About me: I work for an Emergency Preparedness retail store in Marietta Georgia called TruPrep. My employment began in 2011 and I’ve been teaching classes and talking to people about preparedness for years.
I think of Preps as Life Insurance. I prefer to count on myself (and my inner circle) in an emergency situation instead of waiting for others.
I love to mess with stuff and figure things out. It is so important to know how things work. So many people will purchase a few “survival” items and stick them in a closet to have peace of mind. But they are missing a step. It is important to know how things work.
I am not a survivalist, but I love hiking and camping. I can make a fire and pee in the woods without peeing on my shoes, if that counts. So in essence, I am really just a normal person living a normal life, preparing for a possible emergency situation like millions of others are doing.
I hope that you thrive in your own personal preparedness journey.
Carpe Diem!

How does the water go through the filter?
You need to pump faster to prime
I left that blue plastic on also. Hopefully it doesn't hurt anything because I'm not taking it all apart unless it's absolutely necessary.
Ha! It should be fine. I left mine on until I decided to take it apart and clean everything a few months later ;-)
If I’m gonna save food for my dog, it’s gonna be more healthy than purina. I know some people can’t afford that which is fine. But at the end of the day, it’s worth it. My dog is my baby and I like to make sure she eats well.
Thanks for letting us know!
NO BUDDA STAND FOR ME
Thank goodness that is not mandatory! Get creative and find something that fits your lifestyle.
Thank you for demonstrating this genius emergency water bank! It’ll be perfect in Texas where our pipes burst whenever we get a deep enough freeze (like the terrible ice storm event in 2021).
My pleasure!
Hey think i know you. Truprep?
Yep! TruPrep!
@amypreps6030 Hahha! Awesome. This vdoe helped me, and we have spoken many times at the shop. If you are still there I'll stop by and say "hello."
Thanks! That is lifesaving for those emergencies!🚽🚙👍🤗
You are so welcome! They are amazing!
I have a similar faucet though a bit larger and cannot get it to happen!
Have you tried using a different faucet? Sometimes that makes all the difference.
Use alcohol away from naked flame 😧
Great informative video! Thanks!
You are so welcome!
Would be good when stuck in your car in the snow
Absolutely!
Prescription meds, matches, garden seeds
Love it!
why use mylar instead of original bag?
Great question! Mylar in not porous where other material is. Mylar will not allow oxygen to penetrate into the bag. Other material (including plastics) will, over a period of time.
Great video. I’m going off grid to west Africa. Trying to add something like this to my grayl as a water solution. What do you think about this for off grid international travel ?
If you have the room to take this with you, it is an excellent choice! Safe travels!
Excellent video Amy. I just learned something and gained knowledge. Thank you. Also, it would be great to have a MD Creekmore book signing day at your store.
Thanks! If you can get Creekmore, I would be happy to host a signing! Thanks for the fun idea!
What about some super hot food to breath on the snow and melt it...
Sure! Whatever floats your boat ;-)
I too enjoy pickles
Pickles rock ;-)
Well well well if it isn't my very own aunt!!
Aunt huh? Well seeing as I have a bunch of nieces and nephews that I love to pieces, I say Hi Sunshine! You found me ;-)
You are a great presenter!
I appreciate that! Thanks!
Nice system except for the cheap plugs,which I would not trust to loosen up.Why would the go cheap on this ?
Nice system for sure! I have not had any issues with the plugs so far. Thanks for the comment!
I read that Berkey is in trouble for making claims not backed up by laboratory testing and they also have not proven that their product will safety filter 3,000 gallons of water. I bought an Aquapure. I hope it is thoroughly tested.
It is true that Berkey is currently fightinga few battles, but be careful about where you are getting your info. A trusted source is important! With that being said, I also love Alexapure. It is a great filter. I hope you enjoy yours 😀
Should gamma lids be used or are regular okay?
As long as the dog food is sealed in a Mylar bag, either will work. Just a matter of preference. I like using gamma lids for things that I open often, not so much for long term storage.
Only 2 years in a mylar bag ?
Going to try that method
Great! Let me know how it turns out!
