I was born in Romania, and i was a child during the Ceausescu dictatorship. My grandmother who survived both world wars did not throw away anything that could be used for something. Not even a plastic bag. She often washed the plastic bags if they were not clean to use them again. We had petroleum lamp in case of no electricity ( what was happening quite often due to electricity saving of the government at that time). She also knew how to make home made soap from leftover animal fat, and knew how to make new and functioning candles from leftover candles. She told me once that if modern day people would face a war and poverty now, many would die because of not being prepared even the basic survival skills. And she was right.
Így van. Nagyon igaza van.
Your grandmother is worth gold
Would love to know how she made functional candles from left over pieces ?
Please talk in more detail about what your Grandmother taught ! my grandma died when I was 5 so none of what she knew was passed on.
YES SHE IS CORRECT...
U CAN BE A TEACHER 2 LEARN SOMEBODY SOMETHING...
Im 61 female. Been prepping since 1999. My kids said i was crazy and laughed at me. Whos laughing now?
So here a new update. Ive built a coop and im going to raise quail. Very urban friendly. Eggs and if nessisary a meat source. And they are darn cute
do not.tell.NEIGHBORS..they. be braking into ur.home..PLEASE
Good on you. I love when family doubts us then we get to say told you so later

FYI... CINNAMON keeps mice roaches and ants away. I soak cotton balls in strong cinnamon water let them dry then place in cabinets etc. It really works. I've had trouble with all three this past year and now nothing.
Wow really ? That’s amazing !!
Wow! Thanks for sharing!
lavender will keep awaty fleas and teatree oil will repel bedbugs. Essential oils are all good to have a supply of
Yes cinnamon essential oils works great
Mint also, absolutely no critter can stand it.
Everyone said to me , why are you stockpiling things, you're wasting what little money you get. I always said " you never know when you might need something. " Of course when the virus came around guess who could help. ME. My grandmother taught me to save old pantyhose they are great for tying things up or use as rope. Good and strong. Take care everyone cause you never know what is just around the corner.
I have so many pantyhose after retiring and thought of tossing them but instead tucked them into a drawer. Great tip to keep them for emergencies. Thanks!
Make great filters. Screens. And masks.
Old pantyhose also get you home in a emergency if the belt on your vehicle breaks or windshield wiper switch stops working. Attach to the blades and pull back and forth. Works too.
You know all those gas masks you see? All they have is baking soda on a screen. Just stretch that nylon over a frame and work a slurry of baking soda into and let dry. Same thing.
Old shirts make good cleaning rags for free. (makeshift towel in a pinch). An old sock makes a washrag if your out or poor as well.
Great video!👏👏👏
My parents would say. . .
"Better to have it & not need it. . .then need it & not have it.
My mother and father stores mason jars and tops for 40 years. My stupid husband threw them out and showed no common sense. Need I say more? I'm getting absolutely every thing I can get my hands on just in case. Even a few things are better than nothing!!!!
Very true too
@@lindasmith3377
Oh no🙈🙉🙊
Mason jars are like gold where I live...especially the lids & rings.
They are constantly sold out...in the local stores.
Canning your own food is VERY smart. . .imo
That’s why I’m a bit of a hoarder ;)
How many do you need....one that works
My 80+ mom at the beginning of COVID lockdown, gave each of us “kids” a box of 50 disposable face masks. The boxes were not new. Who knew she was low-key prepping!
My parents gave me boxes of gloves some masks some hand sanitizer or a bunch of paper and canned goods lol
Surprise!😁
Something that people forget to stockpile is: SKILLS. The more you can do for yourself the more likely you are to survive. You can grow your own food, make your own fire logs, make soap, and so much more. Learning new skills takes up no space.
I must say that your comment is an excellent addition to this thread! Most people have a few little prepper items or they have a trick that they learned from MacGyver.. but when the supplies dwindle and the MacGyver tricks no longer work what will you fall back on? Do you have any idea how to build a fire without matches or just how difficult it is? How about constructing a shelter? Just the most basic rudimentary skills can eventually save your life. When I was a kid my Marine corps dad would take his camping and teach us what he called Bushcraft. Basically our assignment was to make something useful and necessary out of nothing with only what we could find or had on hand. It was a fun challenge as a child and yet I learned so very much from it! What can you do what skills do you have that will make you valuable to a group or to a community? Not everyone is going to have the perfect place to go hide out and hold up alone and survive well physically and mentally. During the pandemic since I already knew how to garden and preserve my food and forage for food and so and cook and make bread I already had homemaking and survival skills this time I taught myself to make alcohol and vinegar! Two more skills to add to my list in my basket of skills! Again you make a fine point and I'm surprised that this was the only one about learning and gaining your own skills!
Make your own fire logs? Can you expand on this please?
I WOULD LIKE 2 LEARN HOW 2 MAKE SOAP YES..
@@victoriabachlotte3321 :U COULD BE A TEACHER 2 LEARN SOMEBODY SOMETHING ON U TUBE...
Would still need to stock up on the ingredients for those skills.
They also sell fancy heat for a dollar it’s a can that will cook food for 2 hours. You can also take 4 bricks with the jar n the middle to safely heat to keep warm in your car or house. Or make a stove. Dip a cotton ball in petroleum jelly. Light it to start a fire. Plus it’s great for the dry skin if you have no lotion. Take a small flashlight insert the light in the bottom of a liter bottle. Light pointing in and duck tape it. The light will magnify enough to light a room. So what are your hacks? Share them now so we will be prepared. God Bless you all! Pray for humanity. Preparedness will give you peace. To deal with what’s coming our way. I’m old and I feel less vulnerable due to prepping! 🙏🏼
Save dryer lint in a ziplock bag it is a perfect firestarter
I save dryer lint I put it inside the cardboard rolls inside toilet paper i also save old wax melts from my burner and put it on the ends of the toilet paper rolls starts a fire great .

