In this video I show you what I have in my emergency prepping closet. I show you guys all of my survival gears, survival food, my bug out bag, my AR 15 and ammo, first aid kit, and all my other emergency and preparedness gear. I also talk about my prepping philosophy and my bug out plan vs my bug in plan. I dont prep for the zombie apocalypse, or for the Illuminati taking over the country or any global or even nation disaster. Instead, I prep for smaller, localized natural disasters such as Hurricane Katrina or Hurricane Sandy. I feel confident that I have enough freeze dried food and emergency supplies to last my family and I at least 2 months during a natural disaster.

i just wanted to mention a few things about your food supply from a chef's perspective. the salt and sugar attract moisture easily, even more so in the boxes they are in. if i were you, inwould put them in air tight sealable containers (labeled) and add some rice or something to help avoid the oisture and keep it from clumping. If you make a sachet with the rice using cheese cloth and butcher's twine, you won't have to worry aboht picking the rice out before you csn use it.
"I'm prepping for weather related disasters" 20 seconds later... "This is my AR-15. Lol jk good video bro.
LOL
lmao
Label the canned foods with permanent marker. If the labels get wet and come off can't tell corn from beans from chili. Also a few extra can openers like P38 if the main one breaks.
Rotate your cans and donate near expiration dates to food pantries.
Jeff Purcell no need to rotate long as u have them stored propperly and such nothing will happend long as there arent getting damaged or wet in any way
My advice is to move your canned goods to your pantry. Invest in some auto rotating can organizers, to store your canned goods in. This way you don't end up with 24 three year old cans of creamed corn. This is very effective, as long as you have the discipline to replace what you use every week. Also remember to prep what you eat, and eat what you prep.
Milton Tucker But i eat almost zero canned food.
3 year old cans are almost new, they have a long way to go before they become bad. ignore the freshness dates, they're there to increase corporate profits not because the food goes bad then....
You hit my prepping whys right on the head. Long before Sandy hit I had flashlights in every room and hallways. Food and first-aid stuff always updated and batteries galore. By 2 days before Sandy hit here in Jersey flashlights were impossible to buy and if you could find D cell batteries they were being price gouged for up to $10 for 2. Had loads of candles and lighters and sterno too. Did just fine during the 9 days with no power. Who's crazy now lol?
Laura...thats awesome, we had a water problem here in mich, not flint, but i had all the water i needed! woohoo! 👊
For these people who lost power-- where do you keep the solar panels, generator and batteries.
Live in central Long Island...a good 15 minutes from water. I had 13 days without power after Sandy. It got really real at my house...no heat, no refrigeration, most flashlights eventually died, we actually ran out of gas in car from charging cel phones. I will be ready next time.
As it is a stationary cache/kit I like that you focus on dried/preserved foods. I'd like to see an axe and a saw though, maybe more tools in general, rope? These may as well be things you have in your garage anyways. keep it up!
A VERY important aspect for me in terms of being prepared is this:
If a sudden disaster strikes or I know a hurricane, or a snowstorm or some other thing is coming, I do NOT panic. I do NOT have to run to the store and claw for that last loaf of bread or gallon of milk, or wait in a five block long gasoline line. I just calmly go home and be with my family!
i pack gravy mixes in my preps to mix with the rice and beans to help change things up a bit... some spices, hot sauce... things like that... and look for other things that you can mix together.. like the vienna sausage, mix that with the canned beans, or mix with the rice and beans.. just my thoughts... great vids..
good stuff. pretty similar to what I have on hand. i'm not stockpiled to bunker down for a year. one thing i added was a hand held ham radio. also have a ham radio manual on hand. if cell towers go out, the ham frequencies will be very busy, and useful.
Love your videos man! Very helpful, in depth, and viewer friendly! Glad to see more!
