You're always pretty rational while alot of other channels scream about the sky falling. i appreciate that you rock.
Thank you Trey!
Start buying laundry detergent in the large size with the button spout. After emptying the detergent reuse the plastic container by filling it with water to use as premixed slightly soapy water for hand washing. Mark bottles when storing. Came in handy for me recently as the town did pipe work and we suddenly had no running water for a whole day. Easy prep.
Evening JR. If you have a dehydrator, you can make your own "instant" rice. Cook the rice, then dehydrate. Package. They will rehydrate with hot water without having to boil this saving fuel in a grid down situation.... Pour heated chilli over the rice for a quick, filling meal.
Thanks for sharing Eric!
Can you do this with rice and beans together?
@@user-js2sp3in2o yes, but the rice will dehydrate faster than the beans. Dry them separately and then mix them for storage.
I did not know that! Thank you so much. I would love DIYPrepper do a video on this.
Good tip. Thanks for sharing.
BBQ during blizzard or hurricane 🤣🤣 You raise 2 important points on fuel generators: 1) running out of fuel, and 2) setting up the generator. I don’t have the strength for the set-up! I have EcoFlow and needed it only once to run my freezer. I have 2 EcoFlow and solar panels to recharge. Dont forget paper maps if the GPS FAILS.
Get organic maps, you can download all the states or just the tri state area. All offline to use,just need the Internet to get them.
Curious about the eco flow. How big a freezer and how long would it run before recharging?
Thanks for sharing!
We've got a bunch of pets, and bugging out is not an option. I'm in Elbert County, CO near Denver. No hurricanes here but we do get nasty blizzards and occasional bad thunderstorms. Thanks for the thumbs up on the EcoFlow. I hadn't heard of them before.
@@BuddyH69
There are utube videos on each model where they see how long each model is able to keep a refrigerator running. A freezer would last even longer
a fondue set is good for warming food
I have a 21 cu. ft. freezer dedicated to food that does not need refrigeration. This includes nuts, beans, oil, bread, snack bars, chips, etc. All extra space is filled with 1/2 gallon (OK,, the new half gallon is 52 oz) jugs of ice. In a power outage, this freezer gets no backup power. The foods I put in here get a couple extra years of life,, without the nuisance of rotating my stock. When I take something out that item gets added to my shopping list. Flour and rice get transferred to jars, frozen 3 days to kill larvae, and stored at room temperature. Jars with metal lids are wonderful for freezing, and grain storage and are free (pickles, sauerkraut, some spaghetti sauce).
Great idea!
Great video JR. I'm splitting wood today in preparation for another crazy winter here in the North....love it though. Cheers from Alberta!
Thanks for watching!
We got 5 years worth of tree length logs this year. Planning for the future 👍
@sweetsuccesstrading5097 That's awesome. Good planning and stay warm. Nothing like wood heat.....
I just got home from Ontario and Toronto!! Border was mean. Next is Victoria. Beautiful
@@sweetsuccesstrading5097I’m 61 and have cut 6 cords every year. My mom passed and this is the first year I’m not doing wood. Sad
I use propane on the regular. It is how we cook and heat daily. In 2000 we had a catastrophic ice storm here in Southwest Arkansas. We were without power for 38 days. We did just fine. However,my kids and husband drove me crazy because the internet was down. Make sure you have games and books for entertainment.
How often do you swap the water out of your water containers?
The localized disasters are a bigger threat than national or world wide. If we are prepared for our local then it’s easy to build on the prepping foundation for larger disasters. Great information, JR!
Thank you Gilbert!
I use buddy heaters at my cabin, we don’t have a wood burner yet. But they definitely help keep the chill off.
I'm a big fan of them. I've used them at home, while hunting, and on camping trips. Thanks for watching!
Power outages are our main issue that are most likely to happen. They can go for days.
Below freezing weather combined with no electricity is the biggest fear I have each year. It can kill and it can ruin an entire house with frozen pipes.
I had the same concern here in Texas several years ago when we had an ice storm for a week. I didn’t loose power, but when it was over, I researched heating options and bought a vintage kerosene heater on eBay. I liked it so well that I now have four. One heater heats my small house toasty warm. Just keep a window cracked for ventilation.
@@njwood51 That's good to know. I have a kerosene heater, as yet unused, and I wondered if they were a good solution. You've answered my question.
Great advice as always. We due tend to forget about the natural disasters pop up every year.
Thank you Stephen!
I'm a fan of Aquatainers. The containers the sell water in these days are so thin...they leak under their own weight over time.
just buy the 5 gallon ones. I have 100+ gallons in the 7-1/2 gallon containers and they crush under their own weight with only 2 high after a time. After more research the manufacture says they are not to be stacked full only empty. The 5 gallon ones are approved to be stacked full of water. Don't make my mistake. I now only put 5 gallons in my 7-1/2 gallon containers and they don't get so mad anymore.
@@liffy8333 Thank you for the heads up.
