    A word of caution with the Oil Lamps/Storm Lanterns. Be careful of the fumes when the lamp(s) are lit if you are Asthmatic. There will be an invisible oil vapour in the air, that could cause you breathing problems, as I found out, when we had a mains power cut (outage). Make sure the lit area is ventilated.

    I keep stocked up on inexpensive toothpaste tubes, razors, and bar soap. These are very affordable for now, and last a long time. I keep at least six unopened tubes of toothpaste and a few dozen bars of soap. Both have potential to be excellent barter items. I do not worry as much about razors since I will be growing a beard anyway in an SHTF situation. Just some things to add to the list. Also extra toothbrushes to go with the others. Imagine how gladly someone would trade something they do not need for a clean, new toothbrush if they needed one.

    Great "top-up" information, J.R.! I hope more people listen. I have a small addition, if I may. My wife loves those scented candles, and there is always a surplus of the "remains", as it were. Lots of wax left in them after they're burned out. I set a few of them on top of the wood stove, allow them to melt and pour the liquid wax over folded paper towels, and just squeeze everything together until it looks more or less even. (It's not so hot as to be painful!) *INSTANT* fire starter material!

    Brilliant advice as always mate.
    Candles... I agree, they are dangerous.
    These days I only burn them in entirely enclosed "Ikea type" candle holders.
    Fire starters.... TAMPONS!
    Seriously, bulk-buy cheap tampons are king. Cut half an inch off the end, fluff it up, and one strike from a ferro rod will make it burst into flames.
    FYI I also now pack little magnifying glasses. They aint great, but they never wear out, and on a bright day you have free fire.
    Tools....I could not agree more
    But you just reminded me that I need to buy an auger for when the power is out.
    Books... where do I start.
    I have recently started to stockpile manuals and I work in an area that is technically "IT". Computers and apps are great, but one EMP pulse or the power grid going down means all your fancy files are either worthless, or require you spunking your solar generator to power it up long enough to extract the info. Manuals sit there doing nothing until your life requires them... and they work.
    Medication.
    Absolutely a given. It perplexes me that people dont realise this.
    Water purification....
    It confounds me that people dont prepare for this. After air, the next most important thing is water. Everyone should have some form of bullet means to secure the many litres of safe water they need every day. FYI I flush, disinfect and dry my old berkey filters. They make a great pre-filter to use in an emergency for keeping contaminated crud out of your main purification system.
    Food ... I like food.
    Superb advice as always mate. Your advice is always simple and sound.

    Quick mention.... Although you did show bar soaps at the very end of your video, you simply talked a few seconds about bartering these. I think the majority of prepper videos don't give enough attention if at all to personal hygiene products. I've spent a considerable amount of time camping out or on hunting trips in the mountains. And getting cleaned up in a stream after a pretty rough day hiking from ridge to ridge makes one fairly sweaty and odipherous. It's quite a physical and emotional luxury to get washed up before sitting down by a campfire to eat dinner and climbing into your sleeping bag. I use liquid camp soap. It won't harm the environment or the fish in the stream. Plus.... If you have others around you or your significant other, it'll make them happy. 😅

    The most important thing to remember is that water is a must for survival. If you are planning on staying in your home, make sure that you have water stocked. You can buy different sizes of containers from 30-50 gallon containers. The trick to this is that the containers MUST be food grade. If you go this route, make sure that your containers are not in direct sunlight and you drain and replace the water every so often. Most humans drink over 850 gallons of water every year. Even if you do store your water, you will need a way to replenish your water supply, so make sure you know you're waterways and hopefully, you will know at least one natural spring.

