When we had the Texas ice storm in 2021, our heat went out and our neighbors graciously let us borrow a space heater. I had a newborn baby and we stayed hunkered down in his nursery. I would rock him and cry in that warm room. Both from gratefulness for the heater and also disappointment that I wasn’t prepared. It was game on from that point on for my preparedness journey. But I’ll NEVER forget the kindness of my neighbor.
When I was barely a month old, in 1955, power went out in an ice storm in our city. My folks managed to get me to the home of friends in the country, who had a wood burning stove.
You might be better prepared if you moved out of Texas. The PTB don't have your best interests in mind if they let that happen to you in the first place.
Your comments about ex-military are spot on. Two of the most destructive men I’ve ever worked with were ex-military and thought they knew it all plus were very strong type A personalities. They destroyed teams at work and had very hard time keeping their marriages intact. One of the best bosses I ever had was also a veteran but quiet, capable and humble. That’s the kind of vet I want in my group. The first two bozos would be turned away.
I'm a master custom cowboy boot maker in Texas. And a leather crafter in general. I've often thought that I could fall back on boot and shoe and leather repair during SHTF. Thanks for bringing that up.
Ya when my grandparents passed, we found over 100 jars of canned food and money under their house. Times were different, people were different. I’d sure like to go back in time and talk to them a little more
My UPS driver has seen allot brought to my house. He said jokingly I know we're I'm going to go. I politely said, your good dude but that's last thing I want to hear. I have limited supplies I would suggest start buying your own.
That is a two way street. Just because law may not arrive, doesn't mean that training does not exist. Theoretically asking, if they can't even save up some food - how likely are they to be training with a weapon? Often it seems they assume that all the rest of society are docile fools. Eventually they will meet a match.
In the gold rush days the Canadian police wouldn't let people pass through to Alaska if they didn't have 1000 pounds of food and supplies to survive the first winter. I hope to be able to help some but I know that I can't help everyone. If they show up at my house they better have 1000 pounds of food.
Are churches now so greedy or dysfunctional, that they would not even plan or want to set up soup kitchens? Why aren't churches and synagogues prepping? Aren't they already somewhat aligned to be peoples survival tribes? At least some places of worship are prepping in the sense of taking security seriously, quietly encouraging members to conceal carry. Maybe they have no intention of being a soft-target for trouble-makers. Perhaps some Jews are doing likewise, since hating on Jews seems to be strangely trending?
@@chesslover8829 Canned food can also be eaten cold. I do not always re-warm leftovers, especially if there is something that should not be reheated in the clam-shell. It is also beneficial to live in an area that rarely has freezing weather. If you have a fancy enough solar backup system, it might be possible to run a small window air conditioner, and not just a refrigerator. But aren't such systems very expensive and complicated? However, maybe by not running any fan, it would be easier in the quiet to hear the sounds of intruders?
Glad you guys are addressing this NOW, while there's still time. We've all had family or friends utter those words, "If the SHTF, I know where I'm going!" And generally, it's said in jest or perhaps as a "probing statement", kinda to judge your reaction and to see if that will save them from the hard work of "prepping". In the past, I've responded with, "Don't come empty handed!!!" I'm especially averse to "helping" friends or family whom I've warned-repeatedly to get their arse in gear and start with small steps. "IF" someone says those words, one might respond with, "And what do YOU bring to the table?!?" Harsh??? Yes, but so is STARVING and watching your kids suffer and die.
A close family member that's 30 with 2 small boys aged 1 and 3 is doing nothing to prep but instead is thinking of having another baby. Just oblivious of what could happen I feel sorry for her.
Everyone made fun of me until the pandemic, then Begged from me. I gave it to them - family and friends. Now they have forgotten and learned nothing. I won’t do it again.
Embattled, you're spot on. U can't trust anyone. Have a small box of food on side u can afford to lose to them. Get 4 pairs identical changes clothes each 2 sizes larger than next so they'll think u r losing weight like everyone else.
Advice is best thing to give. Be the squirrel quietly hoarding nuts. The trolls over at the now defunct Kiwifarms lived by a key rule, and that was; to "NEVER reveal your power level."
We've got a little over 2 years of resources (food, water filtration, etc.. ) and seeds to carry us a bit further as well as the weapons and ammo to protect everything. We also have about 200 pounds of rice and beans trade with or parcel out to help others if absolutely needed. We follow the grey man approach and our friends, family and neighbors have no idea we are preppers.
