Yes you never know when you might feel compelled to shoot up a group of children. I love how all the ammunition in California fires “cooked” in the fires. With the drought and extreme heat , fires are a real threat. Guns will be very useful when the land around you is on fire.
You don’t understand , the threat is climate collapse: drought , fire , extreme weather and flooding. Most of your advice is useless for what is definitely coming.
We recently installed a reverse osmosis filtration and softener system cost us close to $7k but it’s worth every penny knowing what I’m drinking won’t harm my family.
Yes sir! That's what I commented! You can have all the guns, ammo, food and shit tickets in the world, but it won't do you any good if you go 3 days without water!
Get a manual water pump and 1 "1/4" galvanized pipe , perforated drive tip and drive that pipe down in your cellar floor for nuclear free water while you wait out the fallout. Plus their plan is to poison the public water supply to kill off as many people as they can .
Best way to go is Sawyer mini filters. We’ve had a big Berkey for eight years now and we love it however the filters are extremely expensive compared to Sawyer and there is plans on the web showing how you can turn those little mini filters into something like a Berkey. $20 goes a long ways with those.
If you have room to store it, a few sheets of plywood would be a good thing to have in case a window gets broken out or a door gets kicked in. Not everyone will stockpile food, and when they get hungry, they will get desperate.
“If you can’t feed your family, then you’re very easy to fear and control.” That’s the preamble of politician’s oaths everywhere. And exactly what’s going on today.
Obama wrote a paper on the control of idiots! And everything he’s wrote has come true, Stalin is the one that he wrote about. Then google, Georgia Lode stones, that’s about population control.
How-To books on repair, gardening, canning, identifying plants, detailed maps of your area, etc. If SHTF, your own private library may be the only information available to you. Also playing cards and board games - things to keep you entertained and relieve stress. Man does not live by bread (or bullets) alone.
Plastic bags. They're very versatile and most alternatives aren't great. I prefer a variety: heavy yard bags, a few Ziplocks, etc. They can be used to cover broken windows, shelter, water collection, etc.
I was driving a car way before cell phones were invented. I live in the mountains and it can be cool even in the summertime. My dad used to tell me before I drove anywhere away from home; take enough warm clothes with you. Because you can never tell if your car will break down, and you have to walk, and sleep in the woods. Especially if you are alone and hypothermia starts setting in; by the time you recognize it, it's just about too late. Building a fire is great but a lot of times you don't want to give away your position according to the circumstances. I carry a few steel traps in my bug out bag they hunt for me, while I am sleeping. ** God Bless You All.**
It's not difficult to put a little back each time you go to the store. Need one can of beans or soup? Get two or three. Just stick with things you normally use, stuff that's easy to store and will last awhile, and you'll be good to go.
When/if the economy gets better.... people have to learn to think ahead. It's very difficult to prep in times like these when stores are already out of things and everything is up 10-20% All the good deals go away. Damaged freight, etc. All of my preps would be almost double in price if I bought them today. It's counterintuitive to prep when times are GOOD but that's best
I used this idea for just about every household item over the years. Still have stuff from before the pandemic. It always just seemed like common sense to stock up. I grew up in a house that remembered the great depression.
people always say stuff like that, but it is difficult for those people who are barely scraping by, who have lost their businesses their savings and essentially their lives due to corrupt Democrat bullshit
I am a 67-year-old grandma who has never, ever been drunk. But every year I make a trip to my local liquor store to buy Vodka. I have been making elderberry syrup (ingredients: Dried elderberries, honey, and Vodka) every flu season for the past 15 years. In all that time, my husband and I have not had flu. We kept taking it, every day, right through the COVID pandemic, and didn't get COVID. Don't take any kind of "vaccines," by the way. So, Vodka is important.
Ditto on elderberry recipe. I am 64 and haven't had even a sniffle in over 20 years. No gloves, no hand cleaner and no mask. Took care of 4 with covid. Love it.
