I got a 10 gallon bucket and a brand new toilet plunger to use as a clothes washer, in case we have no electricity.
Smart! Thanks
Every time I navigate away from your channel to watch other prepper videos, I always end up coming back to your channel. There's something about your calm, common sense approach that I really relate to. I'm a new subscriber, but not a new prepper!😁
Today's preps - bought a ferro rod, 50 lighters, paracord, tea lights, hand crank torch. Food at over three weeks. I'm getting there!
Good on you Mate. We all started small and gradually build up. If you ever have questions or need help then just ask. G.
During superstorm Sandy I went to visit my sister in law and help her get stabilized. She was starting to run out of gas for her generator after a few days. In her neighborhood there were flooded disabled vehicles. I used a hammer and screwdriver, punctured a hole in the gas tanks of the totaled cars and drained the fuel tanks into a aluminum foil roasting pan. I then used a coffee filter to run the reclaimed gasoline through on it's way to the generator.
Hero!
Wow! Good thinking...
Well done Mate. Great idea! Thanks.
Unless the vehicle is totaled, the owners will probably expect the gas tanks to be replaced. Lots of ways to siphon gas without puncturing the tank. Also, all the crud sits in the bottom of the tank, so the generator won’t run long before it’s filter is plugged,
@cuddahy1zzz The cars were totally filled with water in the passenger compartment.The car alarms were sounding and the lights flashing due to the electrical shorting.
As a new prepper I learn more from this man than most of the other preppers I've listened too. He knows what he is talking about and gives great useful information
Thank you Lyle!
True!
Yes. And he is s positive and gives solutions.
I agree 100%! He speaks more of encouragement than just the doom n gloom of what's happening! You can hear his heart...he sounds like a real decent guy...someone you'll be glad to know!😇 I truly pray God blesses n protects this guy n his family!
diyprepper how did you become so smart ?
In cold weather you can use petroleum salve on your hands when handling water, keeps your hands from drying and chapping. Old farmers trick.
Thank you Margaret!
yes,it works and keeps your hands warmer in winter. I put a pair of those cheap, one-use rubber gloves over the lightly oiled hands for work that thicker gloves would get in the way of, the baseline and rubber gloves are great for jobs, especially using water as your skin won't get wet. If not water jobs, I throw some stretch gloves over the rubber ones while shoveling snow, etc-extra warm. The stretch gloves get wet but not your hands. I have a little bucket with laundry soap I throw them all in and at the end of every day, wash, rinse and hang for the next day. stretchy gloves dry in a couple hours indoors.
It’s also good for small cuts that hurt whenever air or water hits them.
@@pattiannepascual plastic bags on your feet (over your socks of course) keeps your feet warm too especially in the winter.
In the wintertime, sometimes my hands get so dried out, they crack and bleed. Rubbing my hands with Vaseline, and putting on vinyl gloves before going to bed, has saved my hands, and restored moisture by the time I get up the next day.
Anyone who has ever worked with children, know that coffee filters are great snack bowls too!
Very true!
Restaurants usually have tons of pickles bucket that they can't give enough of them away. I probably got 20 in 2 months for free. They are thick and sturdy as well with nice seal lids.
Petroleum jelly is also great for putting a barrier between your hammock & crawling critters to keep them from crawling on YOU while you’re using your hammock! 💗👍🏽
I save every bit of dryer lint as fire starter. Works like a charm.
Yes. I stuff it into empty toilet paper tubes.
@@avanellehansen4525 Wow! Good tip!!!! Thank you.
@Bonnie Upton if you think dog hair stinks, try some cat hair. I just use cotton balls, not free but only about 2 cents a piece. Well worth the lack of stink. Lol
We use large coffe filters for popcorn bowls, sandwich plates, put them in bottom of plant containors so soil doesn't leak out, when assembling new products or working on something mechanical it's a great place to put the parts so you can see them & they won't roll away as easily.i gave a large pack of the large filters to my mechanic friends for gifts, at first , they all gave me a "what is this for" look. When I explained it, they wondered why they hadn't thought if it. Their wife's said they ordered more of them.