My wife's grandma grew up through the Great Depression. Consequently, the spare bedroom in her house was lined with 5 tier metal shelves filled with supplies. She was ready. She passed in the 90s but what a great woman she was.
I want that to be me one day.
Did you get her supplies handed down to you? I would have been very proud to get a pantry handed down to me.

Also don’t forget a manicure kit for nails. Tweezers can remove slivers

I started prepping as a child on the farm. My mother’s reason was “just in case...you never know.” I continued after I was married and my children used to kid me that I was prepared for a war. All these years later they are now calling me asking for things they cannot find in the stores due to the corona virus. One of them even apologized for giving me a hard time when she was still at home. I’ve also been canning for as long as I can remember and have been eating very well throughout these very difficult times. Prepping works!
My grandmother used Aunt Bee's kerosene cucumber recipe. 😝
Chaya Cohen stay blessed! In Jesus Christ name
What do you think children are for? It's the same here and there 😅
He keeps saying 'old school', but many times the 'old school' is very affordable and exceptionally effective. Just ask your parents and grand parents-it got them thru the Depression and their quality was just fine...
For any kind of skin/ wound issue, my moms' cure all was boiling water, a drop of dish soap and a tablespoon of salt. Put all in a solution, drop a clean rag into it. wring it out, let it cool a tad, and apply to the wound and let it sit for a couple of minutes. It kills/cures anything!
@@jeffreydevoti8528 hmmm i never herd of that recipe but i imagine dumb folks might try to eat it, so i hope you put the recipe here for all to see, then tell them what they can do with it.
I have been prepping like this for years, when covid hit my family sat back and watched as everybody else scrambled for basic supplies. its not that expensive to do this over time. the cost of one cup of starbucks coffee will buy a 40 pack case of bottled water. 3.98. cannned food at walmart .50 a can for vegatables, corn peas carrots green beans and so on. these also double as a water supply you run out. after surviving multiple hurricanes we learned not to wait until the last minute. the best time to prep is when there is nothing happening at all.
czcams.com/video/9f-5PiziRKc/video.html
Exactly. After a hurricane you cannot find bottled water, candles, batteries, matches, canned goods, and so many other things. Like you said, the best time to prep is when things are nice and calm. Living in a hurricane prone island, I prep ahead. Each time I go to the store, I try to get a couple of things to add to my preps. It is easy and inexpensive.
Well all that is ruined if people break in and steal everything sadly
only unprepared people. They can try to steal my goods but first they have to get past the over 5000 rounds of get the hell out of my yard ammo.an ar-15 makes people change there mind pretty quick. ak -47 does just as well. I live in south alabama, in the country. theres no black lives matter antifa bullshit here. they can try but it wont be peaceful LOL. ( on our end).
or should I say from us.
I had food supplies water soap my children moved me into a new place and they were upset at the food I had on hand asked if I was saving for a Apocalyse I said well if I need to over spend on bills medical car repair loss job I know I can eat for at least 3-4 months and have money to pay my bills not worry about buying food ..

Whet stone snd I’ve heard foil aluminum works to sharpen scissors.
I know this might sound weird, but Depends adult diapers. If you or someone in your family gets diarrhea, clean up could be a challenge. What if you had the runs for several days or a week, but still had to go work outdoors or travel? You would be glad you did!!!!
One day of having a bad case of the flu will make you a believer
Maxi pads and tampons as well for the teenage girls and ladies
I use Imodium. Takes care of it quick. No need for depends.
I make my own bladder pads 6inches X 2 inches, 2 layers of pale blue toweling with a backing from soft waterproof bed liner.
ZigZag around the edge of all three layers, and then slip into the crutch of your panties where their is double thickness and cut the top side stitching that faces your body only along the top about 2 &1/2 inches wide , slide in the pad and later take out and rinse if necessary and wash with other clothes put on a light rack in the sun to dry, or use a hair dryer.
An extra bonus put in some vinegar in the final rinse to take out all soap powder from clothes undies etc.

