    Projects you can try are building bee hives, chicken coops, and duck houses. I always imagine a SHTF scenario coming down to more of a lack of food than a lack of bullets.

    • @paul7754
      @paul7754 28 дней назад

      Good thought. History tells us if you're not standing 'in line' like everybody else - they'll come for you anyway. There's a couple hundred million people you can ask about that - except they're dead.

    Excellent timing from the RUclips channel that i trust more than any other for this subject. On Friday, after not having inventoried my daybag/get home bag for several months, i sat down over the weekend and took care of it. I replaced what ive used in the field on hikes and daytrips, i tailor my bag based on the current season, and rotated out old food, batteries, ect and added a few new items that ive been wanting to implement. I feel more ready and prepared for whatever happens in the coming months and have been to Costco and Walmart to stock up on foodstuffs. This video popped up at the perfect time. Thank you sir!

  • @dodsonarmsco
    @dodsonarmsco 29 дней назад +4

    Excellent subject. One thing i would add is FM 5-12B3 this addition skill level 3 gives the dimensions and materials for building all kinds of culverts, buildings, roads, and obstacles. Improvised and expedient construction, mfg, and repair skills are the key to survival. I put out a lot of content on this subject over the last 10 years. You can screenshot many of the designs off of it.

  • @92bm80em
    @92bm80em 28 дней назад +1

    This is an often overlooked area. Plus, you will use the tools well before a shtf scenario. Great video. Would you mind showing a video on projects you can build with the kit or how to fix things around the home in preparation for shtf?

  • @daleodenbaugh9516
    @daleodenbaugh9516 29 дней назад +2

    I'd add a medium sized crescent wrench, handsaw, 10pnds 12 or 16 penny nails and 10 pounds of 8 penny nails both coated (green)

    Two items anyone with a Heat Pump HVAC system can buy & have spares of are. 1) Contactor, the main power contact points set that switches the system On/Off each time heat or AC is demanded. $10-25 just find out which Contact switch your unit takes. 10 minutes to change. 2) Start/Run Capacitor for the outside Condenser Fan. Fan stops, Capacitor is the problem 98% of the time, also only $15-25. Both these parts are easily accessed with hand tools. Simply shut off power to the unit at the main breaker power box on the side of the home. (This will save you hundreds, possibly thousands of dollars. Not all HVAC repairmen are honest with homeowners.).

    Always need tools handy. It helps to be a go-to guy for fixes in the neighborhood. Helping yourself and helping others' property and needs is being a good person. Stay Stoked.

  • @h20fowler2012
    @h20fowler2012 29 дней назад +2

    My dad always told me to have the tools. You may not be able to know how to use all of them, but someone does and if they do, you’ll have the tool.

  • @ScottAdamsVT
    @ScottAdamsVT 24 дня назад

    Love this. So much focus on all of the other "tools," and while they are important, can you make the necessary repairs on your shelter. While I sometimes wish I could master one skill and make a living off of it, I do take pride in being a "master tinkerer." lol. There's almost nothing I won't try to fix. Another video that some folks might find handy is a car kit. I have a tool box full of essentials for fixing a car. If I can't fix it with what is in that box, the car is getting towed. I also keep a few spare parts. I've got the old belt and a few spark plugs and wires that I threw in the trunk after my last tune-up. Just food for thought.

    good stuff.....we just went thru a blizzard that shut most of my area down for days with people stranded and homes collapsing....you name it we had it happen here...people were literally dealing with issues on the fly.....this is a great thing to think about adding to your kit...its not tacti-cool but it practical

    @johnstoker3328 19 дней назад

    Unfortunately many people do not have the knowledge to do simple repairs around the home. This lack of knowledge can be alleviated with the desire to learn. There are many books and RUclips videos available. I've been around beaucoup years and started in my dad's construction business and still use books and RUclips when I am stalled on a project. You can never have too many tools. Good video. Keep it up.

  • @stewarttrains98

    Those doors behind you, look great. As for tools, vice grips are a great tool to have. They can be useful in various ways.

  • @grainplaner216
    @grainplaner216 29 дней назад +1

    I suggest that you add a cat's paw nail puller, a set of nail sets, wood chisels, and cold chisels.

  • @mikerobinson3672
    @mikerobinson3672 27 дней назад

    Yard sales are your friend when it comes to this. Bought a lot of the tools I use today second hand. Only thing I would add is adjustable wrenches.

  • @Kq4hcuDan
    @Kq4hcuDan 29 дней назад +1

    I would also suggest people get used to using a mattock pick and shovel as well you can build trenches even booby traps including disabling APC/Tanks with building deep holes in the ground.
    As well keeping masonary drill bits as well

  • @OutlawCountryJamboree
    @OutlawCountryJamboree 29 дней назад +1

    you should add one of those little vape spoons from the weed shops to your kit for getting bugs our of your ear. Eddy Van Halen once had a june bug crawl into his ear and had vertigo until a Doctor removed it.

  • @cabeith
    @cabeith 29 дней назад

    Heck yeah! Love seeing you guys sharing vids like these. To many people who don't think about anything other than "cool guy" stuff for shtf scenario. It's great you're getting people to consider things other than security, like infrastructure repair and studying the charters of freedom. Because after you survive the kinetic event, you'll still have to rebuild and repair your community and local governments. Keep up the great work, we appreciate it.

    Great point, you can start cheap (say Harbor Freight) and upgrade as needed.
    Also, start upgrading your house, changing faucets, outlets, etc.

  • @dillanmccullough2697
    @dillanmccullough2697 22 дня назад

    Can’t agree more on this one. Don’t get me wrong, the high speed stuff is fun, fieldcraft is a blast, etc. All of those things could one day be crucial and I’m into all aspect of preparedness. However, there is no area of preparedness that has served me better and more frequently than accumulating a well rounded selection of tools and learning to use them. Sometimes we forget that preparedness isn’t just about SHTF, it’s about being equipped to handle everyday things like vehicle maintenance and home repairs without be dependent on some else. The irony is that most people who know how to build things don’t associate owning tools and having that skill with “prepping” and many self described “preppers” totally over look owning tools and acquiring the skills to go with them.

  • @phild8095
    @phild8095 19 дней назад

    Knowledge is the first step. Getting tools is second. Then Materials. But it is all useless WITHOUT PRACTICE.
    I've been working more with hand tools in the past couple years. Picked up brace and many bits at an auction. Giving those to my stepson. Gave him a draw knife a few months ago.

    As a Commercial Electrician, I need tools to do my job & I have a garage full (All kinds, not just electrical). It amazes me how many times I’ve been asked to troubleshoot something while I’m at someone’s house, and they have ZERO tools available. Not even a proper screwdriver to open a panel or switch or anything. WTF, how do they even function?! 😂😂

Like the video I expanded my bags carpentry bag like his, plumbing bag with wrenches my solvents and glues for pvc etc build a plumbing bag., electrical bag too I never know what I’m into it keeps me from having to travel home and get the rite tool

  • @catcentral3903
    @catcentral3903 19 дней назад

    I have a question. Might sound silly. I have never built anything before. I absolutely love learning new things. Do you have any suggestions on a book that could help me learn how to build if something goes wrong at my home. I can sew, cook and grow. I have prepped food and other things but i have 0 experience in building.

    • @STOKERMATIC
      @STOKERMATIC  19 дней назад +1

      Not silly - I have a few books on my shelf but it rather recommend going to local used book store - pick up construction, electrical, plumbing, workshop, etc books. Pennies on the dollar!
