People should start consider using a bidet. Sure stock up on toilet paper for longterm if you don't have water but assuming your utilities still work use a bidet they have some you can add on to your current toilet.
I am 65 and retired and live in a 62 and older or tardo building. I am more physically able than most of my fellow residents and I live on the third floor. I have always been stocked up on food and necessary supplies in case. I have been majorly stocking up on more food and sanitary supplies. NO ONE in my building is even THINKING about what to do when SHTF. I will help where I can but since these idiots spend all their money on cigarettes, beer, lottery tickets and the casinos, I am not going to be very helpful. I know it sounds awful, but you need to watch the Twilight Zone Episode, Season 3, The Shelter. One of the best episodes because it mirrors reality.
I keep a spray bottle of 1/2and 1/2 vinegar to water. I spray a flannel sheet or t-shirt cut into squares for when I urinate. Sometimes I spray a wash cloth to freshen up underarms and private parts. No, you won't smell like vinegar.
Great video! A couple of years ago, for whatever reason, I bought a book called Alone and Unafraid by Jason Hanson, a retired CIA officer. Lots of info on how to survive a crisis. I learned then how to make solid waste toilet with a 5 gallon bucket, trash bags, and a piece of that split foam pipe insulation, and picked up one of those handicap toilets at a thrift store. So when my plumbing backed up, and it took 10 days to get it fixed, I was prepared. He suggested using kitty litter after each solid waste session to control the smell. I am disabled, so I cannot safely go outside to pee, and that is what I used the potty chair for. Just hung a plastic trash bag off of it for the tp and wipes. I have a toilet paper holder stand that I placed by it and used the wall hung tp holder in the bathroom for the solid waste, plastic bag hung from it for tp. The cover that came with handicap toilet worked well for the solid waste bucket. I used a standard walker to stabilize the bucket. I also bought a book called The Lost Ways, with all kinds of info on how pioneers survived. I highly recommend both books!
You can now get TP as a compressed towel. Just add a tiny bit of water and believe me it's a tiny bit. Fairly cheap and take up barely any space at all. Strong and safe. Look on e-bay. That's where I got mine. Also good for washing your face and body. Lots of used. Thanks 4 all your help. We need to help each other and you guys do.
I bought pandemic paper towels, dollar tree has bar cloths in white I purchased about 40 or 60 of these when the paper shortage happened, I’m still using them and wash them up with bleach and have had the same 2 packs of paper towels since this began. I’m no dummy I did pick up a few more packs of paper towels over the summer when supply came back and stored it!
Make sure you have bags that will hold all of the mess from that potty. Otherwise it will become a big stinky mess that will cause some health issues .
@@reneebrown2968 I have cedar, litter and those absorbent gel bags. What do you recommend. I have the chair and supplies but have never used it ( thankfully).
@@patriotchic3364 having used mine during a storm i will say unless you separate urine from poo there is going to be a smell issue. But if you keep it separated i would use kitty litter until i ran out then use the cedar. You should be able to fashion a urine diverter for nothing( empty bleach bottle or something like it) and that alone will stop most all the smell. The kitty litter will not only help dry the poo but covers the smell up. Cedar will help mask the smell. P.S. the gel absorbers are great for not letting urine slosh but useless otherwise. Don't bother wasting your money. And don't overload your bags. Lord knows you don't want to spill any of the contents. Stock 5 times more bags than you think you could use. They do go quickly
Crush cans? Why? Clean them and reuse them. Tuna cans are perfect for buddy burners. Make small rocket stoves out of them and small ovens. Take out the bottom and fit a bunch together to make a thin walled chimney. Small ones are great alcohol stoves. There are too many uses for them. Pop cans can be melted down and poured in molds.
