I believe every prepper needs TWO quality shortwave radios with SSB for tuning international/regional HAM signals to get uncensored eyewitness info if something big happens and the internet is shut down. And get solar power for charging the batteries and backup of everything. Keep a new glass solar panel and a couple of extra battery chargers put away safely and extra batteries. Buck converters to regulate the voltage of solar panels are great tools to power 12v devices that need to have `12 volts instead of the 17 to 22 volts some 100w panels produce. Get some of the 12v USB car chargers and wire them to MC4 cables so you can plug them directly into glass panels and 12v rice cookers and pans. Free cooking! No smoke. Learn how to properly care for all of it and master the radio SSB functions. KEEP the manual of the radio sealed up in a glass jar, etc.
Dollar Tree has an eyeglass fix kit. It is a good investment.
Don't forget your animals, and I don't mean your kids LOL
😂
Been prepping for my fur baby as long as I have prepared for myself... Course he is 12 this year
Canned dog food and mix with rice.
Catch minnows for cat.
😂😂
Always remember elderly and special needs family members have different needs- daily meds and vitamins, incontinence supplies, nutritional drinks, equipment that might need replacement parts, etc. I always keep a dollar store pack of glow stick bracelets, in case of a power outage, I will put one on each door knob, and at bedtime put 2 or 3 on the bedroom door it's a safe night light for kids, as well as 2 or 3 in the bathroom
Great idea!!
Thanks for sharing!
Brilliant!
Good Idea. Also look for those lightbulbs that have battery inside it. They work with switch with no power. The only drawback. The bulb is tall and fatter. I only had one lamp it will work on. Walmart just got a batch. Grab a couple. Look at your lamps.
Yes this is important!!! We need to help the elderly and especially people with special needs. They will be scared and maybe alone with nobody to help them.😢 I would help the older woman next to my apt out!
Pet food and supplies are a must. Dog food bags store for around a year and the same for cats. You wont want to divide your food with the pets.
This list is where I try to direct people who think prepping is a joke. Just to make them realise that it’s actually just plain old boring adult-ing not some exciting doomsday conspiracy.
Now I can direct them to this video. Thanks 🙏
Agreed! This is perfect for family members who refuse to prep: "See, even the Red Cross (or FEMA) recommends this, I am not making it up!" 😂
Thank you!
I have found that almost everyone forgets about charcoal. Almost everyone has a grill that you can use it in for cooking, boil water ect...
I know how to make charcoal from raw wood and I can get sand from a nearby creek, so I can make water filters. Even though I have store bought water filters, they will not work forever. Homemade water filters will be invaluable for Barter in a long term SHTF. Buy up some PVC pipe to help you make water filters.
@@lewis9888 Charcoal is going to be a must for most people. Too bad most people don't know about it, much less how to make it themselves. I do need to go pick up some pea gravel and sand though. That is scarce in nature in my area.
Redundancy in preparation is the best way to keep your self safe and ready...
When it comes to propane stoves.. buy quality I have a Primus two burner propane stove that my dad bought in 1971 when we went camping we have used it multiple times during power outages and during the 90s and early 2000s I used to take my kids camping and the Primus propane stove has never failed me it still looks like new except for a little bit of peeling paint on the exterior
As one who has been prepping for decades--before the term 'Prepper' was even used--I can Amen this vid. The only thing I'll add is to NOT underestimate your water consumption. Gallon a day is for bare minimum, scrungy existence, survival. Gotta clean the pits and teeth! For the 3-4 day disaster, usually attributed to weather, canned foods that don't require heating is a good way to go: rip and eat. Nothing more required and life gets back to normal. Been through a few ourselves. Anyway, good video and, yes, re-visiting the basics keeps us all out of the Mad Max Thunderdome scenario.
Agree on water 💯% . As for cans; most can be eaten cold although the joy of eating will non existent 😛
@@ApocGuy Aaww...nothin' better than a cold can of Wolf Brand Chili and a tepid beer to brighten up a local disaster! 🙂
In a serious long term emergency all bets are off. & Unless you live somewhere with adequate rainfall, you’ll need a way to water the garden.
Years back with an eye to the likelihood of gov takeover of communications I picked up an older console radio with a.m., f.m., 4 different s.w. bands and More (love it). Also added a scanner with Lots of aviation and first responder frequencies. Picked up a newer Victrola record player and have collected LOTS of 33 rmp records to make life better. I did this over the course of a decade+ as I've never had lots of money to burn. Just keep these lists in mind ALL the time and be prepared to jump when the fates dump something in your lap.
I picked up a battery backup DVD/CD player and lots of movies and music at garage sales and thrift stores for a buck or two apiece. God bless you.
On the eye sight thing, I picked up a few pairs of reading glasses from online, very cheap and in various magnification
@@Jean.A.squirrel I'm in the UK and we don't have that facility 😞

Local honey is great for seasonal allergies. I used to suffer with hay fever from February to November, eating local honey pretty much got rid of it.
