It's not about politics. We’re going to explore why it's not the government's job to take care of us and why self-reliance is more important than ever.

My wonderful and very patient husband gave me a massive hug. He then said thank you. I said for what? He said for creating our family heirloom seed library even when family teased me about it, for learning how to grow food, and cook and preserve it. He said thank you for all my efforts to think ahead and to keep us safe…just in case. He said today, after so many years of watching me build my ‘crazy’ he finally understood, he finally truly got it. He said it was so overwhelming to see the problems for the first time and realise the problem was already solved for our family. Not so crazy afterall. Keep up the good work everyone. Thank you Leisa for your leadership and realism. I learn so much from you and I’m so grateful.

When Mt ex left in the middle of the night. He took every dime we had. I've been so hungry, I was actually throwing up bile, bcuz there was nothing in my stomach. I never want to be in that situation again. So, now I prep so that I have at least 3 months worth of food in my old broken down motorhome. I have a tiny solar system that charges my cell phone, 3 lights, and my 9" fan. It could charge my fridge/freezer if I had a couple more batteries easily in the summer time. But not in the winter. And barely keeps 1 light and my cell phone charged in the winter, bcuz Michigan is not the sunshine state. In the winter I choose heat over food. That's another reason I try to have at least 3 months worth of food. I think I'm doing a great job taking care of me.

My mother was born in ‘32 during depression My grandparents farmed and I remember they got rations of sugar flour and other staples. My grandparents house is still standing because it was made from pine heartwood, resistant to termites. My mom in her 80’s Told me that seeds would be the most important thing to have. She was never interested in money or wealth, but loved her family ❤. She died November of 2019, right before all the crazy co$&id started, which was a blessing. Her birthday is June 14!! Flag day! I’ll be flying it proudly in honor of her. She canned and saved and recycled and taught us all how to make the best out of any situation. Miss her…

We are realists. We are preppers and have been for the last 30 years. The twelve years before that, we made sure we had food for 6 months at least. I'm from a big family, so I learned how to do a lot. We are in our 60s, and the kids are scattered across the country. I've never been a doom and gloom person, but things are going to get bad. I'm just glad to see more people interested in canning, stocking up, and taking care of themselves. Thank you for all the work you put into this group. 💜

I'm definitely a realist. I'm preparing for my retirement because I know I'll have to survive with no help. Instead of a yearly vacation, our household invests in long term food and self sufficient power sources. I want to eat, drink water and have a way to cook what I have.

@brendajackson294 Месяц назад

The generation who went through the 1930's depression learned how to survive and rely on themselves. If you were lucky enough to have a grandparent who was of that generation then you were coached on how to do for yourself or do without. Sage advice the new generations need to hear.

68, single (divorced for so many yrs I barely remember being married), small town girl who moved to BIG cities 1200 miles from home. Had a good and interesting career until I decided to build my homestead house and move to a rural area. Then I had the double car, metal garage door crash onto my head and cause traumatic brain injury. No more professional job, so I had to make sure I was ready for whatever. Started canning, dehydrating foods, and creating my own complete pantry. I am trying to encourage others to have extra supplies and food 'just in case". My parents grew up during the Depression and I listened to their stories about the coal mining towns where they grew up and growing their food and harvesting their meat animals. If they could do it, I can do it. I raise chickens for eggs and meat and breed goats for sale and meat. I have more than enough "stuff" from so many hobbies that I could probably figure out a way to make whatever I need. I have planned and executed those plans. I can only depend on me.

So my pantry prep for emergencies is changing from peanut butter & rice more towards home canned meats and meals in a jar. And I started my first backyard suburbs veggie garden in 20 years. I have been keeping quail for eggs & meat for about 5 years and am very happy to share my skills with neighbors. Very few seem to care. Yet.

My ultimate goal is to sever as many ties to any governmental system as possible.

Because anything that is provided by ANYONE other than yourself, can just as quickly be taken away. It's up to us, & us alone to provide for ourselves & our own & maybe even be in a position to help others if practical. Anything else is as uncertain as a weather forecast. 😉

@marking-time-gardens Месяц назад

Realist... was taught young that you are responsible for yourself. Grandma said... use it up... wear it out... make it do... or do without! She was born 1893... Papa 1886... they taught us foraging, gardening and putting food up for winter. And about thrift stores! Also to keep a little something in the "sock drawer." Mama was a little "special" so Grandma taught me (Mama's oldest of 8) how to take care of everything. Best gift I have ever received. Carried that into my marriage/family as well. Still do... at 76 years young. (ps still mow my own grass... saves me $40 per week and tend my own garden)🌻🐛🌿💚🙏💕

@lauriedrake Месяц назад

Who's going to take care of you when you get old? That's exactly what my hysterical mother screamed at me when I told her I wasn't going to have kids. Yes, because I didn't have kids I was the one who had to take care of her in her old age. I ended up doing so much better physically/financially than my siblings with families. I totally believe I'm the only person to take care of myself, I have made the proper decisions for myself and will never be dependent on anyone else. Once I can no longer take care of myself I have set up benefits (already paid for) that will handle my daily needs. In the meantime, I garden/cook/preserve food, keep my home in good working order so I'm safe, never put myself in a position to need to ask for help, and keep informed on the topics affecting my life. My disabled husband and I have managed this all on a civil servants pay/pension, we pushed like crazy when younger to make sure we would be self sufficient. It is the way it should be done.

