I am seeing a lot of people reacting to the title and not actually watching the video. I love your videos and just started watching them. I currently live in a city but my mother has always taught my sisters and I to prep. We have been talking about it for a while and I have been doing so little by little and storing some away. I don't have much money since I was out of work for about 7 months, but thank the Lord I recently got a job like 3 months ago and am just slowly prepping. My mother is also moving in with me my sister and my brother in law and it is going to help to ease the burden of rent in California lol. I pray that one day I can buy a home but right now but still working on things. But I LOVE this video and you! Def had some hard pills to swallow but I'd rather be prepared than not ❤️. God Bless and keep the videos coming!
@@leticiaurbach6817 Any amount you put toward a debt above the 'required' payment takes down the balance ... when one pays off, add that $$ to the next highest interest debt ... at the same time, a few extra cans of veggies (and a bit of meat) are not too very expensive, and anything is so much better than nothing - - of course, that was my plan a number of years ago ... now, you probably need food first (considering the prices are going up all the time)
We are all about to have a rude awakening. Some of us are old enough to remember the past. The younger generation has been so spoiled by the goodness of living in the USA, that they have no idea what is coming. They are about to see why our parents/grandparents drove cars until the wheels fell off. And why it was typical to have one car per family. And why young newlyweds weren’t automatically entitled to a fully furnished house. Or lavish wedding (Do y’all remember when a wedding reception typically occurred in the fellowship hall of the church? And the only food was wedding cake, mints, mixed nuts and punch?) A honeymoon might include a night at a hotel, or if they were really lucky they might get a weekend in Hot Springs, Arkansas. There weren’t restaurants on every corner, because people only RARELY ate out. They cooked every meal at home. Or packed a lunch for the road. And they never wasted leftovers. Picky eaters? You either ate what your Mama cooked or you did without. AND NO ONE CARED. We are about to rediscover potato patties, soup, hash, biscuit pudding, rice pudding and bread with gravy. NO FOOD WAS WASTED. People had few outfits. You had church clothes and play clothes. And you took care of those clothes. Holes were mended and it didn’t matter if you liked the clothes or not. You wore what you had. And people didn’t snack or eat all day long either. People were rarely overweight. Because they didn’t have an unlimited supply of food at their fingertips. People weren’t being constantly entertained. Kids played outside and made up games with their imaginations. No fancy vacations. There was no money for all these extras that we consider “Rights”. Maybe people will finally wake up and realize that it is a PRIVILEGE to be an American. And feel gratitude and quit being such entitled whiney babies. People shed blood and died to give us this life. AND WE ARE STARTING TO PROVE THAT WE DON’T DESERVE IT. This is spot on. Copied from a friend of a friend.
those if u that live in the Northeast and use oil top of your tanks. 136.9 gallons was 828.00. Fuel oil company said they didn't know what the price will be in Sept or if they could even get it. Pray fur a warm winter
My great uncle was born in 1920 and lived on a farm in Southern VA during the Great Depression. Bothmy uncle and grandparents seemed to think that the people in the country fared better than those in the city. Despite having it "easier," one of the summers was so hot, that apples on the south side cooked on the tree. He talked about how hard my grandfather worked doing back-breaking manual labor for barely enough to feed himself, grandma, and dad. When I cleaned out my grandparent's house, I found a log that grandma kept of EVERY SINGLE PENNY they earned and spent. My uncle passed in 2013, but a couple years before he told me he could see another Depression coming and talked about how people today had no idea what hard times were.
@@jmanlo8276 I'm sorry so many people in the US think this way and have no idea what the long term plans are they have for us. Here's a hint. Check out the WEF, Davos meeting they just had this month, the Deagel forecast of 2015 for 2025, Ga. Guidestones. They have already told us our future. Before they just hinted, now they are proud of it and out in the open. The US must fall for the plan of One World Gov to work. I wish you the best. Time is running out.
This is a great post. Same with my grandmother. Country folks made it through because they lived off the land. City dwellers will be dead in a few months.
It amazes me how everyone except 3 in this area around me are not even trying to grow a garden, I even went up and down the road with my tiller and the excuses I got why they didn’t want to try to grow anything, not one of my 8 neighbors took me up on my offer to till! For free! They all have 2 or more acres so have land! 🤦🏻♀️ I asked each are you stocking your home for what’s coming? Everyone gave me this look 🤨😳 clueless! Most told me I have lost my mind…I tried
I have a bedroom full of food. We built shelves to store cans . I put my China cabinet in there and used it to store food in it. Freeze dried food is stored under the bunk beds and cases of water is stored in the corner. I have pretty much run out of room. I do have a garden to
Another prepper I read said to pull your couch and bed away from the wall alittle and store things behind them. It has really helped with making more room. Under the dressers too. We've been putting all dog food under there too!!!
Your doing great. I’m coming home finally after 6 months of caring for elderly parents. Before I left I started prepping and did not get to far. I love prepping for the future. I’m not going to let me grand babies go hungry. In September and October my husband has embarrassed when my brother in law saw the basement pantry, what is she getting ready for?? Little did he know in his future inflation hit.
Patara, I just paid off my student loan debt ($10K+) just over 1 year after graduating from trade school. I worked hard, hustled and travelled for extra pay to get that out of the way. I am debt free. I have been making so many preparations covered in your videos. You are an inspiration! Thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️
You are so correct on being debt free. We have been debt free for 40 years. My husband worked and I was a stay at home mom. We put 2 kids through college during that time also. Nothing belongs to you if you are paying for it and there is a possibility you could loose it. We like owning no one anything. It is not how much you make it is how you manage it. We had all our needs met not our wants. It can be done and I am thankful we did it. At age 791/2 years and 781/2 years young, we can enjoy life knowing what we have is ours and not the banks. Life is good and stress free when you are out of debt. We will be married 60:years in a few weeks. We are prepared and putting our trust in Jesus and depending on Him in all of this. From deep southeast Mississippi.
True, "nothing belongs to you if you are paying for it!" The same goes for anything with taxes. The mortgage might be paid off, but property taxes means it's not yours...it's on loan. Most people don't understand that.
PATARA- I inherited my mom’s silver when she passed. She had silver for one very specific purpose- that was to pay property taxes. She believed that as society collapsed it would take a while. The Taxman will still want their money. Would be a shame to have a great homestead and a stocked pantry only to have the taxman ruin it.
I literally had a dream back in the early 90’s about just that! My dream was I walked into a store and there was not any food on the shelves. On my way back to my vehicle I overheard two men talking and they said, I have some silver. The second man said, you can’t eat silver. I then sat in my vehicle and thought to myself. How are we going to eat? I think someone heavenly was warning me to get and be prepared. I sure appreciate your channel and the good info you share with us. 😋
Wow! Thank you for sharing. I haven't had a dream, but for the last few years, I've felt guided to start dabbling in gardening with the goal of someday becoming 50-75% food independent. This year, that gentle nudging is gone and the feeling is more like a coach yelling in the final minutes of a tied game, "GO! GO! GO! NOW!"
Dave Ramsey has helped many, many people financially. You on the other side of things are encouraging people of ultimate importance . Emergency supplies and food . You are a blessing and valuable .
I have always preferred hanging out with “older” people and listening to their stories I’m now a insurance agent, mostly working with Medicare 65 plus I could sit and talk with them for hours!!!! I’m in a good position now because I can see what’s coming and how to prepare. Love your channel!
I am one of those who is on my husband's fixed income. Paycheck to paycheck. He has panic attacks and his s-I joints are so bad he has trouble walking without losing his balance. Im try in so hard to stock my pantry. I know how to sew, can, pressure can, bake, crochet, knit, garden,and forage. I also have my carry. So does hubby. Stocked up there. I can hunt and fish. Gold...aint there yet. But All of my cars and my house on 3 acres is paid off. So I'm stepping at a good pace. Thanks for your helpful pushes Patara! 💜💜💜
Patara, you don’t realize it but we just had a whole conversation. When you started talking about getting out and walking, doing push-ups, running, I was like “I need to, I know it.” You said “lose some weight”. I said “yes, I know, I do”. You said you weren’t trying to get on people and I told you “no, you are right, I do need to lose some weight. You’re right”. We just had a whole conversation here! And as usual, you are spot on!
I'm exhausted. Not due to stacking silver/gold... Not due to filling my pantry & rotating stock... Not due to maintaining my vegetable garden. No, my exhaustion is due to friends & family members who think everything is OK.
My little 97yr old client loves when I bring your Chanel up on YT via the roku. He loves loves your voice! Thank you for being out here in YT land, keep it up! Xoxo
Definitely can't eat gold and silver. BUT when it jumps up to astronomical value you can pay off any remaining Bills. But you should be growing food number 1!!!
I recommend you add a bottle of oil of cloves for both medicinal and cleaning purposes to the prep kit. It has multiple uses but a few drops can be used for toothache, teething and in the house for removing mould.
Pure clove oil should be diluted with a carrier oil like olive oil or coconut oil, before applying to toothache/gums. It can burn you otherwise. But used correctly it is a lifesaver for toothache pain!
I got all of my money out after I retired and bought a house in a small town and moved. I got some prepping materials and now I am broke and starting over in a new place. It's definitely a new lifestyle and I enjoy it most of the time, but today I really wanted to go shopping and to go out and eat, but I can't afford it. So I cooked myself a hamburger, went out and did some yardwork and paid attention to my new baby chicks. Once I am truly settled here, I'll probably get another job or substitute teach. I decided my time was better spent on making my garden and building a little place for my chickens and rabbits. It's a lot cheaper to do it yourself than to pay someone to help you. So, maybe I'll buy a few silver coins or some junk silver- but not until I get a water catchment system set up, a small chicken house built, my garden planted, and some food canned.
You can't eat silver, but when the dollar collapses aside from bartering food, fuel, and liqueur, it's going to be very valuable - just as it always has been. I consider silver just another component in prepping. As you said in the video, however, if you can only choose food or silver, then food is the main concern.
I had to accept that I can’t do everything, and it’s hard. I have a very full pantry, a large garden, and yet I constantly feel that it’s not enough. Every week, I look at my budget and see what can I stock up on that I don’t already have. That is where I am at. It’s a constant struggle to balance the fear with the proactivity.
Debt-free pregnant wife here… except for a “reasonable” 1-income mortgage. I work from home, have been prepping for around a year, gardening hugely here at home (and just got ducks!), and in a community garden in town for variety and redundancy. Prepped both food and nonfood, and now prepping for baby too! Due this summer. Getting tired and sore from all the work but it’s gotta get done! Exercise is good for us, like you said. Thanks Patara!
Food first, water second, metals third. Priorities peeps. I have pulled back on buying metals because I'm comfortable with how much I have. Gut feeling lately is FOOD and WATER!
I'm really glad you did this video cause I know people thought I was crazy I started buying up a few extra bath towels extra hand towels extra washcloths I even went and bought extra kitchen towels wash rags for the dishes and then I've been buying occasionally extra packs of socks things like that undergarments because like you said what if they're not available or worse what if they're sitting in front of you and the price is so high you can't afford it I did not actually think of the bed sheets going to have to put that on the list to go buy a couple of extra sets of sheets and blankets and things cuz honestly we might just need those extra sheets and blankets especially if this winter ends up being hard and the fact that maybe you can't afford natural gas if you can't afford a way to heat your home then those extra blankets are going to be a lifesaver
Sleeping bag's maybe tent if you don't have those,or have extra,been thinking we may have a no heat winter,and depending on where you live.I have been thinking of how to survive the winter's.
You are not alone. I’ve spent the past year getting everything I think we may need for the next four years. Shoes, socks, towels, printer ink, paper, pens, pencils, undergarments, clothes, gloves (gardening), tools. If we have a world conflict and our ports are closed it will take years to manufacture those goods here.
Constitutional silver or some people refer to "junk silver" is great for bartering because your dimes, quarters and half dollars are fractional sizes and was used as real money for many years.
I'm on it. Going to go get more water barrels and fill my cistern building tomorrow. Your awesome, never offended by your video's. I look forward to all of them. Thank you & Bless you for everything!
People please don't forget that houses these days will be unliveable in the summer especially in the south. Make sure that you have mosquito nets to protect you while you sleep on the porch!
Thank you Patara….another excellent video! We paid off all debt last month, except for a small amount on our mortgage……you are helping so many people……you offer great advice! 🇺🇸
Patara another excellent video! Like many Americans I live paycheck to paycheck. I took a pretty substantial cut in pay last summer to be able to move from Southern California to Tennessee. It was worth every penny. Not having as much extra money has slowed down my ability to build my preps as quickly as I’d like to, but I’m adding every week. I don’t have excess funds to invest in anything other than what will fill my belly.
What region? Moved from WA state to West TN and definitely wish I had known more about it. We got lucky w 10 acres but honestly if everything went south the nearby cities not to mention Memphis concerns me. Definitely feel like we made some mistakes regarding location.
GAAAAAH. I have been FREAKIN out about the push to buy gold and silver. What a relief Patara. God bless you BIG. Gonna stick with growing the pantry and garden and stocking up for the animals. THANK YOU. ❤
Coming from a farming community.... we still hear the stories of how the farm land shifted to the banks when the great depression hit and farmers lost it all. Debt collectors will always be there when things go bad.
You are a natural born teacher in so many ways! I look forward to the content regardless. I always walk away with something! You touch many! Much love to you and your family and farm🤗🤗😇😇
Of all the insurances we have, over time my backup food supply, heat source, and light source is the insurance I've had to tap the most frequently. NOT financial advice: looking at the economic situation, I wouldn't be surprised if backup food storage yields at least a 40% return in savings within 6-12 months.
You are absolutely right, I need more of all the above, I’m sure most of us need more. We’d better be getting it while we can. All of us need more of the Lord!
