I could totally do it! I live on the east coast of Canada and when hurricane Arthur hit I had no power or running water for 10 days. My husband who never grew up in the country though I was crazy for filling up buckets of water so I could flush our toilet. I used the rain gutters to fill them up. Luckily this was in the summer so we didn't have to worry about no heat. By day two I was gathering water from a stream down the street. I had a full propane tank for the BBQ. FYI pizza tastes delicious on the BBQ and cooks in about 5 minutes. It was honestly the best power outage I ever experienced. I got to connect more with my kids, we played outside more, went for walks in the woods. It brought me back to my childhood of growing up in Northern Canada camping at my grandma's cabin. No power, no running water, just a cozy cabin in the woods! I cherish it. Nature is beautiful and so healing for the soul!
awesome

Yeah I did it. No power for 2 weeks after a hurricane. No job for 2 wks. Bought a bike to ride around on. Used candles at night. Ate cold ravioli out of a can. Honestly it was the best 2 weeks of my life. Peaceful and relaxing.
Great video. The more people get prepped the better. You rock!
I watch your archery videos! I've learned a lot:).
Hey thanks much Lilly! Means a lot :) Take care
you are always on the channels I watch...it's so fun to watch people with growing dogs. Hear their commands. I thought I'd teach my puppy (18 months, rescue) German commands. Long time I only talked to him in commands, in German. He frustrated me one day, and I spoke very firmly to him in English.
Well, who knew? He knows English not German. LOL! We have a great relationship now.
@@FlyingAxblade_D20 Haha, great comment. Helped you brush up on your German though! 🤣🤣❤️
@@MickDickerson my German needs a comb with two sides =)
going off the ten words my brother taught me when he was in high school and I was in 5th grade /// he laughs when I say things to my dog. Then he tells me, "it's not like books". He's a good sport.
Thank you Brooke. It doesn’t have to be a world event. You’ve reminded me of our 7 day powerless winter storm years ago. I’ve always appreciated your mindfulness.❤️

Totally!
I was pocket texting. I was listening while at work and sent a nothing message. Sorry!🤭great information though. Unfortunately I will be doomed. $200.00 a week is difficult to pay bills and food for me and my pet's. Let alone buy supplies.😔
@@susanmatako8469 oopsy ( on the pocket texting )
@@susanmatako8469 .....
I know....I'm on disability and 1000.oo month is hard and I don't have a pet ,kids at home , nor a vehicle, but I've done about 3 to 6 months on food, need to do water, and have some canned meats, ham, chicken, tuna, and spam.
One of my favorite books, “One Second After”, read it three times. I have given this book to so many people! I totally recommend!
Such an eye opener. Everyone should read it. Schools should make it REQUIRED reading.
Agree. I could not put it down. Excellent ideas an thing you may not thought of.
awesome
Lame. Both books in the series are lame.
I also like Alas, Babylon from 1959.
Yes I could live without electricity for 2 weeks. I spent a lot of my childhood up until was about 18 at my grandparents house up on a big mountain in Tennessee with no electricity no indoor plumbing so I learned how to live off the land. We were without power here in Ohio when we had those hurricane winds a few years back.People were going nuts at the grocery stores. So glad for gas stoves and grills and we have camping stoves. We've done a lot of deer hunting and camping through the years. I love living like that.
I remember those high winds. I live in Louisville Kentucky so we got Em too. but I was very lucky my electric stayed on but all around us didn’t.
Thank you for yet another great video Brooke!! Stay safe and enjoy!! Windsor, Ontario Canada
I’m an over the road trucker. Been using the bucket in my truck for over 25 years. Truckstop bathrooms are nasty. Use scented trash bags
I know someone who buys antibiotics from a pharmacy in India. I've been told having Ivermectin and Azithromycin is a good thing to have on hand.
Yep ,better get the other two- 5 gallon bottles filled up tonight. After this video. I've made it 10 days without power after 2 different hurricanes it's hard. But I'm glad I left Warren, Mi. 25 yrs ago for sw Florida. Keep up the good work. And love your pups. Gonna get those books. Better to be prepared not scared. Thank you for such good advice.
take care!
