Reading some of the naysayers comments is evidence of why we are in such a disasterous situation in our country and across the globe now. So many cannot see what is right in front of them. We are a banana republic, we have the most corrupt evil administration ever in DC, as well as in many states and cities. Ignorance and/or denial is rampant among our so many of a certain type in our population. Look to history and you will see many of the same signs before a horrid situation (Germany 1930s for example) occurred. You can also see the ignorance and apathy of the population. It's how the cabal rises to create havoc and so many are harmed as a result. Such a shame people don't learn and don't act. Fear mongering is when you make statements without any evidence to support the belief. If people cannot see the evidence now....well then bless their hearts.
Well said Keith!
Hit the nail on the head
Yes, that’s it. Thank you !
I couldn't have said it any better. Oh and the "bless their hearts" was a nice touch. LOL...
"God, family, and country." Right there you "almost" lost me ... but then "we have the most corrupt evil administration ever in DC." You people are lunatics.
My van is my home. Stay away from cities with a population over 25000. Arm yourselves. A dog is a good thing. Husband passed, no kids. On my own. 77 year old lady. Grit up!
Love the GRIT! Hope you can come visit us one day Margaret
Can't add a bit to what you said. You're doing it rite, stay sharp. Im doin the same 👍
WE WILL VACATION FOR A MONTH IN A CONDO DURING THE LATER PART OF OCTOBER/NOVEMBER IN A FREE RED STATE AND ARE ALWAYS ARMED, LEGALLY!
True grit ! 😅
@@Billsdayoff *JOHN WAYNE!*
There may be civil unrest, no matter who is voted in, but IT DOES MATTER who wins the presidency.
No it doesn’t. It’s one big uniparty. Always has and always will. Every election cycle this happens.
And you better hope it's Biden
With a terrible two party system and two lousy candidates to choose from, I think the country has no where to go but...
WHEN TRUMP WINS, We Will Get Back to LAW & ORDER!! RESPECT Will Come Back to the USA From All Over the World ..... See North Korea ..... See Russia ...... See China ..... See ISIS ....... Our Economy Will Get Back to a Normalized Inflation Rate of Around 2% and We Will Once AGAIN Become ENERGY INDEPENDENT!!
I wholeheartedly agree. This is the most important election in forever
Even though RVers often face storage restrictions, having enough food and dry goods to last at least a year, preferably more, is essential. Freeze dried foods take up little space, are light, can be purchased on sale, weight and often last for decades, of course have other foods, but that is a good way to go, along with growing fresh, even having a few pots of veggies is better than nothing. Getting large amounts of meds to have on hand, can be challenging, but many insurance companies are willing to allow 90 days supply. Also, it is less expensive as far as co-pays to pick-up prescriptions every three months.
The reason people are getting these long leases is because the housing market is unaffordable, so they have to live somewhere and the rent market is the same
That was my thought. Better than living on the side of the road in a city.
When I started as a real estate agent the interest rates were 21% and people were borrowing money on their charge cards to make the down payment because interest rates on CC were much lower. We survived that, we survived the housing bubble, and we will survive the aftershock of surviving the pandemic. Panic pushers are part of the problem, not part of the solution. We all need to work together and stop being so hateful and ugly. We have to END the conspiracy theories and lies.
@@VanmeterFL Unfortunately, it no longer works like that. All the people fleeing broken states (after 20 years of damage from politicians THEY blindly supported) are absolutely wrecking the real estate market. In my part of TX, a 20 year old house under 850 sq ft with NO garage, ancient kitchen that will require a total replacement sells for an average of a pathetic $250-300K. That's despicable. In 2014, it was nowhere near $120K. Forget inflation, it's just gouging. I spend my time fearing I will be homeless one day. $250K is NOTHING in today's world. You have $300K? You're still poor. A crappy Ford F150 sells for an average of $60-65K no matter where I look. The "cheaper" GMC Canyon? $40-50K. I spent over a year searching for an affordable new car and gave up. It's not worth the trouble. I sincerely believe the economy is heading not for a crash but a slow steady drop from which it will not recover for the next 15-20 years.
The rich Democrats are trying to destroy the middle class. George Soros, and the liberal Democrats want to turn America into South Africa. That is why civil war is what the Democrats are pushing for. The Democrats started America's first civil war in the 1860's when the southern Democrat Plantation owners refused to give up their black slaves. They are doing it again today with liberal policies trying to destroy America. Terms limits and Age limits are what is needed to save this country! Biden being the Poster Child of both!
True
Slowly everything my grandfather warned me about when i was a kid is coming true, it is absolutely nuts that we used to laugh at our grandpas!
My Grandfather warned me as well. He said Americans were too soft and way too distracted
With me, it was my Grandma. She would say she was glad she was old, because she didn't want to live in what she saw coming. I'm beginning to see that perhaps it's an incredible privilege to be alive for this pivotal time.
Hey me too!!! How did they know so much about the future, I wish I would’ve at least listened to him & asked him more questions when I had the chance!!!
your grandpa obviously had children..so your grandpa is either evil for making babies for the sharks or he's just very horny.
