I have a tip for everyone, remember to check that there is either cranberry juice or lingonberry juice in the pantry, because it works as a good preventive measure against urinary tract infections. I have worked in elderly care and every autumn when the weather starts to cool down, we offer every resident a glass of lingonberry juice in the morning and often it is also offered at dinner. cranberries and lingonberries can also be crushed a little and served with food.
@@annettechoate2647 Research results show that natural products cranberry and lingonberry juice can prevent urinary tract infections. In older women, cranberry juice is as effective as trimethoprim antibiotic prophylaxis. The power of the juices is due to the fact that they prevent the E. coli bacteria from sticking to the bladder wall.
Important to note: you do not need to be a church member to buy from the lds home storage centers!! For going in person, They are staffed by volunteers and often have limited hours, but there is also the website
I was just about to post the same info! I found the food to be excellent, most if not all in #10 cans, and the staff friendly (They never asked about which church I went to, or anything) and helpful! Prices were good, but they did have limited hours. Recommend calling for open times, as the one near me varied it's hours on a day to day basis...
Canned salmon can be mixed up as is to make salmon patties, the bones are soft and mash easily (calcium), the skin is free of scales and contains Omega 3. I add dried onions, parsley, sesame seeds, finely diced celery and/or red bell pepper, 1 egg per can, cracker crumbs and a little evaporated milk. My cats get the broth from the can. Pan fry in olive oil or coconut oil and voila! Tasty and healthy.
My biggest regret was spending so much on those prepackaged containers of food from certain companies. They are horrible tasting and not even good calories. 5 gallon buckets that I make myself are the best. ❤️👍🇺🇲
I like some of the meals intended for camping, where you just add hot water. When I lived in a place with frequent power outages, they were really handy to have. They're meant for backpackers and camping so they actually taste pretty good, since the manufacturers know the food is likely to get eaten instead of betting stored long term for some future catastrophe. (Mountain House is one of the most popular brands, but there are others.) Short term, the freeze dried items are great, but I wouldn't rely on them for 20 or 30 years. We tried to cycle through our freeze dried camping items in about 3 years or so (most had use by dates much longer).
I almost ordered some of those, glad I didn't. One reason was they seemed to be mostly carbohydrates. So I have purchased a few from grocery store of brands I have used and know we like, like Knorr, to use as a get me by until I can set up my cooking-without-power spot.
@@KellyS_77 I really enjoy the mountainhouse ready meals from Walmart but recently I saw a video on RUclips about the best survival food and they kept saying that Peak refuel is the good stuff , so I picked up a bunch of those
Bought a dehydrator for $39 and it can make anything that are in those expensive ready made meals and they taste way better and no worries about sodium and toxic additives!
I have a few of those buckets, too! I thought it they worked by just adding hot water, like camp freeze-dried meals, but you need to have them on heat for quite some time. Taste is okay, imo. The good thing about them is I won't steal from them at any point, like I might do with my other preps. 😂😅 Plus, I got an insane deal on them, so I don't mind if they're not perfect. Just have to make sure we know what's in store if we need to use them.
I once bought a combo ax/saw tool (one handle - 2 tools) that was dangerous since the ax would pop off the handle while in use. Now I just have a small hatchet and a folding saw. The best purchase was buying the Bluetti AC200MAX and the 2 batteries as our electric company just announced the prime-time use rates. The AC200MAX can also power my fridge and furnace if the power goes out. I love it when my preps can be used in my daily life - those preps are the most useful. Another good purchase was the Vesta heater/stove. I can heat cans of soup and warm a room at the same time.
I love our Berkey, our power station and for Christmas I got my Contingency medical kit which is like Jace. I can’t really think of buyers regret per say, except not buying enough of something when it was cheap. Like $30 Augason whole egg powder. Who knew!?
HSN (Home Shopping Network) has Augason Farms Whole Egg Powder - 72 servings for $30.95. Amazon is $65 today. I just bought 2 cans and there is a $10 coupon for first time buyers.
I wish we could hear your regretted items! I think for me, it is the little, cheap things, especially stuff I bought early on that I justified as “good enough” but really isn’t. If you are sure it meets a specific need, then make sure you buy something reliable. All of the “it’s just a few dollars” items added up to be quite a few dollars.
This. Completely. My initial preps from years ago have almost all been replaced when they fell apart. I bought a cheap generator that was too small because it was inexpensive, not understanding a larger quality one would do so much more in the long run.
Hi Guys. Great video. Particularly the message "Use what you buy NOW". All too often I see and hear people complaining about the cost of something, only to find that it's been purchased and then not used. Off grid power, for example. People say it's expensive, or it isn't sufficient to meet their needs. But if they started with a small system, then used the power generated to off set their current usage, thus saving them money on their current bills, they could expand their system with the money they saved. Keep up the good work. Many thanks.
Haven't regretted anything yet. I just purchased 2 of the Vesta heaters like yours and hybrid flashlights. Good quality items. Thank you for recommending them. I love your channel. I'm binge watching older videos wishing I had found your channel sooner.
Buy the cheaper water filter & then run it through the better 1. It's cheaper to clog the cheap ones then the expensive ones. Expensive will last longer
I'm still recovering emotionally (and financially) from my backyard shed being broken into (the wall was kicked in) and cleaned out by the homeless person thats been squatting in the vacant house next door. Tents, sleeping bags, blankets, Coleman stove, solar oven, ice chests, lanterns...everything. Well, except long term food which I keep inside for temperature control reasons. Gold for a homeless person, I guess. So I was wiped out, which really sucks, BUT! the good news is I have the opportunity to try to buy everything again with the decades of experience and lessons learned to guide my purchases. And some homeless squatter got a big leg up on survival. So its a win-win, I guess. Just wish it felt that way.
