In 1933 my Grandma was 11, and she lost her mother to cancer. She helped raise me, and I would recommend for anyone who still have elders in their life is to talk to them and glean as much as you can from them.
Reminds me of a loosely coined term from nursing school. A Reminiscent Act. Listen to the elderly, let them talk as long as they want and gather wisdom from them. You made an excellent point!
Exactly right.👍🏻
@@annieoakley1905 when I was a kid, I would go with my Mom to visit elderly neighbors in convalescent care facilities. I would be in the hallways taking to the old folks, most in wheelchairs, asking them about their lives when they were younger. I met a few that remember traveling by covered wagon from the east coast with their parents. Being scared by the sight of Indians, crossing a large river, or burying a fellow traveler by the wagon trail. I looked forward to those visits.
We are already in a depression some are feeling it already and some are not effected yet
This year I will be canning. Been prepping for 2 years. Will be working hard this summer at gathering while the stores are quiet. I wish I knew preppers in my neighborhood.
Seeds are currency.
So are bullets.
People all around me are living it up, trips to Disney🤮, making big purchases, one of my siblings just took a 20K two week trip, they have no idea of what’s coming and treat me like I’m simple minded. I’m just keeping my head down and living modestly, I’m self employed, so I work at that and garden and harvest and preserve.
👍🏻
You are 💯 on people not wanting solutions! People dont want to learn. I experience this daily with a close family member and Ive lost interest in trying to offer solutions and pass knowledge. Dig and research for yourself like i did is now my attitude with this person.
👍🏻
I am 64 years old. My grandparents always said unfortunately you will probably experience the following in your lifetime.
A pan demic, a depression, civil war. I was taught to be prepared. Our children think we are crazy!
I doubt they'll think you're crazy for muuch longer.
We are already seeing drastic changes in our local supermarket. They are out of a lot of items. The meat section is getting smaller and so are the portions because people can't afford larger packages of meat. They have removed a lot of the isles and now the isles are wider. People are commenting how they can't believe what's happening and expressing shock over prices and the lack of items.

My grandfather was born in 1899 and grandmother in 1908. Father was born in 1933, southern Iowa farm family that almost starved to death. Oh the stories! Anyway, so many people think country living will protect you, no it wont. Yes, some made it just fine but some didn’t. I grew up working huge gardens, because my father was starved and feared it would happen again. We had a small farm, but dad worked on the railroad, while mom and us worked the garden and canned everything. I was so mad at the time, oh those weeds! Luckily dad built a small lake with a sand beach and dock, literally all the school kids would come to our house and swim all summer. That saved us after working the garden, we ran and jumped off that dock into the coolest beautiful water. Anyway, we have the opportunity now, and have been warned for years now to stock up. Canned foods are still reasonably priced on sale. They didn’t have walmart back then! We are spoiled and don’t even know it. Buy five cans a week, buy pasta, beans and rice. Keystone meats may seem high, but $10 for the equivalent of two pounds of roast already canned for you is cheap! Anyway, need to water the garden, i was learning skills and didn’t even know it growing up. We live in the country, i have a garden, but no farm animals. I’m more convinced to stock the shelves and preserve. Not against having livestock, but you have to feed them and keep them safe. There is not just one answer. We have been warned over and over, stock up now.
Very true.
In college I took a semester long course on the Great Depression. It lasted over 10 yrs and took WWII to end it!
Yep.
The One thing" Steve,, This Depression will be Worse"--- Due to the Fact" people are much more Violent- Lack of Leadership with Value's, and another is, what does the USA produce ' now to Export????? Homelessness is Just gained momentum!!!!! What a Mess !!!!
Yep.
👍🏻
You're absolutely correct, lack of values, morals, respect and on and on. Lack of support for the family. I remember James Dobson's warnings and plea to support the family. Sad but aware grammy here.
It will be much worse for us, the people who experienced the great depression were far more independent and hearty and possessed the importance skills to endure the unimaginable hardships. We are soft and for the most part unprepared for what is coming.