It has been a little while now, since I've heard the familiar refrain, "What's that for, Mom?" Funny how that works, when Mom, always plans ahead and prepares! For years I have bought gifts ahead of need, and collected quality made wooden toys even before my little grand-daughter arrived. Guess what? Everything is being used as it becomes age appropriate for her... LOL
Yes amen
I started prepping 5 years ago. I separated because of it. My ex fiance said I was crazy. When covid started... I had a grin in my face. I even had japanese face masks that I stored since the SARS outbreak in 2010.
Irish Springs bar soap also is a bug deterrent for your food storage and of course it's soap.
Some say it will keep mice away too, the don't like the smell.
Some say that Irish Spring soap works to keep mice out of RVs, because they do not like the smell of it.
I put it in containers and hooked under the hood of my car to keep the mice from eating the wires which has happened before
It is also good to put a bar in your car, won't chew on wiring.
For mice: has to be the Original, they eat the aloe kind. I've done this successfully for several years now in the country, ever since a friend told me about it. No problem since, although I do have several farm / house cats running around now, as well ....
Safety pins are another good thing to have. Never know when you’ll need them to hold stuff together. Plus they’re small and don’t take up much space 😁
This is a real good idea.
Also if we have to ration our food every one will lose weight and need those pins to hold their britches.
may need them for when your clothes start falling off from loosing weight
I keep em in the car for wardrobe malfunctions. 🤣 Saved me with a popped pants button one day.
I use safety pins to keep pairs of socks together when laundering them with other clothes; they don't get separated in the wash and drying cycles.
Ppl... plz be ready for eternity. It's a very long time! God bless. 🙏

@@randomgrinn There is no greater love than to lay down your life for another. Jesus Christ willingly went to the cross to suffer & to die that we may be with Him forever in paradise.

He paid the price for our sins so we may be forgiven. Only Jesus did this. I don't do trendy. I found the truth thru evidence. If you were to die tonight, do you know where you are going??

I started stockpiling around 2010, my adult kids thought I was a little paranoid. Then covid hit, they came to me for food. Then we had a freak ice storm for a week in Texas and had no electricity for 5 days in zero temperatures. After it thawed the grocery stores were empty. But I had food. I learned I crave butter and need to stockpile more cat and dog food. And get an ax to chop the ice up in the livestock water trough which I’ve never had to do in 66 years of life.
Sanitary pads are a Godsend when someone is hemorrhaging.
Why r u guys hemorrhaging?
Tampons are great for nosebleeds and bullet holes.
Lol, YES!! I got kicked by my mare in the lower leg, a big, bad gash. Lots of blood. Got to the barn, slapped a sanitary napkin onto it, wrapped it in vet wrap for pressure, got the bleeding stopped, and managed to get to Urgent Care.
Everyone involved in my care laughed at my bandage, until they took it off and blood flowed down my leg.
17 stitches later, they had stopped laughing, and were complimenting me on getting the bleeding stopped and getting in. One RN said she was adding pads to her 1st aid kit. Lolol. (I use them on the horses if they get hurt to control bleeding before the vet can get here. Lol)
@@michellelesser2924 Yes I take Aspirin EVERYDAY so cuts bleed for HOURS... it's a SCARY thing to see pools of blood from room to room while ur searching n panicking... Good thinking on ur part to know what to use for urself and ur animals and to KEEP them HANDY!!😎
@@margocaldwell8109 they are in my first aid kit, just inside the barn door. It's actually an old trunk, lol, and it has all the critter meds in it. Easy to get to. I added some pads to my car first aid kit and house kit, too. Just in case. :)
Store your tapes even electrical in a cool environment, the adhesive can go bad.
I keep mine in ziplocks, even in the house the edges don't get dusty and nasty and un-sticky.
One thing I buy that has multiple uses is Zote soap. You can bathe an wash clothes with it. And if near pond, river or lake catch fish. It's pink. I cut it in half inch squares for fishing. Take a limber willow sapling or some other an attach line. Jam into bank with 2 branches in cross holding up in air. Tie on hook an cast line in water with hook. Leave if want an can catch fish. Call it a Set pole Can also dig for worms or grubs an catch small bream an use for bait. Use large hook. Keep alive an hook through top of back. Large fish like live fish Caught one that fed over 4 people. Used the soap an filled up 8 ft long table with fish using the soap It works I also buy cans of sardines. Drain oil. Add some Worcestershire sauce. Little Creole an pepper. Put on cracker. Yum. I call it poor man's caviar. Lots of protein. Keeps for long time. Great snack.
Growing up in Southern Louisiana, every year you started taking stock of your hurricane supplies around the beginning of May. We didn’t call it prepping, it was just part of life. 30+ years in the military may have added a few more items to our preps, but I’d rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it. This video hits the nail on the head and is a good starting point, if you get all the items please don’t stop!
Please list YOUR items. Thank u!
SMSgt. Bulldog I’m not military but I’m from Mississippi though. I usually start stocking my supplies in March or April. If they are not needed, I begin using them in November. That keeps everything update and fresh.
Tanya Washington I stock unscented bleach (do not get splatter resistant either), evaporated milk, canned meats, canned vegetables, canned fruits, etc...make certain you have a good hand operated can opener (no electricity). Toilet paper, Kleenex, soap (grater so in case you run out of washing detergent, you can grate the soap), clothes pins, utility rope, fabric softer (a must if you have to hand wash your clothes and dry in the sun, or else your clothes will feel stiff and itchy). Charcoal if you have a grill or Dutch oven, we take advantage of the scattered tree limbs and burn those to cook first after a hurricane. Ziplock bags, aluminum foil, parchment paper (when cooking certain food items in the Dutch oven like bread or biscuits). Oil lamp, lamp oil, non chargeable flashlights (battery only), personal battery operated fan. If you can afford it, get a generator, use it to randomly keep your refrigerator going until you can eat or dispose of the food. If you have animals, make certain you have a months supply of food and water for them also. Keep all of your important papers in 1 safe place and in a ziplock bag. Keep any and all medications in one place (I keep mine in a reusable Walmart bag, so that if I have to leave in a hurry I can grab it and go). A battery operated radio that will pick up both AM and FM (after hurricane Katrina every single radio stations towers were destroyed within our area, at some point we were able to tune into one on the coast on an AM frequency. It was our lifeline to the outside world). Most importantly, get playing cards, a board game, and/or crossword puzzles. You have no idea how bored you will be sitting on the front porch with no wind and battling love bugs and mosquitoes. We went 19 days without electricity and I almost died from boredom and heatstroke daily. Anyway, I hope that helps you.

