Try to keep a full tank of gas in your vehicle at all times. That can and has for me act as a backup for emergencies. There will be air conditioning, heating, and shelter for awhile. I also keep a few supplies in the trunk.
Wifey and I got a 1Kwh battery back up with solar panels this spring. Not out of any fear of huge coming blackouts, but because last year we had huge storms rip through in July that knocked out our power for 3 days and in the South without AC, that's pretty awful. with the solar panels, we can at least generate something and maybe run fans.
I make my own broth and soup base by slow cooking whole organic chicken. No salt added. I then add organic vegetables and shredded chicken and it’s the best soup. Extremely easy to make and freezes well for 1-3 months.
OMGsh, first hand experience with the Puerto Rico power outages! We visited on our honeymoon...walking through San Juan Easter night, and suddenly everything went black. No one seemed surprised lol. We visited a very isolated spot to try some ocean night photography, and almost got jumped by a guy who had been following us. Naive us 😂
I once spent 10 days in India and Nepal. Blackouts were common, and everyone had simple foods ready, candles, fuel, etc. however their climate was more mild, less extremes so it wasn't like 100 degrees in the southern USA.
I was at a local SPCA and offered to volunteer my time. They gave me a three page application that had to be notarized about my background. They also required me to submit a doctors report as to my health. To top things off they wanted me to pay $85 for a police background check to see if I qualify. This senior citizen did not wish to give up money just to volunteer. I researched the local SPCA and found the director makes in the neighborhood of $85,000. I don't think they need volunteers as they don't encourage recruitment by their tactics.
I understand you wouldn't want to pay the fee, but I think it's a good idea that they would check people out so thoroughly. There are people who probably want to do harm to pets or help them be adopted out to fighting rings or something. Plus $85,000 a year isn't an outrageous salary considering the responsibility that person has. Now if they made a million dollars a year then I would be disturbed by that.
Clark touched on it, the reason people are healthier in other places is because they do not drive everywhere. Hilly places are irrelevant if your only exercise is pushing the gas pedal. In America, people drive to the gym to go run on a treadmill.
Plus many hardly run 20 minutes which means they're burning almost no fat and all carbs. This makes them hungry and they over eat right after the so called workout. It's easier to walk an hour and it will benefit you more fat burning wise and total elevated heart rate time. There's too much emphasis on being an elite athlete which is just a ridiculous objective for people who can't walk for an hour straight. Lots of people in blue zones don't even own a car, which lowers driving and financial stress both. If you can't get along without a car, your life is poorly configured. Sadly most Americans lead poorly configured lives.
#BonusTerms - "B.C.": Before Coffee. Difficult time of the day when someone is dangerously "undercaffeinated." 2. "Awkward silence." When Clark gets asked, "What kind of coffee did you have?".... "Uhhhh." LOL. #TeamClarkRocks :)
What happened to Elon Musk's pledge to install solar oanels and get Puerto Rico back up and running? As phony as his autopilot, his Tesla robot, his Starship etc etc.
I hope the powers that be realize the strain that AI and Crypto will place on our power grid. These technologies consume massive amounts of electricity!
I started the carnivore way of eating about 5 years ago, basically live on beef, butter and eggs. I've never been healthier or felt better. I kill it at the gym everyday I'm 64 years old and at my basic training weight when I was 19.
VG has an atrocious website and add this to the customer no service, it’s a recipe for disaster! The new guy isn’t going to be able to change the DNA of being so cheap as to offend their client base. It’s really unfortunate!
I switched 100% to Fidelity this year. I had accounts at both for decades due to different employers 401ks through the decades. When my last job ended this past March, I took their 401k plan from some other custodian and transferred it to Vanguard. The experience was awful and surprisingly, the problems were on the Vanguard side, not the smaller custodian. Taking into account this bad experience and combining it with others from Vanguard, I just ported my Roth and Traditional IRAs from V to Fidelity. I was a loyal Vanguard customer for decades however feel that Vanguard (like Apple) is cult like in the sense of customer loyalty and that my loyalty needed to be reviewed. My experience at Fidelity has always been good and now I’m 100% satisfied with them. I reevaluated the Vanguard experience and realized I had been making excuses for them for years based on a few bases points and now that’s behind me. I wish Vanguard well but I’m not coming back.
I’ve been low sodium since 1988. So, I am an expert on this. No salt added soup is available in markets. More and more no salt added canned foods too, like beans! You can also make your own. Bread is another big problem. So, make your own and no salt needed. Cheaper, healthier. I use a bread machine. Interesting: new research indicates that high sodium diets (all Americans, ultra high sodium mainly hidden in processed and restaurant foods) kills gut microbiome, which in turn raises blood pressure and causes other health issues. So, protect your gut bacteria, be healthier.
