Where did you purchase your fireproof waterproof document holder?
🍁🍃🍂🤗 Thank You so much for informing us what disasters can do to us at ANYTIME!. We ALL have to be prepared ahead of ALL the chaos
Many thanks, I've been looking for "non perishable foods for emergency kit" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Ponannah Unthinkable Prestige - (just google it ) ? It is a smashing one off guide for discovering how to produce an amazing bug out plan for your survival minus the normal expense. Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my mate got amazing success with it.
I’m a bit older, grew up a hillbilly in the 1970’s, almost dirt poor. We grew our own food, raised livestock when we could afford it. Ate a lot of wild rabbit and squirrel. I know construction (all trades), auto mechanics, and electronics. Then moved to the city, still poor. Ran with poor whites, blacks and Mexicans. Learned the ways of the street. Joined the Marines...I’m educated, know how to lead. Not worried. Just hope I don’t have to use my old school skills.
I can relate I was raised on 180 Acre Farm and not with a other hundred eighty kiss and orphanage we worked at Farm I hope I never have to go back to it but if I had to I could.
My microphone is messing up it was supposed to said kid's I was raised in an orphanage
Helen Boula I miss it in many ways. Was tough, but simpler. I stayed in shape to be prepared for it, but age is catching up.
Had to double check the handle thought it was my posting at first. Till you got to the marines part. I still live the simple life in the country and use my hill billy skills everyday. And learning new ones. Kids are grown , debt free. Do what I want. Well, most of the time. Might go fishing today. Trout season just opened !
@@timothylongmore7325 keep it up brother! We may be called upon to help our family and community. You did right by teaching your kids about debt. I did the same. That will be especially important when dollar value plummets even more.
Baking powder is a natural way to stop bleeding and if you have iodine the two can make a scab to help it heal
Ground black pepper also coagulates bleeding
@@sandinewton1896 Good to know! Ground black pepper coagulates bleeding?
I have learned that honey is ...not a disinfectant, but if a wound is clean already it prevents infection from setting in to put on honey as if the honey were mercurochrome, through natural anti-bacterial properties that the bees use to protect their food supply from spoiling.
They make prescription salves out of honey to make use of this natura bacteriostatic l property of honey, but plain honey itself is actually as effective as the prescription honeybased salve for one tenth the price at the grocery store....
I am using it now on a nasty scrape to help keep it clean while it heals. (The only temptation is to dump a dollop of my medicinal honey into my coffee-- "No no no! Save the honey for its medicinal purpose, and take your coffee black!" I tell myself!)
Maggots are excellent to thoroughly clean wounds, and they're cheap.
I got 3-6 months worth of food for the humans and cats of my household. 120 liters of water in containers i rotate every 6 months, water purification tabs, bleach, a kids pool to catch rain water in the back yard, and life strew. Several Lysol wipes containers, several baby wipe containers, first aid kit, A 3 day emergency supplies kit with food, water, handcrack radio with a USB port to charge phones, medical supplies, shelter which you can just grab and go. A backpack for each of us with a full change of cloths, jacket, and sweater, shoes and 3 pairs of shocks and underwear. So if we had to leave are house in under 5 minutes we grab the backpacks and the 3 day emergency kit and first aid kit. I got allot more in the house not listed like self defense items, camping supplies, heating sources, light sources, I'm prepared to shelter in place for at least 3 to 6 months. As for bugging out I have quick access to 3 days of supplies. But bugging out seems pointless where will you go ? If you have no where to bug out too why leave all your supplies behind. Its better to stay in place and try to defend your home. Make friends with your neighbors if you have to shelter in place its better to do so as a group. Having several house holds coming together into one house hold or looking out for each other gives you far greater chances of survival than trying to bug out. When you bug out you leave your shelter behind. I live in Canada in BC yes the weather here can be tolerable for most of the year but it still gets very hot in the summer and very cold in the winter. Without shelter you won't survive.
Amen. Terrible times are coming this fall...very soon. America won't be recognizable by December. Glad you are prepared physically. I hope you are also prepared spiritually...if you dont know Jesus...please call on Him now. He is our only hope. ♡

