Freeze dryer is the best purchase I've made. It's pricey, but so worth it if you can afford it.
That would be my one item in my list of things to get
The 'Best Buy" date is NOT the "Go Bad" date. Canned good are good for seven years or more past the Best Buy date. That date is there basically to get consumers that throw out their food and buy more. No one should be heading to the store when the SHTF starts...way too dangerous... you should already have everything. Love your channel!
Truth. YOu can say that again
Except pineapple and tomatoes. Keep eye on them.
Time buys you options. Baby wipes for hygiene are essential and saves water.
Ezee tablets... compressed tabs... take less space... easy to carry, transfer, share... very little water needed
Tire plugs and sealant. Tires will get punctures. Tire plugs are cheap, stable, and compact.
Gasoline will be a scarce source, especially the longer shtf lasts
Tire plugs...have tractor...had a good supply...need to replace them....tires do have problems!!!
Different size sewing needles and thread. Patches for holes, tears and making clothes. Shoe glue.
Now that's a good list!
Young people don’t know how to sew .
I already had cash ready in my "prep fund" to go out and buy the last minute things like fresh gas, and other items that are best left till last minute. I casually walked through Costco loading my cart with meat and other items and laughed at the folks fighting over the bottled water and toilet paper.
For money I keep:
Get home fund - $300 hidden in wallet.
ATM fund - 20 of each denomination of bill $3720 - Use for times you can't get to the bank.
Prep fund - same as ATM fund - Use to get last minute supplies.
SHTF fund - 100 of each denomination - Use as long as cash will go once everything breaks down.
Gold and silver - Use when cash no longer works.
Best thing I ever did was learn how to cook meat. I’ve got canned chicken breast and thighs for chicken salad, soup, casseroles… I have beef stew for beef and noodles, roast beef sandwiches, or just stew… I have pork shoulder canned for bbq pork or pork on pasta … I’ve got canned salmon that I processed for salmon patties, salmon burgers, salmon on salads, salmon in yummy pasta… I made meatloaf in canning jars. Just pop it open and heat it up and make some mashed potatoes from my instant potatoes and maybe another side….
Excellent stuff.
How long can the meat last in canning jars???
Yes! Canned meat is so underrated. Canned chicken makes the best chicken salad. Beef for stews and ground hamburger. I wish more people didn't snub their noses at home canned meat.
SAFT lithium batteries are used in aeronautical beacons. They have a 10 year life but simply DO NOT LEAK.
Your brand name alkaline batteries may say they won't leak, but around 8 years they often do.
Before inserting batteries, put dielectric grease ("brake grease") on the terminals and springs. The usually protects them when batteries do leak.
FYI: lithium batteries have been known to burst into flames.
SOAP: I go to craft stores and buy a block of soap intended for melt and pour soap making. You don't HAVE to melt and pour it, just cut a chunk off. I love the goat's milk soap, lots of rich lather. And those big flat cubes are in a plastic 'case' that you can stack right up.
Brilliant.
@@kathymcmc And it's really lovely soap. You could melt and pour it with the scents and color if you wanted to. I order from Branmbleberry. You only use a few drops, and the molds are nice. Or, you could line a shoebox with wax paper or something like that and cut it when it cools. Someday, I'm going to get the supplies to make soap from scratch like Granny Clampett. LOL!
Don’t forget shampoo and conditioner.
Great idea!
@@jessicapabon2105 Thank you! My other idea people tend not to think of is to go peruse the sale - it's often 70-percent off - tables at JoAnn's Fabric. I don't care if the polar fleece is ugly if I'm folding it around a dog bed for example. I get tulle (often really, really ugly, like pink hippos with tutu's on...LOL), and drape it over plants in the garden. Birds like to pull up my bean plants when they first come up. Birds also like my strawberries, and young plants I make a couple wire hoops and tuck the tulle in so slugs can't eat that little plant overnight. Extra blankets made from on sale polar fleece are super-duper. They wash and dry so easily.
I’m from Argentina, lived thru the 2001 crisis. Lived thru the 1989 hyperinflation also. It was no where near a shtf scenario. I’m guessing the authors of that book used a lot of creative writing in order to sell books. 😮
We have a spare bedroom that we call our grocery store!!
Same here .. less need for panic in an emergency
Keep the curtains closed and keep it cool. Don't forget to set mouse traps.