Thank you for addressing this! My brother in law made the comment “I know where we will go”. I looked at my husband and we both politely let him know that he’s more than welcome to come with his own preps but don’t expect for us to take care of them. We have kids and he doesn’t and we are preparing now to take care of the 4 of us. He needs to start preparing on his own.
Thank you and God bless all of your families! I grew up with depression era family members and prepping was part of our lifestyle. Each one of our family group brings something to the table. It's a given. You don't work. You don't eat. You can't follow house rules, you're gone. We are all concealed carriers and even the great grandkids know how to handle a strap and blade and start a campfire from almost nothing. Family campouts are part of the training.
Yes, family is a big problem. I have told them for years to prep. They just laugh and don't think anything is going to happed. My brother told me, why do you need more than 50 rounds ? if you can't stop it in 50 you shouldn't have a gun. He is only thinking of a single incident. Has no clue what is coming. No food preps or water or anything else. I gave up trying. But I would say 99.999% of the population believe the same. So neighbors will also be a problem.
I agree. In my opinion, why else would you not prepare. In any fashion. Why not have 1 week of food, energy, medical, security. Why????? I do not understand. I have tried to get answers. Not arguing, just asking questions based in logic.
The other reason is magical thinking, if they don't let the thought of something bad happening to them or their family cross their mind then it will never happen and they will never have to deal with uncomfortable situations.
my view is that we have been attempting to wake up MANY folks, to be prepared, for years now. My best friend of 3 decades always remarked that she would come to my home UNTIL one day, I said it wasn't going to happen....she preps now. The worst thing I've seen is folks buy electronics, arms-overkyl and everything else except filling a pantry...so sad.
I don't know anyone that is a prepped like me. My friend keeps saying what are we going to do when there's no food in the store. I have told her over and over to start putting some food in her basement and stock up. She doesn't do anything so I I stopped telling her.
Thanks for all the great straight talk. You guys don’t beat around the bush but neither do you do doom and gloom. You just pass along common sense and facts. I appreciate that.
I have to admit it, I am envious of your group. Having a hard time finding and putting one together. May have to go out into my subdivision searching for like minded people. Will pray. Thank you for your guidance during these times..... and the way you present your subjects. Blessings over you & yours.
We've made up signs to deploy along the road to our house that says Trespassers Will be Shot. Beware of Dogs......and yes do have two large German shepherds that definitely mean business.
2020 opened my eyes I'm still not as prepared as I want to be but I'm working on it. I'm 56 installed flooring for over 30 years now I'm disabled I ruptured 2 discs in my back and broke my leg & hip so I'm limited physical y but I've hunted a fished my whole life I grow a garden I'm slowly getting back into shape. I pray every day shtf doesn't happen but I'm not blind I can see it coming. It's me my significant other and her son and I'm the only one prepping they think I'm just paranoid but like I told them being cautious & paranoid are two different things. Thank you for this video!!! Stay safe brother's
I'm not answering the door. My front door will be barricaded so i will only have one way in or out. I gave my non prepper family members each a prep bag, food and water, water purification and fire making.they have light sources and several sharp rools. I told them that i dont care what they do with every thing i gave them but dont expect me to do heroic measures for them since they made my life hell while i was working hard to be in a good position.
Live in S FL where folks are or seem to be impervious to down situations. Heck, I've seen people take their produce back to the store for credit because they stored up before a hurricane and were spared.
@wmluna381 The wife works at Walmart, and folks bring back water, milk, meat, the staples they buy ( beans, rice, noodles, and so on ). Some of the products they bring back can not be salvaged. What mentality.
If you look, most Americans are getting what you call "handouts". We just tend to notice when it's minorities and immigrants receiving aid. And as long as you're looking, check out how long it takes an average immigrant to pay back to the Treasury for any aid they have received, and to start paying INTO the Treasury through their taxes. (About three years.) Immigrants will add trillions to our GDP over the next forty years. Or we could let racists cost us those trillions, and be stuck with more racists.
I have no problem turning family away. I have warned them over and over and they have not done a damn thing for me and my immediate family in any form. They are on their own
April 2020 sure open my eyes to how doubting family members ridicules a prepared family member, then crawls back to attempt to gain and not pay for those items one stocks up. “Are you going to replace what you use?” “No, I am your brother, you do not expect me to replace the items you stored and I used.”