@superawesomejunkmonk Месяц назад

I do wonder what people plans are when they don't have children. That is not why I had my child however. My siblings and I cared for my father as he died of brain cancer. He was unable to be admitted to a care facility because he was diagnosed quickly and it was very aggressive. He was basically sent home after being in the hospital for 3 days. He became immobile pretty quickly and was bed ridden for some time. You have stated you have benefits set up, which I think is honestly the smartest thing to do and even if people do have children they should do this. I wonder some times if people just think they will up and die. For a lot of people, its a slow sad process. Thank you for sharing. I am just kind of typing out loud here and thinking.

Still trying to figure out what I need if I become incompetent! Maybe need long term care policy if I can afford one. Currently trying to figure out which Medigap plan I should pick. And yes, it would be easier if I knew I would just kick the can without any long term illness leading up to it. 😬

@danniemcdonald7675 Месяц назад

@Nwladylaura369 Just realize that all Medigap plans are the same. All Plan G, N, so just might one that you can afford. Something else you might want to look into is a Living Will. I also, several years ago, had a pre-need, which has paid for my funeral, including the casket. You can find information at any funeral home. From articles I have read, most long-term care policies are not worth it. A lot of them don't apply to nursing homes, so read the terms carefully.

I'm 51 and served in Desert Storm, so I have pretty much always had a belief to keep a stocked pantry and freezer. It was maybe 10 years ago, when my "quality brand chest freezer" broke down and no one noticed until it was time to pull something out for the next day's supper and everything was not only thawed, but room temperature - I snapped. I felt physically broken because there were hundreds of dollars worth of food, bought on sale and in bulk in that freezer and it ALL went to waste. I was a divorced mother of three growing boys, subsisting on less than $20k per year. After a short time literally crying over the lost meals, I decided to try some different methods and just stock my pantry. After all, I didn't have enough money in savings and had no credit cards with which to purchase even a second-hand freezer to replace the one that broke. I had relied on SNAP/food stamps for a time, too, but as quickly as I could I got my family off of that assistance. I put in a garden, which has expanded over the years. I learned to ferment, home can more than just jams and jellies, and dehydrate foods. It's been wonderful to know the pantry is stocked and if something should happen where we can't harvest from our garden or "just run to the store", we'll still be fed. So - I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but I can connect dots if they're big enough. I try not to pay TOO MUCH attention to all the paranoid rhetoric, but just the basic news periodically (because daily would totally either stress me out or desensitize me to the worst of the things that are reported on). I work at keeping a stocked pantry for any "just in case" time, regardless if it's some Mad Max Zombie Apacolypse or simply a bad garden harvest year.

I need to stay at my home but remove myself if need be. I have planned for all scenarios and on low income it’s tricky. But with tornados, possible floods if the dam breaks, dam 20 miles away. EMP or CME, water plant going down, ice storm power outage etc so on so. I know the “ government “ will not be able to help. I help family and friends when job loss, sickness, storms with my supplies. I think I got a huge wake up call during hurricane Katrina.

Thank you for this, Leisa. I have not been able to succinctly vocalize these words to my children in a manner that is calm, and in the manner that I directly feel and internalize daily. It is not that I am an (R), and they are (D)'s. It is because I want/need/am forced by their inaction to do this. To prepare, plant, and be productive in order to get ahead of this inflation. I am a mumma, Nana, and G Nana, and I love them.

I’m a realist. Prepping as we both get closer to retirement in many ways. Getting our food together, learnings new skills (Fermenting, thanks Anna), canning, Freeze-drying, dehydrating. Getting together good medical kits for us and our dogs. Helping those near & dear to understand the value of prepping as they want / can do. There are four of us in this venture, 3 households, each with something to offer. If the shtf in any way we will get together to support each other. I do most of the food prep, my partner deals with the medical stuff (veterinarian) with my help. One friend provides food & supplies for prepping, the other provides physical help in the garden & home. I don’t go out to work, they do. So prepping for our future, letting those who ‘need’ to know, know (my sister who i will always help) - doing what i can for others i care about (v close friends, who think i’m canning etc as a hobby only) and no-one else needs know where or what we have. Prepare, and help others prepare without them worrying you’re going cuckoo.

@rikwen96 Месяц назад

Growing up my mother raised me to think for myself and to be self-reliant. I am a realist, it isn't about trust or not trust, I just know that the only person who is going to be there to do things is me. I started prepping several years ago when we were starting to have problems with supply chain issues and lack of things. I cycle out what I have on a regular basis to keep things fresh and not waste anything. It is channels like yours, Leisa, and Fermented Homestead and Purposeful Pantry that have taught me canning, fermenting and preserving foods. I am learning new things all the time.