At last some good advice,,, except 4 the 3 pair of "shocks" & the hand "crack" radio 😂👍 LOL,,, Just jerkn yet chain..
@@yotamwoldemichael443 Canada is in the same situation as we are here in the US. They have a left wing nut job pulling crap on them. Pretty much the same things that affect us affects them as well. They were even having riots last summer as we were. Hope that helps.
@@icecreamladydriver1606 Move to the United States then. Then tell me how you like living there? Come back and tell me how the US works for to your benefit? Oh by the way, the nutcase your talking about just got reelected again. As a matter of fact, most Canadians will take any one of the three major Canadian politic parties over a Trump party at anytime. You are so gas lighted.
In Missouri the winters are cold and long. We often had to be in for days. Jigsaw puzzles, cards, dominoes, color books. And one of my favs, Yahtzee.
Keep extra eye glasses and repair kit. A water filter! Razors. A blood clotting packs in emergency kit.
Raquel, good idea. If you are ever in a pinch and need something to stop the bleeding you can use cayenne pepper. Amazing.
@@icecreamladydriver1606 using cayenne isnt that painful? baby powder works too
1- prescription medication (1-2 months supply)
2- important family docs (passport, IDs, etc)
3- bleach, eye dropper

Thank you so much for the list
Title of video is "15" things. What did I miss?
Legend
Sewing, knitting, crocheting are learning helping things to do.
I actually did this for Y2K, a sensible kit with flashlights and extra batteries (like the Ten Prepared Maidens), sterno and matches, a camping mess kit, TP and PT's, first aid kit with aspirins and disinfectant, soap, some canned goods and granola bars, and some plastic table cloths that could double as tarps, plus a battery operated radio and extra batteries for that. My family laughed at me.
Time to change those batteries
I’ve been sarcastically asked,
What are you afraid of..Hee Hee… NOTHING, I’M PREPARED !
There were ten maidens, only five were prepared for the grooms arrival.....think about that folks
Meds are always a hard thing to prep as a disabled combat veteran. They refuse to give extra meds.
Seems like you need a pharmaceutical engineering person in your group??? One of skills never taught in military I believe..;)
This is true. You can only get a 90 day supply
If you can afford to do it and your doctor will agree to call in an extra set of prescriptions to places like Walmart or Kroger were you can use the GoodRX card pay cash and the 90 day limit does not apply because those are insurance limits only.
Just found out about The Jace case...go online. Got the tip from the Provident Prepper channel.

I back up all my pictures and important papers on thumb drives and put them in my safety deposit box. One in my fire proof safe. One on my key chain and in my bug out bag.
If you are going to collect $100 bills then everything you need to buy will cost at least $100....like $20.00 worth of gas....or a loaf of bread all $100.....You should only get $10.00 and $20.00 amounts to be able to buy what you need in amounts you can afford.
yes i agree thats what certain people should do . i usually always spend more than 100 at a time . 10 or 20 dollars does not go far as it is and making a deal with a 100 dollar bill might get one a better deal in the long run when buying by bulk .

Constitutional silver, it's real money. Those Benjamins will eventually become butt wipes...
If you have a $100, split to a twenty, five tens, five fives, four ones, three quarters, two dimes and a nickel. Multiply as needed. Smaller bills will be better, as you won't have to shell out a much larger bill if, for whatever reason, the seller won't or can't make change.
@@kukukev Butt wipes and paper to start a fire with.
My wife and I formed and staffed a disaster relief office for the Republic of the Marshall Islands. We interfaced with FEMA for a couple of years. We firmly believe that if you have a crisis and FEMA shows up you now have 2 major problems. We were told by one FEMA mgr that 2x4s measured 2"x4" further they laid out a stud wall with studs at 25" separation. Our experience is even more outlandish. Be very careful listening to FEMA.
FEMA is like WHO. Both full of💩💩💩👍
It's a concern in many corners, but I'd like to think that informing the public of steps to take to protect themselves - is the one thing they can get right. Mind you, this is information that's been developed over decades - since the old Civil Defence agencies having to counsel re fallout shelters - and can just be updated as needed. This is also information many other industrialized countries have shared from time to time.
That was my initial thought, if f-m- recommends it, go the other way
I appreciate you mentioning feminine care items cause a lot of these videos made by men don't mention it and it you have a mother/daughter/wife ect. it's an important thing to think about.
And, baby wipes for quick hygiene issues!
Tampons can be use to seal puncture wounds such as gunshots!

