Preppers are NOT who you think they are! Prepare to have your perspective on preparedness reshaped as we sit down with Nate from Canadian Prepper, a voice of reason and guidance in the world of survivalism and self-reliance. Amid the chaos of a global pandemic, Nate's insights on the surge in demand for trustworthy information over basic survival skills and gear reviews underscore the complexities that content creators face, especially when navigating the realms of censorship and demonetization. His dedication to providing authentic analysis is a beacon for those seeking to understand and adapt to the uncertainty of our times.
Venturing further into the heart of readiness, our chat traverses the landscape of the Bugout Roll, Nate's invention catering to the organized prepper. Yet, it's not just about the gear; it's about the evolution from simple emergency bags to the grand vision of a self-sustainable homestead, a testament to the depth of the prepping community's journey. We confront the post-pandemic proliferation of exploitative companies, the stigma of prepping, and the indispensable role of community in forging a bulwark against burgeoning global threats like climate change and cyber warfare.
Rounding out our discussion, we tackle the societal vulnerabilities laid bare by the pandemic, emphasizing the necessity of preparedness for personal freedoms and societal resilience. Nate's perspective on the preparedness of the wealthy versus the resourcefulness of indigenous communities offers a profound take on global instability and technological advancements. Our exploration doesn't just inform-it empowers you to take ownership of your preparedness in a world where personal responsibility is the cornerstone of collective security. Join us for this profound episode that will leave you contemplating the role of preparedness in an unpredictable future.

My husband is disabled. We are both in our seventies. We made a decision to leave our homestate due to cost of living being way out of control a year and a half ago. We bought a small homestead in another state and I began gardening in Rangeland buckets. They were more cost effective than building beds with wood. I am in the process of collecting a water filtration system and have stockpiled medicines and other items we will need in the event of any catastrophic situation. Water catchment is next and we have enough defense to protect ourselves from unwanted intruders. If necessary we have enough room for all our grown kids and their families. Thank you Shawn for teaching me what I needed to do to become prepared. People have called me gullible, paranoid, stupid, and crazy for all the steps I have taken toward our self reliance. I call us prepared.

@kelloggs7447 6 месяцев назад

Fear started my prepping journey almost 4 yrs ago. While others bought toilet paper I bought rice beans and water. I had no idea what I was doing but soon found prepping channels. For awhile I felt this relentless drive to gather food and water. Then after about a year I switched to thinking long term. Increase the veggie garden, save seeds, learn to pressure and water bath can food, dehydrate foods I have grown, start stocking medical supplies. Preparedness is a journey and it is work but it’s probably the most rewarding work I have ever done. If I feel worn out in one area of prepping I start something different, maybe printing off instructions for everything from soap making to bread making, maybe its reading up on treatment of medical emergencies. Wherever you are in life learning to be self reliant will give you a sense of accomplishment and it truly helps mitigate fear.

I'm also 78 and a widower and a bit more of a survivalist for some 40 years. My only concern physically is that I'm on a blood thinner and Medicare doesn't pay for amounts of meds to stock up on. I might make it a year. I don't follow Jesus mainly because I have been studying the Bible a lot. I am concerned about the rise of Christian nationalism and a possible civil war. Most people won't last very long if the grid goes down. I live in the northern Rockies and game might last a few weeks. I will shelter in place.

To me, prepping is a fantasy. If the world crashes, those living this dream of living agriculturally independantly may last a few days longer, but they would be just as doomed. At the very ideal best, they might survive on the edge of subsistance for a few years. If society dies, we all die. What I mainly don't subscribe to in this convo, is the suggestion that society is a house of cards that can and is about to come down any time now because someone somewhere sneezes the wrong way. Humanity has long proven to be resilient. Solutions will come because people are creating them, as a a society.

@victorygarden556 6 месяцев назад

You might think so, but there are examples in other countries of what you predict and it goes differently everywhere due to a number of circumstances. Look at South American countries, or South African suidlanders especially. Suidlanders are a fantastic example of doomsday prepping not being only for doomsday, but also for political issues that are a part of fifth generational war. Your concept of warfare is outdated. Update it with the concept of fifth generational warfare and you will see how most preppers that are serious conceptualize the coming problems. Fifth gen war is “sub warfare, but far far more than regular competition”. My food preps are for doomsday but function as an everyday emergency fund that lightens the load on my financial emergency fund. The ammo I use is stockpiled above my normal peacetime amount, but not by much.

You could use Texas as an example of the grid going down. It did go down here in 2020-21 in December. Multiple people died from either freezing or trying to get warm they died from carbon dioxide. It was horrible Personally, after Hurricane Ike, we went two weeks with no electricity and 10 days without running water, in September, one of our hottest months. We managed well because we were prepared. We had water, we cooked outside, etc. Being prepared is the key!

@PreparedOverlander 6 месяцев назад

They died because they tried to go about life as usual. They had no idea about moving the entire family to a single room, or putting up a small tent in the living room. Warming a small area is easier than trying to stay warm in an entire house. I made a video using a tent in my basement, a single candle with a clay pot over it. The temp went up about 15 degrees in a matter of an hour, and that was without people being in it.

Watching my family in Houston go with no power in that freeze I only lost power 4 hrs not a week but I got a woodstove and harped on family to get one, only 1 brother followed my steps and got one but the rest who froze their tails off didn’t do diddly 🤷‍♀️ what is up with that?