-George from FueledProductions
Candles are ok but get yourself a couple oil lamps (I prefer hurricane lanterns) and some fuel. They are much easier to move from room to room and safer than candles. Walmart has them real cheap (less than $8.00) in the home decor section. Don't forget to buy some spare wicks. Make sure you have a battery powered radio and preferably with a weather station built in. Also do not store your batteries in flashlights, radios, etc. They will leak acid and short them out. A good quality manual can opener is a must have also. Keep up the great videos!!
Wet bed sheets hung up in door ways and windows cool down the house. When the wind goes through the sheets acts like aircon.
This video was helpful for a newbie like myself. I’m starting off with picking up a few canned goods during my bi-weekly grocery shopping haul. I’ve also enjoyed the dollar store shopping!
For improvised candle holders use any small container with about an inch of salt in the bottom. You can then jam a candle into the salt and it will stand perfectly. Rice also works well in place of the salt.
Good video thank you that's the same way I brought mine just a bit at a time and also thought about what to buy. Hope your having a good Christmas and thank you for all of your videos so far.
Nice selection of canned goods! You have a good about of supplies and it is organized nicely.
These are all good, practical preps. I can say with first hand knowledge that the battery operated misting fans are a must have. I live in central Florida, and I have been through a few hurricanes. In 2004, Hurricane Charley knock out power in my area for almost two weeks. Luckily, I had a couple misting fans, and they made all the difference in world. Great video! And thank you for your service.
sean newman Thanks, yea those fans seem to be the easiest way to keep cool when the power is out.
There are a lot of factors in survival.
One plan I discovered which successfully combines these is the Survivor Crusher System
(check it out on google) definately the most incredible survival resource i've heard of.
Check out the amazing free video.
+all spam
I'm liking your videos, you're doing great! Look forward to more content, it's cool to see another service member that preps. Just because we work for the government doesn't mean we shouldn't be able to take care of ourselves.
ComradeGeneralK Thanks Man. Yea im surprised by how few preppers I find in the military. If the shit really did hit the fan, depending on the situation, im sure the military will take care of us to some degree. Maybe a cot to sleep on inside a gymnasium and an MRE or two. But I want more than that, I want to be able to bug in and ride it out in the comforts of my own home.
Really good info on how to get started with prepping for emergencies that may arise. Be sure to have a hand can opener if you can't find the pop top cans. Ramon's are just a filler, so be sure to add your veggies, chicken, tuna, and other canned items like powdered cheese to expand the flavor and power of Ramon.
good video. I just started "prepping" about 9 months ago. Like you, I try to spend around $100 a month. I just spent $300 on mountain house stuff. I like mountain house because you can just store it in a cool dark place and it will last 25 - 30 years.
Not a bad start,
Few suggestions though
Adaptor so you can refill Propane tanks off a big tank (20 lb) then put a 20 pound tank in the garage.
Some freeze dried coffee or tea bags sealed for caffine or trading.
buckets and bags are nice but useless when empty...fill em now. We are still using some grain I put up in the late 90's for our bread machine it is still fine. (also if you store wheat get a small hand grinder)
Puzzle books or a card deck maybe a game or two to kill down time.
Batteries are nice but long term get a solar recharger and a few packs of rechargable batteries.
Not sure where you live but blankets and sleeping bags in case of cold weather and no power.
Weather radio, canteens (metal), mess kit (metal), and water purification straw also are long term goals.
Just keep an eye on expiration dates and rotate food stocks on your food stores. Watch batteries and cylume stick dates also.
As a last comment store a few hundred in cash and a few ounces of silver also. No power, no ATM's, Silver ..well you never know.
Just a few ideas,
Good luck.
Recent subscriber. Really like your channel. Like your common sense approach! I think it is important to be prepared for anything not just for shtf.
Battery banks and solar chargers. You can get decent units for $100 like Anker or GoalZero that will keep all your usb and battery devices charged indefinetly.
