It amazes me that after so many disasters that have taken place this past decade, so few are prepared. Look at the folks in southern CA who are buried under all that snow. I read articles of how many have already run out of food. You would think people would know better by now.
Agree! I'm in southern KY and we had a bad wind storm on Friday-many still without power and losing their minds. Complaining about how awful our electric company is, complaining about food loss, etc. We have a trifuel generator that runs our whole house and it was so peaceful just knowing that we were going to be okay! Just a while ago some man was asking on Facebook what truck stop was open that he could shower at because he had no power. UGH!
Too many to name! Not sure what it would take at this point for folks to see.
To be fair, I probably wouldn't prepare for snow in southern CA. That said, earthquakes, fires, power outages, and the occasional riot also require extra food on hand.
We've had between 30 and 50 years (depending on where you are) of being able to live a pretty decadent urbanite existence in much of the West. Many people are entirely bought into it to the point anything else is a vague abstraction best viewed on a screen or out a car window. You're expecting people to totally change the only mindset they've ever known, if you aren't totally of the mindset doubts start to creep in, very inconvenient. It's over or at least it will stumble on in an increasingly degenerating form. We know it's over and we have and will be hated for that, even if most of the haters can't articulate the reason for their hate.
@@madcow3417 I live close to that area. It is a mountain area that gets snow EVERY year. I can’t believe a lot of those folks were out of food in 3 days. I still feel sorry for them but 3 - 4 days and your starving???
I'm glad I'm in a small state in the south and live in a smallish town in a semi-rural area. I'm just 21 now, and my family and I are getting into the basics of prepping, and even if nothing happens, having the means to handle something if it does happen would be a comfort, at least. If it does and I die, at least I gave it a fighting chance instead of just lying down and giving up.
There are plenty of events that preparedness can save you with. Job loss to isolated disaster. Thanks for sharing this
Oklahoma here, prepping has to be part of your life just for tornados alone. We get ice storms and have to "survive" 3-5 days. Glad your prepping. Be safe
Sometimes bugging out is not an option gotta take your and fight until the end
Well it is also somewhat about convenience. Wouldn't it be nice to hunker down in a blizzard or rain-storm, not needing anything, rather than go to the store and fight over who gets the last loaf of bread? What? You didn't have a loaf or two in your freezer?
Hurricane Katrina survivor here. I evacuated and was ready to return. I texted my ex (a Lt. with JPSO) who said "DO NOT COME BACK HERE!" He said that 911 was down and it would be up to ME to defend myself because the police had their hands full. There was no electricity. People had to drive far away to get a tank of gas elsewhere, where the storm didn't hit. There were no street lights. Everything had a awful stench to it. Everything was covered in a film of mud. You weren't allowed to go outside after dark, even on your own property (curfew) Police stopped people left & right, asking for ID and their business in that location. Flat tires happened daily with all the debris everywhere. Some grocers had food, some did not.
I was smart enough to not return for a month, and when I DID come back, I brought a generator & gasoline, and a car full of groceries from a town several hours away because I knew there wouldn't be any gas or food near home.
My advice is to stock up on dry goods and water, medications, cleaners....but also stock up on seeds. Have your gardens already started so you'll get a jump on things. Learn to cook over an open flame or build a rocket stove, and have a ferro rod to start fires (you'll run out of matches) Save your old dryer lint in a jar to use as firestarter. Have solar lanterns and solar flashlights. A hand crank radio with weather band is helpful.
Please remember there is water in your water heater, tank on toilet back. Filter water of debris with a bandana, then filter through sand, rocks and twigs, and boil it if you can. Let it cool and you can drink it.
You can only go 3 days without water. 3 weeks without food. (Learn to forage) 3 hours without shelter in extreme weather.
Great adds deedie!!
sound advice , make sure people hear you
3 minutes without air
Thanks for the tips!
So how many grill lighters should we have? Those are far better than matches.
I live in a rural town of 500 and very grateful of that. I would definitely stay at home given it’s safe. On the other side of the coin, people WILL come and try to loot eventually and I am well prepared for that. You NEVER want to loot a Prepper. 💯
I agree 100%
Click Click.... 👁
Hopefully no one knows your a pepper if you go around bragging about it thats your first mistake
Being in a small town is great IF all 500 of you are of like minds but Most Importantly How Far are You From the Big City 1/2 a tank of gas? 1/4 tank, a Whole tank? How desperate will those Escaping the Cities be when they get to you ! ? Got a Farm fuel tank ? Hide it. A Garden ? Hide it.
