My wife and I made the decision a few months ago to live the traditional family life. I have three jobs while she stays home to watch over the garden, chickens, and house. It's been working out great! She's been churning out quarts of fresh tomato sauce and veggies like it's going out of style. We go to Dollar General on Saturdays to take advantage of the $5 off when you $25 or more. So, we get $25-$30 worth of pasta and put it away in storage. We also work at the family deer processing store during deer season. Each of our limits are 12 deer...so, that's 24 deer-worth of meat which goes into the freezer for the year. She's beginning to understand the concept that growing your own food is almost like printing money. Actually, with the price of fresh food today it's more valuable than money.
Bless Ya’ll!
Good for you! I keep saying that it *can* be done and you're proof. Bravo!
Outstanding!
It's almost like we were designed to function that way. 😉 Traditional ways stand the test of time.
Wow, really nice job! I’m happy to read this!

My heart shatters for America.
Tears come to my eyes, as I read your comment.
You can darn sure try to prepare.
Not trying is not acceptable.
The negative mindset guarantees you will not survive.
Our ancestors survived, even thrived, or we wouldn’t be here.
Every single day we should ask ourselves, “What resources do I have available to me today? What resources will I need tomorrow? What resources will I need in 3, 6 or 12 months? How can I meet those needs?”
Always being preparedness minded.

Plan, Prep, Pray and Pray some more. Without ceasing.

