Chapter 1: What is the first mistake to avoid in survival situations?
you're right most people think about prepping so they think about sheltering in place mistake number one that cia teaches you is you never shelter in place never shelter in place because when you shelter in place you you force yourself into a position where you're relying on diminishing resources you never want to put yourself in a position where the food you eat the water you drink the shelter you live in is a diminishing resource because then there's a timeline it can only last for so long and especially in like an all-out disaster there's nobody coming to help you
so sheltering in place the idea of prepping your underground bunker or hardening your house or filling your drawer your closet's full of guns that is a fundamental error that marketers don't understand but true tier one operators do you never let yourself shelter in one place instead you keep yourself mobile because on in motion you carry the resources that you have and you can constantly collect new resources on the way
So consider the difference between having a shelf full of ammunition for your 9mm handgun, and then you sit in your house with all of your ammunition, or you move, and every time you come across a dead body or a killed cop, you collect their 9mm ammunition, you move on another mile, you collect more, and you collect what you need, and you carry what you need.
So mobility is huge when it comes to actual survivability. Mobility and survivability is what we're taught, not sheltering in place. So that's the bonus answer. Tiers of bug out. Generally speaking, you have to consider the fact that bug out disasters are going to come in three flavors. There's survivability, immediate survivability. Then there's sustainability.
Chapter 2: Why is mobility crucial for survival?
And then there's escape. So when it comes to immediately survivability, you only need to survive 24 hours, right? How would you get from noon today till noon tomorrow? That's what we call a 24 hour bag. So a 24 hour bag is small. It's light. It's easy. You carry a couple of bottles of water. You carry a little bit of food. You carry a change in footwear.
Chapter 3: What items should be included in a 24-hour bug-out bag?
You carry a change in clothes just in case it's warmer or cold wherever you're living. But you just need to survive 24 hours. Hurricane, that sort of thing. Exactly. Well, hurricane is more like a three-day bag, but this is more like a tornado is impending and you have a way out. Got it. Or this is like somebody blew up your electrical station and you just need to not be in your house.
Heat wave in Texas kind of stuff. Sure, sure. Right? You just need 24 hours to get from a safe place here to a safe place somewhere else. 24 hours is easy, right? It's a backpack. You can move a family of four in a single 24-hour backpack if you wanted to. You just get on a plane in Tampa and get off the plane in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, and you stay in a hotel, safe, bugged out.
You're safe from harm. Then you have a three-day bag. A three-day bag is when you actually expect a disaster to occur, and it will take up to 72 hours for you to get to a safe haven, right? Because the idea with a bug-out bag is always to get you from where you are to a safe haven. So if you can get to a safe haven in 24 hours, you only need a 24 hour bug out bag.
Chapter 4: How do you prepare a three-day bug-out bag?
If you need 72 hours or up to 72 hours to get to a safe haven, this is more like your hurricane, flood, et cetera, et cetera. Because most likely you're going to leave your home, you're gonna get stuck in traffic, you're gonna get moved to like a football stadium somewhere where they're gonna take care of you for 24 hours while they bust you to another location. So you need 72 hours worth of gear.
In that case, you're carrying a little bit more cash. You're carrying different types of clothes because you're carrying some clothes that you only sleep in versus some clothes that you wear during the day. You're going to be carrying things like sunscreen. You're going to be carrying things like sun protection, sunglasses, because you need 72 hours to protect yourself from the elements.
You might have a raincoat or a poncho. So it's a little bit different than your 24-hour bag. And then you have full-on escape. Full-on escape means you're leaving your property to relocate to another property for an undetermined period of time, right? So like massive, massive disaster. So like when Katrina came through, people lost everything. They had to evacuate like they were escaping.
And there's kind of two methodologies there. You can escape with your 72-hour bag because you know that you have what you need to get you to where you're going. But then there's an element where if you want to do it properly, you also have to have all of your key documentation, passports, birth certificates, you know, all that other stuff.
So we keep a fire safe and inside of our fire safe is a fire safe bag so that whenever we have a true escape situation, we can grab a 72 hour bag and grab our important documents at the same time. so that everything's mobile along with us. And then we know, as sad as it would be to lose our studio and our house and all of our artwork and all of our children's memories, we're going to lose it.