Alcohol is merely a poison when you drink it. There are no physical health benefits to orally consuming it. Catching a cold has less to do with what you consume but rather exposure. There are so many parts per million your body can handle. If you have good hygiene and stay away from someone with a stuffy nose or a cough, wash your hands often, and touch as little as possible, that's all you really can do without starting to giving up a normal lifestyle. There is a specific honey that has antibiotic properties, however, regular honey does not boost your immune system in any way. It is simply sugar. Get the medical grade honey(don't eat it) as I've seen it work on infections(open wounds) time and time again. It is not as effective as antibiotics but could prevent the need for them. Cut recovery down by about 25%. You may just have a good immune system or good hygiene habits and that's probably why you don't get sick. If you like drinking your elderberry martini, keep making it. It probably tastes pretty good though I've never had elderberry before. The elderberry healthier without all that pure sugar(honey) and alcohol however, it needs to be enjoyable. Elderberry isn't the end all be all. If you have a good routine diet, you'll get what you need to have a good immune which it already seems you do. The goal isn't to boost the immune system but prepare it for when it's needed. We don't want boosted immune system but just balance in the body. That is when we are a peak health and essentially how God designed us.
A physical library, every house should have an encyclopedia set and books on all the practical subjects to help move society forward after a cataclysmic event. I wasn't to concerned about preparing for such things until I had children, now that I have most of my bases covered I feel that tangible knowledge outside of the fragile electronic realm is extremely important.
A tip I have learned from fuel storage is fairly simple. I store 50gal of fuel. An twice a year (summer/winter) I just throw it in my tank while it's still good and instead of filling up my vehicles I just fill up the cans. That way there's never any extra expenses cause either way I was going to fill up.
This might sound strange, but you might also consider investing in laser eye surgery. It's hard to source contacts and glasses in challenging times, but getting perfect distance vision can last a lifetime and eliminate dependence on vision aids. I got Lasik last year and I LOVE it.
@@applepie1911e There are risks it could go wrong but I had mine back in 2006 and everything has been great. Right after the surgery you have a few months of halos and challenges with night driving that fade away for most folks.
@@applepie1911e eye damage due to infection would be the most likely risk- pay attention to your health and keep eye shields on while healing and you should be set. Short term dryness. All that said, best thing I ever did- don’t tell my wife.
Something I've been thinking about lately is how dependent we've become on "googling it." Take the time to learn certain skills now. When things fall apart it will be a lot more difficult to learn it then. Maybe aquire physical books or manuals to items you depend on.
Comms! Learn/get a Ham or GMRS radio. Communication will be paramount in a SHTF situation. People don’t realize how much they take internet, cell phone, etc service for granted.
When the lunacy finally hit my otherwise generally sane town, and the TP shelves were bare, I bought a bidet attachment for my terlet. It cost something like $35. Not only has it paid for itself several times over, but I have never once had to worry about whether the stores had stock. And let's face it, it's just cleaner.
Lady products!!! One box of tampons in the brand I get has tripled in price and only when I can find them. Stock up for your wives and daughters, all you Warrior Poets. You will be even more of a hero to the ladies of your life. I promise!
Garbage bags, burn barrel, water filter (good for many emergencies), entertainment items like books, solar battery charger, board games, and especially, inspirational items (i.e. Bible, Torah, family photos, etc). Great vid John!
Yes! Finally someone else suggesting board games! Apocalypse downtime is gonna be insanely boring, even a deck of cards is better than nothing at all! Great advice all around, thanks!
Excellent and timely topic...also, recommend planting a garden...fresh veggies are healthy and tasty. Get enough seeds for 3 years and store the seeds in a refrigerator (in case seed supplies inflate or difficult to find). Even if you are in an apartment, put planters wherever you can. Suburbanites, create raised gardens in the backyard, plant fruit trees and hidden fruit (strawberries, raspberries and even watermelon) in your front and back flower beds...also discuss ideas with your County's Master Gardener. If you have land, look to your Ag Extension agents for ideas if you do not have a garden. In six to eight weeks you should be able to start harvesting...enjoy! Consider raising chickens in your backyard. Their eggs beat anything you can purchase at the store!
Definitely a garden! But start practicing now. It can takes years to learn the skill for a fruitful garden. I keep hearing people say I’ll just get some survival seeds but I guarantee you it’s not just planting in the ground and tada you’ve got food.
