Thank you so much for this. Most apartment dwellers, singles and seniors are made to feel forgotten, when folks talk about preparedness. A friend of mine saids her neighbors mock her for having a large freezer for just herself. I've encouraged a lot of seniors in my building to get freezers of some kind. We let each other know what we need because a few of us have family that take them to Costco or Sam's. We can share the bounty and the costs. A lot of RUclips preppers have families, land, gardens and help. I've seen so many questions from singles, seniors, couples, apartment dwellers and others, remaine unaddressed. Thank you for the information. I've passed it on. I will watch it again.
I live in a government-funded apartment. When I started my prepping journey at the start of the COVID pandemic, I was mostly focused on hygiene and stocking food. I'm still stocking food, but am more now focused on world events and such stuff like that. Loving the video here. Take good care and God Bless.
I repackage in mylar bags, then put in trash cans with wheels.you can get 55 gallon trash cans with wheels at Walmart. Line them up on wall, put wood over top, then table cloth or decorative sheet from thrift store, put TV on top. Many coffee, end tables, foot stools have storage. You can then use wood to cover windows, door in apartment and pitntrash cans against wood. I have lived in hood long time.when it all hits fan, first place inner city and gangs will hit are grocery store which are in suburbs and then the homes in suburbs. They won't break into homes inner city hood because they figure if they don't have food and their stamps are gone, so are the other folks. Also, shop late or really early so neighbors don't see you bringing lots of groceries in. Don't buy camouflage stuff, it will scream you are prepped. Buy backpack that are black, brown and regular looking. Everything should make you blend in. Look like you aren't prepared. Ibam senior, people look at me and would never think I would shoot a gun. I grew up with 4 brothers, we all targetvpracticed, only sport I could compete with the guys. Dress poor and people will think you are poor.
I started in an apartment - i had four large boxes in the closet and bob bag. That was it. But at that point i didn't need much more. Box 1 - dried long time grains and flour, each packed individually in case i brough bugs back from shop. Salt, sugar, spices and puljongs. Box 2 - teas and coffee, because i know stress makes me eat, so i replace it with water and teas. Candy and hard crack cookie kind of stuff. Box 3 - cans of different sort that would be ok in room temp. Box 4 - emergency like light, candles, matches etc. Plus one empty box underneath the fourth. Bob sat next to my shoes under coat hanging above it. Oh, and a 10 l water bladder under my kitchen sink because they tended to mess up the plumming a lot. The basic idea was that i could order taxi to get to my safe place (taxis ran in emergency times too, so that was my option) and i could put all my extras i couldn't leave behind in that 4th box while waiting for taxi, load them up and get to safety. Nowadays, things are different, but back 5 years ago, at least it was a plan i could trust to work Thise four boxes were enough for 4 months of food supply for one person.
Outstanding plan. I'm sure a few tweaks here and there and you've gotten yourself a very adaptable system. Those levels of planning can definitely save you time and stress.
Great video! Get your Bugout bag ready at the door. Money, Documents, a place to sleep, weather cloths, and a way to process water, and some food. (a day hike bag basically) You never know if your apartment is actually on fire. Or if some idjit is smoking and tampered with their detector. If your trying to garden. A thought is you have at lest 2 walls and ceilings (1 bedroom). Reflectors work great for bouncing the lighting. Or if you have some money grow lights make your stairs or other out of the way places viable. Rely less on things that NEED to be cooled. Get an internal closed video/audio network (DIY) to keep an eye on people.
The cost difference between a can of tuna at $1 vs a pouch at $1.42 is a lot when you are stocking 20 cans of tuna vs 20 pouches of tuna is a deal breaker for me and I love this video. People don't realize they can hide their preps beneath their beds, behind couches, etc. I put shelving in my closets in the unused space above the hanging clothes. That helped me to put up a lot more preps. Also, having hand powered items like can openers, egg beaters, matches, candles, etc. are important to have when power goes out. You can heat a can of soup with a tea candle. Tell no one about your preps. When things get tough you will be the first person they run to for help.
Also living in an apartment you need to have renters insurance. Like you said something can happen in another apartment and you are then homeless. My insurance covers up to $1,000 a month to pay for a place for you to live for up to 12 months. But now with the high rental prices it would not get you another place for that money.
I had a studio apartment in another city, back in the day it was $375. Same building same units 30 years later $780-810 for effectively an 18' x 20'.... it's only a few hundred less than my mortgage!
Super helpful! Space is a tough commodity for us so this is valuable advice. For what it’s worth I have started writing expiration date with sharpie on front of all packs, containers and cans to make rotation a little easier because it is more visible.