Chapter 5: What is the difference between immediate escape and long-term survival?
We can't fix that. But what we can do is keep the children and everybody else alive by relocating.
the geopolitically i guess what is the tipping point that requires you to do to leverage the long-term bug out bag what is it is it simply chinese chinese economy just took over the u.s the world power we're out or is there something along the way that that you're planning for preparing for this is the million dollar question right and and i feel like there's a lot that we can learn from what the jews did and didn't do in world war ii because
Too many people were waiting for a tipping point. And what I would say is don't wait for a tipping point. Set a date on a calendar. Even better, set three dates on a calendar. An early date to check in, a mid-date where you're kind of wondering whether or not you should do this, and then a final date where you're like, come hell or high water, we're doing it.
And that's kind of what we have on our calendar too. We are leaving the United States in five to seven years. Like that's our deadline date. And I was telling you earlier how we're in a growth phase of our business where it's growing so rapidly that we're a little bit limited in what we can do. So our date actually changed because of the business opportunities that exist with our business.
So now a big part of what we're working on now is growing our business in a way where we can manage it from abroad.
right so we know that come 2030 we're leaving not because we're waiting for some sort of tipping point but because between 2030 and 2035 there will be a tipping point and I would rather observe that tipping point from the stands rather than be on the field because then after whatever happens happens and the shake-up happens and then we can decide what we do next
right that's fair so that's that's the way to think of it don't look at don't look for a tipping point look for a drop dead date and then set yourself a couple of check-in dates before that so that if you need to expedite or change your timeline you can and that's exactly what we're doing i love that i want to talk quickly about privacy for a minute here so cia as a as a uh as an intelligence agency can you delineate it first from other agencies we hear about nsa fbi so on and so forth i think there's
Yeah. What should be the delineation line between CIA and some of the other major intelligence agencies?
So they're actually inside. So when you talk about the multiple intelligence agencies, what you're talking about is something called the intelligence community.

Chapter 6: How do intelligence agencies differ in their operations?
Right. And there are approximately 18 agencies within the intelligence community. Each one of those is delineated according to their purpose and what's known as their authorities. So purpose is pretty obvious, like what is the reason for your intelligence collection mission? What type of intelligence do you collect?
And then there's the authorities, which is what authorities have been granted to you by the executive branch to essentially violate certain levels of privacy to execute your intelligence mission. Inside of that intelligence community, CIA lives in the human intelligence space, what's known as human.
So CIA's mission is to collect information, to collect secrets, secret intelligence, from human sources in foreign countries that benefit national security here in the United States. So that's their mission. NSA is there for signals intelligence or SIGINT, right? Different than CIA's HUMINT.
Signals intelligence means they're there to collect intelligence that can be gathered, secrets that can be gathered from signals in the atmosphere. So those could be radio transmissions, they can be encrypted fiber optic transmissions, they can be satellite communications. They're all signals and they're supposed to collect them from there. You've got FBI, the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
Their job is to keep the homeland safe by investigating threats in the homeland. So domestic threats. That's foreign and domestic threats, but within the domestic homeland. Okay.

Chapter 7: What challenges do intelligence agencies face in communication?
You got it? I do. So people have different missions in those different ways. The authorities that each is granted is where the privacy piece comes in, right? So CIA, for example, has no authority to collect against U.S. citizens. They can't do it. There's no authority that's been granted to them.
So if an American in Michigan radicalizes and joins ISIS through an online server and becomes a sworn member of ISIS but retains their US citizenship, CIA has no authority to collect on that person. FBI can. because FBI's authority is to collect against any threat, foreign or domestic, that exists in the homeland.
So then does authority or ego prevent these organizations from communicating with one another? Ego and practice, right? And here's, we've got to keep in mind, like anybody who's ever worked for a company, You used to work for a big company, right? Did the HR department speak the same language as the sales department? No. FBI doesn't speak the same language as CIA.
So even if you have the head of HR and the head of sales are saying to their team, we have to coordinate, we have to communicate, the actual emails themselves don't make any sense to anybody. And when people come across something they don't understand, they just don't do it, dismiss it, right?
Chapter 8: What lessons can we learn from historical events regarding preparedness?
And that's exactly what happens in the IC. You have 18 different groups, right? You've got the Air Force Office of Special Investigation speaking to FBI. They speak in Air Force. The FBI speaks and FBI speak. And then they both speak to NSA, who speaks in a third language altogether. And then all three of them speak to CIA that speaks in a third language altogether.
So then nobody's really speaking the same language. Everybody's deprioritizing each other's intelligence reports because they just don't understand what they're saying. And in comparison to the intel that they're getting from each other, they're getting tons of intel from within their own organization.
So they're prioritizing their own intel, deprioritizing their partner's intel, and it makes just an administrative challenge.
Prior to World War I, my understanding is intelligence espionage-type operations were wartime ramp-ups and then ramp-downs. World War I happens, World War II happens, especially 9-11, it launches conspiracy theories. Hey, Pearl Harbor, we turned a blind eye to Winston Churchill warned, I forget the president, that's terrible. Who was president for Pearl Harbor? Roosevelt.
Yeah.
Yeah. Warns Roosevelt, Roosevelt turns a blind eye. He wanted American sentiment to be on the side of getting involved in this conflict. 9-11, similar sort of conspiracy theories are out there. So it raises the question, are we at a place today
with the idea that and and you've said this and this is so true safety and privacy are are competing right the more safety you have the less privacy and and vice versa so the idea that uh uh we have more and more intelligence agents more and more intelligence agencies more and more breaches if you will of privacy breaches depending on who you are i guess you could describe it that way and the fact that post-world war one post-world war ii we've ramped up
intelligence operations no matter whether a peacetime or wartime and have accelerated that are are we are we in a place where there is a i don't know there is a desire by the elite class to control the populace and that's why we have these intelligence very conspiracy theory or is it very necessary for a country like ours to have scaled to the point just like a company to
I don't know, continue to trickle into the private lives of its citizens.