@@TheProvidentPrepper It does help, knowing it will be used for good, however... If the person had just let me know they had need of warmth and a stove, I would have likely given it to them. They didn't have to kick in my shed!
@@npeco1 I agree, and I reported it as such. The cops don't seem to care. They wouldn't even send out an officer; I had to file a report online. So I'm stuck, trying to make the best of a bad situation.
Nothing yet..just figured when all I could get was the cheap items, then started getting better items to replace them, I saved the cheap stuff to donate to my neighbors in an emergency.
I like your advice on dual purpose items. I ordered a led desk light from Amazon not really realizing that it is 5 volt with usb plug. In a grid down situation it is much more efficient to run dc lights and not use the power wasting inverter.
Knowledge is power. Fancy gear isn't going to save you. Learn the basics first. How to find and purify water, build a shelter and aquire food. In my travels in the backwoods to practice I've never seen an electric outlet in a tree.
Great talk! Important topic, too! As far as something In have bought that I regret, I'd have to say a couple of different "solar powered" cell phone battery power banks. The 3 various ones all have one thing in common: it takes several days to charge them, using the solar panel, under ideal conditions! Not good or even useful. Those are all one piece, with the cruddy solar cell on top. They're often orange colored, with a small flashlight built in. Now, the latest one I got has a large, multi-panel solar array that folds out, and that one works great! So, learn from my mistakes!
@@rnupnorthbrrrsm6123 the bad ones were from 3 different makers, having in common the one solar panel built into the top. The good one has 3 larger panels that fold out...sorry I don't remember the brand names at this point...
Great point!

Thank you so much for this wisdom forged by years! You really do have an amazing family, and such a strong spiritual backbone; these are the kind of videos that will get us through hard times!
I love love love my All American Sun Oven! I rely daily on my Berkey and do not regret the purchase of it one bit. My Jackery gives me peace of mind that I can power lights and basic appliances during a power outage. I have switched to mainly USB rechargeable lights and use them and USB headlamps all of the time. I have a Mr. Buddy Heater for emergency back up heat and have been concentrating on any new purchases that I make to be ones that can serve me well during a disaster situation. My grain mill is a hand crank model and most small appliances that need replacing are those that are 12V and can be run off of my Jackery.
All American Sun Oven 👍 - I purchased mine in 2005 and have used it countless times. They've tweaked it a little bit ( bigger inside, sun dial) and upped the price.
Just received my vesta stove heater today!!! Really really excited!!! I ordered because of you all.The two of you talked about it on a previous video. Thanks for all you do
Purchased 3 Vesta Heaters to help keep the water pipes in our bathrooms from freezing next winter if our power goes out. Plan to stock up on the canned heat canisters this summer. We love the Vesta heaters/cookers. Very efficient and don’t take up much space.
Great video! I regret having purchased an inexpensive butane stove and then realizing that, for not that much more money, I could have purchased one that was certified as safe for indoor use. (I now have both kinds in my preps).
I don't regret preps. I regret wastes of money. So glad I put husband through 3 degrees in engineering! 2005 we paid off debt. Next year we bought a house on a busline, husband rode the bus for less than gas or biked. Then we started getting the employer 401k match. Next year our older car was totalled. We became a one car family for 14+ yesrs. We refinanced the house and paid extra. We only carry a mortgage now and it's less than renting. No car payment since 2005! Said never again. Glad I stuck with that! Our 4 year old car paid off in 2005 turned 21 last month. 18 months ago bought a new car with cash.
Thanks for a video that helps sort out all the options that are available. Hope and I really like anything that recharges by solar panels. Power stations are a must in today's world with the uncertain & unstable grid. We use these all the time in our household. Thanks again for an informative video. So far, I can't say that we've regretting spending money on prepping supplies. Channels like yours helps us filter out the unneeded items.
Thank you so much for your videos!! We bought my mom a portable power unit in 2022 and a solar panel this past Christmas (2023). We just went through a short cold snap in Texas and I felt SO much better prepared than in 2021. I did figure out a couple of things that I want to add and your videos and straight forward information has been invaluable.
I actually do buy some items we don’t usually eat such as boxed Mac & Cheese. I want to have quick and easy items at hand. I love my Berkey and Mr. Buddy heater. I want a Freeze Dryer and Sun Oven, but haven’t budgeted for them yet. Great content, thanks.
Barb, I watched a YT video months ago that showed an easier way to cook M&C. Put the macaroni in a pot cover with water (about 1/2" of water over the top of the macaroni), then add your butter and milk and cook on the stove like that. You do have to stir more often but for me this is easier and faster. I was surprised how well it worked. Damn, I forgot to say put in the sauce/powder packet in it, too. Mix is all together and cook.
My worst buyers remorse was solely due to not doing my homework. I paid to have a privacy fence put up before knowing I had to get permission to do so. I then had to pay to take it down - plus pay the city for the permit - before paying again to put it back up! #2 remorse was a hand crank generator. Yes it works as advertised, no issues with the quality of the product or the people selling it. But golly it's a lot of work when I could have spent just a little more to get a power bank. Now I have a power bank AND a hand crank generator - twice the money spent.
Hi Tooshie G, if your hand crank generator could be altered to use your legs/feet, like a bicycle generator, you might feel like it was more useful. Maybe somebody has already done it on RUclips?...
Weighted blankets. Cotton exterior with cold bead filler. Not cheap and mostly useless. Better to go with wool,or wool / mixed fibers. Washable, breathable, warm and cozy.
