Glad you mentioned at 18:02 about printing off or writing down info from the internet! Seems we are at that age where we used to write things down we found, while the younger ones think it is crazy because "you can always go look it up", never imagining life without constant access. I think that right there may be a game changer for some.
Agreed. I've started a binder of the how-tos for running my homestead by season (I have audhd and zero memory, so it's essential for me to function). I want to have a manual for my young adult kids if they need to take over. Recipes, maintenance, location of manuals, addresses of resources, etc. Thinking of buying the Appalachian Foxfire how-to book series. Those are closest to what my grandparents did everyday and I recognize their universal wisdom.
I figured this out when I had to choose somewhere to live between my home and my mother's home when she was ill. I chose food security...The Amish around here at the Farmers markets...and my yard that is a microclimate gift from God, can grow my garden so early and the frost comes so late that I can grow things all but 2 months out of the year. Food security is the reason I am here...and I have been here now for 10 years. I can't seem to find a more food secure place. It's a little scary to think about losing that!
Thank you, Troy. Preparing & being ready to be of aid or provide succor to family & neighbors is crucial when the system collapses from corruption. I hope we all can practice "love thy neighbors" enthusiastically to help ride out the dark malevolent intentions the powerful have used to make us fear neighbors or people who are different instead of us holding the powerful accountable. As my working class farming family taught me: Let love lead in all things -- and be smart about it.
Wise words. Beginning food preservation can be intimidating for people, but that can be lessened by finding and befriending local gardeners. A great place to find them is in your church and then at a local farmers market. Make a chart of your goals and start small. But, get started. Find Grace in your success and failures both and it’ll seem less a task a more the blessing that it truly is to learn and implement being less swayed by this modern mess of a society we have.
I have been watching a few videos talking about the debt and such of our country and how it will most likely be the catalyst of a severe economic collapse, possibly worse than the great depression I less it's managed well. And with our current state of affairs in our political system both here and abroad I don't have much confidence that it would be solved gently. Not trying to spread a message of doom but when you look at the prices of housing and food you see that it is not sustainable and something is going to have to give at some point. That's why it is important to be prepared and have the skills that are needed.
"It is always and everywhere, a monetary phenomenon. It's always and everywhere, a result of too much money, of a more rapid increase in the quantity of money than an output. Moreover, in the modern era, the important next step is to recognize that today, governments control the quantity of money. So that as a result, inflation in the United States is made in Washington and nowhere else." Friedman
The problem with beans and rice is that they take massive inputs of water and energy to make edible. You should always have a decent storage of food that it portable and ready to eat. Hard tack and real pemmican are good examples.
Food will become more expensive faster than your 401k will grow. Especially if its +5% APY per year since a broker is going to skim the top "manageing" it. If you plant an orchard, and the market crashes like 2008 and 2020 the tree still bears fruit and only gains in $ value.
Food security means to me where is my next meal coming from. There are a lot of people living paycheck to paycheck and barely have enough to make it through the month to the next paycheck....
Growing food peasant crops, that causes harm is not the key. Growing food to feed the animals that will absorb the nutrients that will provide it to you is. Carbs convert into sugars. Spiking insulin and creating liver secretions of lactic acidosis; the single mechanism of all chronic disease.
@@bradjenkins932 Huzzah! I was about to bite the bullet and get on meds. Pre-diabetic, hypertension stage two, clinical tachycardia, chronic pain, autoimmune disorders, on and on. Searching high and low for something to do that wasn't meds but nothing worked. All I had to do was stop eating those stupid plants and all fixed. And I look and feel 30 years younger. I'm super thankful, but also a little mad I wasted my life eating them. 😆
Man, what happened to you microphone? Financial security only matters after your material needs are met. Money, as it turns out, is only good for three things; living, giving and saving. If we have met our own needs, and have saved enough to ensure our own future needs, helping others is the only good thing left to do with money. If we can use it to help ensure the food security of others...I can think of nothing more noble, or Biblical, than that.

Good advice, Troy. Chances are you are speaking to the choir but I must say it again, learn to grow food NOW, because the learning curve is steep!
Investing in your own food security is a great investment for yourself and community. Great advice.
We love Jackery too. 😊

Thanks Troy! Great as always.
Diversification is my strategy. And it must be getting close to that once a year haircut 😮😂

Excellent video thank you
would you consider a video on fuel storage of all different types ?
Have small pieces of gold and silver squirreled away also.
Canned meat is great to put back ( deer season is in full swing in my area!)
From the thumbnail, I thought that must have been a homemade jar of hair conditioner. Lol. Like the locks.
If you have the room, buying #10 cans of food is a great way to stock up.

And too much starch .
@bradjenkins932 won't matter much in an SHTF scenario. Calories are calories at that point.
@@The_Argent No they are not.. Our health will be even more important then.
@bradjenkins932 and? You need carbohydrates. Also, beans are loaded with protein.
@@The_Argent No you do not carbs. I have been carb free for 5 years now, off all meds and diabetes free.
🙏😜 Pray and hope for the best, but prepare for the worst⚔️💒 God Bless us All 🇺🇸✝️

I stopped eating plants 9 months ago 👍🎉
It's a whole lot easier storing a quart of meat for a day than all the plants too 😂
@@tradermunky1998 Good job.. We stopped eating plants 18 months ago, and off all meds- and feel great.

When the crash happens, the biggest concern that will come first is going to be drinkable water.