Be sure and keep seeds in breathable packaging. Seeds are dormant, yet they're still alive and need to breathe. So no plastic, glass, metal, etc. Use paper bags, cardboard boxes left open, etc.
I might be over the top. I bought a Harvest Right freeze dryer. I’m running out of storage room though. Those Mylar bags take up a modest amount of space. I make 2 gallon batches of favorite recipes and freeze dry them. Wife thinks I’m nuts always cooking. I believe that if we have to endure part of the tribulation it would be wise to do this. Only God knows the answer to that. Three kids and their families may need to depend on this food. P.s. I’m terrible at cooking bread from home milled wheat but I can make great edible doorstops.
So what exactly do you need for this? My house is clean and healthy and all I use is a bottle of dishwashing soap a year, vinegar and some ethanol.... Now better get out and stock a ton of chemicals to keep your house "healthy"....
@@peteraugust5295 use whatever you prefer. I use Lysol, bleach, antibacterial soap, dish soap, laundry detergent, etc. If there are women in your household feminine hygiene products are a necessity.
I learned as a child when backpacking that condiments make a big difference when adding them to dehydrated food such as MREs. Spices, hot sauce, soy sauce, salt, seasoning salt, and pepper. Don't forget to periodically ROTATE your food. Be careful where you store them. You don't want rodents to feast on your food supplies in the garage. I live in earthquake country. But having a plastic 55 gal. drum of water with a preservative is a good idea, too.
Hey John, I’m subscribed to the network and would love if your crew could come up with a combat trauma care series. Like what to buy, what you should have in your kit, and go through exercises and scenarios to help us learn combat trauma care. Would love to see it!
For starters, chest seals, tourniquet, gauze, tape, a sharpie for indicating when the tourniquet was applied, maybe some quick clot, maybe some eye wash, an instant cold compress, a 6" ace bandage, duct tape, disposable gloves, more tape and more gauze. (morphine would be nice, but ...) Then check it every year to ensure it is clean, dry and not expired. That reminds me, I have to check mine this month. I think the eye wash expires this year. We take it to the range every trip, just in case someone does something stupid. And we've all see stupid, so its only a matter of time.
Hey John this could be a whole series. Break down each of these bullet points and go into specific products and how long they will last and which products are better than others 👍
When I see a beard, the only thing I can think of is how useful it would be to control the head in a fight. Same as a neck tie. I'm grabbing that thing and we're going to the ground.
Menstrual cup for the ladies. Reusable for 5+ years and can be sanitized between cycles. No need to stockpile tampons/pads that pests can easily get into and destroy and one tiny cup saves tons of storage.
Visit my channel's 4-part series called, "Medical Preps Nobody Thinks Of". I think its either part 3 or 4 where I address women's needs. Valuable info!!
We've been practicing fasting for a few yrs helps with less food consumption, butt wipes or able to clean wash cloth, lastly some Vaseline for chap lips etc
Something I think is VERY important is decent literature and of course, a Bible or three. Hope may be in short supply so having words of encouragement and faith will go a long way to helping others. I know these may not be hard to find (or maybe they will be?) but keeping a small library of solid reading will help inspire and motivate. Also, how-to manuals with basics for how to fix items around the home, etc. I have a whole set of Foxfire books that are all about life in early America. Everything from how to render fat and make candles to butchering a hog. Good stuff to have.
In my LONG-FESTERING (40 YEARS!) geopolitical thriller, one scenario deals with a younger recruit who is given the task of protecting WITH HIS LIFE a heavy, mysterious, locked trailer. He is CONVINCED that it must contain weapons, ammo, etc., but when he finally decides that he must know what is within, he finds that it is filled with KNOWLEDGE: books, microfilm, data discs, flash memory, and the like! We must guard such things with OUR lives, otherwise, we risk people 100 years from now having NO IDEA WE EVER EXISTED! Our history CAN BE erased!
One thing i would add: spare parts for your guns. One gun won't get you anywhere if you loose some stupid detent or a silly spring breaks and you have no other gun or spare parts. A few guns, a solid amount of spare parts and a ton of ammo are the way to go.