We got a weighted blanket for our child whom is austic. It works well for children with this disorder to help them feel safe and calm. I would not recoment them for small children.
I bought an Eton Sidekick solar & crank powered radio and if I was using it in the USA it would be a good product. The issue I’ve run into is the radio is tuned in digitally and goes up by increments of ten. The emergency station in my area is AM 1233 but the radio only tunes into 1230 or 1240. It may only be a small thing but the radio was expensive and I’ve had to buy another product to meet my needs. If you’re living outside of the USA go with a different radio
My biggest mistake was spending $ & time to set up a whole house generator. Way to much fuel demand. Then switching to power stations and solar with a small inverter generator as a back up. My best prep is that I have purchased (used & cheap) is Engel 12 volt refrigerators. I can keep frozen & refrigerator food cold indefinitely with a very small solar system. FYI that’s how the salmon should be canned. I have cases of canned salmon.
Mary Very good video. My buyers remorse, is some of the food I have stored. I have a lot of food allergies. I can’t eat chicken, pork and any kind of corn. When I first started prepping, I bought some of these items. Thinking it would be better then nothing. Not knowing that you buy what you would normally eat. As I have been watching provident prepped,s,, I have learned how to purchase my food.. Thank you
Thank you for your video. That brake bleeder thing for vacuuming jars. Broke three of them before my hand gave out too. I wouldn't even recommend them for emergencies. Now I understand there are quality tools "out there", and they may serve fine, but they are cheap plastic crap here. Have a great one.
When I first started prepping, I knew NOTHING. I watched tons of vids, and I started buying "foreign made" junk...preferring quantity over quality. Consequently, I have what I'll call trinkets like cheap knives, multi-tools, Ferro rods, or cheaply made backpacks, etc. It took a while for me to invest in quality products like the Berkey, but eventually I was able to upgrade to better preps. I wish I'd just done that to begin with because I'd have saved money in the long run and my life could depend on it. I totally recommend to others to get the best quality things they can afford and not make the same mistakes I did. I would like to say though that at the time (C...d) I felt an overwhelming compunction to prepare while I still had time. Hindsight... Thanks for your help in my journey to be better prepared for the uncertainty of the coming days!
Thanks for suggesting VESPA stove. I used your link to buy one. Just so happens I have a box of fuel that I got on clearance. And. We've had some power outages lately. I like that it cooks and acts as a heater.
It came today. I'm disappointed. I thought I could heat a kettle and run the heater on the side. Nope. It's either a stove or a room heater. I'll give it a try in the next few weeks tho, and see if it works otherwise.
@@josephdone2713 what do you mean? People put their opinions about products all the time on RUclips. Plus if they weren’t “allowed” to voice their opinion wouldn’t that be an infringement of their freedom of speech?
Great video! I wish I planned my purchases better...paid too much for some but overall happy about what I have. I learned over time about slow and steady...
I’m sure I have bought a dud or two, but I return stuff even if it’s a hassle. While I prefer to shop local whereI have a face to face relationship with a merchant, one thing I appreciate the 30 day return policy if bought via Amazon Prime. But you have to be careful & not assume you can return it. PS: Sawyer makes 2 duel filters (S3 SELECT WATER PURIFIER removes chemicals, pesticides, heavy metals, and viruses). I haven’t tried or tested it yesterday. Post PS: what do you mean chocolate is optional?
Yes all in the learning, the main thing is to have a backup. The marketing is not what you get....bad junk is major out there. I have been lied to about product only to find out what I was told was quality was nothing but junk. The best thing is go to sites that complain and note the pro and cons of whatever you bought.
One of the best videos you guys have made 👍🏼. I spent way too much money on Efoods from Alex Jones. The food haven’t lasted over 25 years as advertised and started going bad within the first 5 years 😡. Live and learn. I consider it now as a donation to Alex’s legal fund 🤣.
Very great video as always I have been super slacking on watching your videos but they always are sooo informative and helpful. You both are honest and makes a difference you are not just doing these products because someone said ohh ya here push this..... its your own tried and true favs thanks again you 2 for another well done video!
The Berkey lawsuit is about someone not doing their shopping correctly - Berkey finally responded publicly - apparently what it boils down to is people purchasing filters from places such as Amazon and Amazon cross docks or stock I forget the term - anyways the filters that are not filtering as they suit claims apparently are not Berkey filters - they are wannabes - Berkey is claiming the filters in question are not coming from verified Berkey resellers
My buyers remorse is those tall glass pillar candles from Dollar Tree. Uffdah do they stink! They smell toxic…like burning plastic. Only way I’d burn them is outside! 😷🥴 Other than that…I really have no regrets. Probably because I watch channels like yours that offer realistic advice! Thanks for that 😊
Storage center is not profit motivated but IS Prophet motivated. I go back in memory to around the time I joined the church to a RS lesson about preparedness. "I can sleep when the wind blows" My biggest regret was an "inexpenive" 72-hour kit in a backpack. It seemed like a great way to get all the stuff for an emergency. Alas, it was filled with mostly ultra cheap junk. Wish I had that money back again to spend on quality items. Kris in Orlando
I purchased an EDC flashlight that has a rechargeable battery that recharges via USB. What I didn't realize is that the USB cable that connects to the flashlight connects with a magnet. I discovered that it's really difficult to get it to connect properly to the flashlight, so most of the time it's dead in the water because the connection wasn't connected exactly right.
I bought an electric/portable tire inflator that ended up being crap. Thankfully it wasn't too expensive. I admit, i was caught up in the moment... and feared a lockdown or some event that I needed to have it.