All it takes for evil to prevail is for good men to do nothing. I read the book and I know God wins. Until He returns, we need to (attempt) to educate those who will listen. You can’t fix stupid, but you can vote it out. Well, if they don’t allow non citizens and dead people to vote. Great message you two.
The advice provided is a mix of practical precautions and personal beliefs, framed in a way that might seem alarmist to some. It’s important to balance such guidance with objective information and personal discretion. While preparing for potential disruptions is wise, it’s equally important to avoid unnecessary panic and ensure that preparations are proportionate to realistic risks.
We camp and RV in Oregon and we are having a blast!!! We have been hanging out with friends.. laughing, making music, BBQing, and being kind and loving to each other. We are not judgemental.. and we don't purvey that negative energy.. and everyone treats us nice.
I’m a Texan. Two of my ancestors died in the Alamo. Bring it on !!
Looks like you'll have your chance real soon!
No kidding. Whatever your religious persuasion is (if you have one), you oughta see some truth in the notion that the kingdom of heaven is found within. Ain't no big thing. Keep a level head, and have some courage.
Single female here and grateful the lord has enabled me to be back home in my sticks ‘n bricks with the RV parked in the driveway!
No one but you empowered yourself. Stop using god as a crutch and excuse. No wonder you are single
@@SpenceCurry God is not an excuse, He is the only Savior. Repent to Jesus Christ now, because by Judgement day it will be too late.
@@SpenceCurry I believe you are the very type of person that they are warning us about in this video! Why the hate? Leave people to their pursuit of happiness without trying to impose your will upon them..
Smart girl
You are so right, prophecy being fulfilled.
I forgot to add that I’m so happy you two stuck it out and are UNITED! These heavy strange crazy times has really taken a toll on marriages everywhere. Married couples must remain UNITED, TOGETHER. I can see in John’s face/eyes he’s feeling GREAT, both of you and this is so fantastic as I remember a few or 3 years back John was really going through the awakening and had some difficult times and I worried about you, John. You guys made it! TOGETHER! I type this because my wife and I who’ve been together married for 28 years are not together on any of what’s happening and it’s very difficult. I set the bell to ding when you guys post so I’m looking forward 🤩😁🙌🙏🇺🇸🦅🇺🇸
You were were paying❤️🇺🇸
We made it Brother! What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger! We’re so blessed to have each other! Thank you for this comment.
@@RVOddCouple ❤️❤️🇺🇸🦅🇺🇸
@@RVOddCoupleWhat doesn’t kill you… may include a hospital stay too🤷♀️😂
Sorry that you and your wife aren't seeing eye to eye on this. We are all victims of politically skewed divisive media pushing two different 'realities' on us, in an effort to divide and conquer. Please remember that before they convince you that half of our citizens are either stupid or evil. Because they aren't. They just bought in to a different narrative.
My wife's a democrat, Im a republican. You better believe its difficult. And I blame it all on the news media and our President. They have and are continuing to divide us. In a way I hope Biden wins reelection. Maybe then they will wake up and see how great a mess Biden has gotten us into. If Trump wins you know what the media is going to do. Blame everything on him. Sorry isn't it.
That's exactly what I was thinking so I bought a few off-grid acres with a stream on it in the mountains that I am preparing to park my RV, install solar, grow my own food & hunker down for the long haul.
Always a good plan👍
We bought property and found out zoning laws won't work for us! What the heck! Bad, bad luck!
We were getting ready to fulltime in 2020. Seeing where things were going we decided to buy some acres and start a homestead. Best decision! We now are fulltiming on our own land lol. Our neighbors even came over and dug a pond for us. We now have a community we trust, havent seen a grocery store in months and are far away from any big city.
I agree. We will never sell our travel trailer! Never! If our house burns up or gets flooded or something else, we can get in our little trailer and move it anywhere. Things are not going to get better. The Bible tells me so. ❤️ We love you guys. Thanks for this!
I'm keeping mine for same reasons. My backup escape hatch.
Same here. It's exactly why I bought my school bus/RV. It may also come in handy after I retire and my income is slashed in half.
Same 😊@@BillGreenAZ
Living in fear is not the American way.
America no longer exists as it did from its inception. We are headed for a totalitarian state that will be 1984 level bad.
No other options unless you like prison
Understanding the cause of fear allows one to be prepared. Being prepared IS the American way.
Fear is the fire under your but to cause you to do something & save yourself.
its the Biden way...he has already destroyed our country....literally...now we must live in fear in this country...
We found our secret gem location. Reno is east of the sierra mountain range often protected from the coast from massive snow storms. Few people know about Reno and those who do think it’s a place they don’t want to go to lol. We have so much wide open spaces in Nevada which is fantastic for folks who want to stay away from large populated cities. Nevada is the 7th largest state and only has 1 large metropolitan city with a million and up population.(Vegas) which is at the bottom of the state. Reno has 10,000 foot mountains to the west which is not populated, north east and south of Reno is wide open deserts with very small communities. I’m not worried for us but I am worried for my family that live in other states.
Great advice!! A lot of people understand you, and many mock this advice. But you are spot on. People be ready, calm, but ready.
