Great topic to speak on, one thing about me, is I have almost every brand of power tool, and also have battery adapters, a Ryobi battery can run a Milwaukee product, Amazon has them, every configuration possible, that way if you like a Milwaukee tool but don’t want to pay the extra on there battery, a $20 adapter can now run your power tool.🇺🇸
The same size battery and same type of tools are key the sander i feel is a safety item like ya said last thing ya want is a treated lumber infection they suck and as to making things look nice when the shtf ya don't want nice ya dont wanna stand out the heat gun would be a luxury item and not really needed for to much
How does the bottle carrier compare to the one made by Blackhawk? I’ve used that one for years with a Nalgene bottle titanium cup set up. Been superb. I do wish the zipper wasn’t so tight though.
Very thorough. Thank you. Bottle for the win, standard army system cannot be improved upon once you add the lid to the cup. And that’s mainly just for the faster boil times.
One of my tractor tires leaks air, same with my car and my lawn mower. But what gripes me is when you go shopping for battery-powered tools, they never include the battery. It's like buying a car and it doesn't come with tires.
Yeah, I think they assume you already have a battery lying around somewhere. I try to buy batteries when they go on sale. That way I can get more than one at a time. I try to have one battery for each tool. However, when I'm working on stuff, I usually only grab two batteries and then flip-flop them between whatever tool I need.
Well from your list of tools im pretty well set i too like the dial calipers i have a 12" and a 6" very handy tools I buy old drill bits and I sharpen them and they work great for that i drill holes in srap 4×4 posts to store the bits and write the size by the hole good vid take care and have a good one
That looked pretty easy and looked delicious ! whats a water bath canning process ya kinda skipped over that id be interested in learning that process too
I am a HUGE fan of wool. Thrifting blankets from thrift stores is the way to go. Save $$ It's a treasure hunt every time and you get lots of different ones always at a great price! Subbed.💯👍
That is a great tip. We don't really have any thrift stores where I live. We have one Goodwill but it is always well kicked through by the people that work there. Many people also use it to make extra income. They get there as soon as it opens and collect all the quality items so they can resell them on the Facebook marketplace. By the time someone like me can get to the store everything is well picked through. I'm always jealous of all the people who find treasures in local thrift shops or garage sales.
The sad part is I live in Minnesota. The experience I have is from the Global Pandemic in 2020. When we were all stuck at home, staying as comfortable as possible was very important. The other is rising inflation. Not being able to afford to go anywhere or do anything again being as comfortable as possible inside our own home is very important. What also comes with inflation is the inability to replace expensive items. Maintaining and repairing what we already have is key to keeping a "normal" way of life. Even with all the riots and looting that happened here in Minnesota being able to stay put inside the comfort of my own home kept my family and I far away from any danger. So even though a chair and couch might not seem like the most SHTF things to focus on, having them has already in my lifetime been a huge blessing in multiple different situations.
Brother I commend you for taking time to share your humanity with others who are less prepared or preparedness minded. However IMO the economic collapse that we face will so debilitate society, our two primary tools will likely be an AR and the best running shoes we can buy. God bless. Keep on keepin on.
You could find ways to make it cheaper and save money, and I try to buy whatever is on sale. However, for us, it works out to be the same as what we were spending on kibble.
I agree with ya on this vid i have so many tools and some do a few jobs and some do just one or two jobs but having the right tool and the experience how to use it is a huge advantage also knowing what tool ya need helps a lot as well
I thought ss bottles were all 300 series ss, which be rustproof. Hearing that you had one rust i concerning. Makes me wonder how inert the ss really is.
There are different types of 300 Stainless Steel. So 316 is more "rustproof" than something like a 304. All metal can rust if not taken care of. Putting any SS container away wet can lead to not-so-desirable outcomes. You also have to take into consideration what the weld is made of. If it's one pressed piece it is all the same metal. However, if two halves are welded together, the weld could lead to rusting or pitting. All in all, if you buy a quality container and take good care of it, it should last a lifetime.