Mine was not a tool, it was a food- peanut butter pretzels, jars of PB, and jars of peanuts. I was thinking about the protein, but it all went rancid. I switched to powdered PB instead, which has a much longer shelf life but is much more expensive.
Smaller solar power packs for camping. Bought a total of 10 and 8 quit after being rained on. Not soaked or submerged. Just rained on. How can you advertise being used in an emergency, when they are ruined by a sprinkle?
I'm surprised that a freeze dryer wasn't near the top or even ON your list. To that, I would also add - if you have access to timber - a rocket stove, particularly for a small number of people.
I am buying a vesta heater/ means of emergency cooking. Because of y'all. I am also buying a small pressure cooker to be able cook on that cooker. That will be awesome. A roast 45 minutes till fork tender. Frozen chicken & dumpings 20mins. Sounds like a great thing to have.
Rec’d my Jase Case the other day - very easy to fill out the form. My wife also applied for one. Also have 4 of the Vesta heater / cookers. After assembling and testing one, purchased three more and a good amount of the chafing fuels. Word of caution - make sure you get the 2 free fuels in each box of the Vesta heaters - two of the boxes were missing them and Instafire shipped me the cans upon speaking with their rep. I haven’t had any issues with my purchases as I had researched them and pretty much rec’d what I expected. I should test out some of the long term storage food but I am hesitant becuase they are for emergencies. The other issue is that let’s say I don’t like one particular or even two of the choices I purchased - that doesn’t mean they are all going to have the same issue - and plus, I can use them for barter. Even Berkey - I know there has been an issue, but my water tastes so much better with the black filters. I used one set for over five years - I could not get them to fail the red dye test.
a large regret I have was purchasing Camping Water containers for storing water. They may work for a weekend camping but they cannot stack or be placed anywhere in my place easily once filled with water. Would recommend spending extra money for long term water storage containers, even if it is just for camping. They are made better and will not leak on there sides like most of the "camping water containers" do.
Oh my gracious 😮 I wish that you knew how nutritious the bones in salmon are. They are soft and easy to mash and put in fish chowder - you do not even feel/taste them. Very nutritious! I encourage you to research that.

Garden👍 look into red wiggler worm bin for the castings not hard to get them to thrive and the worm castings (manure) are great for your garden and another worth while not hard is called bio charr it can if done right fertilize a garden for up to a 1.000 years yes for our great great great great grandchildren💪👍😁😎🙏😇
I was raised with canned salmon and, because of the bones and skin, I have never eaten salmon once I got the choice. It's the one salmon I can't stand. Never force kids to eat food they don't like. 😢
I bought that Vesta heater and was very disappointed! I had it in a room on my porch that is well insulated and connected to the house through a door that was open. I ran the fuel out and the temp rose about 2 degrees. I have bought other means to heat a small space and all them leave a lot to be desired! I could put them all in one room but then there wouldn't be any walking space.
I think the canned salmon that has the bones in it has much more flavor than the ones that don't. Not only that but they tend to be a much better deal and the only bones you need to take out are the big ones. That is the only way can salmon was when I was growing up
I suppose I regret that the backpacks I purchased to become bug out bags were camouflage. Knowing what I know now I probably would have purchased something a little more basic in appearance. Camouflage might be great when actually in the wilderness, but it's getting to the wilderness when they can really stand out.

I live in a very cold climate so bought my child a bed tent, and boy is it awesome! It's always warm in there!
I have a tip for everyone, remember to check that there is either cranberry juice or lingonberry juice in the pantry, because it works as a good preventive measure against urinary tract infections. I have worked in elderly care and every autumn when the weather starts to cool down, we offer every resident a glass of lingonberry juice in the morning and often it is also offered at dinner. cranberries and lingonberries can also be crushed a little and served with food.
I dont think Cranberry cures the infection, it just causes the urine not to be so painful
Save the clean corn silk from fresh corn. Dry & store it. Corn silk tea also releases enzymes that can combat uti’s as well.
@@annettechoate2647 Research results show that natural products cranberry and lingonberry juice can prevent urinary tract infections. In older women, cranberry juice is as effective as trimethoprim antibiotic prophylaxis. The power of the juices is due to the fact that they prevent the E. coli bacteria from sticking to the bladder wall.
Yes, these help to change the pH of urine, making difficult for some types of bacteria to grow.
@Pete heikkinen so true and I love both.
Important to note: you do not need to be a church member to buy from the lds home storage centers!!
For going in person, They are staffed by volunteers and often have limited hours, but there is also the website
I was just about to post the same info! I found the food to be excellent, most if not all in #10 cans, and the staff friendly (They never asked about which church I went to, or anything) and helpful! Prices were good, but they did have limited hours. Recommend calling for open times, as the one near me varied it's hours on a day to day basis...
I did go once, last year. Nice folks.
what is website? Thanks
Their prices are much higher than compared to others
Canned salmon can be mixed up as is to make salmon patties, the bones are soft and mash easily (calcium), the skin is free of scales and contains Omega 3. I add dried onions, parsley, sesame seeds, finely diced celery and/or red bell pepper, 1 egg per can, cracker crumbs and a little evaporated milk. My cats get the broth from the can. Pan fry in olive oil or coconut oil and voila! Tasty and healthy.
You and I have had different experiences with the bones in canned salmon.
I have also tried boneless canned salmon. It costs more, but was delicious and convenient.
My biggest regret was spending so much on those prepackaged containers of food from certain companies. They are horrible tasting and not even good calories. 5 gallon buckets that I make myself are the best. ❤️👍🇺🇲
I like some of the meals intended for camping, where you just add hot water. When I lived in a place with frequent power outages, they were really handy to have.