I'm still surprised how many still don't prep enough in Louisiana for hurricanes. Shelves are empty, and people still ask for stuff or need MREs and water from the national guard.
Those big popcorn bins that appear around Christmas time are good to hold items. My candles reside there, inside the house. The Holiday pattern on the outside makes them stand out, in a hurry, when looking for them!

My parents both grew up during the depression, so I learned very early how to reuse things. Improvise, etc. And of course I learned how to hang on to and repurpose things. Now I've been the one preaching "you all better get ready for what's coming". Martial law is right around the corner...like maybe today.
Something you didn't remember: Fondu Sets! Many of us have these sets in the back of our closets or buried deeply in our garages or basements since the 1970's fondu fad.
Nothing will perk up a dull dinner party in maybe a forest or abandoned factory/warehouse like one of these sets!
I purchase a years worth of products when I resigned from my job Sept 2019. I was already set when pandemic hit. I just refurbished toilet paper and cleaning supplies and hygein products just last month and we are again on lockdown. I am all set again. What impeccable timing did I have

I went shopping yesterday and filled up the cart, for me and the kids and the grandkids. All useful things like dried and canned fish and meats, pasta, beans, broth powder, rice, and canned veggies and fruit, flour, yeast and sugar. Canned and dried milk products. Plus medicinals like Tylenol and Imodium, and cough syrup, Benedryl, etc. in case we don’t have access to the hospital. A new big first aid kit, plus alcohol, peroxide, and antibiotic ointment and calamine lotion. A half gallon jug of Dawn and a big sack of toilet paper. We already had stocks of batteries, etc. As I pulled the cart away from the counter, I overheard the young clerk talking to the next customer about hoarding. I just smiled and left, and wondered where she would find food and shelter when the flu shuts everything down for a while. I’m one generation away from the Great Depression, and I listened to the old folks’ stories. I think it’s a good idea to learn to cook, and to clean, and to take care of yourself outdoors...whether you’re male or female. Let’s pray for each other, and look out for the weaker ones in the months to come.
It's better to have than to want.😉😉

It's not hoarding if you use it!
From Athens Greece,at the 24th of febr we heard about the flu and everyone was laughing when i bought all above and i spend the 1/3 of my salary.A week later my family begdt for the basics,antisepts,etc...Beware
@@katherinerichardson2273 The flu is serious. So is Covid-19 (even more so). They can both kill. Everything should be shut down until this passes. So many are going to die unnecessarily because they aren't taking this seriously.
If you have a cat, the large yellow buckets of cat litter make a good storage container. Heavy duty plastic with a good handle.
I have bags of sugar and dried beans stored in them, but I have kept extension cords and all sorts of things in those for years. They're great for dog biscuits, too. Kerps them very fresh
How weird is it to listen to someone from a year ago, emphasize the importance of stocking up on toilet paper, hand sanitizer, cleaners and face masks. 🤔
I know right
Well you never know what's going to happen. Got to be prepared. 🤗
Scotts 1000 1ply actually does go alot further than the other toilet paper I know because that's what we get. We use to use 2ply but since pandemic we started using 1 ply and I'm not going back to 2 ply because it does last longer and goes further.
@@tessm6440 k
Yeah you just never know anymore. Be prepared for the end and pray for better. I have a feeling this pandemic is just the start.
I've always kept a couple boxes in the trunk of my car for anything that comes up. Change of clothes socks warmer layers and a jacket, lighters matches simple toiletries, duct tape plastic and just anything that I can think of really.
I'm always adding to it too. Think the last things I added were a penny alchohol stove, a hand crank flashlight, and a water filter straw. I also came across a power converter that allows me to use my car like a generator and plug in different appliances.
What's great though about the trunk boxes is that, wherever I go it's nearby, so I'm always thinking of or finding new ideas to add to it. For me at least it's been easier than trying to remember a kit stored at home and remembering to put things in it, like at home I sort of assume eh I I probably have it, but in the car I like the feeling of being prepared and it motivated me somehow.
Oh and I say a couple boxes. Should have a backpack in there too but, couple boxes because one I fill with clothes and toiletries while the other is tools and matches type stuff
Cool.thanks for the good idea
Baby wipes, even when they dry out, just add more water, and they work great!