I grew up on in the hills of West Virginia in the 70s. We didn't have power or running water. We raised our food, vegetables chickens and hogs. We hunted squirrel and rabbit. Fished the river at the end of the road. We picked berries along the creek Bank. The creek right across the road had a waterfall we used as a shower. Took care of an orchard with apples and pears. We more than survived, we thrived because we worked for it. Best of times.

For your daughter, I recommend chewing raw garlic instead of regular use of antibiotics. The moment she feels an inkling of sickness creeping in, chew raw garlic. It will burn the tongue in the same places a doctor would visibly see infection. Nature provides everything we need. More people should become their own doctors. Food is medicine.
👍🏼💜✌🏼
I used to get strep too. Had my tonsils out at age 18. Helped a lot.
Yes, raw garlic - grow it in with your flowers, even. Also, plantago (plantain herb) is great for venomous bites, any inflammation, wounds, digestion. Raw ACV as a daily dose helps avoid/stop illness and also aids to reduce or eliminate pain. It’s much cheaper to learn about even a few herbs and wild plants for medicine. Brooke, please learn about this option. You will be so glad and amazed at what is on the earth to help us. And no supply chain issues. Love your videos!!
Are you joking ? SEE A DOCTOR
@@katevalentine7075 when their is none?
I was typing a group could get together to buy a freeze dryer seconds before you said it. To expand on the idea, there are other ways people can do things as a group. Pooling resources and skills can be just the thing for those who can't do everything they need to do in case of an emergency.
The only thing to be extremely careful about is who to trust. In a serious situation, or even if someone panics when it's not so bad, their true character may be surprising. It might be your own family or a lifelong friend who turns to untrustworthy. Always take care and have a 'what if' backup plan. It's not wise to let everyone know everything you have and where you keep it.
I'm a what if girl. I've always been a prepper since the kind of jobs I had working outdoors I had to be prepared for anything. It was on a smaller scale and when I go grocery shopping I would always buy more than I needed on canned goods. Since the pandemic I've gone bigger and feel pretty good about the what ifs now. I have solar power generators, radios and charging banks. My husband thinks I'm nuts but look where we are so I win, I'm not nuts!
@@thiamata5346 The pandemic made it imperative because it was easy to see what was coming down the road. You're definitely not nuts. I'd rather have something and not need it, than need and not have it.
It can be hard to get through to people though. I tried telling some, who live in apartments, to get as many hand cranked items as possible for charging cell phones, emergency radio, flashlights etc.
Back-up your back-up plans. Get disposable shop towels to replace paper towels whenever possible because they're tougher and can be reused few times instead of a hand towel if washing clothes is not an option. Keep on hand soap that can be used for everything from you hair to the dishes. Ladies, if you have to buy the cheaper feminine products (yeah I know they can be lousy, I hate them too) to afford extra, do it. Look into the reusable methods. Sudden shortages on critical things can be a mess in more than one. Vinegar..so many uses. All kinds of tips and ways are out there to get through a shortage, but for too many it's not important...until is.
@@aevalk8369 totally agree with you. I've stocked up on prescriptions and OTC medications. I go to drug stores to pick up 3 of this and 3 of that but I go to several drug stores just to stock up on same stuff that they have rations on. You just never know and people need to get their mind into the what if thinking and start to prep. I've learned to freeze dry food, canning, freezing. Gotta do it.
Good advice
@@thiamata5346 I totally understand living and working outdoors and some of the most hostile and dangerous environments it's a great learning experience that you keep for the rest of your life! My 20-year paramedic 17 years Air Force pararescue been deployed Afghanistan Iraq by rain Iceland England Alaska California Texas Florida the Sudan so I understand the advantages of what can and cannot be done and the lessons you learn and it's always great to be prepared and have the mindset of worst-case scenarios we always planned our own missions from Socom gave us the word it was us and Mia's team leader to execute the plans and make the plans what equipment how to get there safely how to extract wounded soldiers keep them alive destroy enemy targets and get them back safely!
Yes, I have before when I was younger! We lived in the middle of nowhere in southern Michigan. We had plenty of food, from canning, a giant fire place to cook on, and lots of activities to keep us busy. I could still do it now too!