Excellent.
No you don't shhh lol,I have nothing after the boating accident, lost everything 😭😭
Great idea!
SUPERMARKETS & BIG RETAILERS (Walmart) WILL BE SWARMED if SHTF. Best to go to secondary suppliers: Dollar stores, gas station convenience stores, pharmacies. These places also sell needed items: quick food (Slim Jim meat sticks, beef jerky, bottled water), first aid supplies & OTC medicines, canned foods, and fire starters (zip lighters, BBQ charcoal lighter, etc.).
Good idea 😊🙌
I prep so I don’t need to go to the store at the last minute but if it’s not swarmed I’m probably hitting the hardware store if I’m already out and about.
Every store will be swarmed.
@@billsedutto8824 That, and the ranch store are the only places I would go. But oh my, that will be expensive: basic fasteners, tarps, plastic sheeting, feed, small engine batteries...
I won't have to go to the store
restaurant supply stores are far less known about by many. sam's club, costco, walmart, and major stores will all have a run first. the restaurant supply stores will have bulk items including lots and lots of number 10 cans of various foods (wont be freeze dried will be just canned goods in number 10 can size because restaurants deal in bulk). 50 pound bags of rice/beans and lots of powders for making jello/pudding/powder milk and such.
got at least one here in my city and sometimes go there for things i use alot anyway may as well for the cheaper price going bulk.
GFS or the catering supply stores. case quatities of chafing fuel, bulk meat quantities in 5's of pounds....you get the idea.
Something else to consider is a stock of supplies for building and/or reinforcing doors windows ect.. I have started keeping stock of plywood, 2x4's, 4x4s, nails/screws, fully charged batteries for my hand tools, sheet metal ect... Could be pretty handy for both natural disaster and civil unrest situations to protect your home... and you have stock if you every get inspired for a project lol
Set yourself up with a hobbyist level solar set up and you can charge those batteries for a year or three.
You never know when they'll be needed. Most of my garden shed came from things I had tucked back, otherwise I probably would not have built it. I can't say I use many nails, but the price of good quality screws is eye-opening. And they're a necessity.
I’m a 62 year old nurse with a disabled husband. I have been trying to prep for several years and have a good start. With home security I now have outside video cameras and window and door alarms. I have inside cameras mainly to check on husband while working. I know that if we need to board up our home I would want to cover and blackout windows and doors which may or may to be easy for me without my husband’s help. I also thought of after boarding up non essential doors and windows about moving heavy/tall furniture in front of them. Thoughts about this?
@@texiannekitzke1440 even a few 2x4s across the interior of your doors would help. As far as plywood covering your windows, that’s obviously much more labor/planning and storage of the wood. Remember your not building a fortress for now, just a residence a bit more difficult to bust into than that of your neighbor’s house
One guy i listened to suggested precutting and drilling the plywood, numbering it, having screws (harder to get out than nails), and having it around before needed. Sure would save a lot of stress and scrambling around. Also, may not have power at the time of crisis to cut the boards. @texiannekitzke1440
We had moved in 2019 so in early March 2020 before the lockdown I went to close my old local bank account in NYC that had a little bit of money in it. A lot of people waiting in line when the manager came out and announced there would be a withdrawal limit of $500 per person. Thankfully I just needed a cashiers check but that was still a very scary situation to be in. Had my eyes on the door and was ready to bug out of there at the first sign of a panic which thankfully didn’t happen. 😮💨
Sir, I am 61 years old and as a little girl my mom made me watch Dr. Zivago. These disgusting demonstrations are the beginning scenes to the demise. I was haunted by the bombs and the tragic scenes never left me. Now I live what's coming. I am a Christian.
I was just thinking about that movie the other day
Very important discussion everyone should be having
Love listening to your videos; so helpful. When it comes to first aid I cannot stress ENOUGH that you may think you have enough bandages on hand. Trust me, you don't! My husband had a burn on his bottom from a hot pad he was using for an injury. He normally uses a heated massage pad for his back and he is fully clothed when he uses it. One evening he wore his tidy whities and no jeans like normal. He nodded off and got a burn on his bottom. He didn't realize it for a few days ... hmmm! Anyway, he asked me to look at his backside because something wasn't right. Well, he had a half-dollar sized burn on his right cheek and the skin was peeling off. I had some gauze pads on hand but I did not have a lot. Over the course of a few weeks, daily changes of these pads using medical tape, medical grade honey, sterilized saline and patience, his burn healed. I went through all the things I had on hand and this was only one small burn. Needless to say, I now have a much larger supply but I suggest having a dedicated closet or space in your home just for medical supplies including blood stop, staples and staple gun, medical grade honey (Medihoney), medical tape and so many other things. It's a rabbit hole but think of all the things that can happen that you would depend on a hospital or emergency room ... buy them. Crutches, tourniquets, etc.
