Yeah I’m fairly certain I said that at the beginning of the video

That’s excellent advice

McCain frozen french fries? No issues, just takes looonger So this is not an absolute statement

My thoughts exactly. No problem at all I love helping out my fellow preppers. That’s awesome a bug out kit can be so much fun to put together

It’s a branding thing. It started because hobotech is one of my favorite TH-camrs and he wears gloves and now I wear them in every video lol.

Thank you 💛

No this particular model doesn’t have replaceable batteries. Sorry it took me so long to reply, this question was buried in my notifications

@@GetReadyPrepping No prob! Thanks, all the way from Brazil!

Yeah definitely I think you would definitely get more output with a pedal generator like the K-Tor generators. Zeus Dynamo makes a hand crank one I’d like to try. Hopefully one day I can test all of these out.

Thank you so much for the incredibly kind comments

129 where I live but I've seen them for half this price

It is pretty cool. I think I might buy another one lol

Yeah that would be awesome. There is another device that I reviewed that has a built in radio, lantern, dynamo, Solar,alarm, as well as it can also take battery.

Try searching “4 Pack Solar Lantern Camping Essentials Accessories Lights, Rechargeable LED Flashlight” by Tansoren

Thank you that did the trick and I could find it

Glad I could help 😊

I got mine on Amazon.

@@GetReadyPrepping Found them, thanks again, and subbed....

You’re absolutely welcome and thank you.

Although......I'm seeing some big systems on sale on amazon for like 30-40. Should I maybe start with that? Hmm, They also have added discounts. Don't know why I'm overthinking this.

Thank you so much for the kind words it really does mean the world to me. Honestly I’d say if you can find a bigger one on sale with coupons on Amazon (that’s how I got 90% of mine lol) I’d go with that as you’ll have to refill the water basin less frequently and therefore there’s less of a chance of any loss of plants lol. I would stay away from any systems that use a usb port to deliver power however. The idoo system I have for wheatgrass doesn’t output enough power to grow anything other than wheatgrass. Please please buy a little container of neem oil cause spider mites will ruin your day lol.

Yeah this is definitely supplemental to my bulk storage and is mainly for good nutrient content. I haven’t eaten as healthy as I do now in my entire life so I’d say even if no emergency happens where I have to rely completely on getting my fresh produce from this it is definitely worth it.

I have done tons of research into aquaponics and I would like to set up a hybrid aquaponics/tilapia farm eventually but it definitely has to wait until I have more room. Honestly I cant wait to try it I think its gonna be fun

@@GetReadyPrepping I’ll keep a look out for the video

Of course! I can’t believe I forgot to mention it in the video. The blue one is the Voltset 5w solar generator. And the yellow one doesn’t have a brand name on it but can be found under the name nuolux on Walmart

@@GetReadyPrepping thank you so much for the info!

You’re absolutely welcome. Sorry I forgot to mention it in the video

Thants an excellent question. So since this is all in a living area, temperature is handled automatically by maintaining a comfortable temperature for myself and my family in the area. For airflow I try to maintain a healthy pruning schedule and there is a ceiling fan just of camera that pushes quite a bit of air around atleast semi regularly.

@@GetReadyPrepping I live alone, and this is my biggest issue since the entire airflow system is connected and cannot be controlled room by room. I have been using fans for airflow, but temperature regulation has been an issue since.

I haven’t noticed a significant bump in my bill at all but I’m sure that would completely depend on the units being used. All of the units I have only use led lights which are extremely efficient and are all only on for half of the day (usually at night when power is significantly cheaper). Also the pumps in the units only run temporarily throughout the day so very little paper draw their as well.

@@GetReadyPrepping@GetReadyPrepping Thanks for the insights; I appreciate it. Looking to get started.

It’s preppers like you that make me proud to be a Prepper 💛.

Thanks a great suggestion. I’ve have a pretty good stash of bar soap but it can always be bigger!

Lol they are a bit ill fitting

Just make sure they fit properly

I absolutely wish lol

Gotta Love a multiuse tool 🤣

Haven’t gotten a chance to review that yet but hopefully will soon

Thank you so much that means a lot I’ll try my best to include as many tips as I can in the tour video there are a few things that I’ve learned that have made my life so much easier with hydroponics.

Thanks for the kind words! I have a couple of other videos I’ll be uploading first but I’ll have the tour of all of my hydroponic systems ready soon.

@@GetReadyPrepping Thanks, I will be following your channel 👍

🤣

What they said 👍😊

Hey TLC so happy to see you over here! I’m so used to seeing your name in Lead’s livestreams that this feels like running into your friend at the supermarket lol. I’ll definitely record the tour for you soon 💛.

