Love all the work you do John! I don’t believe that about America. The British ran the world for a bit an they were just passed by America. I understand Rome fell but honestly don’t believe that will be americas fate, if anything we will be passed by the China or the NWO (rich people)
My favorite quote "Hard times bring strong men, Strong men bring easy times, Easy times brings weak men, Weak men bring hard times"...... This is a perpetual cycle... No words are more true!!
Quite from a novel does not mean it does not hold true. Lol, and how has it been proven false throughout history, give me one example where weak men have brought good times and then an example of how strong men have brought hard times.. America would have never existed without strong men standing up saying enough is enough and having the courage to fight for what right. America has a weak frail man leading the face of our country now and how is that working out for us? Basically your saying strong men like John cause hard times and the pantywaste politicians who never struggled a day in their life suggesting how we should live are the ones we should aspire to be like…
God has led us to be self sufficient 4 years ago. Since that time He has put people in our lives with skills that we don't have. Im now processing meat for hunters and other homesteaders. God has put this together as we follow Him.
Same here. I felt the move of His Spirit and started from scratch. We have a number of defensive measures planned should the need arise. I will not go quietly into the night.
I thank God for making it clear that the time is now to leave. We left a metro area 2 years ago. It cost a lot, but I am so glad we did. We’ve already seen good things for my kids, my wife, and me. I hope this nation repents tomorrow morning, the economy goes great, and all our enemies trip over their own feet. I’d still be glad to be out here homesteading. …but it’s not looking that way, and I’m so grateful to God and our friends for all we have now.
This is a very important topic and I'm very glad it's being addressed. Even centuries ago our ancestors had to think about security. Most of the world has to worry about dealing with marauders. Human nature doesn't change.
South Africa is really bad now for the Whites who live in the country. The used electric fence, dogs and security zones. I don't recall what I was told about firearms.
As a Veteran, I agree 100% with both of you! I have a Military background and have been deployed around the World. With that said: “It is better to have and not Need. Than to Need and Not Have!” Be Prepared, so you don’t have to get Prepared! Do not rely up on your Enemies not coming but have ways of Dealing with them when they do come! This Applies for Earthquakes, Tornadoes, People, Inflation, Famine, Etc. Hooah
Great video! I've been watching Pastor Mark Driscoll, and he says that 'evil won't ever stop itself'. Good men must stop evil in its tracks. Take heed in what John is saying. We all want to believe in the goodness of people, but sadly, that is just not how it works. The way I see it, we act like valves. We either let good or evil pass through. What we contribute is choice, so choose wisely!! God bless you both and thanks for the show!
There are so many passive ways to protect your homestead & family. But there are times where/when you must be more aggressive and stand between your farm/family and the outsiders who want what you have. Be it your food, housing, or your family members or money. Be watchful, informed, and ready at all times.
Off the grid here for 22 years in Hawaii. I use a .22 rifle and a Winchester Defender. All I need. The 22 is for hunting and the Winchester is for home defense.
I love, love, love your videos! So helpful!! We’re 3 years in to homesteading, huge gardens, orchard, sheep, chickens, rabbits and soon to be cows. It’s super challenging but the way to go! Prayers and love from Nova Scotia, 🇨🇦.
Excellent podcast and happy to share ! If anything, CVD taught us, we're not as "free" as we might have thought. We all have to put ourselves into a position to be less vulnerable. We are not owned property of the federal government or corporation.
New to homesteading and security. Love videos like this. This type of knowledge, from a perceivable extreme side, is an absolute must. Love everything John has posted and have followed WPS for years.
It’s nearly 3:00am here in southwest Georgia and the precious Utube algorithm did me a solid. Love this interview! Already subbed to John’s podcasts. Instantly subbed to your podcast as well. What a wealth of necessary information!! 💪👍
I've watching this hiker explore the canyons of the south west. He documents the structures of indigenous people from 900 years ago. History repeats and we should understand how they survived.
I used to not have a very high opinion of Mr Lovell. But, between this interview, his behavior at this years Gunddies, and a few other speeches he has made, he has proven himself to be a class act.
@@ncd7184 One was his video acceptance speech from the first Gundies that I watched. He was in Africa, and his attitude and the way he talked to the guys with him really rubbed me the wrong way. Another is the fact his gear always cost so much, and it seemed like he was over charging just for his little stamp to be on it. This seems to be an issue that has been corrected though. And part of it also felt like he was using "faith" as a marketing tool. These days I just feel like I was wrong about all of it. But, just like eating an underripe fruit once, still kinda leery about every future one I try.