I stocked up on bar soap and hygiene items for a year. Cleaning supplies can go fast so keeping 3 months supply is more idea and replace as you can because they also take up large amounts of space. I have a solar charging bank to use for my cell phone and any other USB device. I also bought a kinetic radio that does not need to be charged by cord. You have to wind the handle to charge it. It works just fine. I also have a respirator mask, and filters made from Merv13 material. I'm seeking Halyard 600 material soon which is used for a sterile surfaces. I have am currently working in my garden and setting some plants aside to go to seed for next years crops. I also bought a books on canning food, plant medicine, wild food curing and preserving. I also know how to sew, knit, and crochet and spent the last 6 years perfecting those skills. Also learned to build a water filtration system with carbon and sand and many other skills. It takes years to learn some things and prepping is just flat out necessary these days. God bless!

And he says the word "Pandemic" in May 2019. Wow. Well done, Sir. You nailed that one. Prep on!
One thing no one seems to think about is reading glasses. Dollar tree sells a good selection of various strengths--all for $1 each. If you're much past 30, you've already noticed your vision beginning to deteriorate. Great for rigging fishing gear, gunsmithing, stitching up wounds or clothing, reading maps, books, instructions etc.--anything you need to see up close. Great for trading under rough circumstances, too...
Oh yeah, it wasn't mentioned in this video, but I stock up on all power levels of readers. I use them daily myself.
And now thanks to the idiots in power they now cost $1.50

My parents grew up during the Depression, so when I was young, we did these things that can save you money now, and save you materials in an emergency: We washed and reused foil, plastic wrap, sandwich bags, and any plastic food container. We had to take off our school clothes when we got home and put on old clothes for around the house. We all knew how to sew so we could sew on buttons, hem clothes, and repair seams.
Don’t throw away cloth. Reuse it for cleaning and dust rags.
for stuffing in pillows/blankets.....filters......even fire starters [lint] ....patches on clothes...stuff clothes to keep warm....blanket pad for horse i guess....
Tara Hagen I’ve been saving empty toilet paper rolls and stuffed each with dryer lint. I need to practice lighting a fire, but I don’t have a yard. But I have plenty of firestarter!

Has anyone mentioned emery boards?!!!!!
@@Sunset553 Nice fire starter, if you are near any pine trees pine knots are highly flammable, the resin in them is great. Ok now I'm saving lint, thanks.
Sunset I do all these things to save the planet
Amazon had batteries that recharge with USB, so if you get a small solar panel that charges a power pack, you will always shave charged batteries.
I save the little desiccant packs that you find in packages of dry foods (they say " *Do Not Eat* " on them). I use them in salt the shaker, sugar bowl, etc. But, also for keeping stored herbs dry. They're quite useful for storing foods.

Thank you for saving me twenty two minutes.
Just an addition - love your advice on here - here are just a few more suggestions I’ve found work.
Wax blocks - you can water seal anything. You can make a water bladder with material wiped down with melted wax. You can also seal an injury with ‘warm’ wax (not too hot) if you have to wade through water and you have an open injury, warm wax OR super glue will seal that injury and protect you from bacteria. Parchment paper makes cooking so much easier, little to NO clean up. Dollar store clear shower curtains - multi use. Grain alcohol is great for medical sterilization and cheap. Alcohol also burns clean and is great if you are stuck indoors and must cook without electricity. I’ve used all these items in bushwhack camping - boondocking - hunting excursions. When you don’t want to leave a footprint, use minimal throw away items. Vaseline, added to cotton pads make a GREAT quick fire starter, especially if you can only find damp wood. All these items have MULTI-uses that I did not list. The military puts out a combat survival book, updated annually, that is a MUST have - covers everything triage, including birthin’ babies 😜. You can find them used at used book stores, as well as online. Having an herbalist book on hand can help as well. I grew up learning survivalist skills, more than hunting & fishing, and am so thankful some 40 years later. Who’da thunked, my practical & wonderful dad who wanted his girls to know how to take care of themselves!
Awesome ideas, thanks!
Im a prepper.
Plan for the worst hope for the best.
This what non prepper people dont understand
melatonin, entertainment (cards, books, games for children), dryer lint can help start a fire, whetstone (a dull knife does not work well), large bandana's are multi purpose and light weight, a good pair of scissors, hard candy (a nice treat as well as for someone who's blood sugar drops)
Good video. Practice your prep too. Create a mock scenario to test yourself/skill. Having all this “stuff” and not knowing how to use it is pointless. Try surviving a weekend with no utilities and learn from your weakness. Try it when it’s in a control environment instead of a panic. Remember CZcams won’t be here to help when SHTF so learn now.
So true, my mom was a piano teacher for ten years, so practice, practice, practice! Have an emergency plan, same as a fire drill.
Already tried and tested. Hurricanes Irma and Maria stomped on our islands. My island got a direct hit. We had so much devastation I still can't look at pics I took. Two years later we are more prepared. And that sense of community united us in ways that can never be explained.
@@chaebeellephiyah4559 how useful was prepping?
@@ranstra12 Trust.. very
@@ranstra12 sorry for the late reply. In a Hurricane there is NO going outside until the all clear is given. In our hilly terrain once the winds get to a certain strength they cut the electricity off. Prevents fires from damaged infrastructure. We buy less frozen foods and more dry goods. We have hurricane shutters and mostly concrete walls inside and out because flying debris s very destructive. I have pics that I cried over for my islands. We also make sure we have first aid items, batteries, flashlights, solar powered everything we can get our hands on and generators with extra gas. That's just a small part of the list. I already have many of the items. We also grew up always buying extras, just in case, of certain items any so there is not much of a great list for Hurricane Season. Raincoats, water boots, tarps...... I can go on. It save time stressing. And our Disaster Management Coordinators are vigilant along with some charity organisations in getting all information to the public. It's is by no means perfect but well organized, we got this.
Thank you for not flashing the flashlight into the camera like so many other people do.
Much appreciated. It was the icing on the cake