I agree. We are on our way back home to Idaho from Florida and so many of places we RV’d have long term people living there and when I asked about it they said people are wanting to stay longer not knowing what’s happening! Your on target ❤🙏
Thank you for that info Cindy. Stay safe
That's because Republicans have cut social security down to nothing so people are forced to retire in rv's and cars. Millions of elderly can't afford a home or apartment
I believe, and will definitely not travel. I’m 72 years old and see the writing on the wall. Lord help us all. Thanks for the content ❤
You’re very welcome. Stay safe
I'm 83. Praying.🙏

I refuse to live my life being scared and isolated.
@@zandrahamilton3944 Being prepared is not being scared. Staying away from major population areas these days is smart. An RV campground is not isolated. Camping remote on National Forest or BLM ground is.
@@chrisbrown2627 well isn't that what RVing is all about?….getting away from people and cities? At least that why we do it. We are also well prepared and 💪med 😏 at all times.
Vagabond? Wow. Aren’t you jugdey 😳 sounds like you need to get off your high horse.
Vagabond? Wow. Aren’t you jugdey 😳 sounds like you need to get off your high horse.
I don't RV but have considered it. I use to go camping with no frills. Tent bag lamp fishing pole shotgun. Loved it. 50 years ago it was almost safe now I worry about being on the road. God has placed me in a safe place and be done with travel. Have fun and explore every where, God bless all.
Glad you enjoyed camping in the old way. I have such happy memories of it.
50 years ago there was more crime, in every category that matters. Today $1 trillion is stolen by tax cheats every year though and we need IRS auditors to catch them. Vote for politicians who support Justice systems, government institutions and IRS.
@jr.6199. 50 years ago we didn't have 33 million illegal aliens received taxpayer handouts roaming the country murdering US citizens.
Wife and I have had several security issues over the years. Its scary shit! For me I immediately think tactically yet physically I’m far FROM THAT Whipper snapper I once was. Its why we stopped free camping years ago. Even then parking lots can turn to casualty sites in seconds
Stay vigilant
@gar,
Can you imagine people hate you and want you destroyed.
Can you imagine people want to destroy everything built by Northern European Heritage folk.
Park in a circle.
I barely travel anymore with my camper, pre-covid, campgrounds were full of nice people having fun who love camping, every campground felt like a community of friends. After years of record RV sales, now campgrounds are full of people who aren't in love with camping and they have just have poured water on the happy environment in most parks. So, for me, it has nothing to do with safety, it has to do with how TOXIC campgrounds are becoming. Add on the price of trucks, campers, gas, maintenance... camping is no longer the cheap and fun way to vacation.
I hear ya!
In FL the parks are full of degenerate NY Transplants. Always with at least 2 Yap Dogs.
My husband and I go camping many times in the summer mostly in our home state of NY so far we have not found any problems at campgrounds. We camp mostly at State Campgrounds much more relaxed environment.
I hate you are having that experience! We've not had this experience ourselves. Been fulltime here the past 3 years. Met some amazing people, and made life-long friends!
@@jmb-cm7mr There was no charge in the late 1960-early 1970 ... before ZION BANKING took over the USA completely along with their "Insurance Companies" ... using their "Lawyers& Lawmakers".
Good words and very true! I retired from the Army in 2010 with three combat deployments. When I saw who was in office, I noticed that this country was being pushed in a different direction. So, we bought land and started homesteading and prepping. At first, my family thought I was paranoid and crazy, but their perspective changed when they saw what we recently went through. People forget so easily.
I once told someone that Bob from down the street will be a different person after a week without water or food, even more dangerous if he has a family to take care of. Most people are stuck in their cushy world and don’t realize how quickly things can change.
I normally don't watch RV content, but you've got a follow now.
Also, if more people hunker down for a minute and lock in a few months, you are keeping that campground in business during hard times.
We are fulltime, headed to Nova Scotia until August. I am retired law enforcement and always am cautious. In November we will be on the farm in Tennessee about 100 miles from you.
🙏❤️🇺🇸
I agree with you two. It is better to be prepared and nothing happen. No downside that way. I had the same thought today and went shopping for needed items. I will do it a little at a time and slowly build it up.
What a weird take. One of my favorite things about living on the road is that when things get weird, I can drive away from the madness and disappear into the wilds. Even as a (gasp) solo female 😅
Hey, do what you think you need to do but I've been in a lot of places with actual lawlessness and unrest and most people come out just fine. I had friends in Minneapolis a few years back when there were riots and protests and it was a very small portion of the city. They were never in any danger. The media loves to exaggerate things because it gets a rise out of people to play on their fears. People love to think they've got it tough but we've not experienced anything like the years of the great depression. And in our worst riots we've never come close to descending to the level of crime and lack of respect for life that people in places like Haiti deal with almost daily. November will come and go with some unrest in major cities and when those who benefit from causing trouble have milked it as far as they can it will stop. Preparedness is not a bad thing and who goes on a road trip without being prepared for the unexpected anyway? The idea of hunkering down in an RV park assumes there is safety in numbers which can be true if everyone there has the same ideology and sense of community. But never being in the same place to allow a bad actor time t asses your habits and routines is also a good way to stay safe. But, really, unless you're camped out in downtown San Francisco or D.C. or somewhere like that your chances of being affected by the "unrest" are slim to none. Something tells me if I do my thing and you do yours we'll both still be just fine in the coming months and years. As for the fearful who love to bash everyone who isn't fearful, well, all I can say is I've done all I can actually do to prepare myself and to change situations where I could. After that I can't worry about it anymore. I'll leave the extra worry to you since some of y'all seem to need anxiety to survive.
