You are a propaganda arm of the govt and msm, very transparent.
I stock up on can goods
THIS video is what I needed to hear. It gives me confidence and sanity! Thank you Kris!
@@eddiep812 This guy spews the lying propaganda of the govt/msm concerning a certain fake phirus, best stay away from him

Top tips how to start prepping:
1. Get a notebook and look for good tips and tricks. write everything down in that book. Always. After some days/weeks you can look what will be good for your situations. And start planning before you buy stuff.
2. Get your body/mind into shape. This is always good to do. Better now than later. Take small steps so you won't get overwhelmed or drop the good habits. Learn new stuff 1x a week in small amounds.
3. Try to get a steady source of income. And always be on the lookout for a better job or other way of income.
4. Get your home in order. Keep it clean and organised. Don't buy stuff that create a mess. Or stuff you don't need.
5. Get the basics before you do other stuff. Also check for stuff you can get for free or make yourself.
Please always stress on the importance of clean water.....water filters, water straws, water purification tablets.....NO one places enough priority on WATER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you cannot live W/O it....cant cook, clean, bake, bathe, ......on & on.................
I myself am now Prepping for 1st time Ever and although I don’t live in USA; I’ve Not seen or heard No one offering such imperative information to Survival and Prepping.
I’m loving all said information - Tips and so forth.
I now do my prepping in a more Calm, Stable, Clear-Minded way “Without any Stress 🥰
My Deepest Gratitude and Prayer’s to You 🙏👍🏻
#2 is such a great tip! To get your mind and body into Shape!
Facts on that number two item…keeping your muscular and cardiovascular endurance up is so important yet so overlooked by preppers.
Yes, during the Rona more people became interested and started buying these cheap everything in one " Complete" 2 or 3 day bug out bags. Filled with cheap stuff that hardly works especially during an emergency.
I got the impression while watching this video that it was almost geared towards a new prepper who has never seen one of your videos before, or perhaps never seen ANY preparedness video of any kind. Not sure if it was intentional, but I appreciate this approach for this video. Because of the thorough introduction of the who, what and why, I can easily share this with several friends and family who have expressed interest in getting started in preparedness. Thanks for all you do, as always!
I am a first timer so I appreciate it
He also has a course on Prepping
Dudes a feed suprised he doesn't show you how bunkers are built and how easily they are to breech 🤣
Considering it’s called “if I were to start prepping in 2022” I’m sure it was intentional. 😂
@@TraitorPotater
Exactly.... comprehension escapes many because of poor attention.
To keep from getting overwhelmed...
Get 3 day worth of food. Then get 3 more days worth until you have 3weeks then start over.
"If you watch only one video on prepping, you want it to be this one"...where I talk in circles, tell you nothing, and try to sell you my "prepping guide" for 20 minutes. Great. Thanks.
Thank you!
Exactly. 💯 waste of time
Oh dude!! I feel ya man! He just said nothing valuable other than, “get ready folks, cos it’s about to get real!
@@petebutler5139 which is exactly what they all have been saying and will continue to say.
At least he's providing some sort of information as opposed to your sarcasm... I really love when there's people out there taking time out of their day to inform others of potentially important matters and then the keyboard warriors come to the rescue
I took my family camping this weekend. Tested out a few prep items and made some memories in the process!
I love this ♥️
My "anti-prep" prep attitude is that I'm an outdoorsperson so I'll definitely use it all eventually even if nothing happens. Lol
I'm stocking up on homeschool supplies as well. This includes for all 12 years. Stuff like books, paper,, pencils, crayons, etc People forget children still need to learn. I've done it for 10 years and now teaching my grandkids. Also stocking food, water n meds. Don't forget the meds! Love your videos. Thanks!
No offense but it is the so called "educated world" that has gotten us all to where we are. Children need to know how to hunt, grow food, build shelters, self defense, human phsycology, and how corrupt governments operate
Adding the school supplies for my grandbabies. Thanks for the reminder.
A slate and lots of chalk. For each child.
It's great for spelling practice. Learning to write. Using it instead of workbooks for math practice. ( you go over it with them before erased and do the next lesson on back if teacher is helping another child) 1800s style.
BUY EVERYTHING !
In HUGE quantities!!
Jk, engage in your society, and actually change things
Why do they need to learn? I mean, in the Mad Max future that you guys think is coming there will be no colleges to attend, no businesses to apply for jobs, basically everything and everyone else will be gone and you will be living off the land with no utilities, no roads, nothing.
As a survivalist since the 1980s, I have learned that you don't prepare for a disaster. You prepare for your response to a disaster. There are only 2 responses: stay put or leave. You need to be prepared to do both 24/7/365. It is that simple.
Not also possible to leave
@@janthompson581 I don't understand your reply. If it is NOT possible to leave, then you have to stay put.
@@loturzelrestaurant sure. I have experience since the 1980s but I can always learn something new.