I can't raise chickens, but I can invest in silver. Here in South Florida, I can also hunt Iguana and fish and crabs, along with taking advantage of every square foot of space to grow food. About to do my first canning...no debt here, house is paid for.
Have you tried Iguana? How does it taste? I wouldn't mind doing some Iguana hunting along with the fishing. Fishing is relaxing. Been awhile but its like riding a bike.:)
@@Sunsetschano Tastes just like chicken. And due to the status of class 1 pest, it is open season with permission of property owners...which almost everyone is eager to provide.
There is so much wisdom in your videos! After graduation, I made it a priority to pay off my college debt as soon as possible and to not take on any more debt moving forward. It was not easy by any means... but years of work 2+ jobs, driving older cars, living below my means has been SO WORTH IT. "Live like no one else now, so later you can live (and give) like no one else" -Dave Ramsey
My sister and Dad both have LOTS of money, and neither are worried about anything that's happening. It drives me crazy...but, I've always been the crazy chicken lady of the family anyway. It just makes me worry about them. Can't seem to make them see what I see.
You are SO VERY WISE Miss Patara. Love you so much for what you are saying and trying to help educate those who are willing to be open minded, listen and make a list of priorities in these unprecedented times. Bless you and your family!
You are so right Patara. Idk why anyone would have anything to say against what you have been saying. You definitely bring the common sense to the table. Idk whats wrong with some people having their head sunk in the sand or somewhere else, but they need to wake up. I look forward to your videos and appreciate your time that you take in making them to inform everyone. Thank you.
Thank you for keeping us uplifted and sharing the truth as always. We are preparing daily and not stopping. Praying our friends and family wake up soon!
Honestly, no one wants to hear, "lose weight", but it's so true. The best thing you can do for yourself is be as healthy as possible, and I'm sorry if this offends people, but being overweight/obese puts you not only at risk of serious and commom health conditions, it also means you will be less likely to defend yourself and keep up with the daily struggles of the new way of life that is coming. This is coming from a person who has always struggled with weight. I recently lost 40lbs, but I need to lose another 30lbs to be considered within a healthy weight range, so there is absolutely no judgement coming from me. We all need to get used to hearing truth without being offended or taking it personally. It's the only way we grow and become better versions of ourselves. I don't recall Jesus ever saying in the Gospels, "You're perfect as you are. Live YOUR truth." We wouldn't have needed Him to come then. Anyways, long winded way to say thank you for telling us the hard truths Patara! I appreciate you! Love from Canada! Please pray for us, we need a lot of help up here.
Glad you have the courage to speak the truth. Sadly, obese people will never survive in ANY type of survival situation. It’s just not going to happen. If we are hit with a collapse of any kind, when it’s over, there will only be fit people left.
I have said this before BIG LOTS has powdered butter, powdered peanut butter powdered sour cream and many other items cheaper than any where I have seen it
I've got a little put back and plan on using it to barter with if it comes to that. Gold & silver is the true currency of the world. I lucked out though & bought mine years ago when an ounce was only $12. I can't afford it now.
Yep! I don’t know how many I have…in the 80s 90s and early 2000 I dated a guy, great guy, he asked me when we first started dating he asked me what I collected. At that time it was coins. He bought me 4 silver dollars a week. Every week for almost 20 years. I kept every one of them. I’m so thankful.
We buy & rotate our med & food preps. I've bought a canner & water filtration system. {water's close}This way, I know my elderly parents will be fed. They don't understand it, my family doesn't agree, but my Freedom seeds, food & meds, as well as fuel is what we're doing. Gold & Silver are last on my list.
I’m a little chubby, I could probably stand to loose 25 lbs. I’m saving it though. When things get worse and we are working harder, eating less, like everyone else, then I’ll shed a few pounds. That way everyone else doesn’t think I have food since I clearly lost weight. We don’t have any health issue and don’t take meds, so we’re in good shape for mid 40’s and 50’s. We homestead, garden, trees, animals, all of it. We have food stored, means to produce more food, a new well we just put in. We have bought silver and gold for a decade. I buy junk silver/gold when I find it at a good price. We all need to pray we make it through this. I was raised on end times doctrine, this is getting scary.
I stack gold and silver, but I also stack tubs of food in Mylar bags with oxygen absorbers. I grow food, have 54 fruit trees, multiple farm animals and only have a mortgage. No other debt. I stack the silver and gold for paying off my mortgage when hyperinflation is crazy. I know I can’t eat it, that’s why I have over a year’s worth of food first.
me too Im holding some gold (and a lot of silver) for my small fixed term mortgage, I hope gold will rise in the same time the banks demand full repayment
@@fullofhope2222 I am hoping that too. I’m also thinking at some point I may be able to trade some gold for a cow directly with a farmer. Who knows what may come. I’m hopeful knowing that others are getting ready.
Actually, people do eat silver and if they eat to much it turns their skin blue. On a more positive note, silver is used in medicine and in 1991 when my right arm got severely burned in a foundry accident, Silvadene creme saved it. Patara, you were spot on tonight..
Agree, get the essentials in order, then if you have that pretty well setup go ahead on the silver and gold. Personally I'd rather have more livestock 🙃🙂
Very very very well said! If anyone looking at this vid does not believe it then well I was at Target for a few things and the pasta isle was empty. Think about the repercussions of the empty shelves.
I believe our children have been dummied down in public schools to be follewers of the system. Our young people have lost the ability to use SIMPLE logic. I find it very disturbing and sad.
I see what you did there with the sunglasses 🤣 Thank you Patara. I can honestly say that when we're on the other side of this, many us will be so grateful for you and your urging us to prepare, stock, learn, grow.
My introduction to getting ready for SHTF was Lynnette Zang on ITM trading. She has a mantra "Food, Water, Security, Shelter, Barter ability, Weath Preservation, Energy and Community." I started with food and worked my way through each step simultaneously. I'm able to do that which I am grateful for. Community is the weakest link for me, I trust few people.
Patara, I have to say you have one of the biggest and most beautiful offices a person can film in!! Because it does not mater where you are on y'alls homestead it is stunning!!!
Today was senior day at the grocery store I work at so I did my monthly large shop. Canned veggies, caned meat, pasta, jars of sauce etc. I get an employee discount with the senior discount so it really helps with my preps!
If you don't have much water, what will ya do about using the restroom? I have a 5 gallon bucket with a seat and wood chips. Another item to consider as well.
@@williamstewart2066 That's true! When I would go visit my relative's in the midwest, they would refer to a certain tree as the 'toilet tree"...that's a funny pun...put it was so true! That tree grew next to the old outhouse they used as kids!
People who don't believe it's real...I bought a case of Walmart Great Value canned chicken breast in April, it was slightly over 20.00. Today, on the Walmart site, 35.50.
I appreciate this video so much. We’re absolutely not in a financial position to purchase gold/silver because there’s other needs that need to be met first. Would I love to be leveraging our finances to improve our long term financial health? ABSOLUTELY!! But we’re still on the beans, bullets, and bandaids phase right now and that’s ok. We’re doing as much as we can, as fast as we can, with the limited resources we have. 🤷♀️
After 2008 I have been preparing in slow-mo for something like this. A divorce set me back a bit but now am fully engaged in getting prepared - you can see whats coming. I am a fan of WWII history and my mother grew up during the depression and war and her stories have helped me immensely. If you want to learn how people make it thru a tough scenario read some books, even historical fiction books, on the people who lived in London during the Blitz. They had some time to prep for war and rations came, they turned every piece of grass to a garden but they kept.......on ....going! Even when the Germans bombed a neighborhood 2 blocks away, you got up the next day and went to work if your business still stood- if not you helped the cause and helped others! It was definitely tough. Their motto of "Keep Calm and Carry On" means a whole lot more to me now than it ever did, and I am glad I have the peace of Christ during all of this
I love what you say people need to watch you all the way through congrats on sending these love words to the community is pray they listen thanks PATERA
AndWeKnow is another great one but only on Rumble. With all the censorship going on, soon YT will be only Cat videos and Cooking shows. Try Rumble for a refreshing alternative to leftwing censorship. Also see Bongino. And how can i forget Salty 🧂 🧂 🧂...
Preach, sister! We are kindred spirits! This is straight up, truth. It’s the gospel of survival. I’m focusing on two areas: water & more storage. Thank you for sharing your heart and knowledge because this is so important! 🙌🏻
Gold and silver are fine for a mild economic collapse, but when SHTF for real, they'll be way too many people looking to trade it for food. What happens when there is a sudden overabundance of gold and a severe shortage of food? The price of gold, measured in food quickly plummets, especially when there is no end in sight. Who would trade their limited food without knowing when it would end?
Patera, I subbed to all those guys because of you recommendation except the ninja, I think he lead me to you. I have stacked lots of silver and some gold. But not till I prepped 5 years of long term food for my family. Glad I have it! Every year I buy basic otc meds, fish antibiotics, and make sure any prescriptions we might have are filled early. All my pans are cast iron. Your advice is so valuable and delivered is an entertaining way! You rock!
Arpad from the Starpath Academy channel lived through hyperinflation in 1990s Romania... He confirmed that many people with precious metals often ended up trading them for food at way below the actual value. If you can hold it until you come out on the other side, it's a great way to protect your wealth. But if you don't have your basics you will lose it.
Exactly, and if your lucky enough in the future years to find a farmer willing to sell you a big bag of oat groats, what will he take, Coinage or that nice big bottle of olive oil.
I have thought about this (silver and gold) many different times, and every time I came to the same conclusion... In a survival situation, I would NOT take any silver or gold as trade UNLESS there was a thriving local economy that accepts silver/gold... If there isnt one, I would not take any gold or silver in barter, because it would be useless to me... Also, I will never trade security items except with trusted family members... Do NOT trade security items with anyone else because you would be trading off items that will enable your possible enemies the very thing they need to kill you and take away everything else you have.
Venezuela is the PERFECT CASE STUDY. and you are absolutely correct. I agree with her...she says WHEN & IF you have everything covered...then do silver & gold. I totally believe 8n having some
I soo look forward to your video every day!! I love your no nonsense tell it like it is no BS ing approach, I love your passion and integrity!! you are inspiring! I have just s tiny homestead with 7 chickens and 450 square feet of garden space and hardly have time daily to cook dinner or take a shower lol I don't know how you do all you do and add in making videos!! mad respect for you Patara!!❤ thank you 😊 💓
My grandmother used to say "you can't eat dirt", but you have some seeds and you can survive. Another video I watched on the history of corn cribs earlier today reminded me: growing tomatoes is fun, but Appalachia folks and their animals lived or starved on how well their corn crop filled their corn crib through the winter. Hominy cooking process, popular in some cultures/areas, releases vital nutrients from the corn and can be made into grits or tortillas -- that regular ground corn flour does not have.
My grandad had a corncrib. I remember shucking a lot of corn to fill it several times over! The entire family of grandparents, parents, aunts & uncles, and cousins would work several days filling it up! We ate our fill of grits, corn pone, cornmeal muffins, and cornmeal pancakes with Grandad's sugar cane syrup. He fed many a hog that filled our freezers, and the cows got the corn stalks & shucks. Those were the days, and this younger generation doesn't have a clue what's about to hit them. My son grew up knowing how I stocked our pantry. Now he's got his head in the sand, and I don't know how to shake him out of it. Smh!
Great advice! Just remember that you can make colloidal silver from that maple. Great anti-biotic. I used it for fly strike and pink eye and it was effective.
For dinner tonite we had ham, fried green tomatoes, mashed potatoes, salad. The ham was the only thing we bought. Feels good. After dinner, picked snow peas and green beans. Gave the rabbits kale ( happy bunnies)
Husband thought we had enough food for a year. When I finally took inventory found out we weren't even close. He was even shocked we didn't have enough canned goods to be able to open one can a day. A bit stressed I must say, but I will make it with God's help
I have been feeling the same way about this, and everything you said makes sense! We need to be getting out of debt and doing as much as we can with what we have, where we are - now.
Silver and gold help after an implosion and what comes after. The slogan you can’t eat gold and silver is true but it has its purpose just like food has the purpose of being eaten.
Go fo it! I don't have the $$$$ to do both, therefore, food must come first. I would bet that the majority of our middle class CANNOT do bothn and would guarantee that we all wish we could. So good luck
Thank you! Doing what I can, working on debt while stocking up. Just wish my children would listen for their families. Only one is debt free and working on her pantry.
How wise, make it through the critical phase. Even having a homestead for years you made me realize I needed to be buying can food, because you are right I can't grow everything. Then during spring planting we got sick. We are still getting it in the ground, but late. Our goal, to make it through. Great info, thanks. Blessings
Has anyone else had their garden raided? We went to pick the squash, green bean s, and the cucumbers. All that was left was the cucumbers. Guess they don't like pickles. We weren't real upset but it costs money for heirloom seeds, water, and fertilizer. Our fertilizer is cow manure (processed) an bag and leaves mulched.
Every time I get on your channel your subscribers have increased by 1000. You go girl!!! You ARE making an impact and people are hungry for your wisdom.
I absolutely love listening to you and all the advice you have to share. At some point could you talk about how you collect water? I’m assuming you have rain barrels and such. Thanks for all you teach me!!! 😘
Patara, every time Kroger puts chuck roast on sale for half price. We pick up a lot and then I can it for beef tips or beef stew. After it goes through the pressure canner, it taste like a very tender steak. Today, I canned 6 quarts of beef tips. The smell is driving me crazy, I love beef tips. It gets hard smelling it all day and not having it for dinner. Tomorrow I'm canning beef stew for hubby. We spent our extra money on 20 pounds of chuck roast. The main thing is we are getting extra protein in our pantry. In Prescott Valley, Arizona chuck roast goes on sale about once a month.
I saw a cartoon illustration and it made me lol! A family of 4 were sitting around the dinner table holding forks and knifes in their hands, looking at a platter of "gold bars" that was beaming with light in the center of their table. The artist was me.