Thank you for your videos! You share a lot of valuable information! I live in a 450 sq ft apartment (I am a senior) and I don't own a car anymore so I plan to just hunker down. I have been canning and stocking up but yep, space is a problem and so far I have covered up my preps away from management prying eyes! I am also in a high rise apartment and that concerns me but I watched your video on how to make the apartment safer from fallout. That I am working on for sure!
A friend of mine is in a small apt .. he uses an underbed safe for high energy impact tools .. he is lucky in that next to his complex is a storage business .. so he keeps a solid bug out bag in his apt .. probably a month plus of food and water as well but his main preps are in his storage unit less than 300 yards away.
OMG I just discovered your channel at 4:30am. I watch a lot of prep vids but onlysub to only a few prep channels. You got a new subscriber. Well spoken, VERY SENSIBLE INFO. Thank you cant wait to watch more from you.
As a person who lives in an apartment, I also keep some stuff in my car in case I need to leave the apartment. There's a few totes in the trunk with camping gear, misc. tools, clothing, water and some food. A plus about living in an apartment complex is that you have a lot of neighbors who could help "defend the perimeter" if $hit gets really bad.
Great video for the new preppers, I was just thinking how it was for me when I started 7 years ago, I'm thankfull that I had all these years to learn how to do it correctly, it's never too late to start, oh and by the way, it's critical for you to store some fresh water, you will need allot more than the 1 gallon per person per day, but it's a good start; if you can set up a rain catch system it's even better. Keep a cool head and always pick up something to put aside when you go food shopping, and before you know it you will have a few month of prep.
Great advice. I live in an apartment, watch tons of videos and this is the best I’ve seen, by far. I moved my sectional away from the walls and stacked cases of canned goods behind one side. I’m looking into ways of camouflaging them better. I filled 7 gallon water containers ($15 on Amazon) and put those back in the boxes they were delivered in and lined them up along the other wall behind second sofa section. Probably label them Christmas decorations. I’m going to use your tuna packs storage idea! I wait till the cases are on sale (less than a dollar per packet) and buy several at a time. Some come with a plastic spoon too, contained within the packaging. I reuse cardboard trays for canned tuna. I can fit 3 cans high under my sofa. I keep a water bladder for the tub on hand too. Water, I think is the most difficult to store. I’m considering the shelves like in your video, if I can find inexpensive ones with covers. I can use that to store foods that are in mason jars, to keep the light out….
For now my daughter and I live in a condo but saving to buy a house. We have a storage unit which I'm working to clear out after my husband passed away last year. Will be buying opaque tubs and WaterBricks. My "extra" pantry is now the wardrobe that his clothes were in but given away.
Apt bldg, 200+ units. You cannot hide what you have. Mgt did try to come after me, they thought I was hoarding. No, I'm a prepper and I want my neighbors to prepare, I urge them to prep. Some have told me I can feed them and I tell them, no I will NOT feed you. If I give you my food, I won't have food. I am noticing some people bringing their food in at 1 or 2 AM. I tell them, tell your kids to prep, you can't feed them. This building has 2 care coordinators. They know they need to make sure these people are getting access to extra food. I've noticed them posting notices to make people aware of where they can get free food and have it delivered. My position, don't play games. Make people aware. The more people who are prepared, the better off we all will be. What we need is a building plan to lock down if SHTF happens. No one should be allowed to get into the stairwells or go up the elevator if there's violence breaking out.
Great information. Top quality. Gold for Most families with young children/babies in big cities apartments. I would recommend them dug in as long as they can unseen. What are your thoughts? Not much content from peppers for people that can't move.
Hey thank you! I've been thinking more about just those scenarios, several other comments have asked about that. I've got a few ideas I may make another video on the subject.
Brilliant.Great advice. I will be looking forward to seeing more of your videos, Sir. People can put storage containers behind sofas., flat boxes under sofas and chairs, boxes under card or fold-out tables with large tablecloths over them. NOt so hidden, but extra room is behind doors, or as nice of boxes as they can find and stack them on top of dressers or bookcases. There are also trunks or wicker/wood 'blanket boxes' that they can use to store and they look nice.
Seriously--I've lived in apartments located in the middle of a city of millions, and in everything from medium cities to tiny towns, to isolated farms and mountain cabins. Occasionally I scan emergency preparedness videos and never find anything I haven't already considered--until found this one. You covered a few aspects that had not considered. No other video or book held those bits of information that you provided. Thank you!
Bud you have really thought these things out! It's great info to consider I appreciate your time in helping another. But don't stack gallon jugs of water because they will fail! I know first hand on that one!
@@TheUrbanSentinelChannel it was just two layers and 6 out of twelve failed right below the lid. And it only took a couple of months for this to happen. Just giving everyone a heads up.