Thus far, we have the 5 gallon bucket with the seat & lid with bags and pine pellets. Plenty of vinegar, but very little bleach at the moment...thanks for all the ideas! Will work on those this week!☮️

I don't know if you have touched on what to have in the event of a tornado. Listening to the governor of Kentucky speak, I realised, there are things one should have in their basement or storm shelter. Things I had not previously thought of. Copy of drivers license, deed to your home, insurance policies, photos of all family members, extra medications, a book with all your phone numbers, etc. There are towns where every government building is gone. In that situation, would you remember how many mg of a certain medication you or a loved one take? One write up said debris flew up to 30,000 feet in the air due to these tornadoes. Your personal information could land in another state. I hope you will touch on this, if you haven't. Merry Christmas. God bless your family

Use redwood chips from pet store, grocery, etc. (big bag under $10). Put handful chips in bottom of bag and when you do # 2 into plastic bag (use double bags), put big hand full wood chips on top and it's ready for next use. this will cause fecal composting which can safely be put into the ground or county land fill.

Re: your kleenex/tissues - open the side and slip out the stack of tissues. With a serrated knife cut the stack in half. Put back in and tape the end.

We're buying an Old Farm that has dependence on solar panels its off-grid it always will be there's no electricity out that way.

So our toughest find is going to be a drivable snow blower because our driveway is a one mile .7 yikes we will grow into it I've been off grid before but I wasn't as far away from civilization and I was a lot younger and healthier but I know I'm going to be healthier just getting out there. It's the people and the chemicals that have gotten to me I love your common sense videos like this it reminds a person to think.

Please make sure you have as much dry wood as possible. I have a feeling we are all in for a doozy of winter. Most of the indicators we watch for with wildlife are showing it may be a heck of a winter.
Put a tent over the beds and tuck it in.. sleep in sleeping bags. Heat up alabaster fruit or clay baking dishes not to hot but hot wrap and tuck under the covers will keep you warm... You tube has wire solar heaters with wire or cans and make them out of old windows and two by fours and paint flat black.. this will produce heat to come into the rooms.. when night comes.... pack the window with any kind of insulation you can find... quilts or foam or packing bubbles are great. If their is a pouch double wrap it in plastic and the heat that will come into that space can be pulled into the house... You Tube a girl is doing that and keeping her home hot all night... Also, water could freeze.. get a solar panel or use black hoses and make a solar heater for hot water or just to keep the pipes from freezing. and run the water on a timer every 45 minutes should do it... I will be praying for you.... was snow bound in the mountains for weeks without any help and it was cold....This works.... I did have a fireplace which helped with cooking, heating rocks, and staying warm at night. Good luck and God Bless..
My daughter called me a hoarder and crazy until the pandemic hit. Now she admitted i might have a point. 😆. And had to come to my house for Clorox wipes. She looked at every store in 3 counties. Crazy like a fox
Haha😁🌼my Daughter called me a Hoarder lots ofTimes .That's okay with me!I know better👍.if SHTF happens she will be glad I have what I have in the House.
@@stevecraig3004 yep. But I'm very happy that i could help her out. She and my grandkids are the reason i still prepare. For them and thr next generation. I don't kid myself about living forever or even another 20 years. But at least i know i have left them a way to survive come what may.
We also made a “special toilet” with an old lawn chair to use when we go camping and a few times we had to drag it out to use at home and it was/is a lifesaver! I learned a lot so thanks, I’ve subbed! Great content. Stay safe and God bless! 🙏🇺🇸
All great info! After a lifetime of camping and off grid recreation we have learned a thing or 2 about life without modern conveniences. You covered the hurdles very very well! Many folks around here still spend a large portion of time living in a residence without plumbing. (Lake cabins and hunting shacks. ) outhouses are quite common as well as composting toilets. I make homemade laundry soap. This is an easy way to store years of laundry detergent in a space smaller than a 5 gallon bucket.
The Provident Prepper I make the liquid. Borax, washing soda, and fels-naphtha. I used mine in my front load all the time. I decided to switch to a high efficiency top load when we bought our new set. I wasn't over happy with my front load. We had gasket issues multiple times. The kids tore it twice and I had to replace it. I decided to play it safe! I've been making soap for about 8 years now. It saves a ton of money!
I made the green latrine in my backyard for the males. I dug a pit and filled it with gravel then put bricks with holes in them on top then put a broken wheelbarrow behind it like a urinal. I then got some mothballs and hand sanitizer for it.
I was so excited when I heard that you guys were going to be part of this collaboration. Like I said over a year ago when I discovered you. You are the university courses of prepping. Thank you for the info. I am going to see how I can stabilize the bucket I bought for using as a potty. It is green so that it is never confused with my food grade buckets. I am going to line it with heavy duty bags and pore cat litter I am collecting in my storage. but now I am thinking I should get another. one to use for urine and another to use for feces. in fact, i know I am going to do that..