I've prep / do prep for a 1 year SHTF SCENARIO (general) in the and food and supplies department . My extended family thinks it's a joke beyond 2 of my cousins. I also have live animals,grow vegetables,and a well(water) which can/ should extend that 1 year and supplies in best case scenario. I also purchase / make a extra 1/3 of dry goods/ preserved foods and general supplies for " family" & " friends" who will have to learn the hard way. If I have to bug out it's a whole different story,but that's the absolute worse case and a last ditch scenario in my head. It isnt that hard to put a few more 5 gallon buckets of dried beans and rice up for hungry mouths. They last decades and are relatively cheap.
A lot of us, when asked theoretically about a certain situation that involves survival, say "I would do this" or "I would do that". But we can't be 100% sure of what we are actually going to do until SHTF and you are faced with the edge of the sword.
I plan to teach my neighbors what wild foods to eat. If they see me in my yard eating minors lettuce and chick weed, they aren't going to think I have lots of supplies. That plan will only work in the summer months. I fear for my garden at that point. As for my step children I sent all but one a food storage bucket. Another idea is if you deal with your frozen food immediately you can dry it.there is a way to make pemican with dry meat,,dry berries and peanut butter. It lasts a long time and people won't smell it cooking 2 weeks into the emergency.
I always had my pantry full. My husband and I were missionaries in Honduras, we’ve been back seven years. The year there was an attempted coo.. we had 24 hrs if no electricity, no internet, no leaving the house. We lived in the capital city. A couple days later they allowed us to leave to go to the grocery store between 8-10 am, now in a city of a million and a half people… our mission president and his wife and one of my teachers and her family couldn’t get to the grocery store so they came over and shopped at my house. I blessed to be able to help them. But yes you have to be able to say sorry and it is best to not spread the news of being a prepper.
@@LaurieJohnson-ok8ls I have been to Honduras. I felt bad for them and it made me appreciate what I have here. I don't have much but am grateful for what I do have.
We live in a rural neighborhood. There is a house 3 homes up that is a drug house. All 3 kids grew up & lived in that house..they are now adults in their 30’s…the mom moved off somewhere else. The son came over once to get eggs…they dont work…they are the FIRST people I worry about mooching
I saw what happened when people were literally slugging each other on black friday at Walmart for the same discounted item in short supply and I ran to the check out lane. Or the time i was home watching the news and crews from the news room were reviewing how adults fought one another on Christmas Eve so their child received a Cabbage Patch Doll under the tree? Recently, with covid, the shelves were left empty at every grocery store that carry toilet paper and i barely had enough during lock down sheltered in place. Normally where i now live it is recommended to buy in bulk so you don’t run out every week to replenish because things can get real un natural during the year. And renting a storage locker is a bad idea! You are so right to becareful of a woman nursing to spread the word who gave her some provisions. Two guys decended on me for hand outs. And had to turn them away. I amnot the department of welfare.
My philosophy is if they have skills of value and food themselves they can share, but need protection, I don't mind having help. If they have neither, they shouldn't be surprised that the next time they come back in a less than welcoming manner, they will be dealt with. I'm trying to survive with my family and want fewer people in my group I don't fully trust. Most importantly to be left alone.
No blood family lives around us. I’ve sent them vids on doing some prepping, only to rebuff. Told friends about prepping some stuff, it’s been met with laziness. Don’t think I’ll be answering my door if anyone knocks.
Having a gardener in the group is important. A good gardener knows a lot. Often times, they also have picked up adjacent hobbies: food preservation, cooking, plant identification, knowledge of insects, minor plumbing knowledge/minor pumps and motors, tool sharping, etc.
@@sarahgrooms5606 you've told them so now your conscious is clear. Hide your stuff and if the time comes share small bags of rice or can of soup at a time with them so it looks like that's all you have. This will help you ration what you have and eliminate waste to make things go farther. Start learning how to fish or hunt and learn about wild edibles in your area and teach your family about the wild edibles.
Praying for you bud from Alabama. Im not sure of you circumstances, but here dried rice ,dried beans,and the buckets to store them can be acquired for about $ 200 american . Enough to last 4 people food for 3 months to 6 months depending on rationing . Rice& beans have plenty of Calories,protein,and carbs to carry on.