Key to prepping is work on your weakness or learn about the categories that you're not so cognizant of. Everything is great but I would work on your medical side. A couple hand sanitizers and bandaids is not gonna keep you safe from a cut (leading to infection, sepsis, gangrene, blood infection, etc.). Betadine (provodine iodine), sutures or disposable preloaded skin stapler, butterfly or steri strip closures, non adherent bandages, and wrap would keep you safe from a simple cut which would be fairly common in shtf scenarios. Thats just one common medical scenario: think of food poisoning, biological event, etc, and start checking out tactical emergency medicine or at least level 3 trauma techniques and supplies. Also, some more duct tape and contractors plastic sheets to keep out particles (nuclear, etc), and masks rated for at least N95. Those dust masks will only help a little.... Also, think about how to fortify your windows and doors from scavengers, and a plan to get out if a group throws a molotov cocktail on your house siding to smoke you out.
I helped the snow removal with a farm tractor when that hit. My family was all set at home. my plow truck was useless
I think that SOG spear head is a great thing to have for long-term survival. Great for using to spear fish and gig frogs. Carry that in your BOB.
Great channel. Great closet. I would like to offer a few suggestions: 1) Rodents will find your rice that is not in buckets 2) Those plastic water jugs WILL crack. Get some 5-7 gallon camping water cans with spigots. I like your canned goods. Check out sprouting from dried beans. I don't want to sound like I am a know-it-all, I am just trying to be brief. Thank you for your service to our country. Christ's blessings to you and your family
You have lots of good stuff and you the one that made me want to make a bug out bag
Love the video man. A few things I would add to your kit is 1) books. Books on how to raise animals and crops. Medical books. Learn to stitch people up, CPR . Learn crude dentistry. I don't know your location , but if you're able to plant a garden of any kind , now is the time to learn. 2 ) spices. I know you have salt and sugar , but spices like black and red pepper , garlic powder , rosemary, thyme , basil, etc. Those will take the blandness out of allot of food. And don't forget about the hot sauce for Gods sake!! And finally 3 ) I see you have your wife set up with a .22lr handgun. I know it's probably "all she's comfortable with", but try to get her comfy with a larger caliber. You can't always be there for her , and it may save her life. Good content brother , no ball busting here , just giving opinion.😃
good show. but I think your missing out with the ramen. if you open a can of beans and a can of corn(don't drain the water ) and a couple of ramen packs you've just saved some emergency water and made a more nourishing, and filling meal. thanks pepper from Washington.
Ramen that's gone rancid after @ 6 months is the nastiest stuff I've ever eaten,! BTW
Great post! As I get older, I'm starting to lean towards bugging in vs bugging out. I have a lot of items similar to yours, but you've given me some great ideas. The only suggestion I have, and you probably have already thought of this is storing canned meat, ie., tuna, chicken,beef, spam?(yuk!), stews with meat ,etc..., and have generic food to barter. Liking all your vidios, have subscribed and will continue to follow!!!
Besides tealites I keep several Yahrtzeit candles (religious) they are only 3" high and 6" in diameter in thick glass. They stay lit for 24 hrs.
Get yourself a generator. Best investment I ever made. Bought it after hurricane Hugo in '99 and use it maybe once a year but when the power's out for 3 days (like after Sandy) it's worth the $4-500.Runs the refrigerator / freezer and the heat and the well.
pumpkin12162 Yea a generator is a great idea. I really want one, maybe this summer I will keep my eye on craigs list.
I too stock a few beans. Just make sure you have a way to cook them because it takes a lot of fuel to get them cooked.
I love you and your channel, I've been prepping for a while but I can't anymore because I don't have the money :( amazing job so far
Put your spare portable radios in the toolbox. Also think about storing your last-generation cell phones there. It's a basic Faraday Cage against EMP. Odds are great against any EMP, but it won't hurt to store any spare electronics there.
I may have missed it, as I was cooking while listening to this, but when power goes out, you may not be able to use your toilet.
You should have a Portable toilet(composting) with the composting material. Look into that, as that will be one of the worst things to deal with.