Great Videos 💛 Just joined your Channel and enjoy your energy relaxed but to the point "excellent" I have an apartment and use closets and drawers I need to organize better and do what your saying. Thankyou✨
The building I live in has 2 open doors in the front and back. It's in a complex, but there are no locks and anyone can walk in. Luckily there are only 6 apts per building. Those doors do have commercial door closers (with that V-type hinge) that can be quickly wrapped with rope and belts to prevent them from easily being opened. *ETA: Actually my building has 12 total Apts...4 on 3 floors. The 6 Apts I was alluding to are my known long-term neighbors who I currently feel more comfort with than not. Made it a point to purposely engage with them to feel them out. I am #7 so better potentially cohesive odds.
Learn to CAN! Can your meat, veggies, fruits. Buy sale meats when you find them and CAN them! There are electric canners you can buy if you are scared to use a pressure canner.
If the outside wall lacks insulation for some reason, then you could have a "slow bake" issue in the closet during hot weather. Checking the air temp in the room during a moderately cool day just to see if it's lower and by how much vs a warmer (70° +)
I wouldn’t even attempt to survive the apocalypse in an apartment, the marauders will get you sooner rather than later, I’d take my chances and drive out into the boonies and hopefully find a group to join, or already prepare a survival group
Plan ahead now. Find that location that you think you can make in 2 hours by vehicle or 8 on foot. Highways, main roads, side road will all be jammed after the "word " gets out. Even if you left a few hours early.... there's always another population cluster in front of you that'll be just leaving. Cities won't be the ideal place in extreme scenarios but neither is stuck half way between somewhere and nowhere. Risks are part of the life. If you've got a plan and that's what you're doing, then guns blazing and go for it. 👍
I would also encourage apt dwellers to not hesitate to connect and report questionable things to the landlord, property management, or law enforcement. Be the fake nice actor person who is more trusted than not (especially as a long term renter who pays on time and keeps things up). Take the approach to report things in a manner by asking questions and asking clarification on lower-level, but still concerning matters. Or to "help" the building manager out and make their jobs easier. When I 1st moved in someone snuck in a big dog and I could see from my balcony the guy chucking crap bags underneath a pine tree. Caught him right in the act one day and yelled at him good. Then I called the office to see if they just updated their pet policy to now include dogs. I knew they hadn't, but I also new property lady would ask me why. 😂 I am always on high alert on who is coming and going and talk up people when they cannot avoid me. I had 2 separate neighbors I was so excited to confirm and see recently moved out within the last month. The trash literally took itself out and I like to think I was part of the motivating factor. 😈 Both of these degenerates caused varying levels of commotion. One was generally / directly disruptive to me (come to find out not only to myself, but other neighbors as well). The other party legitimately needed to have the police called in one night. And I was the one who did the summoning. Shockingly, the neighbors I followed up with in the hall heard the scary and loud insanity, but DID NOTHING. No calls to law enforcement or the onsite property mgr. It was news to her when I called it in the next day and she called back the following week (was on vacation). One neighbor catty corner from me said she heard the chaos, but just prefers to keep her head down. I straight up told her she shouldn't do that as it creates an unsafe environment for us all. My next door neighbor, a dad whose kids were over that night, heard it way worse as he lives under the crazies. He did nothing as well. I honestly was stunned. These 2 bad neighbors were so loud carrying on in the hall, the 911 operator heard them over the phone through my door. It was dead of night, too. 6 sheriff vehicles arrived to attend to them. Crazy thing was I left my phone in my car when all that was going down, so I had to use an old phone with no service that still had some charge to it to call 911. Don't throw those 4G and up ones away! Keep an extra in the car, too. One thing I also did was change my public WiFi name to something that sounded like the complex installed dedicated WiFi cameras in my building. This was to make people old and new think twice about cutting up in my building in after the 911 incident. Something along the lines of: *Cams1-3.6568t.KK.mgmt* 3 floors so potentially 3 secret hidden WiFi cameras. The building# we all live in is next. The small 't' thrown in to signify the main street name, and the last part was to indicate the name of the property mgmt company that we all see every month when we make our online rent payment. Psychological warfare lite. 💣💥
😎😎good stuff 👍 My buddy lives in apartment, when setting him up with a shotgun we got a cheap backpack guitar bag to camouflage it for transport to & from. They sell tactical backpack guitar bags but cost to much just buy high quality gig bag & a cheap guitar if you don’t play already. We like to cook a lot of our meat & then freeze it , We feel if power goes out it’s not as hard to cook, as compared to raw meat. The toilet bucket is over looked topic, you gotta keep 1&2 separated! Love the channel! ✌️🤟🤙