Got it in one!
I spent my whole weekend buying rice, beans, nuts, asprin, multivitamins, vacuum sealing them all. As well as semi long term assorted canned meats. Im safe for a few months. I plan on fasting every other day to space out rations if need be.
Lord knows most of us have the extra stored in the form of a flat tire xD
We’ve established that we can comfortably fast for two days.
May I ask what vacuum sealer you have?
When I got my Costco order via delivery, I brought bulk oatmeal and put some of it in a vacuum sealed mylar bag in a 5 gallon food bucket
Be carefully of the nuts, I have seen videos that say they will go rancid due to the oil that's in them. You should be able to find their shelf life on the net.
@@llamasugar5478 a geryon. Had it for years. Just started using it
I am disabled and dont have much money but i followed your advice . I get a few small preps each week i dont stress only get what i can aford and only what i eat Thankyou for all you advice i got all the outside survial skills but now i dont have the mobilty so my life is inside now. I thank god for every think and i feelsd blessed for what i can do.Thankyou again for all you give.
Bless you friend.
I'm assuming you are a believer, and if not, I guess this won't make much sense, so sorry. But, if you are, I've been sharing a dream that I had a few years ago. I can still see every detail in my mind, so it's definitely one of those dreams.
I was in my old house, except closer to the water than it really was, like my neighbohood disappears after my yard and was just the water. I used to clean my house withall the windows open to get circulation, which is what I was doing in my dream. I looked up & saw a tsunami! I was totally freaking out & all I could do was close all the windows. I was debating if I should just go out & die, or if there was possibly a spot in the house that was safest or what. Basically occupying what I deemed my last moments being busy & trying to figure out step 2.
Unrealistically, I was able to close all the windows & doors. The wave was high up over my house, and I just stood up staring at it. It hit! But, basically it just splashed my patio & got my doors wet. As I think about this, I have no idea what happened beyond my own house. But I was relieved & at peace at that moment, then the dream ended.
I believe that it is definitely good to prep, alongside doing God's will to the best of your ability. You will have an amount of struggle, but in the end, you will be ok. Just a little bit effected compared to the disaster. I hope this was a little encouragement for the days ahead. It is important to care about others as best as you can, but take care of yourself too. I wish you well & pray for you. I only left this as encouragement👍
Thank you both for your kind words 🙏 ❤
Same here what are the disabled; poor and on oxygen supposed to do I’m really getting freaked out
Power outage what should I do for my husband on oxygen any suggestions I have a gas generator only I have a strong feeling we’re doomed for death
My dad always says "if you're ready for EMP, you're ready for just about anything". He's definitely right.
"If there was ever a time to get ready, it's now." I can't agree more as a person who just started getting into prepping a couple weeks ago.
Now as in there is no better time than the present.
As for history, there have always been times like this. The only thing that will cause a worldwide collapse of society is probably going to kill 99% of people within the first couple months.
Not much some rice and beans and potato plants going to fix...
And now you've been prepping for 6 months. Congratulations, it goes fast doesn't it?
And hopefully you're far farther along than you were when you originally made your post, if you are then here's my clap on the back.
Look at us now 😅
Number 1: work on your mental health.
Without a strong mind, no matter how prepped you think you are it'll go out the window if you can't handle or manage stress (your own or others around you)
Yy

I recommend when storing grain or anything else in a bucket, to remember to mark all the sides and top of the bucket to make it easier, especially if buckets of food had to be transferred quickly to a different location.
I also recommend cutting out the directions from the bag the food was stored in, and put it in a Ziploc baggie or laminate the directions, and then secure it to the bucket. This way anyone who has the food will know how to cook it, just in case you pass away, or you're located in a different area.
Good tip. I do this with everything I buy and put in glass jars. Just cut out recipe and skip in the jar.
@Angie Brooke Not if the food is free of pests when you put it in it's long term storage, and as long as you take reasonable precautions. If you're getting grain or cereals from the grocery store, put it in your freezer for a few days, then winnow to get any bugs out. The bugs will be dead and you can store the product safely.
Or try dry canning . Or freezing. Or buy stuff that's already prepped for long-term storage and make sure you rotate it and check the seals regularly.
@@goldengryphon I like buying things like that in the Winter and putting them outside for a few nights. (in a container, so that no animals get to them)
@@wishingb5859 If you live somewhere it gets cold enough, that's a great plan for putting things away. It rarely gets that cold for that long here.
@@goldengryphon Yeah, I live in the Northeast. January and February generally have many nights below freezing.
Kris I am so grateful for you calm , and practical advice. Too many prepping channels are scary.Blessings to you and your family 👍🙏🙏😊
So agree..Chris is the only one still giving practical advice..
Canadian Prepper went off the rails with the Russia thing. Had to quit.
Follow this one simple
@@Mr_Luca82 what happened if you don't elaborating a little?