I worked in the state prison for 23 years. At times when I was leaving off my shift and it was raining, some of the staff would use these heavy contractor bags as a rain coat. 18:15
That video was loaded with very useful ideas. It definitely deserves a rewatch. Thank you very much for the content.
Thank you Noreen!
Rarely comment - this however deserves it. Stuff I have never heard before. Thank you
Videos of this sort help me to help my extended family in addition to our immediate household. An inventory of what you have and what you need to build up is a good thing. Sometimes, an Item will go "out of stock" but is not noticed. That is where a superior video like this one helps. You now observe that you no longer have a particular item and put that on the list for your next excursion out. Beautiful Bride and I always tell the "outlaws" that "it is better to have and not need than to need and not have." A little effort and expense pre-need make a world of difference when things go wrong.
If you’re restraining a bad guy with a zip tie, keep him under observation because an experienced bad guy can use shoe laces or other items to break free.
OK, The Super Fine was really funny. Thank you for the info.
You’re welcome Kim! Thanks for watching and commenting!
JB Weld can also be very useful for repairs like fixing cracked or broken windows, broken pot handles, eye glass earpieces , etc. It's a permanent repair for things that need to bear a load.
Yep...just realize you will Never get it back apart! 😁
I've used it to seal a puncture in a radiator. Place a small piece of screen slightly larger over the hole, apply JB in several thin layers, extending it around the edges, like feathering. Lasted at least 6 months.
Have you ever done a video on prepping at an estate sale/garage sale? Great way to stretch your prepping dollars
Great ideas! Never thought about the empty chapstick tube or the safety pin as fish hook. I might become a McGuyver-ette. Thanks!
Thank you Sherry!
Currently, zip ties are holding a section of fence until it can be repaired!!! So far, it's been a month!!!
Subscribed as soon as I saw the pool noodle window extension cord thing! Genius!
Thank you!
I need to remember to take notes whenever I find one of your videos.
Thank you Karen!
I'd mention newspaper for emergency insulation and protection from cactus needles
Very good refresher video. I actually learned some new uses here for a number of items I haven't seen anywhere else. 👍
Thank you!
Here's a cheap tip: buy many of these items for pennies on the dollar at estate sales. I always check out bathrooms at estate sales for (sometimes partial) containers of vaseline, dental floss, many useful prepper items
Great info, did you know that you can start a fire with steel wool
and a battery? One thing you forgot is Super Glue. It has many uses.
I've used it many times as a suture. New subscriber here. US Army Retired Vet.

Zip Ties get old and fail. Especially in the winter when it's dry, they tend to get brittle and break. You can extend that life by putting a small amount of water in the bag that holds them, but replacement is the best option.
You can get metal zip ties.
Re-watching today! I think you’re awesome. Such great insight and information. Thanks again!
You’re welcome Suzanne! Thanks for watching!
Great, practical information as always. Thank you!
Thanks for watching and commenting!
You have great basic info and next level info. You should have way more likes
You can join zip ties together very easily if the ones you have aren't long enough for what you need.
Yes l have done that
Brother friend...thankyou always for the relevant information.! It is always a blessing watching your videos! Thank you😁
Thank you!
Those who can afford it, look for a fondue kit for cooking and heating indoors. There are 2 types: candle and alcohol burner. It's safer than a metal can and worth it if you can afford one. The candle ones are usually relatively cheap.
You can buy cast iron trivets that have tea light holders in them. They are elevated and some are large enough that have three tea lights.
You'll eventually find a fondue set at a thrift shop. It seems to be an often donated item. I got 2 there..
@@wmluna381 mine are both from a thrift shop. You can probably also find good used items from sites like Craigslist.
I see them cheap at estate sales
You're awesome! Really love all the super practical and creative ideas you share and the manner in which you share them. Keep em coming!
Thank you Kristin!
Another use for coffee filters: Filtering old gasoline to refresh it for use in an engine.
Separate the old gas from any water that would have accumulated at the bottom of the container (the water would be on the bottom), then pour the old gas through a couple filters before mixing 1 part old gas with 4 parts new gas. The filters would catch the gummy substances that form in old gasoline, and absorb trace amounts of water to help the gas burn without causing damage to the engine or fuel filters.