The Provident Prepper thank you for those kind remarks. I had a wonderful childhood, a lot of hard work but it helped me in life.we picked acres of corn by hand with an old tractor and wagon, cut hay by hand for years and raised our own animals.we got electricity the year I started first grade. After that dad put an inside toilet and running water , our lives changed because of all the new things but I’m not sure that was all for the good
From Canada I have been living in Mexico for 47 years. So different. Lived for years in a palm leaf shack. Don't need any modern shit at all but nice to have it.
Flushable camping toilet...I bought ours years ago. I set it up in our bathroom recently with the water & chemicals added as a "just in case" toilet...due to the need for separating bathroom waste if there were a power outage or EMP event. We only have one bathroom in our house (for 2 of us). We are both tall so I set the camping toilet on a medical step stool (holds up to 400 pounds) to make the height more like a regular height toilet. Hope this info might help someone else.
@@justwannasay5454 I was looking for a name on my portable flushing toilet & could not find a name on the toilet or anywhere in the instruction booklet either. I bought it many years ago on Amazon. It holds 3 gallons of water on the top portion & 5 gallons of waste on the bottom portion. You put liquid chemicals in the bottom portion of it. You might want to go on Amazon and type "flushing camping toilet" in the search bar. My husband & I are both tall & I just could not see us doing the 5 gallon bucket with a toilet seat on top!
For those who plan to keep separate their urine from the feces, I want to ask if there is any problem to pouring the urine down the drain. It just goes into the sewer and urine is clean, right?
I still can’t find disinfectants anywhere. No issue finding bleach here. TP neither but there is a 1 pkg limit per store. I literally have to go to multiple stores to stock up now. It takes an afternoon but I’m pretty stocked up on most things now.
I used my DIY emergency bucket system a few months ago while waiting for my plumber to come fix my stopped up toilet. Because of pandemic, I couldn’t just go to local store or restaurant.
@@TheProvidentPrepper it worked great. I used the five gallon bucket with a pool noodle taped to the top (in a plastic bag covering all, of course) for solid, liquid went into a glass jar. I decided to go ahead and get the Luggable Loo seat for the bucket, and picked up a big funnel from the auto parts section of the 99 cent store to help with the liquids.
That's what we used when I a child living with my grandparents on their farm and no running water..we had a well that a bucket on a rope went down in to get water..wow times have changed
Do have a video that addresses the issues if you’re some place with flooding. Like you’re okay in your home but toilet use might become questionable, and dealing with not only the alternatives you speak of here but disposing waste when digging a hole in the ground for a while might be problematic?
Here is why there was a toilet paper issue. People went to work and they use the offices toilet paper so they didn’t keep that much at home because they were probably gone 10 hours a day. Didn’t need so much toilet paper at home once everybody had to stay home, they had to buy their own toilet paper And they had no idea how much they used other peoples toilet paper and they didn’t know how long they were gonna be cooped up in their own house so they bought way too much toilet paper. I am a member of the Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter-day Saints as you guys are and we know that Many many years ago the profit had advised us to keep a year supply of food, clothing, and fuel when possible. Our family of 10 individuals had 18 Costco packs of toilet paper already stored in our food storage when the pandemic hit so we didn’t have to worry about toilet paper, we already had a year supply and we knew what your supply was because we homeschool the children. The only person who left the house was dad everybody else ate and went potty at home before the pandemic.
I cannot find anyone addressing what people who do not own land should do, lack of storage , is renting a storage unit ok? concerned if we cannot physically leave the house ?
Great video and educational information. For "Disasters Literally Stink..." you need to add not to use vinegar on tiling grout, as it disintegrates grout.

@@icecreamladydriver1606 I understand that you were saying get surgery and I just don't want to be having surgery I just feel like if I did want it I would decide in private and my post was saying not everyone has the same health issues and some people use a lot more toilet paper than the average person everybody's issues of what they may or may not need will very in every situation
I have a question of the group. I saw an army movie where the latrine was cleaned out, put in 55 gallon drums, doused in fuel and burned. First off that is a waste of fuel but in an emergency..., is there some way of burning your poop without using Fuel?