I've called the fist 24 hours the "golden hours." That first day you'll see the best of humanity. Neighbors helping neighbors. Strangers helping each other get home or rescuing people from a disaster. The second day will be tense, but hopeful that help is on the way. By the end of the third day, you'll see people start to panic. Beyond 72 hours it will be everyone for themselves.
Well said!
Naw, the criminals will ruin everything in seconds.
That's why I opt for bugging in. Then again, I live in a setting where that will be far more preferable.
Anyway, I predict the shtf will begin suddenly, and at a very inopportune time. Like while you're at work with a 45min-1hr drive from home. Depending on how fast it happens, you may not have enough time to even make it back home even if you took off the moment you learned about it.
That really depends on the location. Probably accurate for a city type of environment, but as one moves further away from metropolitan areas, the odds of panic are reduced, but not altogether absent. Cheers!
In the first day of SHTF, those nice neighbors will be cleverly asking questions about "how much food do you have" In those first 3 days, the most important thing is information.
Sorry it took so long to get the latest video out folks.
Take care
I don’t plan on bugging out because I’ve got nowhere to go. But I stocked a bugout bag so I’d have all my gear in one place. Lately I’ve been buying more gear and it’s bugout luggage at this point.
I plan on retiring to a rural area so I want the kind of gear I’ll need when the power goes out during a storm. But if something happens before then, I’ll be prepared.
I’ve thought about buying several wooded acres and putting in a shed and stocking it, but a well-stocked backup location will likely be broken into and all the stock stolen.
It won’t be zombies per se as they are in movies, but the zombies once they lose their cell phone screen. They will wake up suddenly to desperation, and they will become hordes.
I have the thing's my family and I need to survive in most situations.I worry more about the guberment more (curfews,mandates,weapon confiscation ect..)I do not blindly follow "orders",I decide what's best for me based on the info I have.police/military going door to door TELLING me what I'm going to do/not do or what I can have/not have is going to make a bad situation even worse for everyone involved.
The guberment, or at least the evil Democrats, do not care about you. They care about keeping in power, and how to get a power trip over the gullible people.
To the peppers I know the zombies they speak of aren't the walking dead, it's the horde exiting the big cities.
Golden Horde
We call them 'Get home Bags.' Murphy being who he is, one of us will be away from home when the grid goes down, and we'll need to hoof it home. We're on the outskirts of our small town, and don't have to worry about the mass of looters getting to us, at least not right away. I agree with you about the 72 hour time frame, I'd actually hazard to say it'll be more like 48 hours in larger cities. Places like St. Louis, Chicago, New York? Even less. My work takes me about 50 miles from home, so my bag is always in my vehicle. My wife has a smaller one, but works seven miles from home, so no worries about being out overnight.
The grid going down is definitely my number one concern. So many ways for it to happen, and even after the EMP Commission issued its report, nothing has been done.
You and I are in a very similar situation. Well said.
7 miles can be walked in 2 hours. But not in high-heels. Good walking shoes at the minimum. It would be good to be carrying a piece, and know how to use it.
I’m older and take lots of meds… sure I can put a bug out bag together though I feel my best chance of survival is to stay put where I have all my resources. It’s a known fact that the most vulnerable are the very young and the old. Lucky I live in a small coastal town we’re I believe the residents will work together.
To replace your meds in case you cant procure them, try to find a natural alternative, many plants have medicinal purposes, so that way you can have a plan B. You could grow some in your backyard too
Nothing wrong with that. I think it's great you have a small community surrounding you, rather than a large one!
That true we must learn to help each other in a Fall out staying put many will need help together some how get to no each other especially if you got children to worry about thanks you
Everyone just needs to be basic
1. Waterproof bag
2. Fry-day bag
3. Handheld police scanner
4. Handheld ham radio
5. Hand crank generator
6. Rechargeable battery packs
7. Multi tool
8. Medical kit
9. Dry foods no refrigerator needed
10. Portable tent
11. Three pair of pants, underwear, socks and shirts
12. Wheelbarrow
13. Alice military
14 water purifiers
15 6 gallon water container already filled
Nice adds. Please always cover core shelter, water, food, medical, light and protection
@@PracticalPreparedness if you want me to get into any of the good stuff then there be no lights cuz it gives away your position no fires, no camp stove, and no tent anything above ground means open game 🎯. No cooking smells giveaway position nothing but gives off smoke. The major things you only need for shelter shovel,axe, and saw. Make friends with the dirt because that's where you're supposed to be living in dirt lodges,and trenches. List above it's just for people to get to FEMA camps cuz how weak and pathetic they're. The fun stuff is when FEMA what other people that's trying to help run out of supplies.