    I built a trailer that holds most of my shtf supplies. I could park it in the middle of the bush and survive for over two years. I’ve already used it a few times

    0:43 I would add that if you do like the Zippo route--and I do think they have advantages over the BIC lighters, namely they protect the lighter in a meaningful case--you can replace the Zippo insert with a butane type lighter insert. The yellow flame insert that Zippo sells combines the durability of a Zippo with the functionality of a BIC, which to me is the best of both worlds--plus it's refillable. There are other butane inserts too which also won't leak like a BIC with an accidentally depressed fuel button. Much better for EDC at least; perhaps not so much for long-term shelter-in-place.

    As for handles for garden tools, shovels you can cut limbs ,sticks to replace handles in shovels, rakes, hoes. I have found several different old used rakes and such that was missing handles at yard sales, junk stores and used limbs,wood sticks cut down to use for handles and they work very well.

    Cordless battery tools and heavy duty plugged tools like saws are key for the first year of survival. A miter saw can turn a week's worth of work into a couple of hours. Even the Amish's brother tribe Mennonites use power tools. They can raise a barn a little faster.

  • @palominogirl2732
    @palominogirl2732 Před 9 měsíci

    I'm lucky enough to have a ton of tools handed down from my parents. These shovels, rakes, picks, are from the 60's and 70's. I don't know what the handles are made of, (ash?), but they have stood the test of time. I never leave them outside, once in a while I actually have time to put oil on them and store them for winter, but not always. Another thing that I plan on doing (besides giving the electric company the boot), is having a DC freezer as opposed to a refrigerator. If you can make ice, you can use coolers, or put a big block of it in the non-working refrigerator, like the 'ice box' of yesteryear. When all is said and done, if you have a way to have some power, and you've got your food put by, your 90-percent 'there'.

    I have also purchased things like vaseline (for fire starters), candles for a quarter, triple antibiotic, first aid supplies, can openers, blankets, work gloves, canning jars, i could go on and on. I have purchased all these things and many more, all for my preps, all at estate sales. It stretches my prepping dollars much farther.

    When starting a fire, use a lighter to light a candle. Then use the candle to start the fire. Much easier and less expensive.

  • @HurairahHomestead

    Other things that would be good, an off grid (hand operated) washer. Clean clothes last longer! You can also get a hand cranked sewing machine. We haven't had electricity for that long and before we had that, we had hand crank or foot treadle sewing machines. Even if you have a generator, it would be better to use alternative energy where you can, so running a washer or electric sewing machine would be just more thing your generator would have to contend with. In a long term situation, the more you demand of your generator results in it wearing out quicker. Then, there WILL come a point when your solar panels go kaput, your generator just stops working...and, well, candles and lanterns are GREAT for giving you light, but they don't clean or mend clothes very well...

    Fresnel/magnifying sheets from an A4 size (to start fires) and TV sized (to start fires and possibly cook with). I found the credit card sized magnifying card to be almost useless and I think you shouldn't go any smaller than an A4 sized one. Obviously this is an unlimited fire starting source, just protect it from UV degradation. They would also make great bartering items.

    I’m new to your channel. Just wanted to say if you’re sensitive to fragrances or asthmatic, buy unscented candles and lantern fuel because it Will definitely trigger it. I would also mention over the counter allergy meds. My son in-law got bit by a bee and had an bad allergic reaction. My daughter gave him an allergy pill and it prevented him from anaphylactic shock. She did the same when her dog got stung also. I’d also recommend a knife sharpener and extra knives. Great video! Thanks so much for sharing!

    For the candles, you can buy decorative candle lanterns at walmart and hang them from the ceiling or wall hooks. I picked one up a few years ago for $15, made of metal and glass, and while it says to use LED candle lights, I have only used it with real candles and never had any issue. I've burned tea lights, votives, quart jar size, and the tall memorial candles from the dollar tree. Keeps it out of the way of kids/animals and while I've never had it happen, if the candle is defective and "explodes", the wax would be contained. I've actually wanted to get a few more of them because it's worked so well.

      ​@@CB-A6KZ there are some quite .22 rounds that are about as quiet as an air rifle and perfectly adequate for small game and even defense in a pinch.