Rayne Shadow My mom told me that a nurse invented pad during WWI. She got the idea while rolling gauze for bandages. Also you can use pads for bleeding of wounds since they’re sterile.
back in the old days they used cotton material and washed it by hand . people are such fools these days they spend all that time for money just to spend the money foolishly .
I recently ordered dehydrated dog food from Amazon. Don’t know if my dogs will like it, but if they’re starving, I’m sure they won’t be complaining
Many blessings and much Aloha 🌴🤙🏽🌋

🤣
U might have to eat it yourself
If it is dehydrated raw it won't last very long.
that sentry lock box may be fire resistent, but it sure is NOT a security box. Stick a big screwdriver or prybar in the hinge and boom it is open
Video is great! Just wanted to add a few things 1) I have a small book version of the SAS Book. It has all of the context of the larger version. 2) A book by John "Lofty" Wiseman - SAS Urban Survival Handbook. He is the same author as the book you recommend. 3) Additionally I would add peanut butter.
Thank you for your videos! They are concise and informative and I fund things that I have forgotten to add to my Kit!!
If you are bugging out I'd suggest base layers and a change of. Much easier to wash/dry
I once had a first aid instructor recommend having more sanitary napkins than actually needed by the women. Pads of various thicknesses can double as a first aid item, being absorbent as it were. I also read somewhere that way back when napkins became a thing for women's hygience they actually were an evolution of military first aid items.
Thank you for reminding folks to prep for their furry family members. Remember to stock up on any medications they require also.
He listed 14 items. The 15th, seen on the close up shot of the FEMA list when he was talking about the water purification proceedure, is pencil and paper.
made it through the Texas power outages and all these things are super relevant. great video.
I was thinking about you guys. I live in the Northeast and have had a few times without power. The longest was 10 days and that is long enough. I get more prepped every time. Nowadays, I have a gas generator and another solar generator indoors and I have rechargeable touch lamps in every room of my house. I have a few low-watt heaters and an electric blanket that I can use if it happens in the winter. I only had 1 N100 mask and wasn't highly prepared for COVID but I got some Tommy Copper masks. I ended up loving Scott's toilet paper because 4 rolls = a month and that was easier to do the math. I bought a steamer and a UV lamp to disinfect and wasn't running around looking for disinfecting sprays or wipes. I ended up buying a gallon-sized hand sanitizer and that is lasting a whole pandemic. In the end, I feel like I made it through this year's power outage and COVID pretty well.
I was there too. Learned how unprepared I am
I printed those list out back in 2008, I'm surprised they have not updated them, I guess they review every year to make sure they're in order. I have a large family and buy in bulk and extra for the purpose of stock piling. A lot of my dried foods have been vacuum sealed, I also created a weeks worth of clothes for each family member in vaccum seal bags and have them in the car
Pharmacies and Medical Insurance companies allow only 30 days of medicine; some can be gotten for 90 days.
That became a big deal during COVID. I have a friend with Lupus and meds became scary.
Prior to the big disaster, scope out your local pharmacies'. If push comes to shove you might have to go in and get meds. Most people who loot are looking for the good stuff!
I appreciate your video very much! Hope you and your family are safe to the crisis.
I got the SAS book in my car, just in case I break down or get lost. I've gone though it several times and highly recommend it.
I know this is from FEMA but there is also iodine for purification of water. My mother in law grew up on a farm overseas with no electricity or running water. That’s what they used.
The US government is planning to create a food shortage in order to convince everyone to go the New World Order currency. Suggest that everyone store 2 months of canned food as a backup food supply.
What are the measurements
Louie Kidd - it’s for fire safety.