I am seeing a lot of people reacting to the title and not actually watching the video. I love your videos and just started watching them. I currently live in a city but my mother has always taught my sisters and I to prep. We have been talking about it for a while and I have been doing so little by little and storing some away. I don't have much money since I was out of work for about 7 months, but thank the Lord I recently got a job like 3 months ago and am just slowly prepping. My mother is also moving in with me my sister and my brother in law and it is going to help to ease the burden of rent in California lol. I pray that one day I can buy a home but right now but still working on things. But I LOVE this video and you! Def had some hard pills to swallow but I'd rather be prepared than not ❤️. God Bless and keep the videos coming!
That's correct. If they'd hear what I ACTUALLY SAY which IS what OTHERS are advising as well-they would understand and likely agree! ;-)
Should stocking our food should be the priority than paying off debt?
@@leticiaurbach6817 Any amount you put toward a debt above the 'required' payment takes down the balance ... when one pays off, add that $$ to the next highest interest debt ... at the same time, a few extra cans of veggies (and a bit of meat) are not too very expensive, and anything is so much better than nothing - - of course, that was my plan a number of years ago ... now, you probably need food first (considering the prices are going up all the time)
true, you can't eat what you buy that you wear or listen to I get it that some don't understand truthfully what she is actually saying
@@leticiaurbach6817 I think so.
We are all about to have a rude awakening. Some of us are old enough to remember the past. The younger generation has been so spoiled by the goodness of living in the USA, that they have no idea what is coming.
They are about to see why our parents/grandparents drove cars until the wheels fell off. And why it was typical to have one car per family. And why young newlyweds weren’t automatically entitled to a fully furnished house. Or lavish wedding (Do y’all remember when a wedding reception typically occurred in the fellowship hall of the church? And the only food was wedding cake, mints, mixed nuts and punch?) A honeymoon might include a night at a hotel, or if they were really lucky they might get a weekend in Hot Springs, Arkansas.
There weren’t restaurants on every corner, because people only RARELY ate out. They cooked every meal at home. Or packed a lunch for the road. And they never wasted leftovers. Picky eaters? You either ate what your Mama cooked or you did without. AND NO ONE CARED. We are about to rediscover potato patties, soup, hash, biscuit pudding, rice pudding and bread with gravy. NO FOOD WAS WASTED.
People had few outfits. You had church clothes and play clothes. And you took care of those clothes. Holes were mended and it didn’t matter if you liked the clothes or not. You wore what you had.
And people didn’t snack or eat all day long either. People were rarely overweight. Because they didn’t have an unlimited supply of food at their fingertips.
People weren’t being constantly entertained. Kids played outside and made up games with their imaginations. No fancy vacations. There was no money for all these extras that we consider “Rights”.
Maybe people will finally wake up and realize that it is a PRIVILEGE to be an American. And feel gratitude and quit being such entitled whiney babies.
People shed blood and died to give us this life.
AND WE ARE STARTING TO PROVE THAT WE DON’T DESERVE IT.
This is spot on.

