City Prepping how do we find your email? I think a lot of ppl on your channel, like my self would benefit from a ppe gear decontamination process video.
How can you get multiple uses out of filters? And what type of mask should I get. I'm a father of 6 (5 girls, 1 boy. Ages 5,7,12,13,14,16) on tight budget. Help please!
Where do you live that you think law enforcement "provides protection". And who lied to you and told you they do? Your protection is your responsibility. Hell, the police are the only criminals you will probably ever have to protect yourself from.
John Doe so this is not approved but my plan is as follows. First p100 filters will work or p100 filters with organic. Both of those are the cheapest most effective. Second my theory is the virus can only live so long on a surface so vac seal it let it sit for two weeks or whatever then reuse so just have enough to rotate.
If you live in the UK and can access a Poundland skip you will be amazed at the fully wrapped and clean packets of food chocolate crisps kids clothes gardening stuff they throw out. but be aware go well after closing
People thought I was crazy for slowly buying stuff just in case. Now they are lined up at Costco for water and tp. Everyone that ridiculed me is not welcome to any supplies either.
Same here. I`ve been ridiculed and laughed at and even insulted several times. I started buying what I could afford over a month ago. My sister thinks I`m stupid.
Tom Jones don’t feel bad ! Only because they did the same thing to our lord Jesus . I’m not being insulting !! You are right ! But this is true not even two percent of the people believed what Jesus was telling them and he was laughed at tortured and condemned for telling people truth . And they would not believe him for nothing !! Pennsylvania Michael 🙋♂️
@John Smith dude just get as much as you can or as much as you can afford. the virus has only hit my town a few days ago and it's already growing like crazy. good thing I convinced my family to prepare when the time was right.
I would also recommend getting some hand lotion (or heck, shortening will do in a pinch) because washing our hands as often and as long as we should will make them dry and cracked, and nothing likes an open wound more than a germ.
I’ve had great luck using cold water to wash my hands. They don’t get nearly as dried out. It’s the soap that’s important, not the heat. If the water was hot enough to kill germs, it would also kill your cells. Heat for non-porous surfaces, not so much for skin.
Hurting hands will appreciate coating with lard or butter and then cover with gloves for about 5 minutes or melted wax till it dries … the relief is wonderful !!!
A good alternative is coconut oil; even if you are buying the unrefined in BIG jars, it's about the same price, AND you can cook with it, eat it, moisturize, "oil pulling" for oral health, lubrication etc.
I buy the flavor packages like lemon pepper, jerk etc for rice. You're right, variety is needed. Also, canned chicken and mixed veggies for rice. Stay safe
Mc Cormick Grill Mates meat spices & marinades make great seasoning additions to soups, chilli, casseroles and rice dishes. You can use the Grill Mates for meatless dishes too, and I just use a generous sprinkle or two. They cost about $1.00 - $2.00 depending on where you buy them. I've tossed cauliflower & carrot pieces with a little Mesiqute seasoning and a tad of olive oil in a zip lock bag, then spread on a baking pan then broil @ about 375 - 400 f. until slightly browned, makes a great snack or side dish. Making fried cubed potatoes, chopped onion and (with or without) a sliced jalapeno with a little Mesiqute & Smokehouse Maple Grill Mate Spices is delicious.
I’m Carribean, try looking up some Haitian or Jamaican rice and beans/peas recipes, they’re really tasty. Most will require some extra ingredients like coconut milk, some spices but it’s sooo good.
xoscha1983 yup! I reupped in bulk from BJs a few weeks ago (as part of my normal supply, the Coronavirus became widespread afterwards). I do have 2 menstrual cups in my bug out bag. Worse case scenario those are reusable and hygienic.
If I may, another suggestion that keep getting ignored is: clean your cellphone. You can wash your hands as much as you want, but if you touch that filthy, greasy piece of wonderful technology which no one ever give it a good scrub... All this precaution will be in vain.
I do mine all the time, that way I can always see things clearly - books, photos, video chats what have you. Here in Thailand I have seen people who haven't wiped their phones ever and you can hardly see anything on it. Again good advice. Good luck and may this, what ever it is, end quickly and not be a pandemic.