Iodine tablets is the way. Or bleach. During our cold weather training, iodine tablets was the rule. I did a 30 mile hike into the bush on a separate occasion, and we had iodine tablets and filters. We wanted to try our cool 007 filters, but quickly realized it was going to take days to filter the amount of water we carried and consumed on the ruck in. So the iodine tablets, teamed up with a t shirt to filter out large particles, as we drew our resupply from slimy stagnant water, gave us what we needed within a couple of hours and made it back.
I’m sort of interested in how much space this stuff takes up… bin sizes and such… and how you monitor and rotate semi perishable items like the water… medications… batteries… other items…
Wet baby wipes can substitute for bathing gear, after all they clean babies.
Keep batteries away from dampness it extends their storage life. I use a "cheap tool store" plastic ammo can to store them, because they seal water tight. I also toss in a little humidity and oxygen adsorbing pack to eliminate any damp or oxygen which causes corrosion. ;-)
A washcloth works well for bathing too.
I really enjoy your videos. I try to do what I learn from your videos. Thank you.
spare prescription eyeglasses.
Agree w/SAS & WE use USAF Book also! TY 4 Video ;)
Excellent video I find your videos very informative. Thank you.
Thank you for your great ideas👍🏻
All good information. 11 item, 15 items. There's a wealth of information that can be taylored to our specific needs.
Drug plans that we have won't let us have more than a 30 day's supply and can't get a refill more than 7 days in advance of the need. The only way we can stockpile a 2 month's supply is to cut back on the number of doses we are required to take. Worst case scenario is we would have at most a 7 day supply, best case 30 days.
Bleach expires. You want to keep cycling the bleach in and out of your kit. That's true with any items with a shelf life.
We experienced an episode in a small town where the ENTIRE town's data system went down. Couldn't buy anything unless we had cash. Even the bank's system was down so we couldn't even get cash from the ATMs. And there wasn't a disaster or power outage.
As you and FEMA suggest, we are accumulating non-perishable supplies before the need arises (for us, a 2-3 month supply should do). It's easier to buy supplies when the supply chain isn't stressed than when everyone is buying all that's available. This CO-19 event made it difficult to impossible to get some supplies due to hoarding.
Have a bucket and a clean, unused, preferably new toilet plunger to do laundry.
If you have an understanding doctor,he or she can "overprescribe' non narcotic medications and you have the understanding to take 1 instead of the 3 recommended as a daily dose on the label. Just a tip that I have found works.
Buy 7 days early every month. This gives you an extra month of medicine each 4 months, without ever having to short yourself on medication.
@@mamabear3901 Won't work with my plan. They keep track of how many pills I should have and when they should run out.
Great job Malcolm, this info will help and refresh our list of supplies, keep safe and healthy, God Bless you and your wonderful family , need to stay informed 🐱🐶🌼😎👵🏼🙏🌸🌴🌺
I recomend people actually read the books prior to needing them... a great book is, “Bushcraft: Outdoor Skills and Wilderness Survival” by Mors Kochanski
I'll check that one out.
Great old guy he was. I marked 1 of his vids for later reference to him .
I’m on it...been talking about it for a while! I just kept kicking the can down the sidewalk!
Thank you
Thank you sir
The problem with bleach that FEMA or anyone else doesn't seem to know is that bleach has a shelf life. I don't remember how long it is but not very long.
@Tee stew That sounds about right.
So maybe pressure can it.
Thank you. Tina
Cash is king until folks realize that the emergency is long term and that money is only green and black images of Dead Men on a piece of paper. In a long term scenario,spend that cash in the first 72 hours of the event.
And also stuff will have hyper inflated prices, it could take long or not too long until that happens but it would be a possibility, oh your girl needs tampons? Sure the box is $150, oh you want a bag of sugar? $300
Pre 1964 real silver US coins.
You go ahead and do that buddy.
Wonderful video..thank you!!!!

