The little town I live in has about 950 people and are not really preppers BUT many have gardens and chickens, many heat with wood, many have outdoor rainwater storage to water their gardens, many people pressure can from their gardens, there are orchards and fields and lots of cattle. This is just naturally a community where if people help each other and accept help, we would do well in SHTF.
Air pollution is a problem for people who have chronic respiratory problems.
The government wants 10 minute cities. Maybe 2 would be better?

Clueless
This is just rural area life. But, even the Red Cross says people should be ready to take care of themselves, their family, and their community in an emergency. Outside help doesn't always arrive quickly. Rural areas know this.
I drank water from y 2 k no problem

So hoarding ammo is bad!? 🤔 🤫 🤣
😂😂😂😂😂
Water 💦 has no taste.
Of course it does. Depending on where your water comes from, it definitely has the taste of the aquifers and mineral characteristics of the land.
Based on what I have been seeing in the redacted news, I would also recommend that you include your pets and livestock in your preps....mainly their security and safety. Pay attention to your animals behavior is part of being situational awareness. 🦮🐱🐖🐎🐑
If you make the mistake of hoarding....at least hoard food. This is not about short term calamity....its gonna be long term.
Totally agree about physical copies of prepping books. Drives me nuts that so many of them are offered as digital copies only. Make it make sense! 😞
I AGREE
Print it out yourself and save the money
You could save it on a Memory Stick for a laptop, or SD card for a mobile (cell) phone.
@@donovanwilson418 Know I could, but am not going to add 3-ring binders to my bookshelf. Will happily pay more for an actual book.
Coffee filters work great as a pre-filter for your rain catchment system
Grabbed a pile of them when dollar tree was still $1
Cheap too !
Rule #1 don't hoard
Rule #2 hoard water
What do you think about people that is all the time showing their pantry and cellars? I always think about how dangerous it could be .
I think those people are justifiably proud of what they have accomplished, and they also want to inspire others to stock up for a rainy day. But yes, it can be dangerous because there's nothing people like better than to talk about what someone else has. And that's when someone decides they need your stuff.
I left South Carolina in 2000 because I believed that we were going to see a drastic change in the economy. I bought a farm in Kentucky. I’ve been preparing for 24 years now and still not convinced I’m ready.
I’m in South East Kentucky myself. I consider Kentucky one of the best States to live. Low population density, varied terrain, and no nuclear power plants.
@@loneranger6016 I’m in Breeding Ky
If you have the basics covered, then you ready, Dude.
👍👍👍👍
@@justinburkett5578I used to live on Greenbriar Rd. Now in Burkesville. Small world.
You will never get totally ready. That’s okay, it’s just the way it is. Your so far ahead of 98% of people ! Enjoy the day ahead . You’ve earned it !!
My husband & l go to yardsales and l'm always on the lookout for paperback/hardback books for our "survival library." I have collected a very nice geouping of books from gardening, electrical, medical, car repair, home repair, plumbing, etc. If l can't use them, I can trade them.
I get mine from discount stores such as five below and Ollie’s.
Hard copy info. Is great to have on hand!
I shop a local thrift store dumpster. Hard to believe how many preparedness books (most in excellent condition) I’ve salvaged in the past year. I agree 💯% that a great paper & ink preparedness library is a necessity.
Im splitting up a nice dry Ash tree while watching this. Ill be nice and toasty this winter!
In the prepper world,
3 is 2
2 is 1
1 is none
However, I say even in the prepper 300 flashlights is just too many, hoarder.
Especially if you fail to cover other area of your prep.
Many Flashlights 🔦 make one very bright.
I am 67 yrs old and I started when I was 24 yrs old stocking my pantry cabinets and freezer with food. I also stock up on toilet paper, shower items and personal items for my family.
I hate going to the stores every week. Thank you for all the information on prepping
I’ve heard an electric car fire is impossible to extinguish. The vehicle has to be submerged in water completely for 24 hours because it can reignite multiple times.
I read that it took firefighters over 50k gallons of water to put out a tesla on a California highway a few days ago
Yep
People that Prep need to test out their new and old equipment because there are products say they can do things that they can’t or it takes certain conditions to work!! Test in all conditions not just perfect no rain conditions you need to know how it works after three days of rain and everything is not in perfect order! If not you will regret it!! And I found out that in really bad weather conditions having 8 charcoal briquettes will get a fire stated better than most of the fire starters sold in store s as long as you keep them dry and a little charcoal lighter fluid, or plain 90% rubbing alcohol and even with out starter fluid it will work great even when products like will light and products that work well in semi wet conditions but will let you down after a 3 day heavy rain event!
I will say asfar as lithium batteries go, ive had my phone go into thermal shut down while charging because it got hot in the car in the sun, im glad i noticed because i believe it definitely would have burst eventually. Though these devices have protocols in place to prevent batteries bursting during normal operation, just make sure batteries arent near heat sources including in the open sunshine
I not a prepper, I am someone who got himself into prepping.
And yeah I don’t consider that entirely the same thing.
I would not recommend watching or listening to anything Canadian Prepper puts out. His channel relies on gloom. That’s not what prepping is about
Prepping Is New To Me However It Is Important Since I Live It A Hurricane Prone Area And Prepping Is Necessary Plan Of Life!