Do you use the self-service at the shops? How about signing for stuff you get delivered, how often do those stylus' get cleaned you think? I got a few stylus for myself and family, thought that could be a vector.

Thanks Chris! I’m watching this 18 months after release mostly for nostalgia, to reminisce about life in the before times. We had 6 months of supplies BC (before covid) but we are working our way to 1 year. Imagine if I had told you back in Mar ‘20 that there would still be empty store shelves 18 months later. That seemed hard to believe back then. Oh how times have changed.
I never eat canned food, but bought a bunch anyhow. I figure if everything passes without needing the canned food, then I'll make a huge donation to the local food bank. WIN WIN
@@tintintb1980 BB dates are usually at least a year in the future for canned goods, with many being 2 years. I doubt if most here would survive two years of SHTF, unless you have a rather large community of trusted associates.
My family lives on a farm and for the past 2 years I’ve been begging my carpenter boyfriend to build a chicken coop. I want to homestead all kinds of animals to be able to be self sustaining 100%. Now this shit happens and he agrees with me that we should of started chickens last year 🙄🙄
Just go ahead and build it yourself. Maybe if he sees you building it he will help. Either way it gets built. There are plenty of videos on how to build chicken coops.
My son and I both work in the medical field in Southern California, he works in the ED department and they have had several people come in that say they may have been in an area that has cases but unless that area was China, Italy, Iran, Japan or South Korea they are still not being tested. This leads me to believe that it is in the wild and once they start testing the cases are going to skyrocket.
My husband diagnosed with community acquired pneumonia and tested negative for the flu. ER doctor told him he could have covid 19 but would have to pay for the test. We don’t have the money for that so no test. This was last night! Despite the news telling everyone that copays will be waived if testing needed. Guess the hospital ER is too busy to keep up to date. We are south of Houston
Geoffrey A make sure they are heritage seeds so you can save some of the seeds after harvesting and plant them next year and the year after that. Keep them in a cool dark place. Read up on this.
I never believed in the prepping. I never judged people who did it tho. I can see why they do. The feeling you have knowing that your ready is a good one. I'd like to thank you Mr. Prepping fella lol. You changed my views an I greatly appreciate you for that 🤝🙏🙏 stay safe friend
I went hungry years ago after losing my job and my truck. I was trapped in the city limits of a small town with nothing. A memory like that will quickly turn you into a prepper. Hunger and desperation is horrible!
People are especially passionate about not starving to death. Knowing the precariousness of the just in time food delivery system makes ya wonder how you'll feed yourself when the stores run dry. It's a peace of mind thing. Easier to sleep at night the more meals you already have on standby.
@@jeffborders5526 couldn't of said it any better. I have 2 little girls man an I will starve but I could never watch them starve.( Trust me I got enough so none of us starve) was just a saying lol. So food insurance is definitely a necessity in my eyes now. I will only grow from here with it
Wanda Pease yes! I have 2 menstrual cups in my bug out bag. I did get regular supplies in bulk from BJs a while back, but if push comes to shove I’ll learn how to use the menstrual cups.
neotericisis They have a learning curve. Try to use them now. I found I had to turn my diva cup inside out for comfort, for instance, that shape was better for me. If you don’t put them in properly, they leak. Try the cup out a couple of day of each cycle, at a time that is convenient if you need to clean up a leaky mess. You don’t want to be stressed and down to the wire and fumbling with these and making a mess everywhere while trying to cope. They are helpful once you get the hang of them, anyways. I found that I could not use them without a liner on days 1-2, but after that I was all good.
I switched to washable pads four years ago. I have everything that I need. Also, my daughter uses washable pads as well. I am thankful to not be rushing out to buy supplies.
Preparedness never even crossed my mind, until we had a reservoir water main break in 2018. When the mayor asked us all to conserve water because there was only a two day supply for the community, I freaked tf out. It got fixed before we ran out, but a switch had been permanently flipped in my brain. What was it gonna be next time: the electric company, the grocery store, the hospital? I never even thought about just how dependent I was on the system until that moment. Its been a slow but steady process, and I am determined to be able to take care of my family no matter what happens.
I agree. Preppers have gotten bad reps, but as a parent I can’t imagine not having at least some resources. My husband always has a “go with the flow” kinda mindset, whereas I need a plan. A part of me feels like he’s so lax because he knows I’ve got it handled. Its frustrating.