Also, make sure you have entertainment prepared for when power goes out, and ensure you have 2 of every tool, such as an extra can opener etc.
Good work!! I picked up a few tips, I like your initial "Power goes out" bag. Good idea to just get yourself sorted, before you find out what is going on.
The arrowhead/knife was designed as an urban weapon, if you notice, it threads perfectly onto the end of a broomstick handle
Ramen is not bad. . . I add dehydrated vegetables and jerky chunks to make a great noddle soup. . . if you have fresh egg to stir in when it is hot, even better. . .
You should get Blue Can for your water prep, it has a 50-year shelf life.
Nice selection.
Ok so im 16 and I think I'm doing a decent job prepping I would add some coffee and honey (I think someone else might have also mentioned it) I carry a small bag of salt suger and coffee for bartering along with some other things
Could you make a update of this video for 2017?
I remember one year here in Idaho we got 6 1/2ft of snow. My dad had to plow a tunnel to our front door.
There is a great little adapter for filling those small propane bottles from a grill sized propane bottle .... check it out on Amazon. Regards ...
You should check out the LDS food websites for the bulk food prepping. They will show you how to properly store bulk beans and rice and such.
good advice, the Mormons are really into this
The gas masks will come in handy when radiation fallout hits, or toxic chemical spill, or civil unrest with teargas being used. Another lighting option, You can also get those inflatable solar lights. Keep by the window during day and then have a light to get up the stairs to get the rest. You kind of have all your eggs in one basket. No plan "b" in case your place in inaccessible, such fire. We have storage 2-3 miles away with supplies, food, water. I would recommend the clear thicker water jugs. I had one of those that cracked and leaked just form where the plastic crinkled.
You should learn how to extreme coupon. It will make prepping cheap, fun, and easy.
i dry my swiss chard to put in my ramon noodles. hefy like spinich. tastes great too.
I've heard you mention in a couple of videos about not having candle holders. Here is a trick I learned some years ago if you slightly soften not necessarily melt the bottom of the candle you can bin Stick it to pretty much anything fireproof of course. That works very well and when you're done with the candle you pretty much just pick it up it doesn't leave a whole lot of residue behind at all
I love this idea. Thanks!
Great video. My sisters and I grew up rather poor. Powdered and condensed milk was all we knew unless we had breakfast at school or we went ot our relatives farms in Wisconsin. If you make the right balance by RTFM, it's basically the same =) LOL! Great video. Happy subscriber.
I would suggest more candles and a lantern that holds candles. People rely to much on flashlights and like you the few candles they have they don't have adequate equipment to safely use them around the house. Also if you have any candles at all, even a few small ones, than you should have multiple fire extinguishers around the house. They are cheap and can save your house and all your other equipment if someone knocks a candle over.
Nice video! Like you i prep for natural disaster in our area. I dont know about Zombies and when SHTF.... I dont think that day will come in my life time....
Ed Casta I agree. Maybe some day the Zombie outbreak will happen but it is far more likely that my power is going to go out during a bad storm this summer, so that's what I prep for!
Duracell sells an emergency power inverter/car starter/charger with a double solar panel that can plug into the inverter. Its cheaper and provides twice the power of the gozero setups. Sold on amazon, the setup wont power the fridge, but it can power/charge other things. I got it with rechargeable batteries/charger and aside from 12v plugs, there are usb plugs as well. Can charge my phones, batteries, emergency power/noaa radio/charger, walkie talkies and my ir & thermal scopes, and keep a mini fridge going 24/7. Not as good as a gas generator, but a close second.
