You don’t have to go home, but you can’t stay here as a popular phrase. We used to use it a lot when I bartend it in an another life. Today we’ll talk about travel and safety.  My channel Focuses on emergency Preparedness topics for the traveling professional and family. Among the topics I'll cover are emergency preparedness, food, cooking, travel tips, shooting skills and current events, as well as some fun topics such as Pets, Bourbon and Politics.

Quick morning find from the convention I just left: a full retro arcade setup with classics like Pac-Man, Galaga, Centipede, Donkey Kong, and more. The sounds, the cabinets, the high-score chases — instant time machine back to the 80s. Who else grew up on these? What’s your high score on Pac-Man or Galaga?

Quick 5-minute reminder video as I head home from a conference: a simple, systematic way to leave your hotel room without leaving anything behind or getting surprise charges. Key steps: • Check weather & traffic from your window (if possible) • Start at the window side → work front systematically: drawers, under bed, closet, bathroom, outlets, behind curtains • Grab your water bottles, snacks, and any food you brought • Do a final walk-through for damage (scratches, stains, etc.) you didn’t cause — report to housekeeping immediately • Before hitting the road: check forecast/route again, let someone know your planned path + checkpoints Nothing fancy — just good habits that save headaches and money. Have a safe, relaxing weekend, y’all. Check your weather, check your route, and stay aware.

Hardcopy Books That Could Save Your Life: Why Physical References Beat Digital in a Crisis (2026 Prep Tip) In a grid-down, EMP, cyber outage, or even just a long-term power failure, your phone/tablet/e-reader becomes a brick. That’s why hardcopy books are non-negotiable for serious preparedness. In this video I show four real examples I keep on hand: • CareWise Guide (old insurance giveaway – symptom checker & home care) • Special Operations Forces Medical Handbook (military-grade trauma & field medicine) • Calculus 3rd Edition by Howard Anton (math conversions, engineering reference) • Halliburton Red Book 2020 (oilfield pressure ratings, pipe specs, quick conversions) These aren’t collector’s items—they’re quick-reference tools for medicine, math, pressure/volume calculations, and more. There are hundreds of similar books for every skill set. When the internet is gone and batteries die, paper wins. Grab a few now while they’re cheap and easy to find.

🚨 Live highlight clip: Proof that prepping with teenagers is 90% survival training and 10% restraining yourself from yeeting them out the window. • Son ate an entire 5-lb bag of chicken strips… then asked for dinner 3 hours later • Daughter Spartan-kicked brother off patio • Another brother hid witch claws under sister’s bed after Saw marathon → she fell down stairs and left an ass print in my sheetrock • Apple missed one kid, nearly hit another, and embedded in drywall instead My walls looked like a war zone when we sold the house. Teens = the ultimate SHTF stress test. Who else has teens that make prepping feel like actual combat?