@@holeinmind gotcha. Thanks for sharing. No issue with anything you said. We only see snapshots of people’s lives. Need more to really evaluate a person’s character
Along the lines of security it would be great if the topic of fencing Gates controlling access to your property and your home. Plus the use of camera security livestock and buildings. These are the other side of security.
tiered system for me. hardwired cameras, gates, remote trail cams for unviewable areas on the property. Early warning through our doggos. Are we protecting ourselves from a natural disaster? Or chickens against a coyote? Something on two legs while police are 30min away? Is the family home, or out and about? Does someone in the community need help? So many questions roll into security its good to have a broad base.
ROBERT FROST ....The phrase "good fences make good neighbors" is attributed to Robert Frost, a renowned American poet. It is prominently featured in his poem "Mending Wall," (1914)
1896: The only barrier between us and anarchy is the last nine meals we’ve had. (Alfred Henry Lewis) (however, the quote has been picked up, slightly altered and entered the canon, so it's hard to trace the origins to be sure.)
Everyone should have at least one piece of night vision optics even if it’s a monocular. It’s about $1,000 to get into the game. It’s a force multiplier. You will need a community to survive. Find your people and plan. Find people that have skills that you don’t.
@@juliabrown5948 It’s an expensive endeavor for sure. I think as far as thermal monoculars go AGM is a pretty decent product but I have no first hand experience. Maybe $1,200- $1,500.
John speaks so eloquently and so intelligent. If I could I would choose him to share a foxhole with. But I realize that is not possible- so instead I am preparing and my foxholes will be filled with family and friends I trust.
Homesteading is amazing. However, it does add work to your life. Influencers/TH-camrs can make it look easier than it is. Animals and crops need attention when they need it. There is no "off the clock". My wife wanted every animal in Noah's ark. I already had cows, so I agreed to add chickens. Then I made a garden for her to tend. all with 3 boys under 5. Quickly she realized there is a "rule" people don't talk about. Time management/efficiency. You can't do everything. You must determine your priorities and focus on that.
I have a question for John. John, how would you defend your homestead from law enforcement or government agencies that want to confiscate your stuff and or homestead? Case in point, Ruby Ridge, Waco. It's not individuals I was ever worried about. Seems as if Americans are to scared to defend themselves against situations like this. How do I prepare for an event such as the aforementioned events previously mentioned. God bless you John and yours. God bless America!
I suppose it would be one squad of regular soldiers that divide into two groups. One group will distract so the other group can advance . In this video he said you need more than a small family.
Hello John. I watch your videos all the time. In one of them you talked about the obligations of a man to "protect, provide and prepare" his family and loved ones. I try to impress upon others about those obligations. I can't seem to find that one video of yours. Can you help me, to spread your words?
Maybe the video that I'm looking for, is this one that I'm watching again? If you have made another one that addresses "protect, provide and prepare", please advise. Thank you. I recently told a close friend that I felt like I'm preparing for a battle that I'm too old to fight. His response was in the form of a little diddy:"Too old to fight, Too slow to run. So chamber a round, and wait for the fun". Cute and funny, but sadly true?
A minor pushback I have towards John: before we embrace Security, we need to have something worth Defending. But most of us feel we have something worth Defending, so its a minor point. Great point from John that before we would buy anything, we must know our CONTEXT. And when we buy tools, we need training in how to use those tools. Or go earn the experience. But its usually cheaper to pay someone else than spend the hours and money to learn in the school of hard knocks.
Security is the most important. What you secure is the most valuable. And the level of security ought to match the value you protect. The 1st & 2nd amendment example is a great example. 1st is the first because it shows us where value comes from. It’s the poetic gem we must secure.