Not forgetting crutches etc. and a wheelchair, bed pans...
We should also consider storing old white sheets that have been bleached and cleaned, and put away in plastic bags. These can be cut in strips and used as bandages, and in worst case scenario, they can be boiled and cleaned and reused. They can also be used as Feminine pads.
Great video as always! As a young girl in grade school, I read Hatchet by Gary Paulsen. I recommend it for kids because it’s a story about a young boy’s survival and all he had was a hatchet. A very entertaining survival story that has a good chance of holding their attention now, or to have on hand for them when SHTF. I remember asking my Dad for a hatchet after I read it. I had both my daughters read it.
Great book! Just bought my grandson a copy!
Never read that one, but I recommend "My side of the mountain"
Did you read the 3 sequels to Hatchet?
@@run-a-milekyle3835 No, I didn’t know there was three😱! I remember reading the second one where he had to make a makeshift raft…if I remember right?
@@gordontyree4308 That’s awesome! I hope he likes it, it had good survival ideas.
Candles should only be used indoors inside glass globes of some sort
Thanks for reminding me. I've got tall candles in jars, and kerosene lanterns (w/extra everything), but I keep forgetting to buy a bunch of those "LuciLites"
Or a glass jar
If you’re concerned about toilet paper it’s a good idea to get a bidet that attaches to a toilet as a backup plan. They also make caps for water bottles that you can use on the go no pun intended.
we had an outhouse when I was growing up and believe me you get used to using the Yellow Pages for wipes REAL FAST however I'm not sure if they are still available ! there are a lot of different companies making hikers bidets that screw perfectly on Smart Water bottles and from experience they work great 👍
Make cloth bum wipes
Lamb's ear or mullein make great t.p.
Worked at Walmart Sporting Good in Florida when 911 happened. I sold out of most all ammo and most rifles before the end of m shift. When you hear it, get it!
Why? Nobody needed ammo never in the last 150 years in the US or in any industrialized country in the last 150 years. Why the f*** should you buy ammo in case of a crisis? Buy tools, candles, gas, food, bottled water, warm clothes,...
I also keep al my prepper supplies on a spreadsheet. Each box of food are marked box number xyz and what is in each box. This way it's easier to find what food or supplies are in each box. For other supplies like ammo I keep a running update of those supplies. The use of an Excel spreadsheet makes updates much easier to make changes.
I do the same, I have everything in a paper notepad organizer with tabs written in pencil with dates, times, and usage if used, and all my totes and storage are labeled. Makes things much easier when you are rotating stock and looking for something. I also have a page in the front for things I used and need to replace or get more of. I agree with you on this 100% keeping organized is very important.
Hope you have a hard copy of spreadsheet 😊
@@luannoneal2732 I was thinking the same unless you have a portable, fully charged battery for your laptop. And extra fully charged battery packs on hand. I carry a small charger in my purse when I'm going to be away from home for a while, to recharge my phone. KEEP THE CHARGER CHARGED!
Wear a kevlar balaclava. Protects your neck and face from spalling. Also available as just collar protectors. Not expensive.
For many years I did what I could, when I could. When I got serious I realized that keeping an inventory in 3 ways was necessary: in my head, in a notebook, and on the computer. It took years of slow accumulation and steady work to feel somewhat ready for what I called my Top 10. I always planned for one last store run, filling deficiencies. I think I'm finally close enough to not needing to take that risk if things go that badly in an instant.
I do not think time will "stand still" at all. I think we'll be very busy even after the initial stages are past. We're not going to spend the evenings putting together puzzles or playing Chutes 'n Ladders with the kids. Get things for yours to occupy them, of course. In a typical household someone will have to be awake at all times, you'll all have more to do than possible each day and the night person will still need to do more than keep watch.