I lived throught the 1994 Northridge earthquake. Looting started miles away were there was damage within 48 hours. No power no gas. Looting starts that day. Wake up guys. Be careful working.
Doesn’t take long once the basics are compromised
As long as the local power grid and municipal water system are working fine, we could just stay in our home and "shop" from our stockpile of food and other supplies like we did during the first year of the pandemic. Yes, we have bug out bags. However, if we felt it would soon be too risky to stay at home, we have the option of evacuating in a convoy of vehicles and a motorhome, all loaded with emergency food and other emergency supplies. We never let the fuel tanks of our vehicles go below half-full, keep them well maintained, have onboard navigation systems in each vehicle and keep the latest copies of road atlases on board. We have tested our evacuation routes and practiced dry camping in the wilderness in our motorhome. The motorhome is equipped with enough solar panels for powering lights, a microwave, onboard TVs, DVD player, radio, CD player and recharging our communication devices.
I wouldn’t expect nearly as bad of a situation if the grid and water was up in your example. I wouldn’t be leaving home in that instance either. Great tips IMO
Great, except after EMP....
@@whitewolf30f Then we will live like people did in the 1800s. Oil lamps, hand tools, clotheslines, real books, paper maps, edged weapons and firearms... And we will still have our rocket stove and solar oven.
Over 99.8% survivable, smart people on social media said. I shopped in-person and didn't wear any _doesn't-work-anyway_ face diaper, except maybe in the checkout line, not wanting to weird scaredy TV-believing people out. Never did I wear any face muzzle to my places of worship. And I worked my "essential" job, as that was helpful to prevent the sort of panic or starvation that only the evil deep state elitists could have wanted.
I had just upped my storage of toilet paper, so maybe God was leading me in a good way. Makes it easier to "just wait it out", when being more prepared.
Hate to think that paper maps might be needed, GPS is so much better, but the evil government could easily shut off the GPS navigation satellites. You might still have a downloaded map, however navigation will be more of a challenge if your GPS or phone is literally "lost" and can not calculate current latitude and longitude.
How in the world did you organize such a good plan? I hope you have a good mechanic in your group, and some useful parts so that you do not have to lose a vehicle in your evacuation. Might lose a lot of supplies that soon would be stolen from an abandoned vehicle. Would it be possible to tow a broken-down vehicle? Maybe invest in a small tow dolly that can lift the front wheels just off the road and use its own wheels instead?
Are you blessed with having too many people for the one motorhome? Can you buy some big military tents and some cots? People have to sleep sometime, so you need enough men to man a guard-duty patrol. If you have a vehicle with a winch, that could get a vehicle unstuck out of the mud.
100% Agree with getting out of Dodge before the 72hrs. ideally within 24 hrs but 48hrs at the latest. Unless of course when its the depth of Winter and you don't have somewhere to go then safer to stay put for the short term anyways.
That would definitely complicated things :(
Random travel/comfort/safety tip: pocket poly female urinal & hygiene stuff saves privacy, roadside risks, & other stuff for cheap.
Don't forget the lady hygiene items, good call
I've been through multiple times of having no power for 4-5 days. No looting in our area at all. I think the time-line is skewed heavily. I think it'd be worse if we lost natural gas or water. Had a 110" main break at the treatment plant and that caused issues in less than 24 hours.
The question is what caused you to lose power for 4-5 days, if it's unknown the panic level goes up, if it's known it's a global disaster, you won't have one day of rest, let alone 4-5 days.
my last 2 last minute things I got off Amazon was a 50 pound anvil and a 6 quart Dutch oven. i wish I got them earlier for cheaper but I am just happy to have them. Those are items I will use and pass on to my kids.
I'm just glad I moved out of the big city and too a small town .
It's going to be tough for alot of people that can't get out of the city.
Fill your empty gallon milk jugs 3/4th with water and then put them in the bottom of your freezer. In the event of a power outage it will keep your food cold and it is a good source of water when needed.
During Covid19 pandemic, we had unannounced lockdown of our sub-district.
The people were calm in first two days, then on third day they suddenly started coming up to streets and protesting because local grocery stores ran out of supplies. Lol.
Scary how fast it can break down
@@PracticalPreparedness
Yep.
The mayor who installed this lockdown had to run from the mob.
One thing I was amazed at how "sheep-like" people were.
Despite knowing it was openly illegal (because completely unannounced) and that it affects their jobs, the vast majority of them were silent.
I wouldn't wonder if someone comes and tells them commit suicide they would without a hesitation.
Especially bathroom paper I laughed all the way through it my me think is wat with the bathroom paper all gone
Sir you sound like a very sensible, intelligent man. Thank you and I've subscribed.