probably the same for dogs .
@Cassie Miller Done....long time ago. Same for my dog...only I make his wet food and freeze.
@Janet Burrus CORRECT. They can't fend for themselves like we can.
Yup...they will come handy when hunger strikes..
See if your insurance will cover a 60 or 90 day supply of most medications. Depending on your insurance plan, most do cover a 3 month supply.
Except pain pills and sleeping pills
Never seen ya before. Video was very good. I think I will subscribe to see where you take /us.
I have that safe!
Federal regs unfortunately will not let you stockpile meds. I'm on blood thinners for a artificial heart valve, can only get 30 at a time, and not allowed to refill early.
If your doctor agrees, ask him to double the strength ( milligrams) of your medication. Then use a pill cutter to take the right dosage. For example, if your prescription is for 25mg , that's what you'll get when you cut the 50mg pill in half. I doubt you can get a presciption for 6 months, but ask your doctor if you could have a 2 month prescription. It doesn't hurt to ask.
It is not federal regs that will not let you stock pile meds, it's your insurance company. Some insurance companies will pay for 30 days supply, some may pay for up to 90 days. If you are willing to pay cash and not go through your insurance, you can have as much as your physician is willing to prescribe.
This is exactly WHY I think that it may be a good idea, NOW, to start doing research on how to wean oneself OFF of any type of prescription medication, IF ABLE, and try to find a LOCALISED natural remedy or other such substitute!.... because, at the LAST minute, your doctor or government run health provider is going to look you in the eye, shake their heads and say: " 'SORRY!' (You just gone to hafta DIE, sir/ma'am!)"
Go buy low dose asprin from supermarket......lots of it

For cash, $1.00 bills & $5.00 bills are the Best.
I think I understand why, but just curious as to the reasoning. Thanks!
@@lavoyedhudgins5120 same reason they are good in the strip club
@@lavoyedhudgins5120 So you don't end up overpaying for a purchase , the seller may not have enough change. Also, $2 bills still exist.
@@stevepettersen3283 - The $2 bills still exist, but there are a lot of people that for some reason think that $2 bills are counterfeit, and for that reason won't accept them as legal currency..

Interesting How do you know?
Yes, you are so correct, "Cash IS King."
Another way of purifying water is through distillation!
SmellyCat maybe so, but you will have pure water when done! I have an electric distiller I use daily and a secondary unit I can use with any fuel source as a back up! If you are interested check out waterwise.com !
Fanny Adams yes, I know that method as well.
Not sure I’d stock pile $100 bills. If a gallon is $35, you may not get change. $20’s offer much more flexibility. Having served at Katrina/Rita and Witch Creek, and Dulzura fires, I believe you need a stash of $3k. Get out of town...300 miles (20 gals.),...pay for shelter at motel, food, water, gas, minor clothing. With no power, no gas pumps.
Although he showed $100 bills... he didn't say to keep $100 bills nor did FEMA. FEMA simply says to keep cash, checks and change... OP says to keep small bills.
my grandmother had the best advise , during a major problem in life, weather, floods, life in general, first DONT TRUST BANKS STUFF THE MATTRESS, STOCKPILE MONEY,CASH, IN THE LOCATION AND SLEEP ON IT. THE PERSON WITH MONEY IN HAND ALWAYS GET SOMETHING OTHERS ONLY DREAMED OF? second, medication stockpile for a raining day, painkillers, meds for yourself , first aid kit, gauges pads, medical items,
You're probabily the most realistic prepper on youtube. I really like your videos.
Never thought of guns as junk.
Yeah, maybe I would not have said junk, I do enjoy my guns. It just frustrates me when I see people start off by buying knives and machetes and guns first before focusing on more practical prepping items.
I do understand that. I would like to also say that your channel is amazing when it comes to prepping. Thanks for that.
Well, there are Ravens and High Points...

Landry pods are needed for washing clothes so a drying line too
Waterproof and strike anywhere matches are EXPENSIVE, if you can find them at all. I but strike on box matches, dip the strike tips in a thin layer of wax. Then I cut the strike strips from the box. Put the matches in an empty pill bottle or tin and hot glue the strike strips inside the lid. Its a good budget-friendly option that only takes a few minutes to prepare.
Damn dude your hair looks good....you should see mine....it's bad

Remember, if you don't have guns and ammo and the knowledge to use them, you're just collecting stuff for the guy who does.
And IF you have a gun.. be sure and buy a shovel as an accessory.
You would make a great neighbor 👍
Even if you have a gun its best to try and take someone out quietly instead of drawing attention to yourself. A good knife and training can kill someone just as fast as a gun and its silent.
@@MuffHam It's been to my experience that when the enemy sees the guy to his left on the assault line have his head blown off, quickly followed by the guy to his right, and the rest of the line after that.. 'morale suffers'. People are going to be defending their homes. Pretty sure they want the message sent loud and clear not to home invade 'THAT HOUSE'. If they are just quietly collecting bodies, they're not defending their homes, they're insane cannibals collecting lunch.