@cheryladams5175 Месяц назад

Leisa, I am so grateful for your thoughts and advice. I am 65 and alone but I grew up on a farm with grandparents who survived the depression. In many ways for them the depression didn’t end as they continued the same super frugal ways. I have always done lots of home canning of produce I purchased. This year I doubled what I am growing and next year I hope to do even more.

@rtshaffer77 Месяц назад

My prepping journey started when our county lifted the mask mandate and I could do real shopping. I noticed how the stores looked like a 3rd world country due to supply chain problems. Just the thought of another pandemic or event that could keep me stuck at home scares the bejeebers out of me. And Floridians had it easy compared to most states! I prep for the realities of life, but with a conspiracy theory or two runs in my little prepper brain. I've learned to can, vacuum seal, dehydrate and grow veggies in containers. All since 2021. A zombie apocalypse doesn't scare me. I'm a huge Walking Dead fan, so I know what to do.

@regib422 Месяц назад

True facts! There's an old proverb: The left wing and the right wing are both on the same bird. Somewhere along the way, we forgot this whole grand experiment of a country started because people wanted to live life their own way and take care of themselves and not be forced to rely on government. And they did pretty darn well with far less than we have. I do what I do because I never want to be a burden to anyone, most specifically my kiddo. And the more I can teach him early, the less he will have to struggle later on.

Thanks Leisa. I grew up with great grandparents, grandparents, and many relatives living in close proximity to my parents. We were always taught to be responsible for ourselves and family first but be available to help others in need. My great grandfather worked a huge garden until his death at 95. I don't count on anyone else, but I'm here for others if needed. The government has not ever been there for anyone I know. Conspiracy? Maybe to a small degree, but you nailed it in your explanation to T. I owe my families a thank you for the way we were brought up, not having much materialistic, but learning a lot. I owe you, Leisa, for sharing all of the information and knowledge you have given. I would not have started pressure canning without you...and you can't live on jelly and pickles.

At 71 I know that the government is not there to take care of me and mine. I wish I could say that I believed Science, but sadly we've also learned that like any other kind of data, it can be manipulated and is still up to us to decipher what is truth. I have spent many years trying to learn the skills of my ancestors in the event they are needed. I have learned that preparedness and prepping are two different things and strive to prepare for emergencies. Thank you, Leesa for helping us be prepared with both skills and thought-provoking questions and ideas for taking care of ourselves.

I agree. I'm a realist. After 2 super typhoons, if you did not prepare your home before hand with food and supplies, you were stuck with what other organizations would hand out to everyone, until those supplies ran out inside a day. I store up food for a year, i prepare for government shut downs because that's where we shop, at commissaries on military bases. I store up for the winter season after that, because i don't drive on ice. I store up for when the relatives suddenly show up for a week or two at a time.

When I was 12 my mom had surgery and couldn't do anything for a month so I was able to step in and do everything for her while she healed. Kids today are not taught how to do these things. Why?

Thank you for this video. We started prepping years ago when I was the food storage specialist in our church. So little by little we accumulated food, water and tons of info about food storage, then non-food storage. Now we have a food storage room, which the kids loved to go shopping in! Now the kids are gone, empty nesters at 56 yrs old.... but we do continue to prep! Why?? because a few yrs back my husband got hurt outside of work and we didn't have an income for 3 months! He recuperated fine. I prep because of experiences that we have gone through that taught us many reasons to do so. Zombies??? I don't think so, but Life? definitely. We don't care what the Government does, basically we are on our own. A Marine is always a prepared Marine!

We went through numerous layoffs with the auto industry. We had auto accidents with injuries, surgeries, owned a home that lost power regularly due to Detroit Edison not maintaining its lines throughout Michigan over the years despite being paid too high per kwh, job losses,loss of a spouse and a financial advisor that lost our 401ks value in under 3 months, and ultimately disabled, and having to sell the family home, before losing it, while fighting for social security. Each time we got through it and came out the other side we made a point of continuing to stay ready for whatever comes our way. I am not a conspiracy theorists but I will always believe in being prepared. I see the faces of family members when they visit, looking at my pantry, and making cracks about it. I don't care. We hedge inflation by buying on sale and storing it safely for future use. We eat very healthy, and scratch cook most of our meals and we aim to be healthy and active for decades to come.

My mother always kept a stocked pantry. Dad was laid off every winter. And sometimes they were long winters. Then we moved to the farm and there were many winters that we were snowed in and had no way of getting to a grocery store. Infact, one winter we were snowed in for a week before the county brought backhoes in to dig us out. We had over 22 inches. And we were able to help a neighbor. He was a cook at a local restaurant. So, he ate all of his meals there. He had 1 can of green beans in his house. He never thought about planning to be snowed in, or a layoff, or whatever. Needless-to-say, he was very grateful for the help and moved as soon as he could get up the hill. There are so many reasons to prep. And you can't depend on your neighbors for the help if something happens. They may be like our neighbor and not prep either.