After a few months in my parents' basement, I took an apartment near the state university, where I discovered both crystal methamphetamine and conceptual art. Either one of these things are dangerous, but in combination they have the potential to destroy entire civilizations.
I've been living off grid for a little over a month now. I have a duel fuel generator and a small solar power generator I have only been able to use the generator a few hrs at a time throughout the day to keep the fridge cool. I must say I have been able to get a lot more done without the distractions of TV and internet.. I've already started to germinate some seeds in the house to get ready for our planting season starts.. Love the video and thanks for the info on the books!! And another good book is "The Forgotten Ways"! Lots of GREAT IDEAS that our forefathers did on a daily basis and crossing the country to expand our GREAT NATION!!
Hey Big Pappa, good on ya'! I am hoping to do this soon as well. Who knew it was so hard to find good land?
@@Laura-lr3sz I am lucky enough to have 1500 acres of land that has only one way in and out off a old gravel road in southwest Tn. It's full of game and 1 mile of river frontage on side of the property. And have all the heavy equipment from dozer, backhoe and tractors. We keep 8 horses and have cattle, goat's, rabbits and chickens. Our own sawmill and over 1000 acres of old growth hardwood that we have harvested just what we needed to build 3 cabins. The rd is easily able to disappear with dropping trees and using the dozer to remove any signs of a gravel rd. Have a community of like minded people who have helped bury deals and vented shipping containers in hillsides for root cellars and one 20 person bunker. I'm a Paramedic and have been for 20 years including my time in the Air Force when I went through Superman school and became a P.J. (Para-Rescue) special Forces unit. Also have a Dr. And computer hacker and communication skills. We are a multitude of diverse skills.
awesome good for u! Thanks much :)
@@bigpappa642 Wow, "lucky" is an understatement!!!
@@Laura-lr3sz yeah I'm lucky to have had such a life that's gotten me this far in my life.
We have survived many times weeks after hurricanes in Florida in heat and humidity that 99% of Americans would wilt under. It is never easy but we prepare every time.
Many Amish communities live fine without public electricity and or electricity.
I read all 3 of the John Matherson novels and found them to be quite thought provoking. Your tips to survive an extended power outage are great.
thanks!
I also read the trilogy of these books and they are LIFE CHANGING...and I don't just mean "really good book" I mean they actually change the way you think and look at the world, or even just your daily life choices. I think the depiction of this kind of event is so accurate...and of course we have to remember that the town the book is set in is actually very well organized so their situation is BETTER than most of the country.... the thing that really stuck with me from One Second After is what happens with the nursing homes. It's just not something most of us think about sadly
I'll have to watch later Brooke. Thanks for the video... 👍🏼✝️🇺🇲
We survived two weeks living on a generator during and after Hurricane Sandy back in 2012. We moved to South Florida two years later where Hurricanes are prevalent from June 1st through November. Preparedness begins during that time, I'm so ready for whatever mother nature brings us.
I’ve been working on this for the last couple months and I can say that I can survive for two weeks right now. Thanks for putting this video out…I will be sharing it with others.
awesome!
It stinks, but between hurricanes and winter storms, I've had to last 8-9days at a time, usually a few times annually. You learn to adapt and each storm prepares you with lessons to be ready for the next event 👊
We are in pretty good shape, my hubby is a man of many talents. Plenty of food. It’s a great vid for everyone Brooke, great job!
The cat was looking out the window thinking" it is cold out there, she must be crazy",
Having been Old Order Amish, I am very happy without electricity or modern anything! Not a problem here🤩
I so admire the old ways of the Amish. They will be in good shape if stores and supplies run thin. They are so knowledgeable and could teach us all a lesson or too. They are set!
Recently subscribed to your channel. Excellent!
ONE SECOND AFTER left me with a Horrifying reality that I wasn’t Prepared. That was when the book came out 2009.
It emboldened me to get Prepped.
So pleased I live off grid ❤
'Do you have a place to go to the bathroom?', points camera at moose, moose "whatttt" haha. So cute!
This is an incredibly great video!