Trust me, when it comes time to use those guns. We will all be severely outmatched by the military tech and guys they send in to take them all. Better invest in your spirit through the bible, so you at least have a life to come after this one.
Start with a goal of 3 weeks without going to the store, include a week of stored water. Then add 3 weeks with no power or water. That gets you more prepared than 95% of your neighbors. After that you are ready for the rabbit hole. Sanitation, water filtration, cooking systems and fuel, protection, reference books etc. 2 tips at this stage are to get a vacuum sealer and to not underestimate stomach medications, more important than otc painkillers. You don't need more firearms than your household can weild. Better off with 5 budget, reliable guns with 1000 rounds and 10 mags each, with plentiful cleaning supplies and extra springs than 15 Gucci guns in various calibers with a couple boxes each and the mags they came with.
Something that get overlooked waaaay to often. Everyone should have a solar oven or cooker that you put outside and the heat reflects back from the sun and cooks the food. Sure yes yes I doesn’t work when it’s cloudy, but how much LONGER would your propane last if you cooked 2/3 of your meals with just the sun which is a free resource?
@@338mag while fire places are nice and viable, do you have a large abundance of dried and cut firewood? Do you have the means to cut and chop wood without the fuel to a chain saw or hydronic wood splitter? Having ways to cook food without any fuel sources is very important
I think this list could do with a "utility" category, including things like cooking stoves, things like paracord, tarps, etc. if needed. Gets a little bit into prepper/bushcraft but still very useful items to have on hand.
I’d add on buying the bulk hardware sets from places like Harbor Freight or Home Depot. If you have to start doing larger repairs on your own to save money, it’s nice to have a variety of bolts, nuts, washers, nails, and other hardware on hand.
I'm a buyer for a large chain grocery store for the pet commodity. The four most common reasons why we can't get product on the shelves: - Raw materials needed to be protected for sustainability. (You can't cut down all the trees for toilet paper today because you need trees for toilet paper six months from now.) - Manufacturing centers were shut down and disinfected when *_any_* employee was diagnosed with XXX. (It's routine anyway for norovirus and a few others per health code.) - Not enough people work in the labor pool to keep up production. - Not enough skilled labor doing routine maintenance and QA/Q led to an increase in contaminated goods being recalled. (Currently, Similac.)
Fishing gear. There are fish to be caught. Another simple protein source. Plant food bearing plants around your house. Maybe a supply of seeds and the gardening tools required to grow them. Freezer bags or canning products for storage of your harvest. A vacuum sealer and bags could be handy. Vacuum pack those frozen items to make them last longer. A pellet rifle and supply of pellets for squirrels , birds, and ferrel cats. Recipes to eat your pellet gun bounty.
Get items that last “forever” first. You’ll need them with or without a crisis so the money won’t be wasted and if crisis is delayed the shorter lifespan stuff will have been purchased closer to the crisis. Examples; ammo, propane, toothpaste, deodorant, floss, toilet paper, fuel cans, etc… after having plenty of “forever” lasting stuff, then work your way from longest lasting to shortest lasting. This is coming from someone who prepared in the early 2000s and thousands of dollars were wasted. Buy great stuff that lasts forever, and don’t buy “off brand” just to get more because you likely won’t alternate it out and then it just gets expired. We only store what we actually use, not knockoffs.
You make some very good points. Also people need to remember that expiration dates are just dates. Many times they last much much longer. Usually they start to lose their quality but are still very much edible and nutritious. I have personally eaten canned goods that were more than 40 years old. (Disclaimer: I do not recommend this.) :-)
A change or two for each vehicle of motor oil. Petroleum products go up, and shops may not have your particular weight of oil. Good to keep some on hand, along with filters if you need to do it yourself
Good list. I've been conscious of these for a while, so I'm good except for fuel. I think for long-term, everclear is one of the most versatile things to stockpile; burn for cooking and light, use for disinfecting of surfaces and wounds, barter for other resources, but most importantly, consume as coping juice
Cold weather clothing. Extra hats, gloves, jackets/coats, socks, scarves, etc. When the heat goes out in cold weather climates layers will save your life.
expanding upon the battery stuff would be rechargeable batteries of any kind (cellphone power bank) and a USB solar panel (one that can fit into a backpack) that can store power and be a flash light as well. i know this sounds like bushcraft, but having a solar panel on you will help you in the long run
I live in a flood prone area, and we have had to use our emergency preps a couple of times now while we waited for the roads to clear of water(3 days max). I would say have some candles, good flashlight, matches, and a couple of lighters(they come in handy when the igniter on your butane stove stops working). A dutch oven works on a camp stove too, and you can still make a loaf of bread if you need to.