@@nude_cat_ellie7417 I have 2 composting toilets I will install outside. I already have a urinal set up up against the fence. I will be using pine/cedar shavings to deal with any smells. I want a big bin to dump those into as they fill up. Age it for a couple of years and you have dirt you can use. It is a lot of work but you never have to buy fertilizer for your garden again.
I went through Huracane maria, so i know a few things about this topic considering i was without water for 3 months...I had stored water...But we got hit by Irma first that knocked out power and water...2 weeks later we got hit by maria...I gave my bottled water to my neighbors because i had a berkey filter...I collected rain water to flush the toilets,shower and to drink filtering it through my berkey...Moving water for every task is a pain in the butt...Today i have a wind, solar and rain harvesting system that runs on 12v from wind and solar...I have been using this system for about 3 months now and it works great...Having running water during a disaster will be a huge time saver...Now i really feel prepared.
Back in the day, there were no toilets. If indoor plumbing stops working, stop pooping in the house! Pretty simple. Dig a hole and empty your bed chamber pot THAT has a lid every morning. Lid the hole, too. Sheesh! Don't bag it in the house! EWE!
Actually the reason for shortage was many fold... The types of TP used at businesses schools etc are NOT the same size as home TP and the TP companies not ready to switch over to other production for more ppl at home. Those work/school toilet trips not happening more ppl at home using toilet paper... Then I have the news constantly showing empty shelves and talking about TP runs... Ofc going to CAUSE panic buying .. it wasn't just crazy ppl overstocking 🙄🤪
In Hawaii it was crazy but we ship everything in. So if any hurricanes close the ports we only have a limited supply. When corona hit, everybody went to the store. 🤣. I know China had stopped truck deliveries to Wuhan for a short period.
you can burn waste.and you can compost waste separately from the vegetable waste.use some pine pellets and a bit of lime and compost the waste.not really a big deal.people compost chicken crap
I thought you would talk about how to dispose of the poop if need be, not just to bag it what good does that do, eventually it's going to become a big problem. What if it's a long term situation with no toilets working is there no chemicals to buy to desolve waste bi-products? You talk about stocking up toilet paper that's not important if there's no toilets running or working.
I am offended from the notice to shoppers you read. We were new to prepping and that particular time is when we started to prep. We are not idiots Tennessee.
You should only be offended if it is applicable to you. Prepping is different from panic buying. They buy random hordes and cannot use most of it. New preppers getting important supplies is completely different from stabbing people for toilet paper! Kudos to you for beginning to prep. Better late than never. I don’t think people like you were included in that notice. Many blessings and happy prepping!
Molindia Walker get some thicker skin iam shur she was not talking about you personally and iam glad you have been awakened iam a prepper also stay safe from Canada
@@nicolegonzalezmarrero629 yes good info. I did that, they started to tell folks to disaster stock for 3mo. I have mobility issues & was a little under weather when all this 1st started. I have limited resources & shop monthly. By the time pay day came everything was gone & was grabbing what I could from what was available. Taught me to try & cover basics & prep what I can. A month or 2 if that's all you can do is better than nothing. I am special needs with 2 special needs animals. One animal has special diet that's life or death his food is near 100$ bucks. So just trying to stock for our basic needs is a challenge. Again thanks for the info
@@TheProvidentPrepper I thought there were only four!!!! Full scheduled parents! Thank you for taking time out to make all these videos. I have learned so much from you both.
If you pour lime powder over the poop when you bury it it will break it down faster as well as balance the PH in the soil. Great video!
People should start consider using a bidet. Sure stock up on toilet paper for longterm if you don't have water but assuming your utilities still work use a bidet they have some you can add on to your current toilet.
Stock pile kitty litter. It can be people litter. Easier to dispose of waste and helps with stench abatement
I didn’t know this :( thanks for the advice. I knew one use for cat litter - to sprinkle it under the wheels of a car in icy conditions.

I can guess that is the show where the family that saved had their door knocked on many times by those that didn't save.
I keep a spray bottle of 1/2and 1/2 vinegar to water. I spray a flannel sheet or t-shirt cut into squares for when I urinate. Sometimes I spray a wash cloth to freshen up underarms and private parts. No, you won't smell like vinegar.

