Please don’t take this the wrong way. You are the first Black prepper I have seen on RU-vid. I am a 57 year old Black woman who is a prepper too. I am subbing you today. It’s my honor and privilege.
You've come a long way from when you first started on YT, Mr. Kaigler. It has been an Honor & a Privilege to follow your journey. Thanks for all you've done (& continue to do)! "The Future Belongs to Those Who Prepare for it Today..."
Been stocking up on those coin size cloths that expand when you add water. Soap, just been buying cheap bars of soap, stocking up on those, ammo, food and ability to clean my own water. Good luck everyone.
If SHTF happens gun laws won't matter from state to state. I live in the country and if you don't have RIFLES you will never get close enough to use a pistol. I'm a veteran and retired LE and a pistol should be your last defense weapon.
Military, Leo, and citizens have different needs. Even a police officer's primary is a pistol. You have never pulled over a speeder with your rifle slung over your shoulder.
If you have a homestead deep in the country, a rifle probably is #1. But you can almost always have a pistol on your hip. You don't always have a rifle on your person, do you? I kinda doubt it.
@@lemniscatelogos7917an AR pistol/SBR would be great for an urban environment.small enough for CQB and still have enough firepower to reach out to a good distance too
One important thing to REMEMBER is to prepare for INFANTS and TODDLERS. It's very very important as EVERYONE knows that an UNCOMFORTABLE child is EVERYBODY'S problem lol. You should have diapers, formula as well as TEETHING jell and other child oriented medicines. Yes, weapons n ammo but if you're an AR guy, you should have at least a replacement BOLT for your rifle. Also, other necessities at least for me are any daily medications, water purification of some type, a level 3 soft best (pistol rated), a few GOOD flashlights and if possible, some type of GENERATOR or at least POWER bank with extra batteries. Keep up the great work DEMCAD And I continue to enjoy your videos!
A note about batteries: Duracell batteries are CORROSION BOMBS! Energizers have a "power seal" that will keep the acid from leaking out for 2 years after they die. I've destroyed several expensive flashlights with Duracell batteries. I can also say I found an old Energizer C-cell battery that had been dead for years - - and sure enough, the acid leakage was contained in what looked like a plastic film. That flashlight didn't get destroyed.
Awesome video! I'm just gonna list a few reasons why I LOVE shotguns. 1. Firepower The amount of energy you can dump in a single trigger pull is impossible to beat. 2. Versatility You can accurately hit a target at 100yards with a slug, you can use buckshot and take any medium to large game, you can use birdshot and take any small game or flying game. 3. Reloading Reloading shotshells is much easier and safer compared to reloading rifle or pistol ammo. You can literally use garbage homemade black powder and toilet paper as a wad and use whatever pellets, nuts, bolts, balls etc... 4. CHEAP!!! A Mossberg Maverick 88 costs around $240 for the Security model with 7+1 magazine capacity. You literally can't fond a pistol or rifle for that price and get the same amount of firepower or reliability. 5. Versatily again. You're not just limited to 12ga or 20ga. There is 10ga, 12ga, 16ga, 20ga, 24ga, 28ga, 32ga, and .410. There are others, but these are the most common. A reason to go with a smaller gauge shotgun is because you dont need as much powder or as much shot so its very economical and still can get the job done. A lot of people underestimate the tiny .410 but you can load a 3" buckshot round that has 4x .34cal lead (buckshot) balls. 6. Simplicity The most simple firearm other than a muzzleloader is a single shot shotgun. You can literally buy a brand new single shot shotgun for $80 right now. There's no reason to not have atleast 1, if not 1 in every caliber. Cons. 1. Weight Shotguns arent very light compared to some of the modern rifles, and especially handguns. And the ammo is very bulky so you can't carry as much on you, so I view the shotgun as a defensive/survival tool, which is mostly what you sill be doing. 2. Over penetration. Most factory buckshot loads come in 00buck, or (.32cal). I personally load my own and have tested many loads and honestly #4buck is the way to go. A 3" magnum shell holds 41 pellets of #4buck, or (.24cal). Absolutely DEVASTATING!!! 3. You can't miss (misconception) A shotgun isn't like video games. You still have to actually aim. Most shotguns will only spread about an inch per yard. Most houses have hallways that are no longer than 10yards, so your pellet spread will be approx 10inches. Demolition ranch actually tested this and even eoth a tiny 8inch barrel the spread was almost the same as a 28inch barrel. Pretty mindblowing. Theres a LOT more I could rant about, but this will get the basics accrossed if you read it all. God Bless.