The Hooshing QCC1 Regulator Valve Propane Refill Adapter that can transfer propane from your larger 20 lb bottles into the small 1 lb bottles for your stoves or heaters … Solar generator ( Jackery ) w/ solar panels to keep your tech items charged .. Great video !!!!
Gardening supplies and tools, gardening books and old (like old 1940 cookbooks that use basic ingredients) hunting/game books that show you how to filet a fish, gut a deer if you do not know . Reach out to those around you that you know (and trust) to create a group dynamic for swapping/bartering. Solar powered battery back up systems help
for the "feel good stuff" Candy. Come long term abstinence from your everyday luxuries, you will be surprised at how powerful these little bits will become. Hard candy or powdered, like sweethearts or sour powders will last longest but mix in some chocolates or softer types.
I bought an extra pair of work boots recently. The local Red Wings store (great to deal with, BTW and also love their boots!) said that they had a tough time getting things because of supply chain issues. Not only are good boots or shoes totally worth it but having two pairs of work boots allows me to swap pairs, letting them totally dry out before I wear them again. This makes the insoles last a lot longer.
Right with you man. I got a long lasting pair of shoes and another set of boots. Mil Surp for boots have been the best value for my dollar. Let the Gov eat the depreciation. Said another way, buy the stuff your taxes already paid for.
I happen to be a Master Class Falconer as well as an avid Fisherman. Both of which come in handy to assist in feeding the family /crew while staying Stealthy quiet. If the SHTF, it won't take long for those going without to want what you have. Being able to feed the crew without making a lot of noise so as to draw attention is key. Additional items you may want to add to your Arsenal, A compound /cross bow and a slingshot with a 500 piece bag of 5/8” Marbles. (Ducks, Quail, Squirrels, Rabbits, Snakes…etc….. Been there, done this. These allow you to hunt without wasting ammo!
Make friends with a ER technician, surgeon, and dentist. Ask them to make a list of supplies they will need. Help them buy the supplies. If you have to turn yourself in to a hospital you will be captured and or chipped/ vacinated .
Condiments are often overlooked. Even just a bunch of salt will go up in value and iodized salt is important for long-term survival. Honey, sugar, vinegar, mustard, and many others have virtually endless shelf life but tons of benefits
A food sealer is a great thing to have to. You can keep meat for 6-12 months with one or possibly longer. Honey is a good natural germ killer for cuts, and when you pull the arrow out. I'm with you on everything. Especially the bike short dignity ratio😂
6-12 mos? Dude I just had a bag of walleye from 2008 and only trimmed off about a penny sized spot of freezerburn. When you vac seal meat, add a couple tbsp water to the bag first and make sure you massage all the air out before you seal it. I've had just as good luck wet packing in non vac seal bags as well but thinner bags are more prone to getting pokes.
Ensure it is raw honey. Store. bought and even some local honey is heated either to pasteurize or make it easier to bottle. Hive to bottle will last indefinitely. It may crystalize...well it will crystalize, but it's good for .... indefinitely.
lots of salt because it can be used for darn near everything and I know from curing my own fish and meats that non-iodized will NOT give your food a metallic taste. That's the only reason I know of to use the non-iodized.
Grow peppers in your garden. Dry the peppers. Trade the dried peppers post wrolpocalypse. Also sugar. All of the sugars. White, molasses, honey, syrup, fruit preserves, etc.
Medical supplies, hygiene products, oil and transmission fluid for various vehicles etc. two cycle oil for your chainsaws and such like items, water if you don’t have a well or a creek nearby
I'm glad to see common salt on your list. I see Preppers talk about everything under the sun EXCEPT salt. Folks forget you can cure meat with salt without giving away your position. It's not like food processing plants all over the country aren't burning down and avian flu isn't killing off chickens by the millions.
