And we'd get earthquakes in California all the time, but at the time.When they happened you were like, Oh it's an earthquake, and it wasn't a big deal and things would shake and that was it.This was like a major jolt from that earthquake. Again, it was about a week of no power. It was more devastating than the flood because it affected so many more people.And you felt it at nighttime when the sun went down, suddenly there were no lights in the buildings.Podcast Intro: If you're someone who refuses to go along to get along, if you question whether the status quo was good enough for you and your family.If you want to leave this world better off than you found it and you consider independence a sacred thing.You may be a prepper, a gardener, a homesteader, a survivalist, or a farmer or rancher, an environmentalist or a rugged outdoorsman.We are here to celebrate you whether you're looking to improve your Maverick business or to find out more about the latest products and services available to the weekend rebel.From selling chicken eggs online, to building up your food storage or collecting handmade soap.This show is for those who choose the road less traveled the road to self-reliance for those that are living a daring adventure life off the grid.Brian: David and Beth Pruett, welcome to the Off The Grid Biz Podcasts.David &amp; Beth: We are so excited to be here.

We're sitting out here on the deck of their mountain view ranch, right?Beth: Yup.Brian: It's just a gorgeous day right now. There's a fire going on up North so you could see smoke off to the Southwest South there past a table rocks, here over in Sam's Valley (in Southern Oregon).We're just going to jump right into it. What is it that you do?David &amp; Beth: Well, we do a lot of things. We have a company called Amp-3, so it's AMP-3.net and we have preparedness products and first aid.David is an Emergency Room Physician practicing in the Pacific Northwest and we have had our business since 2011. Hard to believe time has gone by that fast.It started kind of from a first aid kit, but we also do preparedness.We have our ranch, which we're staying here for our two and a half weeks, totally off grid.We have a little generator and that's about it for right now. But, we do a lot of stuff. We travel, we have an off-grid trailer and our company AMP-3 started from a YouTube video.So made a video on how to build a first aid kit, of what I thought was a good first aid kit that I had used for a long time.
