    On "food" at 3:50 - 1) put a manual can opener with the stash 2) definitely buy at least three MRE's, and open up one and eat it so you'll understand it and get familiar with it - it's likely the sort of food FEMA and Military will be bringing to you in the first week or month 3) if you get Mountain House of other dehydrated food then check the water requirements to make it and add that amount to your water stockpile

    This is what I'm writing my master's thesis on right now. Grass roots preparedness can have a drastic impact on what the local, county, and state agencies can do after a disaster. Without having to provide food and shelter for evacuees immediately after a disaster they can focus on situations of a more immediate concern. It would also save these agencies huge amounts of money on the tight budgets that they have to work with.

  • @bledsoetx
    @bledsoetx Před 7 lety +17

    A note on Ramen noodles . . . .
    A friend and I actually experimented with living on nothing but Ramen noodles for extended periods of time. There were no hunger problems, and most of the noodles were eaten raw without seasoning to further simulate "bad times" situations. There WERE "health" problems. . . . Ramen noodles contain an incredible amount of sodium and after a couple of weeks of this Ramen only diet, this resulted in water retention, "swelling" almost like gout, and elevated blood pressure.
    Keep this in mind as you buy those flats of Ramen noodles.
    As for the plastic sheeting . . .
    You are in error about the use of plastic and duct tape for nuclear fallout. It takes 3 feet of dirt to protect you from radiation and fallout . . . do you really think a few mils of plastic will do anything?
    The FEMA list is false security . . . just like all the TSA "agents" at the airport.

    • @Adventane
      @Adventane Před 6 lety +4

      The purpose of the sheeting is to seal up your home, minimizing the spread of contamination (radioactive dust,) into your living spaces. If it's in your home, chances are it'll get into your body, and then the health effects are much more severe.

    • @bigj5729
      @bigj5729 Před 6 lety +2

      Denim like jeans are recommended. They stop 99.9% of the radiation therefore keep those old jeans that dont fit or are disgusting. Line a small room like a closet or other small room( I used basement spare bathroom) on the lowest level of your house and when fall out happends, go to that room. Like I said I use my spare bathroom in my basement. Thats where all of my supplies are kept and that the "fallout room"

    • @karinhart489

    @macwhirterj Před 6 lety +7

    I would add a detailed, local map, maybe a Backroads Map Book. No guarantee you'll be in a vehicle when you bug out, so you won't be making it long distances necessarily. In that situation you'll want details of the local walking trails and back roads.

    • @bcase5328
      @bcase5328 Před 3 lety

      Another sometimes overlooked detail, practice using each and every thing/skill before you have need of it. Find the gaps, in items, amounts, knowledge, practiced skills and organized communicated planning. Does everyone know their part and how to work together with others?

  • @RobinP556
    @RobinP556 Před 8 lety +3

    Flashlight wise I'd suggest saving some space, assuming that you're not at home such as a car kit where space is at a premium, a headlamp. They're available from Cabela's and a number of other places, use LCDs for light so the batteries last forever, and they use AAAs, so you can pack an extra set while using up minimal space. Just a thought for the car or get home bag that everyone should have and it should be maintained in the car.