Does anyone else remember you can make BLEACH (SODIUM HYPOCHLORITE) by adding a very small direct current (DC power/ie battery) to Salt Water?? EASY. Remember the BLEACH shortage during COVID??
@@ralphday4842 Things would have to be extremely desperate before I would even consider eating my dog. Fortunately I live in an area of the country that is abundant with wildlife, fresh water, and fish. If I ever get that hungry I'll kill some game or catch some fish. Still got some last season venison and trout in the freezer.
Love this video. We’ve been doing this for a while now. Nothing too over the top, just basic food necessities with a far out exp. date, and medical stuff for sure. And not only ammo, but DEF extra mags for everything you’ve got. Gardening and deep freezing is a good thing too if you have some land to do it. And I just went to the local habitat restore and got 30 Duracell lithium double packs of 2032s for .25 cents a pack brand new! I’ll NEVER use them all, thought about giving a few packs to some friends who use those in their red dots and other things. And yes, def liquor. Love the content brother!
500 square feet of lawn turned into a garden is a great start and a way to learn. We are up to about 1,500 square feet now, it feeds two of us for a year and we also give some as tithes and gifts. I want to add 1,000 square feet of wheat, but my wife is not liking the idea YET.
Solar lights from the garden bring inside, myrrh can be used on itches, burns, rashes, pain. Analgesics ointment for toothache can be used on insect bites, burns, and pain.
1. Spandex shorts (because some of us look damn good and have a lot to showcase) 2. Chickens (why not) 3. Duct tape and electrical tape 4. basic first aid stuff (hospitals are having shortages of things already) 5. cigarettes and skoal (but I'm a pulmonary and ICU doctor so don't do that) 6. charcoal and lighter fluid (let's not screw with summer grilling) 7. sunscreen and bug repellent (let's make summer fun) 8. pet food (so they are good and fat when you have to eat them) 9. feminine hygiene stuff (I'm not going there) 10. Chocolate (See #9, satan must be fed or there will be a human sacrifice) 11. Fishing lures (I love to fish and it would piss me off not to have the lure I wanted) 12. condoms (unexpected kids are very expensive)
I would suggest if you see a majority as I do. Ditch the chickens and go Rabbit. All season long you can raise and breed them. chickens take too long to hatch and raise. I used to do 4H with my cousin and we sold rabbits at the fairs like gangbusters.
You've piqued my interest quite a bit, doc. The "socialist food decimal system" is going to be interesting when we need to start moving the decimal to the left for sure. I would need the 'beetus treated during the apocalypse. Could you fix me up?
I looked away for just a second, and when I looked back, BOOM. Buttgig Pete face all over my screen. I let out a little fear scream…but then you talked about guns and I felt better.
Glad John mentioned the antibiotics, I procured a set of "survival antibiotics" through JASE Medical (shout out to Canadian Prepper for the heads up on it); it was expensive but I now have some peace of mind in regards to that matter.
Those are great. However, they are mostly all potency and dated items. They will lose effectiveness overt time, not necessarily that they’ll go bad and totally expire on you, but you will need a plan to rotate them and keep them fresh.
Extra oil and filters for vehicle or equipment, cheap tobacco and vodka for bordering. Solar lights and candles. Vegetable seeds and oil, cooking sessions, baby wipes.
I keep a few extra tires around. Usually when you replace a set, there are a few thousand miles left on one or two that could be remounted and run in a pinch. Anti freeze, Brake fluid and power steering fluid too.
I live up north prepping is a way of life not for disaster but just to live always have enough to survive the winter everything else will fall into place you can survive eight months of winter you can pretty much anything if you don't have winter boots get them now you get winter handled spring summer fall no problem
Don't know if someone already said it, but one thing you didn't mention, is cash. I think it's a good idea to have cash on hand. At least in the beginning of a crisis, cash will still be viable. Also, I believe most people will wait for a crisis to go get cash, which would be a problem. Not enough to go around.