@@silentnot4812 Were you doing it for heart health? It's usually an issue with heart and possibly other conditions. Otherwise just watch that you're not going overboard.
12:30 Pop up offer for higher rates both CIT Bank and INOVA Credit Union ... so far. The transfer money out process will trigger the bonus rate to not transfer. (reported by account holders on other blogs this month)
The diet segment is real B.S. Steak and saturated fats are some of the healthiest things you can eat, so I'm surprised at your surprise. Also, you need to clarify that the Soup you can no longer eat is most likely processed/canned soup. Make your own and you can control the sodium. Doctors know actually very little about diet because they are not up on the latest findings, especially how insulin really works to keep you healthy (or not).
Nutrition and health is so individualized that one thing may work for someone that won't work for another. That's why I hesitate with general statements about diets and foods. Add to that medical conditions, activity levels, sleep cycle, etc and advice is very specific to the individual as it should be
It is incredible how many more dogs many of our neighbors have since COVID! How about we do a better job of spaying, & neutering. And get a shelter pet instead of buying from a breeder (increasing demand and # of total dogs). Channel the money instead into hungry children in poverty via Compassion international, World Vision, etc. It costs less to help a child get out of poverty than to own one pet. How the neighbors afford 5, I do not know!
I have no idea why anyone would want to live anywhere close to 100! I’m of the mindset that if I can’t do the things that I love to do, it’s time to check out. I see my father just “exist” at only 90, absolutely no way to live.
I totally agree about customer loyalty being non-existent, especially with auto and home insurance. When prices go up and you call your provider, they give a bunch of "reasons" for the increase. Finding a rate specialist is nearly impossible unless you get really angry. Even then, lower-priced policies often get rejected by underwriters. In meetings, I learned that if the company doesn’t want you as a customer, they’ll hike the rate or send tons of forms to sign. If you miss one payment, they cancel immediately, even for long-time customers. Yet switching to a different provider can drop your rate by 50% instantly
True. 2 weeks ago he had tons of bruises on his other arm. And his neck. And now shows on a defrent arm. I think its due his serous heart conditions. He is not fully transparent about it.
Coffee: absolute best and cheapest and simplest is pour over made from fresh ground just before you make. French is also good but is higher in cholesterol as there is no paper filter to absorb it. Pour over wins for cheap, simple, best tasting. Clark: Pods are worst, most expensive, and bad for the planet. Get your wife to get into pour over. Her mind will be blown.
Clark, I enjoy homemade vegetable pasta soup seasoned with an all natural product called Benson's Table Tasty. It mimics salt. Much better than the grocery store products. Blue Zones is good!
My family is from Sardinia and I can tell you they eat TONS of cheese - especially from sheep. They do walk every day to the market for bread, dairy, meat/fish, they drink wine every day and they eat produce seasonally - no processed/canned food.They live into late 90s-100 years, my relatives who lived here in US did NOT live that long....
I read the Blue Zones a few years ago. I need to re/read . There’s so much conflicting nutritional information now with all the influencers selling powders , vitamins etc. One influencer is promoting drinking orange juice all day 🤷♀️. I do believe that the grid could go down because of international bad actors for how long is the question. I love hearing Clark and Christa’s personal stories! I thought you would end the show”Remember what we’re all about coffee “ 😀☕️
For the love of God, must we suffer through every podcast with a play by play of Clark's and Krista's daily life!!!!! I did not think this was a travel and health podcast. It is harder to get through these daily.
Lisa you stated it perfectly.. And just watch Clark paid commentators will attack and possibly delete ur comment. Like they do to others. Clark DOES NOT like ppl who disagree with him.
One of the things people don’t find out until to late is that if they want a solar system invest in it before they retire. Because if you have no taxable income in retirement you lose out on the tax rebates on solar and on hybrid cars

Many states make it illegal to have panels installed and use them for power during an outage. They are just to push electric back to the system.
Wifey i can tell you are really olde. Vey.
You need make home made soup properly and you wont have issue with to much sodium and it taste great :)

For CHARITIES:
● Ask what % goes to Administrative costs.
If its 50%, that means the remaining 50% goes to the ACTUAL charity 😺 🐶

Great show and info , as always 😊
I've noticed a lot of bruising on Clarks arms and hands. Concerns?
True. 2 weeks ago he had tons of bruises on his other arm. And his neck. And now shows on a defrent arm. I think its due his serous heart conditions. He is not fully transparent about it.
He's probably on anticoagulants. No big deal.
The lighting or definition looks different in this video.
Did you get new glasses?
No, compare this video to one from last week. Christa has more lighting on her side is what I think I am seeing now.

I was surprised he said he can't eat cheese but can eat steak. It must be the sodium in the cheese.
They live longer unless that ruthless mafia get a hold of them.
Having a lot of family support and socializing is a huge factor. Americans are lonely and stressed.