You have a truly valid point. But people are NOT thinking like you. They believe that people who need food or medical care will die quietly at home.
Buy a little ice cream it tastes good you don’t know when you’ll get it again and people will hardly think you’re a master prepper if that’s what you’re buying.
One thing many don’t have enough of is bandaging material. Hospitals may very well be very over crowded, and a fairly bad wound will use many 4x4s etc, plus they have to be changed out in time. Sterile pads against wound, cheaper non sterile to absorb “overflow” from wound. Antibiotic ointment. Can’t have too much and super cheap on Amazon etc. Roll gauze, compression bandaging (Vet Wrap cheaper), steri strips (you may not be as good at stitching as Rambo lol ) .
Refuge Medical has a ‘Wound Bucket’ that’s a perfect prep for this. Basically a 5-gallon bucket packed with gauze, medical tape, gloves, peroxide, etc.
One good bandage for larger wounds are woman sanitary napkins! Most are individually wrapped wrapped and have good absorption. You can secure them with any kind of tape. I have used them in a pinch for human and animal needs.
@@-SonZetta- A great product from a great company. Remember: that "Wound Bucket" is singular, it doesn't say "Wounds". Expect to use it all if someone has a serious injury.
@@carolbartlett4930 And apparently it's now normal for men to have periods, who'd a thunk it? So men don't have to do the walk of shame alone!🤣
not forgetting crutches, wheelchairs and bedpans etc...
I would have a stash of small glass bottles of liquor. Use for barter, and they last indefinitely.
tobacco with rolling papers and any brand of cigarettes even stale people will barter you
In a panic-buy, the very last place you will want to be anywhere near is a liquor or tobacco retailer. I don't believe in buying vices to barter with addicts, any kind of addict. My alcohol and tobacco are for me, ammo is another thing I don't store for barter away. It just lets the wrong people know that you have what they need.
@@hanskloss1331 Why on earth lay out money for stuff YOU don't need? Spend that money on your own needs. If you really, really, really want to go into preparing for a barter economy you need to start with some 90% silver US coins because there will be an interval when they still have value for trade. Longer in, food, medicines and seeds will be worth more than silver.
@@feoxorus
Never barter using bullets for your end
great idea
Another good one Don! Here's hoping we don't need this stuff but there's a lot of peace of mind in knowing you're all set!
1/2 inch fiberglass can be bought in 4 foot by 8 foot sheets. Use a skill saw to cut it into bullet proof plates for your vest. I tested the left overs from a job where it was used to line a judges office. One layer stopped 9 mm ball ammo. Two layers stopped 5.56 mm nato. Three layers stopped 7.62 mm nato.
It can be used as a shield in your house or draped over the seat in your car or hung on the door panels
You might also consider slipping a panel in you child’s backpack or your backpack. I would also recommend coating it with something like bed liner.
wool blankets
not in calif! but you are correct! and thick socks
I always think about fires in collapse type situations. Strong EMPs start fires, there are wild fires, people cooking and heating homes start fires, and people use fire as a weapon.
And something like a pandemic or government insolvency would shut down the fire department…
Me too. And it is not discussed often enough.
This is a great episode. I'm about to be on vacation out of state visiting relatives all summer long, and you are reminding me of things that I need to carry with me in my vehicle. Thanks, Sootch00
The 1# dispoable propane bottles are not safe. The valve in them is just a rubber ball. Any grit can cause a leak. You can stop this by putting brass caps on them, about $2 each in camping stores or online.
Always need a reminder of the things I need to keep up to date.👍🏻🇦🇺
I live in NORTHERN Illinois, I just transplanted my vegetables this weekend.
15:07 "First off is food.. " and then he immediately burps! 🤣
Down to the last round? I may be down to the last few cases as a prompt to restock.
As for the 'bug out' concept, ask yourself, 'Can I realistically go anywhere?'. Prepare to defend the homestead.
Against who? Tell me one disaster or crisis in the last 200 years in North America, Europe or developed Asia where you needed to defend your homestead (and had a chance because you didn't try to do it against an overwhelming military equiped and trained force that just blasted you away with tanks or artillery If you tried). Economic crisis? Great Depression? No. End of WWII in Europe? No. Great famine in Ireland? No. Collapse of the Sovjet Union? No. Civil War in the US? No. Ukrainian War today? No. Great Inflation especially in Germany? No. Tsunami in Thailand and in Japan? No. Earthquake in Turkey? No. Earthquake in Afghanistan, Pakistan, China, India, ...? No. Exploding vulcanos in Indonesia? No. Mount St. Helen? No.
