Great great great video!! Thank u 🍻 Stay save 🙏✨🙌
Dude......get that beer away from the heat! Keeping your beer cold should be at the top of any Canadian prepper's list. Oh, the humanity.

@@ArkopiaRUclipsSTELLAAAAAA 😂
I come to this channel for a weekly dose of sanity, in an otherwise insane world.
Thank you, Arkopia. You’re an inspiration.
Thanks so much Cris. 👍✌️
I have a pantry full of food and ingredients that have a long shelf life that I use all the time, and when I lost my job and had no other job until a few months later, that pantry got me through those few months. Having roots, grains, flours, sugar, canned veggies etc is cheap and easy. Just collect things you actually use, always restock from the back and use the front row. If shtf you can go on for several months as if nothing happened.
Well done! Keep on keeping on! 👍
Oh, where ya live?

@@Tsuchimursu I don't envy you, that's harsh climate. (But I love the race track in Imatra!). I left Sweden for Spain a decade ago 🤗.
As someone once said, "You are always your own first responder."
-50 can be seen as a threat, but if you are prepared it is a safety buffer.
Exactly👍🏻
Solid musings
Love your Greenhouse and the mindset
Good stuff. Thanks for sharing
It almost sounds like this is a "Positive Attitude" kind of prepping channel? Refreshing! I love it!
Optimistic. 👍🏻
Watching and listening to other channels has made me a wreck! Thank you for your calm and reassuring advice. I hope you put out more videos like this...many people need them! Many Blessings to you and your family!
Thanks for that motivation. I appreciate the feedback as well.
Seconded. Constructive attitudes are a rare thing these days.
We'd all be way better off seeing whatever situations thrown at us, as challenges and opportunity for growth, rather than issues and problems. 🤗
Keep on prepping folks!
I love the sound of crackling fire. It puts me in a meditative state. Finally, someone identified the connection between self responsibility and prepping. I don't think I've heard anyone explain it that way before.
Outstanding Advice and Sense of Purpose, for All Preppers, Thank you Brother. Sincerely your freind from Mo Rick and God Bless you 🙏 and your family and God Bless 🇺🇸 🙏 and Canada 🇨🇦 🙏 and God Bless all of the Great Veterans and First Responders 🙏 🇺🇸
Good talk, now back to work. They're always seems to be those who use society and those who build it. One is reliant on the other, only one.
Total agree!!!!
Inspiring! Thanks!
Probably my favorite up and coming prepper in the community. Always level-headed and dosent lose focus
Thanks for that. ✌️
I dig your thinking.
Great information for those who are finally waking up but a piece of advice for those same individuals. Don't assume that if you leave the cities and come to the country that you will be aloud to just take what you want. Most in the rural areas are generous people but don't take from us work with us. If you choose to just take then you will be met with the other side of our world which i cannot put into words.
Here from Canadian Prepper. Good video. I'm 63 and live by myself in an apartment.
Aside from car mechanics,I'm pretty much self sufficient. I have a small pantry full of dry ,canned food. I drive a 05 Escape. My little prepper buggy. Got him prepped as well. As much as I can.
You’re doing great brother. I found your greenhouse build and I’m loving who you are.
community is everything🥰
Great info
that was really well said. there was a lot in there. although I'm mainly a supertramp on my channel, I've decided to deal with reality and be the hot weather version of yourself here in florida on 5acres. we can compare notes and differences once I get established.
I appreciate that you don't include politics. True personal responsibility and proper decision making is far more important. Sweet bunny hug. Cheers.
Again Cheers🍺! All but only high value information 🤠🤜 keep rocking 👏🥳✌️
Excellent video. You got right to the point on several important subjects.
Great video. I have an acreage, but am only 30 minutes from a city, and 45 from a major city. I too am working on making myself more self reliant and less reliant on the "supply chain".
Permaculture
A common sense, no bullshit approach to life. That's what it's really all about. Your life, on your terms. Freedom!! Great content. Thanks you. 🙏
I think you're 100% spot on with everything you said. This video would make a great public service announcement. 👍
Could you imagine that coming out of Biden or Trudeau’s mouth? 😂
You are spot on the money Dean.....old school values and self reliance is how all our ancestors existed.
The only person who's job it is to look after me...... is me! So many people live in a fantasy land that the government are there to look after and protect them and they are in for a big shock very soon!
Keep up the great work brother , unfortunately us critical thinkers are the minority these days.
Greetings from the UK. 🥸🖖
Awesome video!! love the fireside chat format, the woodstove is nice to look at for those of us stuck in apartments (but not forever, working on getting out^^). I think where the idea of "prepping" fell out of favor started post war with the 50s boom of supermarkets, appliances, cars, suburbs, etc. food was more plentiful and available out of season, appliances saved effort and there was almost a culture disdain for doing things that required more work like canning, preserving, etc. when you can go to the handi-mart & get frozen or fresh berries in January. True the mid 50s to 60s saw a up blip in things like building fallout shelters, but that died away as nukes became bigger and the need to convince the populace they can survive a nuke war was less essential to the deterrence effort. I found living on an island for awhile, it kind of forces you to be more prepared minded, good advice on storing what isnt local, also look at growing what's the most expensive to buy in the grocery store/herbal medicine shop etc, thats also a great inflation fighter, and requires you to work in the system less for $$, and work more on your own self reliant system.
I like the way you laid out both practical steps and the idea behind how govt & society works as far as what it rewards in terms of being prepared. What are your thoughts on building a reinforced structure for dwelling in, such as ppl like Joel Skousen advise, and does it creat issues with things like building codes, permits, home insurance, etc? Always look forward to your videos XD
Agreed on the fireside chat, it's a great touch, or just being real. It's a bit modern rouge, just more authentic. Reminds me of another great prepper philosopher podcaster, Björn Bull Hansen.
Love Joel Skousen. I have 2 copies of his book “the secure home”. Yes, everything out of the ordinary where government is involved, they make it hard or nearly impossible. Always ways around things though.
Funny how government is always the real problem in almost any situation... 🙄🤔
@@calysagora3615 Government is just a reflection of the voting public, and it is the problem more than 9 times out of 10. ✌️
Every word is true
This is interesting as I have often wanted to homestead and be prepared to be more self reliant. I come from living in Southern California, which you hit upon as one of the places not to be, and I have also felt much of what you said. When Covid hit, we were living between a boat and an Airstream and moved up to our cabin in UT to remote work. We loved it so much we ended up moving out there. I have some friends that built an expedition RV from an old military truck and we talk about society and being prepared all the time. In one conversation he mentioned that people would turn on each other within two weeks if the supply chain were halted. Can you imagine being in Los Angeles when that happens? We have long prepared having emergency food storage and recently, since our home does not have a fireplace, I have secured some emergency heat sources, emergency power (solar generator as fuel will most likely be hard to come by) and have been talking to friends and family to ensure they are doing the same. Since we've all gone through COVID, just think about what you saw. Shortage of toilet paper was minor, we were still able to get most groceries. But imagine if that was no longer an option, what do you do? Good to post this and get people thinking, the more people that are prepared the better and longer society will last. Things right now are a good wake up call as people still have time to prepare. Thanks for posting this.
Please yes, community building would be helpful. Thanks for this. My life partner isn't on the same page, I've been trying to get him to take this seriously.