They're meant for backpackers and camping so they actually taste pretty good, since the manufacturers know the food is likely to get eaten instead of betting stored long term for some future catastrophe. (Mountain House is one of the most popular brands, but there are others.)
Short term, the freeze dried items are great, but I wouldn't rely on them for 20 or 30 years. We tried to cycle through our freeze dried camping items in about 3 years or so (most had use by dates much longer).
I almost ordered some of those, glad I didn't. One reason was they seemed to be mostly carbohydrates. So I have purchased a few from grocery store of brands I have used and know we like, like Knorr, to use as a get me by until I can set up my cooking-without-power spot.
@@KellyS_77 I really enjoy the mountainhouse ready meals from Walmart but recently I saw a video on RUclips about the best survival food and they kept saying that Peak refuel is the good stuff , so I picked up a bunch of those
Bought a dehydrator for $39 and it can make anything that are in those expensive ready made meals and they taste way better and no worries about sodium and toxic additives!
I have a few of those buckets, too! I thought it they worked by just adding hot water, like camp freeze-dried meals, but you need to have them on heat for quite some time. Taste is okay, imo. The good thing about them is I won't steal from them at any point, like I might do with my other preps. 😂😅 Plus, I got an insane deal on them, so I don't mind if they're not perfect. Just have to make sure we know what's in store if we need to use them.
I once bought a combo ax/saw tool (one handle - 2 tools) that was dangerous since the ax would pop off the handle while in use. Now I just have a small hatchet and a folding saw.
The best purchase was buying the Bluetti AC200MAX and the 2 batteries as our electric company just announced the prime-time use rates. The AC200MAX can also power my fridge and furnace if the power goes out. I love it when my preps can be used in my daily life - those preps are the most useful. Another good purchase was the Vesta heater/stove. I can heat cans of soup and warm a room at the same time.
I love our Berkey, our power station and for Christmas I got my Contingency medical kit which is like Jace. I can’t really think of buyers regret per say, except not buying enough of something when it was cheap. Like $30 Augason whole egg powder. Who knew!?
HSN (Home Shopping Network) has Augason Farms Whole Egg Powder - 72 servings for $30.95. Amazon is $65 today. I just bought 2 cans and there is a $10 coupon for first time buyers.
I wish we could hear your regretted items!
I think for me, it is the little, cheap things, especially stuff I bought early on that I justified as “good enough” but really isn’t. If you are sure it meets a specific need, then make sure you buy something reliable. All of the “it’s just a few dollars” items added up to be quite a few dollars.
This. Completely. My initial preps from years ago have almost all been replaced when they fell apart. I bought a cheap generator that was too small because it was inexpensive, not understanding a larger quality one would do so much more in the long run.
Hi Guys.
Great video. Particularly the message "Use what you buy NOW".
All too often I see and hear people complaining about the cost of something, only to find that it's been purchased and then not used.
Off grid power, for example.
People say it's expensive, or it isn't sufficient to meet their needs.
But if they started with a small system, then used the power generated to off set their current usage, thus saving them money on their current bills, they could expand their system with the money they saved.
Keep up the good work.
Many thanks.
I love it! "Make sure we don't buy ...crap"! Lol! You are a hoot!
Wow, what a "clear and to the point video". Thanks.
So many prepper channels that are taking advantage of all of our fears while they are being compensated. Thank you for your honesty.
Haven't regretted anything yet. I just purchased 2 of the Vesta heaters like yours and hybrid flashlights. Good quality items. Thank you for recommending them. I love your channel. I'm binge watching older videos wishing I had found your channel sooner.
Buy the cheaper water filter & then run it through the better 1. It's cheaper to clog the cheap ones then the expensive ones. Expensive will last longer
I'm still recovering emotionally (and financially) from my backyard shed being broken into (the wall was kicked in) and cleaned out by the homeless person thats been squatting in the vacant house next door. Tents, sleeping bags, blankets, Coleman stove, solar oven, ice chests, lanterns...everything. Well, except long term food which I keep inside for temperature control reasons. Gold for a homeless person, I guess. So I was wiped out, which really sucks, BUT! the good news is I have the opportunity to try to buy everything again with the decades of experience and lessons learned to guide my purchases. And some homeless squatter got a big leg up on survival. So its a win-win, I guess. Just wish it felt that way.
@@TheProvidentPrepper It does help, knowing it will be used for good, however... If the person had just let me know they had need of warmth and a stove, I would have likely given it to them. They didn't have to kick in my shed!
I sympathize with your loss & disappointment & admire your determination to look for The Good. 💓👏💓👏💓
It was theft. Sorry, homeless or not, it was theft
Your homeowners Insurance will cover it !
@@npeco1 I agree, and I reported it as such. The cops don't seem to care. They wouldn't even send out an officer; I had to file a report online. So I'm stuck, trying to make the best of a bad situation.
Nothing yet..just figured when all I could get was the cheap items, then started getting better items to replace them, I saved the cheap stuff to donate to my neighbors in an emergency.
The BEST prepper gear I have in my back pack, I have used the MOST, is MONEY, $20 bills. Absolutely best prep I ever had.
I like your advice on dual purpose items. I ordered a led desk light from Amazon not really realizing that it is 5 volt with usb plug. In a grid down situation it is much more efficient to run dc lights and not use the power wasting inverter.
Knowledge is power. Fancy gear isn't going to save you. Learn the basics first. How to find and purify water, build a shelter and aquire food. In my travels in the backwoods to practice I've never seen an electric outlet in a tree.
