The LOTS Project Morning Show

A camera on a pole doesn't sound like a big deal.Until it becomes a network.Until it follows vehicles across jurisdictions.Until it starts identifying people instead of license plates.And until cities start realizing they may have signed up for something bigger than they expected.In this episode I dig into recent developments surrounding Flock, why some communities are pushing back, and why others continue expanding surveillance infrastructure.I also share progress on the cabin build, including floor prep, patching seams, upcoming vinyl installation, and clearing trees for the future solar array. Plus my first impressions after finally getting the Echo Radios in hand and testing them in an area with almost no cell coverage.If you're interested in self-reliance, preparedness, Bitcoin, homesteading, privacy, and questioning systems most people never think about, this episode has plenty to chew on.Coffee of the Day: Light Ethiopian from Food Forest Farms Use code LOTS10 Sponsors: • Blockstream Jade, Jade Plus & Jade Core https://rewards.blockstream.com/thelotsproject • ComfreyRoots.com https://Comfreyroots.com Telegram: https://t.me/LOTSChat Echo Radios $40 off: https://echoradios.com?bg_ref=Sv7Jdlw250 Code: ECHOBRIAN407720 Affiliate Disclosure:This episode may contain affiliate links.

Episode 873 is a real-world breakdown of riding out a West Tennessee ice storm while living in an RV—what Brian did to prep, what failed (hello, cracked hoses), what worked (water storage, propane generator strategy, comms), and what changes he’s planning before the next storm—especially with the cabin/property plans in mind.He also opens with quick commentary on the recent Bitcoin drop and silver pullback, and restarts the Telegram Bitcoin guessing game.Sponsor / Partner Links (some are affiliate links):Signature Solar: https://signaturesolar.com/?ref=LOTSBlockstream (Jade / Jade Plus): https://store.blockstream.com/?code=TheLOTSProjectFold Card: https://use.foldapp.com/r/FANEWETXComfrey Roots: https://comfreyroots.comFood Forest Farms: https://foodforestfarms.com (Code: LOTS10)The Bitcoin Standard (Amazon): https://amzn.to/4qdKSyHBitaxe 602 Gamma (Solo Satoshi): https://www.solosatoshi.com/product/bitaxe-gamma/aff/213/Telegram chat: https://t.me/LOTSChatAffiliate Disclosure: Some links may be affiliate links, meaning I may earn a small commission if you purchase through them—at no extra cost to you.

Episode 871 kicks off with a cabin build update after a weekend of bad weather, mud, and making progress anyway — plus the reality of juggling two-person build tasks when life and work schedules get in the way.Then we get into a local small-town story: a gas station attempted break-in that blew up across every Facebook group in the region… and ended with three suspects apprehended — all minors. The wild part? One of them showed up with a rifle.From there, Minnesota keeps doing Minnesota: protests, outrage cycles, and people watching the same footage and somehow arriving at completely opposite “truths.” We also hit Bitcoin price action, the weekly guessing game, silver going on a tear, and the ongoing propane regulator saga that should’ve been a simple fix… but isn’t.Partners, Sponsors & Resources • Signature Solar: https://signaturesolar.com/?ref=LOTS • Blockstream Jade & JadePlus (10% off): https://store.blockstream.com/?code=TheLOTSProject • Fold Card: https://use.foldapp.com/r/FANEWETX • Food Forest Farms: https://foodforestfarmms.com (as spoken in the episode) / https://foodforestfarms.com • Comfrey Roots: https://comfreyroots.com • The Bitcoin Standard: https://amzn.to/4qdKSyH • Bitaxe 602 Gamma Solo Miner: https://www.solosatoshi.com/product/bitaxe-gamma/aff/213/Affiliate Disclosure: Some links may be affiliate links.

In Episode 869 of The LOTS Project Morning Show, I break down the latest cabin build progress as framing wraps up, dive deep into silver’s explosive price movement, and share a grocery store moment that had me questioning whether I smelled terrible—or if something else was going on entirely.We also talk about physical vs paper silver, real supply constraints, local food sourcing, and reconnecting with farmers as we move closer to settling in long-term.☕ Coffee for this episode: Holiday Blend – See the Light from Food Forest Farms🔗 Partners & ResourcesSignature Solar: https://signaturesolar.com/?ref=LOTS Blockstream Jade & JadePlus: https://store.blockstream.com/?code=TheLOTSProject Fold Card: https://use.foldapp.com/r/FANEWETX Comfrey Roots: https://comfreyroots.com Food Forest Farms: https://foodforestfarms.com⚠️ Affiliate DisclosureThis episode includes affiliate links.
