Sorry if I'm all sweaty messed up I just got finished putting some more wood chips down on that expansion in my garden. I'll show that to you at the end of this but let's talk about what's going on. I just saw that Nestle Unilever and Pepsi are all warning there's gonna be food shortages. Now those are major companies like I think Unilever has something like 400 brands under it and they're all processed food pretty much. It's probably stuff we shouldn't really be eating but whatever it's a new day. You know a store of a wood you can find. I don't think you know I was talking to some of my friends and they their stores are mostly restocked but I live out in the country so I think we're kind of like the last in the supply chain and they're picked over. You can't find soup, rice or beans or corn or if you find it it's not there for long and people kind of wait for the trucks to come and then I'll go in the same day and get it quickly. That sort of buying is happening out in the country. I don't know if it's happening in the cities. People are when I talk to them online aren't having as a hard of a time as we are out here but there's red flags everywhere. I mean those are major companies that are saying hey there's a food shortage coming because they can't get the supplies and the ingredients they need. Some of the countries have shut down their borders. They're not shipping out. The other countries are just keeping their own food. They don't want to ship it out until they know what's going on. So there's going to be some sort of thing. Now hopefully it's just like a week or two where the pickings are slim and then everything bounces back but this can spiral out of hand really fast. I mean people get scared and it can get really really out of hand. So right now you can go out and find stuff. They've restocked but I would still suggest you stock up especially if you didn't go around the first time. Make a list of everything you might need. You can't find flour or yeast or anything like that around here. That stuff's all gone. The beans anything dry that stays for years and years is gone. Now I'm told that in some of the bigger cities you can still find it. You can still find it as some of the little dollar general stores but you can't get much. It's like five pounds of rice. It's not. I can't go out and get a 50 pound bag or something. So the other thing is when the $1,200 stimulus checks it the government money checks. I think a lot of people might pay their bills but then they're going to run out on buy food because they missed kind of the first round and if this doesn't get better like they're projecting in the news somewhere. They might lock some areas down till June. I mean that's insane. That'll completely collapse economy. People cannot handle this till June, July. So that's that's going to be a problem and then what you're going to see is I don't think it'll be an immediate thing. You'll get out everything they'll be like here's your government money check. Go spend spend spend. Get the economy back on track. But what will happen is that initial wave will happen. People kind of poke their heads out and it'll feel normal for a week or two but then you'll notice things are changing quietly and quickly and then one day it'll go right back to what it was. I think especially if there's like a second wave or you know there's there's such a financial economic crash coming because of this. It's a problem. So anyway just prepare. Go out and buy it now before everybody gets their checks or runs out and buys the staples. Hopefully you've stocked up enough but really what you should be focusing now on your garden. Your garden is your ultimate security you know. No matter what the heck the economy does you can feed your family. Something a lot of people aren't talking about is also what's going on in East Africa. There is like a biblical locus plague that is just devastating the farmers there. If you go look at the videos they're incredible. I've never seen anything like it. Here you can see some pictures of they can't even fly the airplanes because they're getting so damaged so it's affecting trying to get food out as well. It's going to be bad there. But all hopes not lost. You see Florida just decided that world wrestling entertainment WWE is considered essential. Now I don't know if you can buy seeds there but you can get your wrestling. Go Florida. Oh God. Lastly I want to say thank you to all the retail workers and the truckers out there that are killing themselves to keep the supplies rolling. Thank you. So today let me show you what I am working on. So this is a bad I'm expanding here. Take a look. But what happened I told you before was that the this was uncured for for about a year or two. It just kind of was like a flower pollinator garden and it got completely overrun because I did not put the cardboard out far enough. This time I'm correcting it. I'm going to go out a foot and then I'm probably going to go out another foot so I never have to do this again. So we're around the edges weeding and I finally put the chips down. So I'm so tired. That's about five to six inches of chips on top of three to four inches of dirt and although this side will be a first year garden this side is old chips that's three or four years old so I expect really good growth on that side. So I'll put the simpler stuff over here that I think is more hearty and the stuff that really needs good nutrition over there and we'll watch. I mean if the leaves start turning yellow I know that you know for the first year this this is not going to be that great of a garden. It'll get you through but it doesn't really start kicking till about year three but you got to start it. So it's out. It'll be fine for things like potatoes you'll do no problem but things like if you're growing that need a lot of nitrogen peas or something you might you might see some problems there. Okay so get gardening the more excuses go do it. So I forgot to mention that you split the channel by obviously using the Amazon links that really helps. Remember you got to go in the Amazon first before you shop anywhere. That's a great free way to help the channel and it's appreciated because YouTube's horrible right now and I keep trying to get off YouTube and move away from them to find me over at BitShoot in Brighton. I just started a account there so it feels just free to subscribe there and I dropped the stories out a few days earlier over there so that's the advantage you get the news first. But then that I do some wood carvings that I'm just trying to keep things afloat right now since the office is pretty much closed trying to you know I myself out instead of going to the government.