@@karkkimarkkinat2109 Check out the topics of his videos. That should be enough to show you how he has changed his format.
I think for new preppers they need to know they need to worry about getting all they can and organizing later. My home is a disaster right now with preps everywhere and alot of things needed to be put in mylar bags, dehydrated or canned. Right now I could feel totally overwhelmed or realize not everything is going to expire just because it's in your house. That bag of rice can wait a week before it goes in mylar bags and those apples can still wait a day or two before I have to dehydrate them. I felt like everything had to be done yesterday when i first started til I calmed myself down and just did what actually has to be done first and just follow that logic. Just get it in your house and then calm down and do what you can without making yourself crazy. Just get it!
Thanks for the video. I'm sure there's alot of new preppers out there right now, seeing for the first time what's going on. Waking up can be scary..
Freeze dry goods 1st. Food grade buckets canning jars & Zip lock!*
😂 this is how I started 2 yrs ago and still do! I buy "extras" at every market trip. I keep them in my "mudroom" till it's overwhelming. then I take half an afternoon to package and store food properly.
This is how I feel. My place is just bags. Now to organize and date. I have donated as well
Same here, I buy it when I see a good deal, or when I'm in an area and see a store I don't usually shop at (sporting goods, hardware, etc.) Then I bring it home, pile it in the dining room, and organize it as I have time, usually the following weekend. At least it's in my house!
Great video my husband use to make fun of me when I would buy 3 packages family size of paper towels toilet paper when I would shop (precovid ) once covid hit he was so happy that we had all these items and were not out there in the streets with everyone else trying to find tissue and paper towels. We were so stocked that we didn’t need to buy anything for almost all of 2020. He now is the stocker of paper towels and toilet paper lol 😂
Same. I never knew I was a prepper, I just bought in bulk when items were on sale Pre-2020. I don’t think I did toilet paper shopping until summer of 2020 because me and the preppers already had our supplies and ironically by summer of 2020 they were giving it away for FREE by me. 😂 so I stocked up again not only for me but I donated to the homeless shelter. Prepping isn’t about hoarding or running to the store when there is an emergency and taking from others it’s about being prepared for the emergency and being able to share with others. The most important thing you can have if things go down is all well read Bible and a physical copy to share.
My family would make fun of me too until Covid and then I had enough to share with them. They appreciated that toilet paper.
I had to laugh seeing people with shopping carts full of toilet paper but no food
There is a facet of prepping I never see anything about. A very important thing to think about and plan for so you have a better understanding what to do when disaster hits home. That is - you, and everyone else, WILL be disabled when disaster hits. You WILL be injured and not functioning anywhere near 100%. You may be physically injured, you may be in shock, maybe just profound sadness, maybe just confusion and being overwhelmed, but you will not be anywhere near fully capable. That is something which should not be ignored. There will not be any "time outs" to recover or regain composure. Written plans can help. Cross training could also help. Having equipment manuals ready to go can help. You know how to do everything, but what if you are broken and can't do anything? Does anyone else know what to do? Everybody will be disabled to some extent. When the time comes, this will be a huge factor in your survival.
I was lucky to move 4 years ago from Cleveland Ohio to a home in a national forest in Kentucky. Been prepping for many years and I will never stop telling others they need to prepare. Love your channel
I moving from Mid Missouri to Northern New Mexico. I bought a unimproved plot of land on the Rio Grande just to expand my preps.
Im still in the Cleveland area. I am better off than a lot of people around me, but I still have a long way to go. Hoping to move south in another year or so, if we make it that long.
Brother, I did just start over. We lived in Costa Rica for 2.5 yrs. We paid off all of our bills, sold everything we owned(including 30 yrs of gear, food, firearms, ammo, medical and survival gear. Well, the wife wanted to move back on April 1st 2022. We moved out in the rural Kentucky woods with acreage. I just spent 13k on getting a handle on basic preps, medical, weapons, ammo, tools, seeds and survival gear. What a pain.
Kris I signed up for your newsletter four time. I’ve never gotten one! Thank you so much for this video it is so relevant for those who are starting out today, in their preparation journey. I agree with you, when I first started it was just not what you like to eat not nutritional . Along the way I have begin to pick up equipment and becoming more precise and filling in the holes in my long and short term pantry. When disaster hit with my pressure cooker croaked, and my dehydrator plastic tray’s fell apart. I replaced the dehydrator and replaced the pressure cooker soon. I am a lot more prepared and I thoroughly enjoyed your preppers roadmap! What a great accumulation of practical plan. Stay safe out there!
I grew up on a farm. My mom was always the one to take care of the garden. Now that I'm older and have more time, I planted my first garden this year. I love working in the yard but since I started my garden I have found it to be a great way to relieve stress and my anxiety.
We are meant to be with nature.