I lost power at my house in 2006 for 16 days. We had a hurricane come thru in Pennsylvania, and that's not a common occurrence, and the whole town i lived in was out of power for that whole time, neighboring towns were out too. My mom went and stayed with my aunt a few hours away but I stayed home with my boyfriend. We put all the food we had in coolers, and that only lasted a few days. After that we ate canned food and pantry food and used a small camp stove with a 1 pound propane tank. We used lanterns and candles at night, and thankfully it was in June so it wasn't too awful an we didn't need heat or air, thank god. I was 20 at the time so it was fun to us. We peed and used the bathroom in a bucket in the field behind our house. Did not have sawdust so we had to bury it after we were done unfortunately! but we thought it was an adventure and actually enjoyed it.
good experience!! and memories too
Hi Brooke that emergency antibiotic supply idea is fantastic thank you for the information. Good to see you take care.
My husband and I read the first book years ago. Changed our whole life.
Brooke, my Mom passed away 20years ago, but I felt like I was watching her. She didn't know about the internet. Thanks for picking up her slack.
Hey Brooke, this may seem like a minor thing, but planning for entertainment should be on the list. Board games, books, craft projects, etc. So much of my entertainment (including my books) are electronic. I seem to remember on Alone, you and Dave made a game board.
absolutely!
I was just reading about how it’s worth having an instrument and songs to sing because it helps keep up morale. It’s definitely a good idea to have dice, a drum, a flute, etc. or to make them once water, shelter, food and fire are obtained
You is awesome girl! Thanks for shining your light bright and waking us all up in such a good way. Lots of excellent tips....and what an excellent teacher you are while keeping things fun and interesting. Thanks so much! Shine on!
I would suggest putting some mouse traps in your food storage area. I left my small cabin one year with seeds and the mice came in and took over while enjoying my seeds. Love the buckets with sealed screwed lids. Thanks
That is an excellent book - it's a 3 book series and they are all a must read.
Great information, Brooke. Don't forget to have a good can opener and some extra cash on hand, too. Thanks for sharing:)
great idea
Gosh I love your channel. Thank you. When my kids were little I started something called "Eco Wednesday" when we'd have to use no electricity in our apartment for the day (including not getting food out of the fridge). It was fun! We'd go outside and cook food on a little backpacking Coleman, or use the little wood source "stove" . The kids developed their own points system if they turned on a light out of habit etc. We did use the toilet though! It was challenging and interesting to see just how dependant we are on our grid living in the city.
how cool!
Thank you Brooke, so good to see you.
Thanks for the information and thanks for being you.
I read the book One Second After and cried through most of it. It was definitely an eye opener. Things you DON'T think about.....
Thank you Brooke. It makes preparing feel more accessible for those of us that live in a city and may not have many/any “off grid” moments to learn these sort of invaluable lessons. You are a great teacher and listening to you feels like I am with my very coolest friend. You ROCK!!!
appreciate it
Thanks for getting the word out. I went in with my friend to purchase a freeze dryer & we love it. It's such a additional tool for persevering our different harvests. I just did buttermilk 1 gallon did 4 trays in the medium FD. I've be storing up most of what we'll need for 2yrs, I'm so glad I have this put away, it came in handy in 2020 when we had to lockdown for 3 weeks. God bless you for warning people it's so important that people are ready. 💞🙏👼
EVERYONE should be getting ready for a power grid shut down. Good points and thanks for sharing !
Awesome video, thank you! We all need to realize this is getting to be a real need & not a "crazy prepper out in the woods" mentality. The world is showing us our future, best be getting ready for it. Thanks Brooke for your great advice as always!
Sad but true….
Don't forget to stock up on beer!
You are so knowledgeable and I just love that you share it with us. This was a lot of good info. Thank you.
Great video Brooke. Good lessons! Thank you so much! 🥰🥰😎
Brooke, God has trained you up for this very day and time. Bless you for using your talents to help others! We all have a purpose big or small. Your knowledge is awesomely Godly!
Absolutely!!!!! There are others out there who share your burden for getting this information out there! Thank God, He said He would
Never leave us nor forsake us and I believe He is using people such as yourself to help get us to understand the seriousness this world is in today. I’m 63 and a widow who is trying to figure out how I can take care of myself and my grand daughter if needs be!