Preach it! You just described my growing up, something I'm pushing on my adopted sons. Not being the cool mom makes me the smart mom...
My great uncle was born in 1920 and lived on a farm in Southern VA during the Great Depression. Bothmy uncle and grandparents seemed to think that the people in the country fared better than those in the city. Despite having it "easier," one of the summers was so hot, that apples on the south side cooked on the tree. He talked about how hard my grandfather worked doing back-breaking manual labor for barely enough to feed himself, grandma, and dad. When I cleaned out my grandparent's house, I found a log that grandma kept of EVERY SINGLE PENNY they earned and spent. My uncle passed in 2013, but a couple years before he told me he could see another Depression coming and talked about how people today had no idea what hard times were.
if you can live in a third world country and survive im sure those people are gunna be fine here in the usa despite a great depression comming
@@jmanlo8276 I'm sorry so many people in the US think this way and have no idea what the long term plans are they have for us. Here's a hint. Check out the WEF, Davos meeting they just had this month, the Deagel forecast of 2015 for 2025, Ga. Guidestones. They have already told us our future. Before they just hinted, now they are proud of it and out in the open. The US must fall for the plan of One World Gov to work. I wish you the best. Time is running out.
This is a great post. Same with my grandmother. Country folks made it through because they lived off the land. City dwellers will be dead in a few months.