Glad I clicked on this uplifting and fearless message. I am not an RV person but travel and camp in wild places from my motorcycle and have decided I will be close to my mountain home come fall for the very reasons stated here.
You guys are spot on, I won't be traveling this year because of everything you've mentioned. And no it's not out of fear, it's out of intelligent planning, period.
no, your news sources have whipped you into a frenzy of fear..your political leader has created chaos and seperation like never before.
Freedom people, life is short, travel all you want, go where you want, do what you want and when you want to do it, plain and simple! Happy trails.
I love you guys! Heart hugs-I'm a 55 yr old widow in Wyoming close to Yellowstone, I cannot stand cities, I'm 6 hours from both major cities in my state, I really hope people listen to your important message, my husband has been gone 12 years now, it's just me, my dog, and my shotgun, God will see us through this, he will make a way when there is none that we see. I am not scared either, we cannot destroy or control evil, we can only choose not to be a part of it, I have my sticks and bricks and a little land, I would just like to travel more in the warm months, and your campground sounds amazing, would love to come visit and meet you guys in person someday
Yes, country has issues . . . always has. But hunker down? I don't think so. I travel full time and will continue to do so. One just needs to be cautious as to where they travel.
I lock my RV door at night, some times during the day, for the safety of the intruder

I agree with all y’all said. I’m glad you guys are hunkered down. I have been thinking these are things for awhile. People are better off in the country, away from all major cities 🤦🏼♀️ You guys are right & I pray that folks will listen & stay safe🙏🏼
We love you Bunnie❤️ Stay safe hunny
I can guarantee you that the safest spot is between the country and the city. People who grow illegals go out to the country. Escapees go out to the country. Police, ambulance, repair people will take too long to get their in an emergency. Fixing things are way more expensive in the country. Trust me on this one as I know this as a fact! I've talked with my Uncle and several other people who lived in the country. My dad was building a home in the 'country' that became suburbs, but before it became suburbs to get anyone to come out and fix it, required arguing and convincing! It was ridiculous!
So true. It's not about to be afraid but being prepared! Look at everything from your heart not from a separation and know that everything will be ok when we stand together, we already win!❤️Thank you 🎉
Well...this is the 3rd new video I've watched this morning from RV/Van lifers that have addressed these exact concerns. This concern about "unrest" as you all call it...seems to be a tsunami of sorts through the camping communities.
That being said, my family has made the provisions as you described for probably the last 10 years based on ANY pending disaster.
Thank you for your insights and I'll be updating my supplies and and becoming more alert to things going on. Currently I have no t.v., radio or watch/read any type of news. Local or national. Maybe I should.
I`m building a vegetable garden and planting a large orchard. Chickens are next.
Awesome! We have a big garden and plenty of chickens
I have a veggie garden with a chain link fence around it. The fence is to keep the deer out, but I may need to lock to gate in an attempt to protect my food supply. I realize the lock will only slow people down, but it may help somewhat.
Get them SOON…the latest threat is ‘bird flu’ and you may not get them in the spring. (Our normal time to increase our flock is spring, we were just discussing about much sooner too!)
We currently are down to 28 chickens…makes us nervous to have so few.
Until they take that away like some states are doing to small farmers so get ypur stuff now and defend it
@@timothyberlinski2299
Those 'they' have homes, addresses, family to be shunned.
I don't know how you two were able to afford to go RVing for a month! I live in my RV, on my parents 5 acres in Ky. It's beat up, needs repair, got mice I can't get rid of and, I have no plumbing. You know what? Other than the mice; I'm pretty content. Doing pretty good. It's harder now that,
I had to change jobs. Took a big pay cut for workplace peace of mind. I'm still doing okay.
You need to get you several cats that have been nutered for your mice problem, just feed them very little cat food so that they will eat the mice. When you see your mice problem no longer exists, note whether your cats are losing weight and then feed them more cat food.
Peppermint oil sprayed around the areas the mice can climb up. I use the water in bucket method- the mice walk up a ramp to get at the peanut butter on a soda can on a wire across the top. They fall into the water.