Great show guys, and I picked up a few tips I hadn’t heard before, but also love how you balance the needs vs. urgent feelings.
Thanks for watching Connie!
is there a recommended POCKET size handbook for ID mushrooms and foraging edible plants like an Audubon guide?'
But has anyone considered full scale invasion. And radiation.
SensiblePrepper has had quite a few videos on those topics. If you search through his videos and find them, you will really enjoy them.
Can't go 3 seconds with HOPE
*without Hope
Awesome video today! Thank you
Bleach in water lasts six months MAX. It degrades quickly. You have to keep refilling containers
Consider a hypochlorite making device? Salt & water to bleach 😉
Regarding cash on hand, has anyone ever tested those fire safes you can buy from Walmart? How safe are they from fires?
I bought a portable fireproof / waterproof safe from Walmart since I was on a road trip the entire summer. I did research on the brand I bought and it was all good. Sorry if this doesn't help.
Safe inside a safe inside a safe. Redundancy. Much depends on fire 🔥 load, location in structure, time until structure 🔥 is extinguished, temperatures generated, etc.
First ❤ hello preppers from Oregon
I’m building a rain water storage system under my deck I’m thinking of putting a water circulating pump ran off 12 V solar system
Terrific video all. My wife and I recently started stacking silver to preserve our money. Good advice. Great to hear Sarah Mac asking questions. Nice improvement on the audio over the last few months. Thanks for everything
I say, start with the focus on for one week with the rule of threes in your home, then move up to two weeks. After you have two weeks, start on three weeks, and fire safety. Then four weeks, and savings. Yes, fitness and education. Begin to pick up being ready to walking from your vehicle to somewhere on your route after you have a month backup both in stock and funds. Later, complete your minimum get all the way home plans and pack while continuing going from one month to a two month stock at home (with rotation). There also is organizing and decluttering your things so that you can easily find things quickly. It will and should that time to get beyond that one month mark. You need the budget, the savings, the slow purchases, the planning, the learning, the practice. All this takes time and effort from both you and your spouse. Then, there is making the learning fun for your kids.
Readying isn't crazy. There are plenty of examples which have happened in the last fifty years: storms, hurricanes (Katrina), the Texas winter storm of 2021, fires, wildfires, bridge failures, Covid, economic down-turn, or the just personal matters: job lost, ill parent, car break down, house fire.
There are osmosis systems that adds minerals back in. Looking at the ultra violet light one... also the one that is portable to take with you when you are traveling ITIEL one
They make ar-600 plates now
Where should someone start? I understand about buying extra goods and whatnot. But, how much? My goal is to build a week at a time for 7 people. Thank you
I’ve started 2 1/2 years ago on full throttle food surplus having trouble Dvor, optic planet gun mag warehouse and west coast Ammo warehouse water and food is hard. Buying gear is on a daily emergency surplus is but working on skills and gardening
I wish I had your energy!
I'm an average blue collar working American who like many of us are struggling just to keep the lights on let alone food on the table. I want to protect my family but even the price of a decent fire arm is ridiculous.
BALANCE? Kind of like if you don't have food-- U don't need toilet paper! 😂😂😂
Prepping is a lifestyle
Just like farming is--at least dairy farming is 24/7 365 days
Jeremy babe is reporting attempted and some successful break in in their gated community: facts
Setting in the back porch, and the stupid rooster is crowing it's head off. Yes we have chickens!
My grandparents wouldn't have a rooster. When they needed more hands they would rent a rooster for a few days, or they would buy chicks from a neighboring farm that had a rooster.
Howdy, y'all. This is my first time commenting here.
I believe like you do that gold and silver will continue to rise in value for this simple reason. Theres not any more being created. It is a finite supply and can and will run out at some point!
It takes triple the water to put out an EV fire. They have also designed a car cover post fire because it can keep flaring up and re-ignite for days. Worst idea ever!
I have a rotation of drinking water. I date the gallon jugs and after awhile I trash the jug.
To re-oxygenate water that has been in storage for a long, just connect a fish tank air bubblier to it for half an hour for each gallon.
The super rich are buying up big chunks of land like ranches and farms
Happy Constitution Day! 😊
To me OPSEC is the #1 rule. Period.
If ye are prepared yet shall not fear
Does anyone know of any group(s)"M.A.G." accepting new members ? I live in Southeast part of Michigan.
I don't think that's how it usually works. A MAG that already exists doesn't just take in new members, unless, you are something they really need, like a doctor. If you want to be part of a MAG, you have to meet people, get to know them, start conversations that don't actually give away anything but help you begin to understand what they are like. After you get to know them, if they seem like-minded, you could begin asking deeper questions, but keep in mind that if they are OPSEC minded, they will only share with you if you are willing to share with them. Eventually, you have friendships with like-minded people, and then you can introduce the idea of forming a MAG with them.
MAG's do from time to time add new people to group. I agree with "most" of the rest of reply.😊
Rations from the civil war? Nice, let's get it out on a tray.
Nice hiss 😂
Most of the foods look blue and gray to this day.
Great info guys, thanks. Keep em in line SM!
Thank god coffee, beer and diet soda is full of water
Um...just no.
🤐
Is it safer to store your ammo in a fire proof safe? Or will that create a bomb, during a house fire?
Ammo pops off in a structure fire depending on direct flame 🔥 impingement, temperatures, etc. Rarely is a true danger.