Your doing great. I’m coming home finally after 6 months of caring for elderly parents. Before I left I started prepping and did not get to far. I love prepping for the future. I’m not going to let me grand babies go hungry. In September and October my husband has embarrassed when my brother in law saw the basement pantry, what is she getting ready for??

Patara, I just paid off my student loan debt ($10K+) just over 1 year after graduating from trade school. I worked hard, hustled and travelled for extra pay to get that out of the way. I am debt free. I have been making so many preparations covered in your videos. You are an inspiration! Thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️
Jake, smart man! 👍
Congratulations 🎉
Awesome job
Wise move!
SMART YOUNG MAN!
You are so correct on being debt free. We have been debt free for 40 years. My husband worked and I was a stay at home mom. We put 2 kids through college during that time also. Nothing belongs to you if you are paying for it and there is a possibility you could loose it. We like owning no one anything. It is not how much you make it is how you manage it. We had all our needs met not our wants. It can be done and I am thankful we did it. At age 791/2 years and 781/2 years young, we can enjoy life knowing what we have is ours and not the banks. Life is good and stress free when you are out of debt. We will be married 60:years in a few weeks. We are prepared and putting our trust in Jesus and depending on Him in all of this. From deep southeast Mississippi.
Happy early Anniversary to both of you♡
Happy Anniversary & praying many more blessings for the two of you!!
Love this. Bless you.
Happy anniversary!! Many more Happy years. My parents were married al.ost 72 years when my dad passed.
True, "nothing belongs to you if you are paying for it!" The same goes for anything with taxes. The mortgage might be paid off, but property taxes means it's not yours...it's on loan. Most people don't understand that.
PATARA- I inherited my mom’s silver when she passed. She had silver for one very specific purpose- that was to pay property taxes. She believed that as society collapsed it would take a while. The Taxman will still want their money. Would be a shame to have a great homestead and a stocked pantry only to have the taxman ruin it.
I literally had a dream back in the early 90’s about just that! My dream was I walked into a store and there was not any food on the shelves. On my way back to my vehicle I overheard two men talking and they said, I have some silver. The second man said, you can’t eat silver. I then sat in my vehicle and thought to myself. How are we going to eat? I think someone heavenly was warning me to get and be prepared. I sure appreciate your channel and the good info you share with us. 😋
The Heavenly Father told Noah to prepare and he and his family did. Noah was the first Prepper!
Wow! Thank you for sharing. I haven't had a dream, but for the last few years, I've felt guided to start dabbling in gardening with the goal of someday becoming 50-75% food independent. This year, that gentle nudging is gone and the feeling is more like a coach yelling in the final minutes of a tied game, "GO! GO! GO! NOW!"

Me too! I definitely relate to this.
Wisdom is a VERY attractive thing. Older folks are my jam as well.
I am one of those who is on my husband's fixed income. Paycheck to paycheck. He has panic attacks and his s-I joints are so bad he has trouble walking without losing his balance. Im try in so hard to stock my pantry. I know how to sew, can, pressure can, bake, crochet, knit, garden,and forage. I also have my carry. So does hubby. Stocked up there. I can hunt and fish. Gold...aint there yet. But All of my cars and my house on 3 acres is paid off. So I'm stepping at a good pace. Thanks for your helpful pushes Patara! 💜💜💜
Patara, you don’t realize it but we just had a whole conversation. When you started talking about getting out and walking, doing push-ups, running, I was like “I need to, I know it.” You said “lose some weight”. I said “yes, I know, I do”. You said you weren’t trying to get on people and I told you “no, you are right, I do need to lose some weight. You’re right”. We just had a whole conversation here! And as usual, you are spot on!
I'm exhausted.
Not due to stacking silver/gold...
Not due to filling my pantry & rotating stock...
Not due to maintaining my vegetable garden.
No, my exhaustion is due to friends & family members who think everything is OK.
I understand! Tune it out & keep going!