Great talk! Important topic, too! As far as something In have bought that I regret, I'd have to say a couple of different "solar powered" cell phone battery power banks. The 3 various ones all have one thing in common: it takes several days to charge them, using the solar panel, under ideal conditions! Not good or even useful. Those are all one piece, with the cruddy solar cell on top. They're often orange colored, with a small flashlight built in.
Now, the latest one I got has a large, multi-panel solar array that folds out, and that one works great! So, learn from my mistakes!
Which one did you get ?
@@rnupnorthbrrrsm6123 the bad ones were from 3 different makers, having in common the one solar panel built into the top. The good one has 3 larger panels that fold out...sorry I don't remember the brand names at this point...
@@ColoGrayWolf thank you so much, I almost just bought a couple of those orange ones while placing an Amazon order! I'm glad I decided to wait...
@@customer5032 you're welcome, glad to save you a disappointment!

I love love love my All American Sun Oven! I rely daily on my Berkey and do not regret the purchase of it one bit. My Jackery gives me peace of mind that I can power lights and basic appliances during a power outage. I have switched to mainly USB rechargeable lights and use them and USB headlamps all of the time. I have a Mr. Buddy Heater for emergency back up heat and have been concentrating on any new purchases that I make to be ones that can serve me well during a disaster situation. My grain mill is a hand crank model and most small appliances that need replacing are those that are 12V and can be run off of my Jackery.
All American Sun Oven 👍 - I purchased mine in 2005 and have used it countless times. They've tweaked it a little bit ( bigger inside, sun dial) and upped the price.
Just received my vesta stove heater today!!! Really really excited!!! I ordered because of you all.The two of you talked about it on a previous video. Thanks for all you do
Purchased 3 Vesta Heaters to help keep the water pipes in our bathrooms from freezing next winter if our power goes out. Plan to stock up on the canned heat canisters this summer. We love the Vesta heaters/cookers. Very efficient and don’t take up much space.
Great video! I regret having purchased an inexpensive butane stove and then realizing that, for not that much more money, I could have purchased one that was certified as safe for indoor use. (I now have both kinds in my preps).
My butane stoves are UL listed for indoor use. We used these in a restaurant for cooking omelets.
We just did a grid down weekend and found our downfall was cooking. This Vesta heater is just what we need. Thank you
Salmon patties are great
I don't regret preps. I regret wastes of money.
So glad I put husband through 3 degrees in engineering! 2005 we paid off debt.
Next year we bought a house on a busline, husband rode the bus for less than gas or biked. Then we started getting the employer 401k match. Next year our older car was totalled. We became a one car family for 14+ yesrs. We refinanced the house and paid extra. We only carry a mortgage now and it's less than renting. No car payment since 2005! Said never again. Glad I stuck with that! Our 4 year old car paid off in 2005 turned 21 last month. 18 months ago bought a new car with cash.
Thanks for a video that helps sort out all the options that are available. Hope and I really like anything that recharges by solar panels. Power stations are a must in today's world with the uncertain & unstable grid. We use these all the time in our household. Thanks again for an informative video. So far, I can't say that we've regretting spending money on prepping supplies. Channels like yours helps us filter out the unneeded items.
Ya I bought a freeze drier should have just bought 4 grand worth of freeze dried food instead
Thank you so much for your videos!! We bought my mom a portable power unit in 2022 and a solar panel this past Christmas (2023). We just went through a short cold snap in Texas and I felt SO much better prepared than in 2021. I did figure out a couple of things that I want to add and your videos and straight forward information has been invaluable.
I actually do buy some items we don’t usually eat such as boxed Mac & Cheese. I want to have quick and easy items at hand. I love my Berkey and Mr. Buddy heater. I want a Freeze Dryer and Sun Oven, but haven’t budgeted for them yet. Great content, thanks.
Barb, I watched a YT video months ago that showed an easier way to cook M&C. Put the macaroni in a pot cover with water (about 1/2" of water over the top of the macaroni), then add your butter and milk and cook on the stove like that. You do have to stir more often but for me this is easier and faster. I was surprised how well it worked. Damn, I forgot to say put in the sauce/powder packet in it, too. Mix is all together and cook.
@@efzapp5457 Interesting. Thanks for sharing.
@@efzapp5457 Uses less water and less fuel...I'm going to try that soon.
@@kam2162 Thanks, just re-read my post and I forgot to say put the cheese packet in there, too. Just put everything in the pot and cook and stir.
My worst buyers remorse was solely due to not doing my homework. I paid to have a privacy fence put up before knowing I had to get permission to do so. I then had to pay to take it down - plus pay the city for the permit - before paying again to put it back up! #2 remorse was a hand crank generator. Yes it works as advertised, no issues with the quality of the product or the people selling it. But golly it's a lot of work when I could have spent just a little more to get a power bank. Now I have a power bank AND a hand crank generator - twice the money spent.
Hi Tooshie G, if your hand crank generator could be altered to use your legs/feet, like a bicycle generator, you might feel like it was more useful. Maybe somebody has already done it on RUclips?...
@@ColoGrayWolf my thought exactly. Mount it on a stationary bike or real one on a stand.
Weighted blankets. Cotton exterior with cold bead filler. Not cheap and mostly useless. Better to go with wool,or wool / mixed fibers. Washable, breathable, warm and cozy.
We got a weighted blanket for our child whom is austic. It works well for children with this disorder to help them feel safe and calm. I would not recoment them for small children.
I bought an Eton Sidekick solar & crank powered radio and if I was using it in the USA it would be a good product. The issue I’ve run into is the radio is tuned in digitally and goes up by increments of ten. The emergency station in my area is AM 1233 but the radio only tunes into 1230 or 1240. It may only be a small thing but the radio was expensive and I’ve had to buy another product to meet my needs. If you’re living outside of the USA go with a different radio
My biggest mistake was spending $ & time to set up a whole house generator. Way to much fuel demand. Then switching to power stations and solar with a small inverter generator as a back up.