I purchased the River 2 last year on prime day and the Delta 2 this year on prime day. It really gives my family an additional sense of security to know we will always have electricity.
Hi Rick! Another good thing about having 2 is you can bunny hop them. You can use one while the other is charging. Thanks for watching!
We got a dual fuel generator to recharge our solar generators since our power failures may be from snow storms when there is no sun. You can recharge a solar generator usually in 2-4 hours.
Few years back I smoked a brisket for thanksgiving...25mph winds and snowing. Family has to eat something good and I love brisket lol!
We're fairly well prepped for a natural issue lasting a couple of weeks. Frankly, if it's nuclear war, I don't want to be around to see what happens next. (Besides, we're only 50 miles from NORAD.) We're just southeast of Denver, in Elbert County, CO. No hurricanes here, but we do get nasty blizzards and some bad thunderstorms. Thanks for the info on the EcoFlow systems. I will be looking into those. And thanks for the video!!
I have a camp stove but plan to get a solar set up with a single plate induction stove as open flames are not allowed in multi-household buildings in my city (although tea lights under a roasting tin are my backup). I have a camping shower which is a black plastic bladder, that can be used sitting in my south facing window, even in winter to heat water for washing in a power outage. And I have a folding camping solar panel to recharge a power bank that recharges my camp lanterns and phone. But I am city centre, apartment based so there are big limitations on my bigger scale capabilities.
I’ve said it before
I’ll say it again
You and your videos are among the best on TH-cam currently
Top 3 in my opinion for its delivery and base of knowledge shared on gear and scenarios
Besides the fact that is plain to see you were raised well. So my compliments to the chefs
You are also a responsible young man who I can clearly see, cares about his family deeply
You have a corny sense of humor, which for some reason I connect with
Idk why but it does
And you are extremely articulate and well-spoken and intelligent
Truly intelligent people know the difference between being intelligent and smart
I’m sure many here would agree with my sentiments
Anyway, enough compliments
I know quite a bit about prepping and survival and have been doing it most my life
As a 16 year disabled combat veteran, 18b who attended SERE training as well I still learn different things from you and others and I thank you for sharing that knowledge with us
I am alone now except for when one of my kids decides to poke their heads in and pay me a visit however I prep for them as well. They don’t connect with this nor did my wife but I do and it’s here for them more than me at this point
I just worry about them when I’m no longer here or able
Looking forward to you sharing more here as well as your other channel
Open a Patreon, I will support your work brother
Keep up the good work 👍
God bless you and your family 🙏✌️🇺🇸
Thank you! I really appreciate it!
Yep, I totally agree, JR has his head wrapped around it and his feet are firmly planted. So appreciated in my tribe. Thanks again and stay safe out there :)
Just read your comment, and I agree with you on just about everything you wrote!! I have been into prepping for about 6 years. I'm on my own, too doing the best I can but most of my family think I'm nutcase!!!! So I prepare for them anyway!!!!!! I live in a total different state from the family, but I am happy on my little homestead with my 8 rescue dogs and 4 rescue cats❤🎉❤ Best of Luck to you!!
Awesome preppers advice, practical and straightforward for a preppers of any level. I haven't upgraded my original Delta Pro yet, but it has been completely reliable so far. My old Eco Flow Delta is still going strong after years, although I don't use itna ton.
If you live in Florida or anywhere along the coastline where hurricane winds and storm surges can strike and you are elderly or have a chronic medical condition that makes it hard to survive without air conditioning, the best thing you can do is evacuate if a hurricane is predicted to strike your local power grid. And if you have a vehicle, evacuating in this vehicle will save it from getting flooded or crushed. Even if you have no money for a motel room, you could camp in your vehicle in a parking lot a hundred miles or more away from the danger zone until it was safe to return home (or until you can travel farther to live with out of state relatives). The last thing you want is to be stuck for weeks in a grid down disaster zone if you need air conditioning for survival or need power for your medical devices.
hello diy prep, purchased a ecoflow delta 2 , 2 years ago. works great,
Thanks for sharing!
How long can I store water from the faucet in a water container? Should I add a preservative to it? Thanks
Thank you JR for sharing your intelligent insights. It's very helpful and I always pick up some great ideas from you.
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching!
Thanks JR. We really enjoy your presentation and the great information you share. God Bless🙏🏼
ENERGY! is your main goal ...We had a blackout for only 5 hrs recently, I already have a solar generator so, I was able to use my microwave and plug in Wifi too? however, I realized I'll need more than one portable generator if a blackout via EMP happens ! POINT IS you need several
Will and EMP knock out an unshielded generator; even a solar generator?
@@dancinginabundance YES you'll need to make your own faraday cage I used a metal 31 gallon trash can and metal tape, Google how to do this OK? As this is paramount to your survival Good luck....2 us all!
thanks for the great info, I have a small bluetti and love it.
Nice! Thanks for watching!
That is what I got too, just 600 watts but for now, it's all I could afford.
