    Thank you JR. I started as a competition shooter, reloader, hunter and backpacker. I got involved in scouting and filled the role of a Boy Scout Scoutmaster for a long time. I think that I learned more about scouting than the scouts. In the last three years I saw a lot of problems that could change our world and got more serious about prepping.

    Exactly. I’ve already identified where I need to improve on regarding my prepping things such as good radio communications for the group, having a large battery (with Solar capability) to power any items, among things to improve. The point is to take an honest assessment of where your “need improvements” are and continue your prepping. 👍🏾🇺🇸

    Great info! I'm always rechecking my stock piles of supplies. My latest "thing" is making sure I have enough pet food. My animals aren't picky, but I need to be sure I have what I need to keep them healthy. I add extras to my foods, so I've started adding extras for them, as well.

    Greetings from Tennessee. While I understand what you are saying about not focusing on bug out bags and bugging out unless it's a last option, I cannot help but notice you don't talk about a "get home" bag. The average male walks 2.2 miles per hour. If you're 100 miles away from home (close if in a car) you are 3 to 5 days from home. I have two G.H.B.'s; one for intrastate and one for interstate and throw whichever is appropriate in the truck. Nothing fancy in them, just basic shelter, first aid, fishing kit, and fire starters. We take distances for granted because of driving instead of walking places.

    My opinion regarding prepping is that no single person is an island and in bad scenarios people join efforts. I think the "T" person will be best in this: be an all rounder to skills and prepps and and excel at something. Be the best gardener in your group, the medic, the security guy, the electrician, the plumber. Based on my experience in the collapsing '90s in Eastern Europe, skills will be bartered, work, and times.

    DIY, I have been a prepper, and before that, a so called"Survivalist", for over 40 years now. As an ex Cold War combat soldier, I have been preparing for many scenarios, not just one or two. As you say, admittedly, it is almost impossible to prepate for every possible scenario, but, as the saying goee, if you fail to plan, you plan to fail.

    I definitely need to work on the organization aspect! I did think about an elderly family member who has Parkinson's though, so I found a used, folding walker and wheelchair at Goodwill to store in my garage. That way if we needed to bug out and he didn't have those items, I have a backup for him to use. I might also grab a used pair of crutches in case anyone ever needs them.

  • @StevieG777

    Hey JR, regarding comms I'm in a similar boat and thought I'd share what I've settled on, at least for now. I got my GMRS license (cheap and no test, and entire family can be on the same license). With a couple handhelds and good mobile I should be able to reach a few miles (maybe more). My rationale is that the need to transmit long distance will likely be small and so the barrier to entry with HAM may not be as needed as I think. I also have a good all-band shortwave radio to at least receive longer distances. Maybe that's flawed, but that's what makes sense for right now. Someday I might tackle the HAM radio thing.

    • @beatriceannbaker3350
      @beatriceannbaker3350 4 месяца назад

      In addition to GMRS, you might consider CB radio. Contrary to common belief, it is not defunct. Entry into ham radio is fairly easy. The entry-level tech license is easy to pass and gives one access to communications in the VHF & UHF spectrum. There are several good study guides available and most urban areas have clubs whose members are willing to help. I use all three radio services.

    This video actually made me feel better about my plans for the year. Last year was focused on energy, food, and water storage. I wanted to start obtaining the means and skills to hunt. I already know how to fish, but adding larger game to my ability will help me be less dependent on major grocery stores. This hinges on whether or not we decide to have another child this year. If that happens then I'll be able to work on obtaining equipment, but I'll have to shift a more significant focus to my garden than spending time at ranges and stomping around in the forests.

    It's fine to have tech preps but they should be protected against other catastrophes. Take it from a long time prepper, preparedness changes with age. Bugging out may no longer be an option. Organization, it's very important to have itemized lists of what you have and where it is. Many different go bags for different situations.

      Well said. The one thing I didn't bank on was becoming homeless. I knew eventually, but not for a few years. Now, I have nowhere for my preps after all the years of struggle and hard work to obtain them. It's tragic.

      A really useful knot is the one commonly called a trucker's knot. It's a knot system that allows you to tie down a load and tighten the rope effectively before the final knot.

    Finally, I got my wife leaning towards my not being crazy for prepping. She works in a college, and they have a student who has made threats. She asked how much a bulletproof vest and helmet would cost. How could she protect herself from an active shooter? So, I showed her the concealed plate carrier and plates. As well as the ballistic helmet. Nice and light, compared to the full level 4 battle kit. No one is taking my beans.
    I had not thought of an active shooter at work, but she did. Prep for potentials if and where you can. Still working on getting her armed. To get her to the range, I must overcome that fear first. One mistake to avoid? Toys. I am now the proud owner of a 37mm smoke/flare launcher. It's not a grenade launcher that would require a tax stamp.