As freelance web developer and programmer, I am well prepared to work from home. I can work remotely and find clients online without needing to go outside. I think the economic impact may be the biggest problem for people living paycheck to paycheck.
If don't have the money to go to Costco's, BJ's, Sam's club think on a smaller scale. Go to dollar Tree some dollar Tree still have paper towels and toilet paper, bleach. Or if you have a staples, possibly office max some do sell paper towels and toilet paper. Or Walgreen , CVS they have their version of paper towels and toilet paper. It's all about thinking outside of the box.
There’s nothing wrong with dollar tree it’s a great place to get all sorts of stuff and best of all they usually have loads of stuff left cos everyone goes to the big places 1st!
What is up with you people and toilet paper? A psychologist just wrote an article about people buying up and hoarding so much toiler paper. He basically says people are panicked by the hype. They think it's worse than it actually is. They can accept that just washing your hands is enough for the threat that their over panicked selfs believe it to be. So they think they have to do something more. They see, or hear, about others buying up loads of toilet paper. Not knowing what else to do, but feeling they need to do something more, seeing what others are doing they follow the herd and join in with the toilet paper buying. It's just crazy, people.
Christina C prepping us about slowly buying supplies. Anyone can buy a couple of can goods a week to store up. That’s about $2 for two on sale. In a year you will have over 100 can goods!! Buy extra paper supplies to put into a big bod or under your bed. Cough drops and syrup, Tylenol type of pills fir a fever or pain can be off brands. Juice bottles from the store when empty can be washed and filled with water for stored water. Lots you can do, just think about it and watch RU-vid videos. The information is right there.
Everyone laughed when I began stockpiling back in February- "don't you know that the risk is low in Canada?" Yeah, well the risk was low in Italy, Spain, Iran, France, the US... until it wasn't. Nobody is laughing at me now lmao
Stock market is in a panic. Praying for our future. Praying for all my fellow Americans to stay healthy or at least stay mild cases We are headed into serious times ❤️🙏🏻
There is nothing new about stock market panics - just about anything that might threaten their speculative gains can set them off. The latest governmental estimates is that the world IG may slow to around 1.5% and the US DGP may slow a bit to around 1%.
You really can't prepare for a horrific virus only stay healthy. Use lysol around your home and protect your body. Keep clean areas clean. Easy foods and if you can get a generator. Don't stress yourself out.
Good advice, that is what i am doing. Drink plenty of liquids, take Vitamin C or Centrum, I put a clove of garlic in one of my meals every day to help boost my immune system. Practice preventive medicine is the best way to stay healthy.
This dude is super smart. I have to update my survival kit bag but it still had masks and hand sanitizer, was so happy. I was semi prepared but i'm going to step it up.
Jessica Barron it depends on temperature of where it’s stored. I would say if it’s kept in a temperature rage of 70-75F with low humidity; over a year. If stored in a deep freeze, indefinitely. Maybe? I’ve never keep rice longer than a year cause our family eats quite a bit of rice. Hope this answers your question.
Get yourself a food saver vacuum sealer machine, they don't cost that much, I put all my rice, flour you name it into vacuum packs then I freeze them, then store them.
this is a VERY good video to share with your family members that thinks this isn't serious to prepare when in real life we NEVER know what can happen or WHEN or HOW to ALWAYS be prepared for ANYTHING.
If you panic, you've lost already. I'm way over 65, I have been staying in a lot. I also have a small amount of canned food put away, because of my age I don't need a huge amount. I usually work from home but for the next 2 weeks I have to be in Denver, non negotiationable. I may just show up with mask and gloves (if I had a hazmat suit I would wear that too). Maybe I can intimidate them enough to excuse me from the conference. What do you think? 😂
@St. Petersberg u are stupid as hell, he was talking about prepping with, cans, dried food, toilet papper, bateries, and other shit, u can buy this kind of things and they last for years i have perfect working bateries from a few years ago.. and a lot of other things
@St. Petersberg Those of us who have been prepping over the course of years are not the ones out there trying and succeeding in emptying the stores of masks and sanitizers. In reality, we are the ones sitting back and relaxing BECAUSE we already have those stocked up from a few years ago. My masks were from 2001 and my hand sanitizer is hand made from the supplies (alcohol etc.) that I had on hand before all this came down. So, to answer your questions - it is not the preppers who are doing this. It is the people who wait until s**t happens that are the problem.