My husband’s gramma past away 3 yrs ago 91 yrs young . Before she past she came to visit and looked at my canning shelves and tears came rolling . She said to me don’t let them take this from you don’t let anyone know what you have . It happened to her family growing up . Government took all they had didn’t leave anything behind for them to eat took their chickens cow everything . 😪
Where did this happen?
I know I've mentioned this before. But, you remind me so much of my father, who recently passed. I miss him so much and really enjoy your videos and so appreciate all the advice you give us.
Thank you, Paige. I know how you feel, and if I can in some way help you remember his ways I'm very happy. May God bless and comfort you.
@@integrativepreparedness9427 thankyou so very much. That means a lot to me.
Your a great source of information, experience and sound minded. God bless you brother.
Steve, I so very much enjoy it when you talk about your parent’s and grandparent’s experiences, as well as your own. Our family histories play such an important part in our lives and passing those experiences on to the next generation can be what saves them, or at least helps them in understanding and get through life’s hurdles they are now experiencing or will experience in the future. Again, thank you for your videos.
Thanks, Diggin!
Funny you mentioned the breadlines during the Great Depression. I have stated many times, as I believe we are looking at a Depression that will make the Great Depression look like a recession, but bottom line, in today's Society, can anyone imagine people getting in lines, blocks long, to get a bowl of soup and bread? Ain't going to happen this time around and it is going to be total Chaos.
I agree.
I know that myself and many others are skipping meals to pay for higher prices everywhere else.
Find ways to make more money.
There are no bread lines because of food stamps.
Not yet.
Aren't food stamps (EBT cards) mostly used to buy Gatorade?
Right. They just go to the store whenever they want to, so they don't have to stand in long lines.
Food stamps won’t work if there’s no food
Look at a Gold and silver 100 year chart ,that should tell you that metals go up and up and up
When you buy it, you have to pay more than it's worth. When you sell it, you get less than it's worth. Try to buy something at the store with it. Try to barter with it. You can't. And what will you do when the government makes private ownership or trading of gold illegal again? You'll be stuck. Gold is a fool's investment or hedge pushed by the gold brokers. Investing the same amount of money in your own business will bring much higher returns. But by all means, do what you want.
My dad did not always have shoes. They lived in the Bronx during the depression.
👍🏻
There are so many threats to stability out there that it is crazy. A prudent person would look at all, as you suggest, and make some preparations to thrive under any and all circumstances. I personally believe that way too many prepare for just one scenario and quite often focus on just one point in the timeline of that particular event (scenario) instead of being more broad based and better prepared.
I agree.
My understanding is the ONLY reason to buy gold and silver is as an insurance policy . 10% of your net worth is commonly held as sufficient.
If you are the type to invest in silver and gold to swing trade the dips in the stock market or housing market that is a good strategy as well.
When the time comes sell your gains to buy reduced price houses/ apartments/ commercial property and/or discounted stocks/ mutual funds .
As long as you go into it with the understanding that riches aren't made on one trade and you must follow the cycles you can increase your net worth over many years if not decades.
Just joined Patreon for $1 a month well worth it. Just came in from the sweet potato 🍠 patch, first time growing them. I figure they will come in handy people and add to puppy food and dog treats in the making. Let’s see tomatoes, cucumbers, squash, zucchini peppers, eggplant 🍆 working this everyday. Bought a dehydrator. Always more to learn, looking forward to Patreon.
Excellent! Welcome to Patreon!
@@integrativepreparedness9427thank you! My name is Cynthia on there. It’s crunch time and need serious group discussions.
Buying my clothe wringer for my birthday present. 😁 I'm so daggon happy about it .
I bought 2 industrial mop buckets to use as clothes wringers
Happy Birthday!😄
Where'd you find a good one?
How many months worth of taxes/ mortgage payments would you suggest having put back in case of a collapse? 2 years?
It depends on what kind of collapse.