My best prep is that I have purchased (used & cheap) is Engel 12 volt refrigerators. I can keep frozen & refrigerator food cold indefinitely with a very small solar system.
FYI that’s how the salmon should be canned. I have cases of canned salmon.
I've found boneless canned salmon before. It's much better.
You two are pretty darn cute together. Thanks for the fun and informative video.
Mary
Very good video.
My buyers remorse, is some of the food I have stored. I have a lot of food allergies. I can’t eat chicken, pork and any kind of corn.
When I first started prepping, I bought some of these items. Thinking it would be better then nothing. Not knowing that you buy what you would normally eat. As I have been watching provident prepped,s,, I have learned how to purchase my food.. Thank you
Love your channel, no nonesense, keep it real prepping. 😁😁😁😁
Thank you for your video.
That brake bleeder thing for vacuuming jars. Broke three of them before my hand gave out too.
I wouldn't even recommend them for emergencies.
Now I understand there are quality tools "out there", and they may serve fine, but they are cheap plastic crap here.
Have a great one.
When I first started prepping, I knew NOTHING. I watched tons of vids, and I started buying "foreign made" junk...preferring quantity over quality. Consequently, I have what I'll call trinkets like cheap knives, multi-tools, Ferro rods, or cheaply made backpacks, etc. It took a while for me to invest in quality products like the Berkey, but eventually I was able to upgrade to better preps. I wish I'd just done that to begin with because I'd have saved money in the long run and my life could depend on it. I totally recommend to others to get the best quality things they can afford and not make the same mistakes I did. I would like to say though that at the time (C...d) I felt an overwhelming compunction to prepare while I still had time. Hindsight... Thanks for your help in my journey to be better prepared for the uncertainty of the coming days!
Those cheaper items could be used for bartering or to put in your car or bug out bag for an away from home emergency!
The urge to hoard useless crap is one many of us feel.
At least you could trade them away, like the other guy said?
Thanks for suggesting VESPA stove. I used your link to buy one. Just so happens I have a box of fuel that I got on clearance. And. We've had some power outages lately. I like that it cooks and acts as a heater.
It came today. I'm disappointed. I thought I could heat a kettle and run the heater on the side. Nope. It's either a stove or a room heater. I'll give it a try in the next few weeks tho, and see if it works otherwise.
I would like to see a video about what products you’ve had buyers remorse about and why.
Yes, please!
#mammafly They probably can't due to liability issues of naming products on the main video. We can say anything we want about bad products.
@@josephdone2713 what do you mean? People put their opinions about products all the time on RUclips. Plus if they weren’t “allowed” to voice their opinion wouldn’t that be an infringement of their freedom of speech?
Two causes for buyers remorse in my experience: buying a bad product, buying a good product that's wrong for your situation.
Well said and I couldn’t agree more.
Great video! I wish I planned my purchases better...paid too much for some but overall happy about what I have. I learned over time about slow and steady...
An Aladdin lamp when we live in earthquake country!
Off-topic here, but sis, you’re looking at him like he’s the cutest thing! Love it😊
The Hybrid light I bought after watching your video flickers a lot, and it doesn"t collapse (it was the puck style).
Great video Jonathan & Kylene like always. Happy trails!
Not a regret because it was the right decision at the time. When I could afford a better dehydrator, I passed the starter unit on
I’m sure I have bought a dud or two, but I return stuff even if it’s a hassle. While I prefer to shop local whereI have a face to face relationship with a merchant, one thing I appreciate the 30 day return policy if bought via Amazon Prime. But you have to be careful & not assume you can return it.

Yes all in the learning, the main thing is to have a backup. The marketing is not what you get....bad junk is major out there. I have been lied to about product only to find out what I was told was quality was nothing but junk. The best thing is go to sites that complain and note the pro and cons of whatever you bought.
I never look at the 5-star reviews anymore - only the critical reviews.
One of the best videos you guys have made 👍🏼. I spent way too much money on Efoods from Alex Jones. The food haven’t lasted over 25 years as advertised and started going bad within the first 5 years 😡. Live and learn. I consider it now as a donation to Alex’s legal fund 🤣.

I bought the Vesta and love it!
The Berkey lawsuit is about someone not doing their shopping correctly -
Berkey finally responded publicly - apparently what it boils down to is people purchasing filters from places such as Amazon and Amazon cross docks or stock I forget the term - anyways the filters that are not filtering as they suit claims apparently are not Berkey filters - they are wannabes - Berkey is claiming the filters in question are not coming from verified Berkey resellers
To be fair, that's pretty much exactly what I'd expect someone to claim if they got caught selling a crap product.
My buyers remorse is those tall glass pillar candles from Dollar Tree. Uffdah do they stink! They smell toxic…like burning plastic.
Only way I’d burn them is outside! 😷🥴
Other than that…I really have no regrets. Probably because I watch channels like yours that offer realistic advice! Thanks for that 😊
I have stocked up on a variety of fertilizers. I have a 20'x20' community garden plot and 2+ year supply of fertilizers.
Fantastic video, thanks. You are such a good resource.
You can eat the bones and skin in canned salmon. Think of the bones as crunchy treats, kind of like the blueberries in muffins. They are good for you.
I crush the bones in the can of salmon the skin 8s completely edible.
For MS and even neuropathy, may be a thiamine (Vit B1). Blood levels can’t be tested in US. Best kind supplement is TTFP or Benfotiamine.