As far as books, one of the stories I read as a kid in the 1970's was in boy's life (boy scouts magazine). In the future, scientist have round a wormhole and a probe shows its a good place for a colony. The first ship sent through never responded back so another ship was sent. A stowaway got on board and was discovered just as they were prepping for the entry. For a time they kept him in lock down but finally had to take him out. Since he was something of a joker, he kept screwing things up, but not in anyway that would harm them. Then they found the first ship. It was all good, but things were off, as they tend to be, but looked like no one had fixed anything since the ship entered the wormhole. The captain decided that since he was such a problem, they would confine him to the other ship after getting it running and using remote they could keep it up for him. Several days later, they got a message that he was using the connection cable and coming into the second ship. Before they could stop him he was running around the ship knocking thing over and upsetting everyone. When the captain finally caught him as he got to the bridge, they asked him what he thought he was doing. Since he was bored, he had hacked the 1st ships logs and found out what happened. He then asked the navigator to check their position and they were badly off where they were suppose to be. He then demanded the captain check all stations and have them report their condition. What had happened both in the first ship and the second was everyone got so bored they stopped paying attention and it had cost the first crew their lives and almost cost the second one theirs. From then on, every ship that used wormholes had to have a joker on board.
Moral of the story, make sure you take time to relax and enjoy things, and even in a lock down you need something to keep you amuse, or you stop being alert. We need more lerts, esp. in a lock down.
I make sure that I have plenty of weed along with the prescriptions.
I always thought a portable raft in case of sudden flood. A whole camp set
is real good if you have to leave your home. Canned food that people like.
And those puzzle books and novels. Disposable cleaning cloths for cleaning.

Just so you know, the people that invest in gold and silver don't do it to barter with. They do it to hedge against inflation and to restart after an economic collapse. I personally am not one of that crowd. My hedge against inflation is purchasing now the things that will be either unattainable or unaffordable in the future. Money is just a medium of exchange, and it can quickly become worthless. Just ask the people of Iraq with Saddam Hussein's face printed on their worthless money. So for me I'd rather have the things that money can buy, and have them now. A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. Peace

100% agree 👍..
When I lived in Lima Peru, the US Embassy suggested one tablespoon of chlorine bleach to one gallon of water for disinfecting our food, anything that didn’t have a peel( Ex, bananas, oranges) , anything else should be soaked between 5-15 minutes depending on how much dirt/ contamination is on it , then rinsed thoroughly.
I should have included the word PRODUCE!!! Up above. Meats were cooked well done.
cool
Did I miss something or is there no mention of a fuel source for those matches? You can't light a fire with those matches if you have nothing to burn. Yeh, you can cut down the neighborhood trees but green wood (wood that hasn't dried out) doesn't burn well. Dried out wood has less smoke and burns hotter. And a full propane tank (on your BBQ) is a godsend.
FYI , they do not let you stock pile prescriptions, they go out only then the amount you have is low. It’s very difficult.
how will they ring you up, or look up prices if you have no power?
There is many 3d puzzles that would be good as hobbies to stop one from getting bored.
Depending on the medication (it cannot be done with all), if you skip one dose at regular intervals you will slowly build up an emergency reserve.