YT stopped sending me notifications. I didn't know you were still putting out videos.

That depends on how much sun and the weather. No it has a port for you to charge it through usb though. yeah they're pretty bright.

I’m sorry to hear that 🙁 I wouldn’t say you were being stupid. It’s not your fault when multiple sources are praising a product to assume it’s a good product.

​​@@GetReadyPreppingBerkey is a good product. You just have to clean it out about every 6 weeks. I do once a month. Once a month I run it out, take the 2 stainless steel pieces apart and wash it out with usually good clean water and a lint free white cloth. If it has ant sediment build up I use vinegar on the bottom container, rinse very well and put back together. Fill it back up and I'm good. Sometimes Amazon has a sell on filters, sometimes cheaper universal types that work with my Berkey goes on sale and I stockpile those. The water does taste good. As with all new filters, sometimes you may have to run a half a tank of water or so through the filter first for best flavor. BERKEYS ARE NICE. NO I don't get anything from Berkey. I just love mine and bought my 2 grown kids 1 each. We all love them and we all sometimes buy off brand filters that are universal and on sale

Yeah they are a bit pricey. You can often find them on sale but I just choose to bite the bullet and buy them in bulk for the discount. I haven’t had the chance to try Propur yet but I’d definitely like to try them based on your recommendation. Thanks for the recommendation

I’m so glad the video was helpful to you! It makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside when I can help my fellow preppers save some money cause that means they can spend the savings on more preps and be even more prepared. You’re absolutely welcome, thank you so much for the kind words 💛

That’s some serious hiking right there lol the Appalachian trail is no joke good to see the gear being put to the test by hardcore users like yourself. I wear gloves because one of my favorite TH-camrs hobotech wears gloves.

Thanks for the info. I suppose that could be helpful to someone who eats seafood.

Also can be used as a child-safe pumpkin carver

Tha is a good point

I don’t think I’ve ever heard myself described this way. I gotta say I like it

It started off as an homage to one of my favorite TH-camrs Hobotech and now it’s sort of a branding thing. Thanks for asking

@@Jean.A.squirrel you just reminded me I have tons of bags of pasta I need to properly store 🤣 thanks so much for the reminder

Thank you so much for the kind words. I have a few Mylar bags with rolled oats but not nearly enough thanks for reminding me I need to keep adding to that because I honestly completely forgot. I have a bit of instant coffee stored but again not nearly enough. Any other suggestions would be extremely appreciated.

@@GetReadyPrepping i have taken to storing powdered peanut butter. It has over 80% less fat so it lasts a long time without turning rancid. It mixes really well with oatmeal and other powdered mixes like pancakes.

@@wardschenck2115 that’s an incredible idea! Does it make peanut butter when adding water or is it just a flavoring agent?

@@GetReadyPrepping it turns back into real peanut butter when you add water, so you can use it by itself as well, i just like using it with oatmeal or pancakes because it mixes so well. I would try that stuff out if you're interested. The brand i use is PBfit

Thanks so much for the tip. I’m definitely going to buy some

Thanks for the kind words and the advice. I tend to ramble because I get extremely nervous the moment I hit record for some reason lol. I’m hoping it improves as I get more comfortable recording

That’s a great tip

Water contains such trace amounts of those minerals that it doesn’t make an actual difference in your diet. That’s why people on keto or the carnivorous diet take electrolyte supplements despite drinking tons of water. We get those minerals from our food not our water

Will it take the chlorine and floride out?

@@frederick4367 no you would need a distiller or a reverse osmosis system to remove chemicals. if your only option is tap water you might want to look into either one of those. if you're harvesting your water by other means you don't have to worry about those chemicals. Hope that helps

excellent points. I recently did a video about heating solutions for an emergency and I spoke about heated blankets and heating pads. Both are excellent solutions. heating pads use less power but are smaller so there are pros and cons to both.

@@GetReadyPrepping awesome! Thanks I will watch that video again because I think you showed some hand warmers which I was also interested in and thank you for specifying the heating pad vs blankets, I might actually consider the pads to save on the initial cost as well as the power cost and was thinking that if they are smaller to designate them from my feet on up…. Sorry about these long messages I think I will just rewatch that video and seriously thanks 🙏❤️

@@SolarPunk80 You're very welcome! Absolutely no need to apologize for long messages. I genuinely enjoy discussing prepping topics with my fellow preppers. I learn as much if not more (probably more lol) from you guys than you guys do from me.

Yes exactly you still need to either boil or add bleach. It’s a filter not a purifier