Definitely can't eat gold and silver. BUT when it jumps up to astronomical value you can pay off any remaining Bills. But you should be growing food number 1!!!
Carl gets it.
I recommend you add a bottle of oil of cloves for both medicinal and cleaning purposes to the prep kit. It has multiple uses but a few drops can be used for toothache, teething and in the house for removing mould.
And it also makes your house smell great too
Gosh toothache is the mother of all pains! Great suggestion!
Just ordered some the other day! Read that it's effective against termites, didn't know about mold; that's great to know; thanks!
Pure clove oil should be diluted with a carrier oil like olive oil or coconut oil, before applying to toothache/gums. It can burn you otherwise. But used correctly it is a lifesaver for toothache pain!
Thank you
I like how raw you are and straight to the point you are.
That's what brings me here along with her knowledge. No bull, hard truth, to the point Patara!! Yeah!! Love it 🤗❤
Me too!
PLEASE name one of those baby chicks JEB!! 🤣🤣🤣
I got all of my money out after I retired and bought a house in a small town and moved. I got some prepping materials and now I am broke and starting over in a new place. It's definitely a new lifestyle and I enjoy it most of the time, but today I really wanted to go shopping and to go out and eat, but I can't afford it. So I cooked myself a hamburger, went out and did some yardwork and paid attention to my new baby chicks. Once I am truly settled here, I'll probably get another job or substitute teach. I decided my time was better spent on making my garden and building a little place for my chickens and rabbits. It's a lot cheaper to do it yourself than to pay someone to help you. So, maybe I'll buy a few silver coins or some junk silver- but not until I get a water catchment system set up, a small chicken house built, my garden planted, and some food canned.
You can't eat silver, but when the dollar collapses aside from bartering food, fuel, and liqueur, it's going to be very valuable - just as it always has been. I consider silver just another component in prepping. As you said in the video, however, if you can only choose food or silver, then food is the main concern.
Augustine, where do you buy your silver?
If tshtf I would not give you even one potato for all the gold or silver you have.

I had to accept that I can’t do everything, and it’s hard. I have a very full pantry, a large garden, and yet I constantly feel that it’s not enough. Every week, I look at my budget and see what can I stock up on that I don’t already have. That is where I am at. It’s a constant struggle to balance the fear with the proactivity.
Debt-free pregnant wife here… except for a “reasonable” 1-income mortgage. I work from home, have been prepping for around a year, gardening hugely here at home (and just got ducks!), and in a community garden in town for variety and redundancy. Prepped both food and nonfood, and now prepping for baby too! Due this summer. Getting tired and sore from all the work but it’s gotta get done! Exercise is good for us, like you said. Thanks Patara!

Food first, water second, metals third. Priorities peeps. I have pulled back on buying metals because I'm comfortable with how much I have. Gut feeling lately is FOOD and WATER!
I'm really glad you did this video cause I know people thought I was crazy I started buying up a few extra bath towels extra hand towels extra washcloths I even went and bought extra kitchen towels wash rags for the dishes and then I've been buying occasionally extra packs of socks things like that undergarments because like you said what if they're not available or worse what if they're sitting in front of you and the price is so high you can't afford it I did not actually think of the bed sheets going to have to put that on the list to go buy a couple of extra sets of sheets and blankets and things cuz honestly we might just need those extra sheets and blankets especially if this winter ends up being hard and the fact that maybe you can't afford natural gas if you can't afford a way to heat your home then those extra blankets are going to be a lifesaver
Sleeping bag's maybe tent if you don't have those,or have extra,been thinking we may have a no heat winter,and depending on where you live.I have been thinking of how to survive the winter's.
You are not alone. I’ve spent the past year getting everything I think we may need for the next four years. Shoes, socks, towels, printer ink, paper, pens, pencils, undergarments, clothes, gloves (gardening), tools. If we have a world conflict and our ports are closed it will take years to manufacture those goods here.
Constitutional silver or some people refer to "junk silver" is great for bartering because your dimes, quarters and half dollars are fractional sizes and was used as real money for many years.
Right on! We keep a couple of gallon zip lock bags of junk silver for things that may come up if/after the dollar crash.
Where do you get that type of silver?

Great advice. Stock some citronella too

Thank you Patara….another excellent video! We paid off all debt last month, except for a small amount on our mortgage……you are helping so many people……you offer great advice! 🇺🇸
Patara another excellent video! Like many Americans I live paycheck to paycheck. I took a pretty substantial cut in pay last summer to be able to move from Southern California to Tennessee. It was worth every penny. Not having as much extra money has slowed down my ability to build my preps as quickly as I’d like to, but I’m adding every week. I don’t have excess funds to invest in anything other than what will fill my belly.

GAAAAAH. I have been FREAKIN out about the push to buy gold and silver. What a relief Patara. God bless you BIG. Gonna stick with growing the pantry and garden and stocking up for the animals. THANK YOU. ❤
Coming from a farming community.... we still hear the stories of how the farm land shifted to the banks when the great depression hit and farmers lost it all. Debt collectors will always be there when things go bad.

Of all the insurances we have, over time my backup food supply, heat source, and light source is the insurance I've had to tap the most frequently. NOT financial advice: looking at the economic situation, I wouldn't be surprised if backup food storage yields at least a 40% return in savings within 6-12 months.
Heat source yes, often overlooked as we are all so used to central heating etc.
You are absolutely right, I need more of all the above, I’m sure most of us need more. We’d better be getting it while we can. All of us need more of the Lord!
I can't raise chickens, but I can invest in silver. Here in South Florida, I can also hunt Iguana and fish and crabs, along with taking advantage of every square foot of space to grow food. About to do my first canning...no debt here, house is paid for.

SF here too! Hi 👋
There is so much wisdom in your videos! After graduation, I made it a priority to pay off my college debt as soon as possible and to not take on any more debt moving forward. It was not easy by any means... but years of work 2+ jobs, driving older cars, living below my means has been SO WORTH IT. "Live like no one else now, so later you can live (and give) like no one else" -Dave Ramsey
My sister and Dad both have LOTS of money, and neither are worried about anything that's happening. It drives me crazy...but, I've always been the crazy chicken lady of the family anyway. It just makes me worry about them. Can't seem to make them see what I see.
Sadly I think we all have family like that.
Even the powers that be probably think the same way. They think they're untouchable. Last laugh everyone?