AJ Usog In some repects a solar rig like you have can be better than a gas generator. After a short time, you'll run out of gas... and it may be hard to get somewhere to get more. Years ago we were snowed in for several days and were almost out of gas for the genny when they finally were able to plow our road. I wasn't relishing the idea of a 3 mile hike in 2-3 feet of snow, tehn ikign back carrying gas! A sustainable system like protable solar would have been awesome!
how about about getting some small lights that take the place of candles? You can find them at dollars stores and you do not need holders nor worry about catching things on fire.
like u said salf is good for preserving meats pulse salt and sugar will be valuable bartering items
Looks awesome
Hey about your comment about living in Buffalo with 60 to snow I live in northern Michigan I’m always the same kind of weather and watch the weather waiting here about to go to the grocery store have snowmobile generators 4wheldrive trucks if you can’t make it get on the The snowmobile and go to town for whatever you think you have to have it it’s a different type of living up here most people are prepared for the the deep snow
I just stumbled on your channel. I watched this and was trying to remember what was the thought only 5 years ago. (2015) We are near the end of 2020 now. I hope your preps have been expanded, if not ....you might be in trouble. (IMO) You may want to update this video. God Bless, and thank you for your service.
be aware of weebles in your rice, best thing to do it heat the rice up in the oven dry, that will take care of it. i would also consider putting a can opener in that closet for good measure. take care.
David Mullen A can opener is a pretty good idea. Never heard of weebles in the rice, i'll look into that.
its a small bug, kind of long skinny and black/brown, they lay their eggs in rice fields and they carry over to the processing plants and continue to lay. rice is packaged with the weeble eggs on it and if you leave it long enough they hatch. so when you heat the rice up dry, you kill the eggs. no eggs, no infestation. and its really quite common.
David Mullen do you mean weevils?
Yes, I've seen these on rice many times. Glad to know you can kills the eggs in the oven. Thanks!
Weebles wobble, but they don’t fall down.
great video i have learned a few things from this
Jake Burnett Thanks, im glad to hear it.
I'm from buffalo... The snow wasn't that bad, was just kinda hard to get to work.
what you going to do after 2 months, need at least a year +, good start, keep adding to it. in shtf need black out curtains, people see light there coming to you. Batts, way to charge, dollar store good, goodwill, get some totes that fit under your bed fill them up, dates on food, good job.
Recent Baton Rouge Flood "the Great Flood of 2016" (just from a 1000 year rain event no hurricane) no one was in a flood zone or had flood ins. PTSD pt.'s comment: "I woke up to water. We got 4' in the house and waist deep in the street. I had to choose between getting swept away in the truck or getting on the roof.." He chose the truck and the family barely made it!
If your hand crank flashlights, radios, etc. use rechargeable batteries such as NiMH or Lithium Ion, they aren't just going to keep a charge even switched off. You should charge them up every 1 to 3 months to make sure they will work in an emergency. Also, rechargeable batteries will degrade in capacity over time, and they will probably be dead in 10 years. Some batteries are easy to replace while other might require some basic soldering skills to replace. I've noted with those cheap hand pump flashlights that the hand pump generator powers the light directly, and they use permanent button cells that will go dead in time. At least, the hand pump generator on those will work even with dead batteries. I highly suggest your store your packaged foods in plastic containers. A mouse that sneaks in will ruin your day when you find raided food with mouse feces all over the place. They can chew through plastic wrap, paper, and cardboard, but I've had no issues when food is stored in closed plastic containers. Metal cans should be fine without a container, but storing them in a tub will allow for quick movement of a number of cans if you find that useful. Don't forget to rotate your food. Expired food can make you sick. Just eat food before it expires and replace with new cans as needed.
Get some tuna, canned chicken
to add to the Ramen and rice...
Any ideas for heating in door during a power outage?
Luci 2.0 Outdoors lantern and luci lantern with usb port this two lanterns are solar powered and at the same time can charge cells and small power banks
4' of toxic water ruins everything in the house quickly and it can't be filtered, in 48 hours you have toxic mold. Big lesson from Katrina: water and communications saved lives the most.
I dont know if it was a good idea but i bought a survival guitar case, its a bugout backpack in form of a guitar case... In a SHTF situation who will loot the looser with the guitar? Any opinions?
hard to carry? besides, bug in is definitely best.