As a single mom, it took me years to get even 3 months food and money put away. Then I lost my job unexpectedly and had to use what I'd prepped. I know that's what it's there for but it's SO frustrating that it happened now. I feel like I don't have time to replenish before it gets really bad.
Single mom here too, low income due to chronic illness. I’m watching out for stuff at rummage sales and thrift stores and have been training my body and mind. Learning bush craft skills. Talking to friends and family about holding up with them out in the country. I do bodywork so I have skills I can use to trade for food and supplies.
So many free YT videos to learn survival skills- both in wilderness using the bare minimum of tools and also urban survival using general stuff that’s commonly found in most homes & businesses and sometimes in the garbage or on the curb
Same here, I am from France. I started some preps then had to use up my stuff due to difficult financial circonstances. Now I am starting again but money is an issue. I cant build as fast as I would like.
Lost 75% of my prepps about a year ago (one of life's bump in the roads). I've just been getting a little bit here a little bit there ever since. I've focused on the basics. The electrical goods and the higher priced items have been the bigger problem, dehydrators cost double what I paid for the previous one for instance. I Try to do a little repurposing for some of the outdoor gear, read some of my reference books for skills and just hope it's enough. Please don't give up, it soon adds up.
It sounds like God prepared you for your storm and taught you in it. Even Jesus was led by God into storms but he was able to nap and took his authority over it when the time was right. You were never alone, God was not only with you then and with you now but he was with you before you lost your job and helped you to get ready for that. I’m sorry you had that difficult time, I pray that it grew you for better times. I pray that you’re growing confidently with an even better prep this time and also mercy to be able to help others out if needed. The most important thing you can do for a prep, and I said this in another post, but it’s true, be renewing the line daily and Scripture in Prayer. God is only good. He didn’t even create the evil, and one of God’s names is provider. If you’re listening to him it’s going to be a lot more peaceful as you go through things. Make sure you have a physical copy of the Bible. I’m feeling called to encourage you to read Ephesians. And I’m praying for you to have blessed relationships and peace. When you’re a child of God the Devil can be told to shove off. Really pay attention to win what’s really going on a spiritual. I read today that when you’re a friend of Jesus you listen and obey him. It’s important to have Jesus as a friend right now.
Congratulations. Your awareness saved you 💪🏼 awesome
Hi there, long time watcher first time comment! My grandfather was a child in WWII and made him a prepper experiencing that, he handed that down to my mother and with the recent times I have really started to understand why they were prepping. I have always thought it was a good idea and my fiance and I started prepping during lockdowns. Thank you for your vids!
Please always stress on the importance of clean water.....water filters, water straws, water purification tablets.....NO one places enough priority on WATER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you cannot live W/O it....cant cook, clean, bake, bathe, ......on & on.................
I appreciate your calm approach to prepping. I'm behind in supplies but also the only one in my household who believes it's wise. Trying to get ideas but some channels only accomplish raising my blood pressure.
Thank you Kris. I cannot afford to sign up but I have recommended your channel and course to all those in my circle.
I started prepping in 2016. Not really knowing where to start I got a first aid kit, cheap knife, emergency blankets and radio and cast iron pans. At the time I was living with my daughter and her family because of health reasons and the loss of my apartment due to fire. Soon I discovered dehydrating and drove my daughter nuts lol. I'm in my own place for the last few years and now have a prep room full of food and gear. I wish I had discovered you and others back then.
My 9-tray dehydrator is coming today. Any tips?
@@justwannasay5454 Lots! You may get the best tips from RUclips. One good tip is to buy bags of frozen veggies and fruits and dehydrate those. Easiest and cheapest. And if you dehydrate onions, do it outside lol.
How long can the food last if you dehydrated?
@@supergg07 When stored correctly in a cool, dry and dark room or cabinet it can last for years. Needs to be vacuum sealed in bags or jars with added oxygen absorber. Foods with fats like powdered eggs won't last as long.
I actually started to prep last year once things were okay-ish. Ive mainly watched your channel to know what to do and how to do it
Me too )
Same here. I have yet to open the Prepper's Roadmap, but will soon.
I have to be careful to buy only foods I really will eat if stores run low and it's not really safe to go to out there.
@@MissyQ12345 isn't the idea that if you are starving you will eat anything? don't like beans? oats? too bad
@@lacee7494 Spot on Lacey. What's with the "I dont like_____so I'm no going to put it in my prep storage. Your exactly correct, a starving person WILL eat anything.
This video is so good that everyone needs to listen this one . I was without power and water during and after Maria Hurricane 🌀 September 2017 for about 9 weeks 👀
Help is not coming 👀
Thanks
Great video. I went through the buying a lot of stuff phase 20 years ago. It's good that new preppers are told that they really don't need a lot of the expensive prep supplies. Right now they need Food.
Even in the UK food shopping prices are already going up. I know prices are only likely to go up
To save a little bit of money try going by your local Walmart and asking the bakery workers if they have any extra buckets they're planning on getting rid of and if you could have them. I just started working at Walmart and every day I work I bring home a new bucket. They are food grade.