Thank you both for doing this video its so important to be ready God Bless you and your family
All great info! After a lifetime of camping and off grid recreation we have learned a thing or 2 about life without modern conveniences. You covered the hurdles very very well! Many folks around here still spend a large portion of time living in a residence without plumbing. (Lake cabins and hunting shacks. ) outhouses are quite common as well as composting toilets.
I make homemade laundry soap. This is an easy way to store years of laundry detergent in a space smaller than a 5 gallon bucket.
The Provident Prepper I make the liquid. Borax, washing soda, and fels-naphtha. I used mine in my front load all the time. I decided to switch to a high efficiency top load when we bought our new set. I wasn't over happy with my front load. We had gasket issues multiple times. The kids tore it twice and I had to replace it. I decided to play it safe! I've been making soap for about 8 years now. It saves a ton of money!
Get a large bag of kitty litter for covering that poop so it doesn't stink to high heaven. Or you can use soil or wood shavings.
I made the green latrine in my backyard for the males. I dug a pit and filled it with gravel then put bricks with holes in them on top then put a broken wheelbarrow behind it like a urinal. I then got some mothballs and hand sanitizer for it.
Very GOOD INFO. keep up the AWESOME INFO. us Jones have to stay together.. just planted my fall garden.
Thank you for all the information!
States and federal agencies have stockpiled their stores, it wasn't the average citizen.
I was so excited when I heard that you guys were going to be part of this collaboration. Like I said over a year ago when I discovered you. You are the university courses of prepping. Thank you for the info. I am going to see how I can stabilize the bucket I bought for using as a potty. It is green so that it is never confused with my food grade buckets.
I am going to line it with heavy duty bags and pore cat litter I am collecting in my storage. but now I am thinking I should get another. one to use for urine and another to use for feces. in fact, i know I am going to do that..
Thank you
Good stuff! Super important!
I am saving up to get a bio-digestor or make one if I can find a couple of tanks. I can cook with methane.
Good info thanks guys!
I grew up without running water in the house or electricity. I know how to do with a lot less,
The Provident Prepper thank you for those kind remarks. I had a wonderful childhood, a lot of hard work but it helped me in life.we picked acres of corn by hand with an old tractor and wagon, cut hay by hand for years and raised our own animals.we got electricity the year I started first grade. After that dad put an inside toilet and running water , our lives changed because of all the new things but I’m not sure that was all for the good
Yep...yep...yep !!!
That's a bonus, you will know a lot of helpful hints
From Canada I have been living in Mexico for 47 years. So different. Lived for years in a palm leaf shack. Don't need any modern shit at all but nice to have it.

Excellent information. Thank you. Reading your links now. Just subscribed!
Flushable camping toilet...I bought ours years ago. I set it up in our bathroom recently with the water & chemicals added as a "just in case" toilet...due to the need for separating bathroom waste if there were a power outage or EMP event. We only have one bathroom in our house (for 2 of us). We are both tall so I set the camping toilet on a medical step stool (holds up to 400 pounds) to make the height more like a regular height toilet. Hope this info might help someone else.
What kind of flushable camping toliet is it?
@@justwannasay5454 I was looking for a name on my portable flushing toilet & could not find a name on the toilet or anywhere in the instruction booklet either. I bought it many years ago on Amazon. It holds 3 gallons of water on the top portion & 5 gallons of waste on the bottom portion. You put liquid chemicals in the bottom portion of it. You might want to go on Amazon and type "flushing camping toilet" in the search bar. My husband & I are both tall & I just could not see us doing the 5 gallon bucket with a toilet seat on top!
Great topic!
Fabric as toilet paper is terrific.
Thank you for the information about sanitation, ur very accurate we need help with that as much as food and water supplies 👏😊*
For those who plan to keep separate their urine from the feces, I want to ask if there is any problem to pouring the urine down the drain. It just goes into the sewer and urine is clean, right?
This is why we will be putting in an outhouse first thing, before we even build our house.
Great video, thanks!
Put some cat litter in those toilet buckets before using them. Then cover with more cat litter after use.