Thank you for keeping us uplifted and sharing the truth as always. We are preparing daily and not stopping. Praying our friends and family wake up soon!
Honestly, no one wants to hear, "lose weight", but it's so true. The best thing you can do for yourself is be as healthy as possible, and I'm sorry if this offends people, but being overweight/obese puts you not only at risk of serious and commom health conditions, it also means you will be less likely to defend yourself and keep up with the daily struggles of the new way of life that is coming. This is coming from a person who has always struggled with weight. I recently lost 40lbs, but I need to lose another 30lbs to be considered within a healthy weight range, so there is absolutely no judgement coming from me. We all need to get used to hearing truth without being offended or taking it personally. It's the only way we grow and become better versions of ourselves. I don't recall Jesus ever saying in the Gospels, "You're perfect as you are. Live YOUR truth." We wouldn't have needed Him to come then. Anyways, long winded way to say thank you for telling us the hard truths Patara! I appreciate you! Love from Canada! Please pray for us, we need a lot of help up here.
Glad you have the courage to speak the truth.
Sadly, obese people will never survive in ANY type of survival situation. It’s just not going to happen.
If we are hit with a collapse of any kind, when it’s over, there will only be fit people left.
I have said this before BIG LOTS has powdered butter, powdered peanut butter powdered sour cream and many other items cheaper than any where I have seen it
I'll be checking my store. Thanks💙
Thanks. Powdered butter online is outrageously priced.
I've got a little put back and plan on using it to barter with if it comes to that. Gold & silver is the true currency of the world. I lucked out though & bought mine years ago when an ounce was only $12. I can't afford it now.
You sure did luck out...OR...maybe you were just smarter than the rest of us
Bought most of mine under $5 an ounce. Yes Im old😂
Yep! I don’t know how many I have…in the 80s 90s and early 2000 I dated a guy, great guy, he asked me when we first started dating he asked me what I collected. At that time it was coins. He bought me 4 silver dollars a week. Every week for almost 20 years. I kept every one of them. I’m so thankful.
@@countycalling KUDOS... SMART! Did you marry him??? Lol
Gold and silver is never been at $12 an ounce since the 1980s is the biggest bullshit on the fucking planet
We buy & rotate our med & food preps. I've bought a canner & water filtration system. {water's close}This way, I know my elderly parents will be fed. They don't understand it, my family doesn't agree, but my Freedom seeds, food & meds, as well as fuel is what we're doing. Gold & Silver are last on my list.
I’m a little chubby, I could probably stand to loose 25 lbs. I’m saving it though. When things get worse and we are working harder, eating less, like everyone else, then I’ll shed a few pounds. That way everyone else doesn’t think I have food since I clearly lost weight. We don’t have any health issue and don’t take meds, so we’re in good shape for mid 40’s and 50’s.
We homestead, garden, trees, animals, all of it. We have food stored, means to produce more food, a new well we just put in.
We have bought silver and gold for a decade. I buy junk silver/gold when I find it at a good price.
We all need to pray we make it through this. I was raised on end times doctrine, this is getting scary.
I stack gold and silver, but I also stack tubs of food in Mylar bags with oxygen absorbers. I grow food, have 54 fruit trees, multiple farm animals and only have a mortgage. No other debt. I stack the silver and gold for paying off my mortgage when hyperinflation is crazy. I know I can’t eat it, that’s why I have over a year’s worth of food first.

Actually, people do eat silver and if they eat to much it turns their skin blue. On a more positive note, silver is used in medicine and in 1991 when my right arm got severely burned in a foundry accident, Silvadene creme saved it. Patara, you were spot on tonight..

The younger ones have not seen a downturn yet. They were too young in 2008 . . .
I believe our children have been dummied down in public schools to be follewers of the system. Our young people have lost the ability to use SIMPLE logic. I find it very disturbing and sad.

My introduction to getting ready for SHTF was Lynnette Zang on ITM trading. She has a mantra "Food, Water, Security, Shelter, Barter ability, Weath Preservation, Energy and Community."