1. Keep in mind church and city sources you can refer people to...keep them moving away from your door. 2. You are right, educate people BEFORE an event. Try to get those people to start with a few EXTRA cans on payday. Moving on from there. During an event, I suggest it will frustrate the meet as the walker will already be overwhelmed by the crisis when they show up at your door. Be prepared with two levels of reaction -- you and a backup. 3. Family/close friends. We all have to prepare our heart now. Pre warn them but when they show up, have a small package ready to pass out. Something like an inexpensive noodle package and a can of tuna wrapped in a paper bag. Tell them this is it AND DO NOT RETURN. 4.During a crisis, you can tell how hard it is in the community. You should be eating just what you need to survive to extend your food stores. You should lose weight but not in line with those who eat much less. 5. Small portions cooked indoors and ate quickly to reduce cooking smells. Buy the way, fuel to cook will be valuable. Tiny or small stoves using wood scraps and twigs have value. I taught this topic for years and told the students, when this happens, wood fences will disappear quickly. 6. Learn what WEEDS you can gather to stretch your diet. Most people will revert to victims or hunters and gatherers -- from all sources. Those who live near by will see you and may follow the example and take some pressure off you. Last, plan and be prepared to guard you location 24 hours a day. Just know that snakes, predators and varmints are watching. Switch off. Good topic.
You don’t know how good it feels to be able to go through something like the pandemic or a tornado, earthquake, or hurricane and have supplies on hand. You’ll be able to eat, and feed your family., even close friends. You’ll be set for a while. Even if you don’t plan for SHTF, it’s good to have a store set back in case something does happen. I saw COVID coming down the pike early, and prepared to lock in beforehand. You have to look ahead on this stuff, follow the news, be informed. Keep ahead, and you won’t be lacking.
Brother w/wife & 2 kids said he'd come to my place. Told him bring lots of food. And on the real... might offer to take in one child, but not the whole family.
The people that scare me the most are those that actually seem to look forward to a SHTF scenario, wherein they can strut their stuff, put on their gear and go out and shoot people. It's a fringe element, but they're out there.
I hope to never use my gear , my real hope is for the rapture and to be called home to be with Jesus , I've hoped that I'm prepping can be used by future Christian. Will see .
Y'all mentioned your friend Don and his dad giving him hell for prepping, I've experienced the same thing! My Dad and sisters both gave me grief for having a few "freedom seed dispensers", but when the plandemic hit and the riots started, who did they call BEGGING and pleading for SOMETHING to protect their homes with?!?!?
I don’t have a table. I don’t even have a bed. Finally, I don’t have 3 meals a day. I only get $75 a month for food. There are days at a time in which I don’t get a single meal a day. So when I go 2 days in a row that I get a meal a day, I am ecstatic! I didn’t eat yesterday but a friend brought me some milk and another friend brought me some milk, chicken noodle soup and my prescriptions, both in the same day. I am truly blessed and grateful. I try to prep in as many ways that I can find resources for. I need a rich family to adopt me before SHTF so I can show that I can be an asset in many ways, anyway. I can’t prep for others. I can barely prep for myself.
@@wannabe4668 No I can’t work. I am disabled. I’m on a fixed income. I check with all sorts of freebie resources to get extra food and a really good friend gets me milk and food on a regular basis but I only see her once every two or three weeks or so. I make it. I wasn’t complaining at all. Just trying to make a point that you don’t have to eat every single day in order to survive and that I’m grateful for what I do have. Too many people complain if they have to skip a meal here or there. Most people don’t know hard times. They only know that they had it hard that one time because they didn’t have pizza money.
@@kimmin7422 Yes. Some of the local churches help including my own. My own church gave me store cards to buy groceries. Trust me, I go to all the local churches that have pantries. My apartment complex even has a free table where I can pick up groceries that other residents donate for other tenants. Thank you for the suggestions.
You’re going to have to keep your chickens a secret, which isn’t easy. People who have seen chickens at your place will become the raccoons who will come eat them
My family isn't welcome... To many painful memories of abuse. She wanted to go on trips to get expensive purses ( during Covid) she better have food set aside. I spent the past few years working on various skills...
U know people even when to get plastic surgery 😂😂 I didn’t notice or relied but my family did 😂😂 U always said u r poor no food 🍱 money 💰 electricity ⚡️ utilities money 😂 Some spending 20,000+ out uk 🇬🇧 and USA 🇺🇸 Covid 😂😂then governments was issued money 💰 and fly foods in (these people came back 😂flash their citizenship card) 😂😂
Crawl spaces are great. When I was a kid my dad cut a 3' sq hole in his closet floor, covered by the plywood he cut and carpet. He would store valuables there when we vacationed. (Probably more than I know, now that I "understand" the world better)
If people aren't trying to prepare at all (not even a little bit), it's kind of like the story of the Little Red Hen. The lazy barn yard animals were given the opportunity to help (even in small ways) mother hen bake her bread. None of them did anything. However, when it was time to eat the bread, all the lazy barn yard animals wanted some. Mother Hen said no...she had her own hungry baby chicks to feed. Maybe have a set of baggy clothes (too big for you to begin with) that you can start to wear if things go south. Then at least you look like you have lost weight.