Awesome, thanks for the cliffs notes version. I've been in and out of prepping but a refresher is exactly what I've needed.
Just came out of Walmart. Only about five packs of chicken left on the shelf. I know it’s Monday, but that is still not the norm.
Living in earthquake country, I've built our plan around a large earthquake. The challenge I've found is how to store the water/food, in case of structural damage. I have expanded my kit to last a few weeks (at least), and takes into account our dogs and elderly neighbors. I've found the dry-goods I purchased most recently (mid-2020) have tripled in price. TRIPLED! Holy molly. I don't suspect a real 9.0 hitting, but power outage (extended), flooding (has come close) or other... we're decently prepared. If the end of the world comes.. I suspect I'll have a glass of wine and an MRE before I go down...
Thanks for this video. My greatest concern is not being anywhere near my home (where all my supplies and safety are) if something was to happen.
My husband is determined to go on a vacation in a month. I will insist on a full tank of gas every night, and a container in the trunk.
I been feeling it in my gut. Started planting already just to practice and have it down to the t. Really need to prepare more
1. Do a risk assessment- what is the most likely threat? where are you most vulnerable?
2. Understand the core pillars of prepping:
Shelter, water, food, (survivability - inc fire, heat light) medical, waste, fuel, security, communication, mobility, community, repairability.
3. Scalability, the rules of three, then redundancy, long term means once preps run out, ie longer term survivability & sustainability.
4. Write your own SHTF game plan.
5. Work the plan. (The most important bit of anything imho)? build skills and community.
Very good.
Thanks
Don’t forget barterability - items to barter with.
@@marycourt5559 Yeah...that is gonna' be food/fuel
If you are new to prepping I can assure you this is the only page you want to follow. He’s incredibly level headed, and only talks facts.
Def not the only channel to follow. But a very good one.
@@aprilk141 what else do you suggest? I’m new to this and overwhelmed 😩
I am VERY new to all of this( as in i have nothing stocked,) and to be honest VERY overwhelmed. There are alot of channels with alot of information. I cant afford to be overwhelmed or fearful. I understand i have a short time line. THIS IS VERY HELPFUL!
A great way to start is with what you normally eat from the pantry, but buy extra. If you like a particular pasta and sauce don’t buy one set buy 3 and you’ll be surprised to see that the dates last years. something as simple as well stored rice, beans, and salsa are both a complete meal and something you can store for a few years. But don’t buy something like tuna, mayonnaise, peas, and shell noodles if you won’t eat it or donate it BEFORE the expiration date, if you like that, buy a few meals worth so your simply buying ahead of the need or shortage. The point of prepping is so that when everyone runs out to the store, you don’t need to. The number one thing to prep with is a physical copy of the Bible that you read each morning asking God for guidance. Prepping allows you to have enough for yourself in an emergency, and to be able to share with someone less prepared.
You really do help so many people! Many thanks to you and your family for all the dedication you’ve given us to guide our families. I’m forever grateful! You are a blessing!
When is city prepping going buy an old town in the woods, so we all have a place to go when SHTF happens. He would be a good mayor!!
working on buying land in the next few months, but not quite a town :)
This one is for sale, it's a fixer upper but we can handle it
You've been watching a lot of walking dead probably ahahhaha, a city with him as mayor would be awesome
Another excellent video, Kris! The thing I like about your channel is that it's serious but also calm and rational. So many prepping channel hosts act as if they are CNN reporters broadcasting from a combat zone, when really they're standing in front of a boarded-up Dairy Queen about a mile from their front door. This channel is not that - so thanks!
Please always stress on the importance of clean water.....water filters, water straws, water purification tablets.....NO one places enough priority on WATER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you cannot live W/O it....cant cook, clean, bake, bathe, ......on & on.................
Alaska Granny is also good to follow
Thanks Kris for being the voice of reason in these uncertain times. Love the pragmatic advice
Country living by Walter Veith is the best thing for you now
You do a great job at this. I wish I had your insight when I started. Now that I am stable in my own preps I use this as a way to confirm what I’ve done and to identify any holes
I started in 2020.. Bit by bit slowly.. Goal was to be able to bug in for 1 year.. When I look at whats been accomplished its pretty crazy.. If your starting out make a list and slowly work toward your goal. It's overwhelming at first, but if you can do 1 small thing a day it adds up fast
Great video! You've really leveled-up in the past few months. It feels like you're really stepping into your sense of authority.
Wow, thank you!
Thanks for this series. It helps me to realigned my current prep and strategize my prep from time to time. Cheers from Malaysia 🇲🇾
You are in the right place here . For years I've fallowed Chris through his steps and were lucky he wrote it all down . Beautifully , Thanks
Looking forward to it. I love that you can do a payment plan for it and that will help. I still have to wait till next month, June 2022, in order to begin it. I have been prepping for a few months now but having this course at my disposal to see what I might be missing is awesome. Looking forward to it.