I got in a bad habit of picking up a five pack of bic lighters every time I went to the store. This went on for a couple years. I have approximately 200 spare lighters now. I don't need matches. 😁I really need to work on my water storage though.
Ha ha, I think every prepper has one item that they overstock on.
Learn how to make charcoal from raw wood. Find a nearby creek to gather free sand. Buy up several 2", 3" or 4" PVC pipe to make water filters. Charcoal/sand water filters will be invaluable for Barter in a long term SHTF. Be prepared and be safe my friends. Keep Prepping.
Thank you for your level headedness. I feel that you help many people. Keep it up. I appreciate all the info you offer.
For laminating papers, you can buy some clear contact paper wrap (usually in housewares section of stores). Cut a piece 2x the size needed and sandwich this over item to be laminated. Rub out any creases and trim the edges.
Thanks for sharing!
As always JR, great video👍🏻
Thank you!
Many people think of CB citizens band 11 meter radios as old fashioned technology.. when the emergency happens many people will dig out their old CB radios out of the closet or out of their trunk and plug them in and hook them up.. one that works really well is a handheld walkie-talkie four watt 40 channel CB radio..BUT order yourself some telescopic replacement antennas as the 12-in rubber duck antenna does not transmit far at all.. I have talked from my driveway which is on a high spot 20 miles to my friend in his pickup truck on a handheld walkie-talkie... FRS in grms walkie talkies are good for talking around the neighborhood but you're only going to get about a mile with those with the terrain
I am a foodie, who cooks from scratch. Our kids are campers so have a camp stove. But, I have some very nice chrome chaffers, 2 smaller round ones and one double domed one. These are fueled by canned heat, ie Sterno. So, I keep a good supply of canned heat for emergency purposes as well as use them periodically for what they are designed for. Our last power outage was 40 10 hours. I pulled an oven rack out and put it on top of my glass top stove. I used 4 large 27 oz canes under each corner. That kept it low enough to place cans of Sterno (or whatever brand) I under the rack. One or two of them under my omelette pan, my 12” skillet, and my two sauce pans. I made our grand kids Kraft mac and cheese, and cut up some fresh veggies. For breakfast, I fried and scrambled eggs, browned bown N serve sausages, and made hash browns from the frozen potatoes. I “toasted” bread in the larger skillet. Had a great breakfast. We made grilled cheese sandwiches, some a little gourmet with sliced tomatoes and deli ham. The larger sauce pan heated up basil tomato soup. Some canned or fresh fruit, and some cookies that I always have some of my best homemade ones in the freezer. I have shelf stable milk. I also have some pretty tea pot warmers and also some thermal caraffes. Boil water and put in either of those and we have all the hot tea, coffee made in our French Press, instant cocoa, instant apple cider, etc. and we ate the same way we do when I use my electric stove, coffee maker. And, it really did not take much longer to prepare it and safely done inside. We also have a gas grill with 3 butane tanks. It is just inches outside of our sliding glass door. Cooks, bakes, grills and roasts/braises. These are all thing we have anyway. Now IF we run out of fuel, we have a 42” diameter fire pit. We live in the mountains and in a real pinch, especially in winter, we can cook on a grill we have for it, and in our Dutch ovens. I have been stocking up on the canned heat and the tea light candles….because we will always use them and they will never go bad.
Thank you for the video.
Good stuff to think about. Great video as always, JR.
Thank you!
Thanks for sharing. Take care😊
Since my cataract surgery I don't need glasses any longer but if I did I would look into those sport glasses they are correction lenses that are virtually unbreakable that look kind of weird like goggles but they won't break keep these for your spare
Excellent video, thank you JR! For cheap, quick "lamination" just write the info. on an index card and seal it in a zip top plastic baggie (sandwich sized.) Works great! Regular 8.5x11 sized paper can go in the gallon sized freezer baggies, or in a plastic page protector sleeve.
Thanks for sharing!
Great ideas. I've been saving how to and herb and gardening videos on a playlist. Going to start transferring them to notebook/etc. Now I know to protect those pages. God bless you.
Thank you for all these ideas!!! I have some, but now i have new ideas to continue prepping. Thanks!!!
Thanks .I need a charging station. Great reminder.
Thanks for watching Margo!
Thanks for all you common sense, professional demeanor, vids. You don't ramble, don't talk to fast and you're not scary. 👏🏽👏🏽
Thank you so much!
Awesome! Thank you!!
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching!
I got my rain barrel today
I think I ll store fresh water in mine. Maybe two. One fresh and One for gutter.
Thank you.
You’re welcome Charles!
I would like to give you an example of trade routes from the past. The trails the Indians and fur trappers use . The one that goes from the Gulf to Tennessee. If I am not mistaken I think most is a national park or state park. Then you have the Blue ridge parkway, and the mountain to sea trail. The Appalachian trail, and others. Just food for thought. Have a good day.
