A Preppers Workshop - Preparing For The Coming Struggle! Stock Up On Tools & Supplies Now!  

Nice video. I've done the same thing. BTW, i live in Rathdrum. 🇺🇲

Inventory & organization are huge! Spent last weekend working on both.

Industrial O’ring kit and a bolt kit will be life saving. Some stock steel and welding rods are a great value.

100% agree! Instead of spending $1000 to hire out for a home project, spend $200 bucks on parts, $500 bucks on the tools and learn a new skill. My next objective is to become a proficient welder.

You should insulate the shop!

I Have basically had this mindset since I was a kid. I grew up low middle class (not poor but just barely). So a lot of this isn't new. The one thing that was said in this video that can't be understated, "Don't be a high time person, Be a low time person". One of many things I learned the the Marine Corps is, "Get comfortable with being uncomfortable". I'm so used to it now that when things get comfortable I get an uneasy feeling.

A timely video ! I just today got my shop cleaned up, summer projects done and put away. Kayaks hung from the ceiling. My floor space fits my 98 Jeep TJ wrangler, Honda Rancher quad with a Warn plow and the snowblower. There’s a small wood stove to keep everything warm and dry. Got my wife a new snow shovel 😂 so we’re ready for winter here just south of McCall.

Absolutely agree with you on learning the skills to do repairs. Save money, and learn how to do it for when it’s no longer an available option to go somewhere or have a service call. Nice organization. Love the workbench setup.

Good idea storing motor indoors and flipping the boat. I put a cover on my 14’ v-hull and it was a fail. Even putting a structure to keep a pitch to it puddles would form and after the first year it started leaking.

Im a carpenter up in alberta canada and i see what your saying no one whats to come in to some trades. I love the new kids mental idea of ooo i gotta go to college to make money. Means more work and money for me

Excellent content, I discovered your channel two weeks or so ago and it’s by far my best find this year on YT!

Great video , my one word of advice would be buy a larger fire extinguisher. A 5lb or 10lb ABC for inside the garage . God forbid you have a small fire you're going to wish you had a 5lb or larger in case of emergency.

Won’t be able to afford my own place before all this hits the fan… especially living in the same neck of the woods. Thanks, California.

Can relate, my beater with a heater work car wouldn’t save me money going back and forth to work if I took it to shops that charge $150 to just look at it reading the codes. Just did the timing belt an water pump an radiator an it cost me 200 just for parts. Probably would have been near 5 or 600 for a shop at minimum!

Been working on organizing my own space lately. I been taking on projects myself for the past few years. I gain skills, experience and tools but it certainly takes longer for me to get things done than to hire out. In the long run, it's better to learn and have the tools.

Great workshop! I agree with you on building skills. Ha….I’m lacking in that dept! Ohhhh, wood splitter 👍🏻 Sleeping bag cracked me up - hope you don’t get sent out there by an angry spouse 🤣🤣 Here in the south, we don’t keep fabrics or boots in our garages…..recluse spiders. (Shudder). Enjoyed the video!

Very good equipment and organized , saludos from California amigo prepper 🫡✌🏼

Thank you!

I really like your setup. We live in a city, but my garage and mindset mirror yours. As a Clint Eastwood fan, one thing that did catch my eye, the shut up hippie sign on the door. Love it.

Nice workshop, man. Totally agree with you that preppers need to put more energy towards construction and mechanical tools and skills.

I have that same Wen drill press. It works great for wood. If you try drilling harder items like aluminum then the bit "deflects" (table tilts down slightly and bit deflects out and up). Does the job but I don't recommend it for heavy use. Get what you pay for.

Love my at home shop. Feel so lucky to have it when half the people can barely afford a 1 bedroom apartment.

I put some type of rack system in the garage for the ladders so if you back your truck in it would be easier to put them on the truck and they'd be out of the weather. Just a thought. Pretty cool set up for the shop too! Just needs a shower/bathroom and your good. :)

Couldn't agree more on prepping for the future and self reliance! I was raised in an LA suburb and am very dependent on daily conveniences. Last year was all about getting my 4Runner off-road/bugout ready with camping gear and whatnot. This year I'm focused on getting organized and stocked up around the house, as well as better physical conditioning.

I understand your frustration with finding repairmen..had my chainsaw in the shop for over 6 weeks with no idea when done😢

Looks friggin great ! Been workin hard on mine as well!

Really nice job! Keep up the good work. :)

Thanks for the sharing the video.