@@o0RageCore0oTrue. He probably means just in case but I am wondering where people plan to go. Maybe a relatives house if it’s in a safer area or maybe the wilderness.
@@DavidWaldrip our go-bags are in case of fire, flood, civil unrest. Sheltering with family members outside of town. bags and guns are in a push cart inside the back door, we i can open the door and grab the essentials, with no searching or “gearing up”
@@papabeararms310This is a super smart idea. Especially having it on a push cart to get everything quickly to the vehicle. Hope you never need it but if so, your family will be ready! Stay safe 🇺🇸
Two things I want to recommend are making sure you have some physical cash and some silver. No matter how much money you have, if it’s in a bank and a cyber attack happens, it’s useless. Also, one gun I recommend is a .22lr. I remember during the pandemic, the only ammo I could find was .40 S&W and .22lr. Sure, everyone should have an AR-15, but they should also have something like a Ruger 10/22 rifle. The ammo is cheap and usually easy to find. A .22 lr(rifle) is one of the most versatile guns.
22 is a crappy caliber to use in a firefight. I wouldnt recommend it. getting something chambered in 223 and 556, do it because when shtf there wont be a subject of "cheap" ammo. You gotta have something you can use when you gotta pry some mags off a stiff. or a bad guy.
you want something with an abundance of ammo cost always ain't the deciding factor but really more than 50 bullets is unnecessary for even the most crazy SHTF situation. Unless it's a civil war. For self defense you just need enough to take the other guys guns and bullets ammo but for urban self defense a 22 is fine@@williambarrera4629
@@williambarrera4629I think you are more likely to hunt small game to survive then to get in a firefight, just talking what might really happen realistically.
@@wulffenstein7249If you live in Suburbia, I doubt you're going to be hunting any small animals for food too soon, the biggest concern will be to protect your home and family from looters and street gangs and in that case a 22 is not going to be sufficient
Already done THANKS to listening to you for all these years. I have 1 year of food stored. Water I have stored but I NEED to work on that. I can't own a gun but I have 3: samurai swords and YES I am TRAINED to use them
When shtf community is the most important. How “we” going to protect our families. Prepping for a natural disaster is one thing, but prepping for civil unrest is another ballgame.
Great video Reggie thank you for sharing your knowledge, God Bless. Cleaned all my guns today and tested an AR out on the range that had a couple jams last time out, she fed through 50 rounds no problem!
Man. I used to watch your stuff years ago. Glad to see your channel has taken off. I lived in McDonough for 20 years. No telling how many times we probably crossed paths. Thanks for the quality content.
I personally have an issue with folding knives, but that's because I've broken too many folding knives to count, so I'd say a good boot knife like the Gerber Guardian, or if you can legally carry it, I would recommend the MK1 Ka-Bar, not the MK2 which everyone thinks of, the blade profile on the MK1 is far more versatile and at full tang is a durable daily and survival knife, however the only folding knives that haven't broke on me that I still use are an old boat knife with Awln from around the 1920s, and a Camillus electricians knife, as for Multitools, there's only one brand I've been carrying for years, and that's the Spyderco Spyderench...
Some who know me think im stupid. I have 2 year food supply, stocked medical kit to include sutures and stop bleed, plenty of protection! Only thing im working on is water storage! Came across a good video on water and learned alot about long term water storage! Reqlly need to have water stored properly for long term!