For two years I was raising meat/fur rabbits in the CITY. I had an awesome landlord who was okay with it since they were outside. For my security I already had a driveway motion alarm watching my door and rabbit cage and never needed it. Then one night at 1am it goes off and I figure it's a false alarm but grab my 9 anyways. As I go by the door I hear some whispering. I quick open my door and sure enough there is a guy with a flashlight fumbling to open the cage! I yell at him and keep the 9 in a close held draw as he looks then (thank God) runs the other way. I NOW realize why old people have heart attacks when in similar situations. My adrenaline dump was huge and I just started shaking after while it burned off. I was in good shape and in my mid 20s. I'd hate to have been frail and elderly. Later I heard it was an ex of a friend of mine. They said "they were depressed and walking the neighborhood in my back yard when they saw the rabbits and felt bad and were going to free them." They were healthy and had no idea of what to do in the wild. Worse yet there was a stream on one side of my property. They may have got spooked and drown. My rabbit cages were on a blind corner of the small building you couldn't see, hear, or smell them from the road. He was going through my back yard and that's why he saw them. I no longer raise rabbits but am glad I did. The two original breeders were adopted as pets which is what I wanted since they were friendly rabbits and I did get attached to them. At only about 3 years old they have long retirement ahead with a lady who loves rabbits and possibly was going to fix the buck so they could share a cage. A simple $25 drive way alarm from Amazon protected my herd. Security doesn't have to be super expensive. LOCK YOUR CAGES.
When 9-11 hit,we all left our job at break time & went to the gas station to fill our cars with gss.there was a line up of cars for 2 blocks to fill up.crazy.😮😮😮😮😮
YHWH commanded Noah to build an ark, to prepare. Yeshua told us in advance that the days of His return would be just like the days of Noah, we need to prepare.
Exactly! God always provides; however if you want that paycheck, who’s gotta get out and do the work? And that’s just “normal” life. Yes, God provides-He gives us the heads-up something’s coming and the wisdom to get ready for it! And if/when the provision runs out, you know miracles are coming one way or another; either miraculous provision here, or it’s time for you to go Home!!!
Just came across your show in which I truly appreciate but I have ONE SERIOUS QUESTION, you both talked about protection? I thought under the Commandments that’ll shall not kill???? How do you answer that?
If you go back to the original word from Exodus 20:13 that was translated into the kjv as “kill” a more accurate translation would be “murder”. For instance Joab killed many people in battle but it was for “shedding the blood of war in time of peace” that Solomon sentenced him to die as punishment. Hope that helps, it was a question I struggled with for a while as well.
Motion lights, night vison and good communication equipment are good investments. Bad guys like to hide in the dark. Dogs are the best security system on the planet, great early warning system, attack and hunting capability, as well as companionship.
202 good shows used to be the neighborhood where you could leave your property unlocked. not anymore. the threat can randomly choose you. for us it is more common to have another bear danger close than the meth-heads since putting up security lights on motion sensors beyond the house, The last group we caught stealing at night from back yards was a drug circle where the kids were stealing things they thought they.could sell or trade for the drugs -- heroin, meth, and marijuana were evidence and warrant searches found and returned some of the missing property. no front teeth on the main bad guy
With all the foriegner truck drivers, all that needs to happen is they refuse to deliver. Same goes with foriegn owned land owners growing food and or companies processing our foods.
@warriorpoetsociety Great interview, John. But your quote in the Book of Timothy, was in I Timothy not II Timothy, sir. II Timothy 5:8 (KJV) - “But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.” I too get quotes wrong. Not necessarily the quote themselves, but sometimes their exact location, as in this case. It is my intentions to point this out, so in the future, you can know the proper location of the verse. I respect you and your cause very much. Therefore I wanted you to be correct. God bless you all and your families!
IT IS VITAL THAT... rural people ALWAYS VOTE in their LOCAL ELECTIONS... We have got to rebuild our local governments from the very lowest levels first and then work our way up from there. DO NOT let "Others" choose your Sheriff, Prosecutor, Judges, County Supervisors, Town Council Members, Mayor Planning/Land Use Commission Members, Water Board Members, School Board Members, and other LOCAL OFFICIALS for you. Collaborate with your family, friends, and neighbors and VOTE AS A BLOCK in order to put good freedom loving American Patriots into your LOCAL GOVERNMENT. Do not listen to self defeated people who try and tell you that "voting doesn't matter" or "it's too late". These people are the problem in the first place. Marxist will often use these same lies as a way to discourage their opposition from showing up at the poll. We need strong rural people who are willing to stand in the gap for their children, grandchildren, and the future generations to come as well as getting active and do what is right in fighting for our way of life.
thanks for having me on the show!
Need to get you on the 2 Be Better Podcast
Me and my wife follow because of you
Great video to share with WPSN fans about homesteading values and reasons for freedom from tyranny
We call it chicken TV.