Five gallon bucket. 👍
2nd the peppermint oil. Put some on a cottonball and leave it around all over. mix some of it with some water in a spray bottle and spray it around. Works for squirrels too. Don't use poison, the mice will go off and die and other animals will eat them live or dead, and the poison will kill them too. My neighbor killed off an entire cat colony of the other neighbor, as well as quite a few wildlife critters by putting poison out in his garage. Very cruel way for any animal to die. Try to seal up all holes and entryways inside. Make sure grass and vegetation is kept short around the outside. I used the bucket trick other commenter mentioned, but for catching escaped hamsters, and minus the water obviously. If you're not into killing them, leave the water out and use a lid with hole cut out of top. For plumbing, not sure if any of this helps since you've obviously been staying in it awhile sounds like, look into DIY compost toilets. Plumbing, look around for a water storage tote, expensive new, got a guy down here in TN sells them around 50. for a 250. gallon one. You could easily rig something up so you'd at least have some water running into a sink. Very basic setup wouldn't be difficult-and I'm not very handy :)
@@alvisjenkins1305 No need to starve the cats, that's just cruel. Most cats will go after a mouse regardless, it's a hunting instinct.

When it started: The "Nixon Shock" (abandoning the gold standard) altered the monetary landscape, allowing for more government spending but also introducing risks like inflation and trade imbalances. While some praised Nixon’s bold move, others criticized it as risky or inflationary. The ship might be stabilized by the return of the Gold Standard.
I think this is very sound advice. I've been blessed living in a rural area, and it was pretty quiet during all the turmoil in 2020. It's definitely good to prepare, and agreed 100% to have your two cousins, Mr. Smith and Mr. Wesson with you along with an abundance of freedom seeds.
My wife and I had a personal experience when we stopped at one of the New Hampshire State Liquor stores right off the highway, a few years ago. We went into the liquor store to check it out and on our way out we noticed this individual watching us as we walked to our class B Winnebago. We suspected something was wrong and didn't drive off before we saw him leave the parking lot. We both felt strongly that he was up to no good.
Maybe he was just curious about the strange people who just rolled into the liquor store, in their Winnebago? Just because you felt uncomfortable doesn’t make it true.
@@colonialstraits1069 intuition is God’s giftof self preservation…. ever ever disrespect that gift from heavenfor us.🙏❤
You are living in fear of NOTHING. You are truly a sad individual. Just because a guy is looking at you or your stuff doesn't mean anything. Lighten up man. You can't go living like that anymore.
@@JLu20 intuition can be wrong. I don't know the people who posted their story so I won't speak to their situation but some people are just paranoid.
Being aware and and observant of people around you is a good survival skill.
2003, we built our ExpeditionVehicle.
Over two decades full-time live-aboard.
.
For about a half-decade, we workkamp a small organic teaching farm near the outskirts of Eugene, Oregon.
We share the acreage with a couple-three dozen other workkampers in various versions of home-built HouseTrucks and RecreateVehicles.
.
None of our people are considering leaving.
This's a good time to join a sustainable community.
Go strapped or get clapped. We are on our 14th rv in 32 years. We've been full timing since 2004 and retired since 2020. We have real estate holdings in 3 states of 40-1047 acres. We NEVER go through large cities, prefering to take secondary routes. We both pack .45's, both have a shotgun and both have an AR platform. We spend winters in Mexico and do take our .45's, well hidden, Outside of being on the road, we stock 6 months of food on our acreage parcels and extra ammo. Just because you're paranoid, doesn't mean they're NOT watching...
Our RV is currently on a long term lease an hour north of our home serving as a secondary bug out location. Our home was already a Bug Out location we moved to permanently 12 years ago when it became apparent that things were going to get worse.
Your two biggest threats as this year goes forward are:
1. Starvation
2. People behaving badly
Figure out how to isolate yourselves from those and you’ll make it. 😉👍
Not a full timer, but an avid enthusiast with a couple RV's. Have never done the big cities anyway accept for passing through on a long trip. But that was in the past. If I'm traveling this year, it's back roads and small towns. Route 66 style travel is my new thing.
Yeah, stay away from big cities and I think you’ll be fine.

Remember the 7 deadly sins are not political. Greed, selfishness, and lies. People are actually stupid and lie to themselves. It's never the others... It's always about our own soul.
The Christians & Evangelists support an immoral candidate that Republicans refuse to throw out of their party. Their morale compasses are way off the scale. Try practicing what you preach ! Why are Republicans supporting a Lawless candidate with 34 Felony convictions ? " Thou shalt not commit adultery.”
“ Thou shalt not steal. ”
Greed is only one of the sins that you got right. Lies and Selfishness are not considered to be one of the "7 deadly sins".
@@Bonzi_Buddy Gluttony for lying is 45's standard operating procedure. Gluttony is one of those 7 sins ! 🤔
The Noahide Laws are now in our Constitution and LAW #1 will condemn you to death by beheading if you reverence Jesus as the Son of God . The Global Zionist Jews who actually runs this Administration will be the Judges . Sounds like the bible in Revelations 20 verse 4
I drive a truck all over this country. There is no place that I don’t feel safe. Just have situational awareness, and don’t do stupid s**t.
Exactly and I don’t consider financial matters to be life or death like these people present it. I’m 5 to 125 pounds and I have been assaulted more times than I care to admit. But I exercise my rights and I have no fear.
“As a female myself… pleeeze pleeeze listen to this…”
I also am an actual female and believe me… wherever I am is a safe place regardless of whatever politicians are doing. Fear mongering is loathsome. Shame on you. Seriously.