  • @daveperala4723
    @daveperala4723 Před 5 lety +14

    Overall a good presentation. Missed a few key items however.
    Food. OK, you have enough canned goods to last you and yours a week or longer. You even remembered to get a can opener. You would be surprised by how many don't.
    Now, how are you going to cook it?
    The beanie weenies and pork and beans you can eat right out of the can, other items, not such a good idea. Juniors pasta and meatball A-roni needs to be heated you know.
    The Ramen noodles can be soaked in room temp water, but sometimes you need a hot meal.
    Splurged on that 20 pound bag of Navy beans? Going to need water and HOURS to soak them before you cook them. Otherwise you will be biting into a pebble.
    Invest in a simple camp stove that takes propane bottles. If you have a propane BBQ, you can get an adapter to connect your BBQ bottle to the camp stove.
    Items needing dairy to prepare, milk, butter and such. Forget them. Leave them on the shelf. Water only items because your milk and such will go bad after two or three days.
    Wet wipes, great idea, really.
    If the power goes out and the water pressure follows it, forget jumping in the shower. Use the baby wipes for the essentials, face, pits, privates, and piddies[feet]. Keep those parts clean and you will not only feel better, but the risk of getting sick drops greatly. If you intend on taking a bucket bath, do not use straight rainwater or roof run off. Filter the water to avoid any contaminants. Bad water getting into a cut or scratch can cause infection. "But I used soap to kill bacteria", sure did, then you rinsed with the bad water didn't you.
    Toilet paper. Figure a roll per person for five days. Might seem like a lot, but if someone gets the runs, it may not be enough. Hand the wife the Walmart flyer you're likely to get smacked with it, hopefully before it's used. Bury the waste far enough from home that it won't' leak back into your area. A simple hand shovel will allow them to dig deep enough, but a post hole digger works even better. Less to shovel back on top. Let your neighbor across the street that ran wonder why his roses and grass came back so fast.
    Feminine hygiene products. Best to have and not need, than tell momma and the baby girl you don't have any. Now I'm no expert on the subject, but I have heard that stress can trigger that time of the month, early. Guys, do you want to be the one they blame for it NOT being there? No need to add that to the ever growing list of "Your Fault".
    Pets. Fluffy and Da Hound gotta eat too ya know. Dried will do just fine, even the pickiest will eat it if they get hungry enough.
    Flashlights. Gotta have them. Lantern, nice but there are ways to light up a room without one. Tape a flashlight to a full gallon jug of water, light beam pointing into the jug, and turn it on. The water will diffuse the light beam enough to give you a weak lantern.
    Power generator. Great idea, if you want everybody to know about it.
    First aid kit. Get one. Learn what's in it and how to use it. Take a Red Cross course. Nobody will expect you to know how to do open heart surgery, but being able to wrap a sprain or immobilize a break will come in handy. Not to mention how to dress a cut or burn. Should you have a cut bad enough to need stitches, there are certain band aids for that. Or, if your bad ass enough, non waxed dental floss and a curved needle.
    Sun Glasses. Sound silly, but you will need them.
    Entertainment. If you got kids, get an UNO deck. Keeps them occupied for a while.

    Completely sealing a room could cause asphyxiation if the air supply is not refreshed from time. The more people in the room, the more quickly the air requires refreshing. I thought I'd mention it 'cause I'm pretty sure your readers don't want to wakeup dead.

    the government only wants people to be prepared for 48 to 72 hours maximum, you should be prepared for a year or two, and be self sufficient, without the need of government help, but the government doesn't like that and for them it is illegal to capture water, have your own food supply by having chickens etc. the only way you break the cycle is to have enough knowledge and be prepared for at least 3 years of supply and have enough security accessories such as guns and rifles to defend what you have.

    EMT here: Those masks only provide really basic protection against biohazardous stuff since it's only meant to protect you from dust. For protection against some viruses you'll need FFP2 or FFP3 masks since those viruses are quite small and they will pass other masks without any trouble. That's why they're called dustmasks. Oh and btw awesome videos keep going!

    I am surprised you mentioned a manual can opener. I have been through several hurricanes, tornadoes, and even a few earthquakes and you would be surprised by how many people DON'T have a can opener. It doesn't have to be a large one, like you used as an example, it can be as small as a P-51 "John Wayne" on your key ring.
    Another reason for turning off the gas is due to the fact that there might be a break in the line upstream of you. If that happens then your gas will be shut off or interrupted. Not a major deal to most I understand, but if that does occur then your pilot lights on your heater and stove will go out until service is restored. If you haven't turned it off before then, then you will have gas flowing into your home when it is turned back on. If this happens and it goes on for a while, it will not only displace the oxygen in your home, but if someone strikes a match then you have the risk of an explosion.
    One thing you didn't mention that needs to be addressed, turn off the power at your main circuit breaker too. If your power goes out during a flood, then water will get into your outlets. If your power goes comes on before you have completely dried everything out, you risk a short and possibly a fire. Remember, electricity and water don't mix. Kind of like a Packer Backer and a Bears fan.
    Hope for the best yet plan for the worst. Better to have and NOT need, than NEED and not have.
    One other thing. If you have children, pack some coloring books, board games, and reading material for them to entertain themselves with. In this age of video games and computer simulations, they will get bored fast without them. Might want to consider doing the same thing for yourself and 'Da Wife/Hubby". A bored and cranky kid is bad enough, but toss in a bored and cranky spouse? It won't be pretty man. Also, get ready for the never ending no matter how many times you answer it question, "When will the power/internet/TV be back on?".
    Best of luck and we'll see you on the other side.