I have a Lifestraw water filter and a Sawyer Squeeze filter, as you showed in this video. If I recall correctly, Lifestraws filter the finest out of all the portable water filters, but Sawyer Squeeze filters can filter pretty much one person's life-time worth of water (if not that, then it's still a whole lot more than any other filter.) I keep my Lifestraw in my hiking backpack and my Sawyer Squeeze filter in my emergency bag, because that bag's mostly just to chuck into the car and go, whereas my hiking backpack is an ultra-light day pack that I actually use for hiking. Both packs have first aid kits in them. My hiking backpack has a more basic kit plus a dedicated snake bite kit that is a different colour and texture, so I can find it in the bag without even looking. My emergency backpack has a more comprehensive all-rounder first aid it.
SHTF daily prioritize preparedness as much as possible can’t afford it cut back the unnecessary things like streaming subscriptions, fast foods, drinking, partying etc. Now is not the time to be celebrating be safe God bless.
Here in Illinois they ban any and all assault weapons ,the governor literally taken away our right to defend ourselves and property from domestic violence hope what happen in the tulsa race riots massacre 1921 doesn't happen here🙏🏾
I disagree with the idea of prepping for those who are not prepping. I believe that your responsibility is to tell them and educate them about prepping. Even going as far as showing them how to do it and giving them resources to bypass your early mistakes. Always remember being prepared is a mindset first and action later. I dont need someone who did not prepare with me because you won't be able to trust or control them. When people are in panic mode or in a stressful situation, they will do unexpected things. Including killing you in your sleep as the preps run out. It is great to build communities because no one can do it alone. However, i dont need anyone who refused to put the work in on the front end.
Wilderness self reliance because at some point you will have to move and if you can’t hunt,fish,trap, and clean your game you will become someone else’s burden.
@@CephlonMayngrum Disagree for one reason, you should always have a substitute form of money. Gold spots never decrease. You can pawn or deal it when you’ve much of it.
Gold and silver are good to have but in SHTF,ammo will be more valuable than gold and silver..there are a lot of people out here with firearms but most don’t even have 500rds.most people I know only have a couple hundred rds at most
Gold and silver is useless in a SHTF scenario. Banks will close. Money will cease to be used for tender. You’re also betting on yourself to not be over ran by people who are training to loot homes
Brother, if our country is threatened,im with anyone who loves it as i do, all i ask is you respect me as i respect you...the dems created all this division, not we patriots...we save the nation first, and settle our petty differences later, peacefully ,under our founding fathers papers!
Great video! Keep 'em coming - we definitely need to spread the word. If everything collapses, the government is NOT coming to help you (at least at first). For the first 3-10 days at least, folks need to be prepared to be self-sufficient and able to defend and care for themselves, their homes, and their loved ones. Remember to prep for your pets as well! Extra pet food and water, any maintenance meds they need, etc..
I sm getting into prepping slowly. I want to take medic/EMT classes. I definitely want to get more firearms training. I also want o learn how to hunt and prepare my kill for storage and consumption. Also i need to get into gardening not to be an expert but enough to grow my own food or at least be able know how to recognize what i can eat in nature. Then also any additional basics to survive when society collapse
@@gottroubletactical will do. I am just getting use to doing stuff that I honestly wouldn't ever consider but as we know the times we are in require us all to do things we aren't use to and to be able to survive
water and sewer is easy and we have a septic system and a well and a back up hand pump mywife and i both have a 9mm hand gun have the shotguns covered from bird hunting but just got my first ar and havent got any extra mags yet and only enough ammo left to load the mag 1 more time but did get it sighted in wife and i both have deer rifles to use and plenty of ammo for them
Thats right brother. Many people arent paying attention, many of them are not family. Many family.members will consider this needing "mental help", when in reality it is the other eay around. 60 years ago, EVERYONE/every family have guns and 6 months of stored food. It was the norm. Subbed.
Edgucating myself on "thru-hikers" helped with evacuation or bug out scenarios. They spend days sometimes weeks on the trail and cover 12-20 miles per day.