I would happen to agree she is the strongest woman out there my God what she can do is extrodenary she is blessed and rare a blessing to all of us
Thank you Brooke. Another great video and so important in the world climate we are living in right now.
Hahaha … hey friend , when I was a kid till I grew to be 14 years old we never had a eletric in our parents farm …😅😅… but guess what that was the most beautiful life I ever lived … tried everything from 5 star hotels to … today I have the best gadgets in my house travelled all over the world… but …. My childhood was the best🥰
Freeze drying is great. But be sure to let folks know, they should not just sit and eat freeze dried foods without drinking water. As they reconstitute in yer stomach, they will suck up all the moisture they can get. This can lead to stomach aches and other possible problems. So... Drink! Drink! Drink! And enjoy!
good reminder
I would love to be able to be that prepared! I live on the second floor in a tiny 2 bedroom apartment with my daughter and her 3 boys ages 7, 9 and 10. The 9 and 10 year old are autistic with very limited diets and I worry about what we would do in a real dire situation. Thank you for the tips, even if I can't use them I appreciate them! I can't wait to get ahold of that book and read it!
Small steps, start thinking, planning, use closets, under beds, etc. Get what you would NEED
food pantry church? i dunno.
I’m in a two bedroom apt with my mom and my three kids. Two on the spectrum. My son used to be very picky. Now, both of my kids have to be gluten and dairy free. My son is now vegan and primarily sugar free. I get where you’re coming from. There are tasteless vegetable powders you can sneak into their food to help with nutrition and I have stored things everywhere. Under beds behind couches, under my dining room table with a tablecloth over it. Hugs💕✨
@@Angel_HippieCityHealing hugs to you too! They will only eat a certain brand of chicken nugget, not the same brand of course lol, french fries, a certain kind of hashbrown patty and one will eat one brand of pork ramen and the other will eat Mac n cheese. My youngest son was deathly allergic to all dairy, eggs, peanuts, onions and many other things so I feel bad for you and your kids situation. Sounds like our families have a lot in common. Take care!
@@brendad940 Thank you so much and Oh do I remember those days! My son used to only eat breakfast sausage and hamburger and fries. I don’t know if you’ve looked into it, but once I started them on the gfcf diet, they both started eating more foods and behaviors were noticeably improved. I send you so many hugs and tons of love. You’re not alone and they are so lucky to have you. Feel free to reach out anytime.
Hi from Tennessee. Great informative video. Thanks so much for sharing. Have a great day.
Excellent. Thanks for sharing your knowledge & enthusiasm.
Have been doing it for 3mos now. Still have a list as long as my arm that we need.
You are right, it's tough. No electricity, (but our solar system finally arrived. We can't wait to put up).
We used candles, oil lamps, lucy lights. Wood heat, no insulation but a pretty dry roof over our heads. Cooking on a camp stove, and wood stove...
Kathie, what is a lucy light? Thank you, Christy
good job!
@@auntkissy5082 Hi Christy, a Lucy Light is a type of i expensive, clear or frosted plastic/vinyl solar light. It has multiple small led bulbs.
@@therealgirlinthewoods Thank you, our friends think wr are nuts, especially at our ages, but we are lovin' (for the most part), it.
@@auntkissy5082 you can make your own by using those cheap yarn solar lights and a jar or repurposed plastic jug...
In 2011 we had a total power outage in San Diego. As prepared as I thought I was, it was clear I had more to do. One big thing is that people do freek out. Tip: do not let your gasoline go below 1/2 tank. You cannot get gasoline if the power is out.
good tip
Always have a lot of cash in small denominations on hand, when technology goes down, cash is a trade. Or even certain food or survival items to trade with. I didn't see batteries or candles, matches, soap in your prep room. I'm sure you have them. Thank you for your videos I enjoy learning from them! You inspire me! You go girl!
SHE HERE!!! ❤️😁
Awesome Brooke! You come up with the most elaborate details of how to do things and I am quite impressed not only with your abilities to provide for yourself but the fact that you go out and camp on your own.
You are one simply amazing young lady!