No. If we ever had a severe crisis, cash to your point will be good only to a small degree however ammo, gold and silver will always stand the test of time. Cash would be for burning if you were to get cold. Lol
Cash is a great thing to have, not to excess of course but 1-2,000 dollars can help see you through a short communications outage. People forget Russia often positions submarines over the transatlantic cables to train for severing global communications. This is one of the most likely and devastating short term non kinetic crises considering how many countries effectively run on a cashless system. Severing those cables will hobble and effectively shutdown of a majority of the internet/comms for some time, cash however could still be used while your credit cards and bitcoin will be useless until comms are restored.
MRE’s / Rations have always been our family’s go-to. Back of the car under carriage Incase of a breakdown and some in our storage room at home + a Go Home Bag recommended by John as well! Can’t go wrong with being ready.
Careful with MREs in vehicles. 120deg Middle East heat shortened our UH-60 Blackhawk survival kit to 18th month before they inflated. The other MRE dry items of course are great to keep in trunk, like heat pack, sugar, and matches.
**Magazines for their firearms and you touched in fuel sources but a way to use them. In the category of propane I would say lamps and a small grill. We hunt and camp so we have numerous Coleman type products that save our butts during power outages and winter storms. Have a great day and be safe.
Hats off to you and the editor. Loving the content more and more, and I'm about to go clothes shopping on WPS 😂 prepping and Christian lifestyles have changed what I do and how I do it, I'd like to thank you for helping guide me in the right direction.

@@brandonquaale7509 did you buy a class? Hell brother, I think like minded individuals need to stick together and train in these crazy times. Hmu if you're looking for another fella to train with
One thing in regards to fuel storage: fuel stabilizer works great, especially in cold country. There's a big problem with fuel storage in winter causing water issues. I use seafoam in all my vehicles and it also works as a great stabilizer over winter and all the time for that matter. Trufuel is also very good but a little pricey.
Batteries. Most importantly, rechargeable batteries and a solar charger. Sorry if you mentioned it and I missed it. Allong with food, I think the most important is oil. Veg oil and olive oil. They have many uses and all we need is one bad year for crops, or transport problems and the prices will soar. Also, plastic bags. If your garbage trucks stop coming round or your water stops flowing, you are going to need some way to move your trash.
I’m trying to get my wife fully onboard. I haven’t started prepping but I know that my next Home Depot and Walmart run will be hefty. The food and tools seem most important to me out here in the rural suburbs.
@@navyvet886 You don't have to go overboard. Maybe spend an extra 20 to $30 per shopping trip. That's a good way to start. Try to convince your wife gently that this is for the well being and safety of you both long term.
@@IndelibleHD definitely will. I’m in a newer construction home so our fridges aren’t that big, meaning I’ll have to get a deep freezer now and a generator to ensure all the meat doesn’t go bad. (As far as bad weather).
@@IndelibleHD that’s what’s up. I feel it’s time. Too many red flags and I am not ashamed to admit, I fell victim to not being able to get certain things out the store during the initial kick-off of Covid. It was wild here in Alabama. Tissue was like gold bullets dipped in Hennessy lol
Don't buy more flour than you will use in a year and as you use a bag up buy a new one and rotate. Flour goes bad after a year or so. And no pop top canned food.
Do your best to start at least a small food garden and any livestock like chickens or goats (neither needs a lot of space and produces a lot of different products for you to consume and sell) If you can, dig or pay a company to dig a well so you have water. If not find a spring or source of water you could go to to get water daily. Along with this, get yourself a water filter. Make sure you have a way to get to cook! Have a fire pit or a grill stored away or a camp stove along with some source of fuel like wood gas or charcoal. You need it to stay warm, to cook, and to purify water. I dont see this to be a prepper thing, but its all good to have. When we had that freeze in texas we were super lucky because we have a fireplace so we were able to stay warm and cook stuff. We always keep a couple cases of water around but we also have well water do we were good.
Any type of camping gear, cooking equipment, water storage and basic survival knowledge. I been prepping nonperishable for months knowing when stuff hits the fan, I'm ahead of lots of people. I'm building our homestead with vegetable production, fruit and berry plants/trees and honeybees.