Also, always have your car at least 1/2 full of gas and designate a meet up point with your family/friends for every city around you. cheers!

      I've been through CERT training as well as taken ICS-300 and COML as a volunteer ham radio operator during emergencies. Lots of great training, and our ARES (Amateur Radio Emergency Services) group does a lot of training on our own. The one issue that I have seen is that a lot of people want to be part of an ARES group, but so many of them, even though they may be willing to work events, many of them don't have the gear. And it's not difficult. Start with an HT (Handy Talkie, ham radio talk for a walkie talkie) which a few years ago was a several hundred dollar purchase can now be had the cheap way, a Baofung (I probably spelled the incorrectly). Yeah, it's made in China, but unlike my Icom it costs about $25 on Amazon, charger and all. It lacks a bit of the capability, but works surprisingly well. I have a complete go kit, HF, VHF, UHF, small generator, battery; in other words I can be completely self-sufficient for a week without a glitch.

      Getting doesn't have to bankrupt you, that's true. Start with an inexpensive HT. Make sure, thought that it's a good one. Most are, but the stinker does slip through and can be frustrating. A newbie should have an elmer check it out once they get it. I got a Baofeng UV-5R and it seemed to work, but no range. Finally put it on a watt meter and found out it worked, but my kids' FRS had more power.

    • @RobinP556
      @RobinP556 Před 8 lety

      +jmtnvalley Somethings wrong with your UV-5R. We use them a lot, and our ARES group teaches a Tech licensing class every year with most of the students getting a UV-5R. I have 2 of them, 1 in each 72 hour bag in my vehicles, and have had no issues with range. I live about 10miles as the crow flies from the next counties repeater and hit it without any issues. It's far enough away that I don't always have full quieting, but range wise I've found no difference between the UV-5R and my Icom 91A HT. You might want to send it back if you haven't had it too long.

    • @jmtnvalley
      @jmtnvalley Před 8 lety

      Robin Patty
      I agree. I've used other UV-5Rs and they worked well. Just mine. I have the yellow one, and after getting I've read a lot of complaints about the non-black versions. Quality control at Baofeng is not nearly as good as say Yaesu or Kenwood, but the UV-5R is now available for $25 at Amazon. And I have had it too long.

    I recommend BLF D80 flashlights for prepping. Rechargeable 18650 batteries are not too hard to come by. You can rip off 4 out of 6 batteries on average from a broken laptop battery. They're all rechargeable, and on the middle brightness setting the light lasts about 4-8 hours at a time. Imagine that with 4 or more batteries. It throws light for about 150 meters distance or more, in the dark. Furthermore it's at an IPX8 level of waterproofing for 2meters.
    I always carry my light with me, and it is so damn useful. I live in the Philippines and huge storms are rampant here. Personally, I have 2 batteries in my bag at all times, one spare in my pocket, and one in each of my lights. In my apartment, I have 4 spare batteries, and in my home I also have 2 spare batteries. All for under $100.

      I can't store my local water. It has a very bad record of monthly alerts to boil or not use due to higher than safe levels of bacteria and cleansing chemicals. We had a heavy metals warning last year. My local water sucks. Buying a filter would cost a lot more than a few gallons of water. If you're prepping short term, you prioritize. Buying water is an okay way to start until you can get funds or supplies together for a quality filter system.