Welcome aboard dave!
That 72 hour limit makes a lot of sense. I live in a metropolitan area and I have a visible solar power system that would make me a target. I though I'd be ok if the grid went down, but human panic basically means I'd be one of the first killed for my power system. My previous plan was to stay home if society collapses, or bug out if my neighborhood burns down.
Thanks for telling people not to go into the woods. The predator/prey ratios would go straight to shit if everyone went to the woods, so even if you could survive the elements you'd still run out of food very quickly.
Very good point on the power. Double-edged sword :(
I hate to say it but I would not use the solar power if it is that visible. It will definitely make you a target. Always play down what you have!!
Does your solar have its own battery backup? Most won't work without grid
How could they steal a solar system? Rather, I think the danger is, that you would stick out like a sore thumb. How can any of us be the only person on the block with solar? If all your neighbors have solar, then that would be more doable.
If you have power and lights, then you may need to black-out the windows, because being the only home with light could attract unwanted attention. Maybe practice ahead of time, to make sure windows are not showing any spots of light.
But how can a normal working person justify even a $500 generator, when the value of the food in the refrigerator is far less than that?
I watched a YT video showing how to replace the light switch cutoff on your furnace, with a power outlet. Rewire the gas or oil furnace with a normal _like-an-appliance_ plug. Then the furnace plugs into that outlet. The idea being, that you can easily unplug the furnace and plug it into your generator or hefty battery-backup system, so that you can still have a warm home when there is no electricity. Maybe it was the HVAC Guy? But he showed a few other alternatives, such as installing (more expensive) a generator switch connection. I guess the furnace thermostat upstairs on the wall, gets its power from where? Maybe the furnace? I think he may have said that his battery backup would power the furnace for up to 20 hours.
An alternative would be to install vent-free gas logs with the wall thermostat. With the milivolt system and the wall thermostat, no batteries, no remote to sit on, and no electric power needed. They cycle on and off just like a gas water heater. Powered merely by the pilot light being lit. Of course they will not work, if there is no natural gas either.
You hit the target. Prepping is a double-edged sword. Most leave out that under martial law, the government can and will take your supplies, it's not just about the bad guys you need to be concerned with. Not to mention the fake police or government men. You know there will be small groups pretending to be national guardsmen or something.
Glad you're back good luck with your busy schedule Thank you for all the tips and God Bless us all during these uncertain times
Thank you so much!
Everyone is at the atms today getting their cash 💰 out!!! Hurry up and get yours before it’s to late
back when the east coast midwest grid failed , that night people were breaking into businesses and siphoning gas out of cars parked in auto repair parking lots , it took about 10 hours for the opportunists to appear.
Wow, record time..
Great to see you back on!!!
Hey, thanks!
Thanks very much for the reality check. Normalcy bias is the more comfortable option-so I appreciate reminders that get me prepping again.
Going back through your vids (which are good) and here's a thought on the 72 RoT: been prepping for decades and have always used that rule, however, I'm beginning to shave off hours as the months and years go by. We live in a cell-service desert out here. Drive just a half hour any direction from town and there isn't service for up to 86 miles in one direction, 172 in another. Folks come out to visit, want to see 'the sights' and just about lose their minds when that phone in their hand (24/7) is just a flashlight! They really do get pretty edgy within an hour at times--snippy and sour. Our off-grid cabin is zero cell, zero internet, GMRS only communication between friends. At first, everyone wanted to visit the cabin, now they really don't. Anyway, if we happen to be in town when the plop-plop hits the rotary oscillator, I'm going with two days before folks lose their stuff. They're already zombies, walking around with their heads buried in black mirrors!
In the major power outages, the 1st-night people are civilized. It's the 2nd night in less than 48 hrs. chaos begins...
Amen
I used To agree with you I used to think you had 3 days . But, after doing a lot of research on disasters like the bombings in World War II and Katrina and other events I have realized you have about 12 hours specifically 10 o'clock in the morning of the next day following the Catastrophe that's an alluding start that's the people gonna start shooting you for your gear if you're trying to get home think about this long and hard
It's scary to think about
@Practical Preparedness IF you get big enough to talk to REAL millitary experts, ask about "EMP draining batteries"? (I know an old Cold War vet that has OCCASIONALLY slipped some secret information to me.... one of his tidbits is an emp, "flips the polarity of a batterie, and drains it, a car GENERATOR (NOT ALTERNATOR) cam recharge it. He said that's a secret because if an emp hits us, EVERY plain flying will crash.