Food for thought. Thank you for sharing!
Would be interesting to see more of your best meal recipe results using the freeze drier as you experiment. The egg scramble looked delicious and those bright red strawberries - yum.
You can do the same thing with potatoes , sliced and shredded
Hopefully we won't be going through any world events, but it's good to know. The main thing is good for natural disasters and weather events. I like the antibiotics case though you have to be careful with taking too many antibiotics and take probiotics or eat plenty of yogurt while taking them. The toilet bucket is awesome. Keep up the good work and God Bless.
CASH IN SMALL BILLS, 1's, 5's, 10's, 20's . . . if you show too much money, a large roll, you can subject yourself to robbery or worse . . . show no more than you want to spend! be careful . . . .
you rock with your knowledge, my family scuffs at me for being that what if person, and then they laugh and say we are coming to your house if anything happens. I am prepared!!!
Any other channel I would of passed or clicked away but you and Dave have done so much of the decades its worth a few minutes of my day
thank you
Ima gonna come stay with you!! Haha! Looks Yummy!! I try to have stuff to be a little prepared but no where as much as you have! Thanks for your insights! We camp a lot and have many items to utilize if needed, including a camp potty, emergency water filter, etc.
I've lived for over a week in a snow storm. No power. Kerosene heater, cooler buried in snow holding breakfast food and lunch meat, soups. Food for pets. Hauling water and feed twice a day to the horses thru 16 in snow. Actually loved it.
SUCH a wise wise woman you are .. Absolutely love you and your wisdom. Thank you so much xxx
Awesome video Brooke. Thank you for protecting us and treating us like one of your babies and spreading the love. I have been preparing for years. Your video is one of the best I have seen. Concise packed with the right information. No fluff just good info for people who do t have a lot of money. Awesome job Brooke. Love you...
I lived on a small Island for 5 years without power. No refrigeration, No AC, No TV, No lights. No internet. No electronics. Basically 18th century tech. Life is so much simpler. The cooking fire was the center of the community. Coming back to the modern world was jarring to say the last. People take for granted all of our "Modern Conveniences". I'm VERY sure that 95% of the people reading this have no frame of reference and no ability to adapt. The best way to adjust is to pull the main switch to the Off position and see how simple your life becomes. Most people that take the challenge last about 4 hours. Some even less.
hopefully some will take some action after watching this
So this is what you've been doing! I was wondering what was up since we've had no videos for awhile. Look at how much Moose has grown! What a cute puppy and Maysie always so pretty. Your prepping pantry has come a long way..... Love the sprouts idea... going to try. My eyesight has deteriorated so much so I unable to read anymore but I'll have my daughter see if she can order this book in audio form for me. So glad that someone has finally come up with emergency meds kits. Wish those freeze driers weren't so darn expensive, most folks can't afford them, and though your suggestion of sharing the cost with friends and or family is a good one, not everyone has that option. Thought you lived off grid. Did you run this machine off of a generator? Great video.. thanks for posting it.
thanks we have more than one property- this is the only one "on grid"
Check with Harvest Right...they were doing a layaway plan...maybe they still are????
@@kathys9786 great idea. I'll do that! Ty
Brooke!! Watching your videos brings me absolute joy💕 I'm always checking back in for the latest! Thank you for teaching me new things & keeping me entertained!
This was so helpful!! I am going to do it!! Thank you!
Brooke,
The weather changes FOUR TIMES A YEAR, every year. It has not changed in ANY significant way in over 10,000 years other wise.
So what is your point? There are winters with less snow or winters with huge storms. Brooke's just trying to get people to better prepare. My neighbor is younger. She goes to the grocery store every day to get fresh food for her families dinner. If she couldn't leave the house for 3 days she wouldn't have but maybe a couple cans of soup. She has 3 kids. Younger people didn't grow up with a parent who lived through the depression and were taught to keep a stock of food. This information is important to get out.
Also, most people won't fully follow through, but if they just stocked up with canned goods, TP and maybe a bucket toilet it might make their life a lot easier if they lost power for 2 weeks.