Useful tips. Must get me some fine wire wool!
Thank you Holly!
Bailing Twine is handy to have around, ASK A Farmer.
Petroleum jelly for filling your airgun pellets. It increases the power of the gun by turning it in to a diesel engine. Look up "Dieseling"😊
Lots of people use a light film of chapstick on the lenses of weapon lights to make it easier to clean the carbon off
Just a few hours ago I had shared Green Beret's awesome video on closing wounds without actual sutures and you talk about it in this video. I am watching good stuff, by the looks of it. Cheers, mate! 👍
Thank you Vedic Warrior!
Now that's a useful video! I'll be rewatching to make notes for my next shopping trip. Thanks!

You are so clever. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Thanks for all the great videos.
Thank you!
Great video, thank u! Coffee filters also make great tea bags...
Also coffee filters can be used as toilet paper. Cheaper and uses less space.
The 0000 Steel wool kills it on glass and mirrors & doesnt scratch. Just FYI.
What's up brother.....enjoy your content and appreciate what you do.
Thank you Andreas!
May God bless you 🙏
Thank you for watching and commenting Victoria!
Also thanks for the trash bag tip with the bug out bag. I'm just lining my bag with it now.
I really enjoy use of options.
Thanks for watching!
Always appreciate your work. Great topics and well explained.
Thank you Bowman!
Great video. I learned a lot from the videos that go along with the explanations. I know that takes extra time to video and edit in. Thank you for that extra time and attention!

Great info!
Thank you Gabriel!
Thank you very much 😊
Terrific info. Thank you!!!!
HR here. Thx for the vid, JR.
Lotta good info this week. Like the safety pin reference. I hadn't thought of them. I've always used baling wire in the past. In many cases, pins would be a better option.
There's my comment, now a question... How much for the hat?? 😁JK!!
CYA next time. Cheers
Thanks HozelRocket! I’ll have to find one I can link to!
@@diypreppertv : THX.

Thank you Terri!
May YAH Bless
Very interesting. Thanks
You’re welcome Hugo! Thanks for watching!
In general garbage bags shouldn’t be used for food or water. A lot of them are treated with things for smell and mold and they leach chemicals.
You can also use "utter butter".
Dude, excellent video. Great suggestions.
A_
Excellent info. Thank you!
Thank you Jenn!
I just thought of a use for coffee filters is to prosses acorns....to leach the tannens out.
I love zip ties have tons of them!
Great ideas! Practical.
Plastic sleds are good. Can pull stuff or put your kids on them and pull them for those of us who live where it snows. ALSO, it would be great to do something g that has to do with our pets like dogs and cats. How to protect them like their paws for long hikes to a safe place……
Great video
Great ideas! Recently discovered you.
A twister movie reference ? Damn, i wasn't expecting that.
They just come naturally
You can also use Duct tape to start a fire. Watch a guy called coprals corner and he shows ya how to do it in a survival situation and works when it's raining and ur trying to start a fire too.
Chapstick is like petroleum jelly for fire
From the South but lived all over the world and my least favorite word is ...Commode. If SHTF ever happens and you need to know if someone is ok? Ask them what a toilet is called
I'm from the South, too. When I was growing up, when we wanted to relieve ourselves, we used the commode. A toilet was the process of grooming oneself and getting dressed.
Cuticle care is very important. Cracked cuticles is opened and can introduce bacteria an invitation to become sepsis. Also diabetics need to take extra care of their skin.
Good points!
Twister reference: priceless
Steel wool is next to worthless on cast iron, a electrolisis tank is the thing, ANYONE can build one in ten minutes
another thing antibiotic we get the little yellow tubes.
If you wear glasses..make sure to update these and also buy a second pair...a good sight is everything
Petroleum jelly is getting harder to find.
Dollar tree has it. Just bought some today.
@@DeborahStorrin-ft3nm Thanks!
Who else looked at their phone when DIY said super fine? 😂😂
Lol. I didn’t even think of that. Oops.
Add bailing wire to that list
Good stuff...adapting a sawyer on a five gallon....Im also thinking a tee shirt in bottom of bucket with straw on top of tee as a pre-filter???