Also, in my NUKE BOOKS, it doesn't say how long we have to wait to drink cows' milk. My nuke vet friend tells me, you MUST remove the top soil and grow new crops because the fallout stays on the soil... (but not everybody around chernobal is dead), so I have hope fall-out won't kill us all. -- but, also mt Saint hellens ASH went around the globe in a few days. -- so the fallout from a nuke war will harm the entire planet. Even Southern Hemisphere... (so, South America, or New Zealand, isn't safe).
Yeah, the worst parts of the Bible are coming.
I live out in the sticks, and one of my neighbors asked another neighbor why he wasn't prepping and storing food and gear. He said when the city slickers bring their motor homes out where we live, he will rob them and take their gear.
One day, a buddy (not a close buddy). came over to buy a gun back I bought from him. He couldn't understand HOW I had his gun for a year and never fired it. -- I made the mistake of showing him my gun room. -- (well stocked). Then, my mother in law said "yeah we have food too." -- she doesn't realize that when SHTF happens, I will have to wait for him to come and "put him down," because when he runs out of food, I am only 15 miles away, he will come.
Shtf is horrible, how many will simply suck start their own .45?
Loved this video. Thank you!
So glad!
If the government does come - it would be to take your food. Judi
I appreciate all your recommendations.
Thanks Max. Appreciate you watching
Thank for your insight.
My pleasure!
These are all great things to consider and many important things to do!
Great analysis and I agree with you. But we all must have a plan.
Amen!
Super clear and useful thinking here…thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for your calm but realistic views.
No worries!
Thank you for this very informative video.
Glad it was helpful!
These are very good advices, I have a bug out bag in my car, a survival bag and a tactical bag too
Always Be Ready
Great Vid. Ty
Thanks
We definitely have bugout plans, but we’re staying put as long as we can (we live outside a small rural town on acreage). During the first 72 hours I plan on intel gathering on the current situation and putting in to place security plans based on current conditions and wether there’s still rule of law (security goes up as threat levels go up). This will be the time where redlines will be critical as to wether we continue to stay or leave.
The biggest point I can make is stay vigilant, pay attention to what’s going on around you and have a well practiced plan in place. Be adaptable, chances are the situation will be fluid, ever changing. Be able to adapt.
Sound plans….good luck!🇺🇸
Thanks for sharing the sound advice ccfarms
Thanks for the video
No problem!
well done!!!!! thank you
Thank you too!
In an emergency, the highway will be a parking lot.
Either leave Early or skateboard 🛹 to safety. 😄
I am no good on a skateboard, I'd be better off rolling to safety!
Good info for beginners keep up the good work and nice to see you doing well don't stay away so long ne t time 😀 👍
Thanks 👍
Always Bug in, why be a stranger in your surroundings. Just don’t understand this bug out mentality Always be a squirrel put a little in more than one place, don’t go walking about with a cammo bag that is bursting with goodies. The bigger guy will always steal it off you and possibly slay you in the process. Be smart bug in. X
I mentioned in another comment. It's a last resort, with a window. Absolutely stay home if there is a chance things are going to go back to normal. Always have a destination, don't become a glorified refugee.
Appreciate the comment
You haven't studied prophecy
Have canning supplies and a stove top pressure canner to use on your outdoor stove or grill burner. CAN EVERYTHING POSSIBLE FROM THE FRIDGE AND FREEZER. I am ready with plenty of pantry foods put back. HalleluYAH!
Take the time to think about what would your neighborhood look like three weeks after the power went out.
For some, it is easy to not imagine, but remember. I know a man who moved from Puerto Rico (an American territory) to Iowa to get a job to rebuild his house after two hurricanes, one in 2017 second in 2022.
WRL....That would be a very good opportunity for marauders to hone their skills and take all they need from you. Be ready to defend you and yours with extreme violence. This event will not be a joke.
Always be ready to defend you and yours. Event or No Event.
No power no phone gotta get gas so you can keep going 🤠 stay safe 😘 you can make it 😃
Stay safe!
Just happened to luckily move to a very rural area about one week before covid started I originally lived in St Louis I tell you what it's a big adjustment living in the middle of nowhere it's a 50 mile round trip to the nearest store and 6 mi to the nearest gas station yep there's still places in this country that's just out in the middle of nowhere
Enjoyed the vid and subscribed. We have differing opinions on bugging out to the woods though, there's literally everything you need to survive in the woods..a source of fire and shelter, food, water (or the means to extract it), and natural security. Looking forward to more posts!
Thanks for the sub! I’m worried most about over-hunting and fishing over time. Winters would be very tough in that situation is my thinking.
@PracticalPreparedness Absolutely, if the entire population had to hunt and fish for their meat there would be no animals left within a few months time.