Wisdom and discernment is key! The Father is happy to grant you wisdom, liberally!
Nothing is the Same Steve" anymore, in the Country I grew up in the 60's-70s... Everything is Bizarre " Now to say the Least...
AMEN .
👍🏻
Got that right!😢
My wife used to think I was a little nuts. Then came the great toilet paper shortage of 2020. We had plenty stocked in the basement. Now she is far less critical of my prepper mindfulness. Before I retired from as a DoD civilian employee, I had a sign on my cube wall. "Those the say something cannot be done, should not interrupt the person doing it". Just joined your Patron group. See you over there.
Outstanding! Welcome!👍🏻
My friends and family looked at me like I was nuts. When shtf hit and there was a shortage of most essential goods, I was blessed enough to give toilet paper, paper towels, wet wipes, and other goods to my coworkers and family. They don’t look at me like I’m nuts anymore. They actually ask for advice with prepping now. I give out prepping gifts for Christmas (fun gifts too) but they enjoy the gifts because it’s stuff they’ve never thought of.
Oh for sure. This country is unrecognizable these days. Even other countries see this.
It’s disappointing when I hear the “you’re being stupid” or “there is nothing you can do about it”, and it’s from my own brother. But, we still help him. Every Xmas and birthday gift we send him is a prep item. I’m sure he will appreciate it, but still know it will not be enough for him.
Thanks Steve!
Thanks Diggin.
I have an older brother that has started being more prepared after giving him prep type items as gifts.
My family make 'bunker' jokes, and they don't know even half of what I have. Hubby and I eat keto/carnivore, but I've stocked rice, beans, flour, pasta, sugar, honey, dried fruits, etc. We also have lots of fruit trees and berry bushes on our little urban patch, have most of our yard in veggie beds, and have chickens. I've got dehydrated and canned foods as well as store bought. Not a day goes by that I don't do something to improve our preparedness position, even if it's only adding recipes and instructions to my recipe books and manuals. (I'm expecting my grandchildren will need these one day. We've also installed a wood stove even though we have a heat pump and solar panels. We have ebikes and normal bikes, and I've bought new sneakers, underwear etc. Neither of us take any medication and we're working at keeping it that way! Don't stop people!
Outstanding!👍🏻
I’m in a You Tube bookclub put on by Suttons Daze on Thursday evenings. We are all preppers and do canning and food preservation for our pantries. Our July book is THE REVERSION. I have started reading it as has others. I love it. Thanks so much for writing it
Thanks, Jan! I'm glad you're enjoying it and hope your group does too!👍🏻
Good is now evil and evil is good
Yep.
Thank you, Steve.❤You are one of my 3 go to preparednessed minded channels. Just finished your first book. You are a calm, Godly man. Kelly is a blessed woman. So are your children. I so wish I could go to the gathering. Unfortunately, it conflicts with another function I am committed to. I like your scripture reading, too. God bless y'all.❤Prep, 🙏 pray, and hope for the best!
And God bless you and yours.
Id like to see you and travis from prepared homestead do an video together, that would be epic!
👍🏻
It's amazing how we have all the information and power on our fingertips and we (not me or preppers but a large majority of people) are so woefully uninformed of a potential civilizational collapse. Even worse, not even bothering to prepare in any form or capacity incase something like an EMP happens.
👍🏻
They cannot let go of their white knuckle grip on comfort...😢
What a quote. This conversation reminds me of the Decay of Politics. It starts with a strong leader, who over time is turned into a tyrant. The tyranny is taken over be the few, who become greedy and fracture into factions. The factions lead to the government of a Republic (the most perfect of the stages and where we find ourselves in,) but this Republic corrupts into a democracy (which classically and conservatively is a bad thing.) finally, this democracy collapses into anarchy which gives rise to the aforementioned strong leader, and the cycle continues. We have the misfortune of living in a nation that is transitioning into a new form of governance. Some changes occur painlessly, however, ours I do not believe will be so lucky. Good discourse and videos! On to the next one as I have a few to catch up on.
Great series can’t wait for book 7 and the upcoming battle coming to Stonemont I also like how you and your family are main characters. Keep up the great work
Thank you!👍🏻
Everyone who prepares, should create a 3 ring binder for the rest of the family/MAG that allows them to proceed in your absence. I have a three ring binder with 14 sections: PrePlanning, Day 1 Action Items, Food, Water, Shelter, Security, Medical, Communications, Hygiene, Transportation, Energy, Community, Team Morale, BUGOUT (Last Resort). These sections are customed to my situation. Then delegate these sections to team, for example, my 28 year old 10th Mt. VET is my Security chief. He already over rode my initial plan of 3 man perimeter patrols that I wrote up, and replaced it with DRONE surveillance. My 30 year old Marine VET son is on Water and Energy. Those who fail to plan, plan to fail.
👍🏻
You are so right on I listen to you every day please keep up the good work
Thanks Robert!
Thanks Steve, you're awesome.
😄👍🏻
“Don’t wanna live in a world like that”
I’m steadily building up my long term stock and I’m lucky that I have a fairly unique skill set. I’ll be just fine, in fact I plan to prosper. I have beans and bandages. I can trade my abilities to barter. I don’t want to live in a dystopian apocalypse but I certainly won’t settle for giving up. God gave me this life to live and I’m planning on being here till my time runs out and I plan on living well.
I agree with you, wish we could come to the July gathering but we just don’t have the money
If you were to have a pallet of just rice and beans (64 5-gallon buckets), then two people could have two 8oz "cooked" meals a day for seven years. Not ideal, but you can build around it. Add canned meats, coffee, tea, sugar. 5-gallon buckets of rolled oats are cheap. Point being is that you could dedicate one room in your house, then you could survive a collapse and eat better than 99% of the rest. There's a lot more to it, but you don't need a warehouse and a million dollars to survive.
Exactly right.
another good video. you were right about the light at the end of the tunnel, being a train coming right at us similar to our society being the bridge that the shipping container ran into in Baltimore. no excuse for not following the Boy Scout motto. Be prepared.
👍🏻
Prepping is always a good idea in good times and bad. You should always be prepared. However, not enough is said about knowing your neighbor before something happens. This is important because guess who is knocking at your door. You can even start a plan with neighbors as to what can be done if something happens. This is reality
👍🏻
I’ve put food and other supplies away for some of my neighbors. A couple are elderly and they live on a budget. Some of my other neighbors, won’t get anything from me.
For the past ten years or more there have been countless people saying to get prepared. Most people would have been prepared by now if they would have been doing what they were advised as in just add one or two extra cans each time you get groceries. I know painfully well that there are some people who really can't do it but they are so much the exception and not the rule.
Very true.
Love it, man, and thanks for the heads up on the sleeping bag deal from Amazon on that last video. I jumped on that.
Excellent!👍🏻
I say do your best and let God handle the rest.
On Wings Like Eagles
Can’t wait to see if the Antlered One catches up with the wannabe Caliph.

