Episode 19: Atlas Shrugged - The Movie = Prophecy?

bepreparedchannel.com

Welcome to another episode of the Be Prepared Channel. Today I do a quick movie review of the movie Atlas Shrugged, a rant on my recent business trip which required me to fly and be patted, pawed, frisked, and violated by the TSA. And some updates to the progress of our urban homestead project. I intended to post this yesterday but my podcast service wouldn't take the upload so I uploaded the associated videos of the Frame It All garden beds yesterday. I hope you enjoy the podcast!

I have some mixed feeling about these composite beds and I show you some of the reasons why in the second video where I show you the pieces, various stages of putting them together and some things to know about the beds. Let me know if you have any questions.