If you have the capability to live off-grid, then that is the optimum scenario. Most don't, most aren't interested in that learning curve and commitment.
Completely agreed!
In my experience in a desert, it was an earthquake that screw one of the main ways to go to the coast or to another city really. So first we lost signals, Internet, the only things that were working where radios or “nextels” that not many ppl had. And so you need a Radio FM AM to know wtf is going on, we also lost energy and this is the hard part, the blackout lasted for 3 days. So it was scary, few hours later there wasn’t water, ice, candles or matches, that day at night even at around 6 pm people broke into business, most of the gastations ran out of gas (we were listening the news of the city with the radio), lines were huge to buy gas, so it was quite apocalyptic. We had practically everything at home, gas candle, and food, so we were good, we never got out the house, didn’t go to big or small stores, we saved the gas for the car and didn’t move around. Looking back, I wish I have had a power station and a airfan that worked with batteries or anything solar. But since this was on a desert, depends where you are! But please storage water and some food for at least a 3-7 days, have some CASH and Fill up your Tank, you really never know, and now will probably be a more common issue. greetings to everybody who read this. 😊
Thanks 👍
No problem 👍
If it's nationwide... and you haven't already been accepted to a 2nd location... forget about it. Stay home.
If you don’t have somewhere to go, definitely stay home!
Good video.
I'm definitely in a setting where bugging in is pretty much the best option.
That's really the choice for the majority of situations. If you bug out then then you have to carry everything you need with you.
If you have a solid setup, then you can plan and take the time to assess the situation.
Not trying to survive a SHTF situation unprepared and unable to prepare and my health is bad so I just hope it's quick and painless.
There will be a lot of people that just off themselves in a team shtf situation that isn't isolated
As long as you have ammo, weapons, meds, water , and food, and some kind of. Wood stove youre fine.
Small team.
I think the Tipping Point is when you CAN'T flush your toilet, or take a shower and you live in a highrise building... after the 2nd day....I'm OUT...
Lol I was feeling the same with this last storm. Wife was begging to go to a hotel lol
@@PracticalPreparedness Yeah....I know the feeling...I been thru a couple of Blackouts in NYC and figured it out...There was a time in the 70's and 80-90's that people were still realtively "civil" and waited for the lights to go back on...after that I learned from Hurricane Sandy that folks in NYC were without power 90% of city residents were limited to only 1 flush of the toliet, (Yeah you can use ur drinking water for that, but why should you)...after what I saw during Covid and the BLM protest there will always be those "Knuckle heads" that will take advantage of that situation for nefarious reasons without a care for good folk....So prepare in advance and determine if the power outtage will be long or shortr and then act accrdinly.
Only comment is what happened to New Orleans, although, horrible did not happen until Katrina was a Cat 2 over Memphis. The MS Gulf Coast was hit with a 24 ft tidal wave.
I have no choise other than stay home. I do have an allotment that I just bought and will have it going come spring. No house on the plot no money to build one. 200 m2 food garden I hope that will work.
I am already laying low. No one knows that I have food and wather for some months hidden away..... Trust no one....
Definitely don’t be spreading to everyone. I think community is key if you can find the right folks
You see it coming, and you should know disaster is coming yet you don't prepare, wow!!!
Sorry, are you talking to me? Because I don’t store decades of food?
A Miyaki event would knock us on our rear. It's like the Carrington event but it can last for years(3 years is the longest they've found so far), so no power or ability to repair it for up to 3yrs.
That would be devastating
I know people as of today still laugh at people who preps after especially Covid. We are now looking at Stagflation may surface in the near future. I have a list of people who refused to help themselves after I advised them to do so if you know what I mean. Those people are enjoying themselves posting on social media showing off the their vacation trips and what they got.
I appreciate your videos. I would encourage you to take a video such as this and break it down to maybe four different episodes. If you want a couple of ideas, hit me up. Anyway, liked and subscribed!
I heard your house got down to 47 degrees did you deploy any heating measures to warm your house up
I did set up a warm room upstairs in the South facing side of the house. Let the Sun in during the day and Buddy heater for a few hours in early morning when was coldest. CO Detector nearby just to be sure.
My basement was a few degrees warmer and was about to set up camp there if the power was out for a 3rd night.
He fails to mention where do you go? You are nothing but a refugee once you leave your house UNLESS it’s a physical emergency like a wildfire, flood, train derailment and the like. It’s better to hunker down, prepare, prepare and prepare some more!! Create or find a community with the same mindset (even if it’s a small community) to team up with. Dragging your family into the unknown is a sure way to fail.