@newageselfreliance My concern was more about health. I'm looking to get away from plastics. Stainless would seem like a safe option because if it doesn't react to the environment (water) , then it stands to reason that none of the metal is goo g down the gullet. But if it's rusting, that would indicate that possibly some of the metal will be consumed. Either way, I do appreciate your response. This was the first vid of yours I had watched and it was very good. Look forward to checking out more of your stuff.
@@ronfox5519 When you drink from a metal container you do taste the metal. I don't know if that means I'm drinking metal, but it does mean that there is something about the metal that is making the water taste different.
@@newageselfreliance But to be honest, narcotics, although helpful for painful situations, are not strictly necessary for survival and there are substitutes like weed, alcohol, and other pain killers, so, probably best to stay away if possible
I'm not sure what connector you are asking about? Here are some affiliate links but just so you know I have zero experience with either of these products. I suppose the best way I could help is by telling you the names of everything so you can research what you need. The male and female connectors are called MC4 connectors. The red and black connectors are called Anderson Connectors. There are different sizes of Anderson Connectors, they use Anderson Connectors on Forklifts and Heavy Machinery. However, if you look up Solar Panel Anderson Connectors you should find what you are looking for. Here are the links I promised earlier. They don't have many reviews but it's the best I can do.

I have a black and decker drill like that but it dont have variable speed ive used it on lots of stuff.. by the way who makes that little green bugger anyways ?
Ryobi makes all of these tools. Project Farm actually has a video where he tests a bunch of cordless screwdrivers and the Ryobi is the worst one he tests. I wish I would have seen that before I get these.
It has a digital shut-off that just automatically shuts off power, or does a person still have to physically shut the power off? I'm not a big fan of the idea that a computer is making that decision. If someone hacked into the system everyone could be without power for no reason at all.
Get a big backpack and a bicycle. You can carry everything you need and more in a backpack. The same thing will hold true though. You will carry more than you need in your backpack and as you get more and more comfortable your backpack will get lighter and lighter as you start to leave more and more at home.
Im a tool nut myself and i have lots of them always on the hunt for more of them and then learn the skills on how they work and skills what i need to fix and hope i can do the job correctly
Doing the job correctly is the hardest part. I've learned to slow down and make sure I'm doing things correctly and not just the way that works. I find that the proper way lasts longer and turns out to be less work in the long run.
As we know an honest mechanic is rare these days and if ya can fix it yourself at least know what's going on so ya don't get scammed i hate it when I get suckered cause I do t have the necessary knowalge
It's getting harder and harder because fewer people are getting into the trades and fewer people are fixing things themselves. The amount of business is going WAY up and the amount of employees is going WAY down. I really wonder what is going to happen 20 years from now when all the good trade employees retire?
Been there done that ! It seems that when stuff quits its all at once or a chain of events and dealing with the issues will eat a lot of daylite and time to get everything done and back on track myself im trying to get my lawn mower up and running its 20 yrs old and they don't make it anymore parts are impossible to find and a new one is very expensive so no worries ive been in your shoes and still are take care see ya in the next one
Parts are the worst. You would think that by now everything would be universal. Why does Every Single Thing need completely different parts? I was going to keep some of the parts off my old dishwasher for the new one. Other than the hoses, not a single other part was the same. They are two completely different machines that do exactly the same thing. It drives me crazy.
I have both books, and I generally agree with your assessment. The Survival Medicine Handbook is much better suited to a post-disaster scenario where "professional" medical care isn't likely to be available, particularly for the long-term. It also provides information on water purification and some rudimentary info on naturalistic medicinal substitutes for many afflictions.
@@newageselfreliance WTIND seems geared more for starting a clinic in a foreign (i.e., more equatorial) country with a very uneducated populace, and is now somewhat dated (I have the 3rd printing from 1996), but still has lots of useful info. Both are comprehensive and useful to the average person, but if I had to choose, I would go with TSMH.