One thing you could do in terms of batteries, that I also found at a dollar store was battery adapters. Little plastic and metal adapters that fit inside each other like nesting dolls, so they are super space savers and allow you to use AA or AAA batteries on anything that requires C or D batteries. You can even use the AAA to AA adapter to power your AA stuff with AAA if you run out of AA. Really useful in a pinch!
Let's not forget our furry kids!!! They need their own prep bin too!!

In a SHTF moment, unless it is a dependable horse, all other beloved critters may be on the menu in a few weeks.
That's the sad reality most of us DON'T want to address. And I'm one of them. But my life is more important then a cat dog or bird. A well trained hunting and protection dog would be an exception.

Just to add a few things for the ladies. Female sanitary products ( I have 3 teenage daughters) so literally have multipack boxes stashed away, Fungal cream for Thrush, water infections and the like (Canistan, etc) My needs as a Man and Dad are easy, but females have other needs in personal hygiene, etc. and any sort of serious infection in the ladies lower parts could cause serious complications not only to her, but also the group if it gets out of hand and serious, as antibiotics may become a problem in getting hold of. Get the products now and stash them away, much like already done with extra soap, disinfectant, toilet roll, etc. Personal cleanliness is the number 1 priority, to keep infections away when no drugs available or in very short supply.
Keep apple cider vinegar around to have in
Water to kill fungus. There are over the

Mark Plane , this may be too personal and graphic, but, as a nurse........ I am often surprised at the adult females I have the pleasure of meeting who have never been told about basic female hygiene.... please make sure your girls know to wipe front to back and never the other way.... also avoid soaps/ lotions with dyes and fragrances, and NEVER use powder “ down there”

I make my own santatizing wipes. I buy unscented baby wipes and pour a 1/4c of alcohol in the bag and a 1/4 cup of Peroxide. I carry these with me daily to clean any public bathroom I use or at church or at a friend's house.
You can also use veggie oil to make lanterns.
I come from Alaska and I used to use charcoal in my wood stove. I am going to prep that in my kit also.
Please when prepping don't forget about your personal medication. Buy the 3 month ahead kind tgat way you won't be worried about it. People who use shots and needles get extra boxes, but don't store them out in the open. If you're diabetic some mail out Rx places will let you buy supplies for 3 months to get ahead. You just need a prescription from your doctor on file.
Don't forget about your fur babies, foods and bedding for them or crates that are in good repair.
Got myself two terrocota plates and pots, turn it over and place over three small tea lights. Retains the heat and It will heat the room up in minutes. Of course elevate the pot and choose one with a hole at the bottom 😊
Also, a guitar plectrum (celluloid) you can shave this easy material to start a fire with and it lights real good.
Also, tin foil is amazing as the content stated. I watched a guy fold some around the end of a screw driver once and mould the rest into a spatula.
Dry food good to have too
Nuts
Salt
Sugar
Coffee whitner
Dry milk
Dry egg
Flour
Crackers
Cocoa
Spices.
I remember my nan telling me that food is barter if youre ever in a crisis.

If you are camping out use a table with legs that you can put in vegetable cans then fill with water. You,won't have ants getting in your food.