My favorite quote "Hard times bring strong men, Strong men bring easy times, Easy times brings weak men, Weak men bring hard times"...... This is a perpetual cycle...
No words are more true!!
It's called the fremen mirage and it's from Frank Herbert's Dune series (SciFi). It's been demonstrated to be false throughout history
Quite from a novel does not mean it does not hold true.
Lol, and how has it been proven false throughout history, give me one example where weak men have brought good times and then an example of how strong men have brought hard times..
America would have never existed without strong men standing up saying enough is enough and having the courage to fight for what right.

@@Okradokra I don't see how
@Okradokra we are literally living it currently.
"It's the Indian, not the arrow" - "One weapon, any tool." Semper, Fi, John! Outstanding talk (as always).
God has led us to be self sufficient 4 years ago. Since that time He has put people in our lives with skills that we don't have. Im now processing meat for hunters and other homesteaders. God has put this together as we follow Him.
This is the pattern the Lord is using in pockets all over the place. He is building refuges. Rod Dreher's Benedict Option is an awesome book on this.
Same here. I felt the move of His Spirit and started from scratch. We have a number of defensive measures planned should the need arise. I will not go quietly into the night.

HoA is a really unfortunate abbreviation. What a video, how wonderful
Agreed they need to rebrand
Been waiting on this episode! John is how I found out about HOA. We need to be more mindful of protection and provision.
As a Veteran, I agree 100% with both of you! I have a Military background and have been deployed around the World. With that said: “It is better to have and not Need. Than to Need and Not Have!”

11:05 easiest way to put it. If you cant protect you're stuff you're basically just holding it for the next group

Good to hear Bible believers homesteading
Awesome podcast, someone is getting me John's book for Christmas and I'm getting amped for it!
Wow! Incredible episode, and a lot to ponder. I was not familiar with John before watching this. My husband and my boys will love watching him.
Right?! Your title about protecting your homestead is what grabbed my attention to watch this!! Thanks so much. God Bless!

So many at that price point seem like a scam... Or shoddy at the least. Any tips or names that look good?

Be a warrior tending his garden. Not a gardner forced into war.
You know the lords going to take care of us eh? That’s a bold statement
I am in the burbs. How in the world can I actually protect my little place? I feel like I don't really have a chance if it really down to it.

YHWH commanded Noah to build an ark, to prepare. Yeshua told us in advance that the days of His return would be just like the days of Noah, we need to prepare.
Exactly! God always provides; however if you want that paycheck, who’s gotta get out and do the work? And that’s just “normal” life. Yes, God provides-He gives us the heads-up something’s coming and the wisdom to get ready for it! And if/when the provision runs out, you know miracles are coming one way or another; either miraculous provision here, or it’s time for you to go Home!!!
Just came across your show in which I truly appreciate but I have ONE SERIOUS QUESTION, you both talked about protection? I thought under the Commandments that’ll shall not kill???? How do you answer that?
If you go back to the original word from Exodus 20:13 that was translated into the kjv as “kill” a more accurate translation would be “murder”. For instance Joab killed many people in battle but it was for “shedding the blood of war in time of peace” that Solomon sentenced him to die as punishment.
Hope that helps, it was a question I struggled with for a while as well.
Motion lights, night vison and good communication equipment are good investments. Bad guys like to hide in the dark. Dogs are the best security system on the planet, great early warning system, attack and hunting capability, as well as companionship.
people will mostly not come to your place to ask for your resources, the come to take.
202 good shows
used to be the neighborhood where you could leave your property unlocked. not anymore. the threat can randomly choose you. for us it is more common to have another bear danger close than the meth-heads since putting up security lights on motion sensors beyond the house, The last group we caught stealing at night from back yards was a drug circle where the kids were stealing things they thought they.could sell or trade for the drugs -- heroin, meth, and marijuana were evidence and warrant searches found and returned some of the missing property. no front teeth on the main bad guy
With all the foriegner truck drivers, all that needs to happen is they refuse to deliver. Same goes with foriegn owned land owners growing food and or companies processing our foods.

Great interview, John. But your quote in the Book of Timothy, was in I Timothy not II Timothy, sir.
II Timothy 5:8 (KJV) - “But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.”
I too get quotes wrong. Not necessarily the quote themselves, but sometimes their exact location, as in this case. It is my intentions to point this out, so in the future, you can know the proper location of the verse.
I respect you and your cause very much. Therefore I wanted you to be correct.
God bless you all and your families!
IT IS VITAL THAT... rural people ALWAYS VOTE in their LOCAL ELECTIONS...
We have got to rebuild our local governments from the very lowest levels first and then work our way up from there.
DO NOT let "Others" choose your Sheriff, Prosecutor, Judges, County Supervisors, Town Council Members, Mayor Planning/Land Use Commission Members, Water Board Members, School Board Members, and other LOCAL OFFICIALS for you. Collaborate with your family, friends, and neighbors and VOTE AS A BLOCK in order to put good freedom loving American Patriots into your LOCAL GOVERNMENT.
Do not listen to self defeated people who try and tell you that "voting doesn't matter" or "it's too late". These people are the problem in the first place. Marxist will often use these same lies as a way to discourage their opposition from showing up at the poll.
We need strong rural people who are willing to stand in the gap for their children, grandchildren, and the future generations to come as well as getting active and do what is right in fighting for our way of life.
John is awesome but Total missed the questions 😂.