Thank you for speaking this truth. I’m a single older woman. I spend part of my year in Michigan. And then the winter. I spend in Quartzsite Az. I will be making sure to get myself settled into my Arizona place early, by mid October. You are speaking some good truth.
We are in Michigan too. Ever need a safety net to boondock we live on a 10 acre farm and would make room for you.😊
@@lindabaker7180 I was contemplating a move to Michigan, could you recommend some smaller towns that you feel are the safest thanks! Father of 5 in AZ.
A nice smaller town is Hastings, MI. Middle of lower part and about 1 hour from Grand Rapids, Kalamazoo or Lansing.
I'm just not someone who talks about spiritual matters (or signs); but, I was watching a movie and I had to pause it. I suddenly felt like there was something I needed to do... I was "led" right here. I've been feeling like something important is happening. Thankfully, everything you said in your video has been happening in the last year. I'm a single woman RVer and I'm now in a pre-paid yearly lease in Yuma AZ (right on the river). I started stacking #10 cans of food and I've felt like I've been getting signs that it is time to be ready for what I've been feeling. I wish I was more prepared; but, I trust God's plan for me and I am not afraid.
Living in fear attracts more fear, trusting the Lord and listening to Him will guide you to be safe.
I don't know if you're aware of the LDS Mormon home storage centers. You can buy food that is dehydrated and sealed in number 10 cans, one gallon size. Google LDS home Storage Center and see if there is one near you. If not you can mail order and it is extremely inexpensive including the shipping. They have lots of basic staple food items, such as flour sugar pasta rice, dehydrated carrots, several kinds of dried beans, oatmeal, dehydrated onions, etc. Almost every can they sell is $10 or less. I highly recommend it, You do not have to be a Mormon to buy long term food there.
What exactly do you think you are doing here that is important in any way?
@MrJhchrist I didn't do anything important. I came here and confirmed that others are having the exact same thoughts I have been. I am thankful for their video. That is all.
@MrJhchrist oh, and I also confirmed that you can't read properly. The comment referenced "something important happening".
Curious as to what crumbled. Hear this all the time but no one can ever list one thing, specifically.
Seriously?? $1,000,000,000,000 added to the debt EVERY 100 DAYS?! WIDE OPEN border?! Laken Riley?!
wRONG! Chicago is not going bankrupt. Did you read that in the National enquirer?!
Great
Advice!!
I would rather be prepared and not need The preparedness!!
Than Not Be Prepared And Wishing I was Prepared!!
Thanks John and Mercedes for being that Voice!
Keep Smiling On!!

Im a park owner on the south east part of Alabama and im definitely getting more long term campers but i dont lease anything its just month to month. There is zero crime anywhere near us as far as i know. Keep up the great work guys and I definitely need to pray more and be less "busy".
Dauphin Island is nice..I'm nearby myself
Take on the fear and let it dominate your life. Live with the Golden Rule and you only have the craziest to worry about. In the meantime, work for living wage laws and better health care for all of us.
Food, water, medicines, cleaners, fuel, etc. are all important to stock up on. It is also important to have enough ammo to make certain you can keep your supplies.
I don't even own an RV, but I've been watching the RV Odd Couple for a few years now. 🙂 😍 I am in total agreement with your words, and what a blessing that you are to anyone who has ears to hear.
Thank you Cathy❤️❤️❤️
Yes they are Cathy!
We feel honored to call them our friends!
@@RVOddCouple
Much love to you John and Mercedes...you make me laugh, and your love for God and country is wonderful to see!!!
By the way, I started looking at RV lifestyles in 2020 during the pandemic...you know, that whole ball of wax. I am sort of estranged from some family members due my choice in not getting the special medicine...which resulted in me not being able to see my aunt who was failing due to Alzheimer's and has since died. I was not able to see her one last time and give her a hug or say goodbye. There's a lot more to that event, but suffice it to say, that there is a real division between families...as I'm sure you are aware of all that.
As a side note, my oldest daughter has a RV! I was so surprised! LOL 😅
@@arbonneladyTN - Awwww!!! Wonderful to hear that!! Thank you for sharing that and it's nice to know that there is a nice group of people who are working to make the world a better place! Peace and blessing to you and I'll lift a prayer for you and your loved ones...
Great advice. A friend is someone who will tell you the truth, not what you want to hear. I feel the same way about the next 6 months to a year. I hope and pray that we are both wrong. See you guys in a week.
The best kind of friend
I am 72, I remember when I was 22 everyone was saying, buy food, guns etc. etc. This same message seems to come every few years and makes the preppers a ton of money.
You're actually safer being mobile. Those of us trapped in one place are sitting ducks.
Under Illinois state law, municipalities are not allowed to file bankruptcy. Please research before spreading false information, it takes away from the fact that there is huge debt that needs to be addressed in this country.
Oh….i understand now. So since there is an actual law the government can’t do whatever it wants to do. What a relief! You better get your head out of the sand buddy. When SHTF…..and it will…..rules won’t matter. Liberals will do anything they like as long as they are in power. Chicago, like NYC and LA, won’t have government by the people and for the people in your lifetime.