@helenkessler6012 6 месяцев назад

59 died. It was unnecessary you people need to check on your neighbors so maybe your neighbor might check on you. We never lost power thru the freeze. Did loose 1 outdoor faucet of the 5 we had. Invited all into our home but Noone came.

@debbiec.1564 6 месяцев назад

Actually, 246 people died during that time. They were trying to get warm. Many in their cars, some in their cars in the garages. All kinds of different things. People were just trying to get warm. They lived in apartments, rental homes, etc. It was terrible.

I think that the word 'Agency' and even words like 'Fun' and 'Satisfaction' .. would sell the message more than the .. fear / reality stuff. The reality is there .. but there are other aspects to learning the life skills of past generations. If it's done out of fear .. and the the 'Big Event' never happens .. that's a loss. But, If it is done for the satisfaction of some Autonomy and Traditional Skills Acquirement .. it is not really even relevant if the big bad event ever occurs .. but it it does - You're Ready! ; )

The things that are done on that channel and your Shawn James channel are amazing and relaxing at the same time.

I’m subscribed to all three channels and love ‘em! 😊

Thank you Shawn & Nate for this interesting conversation & sharing. I've appreciated your points of view & experiences. There is for sure a massive change unfolding on this planet. We are too much and the most of us are unaware of what is going on. Different levels of embodied Souls..."Estote Parati"..... I suppose you know what it means....Life can often be unpredictable. It's up to us to be present and in the Life flow to understand the subtle messages that are addressed to us. Animals and Plants know easily than us how to manage that. That's why as Shawn says, to come back to Nature is so important. I made this choice decades ago, and I'm so blessed even if is not easy to be self reliant and prepped. But it's so full of freedom. Grazie from Italy!

Wool blankets for bug in. Gallons of water under the sink. Two weeks of canned food in the back of the pantry. Separate bug out bag with three days of food. And a lifetime of knowledge and experience! ...most importantly.

This was very helpful, especially the parts where we talk about what people can realistically do to improve their situations if they're not ready to/capable of buying land and building a house in the woods. Build community and mutual self-reliance is the best advice I've heard in years. Start small, involve trustworthy, like-minded people near you. Develop financial security, even if on a small scale. get out of debt. And get out of the city.

I will be buying land in a different country in the next 10 years or so and making a start on our homestead. Thanks for being an inspiration Shawn 👍🏻

@sway696 6 месяцев назад

This was an interesting video to me. Because Shawn is such a more calm low key approach as Nate obviously is more flamboyant and into the speculative aspect of what is going on in the world. Nate can speculate like no other 😂 but I like the fact that people who might be slightly different can still collaborate and share opinions and talk about things like we used to. And I think everyone is taking a little bit more of a preparation approach to things due to uncertainty. I think everyone is different but we can still learn from others who have different perspectives and approaches to things. Some people may have negative opinions about it but they should really chill out a bit and realize there only opinions. And we all have different ones. My opinion Nate is more into the business of preparedness and Shawn is more of interested on the sustainability of preparedness. But this was a cool video and conversation either way. I enjoy both channels for different reasons. And maybe I’m not as all in and dramatic as someone like Nate, I still appreciate the time he puts into getting his information. And even if I don’t agree with his take all the time I not naive enough to not at least listen and acknowledge why his opinions could be valid. Glad you two got together for this conversation. And appreciate all the time you both put into your craft and channels. Honestly I think you both bring great value and information when it comes to the common sense of what you need to keep on keeping on.

Be sure to store dry foods because if the grid goes down for any real length of time, you probably won't want to garden. I have the room, a fenced in area, the seed, the knowledge, and the needed equipment to garden but I won't garden if the grid is down in a WROL situation.

Shawn and Canadian prepper, thank you for this podcast on this topic. It made me look at things in so many ways. You both discussed this topic in such a sensible way and in such a respectful non confrontational way that was wonderful. Politicians, families, and people, in the past, sit down together and would have discussions like this on all topics without all the drama and disrespect when someone thinks differently or disagrees with you and wouldn’t try to force their way on you. They respected people were different ( yes I said that word people today don’t like) and they aren’t always going to agree with you and if they listened with open minds they might Learn some new things. I subscribed to canidian prepper and I’m definitely going to watch his videos and continue watching yours Shawn. I’m 77 and live with my son and watch you under his channel. I’m so happy you get to live your life and within our circumstances doing what we can. I wish only good things come your way this new year the days continue to be kind to you both and there’s lots of joy along the way. Miss mimi

Shelter, Items for starting fire and means of filtering water. so have a start on things . Love these shows . also have seeds to grow foods. I have tents, I can also build a shelter, have my fishing rods. Have a plan where id go.

@marydingus4360 6 месяцев назад

This preparedness is really hard for a widow on her own living off social security! Not much in savings. I do put canned foods back in box in my walkin closet, and put flour, rice, dried beans in freezer. If our grid is taken out, i would lose that. I have physical limitations that prevents me from growing garden. Plus i rent, and they wont allow me to dig up ground. Wished i could do more with less money!😢

@jamesoncross7494 6 месяцев назад

Shawn I love your channels. I'm not sure if your fear is driving you or your love for the outdoors. At 1st I thought it was your love for the outdoors, but somehow it seems it has shifted to fear. I'm not sure if you are using that for justifying your lifestyle switch or what. It is confusing to me. You are an impressive man no matter what. I'm not sure if your family even understands how much hard work you have been doing for them. I'm sure when you pass away there will be a whole bunch of people who will worship your body of work and will reach generations to come. You will be like Bob Ross the painter.