Good ideas!

Thank you sir, very refreshing and I agree 110 percent. I believe a well prepped shop may have more value than a decorated home

Thanks for this video. This gave me some good ideas about organizing my workspace. I used to have that "Shut up hippie" sticker on my truck!!

You need a Mig Welder. Things break and you will need to fix them.

Great video as always. Its frustrating thrse days from shopping to get services done. I hear ya. One in none two is one. Be it a generator or tools etc. whats your opinion on am/fm radios for info etc. outdoor antennas make the difference.

Dude, that's an awesome workshop, man!!

Man and his clean and organized work shop or garage PRICELESS 🤔

Its basically a bug out bunker at this point....with Christmas supplies.

Great job looks like everything has a place

I've never met a plumber over 45 years old... And I've met quite a few. It could just be my area. The experience I have is that ypunger people want to get int tech jobs rather than trades because in tech there aren't people retirement age sitting there at work holding a position that the business doesn't want to train anyone for. Just one thought about that, thanks for the tips and perspective

What type and thickness of plywood did you use on the walls? I like how it turned out.

Nice Job

I love it! Nice place!

Oh you're not wrong brother I've been having to do the same thing something breaks down and I got no choice I have to fix it myself cuz I can't afford it It's getting worse and worse and worse too I don't see this getting any better So I kind of have the mindset that I understand what my grandparents did and so I'm really getting into the recycle stuff get every use out of everything you can Don't throw things away unless you have to because everything is so expensive and I don't see it letting up anytime

Nice setup.. I see you build snares...what are the snares for? Love all the prep items..

We will return to our Grand Parents lifestyle. No specialized companies & services, all DiY... That Loft Nap Area rocks! Need that when the wife is on chores bender! LOL You need swing that phone slower too.

I just found your channel. Looks great. How do you keep the mice out of everything?? Cheers !!

aint it cold in idaho? i cant stand my cabins/shed/garage uninsulated. it is a must

I did not see an ammunition reloading press.

17:17 Glad to see you have safety chaps for a chainsaw.

Not sure how I feel abt connected cameras / microphones…. Phone, car, inside, outside, etc….

Good video, always good to see what others have and how they organize it.

ESPETÁCULO!...SHOW! 👏👍🙌👏👍🙌👏👍🙌

Your video and audio don't seem to be synced up together or is it my phone?

GOALS

What kind of camera are you using for Surveillance? Great video 👍

Recently found your channel. I’m not sure if you’ve mentioned it in previous videos. What brand are your cameras?

Show

what type of bed does he have?

Nice workshop, well set out, do you really know where everything is ? I mean could you Go straight to any item. Not a criticism, if you had the time, you could maybe label your shelves. It's something I need to do. I'm an old fart now, and have learnt most skills required to maintain and repair most things 👍

That's great, but how are you going to stop the zombies coming in through the window?

What is the make and model of the tracking camera?

😮😮😮 shope???😮😮

FREEDOM TO CHAINS (best version) Paul Harvey 1965... wake up people... just saying... also IF I WERE THE DEVIL 😈 Paul Harvey 1965...

When your struggle comes, you won't have any advantage from all those vehicles. Because after a while there won't be gasoline anymore. Or diesel. And if there is any, you can't save it longer than 1 or 2 years. Electricity? Your generator needs fuel. Better buy a windmill and some solar energy equipment. You're right about skills though, but you're a bit late. Better teach your kids. Conclusion: it's all about the American way of life: must make more money, then I'll buy what I need. Instead of promoting crafts already in primary school. Oh, if I were you, I'd buy some sturdy bicycles, handtools, that kind of stuff. Nothing that runs on fuel or electricity. Learn to make bows and arrows. Buy a ton of good glue that doesn't age. To laminate the wood for a stronger bow.

You had better move all your prepping underground, because that space is not going to survive what is coming.

what are you prepping for, a total breakdown of society or locust or nuclear war or what?

Something I really don’t understand. Sharing skills and ideas is fantastic but when it comes prepping, is it really wise to show the world your hand? This RU-vid world of “look what I did” could really come and bite you in the butt if things were to get dicey. Some of these “influencers” show everything but the key hiding under the planter. A lot of folks out there who are not prepared are going to get pretty desperate when daily conveniences disappear. I think we all know what desperate people are capable of especially when they gather. You seem like a modest and resourceful person and this criticism is not directed personally at you. Just another person sharing a thought on the internet.