Mankind was not successful with lone wolf mentality. It was successful with cooperation and handling every crisis together. If you try to make or for yourself - you are prepared to fail. You are neither efficient nor effective enough, to make it alone or in a small team/group. And this Not only for the last 50 years or 150 years but 10.000 years.
SEEDS: Just yesterday, I googled which of my varieties are open pollinated - more than I thought. Sometimes (usually) it doesn't say it on the package. I was pleasantly surprised. With that said, my favorite corn is, of course, a hybrid. Every year I try a different open pollinated variety, and still haven't found a favorite, but if worse came to worse, I'd plant seeds saved from those. I'm going to start vacuum sealing some, as opposed to putting seeds I save in envelopes and putting them in the shed for the winter. Do not put them in something like an old popcorn tin, when the weather warmed up, condensation turned everything in there moldy.
During Covid, we found canning jars/lids in unusual places, Amish stores, Tractor supply had a little stash of new jars by the tarps of all places.....LOL. I've always canned, 40+ years, but now have an even larger inventory of canning supplies.
I'm a huge canner also. I feel for new canners having to start from scratch for supplies because they've gotten so expensive.
I have that book. I can say it really is a good book about what really happened instead of some prepper arm chair speculation. Everyone should have a copy. I loved the part about learning how to use the car to roll the carjackers between your car and a parked car to save your life.
The gas cans lesson in the beginning is important. You don't need to be super quick or super diligent to outpace other people. Just be there one day early and you're fine, almost everybody else will be clueless and late.
'' Last item I am going to grab'' My neighbor"s wife. . LOL
The book and movie “The Road” is probably the most realistic view of what surviving a true long-term SHTF scenario would be like. Not even wildlife to eat, fires have swept through everywhere, and the guy finds ammo, but he doesn’t have the right gun for it…
Choose what you're going to use for a Faraday Cage. Place your phone inside it, and close it up. Use a different phone and try to call yours; if your phone doesn't ring, then your cage is likely valid. But you cannot have your items touching the metal. You're gonna have to put a barrier in there.
There are several CZcams videos about making them; but you can also look on the military websites, they probably have some instructions for making something workable.
Lots of talk about water….speaking from experience, if there is no water (municipal source) and you are in a very cold area or freak winter storm, all those rain barrels will be frozen and if it’s a regional issue it still takes days to get water brought in. Also consider livestock. It takes a lot of water for cows and horses….if you are on a municipal source and it’s cut off that is a huge problem. We learned a lot last winter when our municipal source was shut off as well as surrounding areas for over a week.
If there is a loss of city water, one thing people seem to overlook is stored water for the toilet. Probably two flushes a day? 4 gallons just for that!
What did you learn? We are on town water and live near the water source but believe it will be monitored, stopping people from just driving up and trying to take buckets of it out of the lake. Please share your experience.
@@jessicasarmy8896So many things….the biggest was how people reacted and behaved. (Entitled, demanding and angry). I can’t imagine how bad it will get in a real SHTF scenario. We had plenty of stored bottled water but most didn’t. (And we decided we needed to store more after this incident). Elderly neighbors were not prepared either so we assisted them in their needs. We had an IBC tote in the shop (non climate control) so it was partially frozen. We thawed it enough to break through and syphon water out for the horses, turkeys and chickens. We will insulate it this winter and purchase a second tote. Rain barrels were frozen solid.
We developed a system for washing dishes with minimal water as well as using disposable plates/bowls. Laundry and bathing were the biggest issues with 6 in the house. In a true grid down we are not set up for winter laundry. Drove to a friend’s in a neighboring county on well water to wash a couple loads. For bathing we just heated a pot of water and sponged bathed the important parts and hubby showered at work.
We are moving next year and will definitely be getting a property with a well again and will get set up for off grid laundry. Of course we had to be very cautious of toilets and tried to only flush once in the morning and once in the evening. It takes a lot to flush! By day 5 someone brought in a tanker of non potable water so we filled up buckets and used that for the toilets. We did utilize a bucket and pine shavings too.
We chose our food more wisely…no big pots of water for pasta.