I need to be able to make coffee, lol. I have a collapsible silicone pour-over cone and a 8 cup camp percolator. 🏕 ☕️ Sacramento, California USA 🇺🇸
If we have an emergency and need stored food I better really like chef boyardee canned cheese ravioli meat ravioli because I buy a lot of this.. why because I love it when I add some quality parmesan cheese to it it's actually pretty good and it's so easy to pop a can and eat even cold! .. I've got these at sale for a dollar a can.. so not bad I won't mind eating these of course I do have other foods and I have a large container of MRE freeze dried meals by wise brand.. but those will be safe to last
Thank you, JR! I have been watching your East Texas videos for a long time, always excellent. Great for those who are not prepared.
Thank you Mary Jo!
East Texas? Me too! 😊
Diabetics need the meds and insulin, spare syringes/needles and alcohol.
I have had seems break on water bottles
. I like the camping big blue container
one is none, two is one and three is a spare.
Good video for beginners
Thanks for watching!
❤
Thanks for doing this video JR. Alot of people have no clue. I fo need to do more prepping and will do it this week. If I ration I probably have enough now for about 2 years....
Starbucks, Mc Donald’s, Tic Toc
I live in Florida and I use demon WP for outside bug control . Must be ordered on the internet.
Extra socks, underwear, jeans, and a sewing kit with buttons.
I would get a portable bidet like biobidet
If an EMP or CME happens it may be a good idea to have some windup clocks or watches?

Thank you Robert!
Are you saying that larger water containers will last longer, on the shelf, and why?
We have a hot tub and that water will handle bathing and even flushing of toilets if necessary, will water plants in a pinch etc. And, we have bottles saved up: 2 litre soda bottles, orange juice bottles, etc. and we can fill up multiple gallons of them within an hour or so if SHTF happens. I am looking at composting toilets, but going to start out with the chemicals and bags for them first. We can use a couple of 5 gallon buckets in a pinch. I do plan to buy a composting toilet but it is down on my bucket list. Praying it really never comes to needing one of those. Perhaps we could build an outhouse and use the composting chemicals in it. Actually our kids have a tend designed for showers and potties for camping. So, could use that if it got that bad.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
You can use wood shavings in your compost toilet. Not chemicals cos that isn't good for the garden or wherever your disposing your waste.. Google it for info
Thanks JR for another great video. I do have a food question. I have a lot of food stored in mylar with oxygen absorbers and also canned foods, but wanted to know the benefit of freeze dried foods, many of which have a 25 year shelf life if stored properly. Obviously the long shelf life is a plus, but unless I'm storing more than a several years worth of food what is the benefit of storing this much more expensive food? Thank you Sir.
I would say the price, buy it at todays price as it will only be going up, maybe even become hard to get hold of, as more people become aware of it and the need to store food.
I have many food items (including tins) in my pantry that have gone up over 30% in the last two years
I wouldn’t rely on them totally because of their price and nutrition concerns, but they are good for occasional morale boosters or if you need something fast. The Mountain House Lasagna tastes almost like a frozen Stouffers.
@@Lee_Proffitalot of food items have more than doubled since 2020
✝️🇺🇸👍🏻
Thanks for watching Ronald!
Did this list change? Has it always been 2 weeks of food/supplies at home?
I am pretty sure they updated it, it used to just say 3 days. Now JR said it says 3 days for evacuation plus 2 weeks for shelter in place!
Hi, just found you! What do you think of regular batteries vs. rechargeable ones. If youre recharging, you need electricity, which you may not have. So what you think??
Both!
5:10
He says rechargeable are good if you have a generator. They're also good just to have for daily use so you can save your disposables for emergencies.
Solar generator or if you still have a vehicle, a USB plug for your cigarette lighter socket and a USB charger
Hi Kathy! I have some solar power options, including some that are EMP-protected that can recharge my batteries. Since we got those, we don’t buy as many regular batteries, but if you don’t have a generator, the rechargeable could be used for everyday use as a cost saving measure, then you could store and save disposables for emergencies.
What’s happening is there and apocalypse coming soon
Do you think that disasters are scheduled?
@@graywind4326 i believe so too
@@Jean.A.squirrel I’m really worried we are worried that worst scenarios are coming for us soon
first all the ice cream sandwiches will not be around, furniture stores will have 75% off sales and worse, 7-11 will run out of slurppies. now you prep for what could happen, zombies, civil unrest, snow storms (stuck in house for a time) power outages, tornados, nukes (that one will be hard to prep for because you more then likely will be a (rad. monkey or dead) hurricanes, jsut plain old told to stay put because of a railroad derailment. etc. so 7-11 running out of slurppies will not be that bad.@@DamianMonroig530
I recently had to have a hip replacement. I had to drop to part-time at work, then had limited income for over a month. If I had not been prepared for emergencies, we would have been in trouble. Thank you for teaching us to prepare for emergencies of all kinds.❤