Ready to eat rice packs. All grocery stores have them. No need to heat or add water. Just peel open the pack and eat. Their fairly flat too so you can easily slide a few into a backpack. They have ready to eat salmon packs too. Fun side hobby I like to do a couple times a month is browse the grocery store for ready to eat things to make my own MREs. Then stuff them into a gallon ziplok bag, then stash them away. Protein bars, Liquid IV electrolyte drink packs. Tons of things that last a long time. Instant coffee too, they come in little boxes with 6-8 little pouches in them. Also consider what would be used as currency in bad times. Cigs, liquor(small bottles), lighters, can openers, coffee etc. What will people need that they likely wont have and would trade things they do have for them?
That's sound advise about family that Don't prepare they're still family you care about so prep for them as well ,even if they don't contribute to the preps they may be handy to help defend your preps or watch the back door or window keep that in mind 😊
something must be up with the algorithm, I havent seen you on my feed in ages, was just thinking about you yesterday and wondered if you were still active! good to see you brother!
People seem to forget this one thing. The amount of body fat that you have on you when shtf is very important. The more fat you have the longer you can go without eating. Case in point, the guy in the video has enough fat on him to last him 2 months with very little to no food. Water is the most important
@@SmokeNGunsBBQ He is actually much thinner than I remember him being 5 or 6 years ago. And even then ,in one of his videos you can see him hitting a heavy bag very powerfully! Your stamina is useless when you're knocked out.
Take a severe trauma course if you can. We took the Stop The Bleed-course. 8 hours, and it included a top-rated first aid kit, all for $245. Well-worth the money. Wet wipes and baby wipes would be great for hygiene. You don't need to use your water to stay clean. Oil lamps or propane lanterns or white gas camp lanterns would be great for light. We have several, with plenty of fuel/oil for them all. A small 1-or 2-burner camp stove for cooking would be great to have as well. Gotta remember to have as much fuel for them as you can get.
Appreciate your video.. change train of thought I’ve had recently .. sometimes you gotta step out of this “life” we’re living & look at the bigger picture #fallofromeV2
I see you are putting lots of energy and time into planning for SHTF, but I hope you put the same amount of effort into planning your future and retirement by investing in stocks, Roth IRA, bonds, real estate, and a savings account.
Prepping IS planning for the future, that includes investing, saving, diversifying...as my grandfather explained it...gotta put things back for a rainy day.
But can you hold on to your preps because numbers will always overrun you. Have an exit plan from your spot. Murphys law, you will be overrun,so prepare accordingly.
stumbled on the video, good stuff man, or good reminders and good delivery... People shouldnt forget to prep for their pets - its seems obvious but be sure to, if you treat em like most ppl do or part of the family.
Absolutely, I wish I had one neighbor like you to plan shtf with, not to depend on your gear/preps, I have that myself but we all need allies and especially during a “situation” Might never happen or something like a covid 2.0 could be an absolute disaster, and not because of the virus.
Now is the period of time where we need to be retrofitting our houses with secondary backup systems but don't rely on the grid. You need a rain system for water, a wood stove for heat and cooking. The minimum amount of preparation is a rain barrel to catch water and a cheap camp wood stove from Amazon for 100-200 buks. You need alot more but this is where u start u can't do anything without water heat and food
I completely agree with this 👍🏻 we have to start thinking more along the lines of long-term crisis and less short-term. We made a major move and had to release a bunch of what we had last year. I'm quickly closing all of the holes I can and two rain barrels along with a portable camping stove were my most recent purchases. Additionally, people need to consider attachments for the downspout, proper filtration (even creating a container and layering it with small gravel, sand, and activated carbon is a start) and proper safety equipment to utilize a stove. Something that small isn't going to heat an entire house, so strategizing a single room to heat and a crude way of properly venting it through a window (think plyboard a hole for the pipe lined with foil) is an option. So much more to consider here with fire safety that I can't even begin to mention. My biggest concern is that people will grab a rain barrel and a stove and then think that's it. There are many other components that need to be considered!
Get food grade ibc containers to catch rain from your roof. They are usually around 100 but lately they are going for up to 200 but they are 275 gallons and u can hook it up to your downspout or use a tarp to catch rain. Theres also 55 gallon barrels but with all the valves and pipes to connect them together it becomes pretty expensive. The barrels can be used for other stuff like a slow sand filter to purify thexwayer