Manual can opener, wooden clothes pins, liquid clothes softener, bundle of wash clothes (in case you run out of toilet paper, can be washed out and reused).
I brought several bundles of wash clothes for that reason.
Don't forget the monthly feminine hygiene products. Seriously.
@Victoria Rose
Where will you get water to wash them? Better to use newspapers like we did in the 30's! Too bad Wards & Sears catalogs are not longer available!
Also, save all your containers, etc. from fast foods!
i recommend buying the totes, like rubbermaid, put your stuff in them, as you stockpile them, keep them in individual totes and mark the totes as to what is in each one. Have a tote for each item your stockpiling. make sure you date each item as you put it in to the tote and rotate even these items out. Its essential to keep it all in order and using the old first.
These are awesome ideas for both survival and bartering. So make sure your stuff is up to date and not OUT of date, especially the batteries. You should do this as well with food items. If you dont have a huge pantry or place to put things in shelves, totes work well, just again, remember to rotate out the food.
Super glue. Not only can you fix stuff, but it can be used to close wounds in emergencies.
@@dwoynemckinstry6867 yes?
Great suggestion. I've had to "glue" myself back together a time or two.
@@robertwhite1181 I prefer to keep actual wound glue on hand too. Its antiseptic in a situation like this you do NOT want an infection.
@@Anna-tc6rz I served as a Corpsman. Superglue design patent was as a surgical adhesive but was later found to have toulene, a carcinogenic substance, and is now not indicated for that purpose. I believe you would need to use it chronically to cause cancer; I have used it often in emergencies, if only to avoid going to a VA hospital. I would recommend thoroughly cleaning any wound before closing it, but superglue seems to work better on larger wounds when stitches are not available. For example, while diving in Hawaii, I was cut on coral. While multople applications of wound adhesive could not close the laceration, superglue did on the first try.
Robert White l have a medical bag it contains a lot of stuff from bandages to duct tape and liquid skin. Iodine neo. You name it it's there.grew up watching mash , that's when young. Learned a lot. Learned how to do a traciotomy, to collapsed lung. Everyone should take CPR My mom was a nurse so medical books are good to have
I personally like the contractor trash bags because they are very thick and durable, plus they are really big. One thing I find at the dollar store that I buy are the glow sticks that kids use at Halloween. Yeah, they have a shelf life and may not totally glow after a couple of years but they still give off a lot of light. And a dollar for 12 sticks is a good deal. Also I buy garden solar lights at the dollar store; they are a good reusable light source.
Marla Bullard we bought an entire box of solar lights and we use them for all our evening activities indoors! We save money on our electric bill
Place soar lights upside down (to create dark which turns light on) and place aluminum foil to reflect more light where you need it.
Yes trash bag over a tee shirt or wool shirt can save your life. They keep your body heat in. Cut arm and a slot to put your head thru.
Marla Bullard coughlan makes good 12 hour glow sticks that come in at around a buck very bright and reliable. Dollar store ones are hit or miss and very unreliable in my experience
We use cheap solar lights as night lights.

Yep, I was like God was talking to him
Got most of these covered, the one thing I will take from this and buy is the coffee filters. I have rain barrels, water purifier tablets, filter jugs and filters but coffee filters will take most particulates out and extend the manufactured filters life with very little cost. Clean drinkable water is top of my emergency list.
Yes, at the top of the list, but the hardest for me to store. :-/
Question for you... Where can I find rain barrels at? Can never find these..
@@katiemmachick383 got ours at a local garden centre, if no local stockist Amazon will have them.
You are smart, cheap & easy prefiltering is brilliant.
Tshirts make good filters. I wrapped my hot tub filter in an old Tshirt and the filter is still like brand new. Old t-shirts have many uses.
I never see anyone mention oil lamps. I have 20 of them. I also stock up on their wicks and purchased a 5 gallon metal gas can and filled it with lamp oil. Oil lamps source of head, light and even heating soup.
Oh I have them, I have done other videos on them as well, they are very handy.
One can buy "oil lamp" wicks by the yard online.....
My Grandma is still using them in the house, damn, she gets like a 30$ elec bill. lol. I favor the Coleman lanterns, that boy scout coming through.
You can use Diesel Fuel in them as well and it's much cheaper to store alot
@@jettramel I'd probably knock one over and set my house on fire!
For dried up baby wipes , don't throw away.... all u have to do is add pre mixed soapy dish water in old empty dish soap bottles. $store has great variety of small name brand dish soaps . Once empty add just enough soap to cover bottom of bottles then add warm water ,next pour Into baby wipes let sit over night. Brand new wipes again :))
I also stock up on small bottles of dish soap for multi purpose uses . I get the kind that's antibacterial and degreaser. U can also use for body wash . Another use for empty soap or tiny soda bottles is ammo storage but make sure bottles are washed and dried out. It makes it easier to barter if ammo in marked quantities :), U can even store glass balls or steel balls for slingshot
Ty hope that helps someone
$store also has box milk,beans , rice, lots of goodies for the lower income prep. Twine,clothesline and pins . Metal bowls and lunch kits with silverware etc. Mesh bags for laundry u can use 4 storage of supplies etc. Freeze dried fruits and nuts etc . Slim Jims are good bait for fishing and crabs lol . Tiny match books to huge ones. Also skewers of all shapes ,lengths and thickness. Craft containers for storing stuff.
Simple thing to do with
Dry ones, pour a little water over
Them right into the container they are in.
One thing that popped into my head: cotton twine. You can use it for all kinds of stuff, including hydroponics and making an oil lamp, making your own candles. It's cheap, strong, can be boiled to sterilize, can be waxed for use as wicks -- you get the idea. I always keep at least one ball of it around. And I'd like to see a prep kit for our pets, too, as someone else mentioned.
Why would you sterilize string?
Growing up in tornadoes alley, and living through the April 1992 Andover tornado , we always maintained at least a small supply of the basics. Preparedness is just a good idea.
Have an extra large trash can and a plunger to use as a washing machine.
anne welch: Does that really work?
I have a galvanized tub and a special plunger for hand washing clothes. I tested it out once and it really does work. But you are going to burn a lot of calories doing it. I hope I never need this stuff but YES - it does work.
Put my water clothes in the trash bag and I try it real tight with a zip tie and I have the kids roll it around step on it play a game they're doing laundry then rinse it in the second then third bag ones the first one gets nasty second becomes the wash 3rd then I add the 4th and so on five gallon bucket and clean plunger works well
@@detroitredneckdetroitredne6674 Getting fresh clean water would be the only problem !
Yes ...... the tub & plunger will work......... as long as you have the water & some detergent.... =)
anne welch that's a great idea! Nobody's mentioned doing laundry.
There is one thing that NOONE seems to think of when they make these videos. Everyday wear on clothing. Clothing will QUICKLY become scarce. How many people know how to make clothing (or cloth) anymore? Do you know how to use or build a loom, a cotton gin, a spindle, or sheep shears? May want to add some needles, thread, patches, and a bolt or two of cloth if you arent bugging out to a nudist colony.
Flannel sheets from goodwill old drapes large used dungarees etc make great fabric ... sheets to make pjs
I took a semester of sewing in High School but I still can't sew but I can darn a pair of socks and hem up a pair of pants.
Good point.
And heroin too
You will also want to learn how to build a cell phone manufacturing facility. Also, brush up on your auto making skills, as both of these items will probably be in short supply. Lol
zip ties can also be used for emergency handcuffs!
I have all this plus more. Stocking up for long time and my kids thought I was nuts. Not anymore.
You are a very wise man who is really helping so many people who should really really follow you because I know about prepping for a natural disaster or a non-natural disaster. I've taken natural disaster classes at the junior college level and at UC Irvine too and everything that you are telling others to keep in their bug out bags and their more permanent survival kits are 100% right on!

