Or an evacuation due to, say, a hurricane like Katrina. That's shit hitting the fan but not an apocalyptic scenario, but still more likely to happen than not.
Look at katrina. Peoole werenoooting and law would not go to those soits due to floods. That wher you want st the very leadt s good home defence system@reen6904
Yeah I was gonna say just a little bit of chlorox would solve the problem. Weather it's in a tank or not, personally I would always boil it or use some water tabs before ingesting it. Especially if it's been sitting for long periods. Any water I've ever stored I occasionally drain and refill with fresh
@@Ghost_Boy36The good thing about PR is that when it happened, people got together the help instead of fighting for toilet paper and going crazy looting.
That is Correct. That's the difference between a potted plant and a ground rooted one. A rooted person is more likely to stand their ground because they had worked hard for what they got and believe in. As for the potted folk will buckle and abandon all around them at a drop of a hat.
Smartest person ive heard in a long time. I am so tired of the conspiracy theories and people flipping everything to make things sound as worse as possible. Pushing their narrative and not giving us any actual advice. Thats what im looking for. Leave the hateful opinions at the door. Im here to learn
depends where you live. If you live in the area likely to be affected by hurricane or tornado his preparation is smart thing to do. If you live in the area of fire risk, it's useless. Maybe the bug out bag, but not in your basement. It has to be in your car or next to the door. The place I live, the preparation is just not worth it. The only scenario is flooding. We just move somewhere else and wait till the water goes down again. Having a property in different area is the best plan b.
It’s crazy how people think they think you can carry in a bag for everything you need to survive, much less help with your family. When I was in the Corps, a 70 lb bag only carried enough basic materials for a couple days max. Supply is always critical.
Nobody thinks that. Any rational person can reason that or quickly find out the very first time they try on their kit. For an avg person, 40 lbs would be MAX. A lot of exploded knees and back any more than that. 70 lbs in the military is when trained 18, 19, 20 yo's in the best shape of their lives.
You got a good start. Good mindset too. I just moved to the foothills of the Ozarks to an old family cabin on a lake. All it takes is a single car to breakdown or wreck and everyone behind that vehicle is screwed. Pray for the best plan for the worst. Nice background music by the way
Where I live we get occasional notifications on our phones that we need to boil our water before consuming it. We had 5 days of below freezing temps a couple of years ago, and the pipes froze all over the area. The Texas power grid couldn't keep up with demand, so we had rolling blackouts. I have camping supplies, so I was able to dress warmly, boil water with butane and alcohol stoves, and cook. I keep battery powered radios in my backpacks, so I was able to follow the news and pass on info to the apartment manager and neighbors. I loaned a few power banks to people so they could charge their phones. No need to bug out when you have food, water, battery powered lanterns, radios, and phone and you can boil water and cook and keep about 5 gallons of water stored. Where I live, I'm more likely to need to stay put than bug out. It's a good idea for everyone to keep a few supplies for an unplanned staycation. ( Don't forget a manual can opener).
You can melt snow with tealight candles for small pieces of wood with a clay pot over them. That's a water source. You can put up your tent and get inside with a candle in a clay pot on top of it and keep warm. One small candle will last for 8 hours. Get a dehydrator, and dry food. Quit spending on frivolous stuff. You can lime enlarged glass jars in keep boiled eggs.
I have a 330 gallon IBC tank in my garage, mainly for flushing toilets and washing. Next to it is 20 cases of bottled water. Next to that is a water filter for the rain barrels in the backyard. Gotta have clean water.
@sh839c the time limit for cancer is less important than the time limit for clean water. I'd rather drink cancer water than dirty water. So there's 2 answers to that, how long are the bottles healthy vs how long are they biologically clean.
Most bottled water is good for 3 years but it’s water, just filter it. The 20 cases are rotated between two households. We don’t drink bottled water all the time but enough to rotate it over a few years.
@@sh839c Carbonated water in glass bottles takes years to get bad if at all. I tried a few bottles after storing them for around 7 years and most of them were still fully carbonated. Plastic bottles should last as long too but i dont thrust them. I had a few of them stored and the bottles started to deform after 1-2 years. What i do is storing several 20L canisters under my bed treated with iodine tablets (works the same as chlorine without the bad taste). Although they keep water drinkable only for 6 months the water was completely clear after 5 years. Thats why i think it will be safe after i boil it when cooking with it/ making tea. Otherwise i will use a water filter.
The reality is that one cannot bug out with everything necessary to survive long term. And of those people who think they can, they have no medicine and will likely get a cut and die from infection.. Point is you cannot carry everything for every possible scenerio.. You will always find yourself missing or in need of something you don’t have.
A queen size waterbed usually holds of water.A king waterbed holds around of water. Those totes are 275 gallons. then add one large individual on it... it adds up but any building built to modern code should be good to go... it would definitely suck if it were to leak out though... well for anyone below it.