It is definitely much harder to keep things clean. Simple things like wiping down a counter top take on a whole new meaning.
We still had electricity for most of that time.
@@jessicasarmy8896also, when the city started handing out cases of water (day 3 or 4) they recorded your address and only allowed a certain amount each day. A local church brought in a truck load at one point. They didn’t ask any questions and said to take as much as we needed.
@@kgrey7 thank you for sharing your experience. Lots of people are clueless even with what happened with the plandemic but we had a dry run there and now know to bulk up so we are in a better starting position. 👍
From all the reading and watching films etc I figure as soon as it becomes clear of what’s going on my belief is to make sure you have cash on hand to begin with but to get to stores right then or gas only bc I believe that after that others will realize what’s going on and will deplete what’s there or they will wait and see who goes to the stores etc and follow you or if you’re alone which I don’t advise and take what they want or kill you
Agreed. I made a list of what to get and from where. Depending on who is home at the time, everyone gets assigned a task/list. There are duplicates on the list, so if one person doesn't get "canned meat" where they were sent, there is the possibility that one of the others will. I have my preps, but if I see that things are going down, I want every last bit I can get.
I’ll tell you where I’m not going in SHTF: gas stations, ATMs and supermarkets.
The like to have a note on my phone prioritizing what I desperately need and what I could use more of. It’s a revolving door.
Example: I just got into .300 blackout and so my ammo list is that plus .44mag. The other calibers I’m ok on relatively speaking.
I need to use up formula for my granddaughter who’s about to outgrow it but need a bunch of stage 3 baby food.
I would love another carrier and set of plates, but need to get more candles, water filters and a couple other things. So I define my higher priorities.
I use 10lb braided spider wire for clothing repair in the woods, esp putting buttons back on.Found in fishing supplys.
One thing people forget/sleep on is boredom. Have some playing cards dice.
An ePaper tablet (Kindle) with 1000 books is fantastic. The battery lasts weeks and survival & training books and fiction books provide advice and entertainment.
An ebook reader filled with survival/training manuals and novels for entertainment.
The batteries last weeks and information like that can be vital for survival.
Add puzzles - we bought fun puzzles of 500 to 1000 pieces of old Americana - sailing ships and ports, the patchwork farms, my favorite was a Peter Rabbit general store inside of 1000 pieces, another a Frederick Remington Western painting of cowboys and Indians. Am about to buy several of WW I era planes. The various kinds are endless. Cards and dice are okay but puzzles - we enjoyed a lot. Don't forget hard candy, spices, sauces, etc. Nothing gets old than bland food. If someone plays a non electronic musical instrument - that would help.
Print key information, place in protective books. Water purification items like/ Bleach ratios. Don't assume you can look it up
Dollar Tree has casino played decks of cards. Good quality and inexpensive.
Live in Wales UK -- during lockdown I got 3 large deliveries right at the very start. Also, ordered from Amazon and their stuff came in without a problem.
regarding buying gold at the bank, it's actually a thing in some countries for example in Asia. These are countries where people do buy and accumulate gold so it makes sense that banks provide that service.
Very in depth video! Thank you for what you do.
I so agree with you about Wal Mart. I refuse to go there.
I'm not sure if it's my imagination for what it seems like the expiration dates on foods from the grocery store has been getting shorter
'BEST BUY' dates and 'EXPIRES' dates are 2 different things. too many people think they're the same and throw out actually usable canned goods.
supermarkets use them to keep their stock rotated and give the overdated stuff to food banks or sell to 'scratch&dent' food stores.
Milk and bread last way longer than b4
They spray something on vegetables like imbombing fluid or something of the sort
I know I'm just guessing, but I think because there have been so many food production facilities burning down, there's less food being produced. So the stores are having to search for food to put on the shelves, and what they find may have been sitting in a warehouse for a long time. That's why the expiration date is short.
Please clear this up: Many people have stated using a tampon for a bullet wound. I have heard that it would do more damage than good.
I've been seeing no, don't do that. But I'm not a medical professional.
@@kathymcmc I watch medics for emergency situations and they all say not to do it.
Regular tampon user here - tampons are not meant to be effective for bleed stop and pressure on a wound. The reasoning is a tampon is meant to act as a collection reservoir - you keep bleeding into it- it might as well be a cup.