You would have to make the guitar case seem light in weight, but, still a very clever idea.
Now i know to check guitar cases for loot
If I were to comment on anything I'd have to say..
Being prepared is of course better than not being so good on you for that.
When it comes to water, like you said a bath tub is practical.
The bottled water, I (and this is just my personal preference) would try to keep both larger jugs and smaller bottles.
The smaller ones can be used without contaminating the entire supply.
Apart from that thanks for an interesting video and a couple of (why didn't I think of that) ideas.
Thumbs-up.
Yea, I admit I need to work on my water supplies. I am about to move into a new house and planning on hooking up some water barrels to the down spout of our gutter system.
I hope you have another cashe somewhere outside of your house and close by. What would happen to this cashe if you had a housefire? What would you do if you could not access this closet? I know you have an EDC with you at all times, but give it some thought, -- "WHAT IF?"
For a practical, localized emergency, I think you're doing just fine. I would add some variety to my proteins though. Try some Mary Kitchen corned beef hash. It is great for breakfast cooked, but in a pinch you could eat it right out of the can, and frankly, at the end of the world, it will be what cockroaches feast on. The old adage for firewood is the same for water in my opinion. When you think you have enough triple, quadruple or even quintuple it. I don't know where you live, but you can't hunt medium to large game with .223/5.56 in my neck of the woods, and in my opinion for good reason. I would add a reasonably priced , durable .30 cal to your arsenal. Nothing fancy, just a trusty old bolt gun that won't let you down. (I won't go into actual variations as everyone has their own preference and you'll likely just set off a shit storm about whats better, however .308 or 30-06 are plentiful and hard hitting enough for hunting and have been used with much success for decades.) A 12 gauge would be a good addition as well for those times when our fine motor skills escape us and something (or someone) needs to be dealt with A.S.A.P. Ummm, let me see, oh Always keep quality foot wear close at hand for all your family members. Preferably some sort of water proof, Vibram soled boot, but anything with a with good support, tread and durability will get you through. That's my two cents, but as you know preparing for disasters is very personal to every family. You have to take into account all sorts of things such as personal medical needs, geography, topography, number of members in your party, individual strengths and weaknesses, type and severity of occurrence, etc. I think being mindful of necessity and addressing it is what you're doing and the best way for most of us who don't have an American Express Black Card in our wallets. The last thing I would say (which likely doesn't apply to you since you're a serviceman, thank you for that by the way) is be careful not to let your skills slip, because all the gear in the world means precisely dick if you don't have good instincts and good training!
Great job so far but get some large square pieces of wood ply or mdf or even a stronger wood if you can afford it and the lay it down behind and for smaller pieces underneath your depots and stuff then get some nails and hammer and basic tools reason being if a hurricane (we call the Cyclones ) is coming you need to board up your windows to protect them from flying debris get wood that is strong first go for strong stuff even if it is thicker and then get as much as you can because if you can't board up all windows at least you can protect your main living and storage areas. Also some Tabasco sauce or some kind of sauce that makes crappy can food tastes a lot better
Alternatively if you can afford it metal roller shutters on Windows will help with debris and security
Toilet paper ,bag of Limel ,Rotate your can food eat some replace some,Rodent control mouse bait. Radio..
THEDRAGONBOOSTER8 He keeps a hand-crankable radio in his bug out bag.
the greatest results that I have had was with the Marla survive system (just google it) definately the most helpful preppers that I have ever tried.
With all those beans, I understand the gas masks now. lol.
Have you tried the indoor heater that you can safely use those propane tanks for?
With the different waters, like distilled or purified or spring water, does one last longer on the shelf longer or better to keep on hand?
You should get some body armor for the family be sure to get lvl 4 plates
Without an expensive NBC alarm how will you know when to don your gas mask?