Yes, it's ALWAYS best to " bug in". Are you keeping the supply fresh, or is it already sealed for storage? How are you stabilizing the water long term? And do you have bleach on hand In case it goes south? How about methods of resupply and treatment? Also, side note, You need to get caps for your respirators. They let you block one port and not have to contaminate 2 cartridges at a time. You can get 3d printed caps pretty cheap,install them and either epoxy the port shut. They also make it WAY easier to aim a shouldered weapon.
It looks clear, that might be his whole house buffer on a float valve? So always circulating. That's what I do. Just run it empty, drain it, sterilize it twice a year.
I like basements with french doors, you can slide one of those 275 gallon babies or two in there, then make a concrete block bunker down there, with a safe door! :) Don't forget to put the bunker were your full bath is, then you can make it back there and then make a fake wall with a dummy door to get to everything. Just food for thought guys have fun. :)
I am staying at my home I have streams n land n good but of wooded area for hunting and we just moved two months ago to our forever home on the mountains and buging out is the last worst thing we gotta do but not far at all n all my animals r here too as well do while people in big to small citiea n towns running around I am staying home n last as long as possible
This is a very spot on video……bug in (if possible), have your get home, bugout, and secondary retreat locations ready to USE if required. There are too many scenarios that could arrive and you can not cover all the bases…so hopefully you will have your home location as a first starting point and you may have time to plan, pack, and leave if needed with being geared to the situation that has presented itself. Blessings everyone.
Bugging in is a lot more likely, couple years ago , the power went out for a week due to a hurricane, straight to my bugout for solar panels, hand crank radio and alcohol stove , extra flashlights , had it covered
For me im setting up my bob for my second home, my pickup. Im either at home or work and when im at work im prepped to get home lol. Only 11 miles away but 1500ish elevation difference will make for a fun walk. I like your little setup. Keep it up
Paint that container asap. You need to block light from getting to it... Controls algae growth. Your 275 gallons will turn green even with artificial light. Tarp it well if unwilling to paint.
⭕️that's truthfully the reason why quit making content, because too many people can't think past their own self-indulgence. ie: payday = beer n party time. i had came to a conclusion after trying to explain what i seen coming to family and friends and they only laughed at me and went on about going out to party after i took them out for dinner and i paid for it all, and told them to take the money they didn't spend today and use it to buy preps... beans and rice to last a week, and then they laughed at me again. so... you can lead a horse to water, but ya can't make'em drink.... yeah, they can kick rocks and so can the rest of the willfully stupid people.
Very true. But I believe what's coming is and will interfere with our preps. I suggest to learn survival skills to bug out off grid. Barry your preps off grid while you can even water and supplies, including winter clothes. I've been doing this .
All those people laughing at you are the ones you will need to defend against when that time does come, they will first think of you and all your preps. You will be a target. I don't blame the other guy in this thread for not posting anymore content for that simple fact. Learn how to setup and locate caches in remote locations. Spend free time outdoors learning what our forefathers did to live. Bug-In will only be temporary, especially in the inner city limits. Those homes will be the first to be looted and it won't be by 1 or 2 thugs so if you feel you are prepared to defend your large immoble stash of preps be prepared for 6-10 guys packing AR pistols and switched out Glocks. Once you have been identified for having a large prep, you will have to deal with waves, you wont be able to sleep or rest, always on alert. You will be overcome physically and mentally in about 3-4days. Gangs will have control in the cities, police will be at home with their families. State military will also be taking your shit too for the good of the many, I don't see them killing you, but I see them collecting people for settlements (Un-Armed Camps). Glad you are prepared, just don't put all your things in one basket and don't plan to be able to stay at your home for long if you live in the city unless you appear to have nothing anyone else wants.
@CJK329 ⭕️look at the geopolitical situation right now... globally. the chessboard... a dozen or so of countries are on a war footing, and this administration is on the verge of a 3rd war front. you might rethink your position.
I sure hope you didn't forget to prep medical supplies lol. I would say that you have done a good job at getting started but if that is all you have than your going to go through it pretty fast especially now that all your neighbor's know what you have 🤣
Definitely agree brother something a lot of people don't even understand is they think they're just going to bug out and be able to feed themselves and survive will be picked off with sniper rifles won't be able to get food either most people don't know how to trap or hunt
The bug out myth. I could not possibly carry all the food water and supplies I need. I’m staying at home in the high desert. 3.5 hours by car to the nearest large urban cesspool.
If you actually carry your bug out bag as you should. It is most likely to be used as a get home bag. For years, I carried a get home bag. My work area was generally within twenty miles of where I live and often in the woods well away from any other support. I had a get home bag, a lunch box, and water jugs. The contents of the bag were often very useful. During emergency operations, I often worked a 12 hour on 12 hour off shift for several weeks at a time. I depend on exactly what I took with me for my comfort and safety. Or in the worst case to get home.