# 2 do not believe the koolaid
# 3 ready to bug out , multiple transport options, multiple a,b,c locations S.O.P.
# 4 personal security , tools, familiarity, consumables, S.O.P.
Your a badass.... Hats off to you fellow "crazy man"
Thank you for sharing this video and your calm approach is appreciated blessings to you and your family 🙏🙏😊
🙏 Thank you
Well said I agree with what you have spoken about. My father went through the 30’s hunting rabbit’s for his family.He taught me to reuse recycle and be prepared for anything. I am 65 now and I am nearly prepared for most of the SHTF that will hit. So I guess I have been a prepper for my entire life. It was not called prepping back then.
Right? Just being normal. 👍🏻
Very well said! Love your channel!! think this way, and act this way wish my whole family did. We grow 200% of our own meat, and working on vegetables. Half off-grid and working to be more self-reliant everyday. Permaculture and regenerative agriculture is the way to go!
So awesome. Keep up the great work!!!!
Excellent video that is to the point and ringing so true. Much wisdom on every point. Thank you for taking time to share this calm but stern reality check/reminder.
Nice one!
I live by those same principles!
I'm completely off the grid, in an off-grid village, with good community, growing food, trading and bartering lots locally, multiple income sources, multiple accounts, cryptos and other payment options, already used to living shtf style, with no fridge (got several now, but we just got our first serious solar system running), even living with no electricity or running water for long periods, collecting rain water with a tarp. The first winter I got through hand-sawing all my firewood... I got isolated in the first lockdown in my house 1km from the nearest neighbors, for two months, and all that happened was I ran out of some food items that dulled my diet, and missed people, but I got lots of prepping done around the house. Particularly soil building, as you mentioned!
So glad I've been into this for a while!
Exactly. You get it completely. 👍🏻
Already prepped. Use your product in my preps. Also in my get home and go bags. You’re right about skills though, nothing more important
cheers
Never saw you until you were on with Canadian prepper I like your content thank you
Only been on RUclips really for 6 weeks. 👍🏻 Welcome.
You tell it as it is. Good video, man.
I'm happy that your chanel exists.
Absolutely excellent video. 👍🏽 Too many folks suffering romanticism of shtf. Silly people who will fail, especially in the north. I’m old, hoping to get older, so that’s how I prep.
Always thought provoking content Dean. You and yours take care too!
Starting a farm this year. Your content is gold! Thank you
Minnisotan here. I also think it's CRAZY that so many people do not have backup heat sources. Modern houses are stupid.
Really enjoy your videos.