    Let me tell you when you're in a rush to get the heck out of Dodge the last thing you want to do is grab yourself a whole bunch of cans. They're bulky and heavy. Stick to very small bags of rice. Rice that's in a one pound bag or less or make you by getting a machine that sucks out the air and the special bags that come with it and measure half a cup of rice per bag and seal it shut super light super easy doesn't take a lot of room and you can bunk up with it. Ad as well dry beans very light especially if you measure and make your own sealed bags. Use powdered milk and use powdered butter and powdered seasonings and spices to give flavoring to your foods rice and beans is known as a Powerhouse you can thank me later

    I would not rely on that crank and useless tiny solar panel to power any external devices. A portable solar panel like an Anker 21 watt is much better. It can charge 2 devices at once. It costs around $50. Solar technology keeps getting less expensive and more efficient. So in the near future there will be better and cheaper versions available.

    A couple notes. For food you didn't mention food bars. I love The datrex bars, they have a very good taste and one can get bars that have 2400 calories. For flashlights you didn't mention headlamps; these are nice for hands free lighting. I'm surprised they didn't include shelter.

  • @RickJaeger
    @RickJaeger Před 4 lety

    Two notes on the particulate masks, for any of those who might not be already aware:
    1) if you have a beard, mustache, or even thick stubble -- any facial hair like I do or the guy in the video have -- that will reduce the effectiveness tremendously, as the air will come in through the space between the facial hair and your mask;
    2) particulate or carpenters masks will NOT filter out airborne microbes in the case of an epidemic. They'll probably stop macroparticles like sneeze droplets, so they're better than nothing for sure, but they're not like surgical masks, which _will_ filter germs effectively. And neither of those masks are up to snuff compared to high grade gas masks, but those are pretty heavy to trudge around, so I'll probably never get one, or I'll get _only_ one to keep at home.

  • @ralphrepo
    @ralphrepo Před 5 lety

    Just one correction to your otherwise excellent presentation; MRE's have roughly 1200 to 1300 calories per pack. (daily requirement is roughly 2000 to 3000). 'First Strike MRE's' have about 2800 calories. Your cost of water estimate is great for normal times, when water supplies are plentiful. But cost of commodities would likely rise exponentially once they become scare. I would suggest getting a bath tub bladder or water bob that can easily hold 80 to 100 gallons for about 30 bucks. That is, it's even cheaper than buying water. Cheers!

      In general it is highly recommended you don't try to recycle daily containers... though with boiling and bleaching perhaps maybe could possibly be safe... but I am not gonna risk dysentery for me or mine. The average cost of water in my area is a dollar a gallon whether by five gallon jugs, gallon jugs or bottled by the case. Just saying...

    • @jmtnvalley
      @jmtnvalley Před 8 lety +1

      Soda and juice bottles, well cleaned, are OK. Many sites recommend not to use milk jugs because of the possibility of not getting them completely clean. Currently I use commercial 6 gallon water jugs. Clean them well and use tap water. You can add water preserver. Getting water from stores is not a bad idea for single container storage. Generally good shelf life and a handy portable container. As for food, just maintain a good pantry of your normal packaged foods. Don't get stuff you don't usually eat. I never understand people who don't have at least 3 days of food in their cupboards.

    First of all, despite the good efforts by the people at FEMA and the Red Cross, they're guides are good, but lack the benefit of enough research or input by experienced people. A list is okay if includes everything one might need and there needs to be an explanation of the pros and cons and uses for those items.
    I tell people they need to plan for at least 1-2 weeks. I happen to live in Orlando in an area that has been barely affected by all the storms and hurricanes to this day, but we often loose power even when it's not hurricane season. In other places people have gone over a month without power.
    I disagree with the notion that Obama wanted us to be preppers since he was in office during Katrina when many claimed that their guns were confiscated and people who prepared were labelled as hoarders or basically summed up to be possible terrorists. Remember the snitch hotline? Where was Obama then? Why didn't he go on TV and warn people not to be overly paranoid and suspicious? Why didn't he differentiate between terrorists activities and citizens practicing emergency preparedness. That resulted in resentment from preppers. Sorry, but he doesn't care nor does he deserve to be credited with supporting or furthering the prepper movement.