In addition- the people who misguidedly put a tampon in their bleed kit are probably picking up a cheap tampon - cheap ones don't expand in a way that is effective. I could talk for a couple hours on the quality difference between brands. Did you know that the size and expansion quality has decreased in the last year??
If you must... Consider getting ULTRA SPORT by Playtex. Think about it.
I heard the same thing!!! Don't use a tampon in a bullet wound!!!
Thank y'all. Blessings, julie
I'm noticing ATM's & mailboxes being removed in my area (I live in a fairly safe area). I'm thinking there will be a run on the banks.
Love your information.. thanks.. the term for an area your putting food in and out of.. would be " a pantry " definition.. a room or closet in which food, groceries, and other provisions, or silverware, dishes, are keep etc., lol.. ❤
Thank you so much
Super video! (I commented to another prepper how much I love his content & he's one of the most sensible preppers on youtube. I didn't connect that to your channel name. LOL. I think of you as Sootch. I love watching your channel. You always have great advice & we THANK YOU) 😁👍
1 more thing. First time we saw you it was the condom video & my husband said, "oh yeah, I totally get this dude, we're from the same generation!" HA!
Stay close to Jesus.
Best advice!🙏❤️😊
Word
For real. ❤
The only advice that matters
The best prep !
That was great. Thank you❤
Love these “last trip to the store” scenario videos
They make EMP material and conductive tape. So that you can rap, anything. You need to wrap and have it worked the same way.
Technically, a microwave is a Faraday cage. UNPLUGGED
I plan on living like a Pioneer minimal gear. Did I need to be able to produce my needs from the woods? Cook kit. The majority of my backpack will at first be clothing for 4 seasons. Rest of the gear that I have is the same as what the pioneers had hunting implements rat traps for squirrels. 22 pistol fits in a small bag can be concealed. Or hunting or a mini crossbow. All of the resources that I need to be replenished and can be consumed can be made again and come directly from the woods.
How about farady blankets and materials from Amazon and others .
Glad to see you haven't watched the channel in a bit!!!
I do have a question that would concern you a lot. If the grid goes down how will we know about the weather? Tornadoes, earthquakes, hurricanes, and so on. No one speaks of this. I’m in Michigan so I’m not too concerned but others will have no clue what to prepare for if we can’t get notified. Me I’m ok, I have arthritis so bad I can tell when something is coming. I’m surprised that none of the pepper stations don’t discuss this.
CB Radio has an emergency channel. You can run them off a car battery too. They may not be very popular as they once were, but at least its better than no communication at all.
@@MrMancyank71 that’s true but if the grid is down no one will have the radar to dictate the weather
@@user-le9ou6mn5g fair point. Didnt think of that. Still, I'm sure there would be at least minimal local communication to at least give an inkling. As I said, something is definitely better than nothing.
an emergency radio is very important. community critical am stations will have generators and may go to a shtf broadcast schedule.
learn to read the sky.
the old "red sky at night, sailor's delight. red sky in the morning, sailor take warning" is always true.
you can smell rain before it begins.
warching the cloud layers for different directions.
when the sky starts to take a bronze hue, tornadoes are probable.
watch your animals. they are more in-tuned to barometric changes than we are.
sudden changes of wind direction is a bad sign.
watch the leaves of a silver maple tree. if they turn over, giving the name, rain is coming.
Start asking questions, the elderly what has been passed down through generations. Maybe videos out there. Watch the animals, their behaviors change just before certain disasters. I watched a video not so long ago on this very subject although from a pacific island. One thing their grandparents told, if the banana leaves twist in the middle there would be a hurricane in two days. If out fishing and all of a sudden there was low cold air to call all boats together with a conch shell and head back to shore immediately.
I guess we have to be prepared for anything, carry a 42-hour emergency kit in car for emergencies etc. And if these fail, I guess look out the window and pray while dashing to a Tornado shelter. Although with weather modifications and man-made disasters it'll be hard to know.
Whiskey..😂
cigarettes and coffee
Weed
As it looks like the potential for global disruption from conflict is on the horizon. I would strenuously recommend that you consider creating a 5 year base supply for the purpose of riding out any shortages.
Gordons is good for bulk items.there is ?visage?bottle in the saline nose cleaning set,which is something else you need.itcome with a special bottle good for backdoor washing,good for those last 4 "of colon flushing,good hygiene.