Great job! You SAVED a ton of MONEY. Thanks for SHARING!
You bet!
Havent tried Crisco but experimented with bacon and hamburger grease and so far its worked. Need to see how long it will burn
Let me know how it goes after your test!
Awesome Amy!
Thank you!!
My Patriot Supply's customer service is stellar, compared to tbe last water filtration company I used which had major spigot and filter problems. I highly recommend this product and the company!
Thanks for sharing!
I’m so glad I ran into your video. Thank You for sharing.
You are so welcome!
I bet if you powdered them, they would be great on top of eggs, hard boiled especially. Or mixed into some ground beef for burger patties.
Great idea!! Someone in the store said that you could store those for a good Electrolyte source. Thanks for the idea!!
Terrific presentation, I really like the ease of assembly and the fact that no priming is necessary. I have one I bought a couple of years ago for emergency. Well, the emergency is current as I bought a meter that measures water purity and I found put we've been drinking horrible water. I'm taking it out of storage and putting it to work. Thanks for your easy step by step instructions. Belated HAPPY NEW YEAR.
Thanks so much!! I am glad it helped. I love mine and I am sure you will also. Happy New Year to you too!
How long do the corks have to soak before using them? Thank you.
HI! I would soak them for at least a week. The longer the better. I don't ever drain the alcohol. I store them in it.
Thank you, your video was very helpful.
Glad it was helpful!
I've been watching the ADs for different filters. Pro One was the best so far. I am using Alexapure Filter but they have increased the price and THEY HAVE NOT ANSWERED MY Email ????? So WHY should I buy there product again ?? Keep looking........
FANTASTIC,, that's the way I did my Berkey.. Works great and it's cheap
Awesome!
THANKS for the video.. I have the ball pumper device , NOW I know how it works.. SOOoo How long did the ball pump take to prime filter ?? 15-20 minutes ???
probably about 15 minutes or so
How long do you soak the cork before use?
At least 24 hours, but the longer the better.
Thanks! How long can they be stored? Will they still be good to use after a year in the jar?
Imagine thinking that holding the filter by the screw is a good idea? Would’ve been funny if it snapped off.
Funny!?? oh heck no! But thanks for the comment ;-)
This was so helpful. Thank you! Setup is always the most frustrating part of buying something like this - and you made it so logical and simple! ❤
Glad it was helpful!
I want the antenna too! Your channel is sooooo informative… I hope you get more people watching. I’m sharing with my friends!!! Please show links on your products. Thank you 🌴
Thanks so much! This was just a cheapie antenna. You can find them online.
Where did you order that?
I ordered this online, Amazon I think
Wow!!! I’m learning soooo much from you! I have alot of things here, but you’re showing me how to tie it altogether!! Thank you sooooo much!
You are so welcome!
Your channel is amazing!!! New subbie from Tampa Florida 🌴
Thanks for subbing!
Omg awesome!!! I’m going to get a few!!! Yikes Where can you find?? Army navy store??
These might be tricky to find right now, try hardware stores. I've seen them at harbor freight
Awesome! This really helped me tremendously. Now if I can find buckets!!!🤣🤣🤣
Great! Try asking the deli at your favorite grocery store for buckets. Many times they get stuff like icing shipped to them and they will give away the buckets for free!
@@amypreps6030 I worked in bakery for years and they stopped giving the icing buckets out back in 2011. You can still get the buckets but they charge you for them.
It’s not a pronouns she/her filter is it?
Ha! Yes :-)
For water in my vehicle I keep a 40 pack of 17oz water bottles from Costco. Comes out to 5.3 gal of water. Thanks for the great content, Amy! I’ll have to come by the store for some of those Travel John urinals.
Great! See you there :-)
If you put the screen on the stove you can put a cook pot and cook away. Probably barbeque, and bake when it reaches the coals.
Great idea!
Hello, what would the shelf life of the filter be?
I don't think there is one, as far as I have read :-)
Ha ha , you should have used a orange 🍊 Home Depot bucket, the pool noodle hack is AWESOME!!! That’s all that’s needed.
Heck yeah!