@St. Petersberg No - preppers are those who prepare before s**t happens!! Then, when s**t happens, preppers don't have to panic or go crazy when stocks are low. So, with that in mind, not sure where you are or how things with COVID-19 are there, you better get yourself prepared!
@st. petersburg, if Richard is prepared enough to relax he prepped a long time ago- when the shelves were full and the average Joe had tons of supplies readily available. He is not selfish at all. Those who didn’t prep and are taking up an overwhelming amount of low resources NOW are the problem. Don’t hate because he had a good supply set up BEFORE there was a problem.
As schools Are closing all over the world. Single parents like me age freaking out. I’m sitting here listening to this guy tell me what I need. And I can’t afford the basics to get by for the month let alone stocking up for 3-4 weeks. All the medicine I need if in a mandatory self isolated quarantine food in bulk . Suits etc I just started bawling saying I can’t afford this . As it is I borrowed money from my family because everyone in Canada gets child tax March. 20th and all the schools in my province are closing that day . All of our stores are out of everything . Canned goods , toilet paper , rice , water etc etc and it JUST hit our province . If I get through this I swear I will never ever put myself and my daughter who is in grace one at the moment in this situation EVER again....
I am a single mom too and understand your worry. I am doing my best not to give in to my fears as well. Waiting anxiously for friday when I finally have money, my cupboards are empty so I cant really do much more than buy the usual, my fear is telling me the stores will be empty by then even though I know this is irrational. I pray for you and everyone struggling due to this virus.
The way the world is today I've been preparing for a while now. I got food water medicine and also seeds for fruit and vegetables . I also have many candles and battery operated led lights. I do need to get generator but my budget is not that good, for now I got to do with what I have.
My entire church shut down worldwide, and my work at a surgery center just closed for two weeks... thank you for getting me prepared for this stuff for the past few years
I'm more concerned about the financial aspect, take precaution against the virus though. One thing and best way to look at prepping is Better to have it and not need it, Than need it and not have it.
Yep some of us who didn't even have much money to prep, built up a collection over time. Now who's saying that we were crazy?! We were just sensible enough to know, whereas the other morons were too busy trusting their Governments.
Did the vast majority of my prepping two weeks ago, and I felt like I was behind the curve back then. Compared to the people fighting over TP now, I was slightly ahead of the game. But only slightly.
I feel validated now. I have been prepping for 5 years now, and my sister and my mom told me they thought I was crazy (I have a mental illness ), but now they understand why I did the things I did (especially after seeing store shelves empty). It feels good to know that my prepping wasn't in vain.
Yeah, well, the only people I am truly jealous of as the preppers. Especially the ones that have been doing it for years. I tried, but I was always alone in the process. You know, life! However, I started 2 months ago, and realized I would just have to have the basics. And hope for the best. In spite of the basic I have, I feel great about it. I have my to go bag bugout for travel, my camp gear at 100% my in home stay in bugout box that will go in tandem with camping gear it can toggle between the two. I have been storing at least 4 gallons water daily, meds all up to date n have all needed. Lots of canned food n dry. Etc. And this is just basic. I am exhausted from planning,checking, organizing n buying n trying so hard to have that curve. The physical n mental capacity for this is for the battle ready. Oh yes, have weapons too. N I do not have that kind of money. But, where there's a will there's a way. It just got real. Survivor.
A lot of us are in similar positions; we have known about this, but did not prep for a SPECIFIC thing. We may have guns + ammo and other things, and it is true those can be a more costly thing to buy right now...so that's a silver lining to now have to drop hundreds of dollars and/or do the paperwork depending on your state. I would suggest putting on some good meditation music and "meditating" in your own way, without any distractions or electronics for at least 10-15 minutes a day. It can do a wonder for your mental health, and help you make better decisions with your limited time and money. Take care and God bless you and yours!!