Excellent video. Even though I've done some prepping for years it's always good to review what I might have missed.
What we are finding is that other ladies, mothers and wives are asking my wife what they need to do to get started. We aren't long time preppers but we're farmers who are now also preppers. All farmers are preppers for the most part anyways. Most of the men either don't feel it's really necessary or that they don't need advice. So I guess to us it seems like the women are leading the movement in our area.

@@kimgordon3695 amen, awesome
We live in the city but we garden and preserve and it's the same for us. We just did it because grandma did it and we enjoyed eating good for cheap.
I think so many women are thinking about this because we know if something goes down we can't go out and fight for resources. We spend a lot of time thinking about supplying and feeding our families anyway - I've always noticed that moms tend to notice when something is out or you've outgrown something, sometimes before you do! So women are used to planning ahead, to portioning supplies, etc. And the thought of 'what if we can't get to the store', I think sparks a wildfire in most women's minds. I know it did in mine!
I just found your channel and I really like the way you explain how to prepare for SHTF. Thank you so much Chris you are a good man. You are not scaring people and you are very patient. God Bless You and Your Family🤗🙏🏾✝️🌍☮️🕊️
Thank you City Prepping. I've been prepped in the past but increased my level dramatically over the past year. You offer the most comprehensive, reasonable, logical plan I've seen. I wish I had your knowledge many years ago.
I just tried a different system of gardening along with what I already have going, to test the effectiveness and see which would be easier. Already have existing plants doing really well so fingers crossed I can double the harvest for half the work 👍

So I have not been prepping long but what I have prepared I learned a lot from boy scouting growing up and living in a rental house with a new baby on the way has posed some interesting challenges however after watching this channel for many many months and starting to recognize and pay attention me and my very very pregnant wife have started to take it a lot more seriously I was able to get my hands on 55 gallon drums to store water and we've started a garden which is something my wife never thought she'd be able to do however it has proved exceptionally successful we're storing cans other things and every day seems like a new adventure now. I appreciate all the wonderful content that you have and you're very practical approach to it thank you so much
Invest in some cloth diapers. Even if it's diaper covers and tea towels. Also you can make rusable baby wipes from flannel. Just cut into squares . You could go to goodwill and get receiving blankets and cut up or search etsy. I am a grandmother and I have cloth diapers that I did test runs with so I'd know how to do it.
I love that you emphasized there isn't a "one size fits all" plan for prepping. People often take that approach to every aspect in life, whereas that's usually the first step to failure. When it comes to prepping, you not only have to consider what food you will actually eat/be able to eat when SHTF, but also what foods will grow with little to no effort and no extra water (other than the typical rainfall in your zone). If you live in a mountainous area with rocky soil, more tropical foods like pineapple, yucca, hot peppers are likely not going to grow well, meanwhile wild elderberries, wild grapes, wild roses, some conifer seeds, and some berries grow well on their own and could sustain you. Learning which native birds and rodents are in your area are vital so you can build the appropriate traps; in most places, you can trap raccoons and crows, but you should also know if you get deer, quail, frogs, etc. Knowing the diversity of natural resources around you will be what truly saves you in the end. If you live in Idaho, don't expect to find flora and fauna native to Florida or Mexico or a coastal region to survive on.
One of the most important things I can think of that a lot of people overlook is preparing your overall health and fitness. You will need to be in the best shape you can be with the least possible medical complications you can have going into a difficult time or disaster.
As someone on meds, this is a huge concern. I've been putting back necessary meds for a few months and hopefully will have enough to taper off.
Recently was able to get my mom and siblings into prepping. The last few years have shown them that it's not as crazy as they previously thought.
Lol, just came back from shopping for some extra stuff. Thank you again for all your work in making informational videos. I am working on my 1 year supply atm. Fine tuning stuff. Today is vacuum seal floor and dry ingredients to make bread loafs, that way I can grab a bag that is ready to go and just add water and make bread easy. 20 kgs of flour = 1 year of bread in my case. When you have bread set all the rest is extra. Have a great day and week, thank you again for everything. Peace.
What do you put in your flour bag i only use yeast and oil with my flour?
@@Divinefemininemiracles depends on my bread, some will get salt added and others will get sugar. Often on the side while I make bread I will add either dried roasted oignons and garlic or dried fruits and nuts to make the breads more enjoyable. Everything I need is vacuum sealed and sorted in a way I can easily access and bake.
@@alantacitus thank you. Might do that too.
Very objective presentation, Kris. Thank you. And may God Bless ya'll. These are dangerous times indeed.
I just want to take the time to say, thank you for focusing on keeping us prepared and ready. As well as not terrifying us. we realize that things are getting bad and Are going to get worse. That’s the reason we’re here it seems like a lot of channels are creating more panic than preparedness.
that's the goal: focus on the practical to get ready.