I bought that too! We have priorities 😜
@@lorindahall1560 yep yep, we've used to do that back when we had a composting toilet. Drop a couple loads and plant a fruit tree in it. 😂
People who don't believe it's real...I bought a case of Walmart Great Value canned chicken breast in April, it was slightly over 20.00. Today, on the Walmart site, 35.50.
That’s almost double!
I appreciate this video so much. We’re absolutely not in a financial position to purchase gold/silver because there’s other needs that need to be met first. Would I love to be leveraging our finances to improve our long term financial health? ABSOLUTELY!! But we’re still on the beans, bullets, and bandaids phase right now and that’s ok. We’re doing as much as we can, as fast as we can, with the limited resources we have. 🤷♀️
After 2008 I have been preparing in slow-mo for something like this. A divorce set me back a bit but now am fully engaged in getting prepared - you can see whats coming. I am a fan of WWII history and my mother grew up during the depression and war and her stories have helped me immensely. If you want to learn how people make it thru a tough scenario read some books, even historical fiction books, on the people who lived in London during the Blitz. They had some time to prep for war and rations came, they turned every piece of grass to a garden but they kept.......on ....going! Even when the Germans bombed a neighborhood 2 blocks away, you got up the next day and went to work if your business still stood- if not you helped the cause and helped others! It was definitely tough. Their motto of "Keep Calm and Carry On" means a whole lot more to me now than it ever did, and I am glad I have the peace of Christ during all of this
gold and silver is just another part of a well rounded prep plan
wealth for after S H T F and useful durning when barter items are exhausted
I love what you say people need to watch you all the way through congrats on sending these love words to the community is pray they listen thanks PATERA
Bought my first pressure canner yesterday , researching a lot before I use it , got a simple Presto one to start with , really excited !!!!!
Me also. There is a learning curve. Had to toss first go round. Researching and studying.
@@bettyjeanmckinstry5938 we inherited an old pressure cooker. I need to learn how to use it SOON. Got a freezer full of meat we should can.
I've watched a channel I believe is called Homestead Heart. She has a lot of canning videos. Very informative.
Patara + Dan + Pinball + Jeremiah = Words of wisdom to live (survive) by.
Dan who?
@@blueridgepatriot7498 Dan from I Allegedly. I also listen to his videos every day. Patera recommended him.
I'm there with you......we are going through......together...
AndWeKnow is another great one but only on Rumble. With all the censorship going on, soon YT will be only Cat videos and Cooking shows. Try Rumble for a refreshing alternative to leftwing censorship. Also see Bongino. And how can i forget Salty 🧂 🧂 🧂...
Don't forget Alaska Prepper
Preach, sister! We are kindred spirits! This is straight up, truth. It’s the gospel of survival. I’m focusing on two areas: water & more storage. Thank you for sharing your heart and knowledge because this is so important! 🙌🏻
Thanks to channels like yours, we’ve been stocking for a while now and have checked into silver also. Thank you for your diligence!
Gold and silver are fine for a mild economic collapse, but when SHTF for real, they'll be way too many people looking to trade it for food. What happens when there is a sudden overabundance of gold and a severe shortage of food? The price of gold, measured in food quickly plummets, especially when there is no end in sight. Who would trade their limited food without knowing when it would end?
This person gets it.......
Patera, I subbed to all those guys because of you recommendation except the ninja, I think he lead me to you. I have stacked lots of silver and some gold. But not till I prepped 5 years of long term food for my family. Glad I have it! Every year I buy basic otc meds, fish antibiotics, and make sure any prescriptions we might have are filled early. All my pans are cast iron. Your advice is so valuable and delivered is an entertaining way! You rock!
My eyes are wide open and I'll speak my truth. Thank you for being here. xo
I’d love to hear more about the fish antibiotics! Are they actually human grade? Or is “human grade” just another restriction the gov’t came up with?
@@tarawyant9853 that's a catchy govt label. Check out thomas labs fish mox
@@222valas thanks so much!! Checking it out now :)
Arpad from the Starpath Academy channel lived through hyperinflation in 1990s Romania... He confirmed that many people with precious metals often ended up trading them for food at way below the actual value. If you can hold it until you come out on the other side, it's a great way to protect your wealth. But if you don't have your basics you will lose it.
THANK YOU!
Exactly, and if your lucky enough in the future years to find a farmer willing to sell you a big bag of oat groats, what will he take,
Coinage or that nice big bottle of olive oil.
PATARA, you have common sense and Wisdom beyond your years!!!
GOD BLESS YOU❣️🙏🏼❣️
I have thought about this (silver and gold) many different times, and every time I came to the same conclusion... In a survival situation, I would NOT take any silver or gold as trade UNLESS there was a thriving local economy that accepts silver/gold... If there isnt one, I would not take any gold or silver in barter, because it would be useless to me... Also, I will never trade security items except with trusted family members... Do NOT trade security items with anyone else because you would be trading off items that will enable your possible enemies the very thing they need to kill you and take away everything else you have.
Patera thank you for being a sensible realistic voice of encouragement and support. God bless!!!!
The people of venezuela used gold and silver and has helped them greatly.
Venezuela is the PERFECT CASE STUDY. and you are absolutely correct. I agree with her...she says WHEN & IF you have everything covered...then do silver & gold. I totally believe 8n having some
I soo look forward to your video every day!! I love your no nonsense tell it like it is no BS ing approach, I love your passion and integrity!! you are inspiring! I have just s tiny homestead with 7 chickens and 450 square feet of garden space and hardly have time daily to cook dinner or take a shower lol I don't know how you do all you do and add in making videos!! mad respect for you Patara!!❤ thank you 😊 💓
Gold and silver is for after the SHTF not during the whole world crapping the bed. You are spot on with this.
You made some great points here about Gold and Silver vs essentials.
Great information, especially regarding medication. Thank you so much patera. 🙏
Yes, first things first. God bless you!
My grandmother used to say "you can't eat dirt", but you have some seeds and you can survive. Another video I watched on the history of corn cribs earlier today reminded me: growing tomatoes is fun, but Appalachia folks and their animals lived or starved on how well their corn crop filled their corn crib through the winter. Hominy cooking process, popular in some cultures/areas, releases vital nutrients from the corn and can be made into grits or tortillas -- that regular ground corn flour does not have.
I have huge cans of hominy"love some mexican foods"and i figured if I'm going to be canning i am canning me up some pasole.
My grandad had a corncrib. I remember shucking a lot of corn to fill it several times over! The entire family of grandparents, parents, aunts & uncles, and cousins would work several days filling it up! We ate our fill of grits, corn pone, cornmeal muffins, and cornmeal pancakes with Grandad's sugar cane syrup. He fed many a hog that filled our freezers, and the cows got the corn stalks & shucks. Those were the days, and this younger generation doesn't have a clue what's about to hit them. My son grew up knowing how I stocked our pantry. Now he's got his head in the sand, and I don't know how to shake him out of it. Smh!
@@plnl2853 or wiping!!
@@teresayeary8856 you bet! They were in my grandparents outhouse until the late 60’s.
Great advice! Just remember that you can make colloidal silver from that maple. Great anti-biotic. I used it for fly strike and pink eye and it was effective.
Topically or internally? And thank you
@@candacepeterson3218 Both! Also Manuka honey and you can mix colloidal silver with it for double protection from infections.
@@candacepeterson3218 you can drink it, use in eyes & ear's, I use it with coconut oil on wounds.
I sacrificed 2 rounds at the start of the pandemic*. Made alot of saturated surface spray.
@@candacepeterson3218 Topically. The fly strike healed amazingly fast. Same with the pink eye.
For dinner tonite we had ham, fried green tomatoes, mashed potatoes, salad. The ham was the only thing we bought. Feels good. After dinner, picked snow peas and green beans. Gave the rabbits kale ( happy bunnies)
Good advice. I think communication equipment should also be part of preps, short wave radios, ham radios etc.
Will need to protect it ,in fariday cages,or emp will take out ur radios
Husband thought we had enough food for a year. When I finally took inventory found out we weren't even close. He was even shocked we didn't have enough canned goods to be able to open one can a day. A bit stressed I must say, but I will make it with God's help
I have been feeling the same way about this, and everything you said makes sense! We need to be getting out of debt and doing as much as we can with what we have, where we are - now.
You are one of the most sensible people on the RUclips pertaining to survival
Agree. Gold, silver, copper will not feed you, keep you warm, protect you from danger etc.
Silver and gold help after an implosion and what comes after. The slogan you can’t eat gold and silver is true but it has its purpose just like food has the purpose of being eaten.
My tomato plants are six foot tall and growing. Lots of butternut, kiwi, cucumber, potatoes and beans. Plus medical herb garden.
You may not be able to eat it now but that is going to fill some pockets in the near future. No reason you can’t do both.
Go fo it! I don't have the $$$$ to do both, therefore, food must come first. I would bet that the majority of our middle class CANNOT do bothn and would guarantee that we all wish we could. So good luck
Some people can't afford both
and should do both.
Thank you! Doing what I can, working on debt while stocking up. Just wish my children would listen for their families. Only one is debt free and working on her pantry.
How wise, make it through the critical phase. Even having a homestead for years you made me realize I needed to be buying can food, because you are right I can't grow everything. Then during spring planting we got sick. We are still getting it in the ground, but late. Our goal, to make it through. Great info, thanks. Blessings
Has anyone else had their garden raided? We went to pick the squash, green bean s, and the cucumbers. All that was left was the cucumbers. Guess they don't like pickles. We weren't real upset but it costs money for heirloom seeds, water, and fertilizer. Our fertilizer is cow manure (processed) an bag and leaves mulched.
Wow! You need a trail cam or something!
Squirrels and Rabbits.
There is a prediction that someday food will be more valuable than gold. We seem to be quickly approaching this.
Every time I get on your channel your subscribers have increased by 1000. You go girl!!! You ARE making an impact and people are hungry for your wisdom.
I absolutely love listening to you and all the advice you have to share. At some point could you talk about how you collect water? I’m assuming you have rain barrels and such. Thanks for all you teach me!!! 😘
Patara, every time Kroger puts chuck roast on sale for half price. We pick up a lot and then I can it for beef tips or beef stew. After it goes through the pressure canner, it taste like a very tender steak. Today, I canned 6 quarts of beef tips. The smell is driving me crazy, I love beef tips. It gets hard smelling it all day and not having it for dinner. Tomorrow I'm canning beef stew for hubby. We spent our extra money on 20 pounds of chuck roast. The main thing is we are getting extra protein in our pantry. In Prescott Valley, Arizona chuck roast goes on sale about once a month.
I saw a cartoon illustration and it made me lol! A family of 4 were sitting around the dinner table holding forks and knifes in their hands, looking at a platter of "gold bars" that was beaming with light in the center of their table. The artist was me.
Love you too Patara!!!!! May God be with you and your family!!!!