I eat keto, so my reserves have to be quite different. My reserves require a chest freezer, but my electricity comes from hydro, no supply chain problems are going to disrupt that. For keto, my supplies currently are: 180 eggs, ~60 pounds of chicken, 20 pounds ground beef, 20 pounds of pork, 20 pounds of cheese, 10 pounds of onions (that's lower than it should be), 10 pounds of frozen spinach, a couple gallons of olive oil, many pounds of butter, loads of garlic, pepper, salt and sundry spices, and perhaps most importantly, eight jars of instant coffee.
I needed to go keto but worry about power outage, because there always is one once a month for 2 to 6 hours. I don't have a deep freeze since I live in an apartment. Sounds like your well prepared on the food, wish I was. Best wishes.
To be honest with you, I'm Italian and I'm getting fat in this period because is all close, gym, cinema, everything and I spending my time eating and watching videos.
Welcome to the American lifestyle my friend! Dont stress over it too much, especially for the uncertain days ahead. Who knows when that extra fat will come in handy? 🤷♀️
I cannot tell you how satisfying it is to know that I am not driving all over going to multiple stores for TP, soap, hand sanitizer, food, rice, beans, wipes, etc., etc.! Back when I started prepping in 2011-2012, people told me I was wearing my tin-foil hat too tight! Who's not worried now?? I am able to take care of my family quite comfortably and we are not wanting for anything. And all it took was a little here and there...and extra pack of TP or paper towels when we made a Costco run, a little sweat and hard work to can and put up the contents of our garden for the next year...but I have the satisfaction of knowing my food is not GMO, it isn't filled with pesticides - it's heirloom, healthy, and really tasty, and I can have a clean behind!!!! We didn't really need to go to the store for more than a gallon of milk and some ice cream and that's just because I didn't want to make it! Our chickens provide great eggs, and my freezer is full of meat! Living in the country on our little 15 acre farm and providing for my family has never been more important to me than it is at this moment! I also have the amazing luxury of being surrounded on all sides with farms of like minded neighbors! I tried to share my canning and medical knowledge by making videos many years ago on my YT channel, but back then, it seemed as though only a few thousand were interested...wonder how interested people would be now??? Stay safe...Keep Your Powder Dry!
I went shopping Friday, in my location here in NH. Same deal, shelves void of the things I was looking for. Had to get creative and find options. I was in 3 different stores, including wallyworld.
@@davem5308 Check you feed mills; lots of bags of whole grains to process yourself. You can use these to make dog and cat food after this passes. You can use your coffee grinder to take the grains and turn into flour. You can also sprout some of these grains; check which ones are safe to sprout . Look for free bananas that were dead rip and going to be thrown away and make mason jar banana bread. Spices cheap at dollar store. They last past 2 years and are delicious. I make spice breads which are sweet cakes for the hot days of summer for a desert. Just open and serve. You can make angel food cake, spice cake, even cookies use powdered sugar between the cookies to reduce sticking together. It is nice to have these sweets when it is over a hundred degrees and baking isn't an option.
The red bottle of "HEET" gas line antifreeze is actually just isopropyl alcohol.... Alcohol may be sold out in the pharmacy section but go over to the automotive section and pick up some red bottle heet. Just be sure to check contents to make sure there's nothing else in the bottle but I'm pretty sure it's 100% ISO alcohol.
I don`t have much money but I`ve been getting extra storable food since this started in January. I have a bunch of different types of beans and 40 pounds combined of both white and brown rice. Plus I got oatmeal, pasta and sauce and even cream of wheat along with about $60.00 worth of frozen vegetables and lots of canned soups and ravioli. I ordered the cheap Amazon Basics AA batteries in case I need them for lights and my collection of AM/FM/Shortwave radios. I can always catch fish in the creek here too. If it starts looking really bad soon I`ve saved $200.00 to get more food before the panic begins. I`m worried sick about my sister who is 70 years old and works at the hospital. She has diabetes and kidney disease. I`m terrified for her. Worried sick!
Once you have filtered the water through your Sawyer, you can treat it with a small amount of bleach to kill viruses. Doesn't take much, depends on the % of your bleach. Usually 8 drops per gallon of clear water.