These two are dumb and dumber. Hard to listen to. Couldn't watch the whole fear mongering garbage
chicago can declare bankruptcy under chapter 9 BUT it must be approved by the state... so chicago would thus be under state financial management prior to defaulting on its obligations and as the state is in a difficult situation as well then most likely a federal court appointed special master would thus ultimately decide the methods, protocols, procedures and regulations regarding the fate of chicago's level of city services and repayment of debt... that's probably a couple years away but is foreseeable ...i don't see any forgiveness on debt but i don't see chicago in control of its own future either... bad time to invest or move to these cities for then next decade or so
there are 49 other states
Thank you for speaking the truth to this babble!
Derek Johnson (a veteran) has given me hope. There is a light at the end of the tunnel, and it isnt a train. The real criminals will be going down.

we have the Patriot act currently in place.. if veterans were heros, there would be no patriot act.
What a false hope, not bourne on the back of Facts. That light at the end of the tunnel is not a train, its napalm.
@@harriettanthony7352 It IS a fact. There are amazing things going on behind the scenes that you, apparently, are not aware of and they were all planned years ago. The plan is on schedule and almost complete.
@@harriettanthony7352 open your mind to the possibilities ... it'll be fun
Rv life interests me. I've thought more of spending 2 to 3 months out of the year to go and park outside different trails and back pack. I definitely want to consider full time RV living at some point and picking up odd jobs
Also consider a place to park if the campgrounds are forced to be closed again - have a Plan B!
Great advise. Being prepared removes fear and anxiety. We are weekend warrior RV'rs and we have stocked up on "essentials" over this past year. The "mostly peaceful" protestors have really become emboldened and I agree that things could get ugly fast. The more prepared you are, the less anxiety you will have should things go south. The proven OODA loop decision making model (Observe-Orient-Decide-Act) works well during stressful situations, it will keep you focused on resolving your problem. God Bless and you guys stay safe. As always, love your content and candor.
OODA LOOP SMART
I posted that on my community tab today. But people need to practice that in advance.
"This isn't about fear...but you're not safe!"
"Stay away from the cities!" Who drives a big RV into the cities anyway??
"Long term leases are the answer!" Wouldn't I be better off simply going home or with relatives and hunkering down there instead? This option isn't even mentioned. And wouldn't you know it - you run an RV park. Objective opinions for sure!
I'm in Canada and what it means to me is the average person has been priced out of any kind of home, the only thing doable is a mobile home and the financing for these is dicey at best. I have been considering an rv because I just got notice 2 weeks ago that I have 2 months to find a new place. Rents have doubled since I moved here 4 1/2 yrs. ago, I can't afford anything out there. Majority of our campgrounds won't do long term stays, especially during summer, basically living in your rv or car is illegal so your constantly being vigilant of not being caught. I have never in my 70 years felt so hopeless about housing and a safe place to put my bed.
And you can park here for awhile, be part of our “cult”😂
Another safe thing is to be in the place that your license plate is from during the election. Having an out of state plate will not be safe.
Blue states, Red states, chose wisely!
Blue your in danger and misery RED and you can get help,carry, and protect! So????
@user-g,
Back in the olden days, 'those dirty reds' were the BOLSHEVIKS.
Did the BOLSHEVIKS change the definition?
Again?
I agree, stay out of the gun crazy red states, at least in the blue states all the whackos with guns have stayed away.. yay! I think the safest place in the country will be San Francisco. The right wing media has scared away all of the gun toting nut cases
Absolutely. Most of the Blue States budget surpluses help fund the Red States!

That’s why I love you guys. You’re so honest! Thank you. My husband and I were supposed to start rving a couple years ago till he had a stroke and passed last year. I’ve been thinking of solo camping, but I’ve been a Christian for years and felt God telling me exactly what you said! Continuing to pray.
There are some women who go camping together. 👍
A wise message of preparedness, not fear as some will claim. Thanks for having the courage. Your words were not lost on many of us.
Fear is of the devil, love and peace comes from God.
Wisdom and discernment also come from God.
Worship of Satan will free your soul!
"What time I am afraid I will trust in Thee." It's not a sin to be afraid. It is human. But know WHO to turn to.
@@user-rj9kj3on1x The same God that destroys Sodom and Gomorrah, yet allows the daughter to sleep with the father to have children? Genesis 19:34
I love you guys. You say it like it is. It's true, I avoid any large city when we are traveling in our RV. If we have to pass through one, I make sure I'm filled up on fuel 50 miles before we pass through. We are traveling next month from the Midwest to the Pacific Northwest. You can believe, we make all preparations to avoid crowed places. All campgrounds we are staying at are in wilderness areas. No way we would stay in a city. Thank you for posting an awesome video. You guys rock!!
Saltwater State Park is great if you stay over in Washington in transit.
@@LilyGazou Thank you!
@@garyp9906 I live near it and can be your tour guide. Best places to buy supplies. Visit the marina in Des Moines, music in summer, and the saltwater aquarium in Redondo area.