Coating your matches with clear nail polish will help with waterproofing them as well.
The entire match ?
Omg no don’t do that !! Use wax. The chemicals in clear nail polish can kill you ... it’s like burning paint. It’s really bad for you to breathe. If you or a family member are asthmatic you can trigger a attack.
Melt a candle and dip the matches.
Candle Wax Method. Grab an old candle or a few tea lights, light them, and then wait for a bit for a pool of wax to build up. Dip the head of your matches into the wax one at a time, rotating to get even coverage. Once you pull them out of the wax, let them dry for 20 seconds or so before setting them down.
No fire extinguisher? OSHA requires even small businesses to have fire extinguishers on premise with date documented periodic checks of the status of the fire extinguisher, like any visible leaks, or gradual loss of pressure which will occur over time even without use.
Meds, documents, bleach, emergency reference material, cash small bills, fire extinguisher, waterproof matches, book or games,
I don't believe that you can totally prepare for a disaster. That is why bad circumstances are called disasters. It is impossible to determine what will be needed, how bad it will be. Be creative. Keep calm. Be flexible.
I understand what you are saying but what I do know is that last year, I had the power go out and I had a generator big enough to run my heat and a/c and rechargeable lights and clean water and food that didn't require refrigeration or cooking. And COVID happened and I had an N100 mask before masks were common and I had month's worth of toilet paper and I literally didn't see even one pack in the stores for 3 months. I had bought a steamer for disinfecting and a UV lamp for disinfecting water and my cell phone. In the power outages that I went through, none of the gas stations or grocery stores could accept cc's, and the cash I had enabled me to keep my gas generator powering my house and after that storm, I added in a solar generator and what I will tell you is that I was just about totally prepared for those disasters. Other disasters, maybe not. But I was prepared for the typical disaster in my region, with cold, icy winters and frequent power outages. And for the pandemic. Both of those types of events, I skated through. My whole house is now decorated with rechargeable light sources. Flameless candles and touch lamps. I am probably over-prepared for some things like dry goods. I have friends who didn't have toilet paper for a month and they survived but my life was better for having prepared.
My poor generator isn't best. Good for low watts and volts. Now to find low watts and volts in a heater
@@wishingb5859 Good job of prepping!
Grocery stores without power we’re going to have a hard time getting things done no power no cash register and most people today rely on calculators and computers and can’t do math in their mind!
It's too bad most people don't carry the equivalent of a super computer in their pocket... oh, wait
JCS without power that thing in your pocket won’t last long! No power no recharging!
Most retailers(around here, anyway) have their registers backed up by a short-term UPS that gives about 72 hours of operations time in the event of a power outage. I expect this is a standard practice for major retail chains across the continent. The lack of network, not the lack of electricity, prevents debit/credit transactions from occurring(at least normally).
My pharmacy refuses to fill extra months. I don't have thyroid and they still don't even if I pay out if pocket.
Lilly, you have to ask your doctor to write the prescription so you can get two or three months worth. Then your pharmacy will fill it. If they don't, go to another pharmacy!
True... you can get 3 months of some meds but not anything like sleeping pills or pain pills
Judith K Stephens I don't know about that. I do know about other meds.
Time to switch.
Order it from Good RX.com
It’s the muppet man!
I wouldn't have thought that life saving drugs would be on the 2nd list.
@@MrJonrocker If you go to a non VA doctor,he may give you a 'scrip for the same meds.Fill it at Walgreens instead of the O P Pharmacy in the V A and you are good to go. Of course,it won't be 8 bucks a pop like the V A but it can be done.
I skip my dose on each Sunday. Over time, I have saved a full 30 days. I’m careful to replace the “savings” with my new RX each month and use up the saved so it’s always current.
99zanne Good idea
i just thought wat about dripping wax on matches ?
You can have the best items prepped and no guns or knives or junk as you said and I'll come along with my rifle and take your stuff. YOU NEED TO PROTECT YOURSELF AND POSESSIONS. Panic and looting will run rampant when shtf.
T-ski... my thoughts exactly! If i decide to 'prep' - it is for ME & MINE! When a gov't agency says to stockpile,.... OK, i'll stockpile,..... but NOT keep it where YOU expect - because in times of SHTF,... the GOV'T TROOPS have the right to come into our homes,.... and WE are expected to accommodate them, resupply if necessary, and give them shelter. IF they decide to take all that I have when they leave,.... the GOV"T likely will NOT compensate me for my losses! SO,..... I'll accommodate,...... but my MAIN STASH will NOT be accessible to them! AND,..... if - let's say MARAUDERS are casing my place - they will assume that since the GOV"T was parked there,.... that I have plenty to share - when the GOV"T leaves! Oh what a surprise they'll get!!!