I try to help where I can, life is difficult enough. Thank you.
what happens when the power goes out .. food might last 10-14 days
@direwolf6234 You'll have to make a judgement call on what you can cook ASAP vs what if possible you can save in ice and coolers.

So many different scenarios unfolding, but it still comes down to preparing and maintaining your focus on getting things done. 😁👍

I repackage in mylar bags, then put in trash cans with wheels.you can get 55 gallon trash cans with wheels at Walmart. Line them up on wall, put wood over top, then table cloth or decorative sheet from thrift store, put TV on top. Many coffee, end tables, foot stools have storage. You can then use wood to cover windows, door in apartment and pitntrash cans against wood.
I have lived in hood long time.when it all hits fan, first place inner city and gangs will hit are grocery store which are in suburbs and then the homes in suburbs. They won't break into homes inner city hood because they figure if they don't have food and their stamps are gone, so are the other folks.
Also, shop late or really early so neighbors don't see you bringing lots of groceries in. Don't buy camouflage stuff, it will scream you are prepped. Buy backpack that are black, brown and regular looking. Everything should make you blend in. Look like you aren't prepared. Ibam senior, people look at me and would never think I would shoot a gun. I grew up with 4 brothers, we all targetvpracticed, only sport I could compete with the guys. Dress poor and people will think you are poor.
Well thought out. People can't see shadows in the dark. 👍
I started in an apartment - i had four large boxes in the closet and bob bag. That was it. But at that point i didn't need much more.
Box 1 - dried long time grains and flour, each packed individually in case i brough bugs back from shop. Salt, sugar, spices and puljongs.
Box 2 - teas and coffee, because i know stress makes me eat, so i replace it with water and teas. Candy and hard crack cookie kind of stuff.
Box 3 - cans of different sort that would be ok in room temp.
Box 4 - emergency like light, candles, matches etc.
Plus one empty box underneath the fourth.
Bob sat next to my shoes under coat hanging above it.
Oh, and a 10 l water bladder under my kitchen sink because they tended to mess up the plumming a lot.
The basic idea was that i could order taxi to get to my safe place (taxis ran in emergency times too, so that was my option) and i could put all my extras i couldn't leave behind in that 4th box while waiting for taxi, load them up and get to safety.
Nowadays, things are different, but back 5 years ago, at least it was a plan i could trust to work

Get your Bugout bag ready at the door. Money, Documents, a place to sleep, weather cloths, and a way to process water, and some food. (a day hike bag basically)
You never know if your apartment is actually on fire. Or if some idjit is smoking and tampered with their detector.
If your trying to garden. A thought is you have at lest 2 walls and ceilings (1 bedroom). Reflectors work great for bouncing the lighting. Or if you have some money grow lights make your stairs or other out of the way places viable.
Rely less on things that NEED to be cooled.

Bud you have really thought these things out! It's great info to consider I appreciate your time in helping another. But don't stack gallon jugs of water because they will fail! I know first hand on that one!
Lol! I believe it! I'm planning on moving my primary water to a different spot so nothing higher than 2 but a much longer run against a wall.
@@TheUrbanSentinelChannel it was just two layers and 6 out of twelve failed right below the lid. And it only took a couple of months for this to happen. Just giving everyone a heads up.
Place gallon water bottles in a tote, cat litter box or some container and check it regularly for leaks.