I'm ok with this message. Less traffic. More boondocking spots. 😁
I bought a half acher of land here in East tn up in the mountains I'm working now to save up for a a big rig to put on it thankGod it has a spring on it I'm thankful to God for it It's so hard to afford to get ahead right now but keep working hard an don't give up an we can achieve what we are trying to do. God bless
John and Mercedes, we love your message and agree wholeheartedly! We feel like family here, God bless all 🙏 ❤. Bob and Carol from New Mexico
We love having y’all ❤️ God bless and thank you for coming 🙏
The only issue I have with long term lease stays is these resorts want your RV to be no more than 5 years old, hurricane strapping (the science behind that is all over the place from bent frames etc;) and RV skirting. If there's a hurricane and you have to evacuate you have to break all that stuff down throw it away. Then come back and spend more money constructing it again.
This is a problem!
I can honestly say, Suwannee River Rendezvous Resort in Mayo FL is open and not like that.
Family friendly and Mayo is a small town.
If we were traveling we'd be hitting TCC! We are in our mid 60s we have a 12 year old and this is a safe campground.
@shek,
The only problem with resorts is the "Hello, I'm ____ !" name badges.
Oh, and the shuffleboard marathons.
And those canasta tournaments.
.
The other only problem is the perky Activities Director...
Inflation is 3.4% its been around there for the past year, down from a high of 9.7% in 2022 following Covid. Right now the World Bank just stated this week that the US economy is so good it is stabilizing the rest of the world.
As far as hunkering down for months, I don't think we should be panicking. I would make sure you're somewhere safe for election day/ week, but I think this video is a bit over the top.
I totally agree but I am going a different direction. I just listed my Arizona land, a perfect off grid self contained homestead in order to go out and travel the country to help fight the fire..so to speak. I believe we, as a Country, will need all types combat the unrest in our own way...some by banding together and building the Faith in God and Country and others by opposing those who chose to tear it down. Don't get me wrong, I'm not talking about looking for a fight. Rather I plan to encourage folks around my travels to believe in THIS Country and how great it can be. That in itself might be a battle.
Good plan. And honorable.
Just buy an acre of land in a safe place and forget about the RV parks.
But check the zoning, because many places (even remote) have restrictions on which types of dwellings you can occupy, and for how long, ON YOUR OWN LAND.
@@joshm3342 Indeed. I live in poverty stricken Torrance Co NM and they wont let you live on your land with a mobile RV or Tiny home due to restrictions by the state on permitting. The dwelling has to be up to code ( which gets more strict every year), even if you have your own well and septic done.
IF we had money/savings....
@@MesaMynx Sounds like it's time to move to a more friendly area that does not trample on your rights. You choose where to live, not the other way around.
I agree good Neighbors are your best allies.
Great to see your smiling faces from Newnan, Ga!
I was born there in 1955 !
I just bought an older restored Fifth wheeler to stay in stationary. It is way out on private property which is in the mountains 50+ miles from a small town and 250 from a city. Plus I considered and prepared for all of the rest. Because I feel this will happen.
Hi guys, We're in Pennsylvania and its absolutely crazy with rent and taxes here!!! Its not "just" the Government, its the people themselves stabbing each other in the back for a buck. I purchased a small parcel of land in Arizona last October, we didn't get there yet, hopefully leaving in September.
Pennsylvania is the 2nd highest taxed state today.
We should have left 30yrs ago.
Thank you for the video information. ❤👍
Staying in the same places really?? You might as well stay home. Cause who wants the same neighbor the whole time your camping. 😩
@con,
We full-time live-aboard.
Our ExpeditionVehicle is our home.
Twenty-four months, twenty-four thousand miles around South America.
Alaska, Panama, all over North and Central America.
Summers up rough logger tracks to remote mountain lakes.
Winters on isolated Baja beaches.

I don't think anyone going to be safe..."wrong place right time." We are already seeing the indifference to the law! Hunker down and Be safe everyone, GM
You know, something that's cool about you guys is you're still young. You're still bright eyed and engaged in your lives yall have been through some stuff (Marriage, Your Kids) and you seem more seasoned for it. Yall will be in my prayers tonight and I hope you don't stop making these videos
I prepared for this ten years ago. I have my own property in NE AZ and a friend there with 80 fenced acres. And I made my little RV offgrid. Can live in it with zero hookups
Great info and presentation! Thank you!
Thank you
From being laughed at to being The Man lol
Absolutely I’m feeling the same and have been for years but now it’s on the whole higher strata
I wasn't terrified until I watched the first couple of minutes of this video.
Terror makes you weak and ultimately a victim. You need to toughen up or you wont make it through what's coming. Or if you're in the states get armed.
Don"t believe everything you see on you tube. It's all brainwashing so they get more likes and more money. Common sense will keep you safe.
can you imagine ipracticing the love and forgiveness and teachings of christ- 'arm yourself and hunker down' - more American Jesus belief... ugh
Fear mongers to get long term leases, transparently greedy. Watch your wallet around these guys.
Don't listen to this. Obviously their 'campground' is empty.
