I like your advice on the neighbors and checking up on them. Eventually the goal is to save not just yourself but the community as well. A lesson I was taught as a child... "We ALL survive better together." Short of the planet exploding into dust I can't think of anything that my community can't deal with as long as we work together. Pettiness such as "if you don't share food I won't share water" doesn't happen here. We constantly help each other. My neighbors feed my animals when I'm out of town. They watch over my property. They help me in thousands of ways. Smart as I am, I don't know it all. They have knowledge I don't, skills I don't, and resources I sometimes need. A bigger group is not a liability. It's a huge asset. Many hands make light work or so they say. Well, it's true.
Well....it'd be pretty foolish for anyone to run a generator during a SHTF scenario, much less steal one from a neighbor who will be able to pinpoint where it went....lol
This is good information... I am a Federal LEO/Physical Security Officer, First Responder/SAR and Emergency Management Specialist who has responded to numerous disasters across the U.S.
This is very good advise. I will add that a prepared person/family will know their strengths and weaknesses before the emergency. That include know what your supplies are on hand and correcting any shortages before the time when it will be needed. After the emergency is over is a great time to review all the things that went well and thoses that went bad. Look at how you can improve on the positive things and correct all the bad things. I have survived two blizzards, two hurricanes, three tornadoes, two floods and several lighting storms doing a review of events after the emergency caused our family to be much better prepared when the next emergency came.
He said to check up on neighbors to see if they needed anything to see if maybe u could help one another... Not to advertise all u have... That's not contradicting to me.
I'm afraid of getting a generator because they must be run outside and they are loud. Doesn't matter that you didn't brag about having one. The whole neighborhood going to know anyway because of the noise. I was in the Texas disaster. Just get a 0 degree sleeping bag and lots of blankets. Worked for me. I'm such a lone wolf. God help me, people get on my nerves. I want to help my neighbors but once they are okay, I want to avoid them like the plague. Introvert life! I think I'd rather die in peace than live in discord.
Same here, darlin' Nowadays, people suck. All they do is complain, are negative, are lazy and useless. Too many females have the need to create drama cuz they are bored.....I hate that too, so I'd rather be alone. I am secure and like my own company and my dog's.....but people are so unstable, today.....scary.
I'm not sure about his 'take care of your neighbour' approach - sharing what you have with a bunch of people who never got prepared for the disaster might leave all of you with nothing. Admittedly, it's a difficult balance to find though.
I trust my neighbors about as far as I can throw my car. Remember, the unprepared have family and friends that are unprepared and the won't even think about paying you back never mind your survival. Out numbered by low life parasites. Low profile and well armed. The good finish last, if they finish at all. Pull your head out of the matrix; take the red pill.
I don't think getting to know and assess your neighbors needs to mean giving away your hard earned supplies. There is still value in chatting over the fence even if I have no intention of giving away food. However I think this is where rural vs urban really comes into play. The more rural I have lived, the more I have trusted and liked my neighbors.
I live in a big city(CA) and we’re all cramped. There are no “neighbors” maybe just a few people who’s names you kinda know...for me that’s 4-6 people. I have 2 young kids and my neighbors don’t. I will be opting out of asking neighbors if they need help. I will absolutely not put my children in harms way or make my family vulnerable.
I live rurally so we have five neighbors. I will definitely be offering help for that phycological advantage, and to suss out if they are a threat. Great to see you making video's again.
Every single person needs to take responsibility for themselves. If we are were prepared with at least the most basic supplies could mean surviving or not. It is just irresponsible not to. Depending on the government to bail you out in a huge disaster isn't going to happen, if you have children you have to prepare to save them. It is your job. The world would be a better place if people would just start now and getting prepared.
One of the stupidest problems in Texas and cause of senseless deaths, is the need for people to go somewhere during the storm. No matter the situation, people just can't stay in place until the danger is over. They go out during the floods in Hurricane Harvey, get stranded, and force friends and family out to rescue them. Some die coming to their aid. During ice storms, they can't resist going somewhere and wreck their cars, or car battery dies, and they get stranded. Some die. During fires, they drive through them to get to some destination. Learn to hunker down and wait. Not worth the risk. Fire, flood, Ice, hurricane; just hole up where you are and wait until safe to travel.