Filled my propane today
Bought the EcoFlow however I could only afford the Delta 2 Max wit 2kwh plus I purchased the additional battery that expands it to 4kwh. It was all I could afford at this moment
I want to purchase the 400w flexible solar panels as well. In time
This was the best I could do for now
Otherwise I have Champion dual fuel @ 7500 I believe it is
So I will make do with these two for now
EcoFlow does a trade in to buy up so when I can afford it I may trade in and buy up
I also keep a Jackery 500 for smaller devices
Always love and look forward to your videos sir 👍✌️🇺🇸
Thank you! The Delta 2 Max is one of my favorite systems.
Thank you for the "down home" advice!! You have given me so many great ideas. Thank you so much!!! Keep up the GREAT advice!!!
God Bless!!!
Good advice jr thanks
You’re welcome Terry! Thanks for watching!
Do solar panels/generators still work after EMP?
Thank you, JR for always providing good content. Your videos have helped me and my family on our prepper journey.
MAGA ✝️🇺🇸👍🏻
Thank you Ronald!
Have you done any research on diy gasification systems for heat and power production? Not really a portable option and takes some time and effort to get established, but I feel like it could be one of those preps that could really act as a long term solution for multiple applications.
I’ve been really interested in creating my own system for quite some time now, and have thought about using insulated water collection reservoirs as a battery alternative, using the gasifier to heat the water like a rocket stove, and when you’re ready to use the stored energy you could use a sterling engine to convert the temperature difference back into electricity using an alternator. I feel like there are a lot of gaps to fill in to make this a viable option but I really like the idea of having such a sustainable system for long term heat and energy production. Could even have one on wheels and roll it into a greenhouse to grow food year round. Thanks for all the awesome videos, I’d love to hear you mention this idea and play devils advocate with it. Much love!
In Arizona, we don't really have "natural disasters", and it's all about the high temperature summer, as far as negative natural Earth effects. I have 8 months of canned foods,
which taste good and keep for 10 years ( I've tested that) along with instant long grain rice and Ramen noodle soup packages, which keep for at least 3 years. I like the no
cooking needed foods for "SHTF", and the instant rice is quite fine after just soaking in room temperature water for 1 1/2 hours. The Ramen noodles are nice at only 30
minutes of soaking. I have 8 months of water, I bottled myself, with my Brita faucet mounted filter in 2 liter bottles - it's easy and costs only $0.02 per bottle.
Unfortunately, the power in our area has been questionable. Power has threatened to go out several times during just about every summer storm we've had. So definitely a concern going into winter. So i now own a buddy heater, solar generator, and other means to stay warm. Even a pop-up tent to set up in an outage.
I recently bought an Ecoflow II. I want to also purchase a bi-fuel generator to run on propane. I can use this to charge the solar generator when there is no sun.
How can I get my husband to actively start shopping for home protection? I talk and talk and nothing.. we can't afford much at all but surely we can get something.. I don't feel safe in the event something should happen yet still does nothing
Thank you!
Love these videos boss thanks for the practical advice and tips
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Highly suggest updating your spare to an airless tire.
Good info as always! 🇺🇸
Thank you!
You do a great job !!! Thank you !!
The delta 2 and others are way over what I can afford on a pension. Any suggestions
Excellent information, JR.
Thank you Paul!
Informative video. Thank you
You’re welcome Steven! Thanks for watching!
Where is a good place to store Kerosene k-1?
Expect everything at the same time from now on…
Hi JR
Hi Susan!
Thank you, JR! Try to stay cool!
Woohoo!
Thanks for watching Bill!
I have only tried Nutrient Survival’s Lasagna and thought it was not very good tasting. Anyone try any of there foods? If so what do you think about the taste. I personally like the Mountain House and Peak freeze dried packs I’ve tried.
What type of water containers do you use? Thanks
I use a mixture of 7-gallon aquatainers, military water cans, and water bricks.
A water bob for an extended water supply. They hold 100 gallons.
Indian traditional lifestyle is truly made for such situations. Every house used to have their individual wells, and With cow dung cakes used for fuel. Just put a solar panel on top and you would be good to go.
If anyone wants to chime in on their thoughts on long-term fuel storage with something like FUEL LIFE brand I would be interested in hearing your thoughts. That particular brand claims up to two years of fuel stabilization
STA-BIL fuel stabilizer is the only one I've heard of.
I have 2 inverter cooktops, so I can cook inside if we loose power.. oh we have a solar generator for power
MPOX. It's real and spreading.
Great video like always! I didn't know some of these items existed!
Thank you! Glad I could help!
Go to JR's description and find the checklist link, sign up and get his 22 page checklist. you will not regret it. Super complete and easy to follow :)
Excellent vid. We don’t get the same sort of weather in the U.K. but we were glad to have a jump pack on hand when the truck didn’t start at a local nature reserve with 0 cars around! 😅
I had to use mine a couple of months ago. The heat here really zaps car batteries. Thanks for watching!