Thank you! I came across one of your videos and because I’m 66 with MS and in a wheelchair I took my daughter and we went to the store. I bought what you had on your list and it was simple! We have enough rise, beans, canned meats, canned veggies, and on thru the list. Barilla pasta was on sale and so was soups and stuff I can eat in a cup if I get sick. What I can’t do is get more than one month of some of my meds. They just don’t get it! Anyway I’ve stocked up on a lot of stuff. Since we live in the Phoenix Arizona area we can get mail order drugs and have groceries delivered to the house. Thank you for the assistance and well thought out ideas.
The pharmacy didn`t have several of my meds Thursday and I don`t know why. I`m hoping I can get them Monday but someone will have to help me. I can`t drive and live far away from town. I have so much trouble getting all of my 10 prescriptions.

Best advice you gave -'Don't Panic' - keep calm and make a list of what you need and than slowly buy it. At the end of a month you can have a weeks worth of supplies saved, at the end of 4 months, a month of supplies saved up and by years end, 3 months of supplies saved up. Keep calm and don't tell anyone what you are doing or they will come to your house asking for food, water, medicine what have you. Thank you for a great video, start now and you will have 3 months of supplies saved up for any emergency - natural or man made. Keep making these videos, they are quite good.
Thinking about that in the US you can't use the tap water in many cities just turns my stomach in this situation. The government has to care for the people and for the safety of the environment. Looking at it from Europe i just feel compassion.
If you are not ready mentally, physically and gear wise already you are FUBARed already. The learning curve is more than you will be able to handle mentally alone.

@@nana2five790 , greetings from the state of Kentucky! You didn't ask for my opinion but I'll give it I'm a registered nurse at 33 years. Since you have a nebulizer remember to get your atrovent and albuterol and also make sure that you get a steroid inhaler that you can get not actually an inhaler but the steroids that go into your nebulizer and make sure that you're very cautious about that. Make sure that you get methyl prednisone in like one of the little steroid packs that you take a lot and then it decreases that thing. Take that make sure that you have plenty of that stuff and I think if you do those things And you've got the steroids you need and the inhalers and the oxygen for emergency I think you will do fine don't forget when you have a condition like yours everything is going to tighten up you don't want that virus to get in there and then tighten up because it won't let it back out so avoid large crowds like a church ball games just for a few more weeks until you see what's going on. Now I want to be clear about one thing with my post to you I am not a doctor I'm only a registered nurse I cannot give medical advice so for legal reasons I will say you need to check all these things with your doctor! But I believe if you're very Vigilant I think you're going to do fine through this use your head ask Jesus to direct your path and I think that you'll be okay most of the stuff is going to hit within the next month and I don't know why but again Make sure that you have everything ready and Reserve so you can stay at home and care for yourself! I just want to say God bless you happiness and help to you and your family and is always greetings from the state of Kentucky keep going you're going to make it!
I just don't worry so much. I'm thankful for a healthy head of hair at 60. This will pass........still always on yellow alert until it changes. Thanks for the info & your time sir.
I also don't want things to go SHTF but the only way to survive SHTF is to have a solid community. It's just basic logic. Selco Begovic has great wisdom from his experience surviving the Balkan Wars.
I started slowly prepping back when the 2012 Aztec calendar ending was in the news. I knew it was a non event but I also knew "humans" would be the problem to prep for. I dont prep for disasters for the most part....I prep to avoid stupid mobs of people. Mobs....especially desperate mobs....are the biggest threat to you during an emergency. In my opinion of course.
Yes! I saw 1 woman behave rather bitchy, competitively anxious, with animalistic aggressive undertones in grocery store today towards me over frozen potatoes! She wasn't starving, there was no shortage, but I saw it plain as day and it was real hostile. Imagine shtf levels of that. Yikes So, my goal is to stay the hell away from high traffic shopping hours and stay off the roads. Ppl be acting crazy!
Due to Covid-19 I started focusing on prepping other items in a grab and go sense. My grab and go box of typical electronic items I would need (cables, car charger, battery, solar, ECT.) Those items are back up and I don't use it. I have grab and go box with toiletry items to get me by for a week. Grab and go box for ammo. Grab and go tool box. All of my items outside of a safe such as old cellphones, chargers, goalzero batteries, lights are labeled and stay inside of multiple cloth bags. Along with location of inventory on a Google doc.