One of the best things you need to do is, buy stuff up before anything bad does happen and not make fun of those who are very very very very prepared, I get laughed at for things that I buy for a just in case of idea, but when people are fighting over things like food toilet paper , I'll be well fed and protected , .
I live in Texas and once the world defrosted and I could drive again I filled the gaps on the deficiencies of my preps. I only had a few deficiencies, but a week trapped with only what I already had taught me where I could improve. I hope the next time a joker is dealt I score 95 instead of 80. I doubt anyone can score 100% so I want to be good with most eventualities. That meant more mre type food because rice and beans take too much water and fuel when the tap doesn't work and cooking outside can't happen. More batteries and fuel mix for the generator. More gas for the portable heater and a better waste disposal system. I had some of everything except the ready meals. My thoughts were if a tornado destroyed the infrastructure for 15 to 20 days I would need this and that. I hadn't expected an ice storm that took out the infrastructure. Live and learn. I planned for a warm weather disaster and got a frigid disaster. The lesson don't fixate on what is most likely use the shotgun approach instead of the sniper rifle approach.
Start filling juice or tea jugs with water and stashing them somewhere. That’s what I do just so I have some water for various things. Not for drinking per say but for anything else I may need water for. My kids go through a lot of juice 64 oz, clean them out and fill em up. Tighten the lid
Hello my friend, sincere thanks for sharing this vital information. You have been a great source of need to know information. All the best to you. Stay safe and healthy. 🤗
The most important thing to do is think about what your doing. If you can safely get out of the danger zone, do so. Best to leave before the storm gets there. If you do leave before the storm to stay with family or others, bring gifts, toilet paper, bottle water and anything else, don't show up empty handed. Protect your house, if the heat is out remember pipes freeze, you may want to drain them. Save the water if you do. Remember CO2 kills so be careful with fire and gas powered equipment.
I don’t really have a bug out bag...l have an emergency bag. I agree with shelter in place. Also l know my neighbors...and unfortunately they are irresponsible and of no real help...they would be a burden. I’m a former army infantryman....l can handle a lot of trouble. I have to work on my resources.... Excellent channel
Good advice especially the neighbor approach. I know a lot of people to take the me my and mine approach. Someones gonna jack your stuff if you dont learn to share. Ton of stories about people stealing generator after disasters because the neighbor would charge a phone for someone
I must give him credit for trying to help people. Not ibe person where I live in Texas never tried to take a generator. In this state you have no clue who has a gun or not. Be pretty stupid. Preparing far ahead of any potential disaster is a good idea. I have seen so many disasters in my life time. A blizzard which helped me with my family in Texas with this ice storm that shut the power, water and gas off for days. I was able to help make it more tolerable. I saw no one grabbing sleeping bags. I had one already, so I got 3 more. Trust me that helped a lot with the cold. No power for cell phone I had power banks and it worked. Also we had a converter that we could get power from a car battery. We already had supplies left from the hurricaine season we didn't use. Plenty of water, canned goods, toilet paper, baby wipes and so forth. And bugging out as he says can actually save your life in certain events as in a major huricaine. But people also can't for the lack of funds to get out. You do what you gotta to do. We have good neighbors and when it gets tough we do pull together. Someone may have a grill and wood, and all the meat needs to be cooked before it goes bad. That gives food to every one around there for a day or two. Now I can say after eatting barbaque for 2 weeks, I was done for a while 😆. Now I am preparing my family for other disasters after this one. Heck we got flooded by huricaine Harvey a few years ago. I got that feeling after this blast we gonna have a major huricaine this year. So I got my plans in the works of solar and so forth. May take a while to get it all, but it can get done. Just word of advice, just prepare for the worse case scenario and you be fine. May suck but hey you lived threw it. And as far as sharing that's up to you. If you don't have enough to go around then you just can't, if you do and want to help your neighbor then go right ahead.