Been here since 2000 subs. Every time I check this channel it seems like the sub count just keeps going up and up. More people are waking up in droves
If you can, watch the latest Tucker interview with Congressman Thomas Massie. The whole interview is great, but the last third is where Massie describes the "Stonemont" life he has built in KY. He is a really an impressive human being.
I'll check it out.👍🏻

I would appreciate ideas about water. I live in town so a well would really need to been done under the radar of local government. I also live very close to the Gulf of Mexico. I feel like water is an area where I'm the weakest, at this point of my preps.
Have you done an assessment of your area? Frankly the idea of water storage is out of the picture for any long term situation. It’s good to store water certainly but once it’s gone…
Where are your water sources? What is the precipitation throughout the year? A hand pump well is optimal: No power required. But you’ll have to dig a well. Water is definitely an absolute necessity. And not just for drinking. If storage is your only option at this time, then store. Transport of water is difficult and labor intensive. Best to have a source near home.
Buy as much as you can. Also, rain barrels
I live downtown in a city and the best I can figure is to invest in water filters - a couple different kinds
If you don't have a well or can get to a place with a well, then rain catchment and water filtration system is next best. Keep storing, for when it's dry.
Perhaps a large cistern in your basement to store rain water. I have an Amish friend who has a hand pump attached to the cistern in the basement. They also collect water from every roof top! Even the chicken coop! 😊
Being Carnivore, I like to listen to Dr. Ken Berry & he often refers to beans, rice, pasta, etc. as starvation food. Do I store it? I know I'm at three years right now & if it makes my rabbit, goat, chicken etc. go further, you know I'll be eating it.
Right!
Ha brother… Wayne Spencer here… waiting with bated breath for a movie series… trilogy… mini-series… Amazon series like Jack Carr’s Terminal List… I am sure it would be a great hit… Kevin Costner could be Wyatt❤
LOL! He'd be a good one!
Good stuff
Preppers are idiots until you need their help 😮 now that's a t shirt.
Excellent!
I’d like to suggest a topic that is not discussed and that is the cathartic effect or instigation of inaction that “prepper” videos induce.
I believe that after one hears a concurrent viewpoint the individual is satisfied to know they’re right . The anxiety is satiated and it’s back to the path of least resistance. There is definitely a discipline involved to pursue an endeavor that one may perceive has no or little immediate gratification. I suppose that’s where mindset feeds that perception of reward.
Anyway- good to hear sound observation on a subject which we have no real experience or frame of reference!
That's an important topic.
steve i dont know if i told you that i have type2 diabetes and when our economy collapses i will have to live without my medications and not being able to check my blood sugar due to no test strips its going to be hard but i think i will make it my mom and i have and grow green types of vegetables i can eat i just dont know how my body will react to not having metformin to manage blood sugar but i truly hope i make it without medication
I'm not giving medical advice here, but I would suggest you watch some videos by Dr. Ken Barry and Dr. Anthoney Chaffee about using the carnivore diet to address diabetes. Good luck.
Yes! Try and heal yourself from diabetes. It’s totally doable. Needs commitment but so does medication.
When you were talking about people making fun of people, That's 90$ of the democrats 😮
wow, that’s a lot of rules for the comments section!
i now have a PhD in integrative preparedness commenting.
Nothing but common courtesy. It's a shame that I have to explain it.
@@integrativepreparedness9427Just like in your book with the Golden Rule.
@@jerichofawkes1911 Exactly right, Jericho.👍🏻
This is why I do not have a channel. To many aholes.
They're not really any bother. Since I don't often deal with rude, ignorant people, they help me remember that they're out there!
It's possible. Highly doubtful. It would be more likely the cities could become problematic. It may be a slow economic strangulation, rather than a sudden collapse. ?
What is highly doubtful?
The past unpleasantness taught me that empty shelves at Walmart is highly possible and severely problematic. I did fine but I went to the store to get cheap hot dogs because my dogs expect them for dessert.
They did without.
The entire meat shelf was probably 50 feet of totally empty shelves. If that lasted more than a couple days the collapse would gain legs very rapidly in a snowball effect.
@@integrativepreparedness9427'a total collapse'. A reduction of abundance will increase. The destruction of a complex consumer driven society will be difficult for a large portion of the populace. It should be interesting. The government may wield a heavier hand as things progress.
What is a CME?
A Coronal Mass Ejection. It's what my books are about.
It’s 106 where I live. If the AC goes out I’m going to melt. I won’t make it. I’ll heat stroke out.
Better get a fan!