I go back in memory to around the time I joined the church to a RS lesson about preparedness.
"I can sleep when the wind blows"
My biggest regret was an "inexpenive" 72-hour kit in a backpack. It seemed like a great way to get all the stuff for an emergency. Alas, it was filled with mostly ultra cheap junk. Wish I had that money
back again to spend on quality items.

I purchased an EDC flashlight that has a rechargeable battery that recharges via USB. What I didn't realize is that the USB cable that connects to the flashlight connects with a magnet. I discovered that it's really difficult to get it to connect properly to the flashlight, so most of the time it's dead in the water because the connection wasn't connected exactly right.
I bought an electric/portable tire inflator that ended up being crap. Thankfully it wasn't too expensive.
I admit, i was caught up in the moment... and feared a lockdown or some event that I needed to have it.
Mine was not a tool, it was a food- peanut butter pretzels, jars of PB, and jars of peanuts. I was thinking about the protein, but it all went rancid. I switched to powdered PB instead, which has a much longer shelf life but is much more expensive.
How long did you hold onto it for the peanut butter to go rancid?
Wow thank you!! I love my sun oven too, I think bread was meant to be cooked this way!!
Smaller solar power packs for camping. Bought a total of 10 and 8 quit after being rained on. Not soaked or submerged. Just rained on. How can you advertise being used in an emergency, when they are ruined by a sprinkle?
I'm surprised that a freeze dryer wasn't near the top or even ON your list. To that, I would also add - if you have access to timber - a rocket stove, particularly for a small number of people.
What about the freeze dryer, grain mill and dehydrator? I thought for sure, those would be on your list.
I am buying a vesta heater/ means of emergency cooking. Because of y'all. I am also buying a small pressure cooker to be able cook on that cooker. That will be awesome. A roast 45 minutes till fork tender. Frozen chicken & dumpings 20mins. Sounds like a great thing to have.
Absolutely wonderful information. Thank you
Rec’d my Jase Case the other day - very easy to fill out the form. My wife also applied for one. Also have 4 of the Vesta heater / cookers. After assembling and testing one, purchased three more and a good amount of the chafing fuels. Word of caution - make sure you get the 2 free fuels in each box of the Vesta heaters - two of the boxes were missing them and Instafire shipped me the cans upon speaking with their rep.
I haven’t had any issues with my purchases as I had researched them and pretty much rec’d what I expected. I should test out some of the long term storage food but I am hesitant becuase they are for emergencies. The other issue is that let’s say I don’t like one particular or even two of the choices I purchased - that doesn’t mean they are all going to have the same issue - and plus, I can use them for barter. Even Berkey - I know there has been an issue, but my water tastes so much better with the black filters. I used one set for over five years - I could not get them to fail the red dye test.
a large regret I have was purchasing Camping Water containers for storing water. They may work for a weekend camping but they cannot stack or be placed anywhere in my place easily once filled with water. Would recommend spending extra money for long term water storage containers, even if it is just for camping. They are made better and will not leak on there sides like most of the "camping water containers" do.
Good to know. I was just going to buy a few.
God Bless all. Thank you great video.
Love your vids. Always look forward to the next one. All are helpful. Go Cowboys!
Oh my gracious 😮 I wish that you knew how nutritious the bones in salmon are. They are soft and easy to mash and put in fish chowder - you do not even feel/taste them. Very nutritious! I encourage you to research that.
Yes - Thank you!
Love you guys, appreciate the advice!
Thank you for providing the links to these items.
I bought a Vesta after watching your video. Another prep for survival in the winter.

I have the Vesta indoor space heater too!
I was raised with canned salmon and, because of the bones and skin, I have never eaten salmon once I got the choice. It's the one salmon I can't stand. Never force kids to eat food they don't like. 😢
So how would you store the Jase case long term....vacuum seal?
This was a great video! Thank you
I bought that Vesta heater and was very disappointed! I had it in a room on my porch that is well insulated and connected to the house through a door that was open. I ran the fuel out and the temp rose about 2 degrees. I have bought other means to heat a small space and all them leave a lot to be desired! I could put them all in one room but then there wouldn't be any walking space.
@@TheProvidentPrepper My room was a 12X10 so I see it has some serious limitations. I haven't tried to cook on it though.
Buy once, cry once!
I think the canned salmon that has the bones in it has much more flavor than the ones that don't. Not only that but they tend to be a much better deal and the only bones you need to take out are the big ones. That is the only way can salmon was when I was growing up
Same. I've rarely had salmon or mackerel that had no bones.
And those bones are so soft you can crush with a fork, added calcium !
I would have been super happy to find salmon for $1
Lol, I did like her but just one can, full price; thought it was rotten and threw it away. 🤦🏽
Great video as always. We are looking for a generator for all year around. Do you have a video showing what to buy in case of emergencies. Thank you
I suppose I regret that the backpacks I purchased to become bug out bags were camouflage. Knowing what I know now I probably would have purchased something a little more basic in appearance. Camouflage might be great when actually in the wilderness, but it's getting to the wilderness when they can really stand out.
My kids lived in a state that adds several chemicals to their water supply and berkey took all of it out.
No, no, no, no I disagree that chocolate is only a nice to have. It is A MUST FOR SURVIVAL!!!!! LOL!!!!!
Your "risk evaluation" is also known as a Probable Risk Assessment (PRA). There is an entire industry, methodologies, and resources committed solely to professional PRA. Many government agencies, domestically and abroad, hire corporate "think tanks" to imagine various scenarios and develop response action plans. This information is sometimes available to the general public and free on the internet.