Free catalogues instead of cat litter for Kitty and you! When you order from a catalogue, lots of times they keep sending them !!
I still can’t find disinfectants anywhere. No issue finding bleach here. TP neither but there is a 1 pkg limit per store. I literally have to go to multiple stores to stock up now. It takes an afternoon but I’m pretty stocked up on most things now.
I live in so cal and love it,we are not short of anything.
How about now? You seen the ships parked off shore?
I used my DIY emergency bucket system a few months ago while waiting for my plumber to come fix my stopped up toilet. Because of pandemic, I couldn’t just go to local store or restaurant.
@@TheProvidentPrepper it worked great. I used the five gallon bucket with a pool noodle taped to the top (in a plastic bag covering all, of course) for solid, liquid went into a glass jar. I decided to go ahead and get the Luggable Loo seat for the bucket, and picked up a big funnel from the auto parts section of the 99 cent store to help with the liquids.
Where can you find the modified chair to stabilize the bucket? I really like that setup
Costco or Sams club have these same ones.
Great video thanks
So many excellent tips!
What about building an outhouse?
I can not go without a shower a day that's nasty not showing a week
Old fashioned out house
That's what we used when I a child living with my grandparents on their farm and no running water..we had a well that a bucket on a rope went down in to get water..wow times have changed
Do have a video that addresses the issues if you’re some place with flooding. Like you’re okay in your home but toilet use might become questionable, and dealing with not only the alternatives you speak of here but disposing waste when digging a hole in the ground for a while might be problematic?
Here is why there was a toilet paper issue. People went to work and they use the offices toilet paper so they didn’t keep that much at home because they were probably gone 10 hours a day. Didn’t need so much toilet paper at home once everybody had to stay home, they had to buy their own toilet paper And they had no idea how much they used other peoples toilet paper and they didn’t know how long they were gonna be cooped up in their own house so they bought way too much toilet paper. I am a member of the Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter-day Saints as you guys are and we know that Many many years ago the profit had advised us to keep a year supply of food, clothing, and fuel when possible. Our family of 10 individuals had 18 Costco packs of toilet paper already stored in our food storage when the pandemic hit so we didn’t have to worry about toilet paper, we already had a year supply and we knew what your supply was because we homeschool the children. The only person who left the house was dad everybody else ate and went potty at home before the pandemic.
I cannot find anyone addressing what people who do not own land should do, lack of storage , is renting a storage unit ok? concerned if we cannot physically leave the house ?
Purchasing a portable adult potty chair from a medical supply store or drug store now! It can fold and be placed in the trunk of the car. Hopefully.
That’s a great idea. I’m gonna get one soon and kitty litter. I already have cedar wood shavings that should help with the smell.
I did not buy t.p we had no need to but chocolate I did stock up on that.
If you are a Prepper....save extra for others, especially the old folks! ☮️❤️💥🌈🌎😇😇😇😇😇😇😇🐯🦁🦄🇺🇸
This is the exact video I needed lol
👍Thank you so much
Check out the documentary “Countdown to zero”! It’s scary!
thanks for the movie tip, just ordered on Netflix!
I love how all the new people came here because they woke up late. Good morning to ya.Welcome to Covid-19th Century.
Yep wish I had woken up a lot earlier
what do you do with your poop in the winter when the ground is solid ice.?
@@TheProvidentPrepper ah ok makes sense thank you for answering
Maybe a compost tumbler?
Great video and educational information. For "Disasters Literally Stink..." you need to add not to use vinegar on tiling grout, as it disintegrates grout.
Why not get a doggie Dooley? That and lye eliminates elimination.
You don't count on people that go number one every hour or every 30min yes it takes much more toilet paper for someone with health issues
Yes it does. Have you thought about having a bladder lift?
@@icecreamladydriver1606 not everyone wants to be chopped up Doctor's are not your friend and you can't live for ever you do you and that's it have a good day icecreamlady worry about your own health
@@tinasearcy4684 Sorry you didn't understand what I was saying as I was trying to be helpful because I do understand the problem of frequent trips to the bathroom.
@@icecreamladydriver1606 I understand that you were saying get surgery and I just don't want to be having surgery I just feel like if I did want it I would decide in private and my post was saying not everyone has the same health issues and some people use a lot more toilet paper than the average person everybody's issues of what they may or may not need will very in every situation
Please remember your needs will very (please)
So good
Who took your solar panels away?