Very helpful thanks!
Love it, your channel keeps growing ! Niiiiice and congrats brother 👍
So happy to found your channel!! Please keep putting out your amazing videos!! Look forward to the new video notice!
Good video. It’s a shame the RUclips algorithm hides things like this.
I wish I were 20 years younger.
remember when they talked about doom and gloom yeah crickets now that its ww3
Hay man just ordered two cases of your smoothies from CP .... heck hope I get em before ...you know 🤠
Mail is still going. Haha. Thanks and enjoy the smoothies. 🙏
I'm learning to fish 🎏
And maybe crab too .
I asked my bro for couple rods.stoking tackle gear .I leave by sea in BC lol
Your beer is gonna get warm sitting right in front of that fire! 🍺🔥😢
Wasn't well thought out. 😂
You made one hell of a greenhouse, but when it comes to Preparedness you can look at that in two ways. 1. just to have supplies to get you through a tough time. and 2. like you said social unrest/war. the thing with the 2nd one. is unless you have a well stocked armory and willing to cut down your fellow man (or band/group of people) coming for your supplies, make an underground bunker, stock the hell out of it and wait out the unrest, and hope that whatever you find when you come out, has any shred of humility, otherwise hope you have the firm understanding you will lose some/alot of your humanity to protect what you have.
For each of us that will be known at the time such things happen, so if anything you should prepare for, is to take stock that you will have to take out other humans and prepare for that more than anything else.
“Don’t put all your eggs in one basket” we have learnt worse is all your hens in one coop! Predators etc.! Haha
Tastes the warm beer... But seriously, the comments about soil development struck home.
What are some of your go-to sources/processes for accumulating things like propane tanks, lighters, etc…? Any tips you can share? Good advice - thanks. Started prepping in 2017… but things seem to be progressing much more quickly than I anticipated.
I try to buy gently used, and take advantages of sales and deals. Some days I will drop everything I’m doing to take advantage of some deals as they come available. 👍🏻

@@dcyphyr Until you get a knock at the door. 🤔
@@fireflower1549 sometimes the door knocks back.
I live off grid already and paid the mortgage off .I’m just wondering what would you do with cash in your bank if you had loads saved up buy Gold and silver? Or invest or something you’ve been thinking about all this longer than I have so I’m interested in your opinion on it
I can’t give out investment advice, but I personally view gold and silver as money. Holding currency you lose every day. Some cash is good to take advantage of quick opportunities. I personally like buying things that I know I will need in the future and storing them properly. I specifically invest in infrastructure that allows me to produce well into the future. Like all the drip irrigation piping and fittings I bought yesterday.
@@ArkopiaRUclips Thanks I’ll definitely look into it that’s the stance I was thinking of to be fair ..I’ve been working on my place a while and wanted to be off grid before this crap hit the fan so who knows it feels like we made the right choice I’ll just get things running like a well oiled machine and perhaps put some away on gold and keep some in the bank for council tax 👍 I’m thinking of making a bio gas plant perhaps it’s time to invest I have farmers who will supply cow crap and have grass I think it could be handy with gas prices going up too 🤔🤔👍
FAITH. If we do not incorporate faith in Jesus Christ, we cannot survive what is coming. Many people around the world are already succumbing to despair, which leads to suicide.
True I agree but how is your arm not burnt lol
Was a new fire from a cold stove. Getting toasty by the end though. 😂
manifesto
I got the land. But no money 😔
Do you even drink beer?
Mate! You speak a lot of common sense, that’s not so common any more! I have a just in case place here in Oz, opposite problems to you lots of flies and very hot. But I don’t understand, why do you put a nice cold beer next to a hot fire 🤣
Fire wasn’t hot until then end. 😂
Your ark won't save you
Its one hell of an advantage