Actually in my city/state of California you never know who has a gun or not in your state nearly everyone has a gun (75%-90%) at least according to my Uber driver here in LA whose a native Texan born and raised.
Only disasters I seen in my province or nearby provinces is forest fire in summer or _serious_ snow blizzard in winter. Haven't had earth quakes. Haven't had extreme flooding/tsunami in alot of years and haven't witness them in my town/city while I lived in them. I have witnessed heat waves when I was younger and living in a different province ( a couple of provinces over from here). Maybe once or twice in this province. Never heat wave that last more than a week though.
Great points. What are your thoughts on generators for small homes? Especially in areas that don't lose power except every few years. Is there a preferred size and fuel type? Thanks
I'm not really an expert on size or fuel types but they are a good thing to have for emergencies. Just make sure you take it out and run it at least once a year to make sure it still works.
I have a buddy heater, about $100( wal world). Runs on either the small green cans of propane, or with a hose attachment/ converter can use the large propane tanks. Small enough to be portable and easily stored, strong enough to heat a small space or at least on room for cold nights. Crack Open a window for exhaust of any fumes.
Aren't you contradicting yourself ? If I have a ''tribe mentality'' I'll tell my neighbors I have emergency food but by doing that I've advertised that I have food.
Hi bro. i dont understand what you saying sometime... Having a bag in my house with some emergency stuff (bushcraft items that can keep me living some days in forest), is not so important as i have the right stuff in my house and not using them , keep them in case of emergensy? I mean if i can stay and remain at home in disaster situation, the bug is somehow pointless cos it has blankets etc, items that already the house have? Anyway your videos are very important.. thx
Should always have a good cast iron pot belly stove small size with all the piping that you would need to pipe it out a window safely or a doorway safely as well as the material to fortify that opening wood burning stoves you can keep your family warm in that one room you can cook you can boil water you can use the hot water for bathing if you need to, a wood-burning stove can even dispose of waste if the toilets aren't working worst case scenario. In the EPA can go to hell
@carlokrenzelak I've done it quite frequently absolutely no problem you just want to have a hot fire shove it in all is well. All I smell out of the smokestack is smoke. And in a who pitched the fan long-term grid down situation burning it is much better than burying or dealing with sewage in its liquid form.
@carlokrenzelak shows the mentality of City dwellers even a rat has better sense than they do. The one good thing with food storage buckets that only you can store the food but you have a place to get rid of it after you have eaten it. And after all these disasters, where a lot of people have died waiting and the government to help, and people still think the government can do anything to help them they deserve what they get. I don't care which idiot is in the White House they only look after themselves and that is it.
You say knock on your neighbours doors during a disaster and ask them if they need anything,then you say don't brag about your stuff,don't draw attention to yourself which is it,though it does depend on what kind of neighbours you have ,you must live in a very peaceful,saintly neighbourhood,round here you knock on some ones door you are liable to get punched or yelled at,people round here don't talk to each other and you where just going on about the neighbour who would attack you for a generator,that's what most neighbourhoods are like,people these days don't talk to each other,if they do it's usually some one you don't want talking to you,in a disaster people are capable of anything and it is not always something good,they will do anything to get food,clean water and if that means harming you they will do it,so stop with the talk to your neighbour,that is only telling people who to come to, to get everything they want and they want be peaceful or polite about it
Are you talking about Daniel Negreanu? He is a Canadian professional poker player who has won six World Series of Poker bracelets and two World Poker Tour championship titles. The independent poker ranking service Global Poker Index recognized Negreanu as the best poker player of the decade in 2014. I'm not sure what else he is known for, but; who knows, maybe he prepares for the inevitable.
Tribes. America is far too tribally divided and we saw the result of that in what happened on January 6th in our Capitol building with one tribe of otherwise regular looking Americans participating in an insurrection with the approval of millions of others of members of that tribe approving all across the country. I've lived in my home for 30 years now and know some of my neighbors and across the street from me is a huge apartment complex with hundreds of people I don't know at all. And only people I know and trust will ever know what I have in an emergency because to do otherwise is just foolish.