The toilet paper part!! Lol
2020. It's only a drill. Practice for the next time.
I just watched it but I don’t worry. Been prepared for years. Each summer we eat through our preps and refresh in sept and through the fall when many canned and dry items are on sale. This Jan I kicked up our pantry and we good till the end of the year, inc the tp part. I warned my family in mid feb when I was more sure. Yep. They blew me off and laughed with sarcasm....at first. Then they began to get ready. But they had to go out every day. Idk. I had told them they may not worry about the cvirus but what happens when the stores are empty? Well guess the hell what? Six weeks later and shelves are still empty of many needful products and they are predicting food shortage because the production part has been hit with illness. Ea month I continue to add or replace what we have. Once this is past, I’ll do as we do every single year. We eat through it all in the take inventory to restock with fresh goods.
I've been prepping for years. I had everything I needed including masks. I had a dozen on hand for an emergency where there might be a fire or explosion with nasty particulates in the air. I thought about an epidemic but it seemed like a low probability. Little did I know that N95s would be vital.
I made a survival kit after hurricane Katrina and still have it!! I need to add some of the items ge shown but over have pretty much everything.
Something for you all to consider. When we had a blackout in my area years ago it went on for several days. D cells, AA, and AAA cells were gone in no time. C cells were still to be found on the shelves. Maybe get flashlights and radios that use C cells to keep in your supply.
olive oil can be used as fuel for lanterns. In a emergency I've made torches with vegetable oil but the smell is not good. Cheap olive oil burns almost without smell.
Haxy Quinn ..thanks good to know.
In some instances, u may not want smell to disclose ur whereabouts!
@@katbunn957 Sure that's why i said olive oil is better. But in an emergency anything goes :3 I
I have been told tho that olive oil has a short shelf life and once opened even a shorter one....not sure but maybe ck it out before stocking up?
Still if you stock them, and then they go bad, you can still use the oil for lanterns. So stock away!

Yep my kids thought I was nuts about stocking up these years. That was until the virus started and they weren't able to find simple supplies that they came to dad for. Now they started to prepare.
I have always had stock of all food items and things like this. The only thing l didn't have were the ties. I never use them. But its nice to be reminded and assured that l am ready for any disaster. For food l like to ensure l have canned goods because if water is a problem those foods come with liquid.
Coffee filters can also be used for toilet paper...not soft but they get the job done.
I did that today. First I sqauashed them well in my fist. Made them softer!
Although they’re not biodegradable and may disrupt your septic system or the public sewer system so I wouldn’t recommend flushing them

You may not have kids but a deck of cards 🎴 is a great trade item to people with kids and adults to distract them from thinking about what has happened! It helps kill time! You don’t necessarily end up in a situation suitable for camping ⛺️ such as Katrina!

Fire starter= cotton balls soaked in petroleum jelly! I saw a hiker use this method several times on video. He carries a Ziploc bag full of these cotton balls and he puts a couple under kindling wood and lights them with a match or lighter. They burn very hot and the flame lasts long enough to ignite the kindling. At the dollar store, a box of baggies, a bag of cotton balls and a jar of petroleum jelly will cost $3!