Not true always....I just started pineapple tomato seeds 12 yrs old during eclipse April 8th. As an experiment.
They've shot up like weeds.
Seeds last very long time.
All my seeds and plants are old heirloom
Yes, I think Sootch was generalizing about the seeds. Some things like tomatoes can last a long time. But others like carrots and onions only last a couple of years.
Good video. I'm about to move so I can really take inventory of my stock lol.
I got a book in 4th grade ( 1965) titled " Alas Babylon " ... your story sounds similar to how it started !
I remember in October before , I filled all my gas cans / vehicles and stocked my pantry real good . I am glad that I did we didn't do w/o .
I have doing prepping for over 50 years ... All of y'all need to listen to this ... DO NOT PROCRASTINATE !!!!
There is a device on Amazon that fits any waterbottle to make it a portable bidet ... cuello . You can use less STP .
You could also add a "She wee" for each female in your household so they could if need be, pee outside without dropping their pants. Very handy if you're stuck on the interstate with no exits nearby!
Great Book👍
Love your channel
Ppl stopped prepping for a shtf and started influencing one they think they can handle. Many are throwing out the baby to keep the bath water
I've been reading that you should store your seeds in a jar in the freezer. They must be dry and you should be buying heirloom varieties. This should improve the germination rate, and last 10 years or more.
The freezer can be a little harsh for some seeds. So I recommend the refrigerator instead. If you can't get heirloom seeds, that's OK. Plant what you have, and save seeds. If it's a hybrid, and what grows next year is highly variable, you can still eat it.
Love your videos
I bought faraday bags from Amazon, from a company called Youczon. When the government sent out the alarm to everyone’s phone, I put my phone in one of those bags, made sure that it was folded over properly, and waited for everyone else’s phone to go off. MINE DID TOO!!!! The sound was of course muffled, but clearly, the faraday bag did not work. What a waste of money!
That's brilliant. Put your whole entire inventory on a Google spreadsheet so that the government will know exactly what you have and how much....... 🤔
Good advice on credit cards. You should never get yourselves in dept
Every member of congress got satellite phones many months ago.....what do they keep them in for EMP protection?
An Ammo can works for smaller items like that. Big items can go in a metal trash can.
I’ve got several military ifaks and a lot or other things several just bandaid boxes and other hygiene items too getting more soon like tampons and pad not only for all of the women in my family but for bad trauma wounds like gunshot wounds too insert a tampon Int the bullet hole tape down the string and cover it with a pad it will stop or at least slow it down along with the quickclot the pt will have a better chance than just minor bandages you can get better but it’s what you got on hand yall !!
26:28 what i miss over and over is a good SOLAR watch or better yet a mechanical watch or handwinding watch. Analog definitely. So important for action groups, as a compass, for assault teams etc. Even batteries for watches, hearing aidsetc...never hear you guys talk about these things. Only "batteries for flashlight and radio" kinda stuff. Ever tried to fit a D-cell or an AAA in a hearing aid device 😂?
If you can -- 'cook' the sand first to sterilise it. Set your oven to 200'C.
Fill cars with gas so I can use in generators. Fill the rest of our containers with water and more plywood.
have not heard this but if you need denture adhesive you better stock up now you wont be eating much.
What would you do if you didn't see it and a person was in your pantry and found a box of macaroni and cheese and it's two years old they start to toss your food? I opened the box the noodles had no color change no split looked fine the powder cheese pk wasn't showing any color to the outside and i opened it and it was a pretty orange not like todays but it was loose not stuck together. It smelled good so would you eat it? And would you let a person toss your food?
more gas....top off tank. you allready should have 20 gallons minimum stored
cash...as much as you think you need for a month with no credit cards
meat and veggies as much as can afford ...might be last fresh meal
Powdered peanut butter. Most of the fat is removed so it lasts 10+ years... don't go by the date on the package, it's a sell by date. You can bait traps to get rabbits, squirrels or even a golden Labrador...kidding on that last one.

Do you have to use Berkey filters with there water systems?
Can you use others and if so which do you recommend?
I'm trying Pro One filters, and so far, I like them.
Dinty Moore stew taste good raw right out of the can!
How much cash do you recommend having on hand in SHTF?
Seeds will keep if you freeze them.
I ride push bike very fast weather permitting
I am sad that the Barrell Superstore went out of business.