I’m a Respiratory Therapist and myself along with a lot of my co-workers are not safe to do our job when there’s a mask shortage. What that means is basically our life’s are in danger without PPE and if there is sick staff, we cannot take care of our community. Not having PPE is critical for us, please leave our PPE alone. To shed some light, myself and my coworkers work at Trauma centers within Orange County and LA. Also, firs responders along with military and police need our masks.
@@sofiaruby603 gather your own supplies, gloves, masks, a bar of soap. A little money can be saved for a even soap that is really cheap and will kill a virus. Even if it's something small, when it comes down to it, you'll be thankful you had something which could be the difference between catching whatever virus is going around or not. Don't share with you're family nor let them know. Wish you the best of luck
BTW, 2 things about water, from my personal experience: 1. As a T2D, we tend to get quite thirsty, if we’re not taking medication so, if there’s a medication shortage, we might need more water, unless, we’re able to upgrade our diets and lessen dependency on medication. 2. Personally, I’ve experienced a situation where I thought I was fatigued. But, in actuality, I wasn’t fatigued. I was dehydrated. Once I rehydrated, I was no longer fatigued.
Germany here, we will go next week probably. Italy is about 2 Weeks ahead of us in terms of spread. Good thing I am not in the US though, because our healthcare is free and we dont need guns that much.
@@simongroneberg6623 I dont expect it to fail. Might stutter a bit for some weeks, but will go back to normal as soon as the first wave is over. I guess we will do better than china.
@Trunk McEight Since when is the austrian gouvernment socialist? Last time i looked Kurz was Kanzler.Sebastian Kurz is one of the last people that come to my mind when i think of socialists.
FYI, Bulk purchase conversion to help you calculate: 25# of jasmine rice is 54 cups. 25# of AP flour is 70 cups. I empty the bags and put into plastic buckets, with screw on/off lids. I scoop into pantry containers from the buckets. Been doing it for years. Go to Lowes, or amazon 'Gamma Seal' lids for 5 gallon buckets.
he has forgotten to pack beer. little known fact, in the uk beer is classified as a food not a drink. this is because you can live off just beer for a short time. and strong beer lasts a long time strong hoppy beer ive got a 4 year old 16% beer
Nice video. My friends and coworkers call me the crazy coupon lady. I'm not so crazy now. I dont have a whole basement full of items but I have a decent amount of things that dont expire and that I use.Toilet paper, paper towels, paper plates, trash bags , hand soap, razors, cereal (that shit lasts forever,) pasta , household cleaners (sprays, wipes etc) toothpaste,toothbrushes,deodorant, baby wipes, feminine hygiene, shampoo, and lots of other stuff I paid a fraction of the price for. My boyfriend has the zombie apocalypse items covered. Lotsa guns, lotsa ammo. People laughed at me for couponing. Now they wish they had learned from me. Not only are these items good in this case but they have helped me immensely in the last 3 weeks. I broke my ankle and have been homebound.
Also I have a basic first aid kit but I’m an experienced retired surgical nurse so I also have suture kits and iodine . Get a tire kit for flats. And barter-able products. Liquor is a good one. Lol. And yes we’re armed.! We’re not as prepared as you but we’re in a rural area and stocked for about 3 months.
Good video. My grandparents had a Berkey Water purifier for over 30 years. Used the same filter elements for that time and was excellent for them. My grandfather convinced me to buy one "Just in case." - He was right.
DUDE 100% Medical advice in UK is anti inflammatory medicine such as Ibuprofen can worsen effects of Corona-virus. Paracetamol is best to reduce symptoms of fever.