Agreed on many of your points. I unfortunately can't give coordinates to the perfect place to "get away", but tried giving some pointers on what I would do. Thanks for sharing
When you get out into the countryside where I live you might be surprised how many people are willing to take you in if you have something to contribute.
If you're dead weight with nothing but complaints, bring good walking shoes.
Fail. Study prophecy
Freezer without power. It's time to have a block party with one house hosting at a time. I use a penny frozen up right in a plactic bottle in the freezer. After it's frozen, I lay the bottle on it's side if the penny moves, you know the freezer has defrosted and possibly re-fozen. A thermometer in the freezer is also a good idea.
Love this idea!! Thanks for sharing
Big cities will just absolutely insane 😂 we're 20 minutes from a fast food restaurant hour from any city of any size thankfully
Agreed!
My best friend who is over 70 and has a heart condition is stuck in her home in the San Bernadino mountains because of all of the snow. It's been a week and the town of Running Springs is still not plowed out (except for the main street.) She can't shovel snow and it doesn't look like help is going to arrive anytime soon. What do you do in this case?
I'm 61 and have both lupus and RA. A week? I'd have my feet propped up in front of the fire, a pot of beans bubbling away, and be reading a good book with or without electricity. You can repeat that scenario for a month, and a year.
What I would recommend is that when the snow melts your friend gets together enough food, water, and medical supplies ~ and a way to cook with or without power (a rocket stove, cast iron cookware, and a camp coffee pot requires only small sticks for fuel and can be used on a porch or deck as long as you have extra bricks to make a pad in under it). If you can, go shopping with her or for her. If she isn't used to prepping, help her get started and use this week as a good example as to why having even 2-4 weeks worth of extra, non-perishable food on hand is a good thing.
Figure eight for anchor.
Good advice and worth listening to!
Probably a good idea to be relocating soon if you are in an area where this is applicable. Because you probably should already know that this scenario will become reality within 20 years and more like within 5. So it makes sense to make the move and get situated. Because self sufficiency in a low population density is the smart move if you want to actually survive
So what more civilized country could I move to?
@@yosefmacgruber1920 I think US has some good choices. Or Canada. You've got to put in the time doing due diligence. If you're serious you'll see where the good places are
@@fractalart8352
Canada is too cold, and they need to get rid of that evil PM Justin Trudeau. I think I could do better than Canada, else why even bother to leave?
There seems to be no obvious place where millions of Americans are leaving to. Different places, maybe they have family that came from somewhere.
So where would you consider going to, or have you not figured that out yet?
What if you bug out bag is in your home and your home is destroyed??? Should one keep the bug out bag in a vehicle?
PRACTICE BEING SILENT...LITTLE TO NO MOVEMENT.... practicing one day.....the broom got me...!!!😊it scraped the wall.....IT WAS IN THE WRONG PLACE....😢COULD HAVE COST A LOT MORE
Elderly people do not have a prayer, you realize .
99% of the people, including me will have no better location to go to than where they live right now. In my country, NL, land and real estate is extremely expensive. So I see little reason to prepare to bug out (to where?). I'm glad I already live in a small town in a mostly rural province.
You may already be in a great place then! It truly is a case-by-case basis.
Thanks for watching and sharing.
There are smaller disasters, such as a house fire or water damage from a burst pipe. Sometimes your bugout destination will be a neighbor's, friend's or family's house nearby. They may have food for you, but they won't have your medications, important documents, a change of clothes in your size...
I’m severely disabled in wheelchair and oxygen tube 24/7 in my tiny single-wide mobile home in the middle of your typical mobile home community. My neighbors are great people and live similar lives. When SHTF started in 2020, I moved to my present local. For myself, bugging in reality is my only choice. I cannot go scurrying along farmers back fields keeping one step of the enemy. I prepped to my best considering my health and limited income. I have some extra food and water and extra meds to get me at least 3-5 months.
I worked in the electrical field when I did work so I have solar generators, gas generators and all kinds of deep cycle batteries to fuel my many different inverters to run my 12 volt cooler for my food and meds as well as my oxygen concentrator to keep me alive. I’ll do what I can until god takes me and that will have to do. Being disabled does not mean one can’t do things but rather we can but just a lot slower. I’m very proud of my preps and sadly enough, I’m ahead of 99% of my un-prepped neighbors. Good luck to all of you folks out there and realize that if you can hold out in your home, the better off you’ll be. You know where everything is located and can hide lots of stuff to where only you can find it later. If you bug out, that will be like camping 24/7 with only the provisions you can carry and that’s not much after drudging through cold muddy forests avoiding everybody else!