Mu great uncle said their just wasn't any money around
Steve great topic as usual the only question I have is what’s the definition of a depression? The problem is they’ve been renaming it for so long because both political parties don’t want to touch it that neither one of them would admit to it anyway over the last five 810 years how many times have we heard the word recession and depression X amount of quarters of inflation whatever and it never seems to make any difference
Neither wants to admit to it because they know that it would affect them in the polls and elections
So they just completely ignore it
They change the definitions
They play with the numbers
Or like KJP and Jenn sake they just lie about it
But I think we all feel it
We all go to the grocery store we all pay our mortgages we all fill up the gas tank by our kids clothes
I just don’t understand how people can’t use that as a motivator when they go to vote
The economy
The border
National security should be top issues for people
Frailty and weakness of the current administration both physically and mentally
Period
Gonna be real bad one more worse than 1929
Thank Jesus for mylar bags and canned food but especially for dieing for our sins. Amen.
damn i am so glad i'm poor. i don't have to worry about losing anything.
Depressions are much worse for the poor than for others.
Don’t you believe a business selling books will die in a Great Depression?
It will definitely be impacted.
People I know are now talking about how bad the economy is getting.
People I have never heard voice opinions about anything.
People calling me, asking questions.
I am very vocal about being prepared for anything and everything.
They used to think I was crazy.
Now they want to know how to get started.
I have never discussed politics with them.
I spoke about preparing for a personal economic meltdown.
Job loss, death of breadwinner, illness, natural disaster.
These same people are now seeing the politics all on their own.
As long as they are prepping, it doesn’t matter why.
I do tell them what Steve says about becoming preparedness minded not a prepper.
I also tell them panicking gets them nowhere fast.
I always refer them to Steve’s videos and a few other CZcamsrs.
The nuts and bolts are important but so is using logic and reason.
Outstanding!
Yeahbut, yeahbut.......
😂 Yep!
A snickers bar use to be a dollar and change. Now they are almost 4 dollars in San Diego.... Lets go Brandon.
I remember buying a Snickers Bar for .25¢ in Scripps Ranch! I won't age myself.....🎉
👍🏻
I haven't had a snickers in a few years but wow..inflation. Passing on the candy bars unless it's a special occasion.
I must be getting old I remember when they were a nickel. Lee85 USN57-69fron Nebraska
@Lee85USNfromNedraska me too..also a soda pop for 5 cents
We came close to another Depression in the 2008 crash, but the depths of despair in the Great One was much worse. Remember, there were NO social programs then, no Social Security, no Foodstamps, no Welfare, no free Medical. I have my brandmother's letters and it was horrible. My grandfather abandoned his family of 7 kids to find work and never came back. 3 of the kids died. God I hope you're wrong, but worry that you are right. MANY more would die, people are just not self-sufficient anymore.
👍🏻
Depression? Big pharma has a pill for that. Ha ha
Did you see the news about the petro dollar ending? The agreement we had with Saudi Arabia ended June 9th. Now countries can buy oil in any currency they want. This could cause the dollar to collapse. What do you think about this?
It won't collapse the dollar, but the dollar won't have the strength it has had in the past. Essentially, it will be on par with the pound, the euro, the franc, etc.
People who buy small amounts of precious metals slowly over the long term as a hedge don't brag about the price of gold - as that is called speculation. Other supplies that are actually useful, such as jelly beans for that jelly bean shooter are much more important for preparedness.
That biblical term you refrained from using “ don’t cast your pearls before swine “ 😂 👀
Bingo.👍🏻
dont buy gold?
That's right.
Glad someone said this! Yes, do not buy gold, silver, crypto, etc..
DO buy some gold and silver AFTER having most of your preparations squared away, such as a water, food, defense.
No reason to "Cast your pearls before the swine"?
That's the one!
Usually hear your videos better..Today, barely hear it.😢
Hmmm. Might want to check your end. It's coming out loud and clear on all of my stuff.
Some move when the lumber trains disappear, now they build new rail for the future workers camps. The more things change the more they stay the same. All we have in the end is our tenacity and allot of luck. Knowing a little bit a jack will help with the pile of 💩 about to fall on us. Will it be the same, no. Will you be as frugal as you're four father's, maybe. Will it get better, eventually but it will take time and hard work like we've never seen. Every day you wake (they) lose a little bit of ground. Oil Thine Steel Friends and Pray. 💪🇺🇸💪🦉💪🦫