I noticed that too! It's refreshing to get info in a calm manner.
So agree..Prepping channels have gone mad out there..
Thanks Chris. Sharing with my “new Prepper” friends.
Absolutely, couldn't agree more. Don't forget spices, even if it's nothing more than salt and pepper, it will make whatever you're cooking more palatable. We are closing in on that day, we've all been prepping for, but nothing we buy can prepare us for the psychological trauma that will impact every life. This is why I recommend adding a New Testament to your prep and committing yourself to reading it. Be brave, strong, courageous and caring.
Like your comment
I agree the psychological side in the long term is the biggest thing.
So very true. 2yrs ago volume started seriously SHRINKING & PRICE up 40-60% poor packaging & scarcity seems to be increasing.
Covid lockdowns alone should have been a wake-up call for everyone to at least start prepping for something worse.
Thank you for all your hard work and post to help others. You will never know how many you reach. I for one share what I learned from you and others with everyone will to listen.
Keep up the good job God has given you.
You are in my prayers.
Good Advice, but I have to say overwhelming at the same time. Not that I bury my head in the sand, but the truth of the matter is when it really hits the fan, no amount of stuff will save anyone of us. The only thing we better have at that point stored up is lots of Character.
We don’t know exactly what’s going to happen.Stay positive 👍
Thanks, Chris. An excellent presentation!
As someone who have went through his course during last session i highly recommend it guys after he finished through first of his students The fact he guides you through all points of prepping and even prepping parts we need to think about like knowing first aid links to first aid courses link to CERT team courses learning how to respond to natural disasters guides to learning how to use and maintain firearms including training so u feel comfortable using it. Making fire about being healthy and more it is 100% worth the money and the links to amazon for each item that he recommends so u don't get lost if u can't find a certain item in the store. This is one of the most through prepping courses i ever taken and now i feel more at ease knowing i can feed my family should a crisis evolves.
Please always stress on the importance of clean water.....water filters, water straws, water purification tablets.....NO one places enough priority on WATER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you cannot live W/O it....cant cook, clean, bake, bathe, ......on & on.................
I live by the 1 year supply of canned goods and I have a garden to one day put in if the weather would cooperate.
Never been a prepper, but I am one now. Stocking up on long lasting food items. At Walmart in the SPAM section, they have cans of beef and chicken, Plain Jane and about $7 for 28 ounces. God Bless
if I were starting now I'd be super nervous, more than usual. Things are going to be hard to come by, and soon!
better late than never...
Reminds me of an old saying. When is the best time to plant a tree? Answer, 20 years ago. Second best time? Answer, today.
2 Corinthians 6:2 - (For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)
Thank you for reminding me of 3,3,3. I'm so overwhelmed, under prepared and under funded. I have 3 months of pasta... Terrible start... But Walmart is always out so I stocked up over the last few months without realizing it. Lol
For non-perishable food check with local churches, charities, community centers & food banks. Get your water ready. Use empty cleaned and sanitized soda/juice bottles & ask friends/neighbors if you don't have any.
3 months of Pasta is better than having nothing!
This was how I felt too but now months later my little stash is growing. I am on disability so I mainly go to dollar tree, thrift stores and garage sales. I also use the food bank. I am very slowly adding more costly items. You can do it!
Hi from Syracuse NY USA everyone remember when buying food that you will eat ( family will eat) and different ways to do one subject (cooking) and security ( practice practice) etc.
I have not seen people discussing the tip to fill the bathtub with water which can be used to flush the toilet and to use for it for personal bathing (hand wash).
Great video Kris! I truly understood this week how much water I was really using every day after having to turn off water after a leak. I was fairly confident that I had enough, especially for only a day or so, and for the most part, yes, I was right. I had enough drinking water in 7 gallons containers and plenty of bottled water BUT I used a lot of water just flushing the toilet. And I realized that I was using half a water bottle just to wash my hands. And I did not even attempt to do the dishes during that time. All that to say, I thought I had enough but clearly, in a prolonged situation, it would not have been the case. Lesson learned though.
Hi, for emergency toilet: for #1 empty, rinsed fabric softener or detergent bottles with a wide opening, for #2 tear-resistant bin liners.
For hand cleaning and hygiene, wet wipes and disinfectants.
Saves a lot of water.
Outdoor plants like human urine mixed with wood ash and water. Since water will probably be at a premium you could pour it on the ground at a distance from the plants or you could also use gray water to dilute it before pouring closer to plants.
For solid waste you could use soldier fly larvae, they exist on it and the adults soldier flies don't land on things and spread germs like regular flies. There are videos about this. If we have methods to turn liquid and solid waste into something beneficial for the earth this would take care of some major worries.
I highly recommend the Road Map course. It's been a life changer for me and my family. 🌻
Wonderful!