If a true major event (take your pick) happens, bank closures, power failure, another pandemic, war! The 72 hour period will be EXTREMELY dangerous to try to get anything. The 2 most dangerous crime spots right now are filling stations and Walmart parking lots. Things will unravel quickly and you do not want to be out and about when it does! Forget about all deliveries when it does because all drivers will not risk their lives. I’m talking about all grocery or food deliveries, UPS, FedEx, Amazon or any delivery vehicle that appears to have ANYTHING of value will risk being highjacked. These drivers already know this will begin immediately. All law enforcement city, county, state and federal will be hit by a tidal wave of crime that will flatten them. What I have said is not fear mongering it is the TRUTH! Prepare NOW be mentally and physically prepared. Unless you have fought in combat you have no idea what’s coming.
its going to be like that 1st night in prison . FIGHT or F and usually it's BOTH !!!
Unfortunately Im in DC and too old to play "Red Dawn". If the SHTF we're trapped, we'll be lucky to get to the beltway. Then we'll get trapped in traffic, so theres no running.
We live on the third floor of brick/concrete building so this is where we make our stand for better or worse 🤞
Ya, DC metro is pretty crappy to try to get out of during regular rush hour. Your only hope is that if the situation was really truly terrible holding the capital is important for symbolic and some strategic purposes
Not to sure on that one I think probably 5 days of absolute nothing , no Info no help and then it might start to deteriorate.
I’m in a similar boat. It depends, I’d personally have 72 as my marker just to be on the safe side
I have some meat I would be curing with salt or pickled or smoked. I raise Quail and I would have to cram them into a dog carrier if I was leaving forever.
So much food is wasted when fridges lose power for 4 hours and freezers for 48 hours. Smart to have backup plan for that
I dont need to get out. I moved to a very red, very rural comunity. We all have generators and food preps. We all have boom sticks. Most of us have back up wood heat. No looting here as we all know each other. We have 4 bars, 6 restaurants, and 12 churches here....just sayin.... im staying here regardless
How many people realistically have a second home to bug out?
I live in the hurricane belt. Trust me all it about 3 or 4 lost meals and you’ll see animal.
Not many folks have extra
@@PracticalPreparedness I’m semi-prepared because I’ve been through a lot of hurricanes hurricane. The most recent one Florence Floyd really ripped us up. Fran ripped us up. So you get a snapshot of how people are going to react. Florence in 2018 was a little different. The effects were longer lasting than some of the other hurricanes. It took longer for the power to come back so people really did get a taste of what life was like without the modern amenities. I know more than. 10 people that lost everything and had to start their rebuilding over homes and businesses were lost. I was working as a part-time jailer I worked in the jail after my shift I went and set up cots For people that lost their home that were sleeping in the high school I couldn’t get home because all the roads are washed out. I’m going to tell you people lost all the humanity very quickly I didn’t even take 72 hours.
Its coming.
0:11 I was of the belief it was 3 meals 😋 😅
Way better to already live where you would mostly run to. And outright own that.
My rule ?? Hungry people do desperate things !!
That they do
@practical prepper how small of a town would it be for you to feel safer bugging instead of bugging out? Population wise...
I know it's vague, but smaller the better IMO. So many things go into it for me. Population density, distance away from pop centers, location, resources nearby, ability to defend, etc. There is a great book called Strategic Relocation that gives the reader tips on what to look for.
This is exactly how I plan it if shtf, I moved 2 years ago from the city to a less crowded area
@Practical Preparedness the area I live in has about 100K population. Not too big but also not too small. I'll def check out that info u recommended....thanks man.
I have heard that you should have enough fuel, most all the time, in your fuel tank to get back home. Some people say a quarter of a tank. In the military, we would top off vehicles after use, so as to be prepared. I don't know how you are supposed to have more, as it is not convenient to store more than your car's fuel tank can hold. The less-bad scenarios are perhaps more likely? All it would take is some announcement on the fake-news to have queues forming at all the fuel stations, not possible to buy fuel. It would be good to have the option to just head home without having to stop for fuel on the way. There is enough cars out there to drain all the fuel stations if ever there is a panic or change in the normal predictable supply-chain trends.
But if not home, where are we to go?
Depending on your situation, you should always have an idea of a plan B if you need to leave and have no choice
@@PracticalPreparedness
So many of us hardly know plan A let alone plan B.
It is not like we are rich and have several vacation homes.
No better hunker down
You do realize that "zombies" are just a metaphor for the people who realize food or power isn't coming back. The pepper community mocks zombies but then goes on to describe zombies when they talk about unprepared people.
A good production about total collapse is called "After Armageddon."
staying at home is still best
24 hours till you can get to your safe place if you have to travel before it becomes unsafe.
