Respect to your views, however, I will always think twice before I give anyone anything in a shtf situation. There is a serious risk of “attracting” the unprepared and desperate to your situation
If you're a bit broke or saving money, go to the local laundry and ask for their empty buckets from laundry powder, i work in a motel and they give them to me for free
After Hurricane Ida we didn't have water for 2 weeks. The National guard would hand out free bags of ice. Everyone would go and get a bag to keep things cool but once the ice melted we pour the water into a large tub for cleaning to save our bottled water for drinking.
“When I was a teacher” Now I understand your tonal characteristics Your ability to articulate yourself clearly and choose words properly and with thought Your ability to empathize in conversation and your overall demeanor All excellent transferable skills you utilize here as well Profiling is one of my skill sets I always took you for a teacher or instructor or some sort ✌️🇺🇸
I made my family members (sons who have now left home) each a basic 3 day emergency backpack with a water bottle and filter, 3 day lifeboat rations, firelighting, torch, first aid kit, mutitool etc Can be kept in their cars or by the door for emergency evacuation.
I gave out the amazon 216 peice first aid and survival kit that costed $30 each to about 5 people I work with and about 6 family members. The secret to buying this many kits for this price is start buying in the summer 2 a month until christmas. Prepping items makes good gifts and it's a way to help others prepair without telling them yo prep so you don't give yourself away.
Some nice ideas there. Buckets are ok, but they would be better if they were square, so much wasted space when storing them. Any idea of what effect the bleach would have on the Sawyer filter ?
"It is to get them off the front poach, so they quit bothering me" I love it! 🥰 We all got family members who are just kicked backed relaxing. With everything going on now, I do not see how someone would not be saving supplies for a rainy day.
Darn good advice, J.R.! I'll make a few of these emergency kits up because I *KNOW* none of my neighbours are in any way prepared for a grid-down event! Thanks, and stay well!! 👍👍
For light's out - we got a large package of cheap LED flashligts (3xAAA) from Bass Pro several years ago. We both work from our basement office which is a black hole when the power goes off. There are flashlights on each desk and another in the bathroom. Other's are scattered through other parts of the house and in emergency kits.
Bought a bunch of spare pillow cases at Walmart recently. An old coffee machine filter container with paper filter is a great commodity. Once used, easily dried & burned.
Great idea! I'm not in a position to make a huge kit, but I could do smaller ones for emergencies if my neighbors were in need. I have a couple chickens so I can share eggs, too.
Also, I have about a dozen or so cheap backpacks filled with items that will help unprepared people if they stop by because they didn't prepare. When those packs are gone, they are gone. I use food grade buckets only and I buy them as I need them. There are no extras. When SHTF, you won't be able to replace them.
Stacking multiple buckets under the kit would be handy for dishes to have a few buckets of water. After scrubbing with soap and sponge, you can dunk the dishes in the water, and then rinse them off with the bottle. A water bottle alone won't do much for greasy dishes.
I literally just bought some buckets last night, and I'm all psyched up to reorg some preps this weekend. Great minds think alike...lol...thanks for sharing buddy. Cheers from Alberta!
I number and letter my storage containers and keep a list of what is in it in a binder. Some even have a list of what is inside inside it too. For emergency containers in the #1 is a gallon ziplock bag with work gloves, flashlight and a sandwich bag with the needed batteries duct taped to the lid. This way I have those first which is best. The #1 box has what I need if can only grab one box. I have 3 and some perifererals if time allows. I live in earthquake and volcanic area so have to be ready all the time. Thanks for your videos and time. Blessings
I certainly appreciate your videos. You do a great job on them. While I'd love to help others when SHTF, I believe that if I hand out some supplies today they'll surely be back again tomorrow or next week and may bring friends.
I like your way of thinking and the video,add a cheap bottle of imitation vanilla extract to the biohazard kit a spot the size of a dime on the face mask will cover foul odors making the job easier. I used this trick cleaning out a chest freezer that the compressor died on it worked wonderfully. Thanks for sharing.
I use a lot of 28 Gallon Totes with tight fitting lids (most have built in clamps to make the storage space more secure). I use new 50cal ammo cans to store three 4lb bags of sugar (that keeps rodents and moisture out). I've been Prepping for many decades and have several large totes of medical supplies and equipment. Some medications will go bad but many will remain good for years. Anything adhesive (medical tape and bandaids) will no longer stick when they get old. I keep dry foods in totes together, liquid foods (pancake syrup, ketchup) in totes together, liquid cleaning supplies (laundry soap, liquid soap, hair shampoo, dish soap) in totes together and dry cleaning supplies (bar soap, dry laundry detergent) in totes together. Sewing supplies, fishing gear, manual can openers, etc can go in a tote together. MARK all totes with contents inside. Keep Prepping my friends.
Actually I would not put any kind of survival food in a kit to give people. Now of course there's a difference between helping a few individuals or one or two families then if you're helping the entire neighborhood where people may compare notes and talk to each other. If you're giving stuff to a good person and tell them to keep their mouth shut then you won't have an issue. Back to my first sentence though, I would give people simple things like small pouches of oatmeal or granola bars but as you're saying if you put survival specific items or specialized items then those who are not of good moral character or who become desperate and greedy are going to think that you've got more stuff that they can get
Best LED flashlights are very small hand crank/solar that I bought very cheap on Amazon. They have a large clip so you can just attach to your sirt, belt loops, etc
✌️😜Try a local bakery as some of their supplies (toppings i.e. icing, jelly, etc.)come in food grade buckets, & other reusable containers that are made of the heavy plastics. Most bakery's will gladly give to you for free, as they just need them gone. Just will need a little cleaning,& this won't put a dent in your wallet 🇬🇧⚔️ God Bless 🇺🇸🙏✝️
@funwithjelly Most countries in Europe uses 18 liters sized buckets (from food down to chemicals and building material and paint). although a bit smaller, 18l is still big enough to be of use 😉
@@ApocGuy thank you! Yes, I’ve seen some in litres to order online but then postage is factored in to price. A wholesaler might be worth a look. I’m always bad at visualising the conversion between gallons and litres, so would rather see them in real life! You’re right though, 18l is only about 4 less litres than 5 gallons, so still a very decent size. Thank you!