The safest place is your home, you know the layout inside out, tons of storage, install good quality security defence.. feel safer in normal environment than places that you are not use to like the woods
I'd be interested in how you clean the 1,000 litre water tank and how often you exchange the water! At least you're looking at the possible natural disasters, even with the current tensions I find it impossible to believe the nuclear war scenario.
CDC says every American should have at minimum; food and water that will sustain you for 90 days. The average American has food and water for just one week.
I got a similar setup except i got a whole section for ammo/firearms! I have this weird feeling in the upcoming years ammo will become harder and harder to get! Or worse….!!! And if ever it doesn’t then I still made one hell of a investment since ammo prices only go up! Imo it’s more stable of a price increase year over year then gold or real estate!
I wish you all the luck.That you possibly can get!!!😅 But If we have a real emergency and Sima decides to come in and confiscate, anything that they decide that they need.They can take everything that you have stocked Up on... I like everything that you have Stopped up on to keep yourself safe and emergency....😮
Maybe you could find a good friend who lives in the country and possibly use their place as a bugout location and put a 55 gallon plastic barrel there filled with supplies for when you need it. Offer to help with chores and stuff around the place to pay for your stay
Yes yes my whole life is based around my preps. Literally have streams running through my primary location and my BOL. I have reservoirs within walking distance. I have enough land to grow and preserve my own food. I belong to local volunteer emergency services for training and resources. Preparing is a life style. Not just something you do on the side.
How do you do it ? i have a lot more than that at my bug out location . Best prepping advice I have got in 40+ years of prepping is never keep all your preps in one place . Only someone that is green would keep it all at their house . If some natural disaster or someone robs your stash , you have nothing .
In the event of a natural disaster the world will not be shut down and the loss of your preps would not be the end of you. Help would be on the way. Yeah, it would suck but you'll make it.
Hell no I keep two separate ones. I keep all that same stuff plus more for bugging in and another room like that one but more advanced. Plus have everything already loaded onto a trailer just in case. The rest of it depends on your skills. I always have backup after backup so yes worst case scenario all that crap is going to be going with us.
I agree 100 % I'm 55 and I can't bug out. But I plan on staying home unless I have no choice. If the bad guys come and try anything I don't agree with they will have one hell of a fight trying to get to me and my family
If you stay put you will get stuck either with your preps in martial law with no way to your survival destination. Dont leave it too long but also we need shelter ftom the first emp attacks......its a dilemma......the answer for me is prepping but in your furture dedtination which i have yet to accomplish. Best of luck guys xxx
If there is an emergency that changes everything, bugging out is the worst thing you can do. You will need 3-6 months worth of food, and a way to replenish you water supply. This will allow you to stay "underground" and miss all the excitement from the violence on the streets. Its easier to stay safe if you dont put yourself in bad positions in the first place.
That’s right. Bugging out, in most scenarios, should be a last resort. However, there are certain scenarios when leaving home or a bugout location may be necessary. Folks who think they are going to just run into the wilderness and survive for extended periods of time with limited supplies, would be in for a rude awakening. There are some seriously skilled primitive and wilderness survival experts, and even they would struggle after a period of time. Still, it’s good to learn those skills just in case; backups for backups. Wilderness survival skills might come in handy if folks needed to temporarily leave home and can’t make it to a bugout location for a week or some situation like that. I say, prep for as many scenarios as possible, with a focus on bugging in. Prep up, everyone.
We should have a bug out bag ready for 3 days away from home just incase of a natural disaster, sabotage, bomb whatever. Other than that staying home with preps is the best option. Unless you are Bear Grills/Rambo.
Bugging out is only a last resort after you've depleted all your bugging in supplies, and you have no foreseeable possibility for resupply. Also, bugging out will have a better margin of success if you have a definitive plan and location in place to bug out to, and preferably more than one location, too. Just wandering out and winging it with no plan or definitive destination is a recipe for all kinds of disasters.
That's what I said to the wife we're "Hunkering down," not bugging out with so many other unknown potential threats out there, it's safer to stay in place and ride out the storm. Thanks for the short. Btw, stop showing the wolves what you have in your storage! That's the worst thing you can do, especially when the wolf could be someone you know!
How long can you keep water like that? Do you have any I treat it over a certain amount of time to keep it fresh, or do you use it for a garden or something after so long and replace it?
If all you have is a backpack to bug out with you probably aren't going to make it that far or long. You should have had prepared for multiple scenarios. More than just a bag. Of course and Emp is going to be a huge factor in where and how you bug as well.
Leaving the concealment of your home in a grid down, or apocalyptic setting is the sure fire way of attracting the bad and desperate to you as they will see you as a target 100% of the time
Where would that be if you only had a city home? You might be more vulnerable driving to wherever! God forbid you’d have to shoot someone, but a dead corpse in the front yard might be a deterrent for others!
Another important thought is, what to do after buggin out and when you return. Even if you can return you might not have access to everything, so a water supply is never a bad thing to have!