Get rid of the gallon water containers. They will start leaking. and you will lose your water. You need 55 gallon barrels you can get them at sams club.
Lets hope that since this video...In the year 2019 , you've added your favorite spices....to help make your food more palatable. cheers
Do you keep a spare fuel reserve for your vehicle?
Nice Le s Paul!
Wow you have a lot good job i started a few years ago like u think i have enough tolet paper to last a few months what about starting a vegetable garden that would be something that your wife could do then you will always have vegetables and fruits because all those cans will run out
I heard 'ShepherdSurvives' guides are the best for it
It's recommend you carge it every now and then
Make your life easy take a solar setup. And Electric heating to go with it.
I mean if you get cold your body will start shaking and you will burn right through your supplies 4x as fast. Heat is very important, woodstove also very good for heat.
barry de bever I have been thinking allot about buying some mobile solar panels, you can find them for less than $100.
Bug-Out-Brothers make sure u look at the Watts because you dont want to end up spending $400 for some 25W output panels which costs only about the fraction of that price. also forget the woodstove, try to find a multi fuel stove, so you can burn diesel gas benzine and other stuff. try to find those at military surplus, i beleve you americans had them in the 70/80's.
were do u get canned foods for 50 cents canned food at my grocery store is a $1.00 or 1.50
hi there I'm in a wheelchair and I want to start prepping what are some of the things that I can learn or do to make myself prepared
+James Baril
Being in a wheelchair doesn't change things all that much when it comes to basic preps. Flashlight, batteries, candles. A radio with NOAA alert capabilities. Water is a must, so keep a decent supply on hand at ALL times, and know how to disinfect water with bleach or Iodine. The best advice I've ever heard is that it's what's in your head, not your cupboard, that will serve you best. CZcams has a boatload of vids on this subject. Keep it simple and verify everything.
What model gas mask do you have?
Add noodles. You can eat them with just butter and salt
Add batteries to your lights out kit
You should get some honey. Its very nutritios and it NEVER goes bad :)
08klausy I have heard that before, they have even found honey berried in Egyptian tombs that are still editable.
+08klausy And you can smear it in bad wounds as a "preservative" until you get professional help, sugar too. Use loads. Works like preserving with suger/salt but salt would be agony and would probably destroy/kill tissues in contact.
+08klausy What about syrup?
At least you started.there is so much more I'd advise you to do.solar panels,emergency heating.things to barter with.go to Walmart and buy the 25 pound bag of sugar.probably wouldn't hurt to buy some packs of koolaid.
thoughts on spices or a seed farm for long term prepping?
Thomas Wagner I know this is a comment from 11 months ago but I'd like to comment on it anyways. I have a ton of dried soups and freeze dried herbs / spices laying around. It can make a lot of difference when eating rice / pasta with beans or so for 7 days straight ( for sure I have more variating food, but still it would be quite bland). The seed farm would only be a good idea if you already know how to grow the food, when to plant it and when to harvest it. You also actually need a plot of land for it. You need about an acre worth of food per person to be fully fed for an entire year. Know about the diseases, sun hours, soil types, insects, etc. as well. Farming when your life is dependent on it doesn't just include sticking it into the ground and waiting for your food to pop up. It's a common misconception people have about long term prepping.
i watched this video a couple of months ago.. guess who also have a prepping closet now haha....
I
So what will you do with all the food when nothing happens and it's expired? Great video btw
+That Awkward Nisreen Most canned good items can last 5 to 10 years past the expiration date.
You are the first person I’ve seen that actually have a gas mask plus filters which I didn’t know you can get lol but I’ve seen many bug out videos and I’m like what if it’s a chemical war and you can’t use non of what you have?....EXACTLY so yea man good idea on the gas mask 😷 everything else looks good also. I feel you on the “Iam legend” bug in instead of bug out atleast you have shelter too but what if you have an apartment? ☹️
Just add Pop Tarts and toilet paper and your good to go! Lol good vid-Thanks
