Having a battery back up to complement my generator was crucial during Helene. My ECOFLOW Delta Max 2 ran two refrigerators for 11 hrs and only one hour to recharge on generator.
Those jump starter packs are the nuts and I've used mine a couple of times now. Flat batteries can be a common thing on camping trips especially with kids if doors of cars get left open or whatever. Good idea about using them occasionally as mine tends to sit in my vehicle and only get charged every now and again.
A couple of things I learned during Snowpocolyps 2021 here in north Texas. Large Gensets are nice but are very thirsty and will use a crap load of fuel! A more modest sized 3500-4500 watt generator will still run a lot and recharge your Power Station on a couple of gallons a day with a couple of hours of run time. Solar panels suck in a winter snow or ice storm which is when your probably gonna loose power more times than not. As a result of lessons learned, I now keep on stand by a Pecron 3600+600 watts of solar along with a Predator 4550 generator+ gas. Another thing I learned...a large Crockpot on low will heat water for a constant source of water and will even allow you to pour cans of soup in a mason jar for hot meals and uses a paltry 10 watts or so doing it! I also like keeping two totes in my trucks back cab. One has road side emergency gear that will hopefully allow me to make minor repairs and limp home. The other tote has by Go Bag in it to hide from prying eyes.
Great tips. I like seeing different influencers talk about these subjects of both home and away preparation. Couple other items in bags would deck of cards and maybe dice.
I agree with everything laid forth in this presentation. Rest assured that when the need arrives, you will be happy you bought and have used the devices shown. Make certain to use them all so you are familiar with each.
A couple thoughts, amazing video. Within a month of me purchasing a crank radio I was using it to stay updated about the storms that were coming through my area. Also, I’d like to have bonfires so having a portable solar generator/power bank is really nice if you wanna run a radio. Finally whatcha got against cards against humanity.
Great Video.. Just to expand a bit on the communication subject. GRMS radios and HAM radio hand held radios have close to the same range. HAM radios have the ability to access repeaters that rebroadcast your signal to much longer distances. GRMS radios also have the availability but much more limited. A subject you may want to address is the use of a WIFI HOT SPOT. It is a unit that will connect to whatever is the WIFI service that is available, unlike those HOT SPOTS that are dedicated to a service ie ATT, VERIZON whatever. As a licensed HAM I can communicate around the world on my computer without a radio. HAM radio is a GREAT way to go.
JR , thank you for your Survivalist Series ! I always carry a small get home bag as water, rain coat, mini shelter with emergency sleeping bag and water and fire assistance with mosquito repellent! Security is also a must ! Lone Bear !
Many good points, about 20 years ago the M11 in England was shut overnight with sudden snow. Lots of people were just driving 20 miles home, from work.
Not the best option but a good one. Truckers still use them and its a good way to get road conditions of storm condition up dates from them and they can tell you where they are delivering a load of food or fuel so you can be first in line! Just a thought...
That's a good idea! If we do that it would need to be after the first of the year. Thanksgiving to New Year is like an elephant shoved into a tube sock. lol
@@diypreppertv For sure. Whilst many will disagree I love the fact that it's not really a consideration here in Australia although if you want to jump through the hoops you can get them.
Great insights! It's so true that prepping isn't just about gear; it's about practicality and resilience in daily life. A question for the peeps on the comments. Which one item do you think is essential for both emergencies and everyday use?
I'd say some type of hand lotion in a small leakproof bottle and probably chap stick in that bug out bag., 12:12 not sure what the zip lock bag contained , was it cotton balls or a white powdery substance (coffee creamer?) in that case also pack a small straw like coffee stir.

I've not watched in a while, good to see this channel seems to be plugging along and making the set more fancy!
Thank you!

Great video as usual. Always look forward to them. Always walk away with something. Thank you!
Those jump starter packs are the nuts and I've used mine a couple of times now.
Flat batteries can be a common thing on camping trips especially with kids if doors of cars get left open or whatever. Good idea about using them occasionally as mine tends to sit in my vehicle and only get charged every now and again.
I love mine; I've even used it to start my gas generator when it's starter battery died. Thanks for watching!
Excellent…as always!
Hope you and your family have a wonderful thanksgiving!
Thank you!
Great video. And good move having a silcock key in the bag.
Thank you!

Just found your channel. Lots of great information on here. Really appreciate that you openly talk about your faith. 🙏
Thank you Jonathan!

As always, JR, great info! I've bought several of the items you've suggested, and like this video for a more scaled down selection. Thank you!
You're welcome Millie! Thanks for watching!

Thanks for these, J.R.! Lots of solid tips here. Always enjoy your content. Keep up the GREAT work!!!
I love your bug out bag videos.
Thank you!
Many good points, about 20 years ago the M11 in England was shut overnight with sudden snow. Lots of people were just driving 20 miles home, from work.
I have had trouble understanding these type radios. Thank you.
A hand held 40 channel C.B. radio could also be useful to have

Thanks for watching John!
@raywells2858
Exactly
Thanks for sharing JR. Following your link I saw that the price on the Delta 2 at $399 is fantastic.
Thanks for watching! This is a very good sale that they're running right now.
Hi JR.
Would you be interested per chance in doing a live to discuss the difference in prepping in the uk vrs us ?
That's a good idea! If we do that it would need to be after the first of the year. Thanksgiving to New Year is like an elephant shoved into a tube sock. lol
I can think of one big difference right off the bat.
Me too. That one alone could take up most of the video if we’re not careful.
@@diypreppertv For sure.
Whilst many will disagree I love the fact that it's not really a consideration here in Australia although if you want to jump through the hoops you can get them.
@diypreppertv I can work around your calendar buddy.
Just let me know when suits.
It would be great to see the difference ways folks prep
Great insights! It's so true that prepping isn't just about gear; it's about practicality and resilience in daily life. A question for the peeps on the comments. Which one item do you think is essential for both emergencies and everyday use?
Thanks JR. 😃
Thanks!
Thank you Laurie!
I keep a bugout bag and spare hiking boots at home AND in my car
I like the little bag of survival gear
Thanks for watching!
I just sent you a super thanks. Your content is so helpful.
Thank you so much!

Another good video. I am trying to save up for a solar power station. I ditched Amazon almost six years ago though so there's that.
Buy before the tariffs hit
Thanks for watching!
THKS
You’re welcome David! Thanks for watching!
I'd say some type of hand lotion in a small leakproof bottle and probably chap stick in that bug out bag., 12:12 not sure what the zip lock bag contained , was it cotton balls or a white powdery substance (coffee creamer?) in that case also pack a small straw like coffee stir.
Hi Mark! The bag had cotton ball fire starters.
You got my vote for the Gundies!