You have ibuprofen sitting on your table, and they said that’s the worst for covid-19, Tylenol only people, please look it up, ibuprofen and Advil can make it worse
Here in western Washington state at least, if you were not prepared before COVID-19, you likely will have a difficult time getting prepared. Limits on all cold and flu OTCs; no hand sanitizer, isopropyl alcohol available and limits on those if you can find them. TP/paper products going fast if available; water available some places but...; rice and beans (dried/canned) are in short supply in the stores I have been to. This is just a VERY short list. I have made my own hand sanitizer as I had 91% alcohol, aloe vera, hydrogen peroxide on hand. I also have well stocked cupboards and a water filtration system. I am concerned about this virus but not worried about being able to stay away from crowds. One thing that I will say about food storage, however: have some long term products (freeze dried and dehydrated) on hand BUT, store what you eat and eat what you store. When I started prepping several years ago, I made a menu plan for a week - went grocery shopping and got enough of the non-perishables to last for two weeks (then all I needed during the second week was the perishables). Then I made another week plan to add to this, went shopping and purchased enough for two weeks again. After about 3 months, I had 6 months of food in the cupboard of things I routinely eat. Now when I go to the grocery store, it is primarily for perishable foods on a weekly basis. If I eat a can of beans (for example) from my cupboard, I put that on the grocery list. I continually restock what I have used and keep all these things rotated to insure nothing is going to extend much if any past the best by dates.
On the local website and chat sites I been reading alot of complaints of people hoarding. Remember the Aesop's parable of the ant and grasshopper? People who prepare for disasters (man made or otherwise) is what reasonable people should do in times of plenty. That is not hoarding, it's common sense. What should be illegal is Profiteering. Those are people who buy more than they need to sell at a profit. Those people should be fined or put in prison. To those people complaining about how unprepared they are for this current crisis, they have no one to blame but themselves, bad luck or misfortune. I sympathize with those with bad luck or misfortune, but those individuals who thought it would always be summer and winter would never come, you only have yourselves to blame.
@Christian That is not totally true. The various flues we normally have kill a very small fraction of the population - usually around 0.01% in the US - with the elderly and infants being most affected, especially if they have certain pre-existing conditions. This virus, which is not a flue virus, but the 7th known corona virus, is unique. Two of the corona viruses apparently no longer exist and the other four have rather mild symptoms. This virus does not seem to affect youngsters significantly, if at all. But it is much more virulent to the elderly with pre-existing conditions than all the other viruses, both flue and corona.
Stock up now on canned foods and water. I had a hard time finding alcohol and wipes. I didnt find any hand sanitizer anywhere but i was able to get an extra bottle of bleach. Im concerned about baby formula and baby food becoming scarce for parents with small children. I also saw water shortages in a couple stores. People were calm but were aggresively stocking up.
Don’t worry folks, I live in a European country where it’s a lockdown. There is no shortage of food, electricity, medicine or toilet paper. Everything is running fine. It’s only a little boring, but we got Netflix 👍😷😂
@@2006Mercury well my country Portugal is almost on quarentine, but we already know that when all non essential factorys get closed the government is gonna pay us the salary anyway so it's OK, the problem is when the virus go away crisis is gonna come for sure
@@Bobisworld easy, my country Portugal depends a lot of tourism, and yesterday the government closed borders and tomorrow we probably go to emergency state and obrigatory quarentine with the military in the streets, all non essential factorys are gonna be closed so u can imagine the costs of that and the big slice go to people because the government decreted that people That go home to take care of kids get paid 66% of their salary, people on quarentine (most of us) get paid 60 or 70 % of their salary and people infected get paid 50 or 60 % of their salary, so imagine the costs I'm not sure but is like 200 to 400 millions euros every weak with the country not producing nothing just bills and more bills but it's OK the important is that everyone stay home and have money for food
ike ike oh I see what you mean now. I’m so sorry. There will be so many repercussions from this and you’re right that will be one of them. How are you doing personally?
@@Bobisworld yeah, I'm optimistic because my government is making preventive measures before its too late like Italy and spain, we have almost 500 infected and only 1 death by now but it's increasing by 35, 40 % every day know, personally me and my family are doing fine we have food for 2 months and I'm still working (not a big issue because I work at night in a factory with not a lot of people) and if emergency state is declared tomorrow they gonna close and I'm already preparing for a forced vacations, buying games, downloading movies and series to entertaining eheh, I'm just worried about older people they vulnerable I'm young so it's OK, stay safe
Quick question, do you agree or disagree with me that instead of money, to stock up on things that can be traded? During an economical collapse I dont believe money will be of much value..
I have 12v solar gear for camping. I have a 250w 12v solar panel that charges a large deep cycle battery. Can run a 12v fridge like a waeco or engle and lighting. Can even clip an inverter to it and run 240v stuff. A decent deep cycle battery lasts for years. (Im In Australia)