I carry a large bag purse with me all the time so what I do is I put my prepping stuff in my bag and nobody even looks at me twice
👏👏👏
I can't believe people can come into your home without notice or permission in the US just because you rent. That's awful.
Nobody understands the stress of apartment prepping,it's not your forever home but you still need to prepare very stressful
Absolutely. There are so many things you can't do because of that, getting acceptably creative in how you go about it is the key.
Learn to CAN! Can your meat, veggies, fruits. Buy sale meats when you find them and CAN them! There are electric canners you can buy if you are scared to use a pressure canner.

If I have a closet that has an exterior wall how will this effect my prepping food that is in totes
If the outside wall lacks insulation for some reason, then you could have a "slow bake" issue in the closet during hot weather. Checking the air temp in the room during a moderately cool day just to see if it's lower and by how much vs a warmer (70° +)

I wouldn’t even attempt to survive the apocalypse in an apartment, the marauders will get you sooner rather than later, I’d take my chances and drive out into the boonies and hopefully find a group to join, or already prepare a survival group
Plan ahead now. Find that location that you think you can make in 2 hours by vehicle or 8 on foot.
Highways, main roads, side road will all be jammed after the "word " gets out. Even if you left a few hours early.... there's always another population cluster in front of you that'll be just leaving.
Cities won't be the ideal place in extreme scenarios but neither is stuck half way between somewhere and nowhere.
Risks are part of the life. If you've got a plan and that's what you're doing, then guns blazing and go for it. 👍
@@TheUrbanSentinelChannel I plan on going with the Flow during the apocalypse, my plan is to be a survivor of the Lord
I would also encourage apt dwellers to not hesitate to connect and report questionable things to the landlord, property management, or law enforcement.
Be the fake nice actor person who is more trusted than not (especially as a long term renter who pays on time and keeps things up). Take the approach to report things in a manner by asking questions and asking clarification on lower-level, but still concerning matters. Or to "help" the building manager out and make their jobs easier.
When I 1st moved in someone snuck in a big dog and I could see from my balcony the guy chucking crap bags underneath a pine tree. Caught him right in the act one day and yelled at him good. Then I called the office to see if they just updated their pet policy to now include dogs. I knew they hadn't, but I also new property lady would ask me why. 😂
I am always on high alert on who is coming and going and talk up people when they cannot avoid me. I had 2 separate neighbors I was so excited to confirm and see recently moved out within the last month. The trash literally took itself out and I like to think I was part of the motivating factor. 😈
Both of these degenerates caused varying levels of commotion. One was generally / directly disruptive to me (come to find out not only to myself, but other neighbors as well). The other party legitimately needed to have the police called in one night. And I was the one who did the summoning.
Shockingly, the neighbors I followed up with in the hall heard the scary and loud insanity, but DID NOTHING. No calls to law enforcement or the onsite property mgr. It was news to her when I called it in the next day and she called back the following week (was on vacation).
One neighbor catty corner from me said she heard the chaos, but just prefers to keep her head down. I straight up told her she shouldn't do that as it creates an unsafe environment for us all. My next door neighbor, a dad whose kids were over that night, heard it way worse as he lives under the crazies. He did nothing as well. I honestly was stunned.
These 2 bad neighbors were so loud carrying on in the hall, the 911 operator heard them over the phone through my door. It was dead of night, too. 6 sheriff vehicles arrived to attend to them.
Crazy thing was I left my phone in my car when all that was going down, so I had to use an old phone with no service that still had some charge to it to call 911. Don't throw those 4G and up ones away! Keep an extra in the car, too.
One thing I also did was change my public WiFi name to something that sounded like the complex installed dedicated WiFi cameras in my building. This was to make people old and new think twice about cutting up in my building in after the 911 incident.
Something along the lines of:
*Cams1-3.6568t.KK.mgmt*
3 floors so potentially 3 secret hidden WiFi cameras. The building# we all live in is next. The small 't' thrown in to signify the main street name, and the last part was to indicate the name of the property mgmt company that we all see every month when we make our online rent payment. Psychological warfare lite. 💣💥

😎😎good stuff 👍
My buddy lives in apartment, when setting him up with a shotgun we got a cheap backpack guitar bag to camouflage it for transport to & from.
They sell tactical backpack guitar bags but cost to much just buy high quality gig bag & a cheap guitar if you don’t play already.
We like to cook a lot of our meat & then freeze it , We feel if power goes out it’s not as hard to cook, as compared to raw meat.
The toilet bucket is over looked topic, you gotta keep 1&2 separated!