@@leahwhiteley5164 My point is global warming is a myth. Brooke happened to mentioned very subtle the the idea of global warming. I picked up on it and replied. Apparently you missed it and MY point.
@@thereturningshadow I did.
I was homeless and lived in a tent for 1 year, so I know I can do it:) Good video, Brooke:)
~Kevin
Thank you for giving such realistic ideas. So many times when people talk about survival they give ideas that are super expensive and/or just unattainable b/c of where someone lives. Your video is very helpful!!
Great information Brooke! A lot of people like to shrug off this stuff but it's so important.
Thank you for the info and encouragement to be prepared. Have you ever tried colloidal silver for your daughter's strep?
Do you gragle with it 🤔
nope thankfully she's getting it less and less as she ages
Colloidal silver collects in your system and can cause serious problems, had an indirect relative whose skin turned gray, so be careful about that. I just use honey and lemon and gargle with salt water, maybe some vitamin C and echinacea tea.
One more comment , for an emergency water filter , use a pop bottle ( or any other type of juice or whatever that's clean ) add moss , sand very small rocks and top it off with more moss , then a piece of cloth on the small opening , cut off the bottom of the bottle , pour water in ( from a creek or small river ) , it will filter out a lot of impurities , then boil the water to kill other bacteria .
Thank you for educating me. These things I did not know.
When people are starving they will eat anything just to live another day! POW’s ate rat’s, the plane that went down in the Himalayas they weren’t found for months! They ate the dead! So did the Dohnor party the trail wagon group who got caught trying to get over the mountains but was snowed in ! People will do anything just to live another day. Scary . If anyone wanted to take over a country you send a emp..wait a year then go in. The ones left after all the crime and killing is done will be to weak and willing to be taken over just to get food. I pray nothing like this happens but In reality it’s not if but when. This is very good Brooke thank you for showing people what’s best to have on hand.
Try canned venison. Delicious
I have a big question for you. Since you bought the medicine bag. There must be a time or an expiration date or advisement. Would you be able to share some of that information? Survival video thank you.
good question….and storage times and dates…..for how long?
it technically is about 2 years I believe it says, but could easily be drawn out by several more years with careful storage (5 years or more). i personally would use it if i needed it no matter how old it was. I mean if it doesn't work you're not "out" anything if you needed it. better to just try it.
I have never been more excited for one of your videos! Thanks so much for sharing!
I have to add that you have actually made my wheels turn towards a possible business opportunity. Thank you! 😊💕
Hello👋 dear, how are you doing?
I am curious how much it costs to run the freeze dryer for 24 hours. Doing it twice weekly must make a noticeable difference in your bill, if you are running it on the grid.
I have had a freeze dryer for a year now and don't really notice much difference in the elec bill and I run mine non stop. The only time I didn't was when I had to send it back for repairs which Harvest Right paid for because it was still under warrenty.

Me: Brooke, you forgot.... THERE'S GOVERNMENT!
Raised by two parents who raised kids through the big depression lived this way all my life. They lived as if another one was coming tomorrow. I am 78 years now and even tho times are hard, so far things have not effected me all that much. been married 52 years { to the same lady even } broke but happy
I already experienced not having water or electricity for months. When Hurricane Maria hit Puerto Rico in 2017, I found out what being prepared meant. Love your channel by the way!
Hello 👋 dear , how are you doing?
Yay! I read “One Second After” several years ago! It will definitely wake you up!
I LOVE that antibiotic kit. My bf got stung on a remote hike by something (not a bee, because he survived) but it caused an extremely bad infection that spread through his whole leg. Those antibiotics would have been our saving grace!!
You really got me to thinking Thank you .You are awesome
Great information Brooke! Thanks!
Thank you never had them going to try it. Great information.
When we stop to think about how just 1-2 generations ago from my generation, and beyond, many people didn't have electricity. It seems we are so far removed from the notion that electricity is not essential for survival. This is a needful video. Thank you for putting this out there.
Thank you for this video. Very good!!
You’re amazing! This was excellent! So many great ideas. After several severe hurricanes in the NE USA, we were out of everything for several weeks. Not even gas or open roads. It was an eye opener.
Awesome thank you for sharing this information and simplifying it! ❤️