I just started it. Pretty impressed so far, very organized and consice and the recommended items don’t cost a fortune
Thank you for this channel. I suffer from anxiety and it got worse after I had children. With the way the political environment is, it's gotten worse for me, but this info is helping me turn my anxiety to action and planning.
Each time is do any effort of prep even if not completed, I feel calmer.
Thanks Kris I always love your talks
The one mistake I made, I made at the very beginning of my preparedness journey and it was a fairly large one. I went out and bought a 6,500 watt gas only generator, converted it to tri-fuel with a kit and then hooked it and my BBQ up to my natural gas line. Very happy with all that to this day, but wish I had of bought an inverter generator instead.
What about a solar one?
First time viewer first time prepper minimalist who has close to nothing…starting to prep today you are my first video thank you
Great Video, Chris! Looked through the Preppers Roadmap program, great info also!
Bear Independent has a similar training program for new preppers in his "Prepper University" series. Looking your localities Emergency Management plan can help with the risk assessment portion of your program as the locality is ALSO looking at similar risks! Keep up the great work!
Thank you for training us for a new future based on the history of our world. Most of all (from a World War II American baby - now a great grandparent) - ADAPT to a selection of LESS. Life will return to the basic needed only. No more endless isles of different shampoos, cereals, meat and seafood, etc. Living by using less is not a bad life. It is a return to a frugal life with little to waste!
As always, a clear , concise and reasonable path to follow. Kris you do a remarkable thing… thank you.
Thank You Kris much Noteworthy information will follow your instructions.
Great video. Your adeptness at staying on point and voice control is really catching. Would like to see the extended version.
I couldn't agree with you more my friends this is exactly why I live alternatively and it's simple and small..
Hey Chris, thank you for this wonderful channel. The combination of practical advice combined with your calm demeanor and non-inflammatory approach to encouraging prepping makes it my absolute favorite in the category. Thank you for all of your time/efforts to bring us solid guidance. Have you read the book 'One Secon After'? I accidentally stumbled on it a few years ago - and at the time had never heard of an EMP, and all its likely repercussions. Out of all the 'what-if/dystopian/world catastrophe novels out there, this one is by far the most realistic, and it was overall great read, regardless of prepping mentality. The book was written based on 'what if' research done by the Pentagon.
it's a book i read every couple of years as a reminder of how bad it could get :)
Another excellent book is “Disaster Diaries” by Sam Sheridan. I’ve just finished it for the 3rd time. So much great survival info in there but in story form…
Thank you for the information Kris.
Thank you for the great job you have done
You have provided families options
You are by far the only person on this platform I trust. Loving your class
I appreciate that!
your course looks well laid out, definitely can see the effort put into the product
It’s going to be an interesting year to say the least
I just orders the Prepper’s Roadmap course. I am very thankful for your help.
I started prepping in late 2020. I had a really bad power outage in January 21st, 2022 and I had LED lanterns and portable batteries. That made my life so much better but I’m preparing even more for the next power outage
I did an experiment about 1-2 years ago before I got intentional about being prepared. I wanted to see how long I could go without going to the store for food. 3 months later I still had a lot of food, but decided I missed some of my treat items like cheese and fresh things. Now I’m trying to learn about cheese storage, and tracking what I have and where. I’m planning for variety and canning fruits and veggies. My body can’t seem to handle meat, so I’m looking into ways to long term store some of my favorite veggie meats for a treat too. I don’t want to depend on my freezer.
Waxed cheese lasts for 25 years apparently
Good idea. I am going to start dehydrating food. I have never done it. Am interested in drying mushrooms, peppers etc. Will be fun.
@@justwannasay5454 you can also get parmesan cheese 🧀 and good luck with the veg
Smart
Have you tried pressure canning yet? The family favorite is split pea soup. Great protein. I can’t seem to keep it stocked up. I like to can beans, too. Nice to open a jar of those, and melt some cheese on top for a nice meal.
Talk to your family about how everyone will get home and by when and what to do if people are delayed. I had a dream that it took me 6 months to get home after $%!7 happened but they were there and had survived. You don't want your family running around looking for you and putting themselves in further danger and if they are looking in the wrong places.
New viewer here! Just subscribed! I live in an apartment in a city in Canada, and have watched a view videos and purchased a few items, but haven’t sat down and made a solid plan. I appreciate the thoughtful and practical tips and will start with a 3 day plan. ❤️🇨🇦
Thx CP, First time stopping by and was very happy to see you do cover information on apartment living in the city. 😎
This man awesome. I buy what I can when I can I'm on SS but I doing ok so far be safe every one
20 years old. Got some basics and getting a job soon and wondering what else I should get. Needed this video 🙏🏼
Please budget. Don't prep for the fall of society and not have the money to replace a blown tire.
Speaking from experience
Thank you for the video. And salute to your volunteer work