I have a question of the group. I saw an army movie where the latrine was cleaned out, put in 55 gallon drums, doused in fuel and burned. First off that is a waste of fuel but in an emergency..., is there some way of burning your poop without using Fuel?
I imagine it would be flammable once it dried out 🤷♀️
@@nude_cat_ellie7417 I have 2 composting toilets I will install outside. I already have a urinal set up up against the fence. I will be using pine/cedar shavings to deal with any smells. I want a big bin to dump those into as they fill up. Age it for a couple of years and you have dirt you can use. It is a lot of work but you never have to buy fertilizer for your garden again.
Do toilets still flush if you're on city water?
No.
Wasn’t preppers that caused shortages, it was panickers!!!
👍🏻
High quality primer for sanitation.
I went through Huracane maria, so i know a few things about this topic considering i was without water for 3 months...I had stored water...But we got hit by Irma first that knocked out power and water...2 weeks later we got hit by maria...I gave my bottled water to my neighbors because i had a berkey filter...I collected rain water to flush the toilets,shower and to drink filtering it through my berkey...Moving water for every task is a pain in the butt...Today i have a wind, solar and rain harvesting system that runs on 12v from wind and solar...I have been using this system for about 3 months now and it works great...Having running water during a disaster will be a huge time saver...Now i really feel prepared.
@@TheProvidentPrepper I will be putting up a video soon
New sub
Back in the day, there were no toilets. If indoor plumbing stops working, stop pooping in the house! Pretty simple. Dig a hole and empty your bed chamber pot THAT has a lid every morning. Lid the hole, too. Sheesh! Don't bag it in the house! EWE!
Actually the reason for shortage was many fold... The types of TP used at businesses schools etc are NOT the same size as home TP and the TP companies not ready to switch over to other production for more ppl at home. Those work/school toilet trips not happening more ppl at home using toilet paper... Then I have the news constantly showing empty shelves and talking about TP runs... Ofc going to CAUSE panic buying .. it wasn't just crazy ppl overstocking 🙄🤪
Supply and manufacturing strained
In Hawaii it was crazy but we ship everything in. So if any hurricanes close the ports we only have a limited supply. When corona hit, everybody went to the store. 🤣. I know China had stopped truck deliveries to Wuhan for a short period.
you can burn waste.and you can compost waste separately from the vegetable waste.use some pine pellets and a bit of lime and compost the waste.not really a big deal.people compost chicken crap
Me watching my third video from them: I bet this family is LDS.
*Sees EFY shirt*
Yup
Ok I laughed 😂
Love the sign about morons...!
I thought you would talk about how to dispose of the poop if need be, not just to bag it what good does that do, eventually it's going to become a big problem. What if it's a long term situation with no toilets working is there no chemicals to buy to desolve waste bi-products? You talk about stocking up toilet paper that's not important if there's no toilets running or working.
Tko
Jonathan can't talk without his hands getting into it.
bleach is double triple the price
Keep your finger nails short
Yeah Why??
I am offended from the notice to shoppers you read. We were new to prepping and that particular time is when we started to prep. We are not idiots Tennessee.
You should only be offended if it is applicable to you. Prepping is different from panic buying. They buy random hordes and cannot use most of it. New preppers getting important supplies is completely different from stabbing people for toilet paper! Kudos to you for beginning to prep. Better late than never. I don’t think people like you were included in that notice. Many blessings and happy prepping!
Molindia Walker get some thicker skin iam shur she was not talking about you personally and iam glad you have been awakened iam a prepper also stay safe from Canada
@@nicolegonzalezmarrero629 yes good info. I did that, they started to tell folks to disaster stock for 3mo. I have mobility issues & was a little under weather when all this 1st started. I have limited resources & shop monthly. By the time pay day came everything was gone & was grabbing what I could from what was available. Taught me to try & cover basics & prep what I can. A month or 2 if that's all you can do is better than nothing. I am special needs with 2 special needs animals. One animal has special diet that's life or death his food is near 100$ bucks. So just trying to stock for our basic needs is a challenge. Again thanks for the info