Picking someone who is the best leader is a good idea. You don't need two hands on the wheel. That person listens to everyone's input, but makes the final decisions
Decomp gives off a very unppleasant odor. Perhaps that odor will deter some refugees from coming near your place..same with the smell of burning flesh (as in animal hides, etc). You are right, you need a plan, and your group must agree to the conditions.
I carry a small plastic convenience bag to work. It has Tylenol, Tums, bandages, a Dollar Tree rain poncho, and eyeglass cleaning wipes. I had to remove it from my backpack after I had a company issued jacket stolen from my pack. I now carry it on my person. In short, most people are NEVER PREPARED. Another more generous kit I used to have in my backpack now stays locked in my car. It reaches the point where you have to refuse helping, because they never learn to think ahead. And I wont even go into detail about pens, a notepad, chewing gum or instant drink mixes (I work 12-hour nightshifts at a federal facility outside town, so a trip to a store or a restaurantis not permitted.)
I have a sister and her husband that refuse to prep. I knew that some day them may need supplies. Each month for six months I bought long term storage foods and gave it to them. The supplies are stored in their basement now. I gave them a possibility to survive for a while. The rest is on them now. I would extremely suspect of any woman with a baby that showed up asking for assistance. That is the most used ruse to attack unsuspecting people. Family that stated they would just show up, I told them that they could only stay and work if they brought a years worth of food with them. I let them know that what they brought is the only thing they would eat and that the garden we would be planting is what every one would eat.
Sorry of them Notttt to Prep !!! Good for you, for Telling them that !!! 👏👍 .... You have to Protect "YOURRRR HOUSEHOLD/FAMILY - above everyyyyone else !! (Theyyy would !!!)
I've had people tell me that they're coming to my place. However, they've all been from out of state ... many states from me! They just don't understand what will be going on!!
You said you will tell the supplicant, "We only have (x) amount of food left." Bad answer. Those people hear how much you have left, it will--no matter how much or how little--seem like you have some or all to spare. In that case you should hope you will be able to defend against those with ill intent.
I’ve spent every weekend for the last year getting ready. Between pressure canning, freeze drying, Mylar bags and 5 gallon buckets I have invested my time and money. I’m not providing an easy life for no one. I’m exhausted and keep going. I haven’t done this for every Tom, Dick, and Harry .
I tried telling my mom this; i spend $1000 a month on health insurance, why would I not have 6-12 months of food for my kids etc just in case? My grandfather grew up in the depression and always kept food but she doesn't seem to get it
It's harsh, but so is reality. If they're not in my inner circle, then I have no interest in putting myself at risk by trying to support the unprepared. If they slept through the pandemic and shortages and Katrina and a thousand other examples, they're not an asset to the gene pool. For those in my circle, then yes, I'll adjust to the circumstances. IF, the community pulls their head out of their..sandbox, then I'll support the community effort in various ways. As for the desperation aspect, I'd treat those as any other intruder. I'm doing my part by not being one of that desperate herd. Without rule of law, that herd will be thinned. Again, they could have prevented that with some common sense. During the civil unrest, I told my mother's doctor, if she needed something to call me, and I would get it to her (her husband was an EMT, also worth saving). During the craziness of the TP and other shortages, I supported the local post office gals, because they were good people, and good people deserve to not worry about things while they help to keep things stable.
Hi I am so glad I found your channel I have also subscribed to Mr. Robbie’s channel. I have questions but I’ll limit to 2 for now. How do I go about finding a group near me when I really don’t know anyone especially anyone interested in survival or prepping? What if I can’t afford to equip my vehicle or items against an EMP?
I've been called a HOARDER, even by family members. That didn't stop them from asking for something when they needed it. Now they see after being shut in during the virus WHY I do what I do.
I have a very great community to work with. Helps that I don't say anything to anyone. Anyone not in the group, or willing to work will be turned away.
One of my coworkers said he would wait for me to come to the door and take me out. As far as family....I know my niece will be banging on my door 1st thing.

Same with my grandmother and grandfather. She always had a stockpile of canned and jarred supplies in her coal cellar
Same with my grandparents and parents.
My grandmother was born in 1924 and while she had a hard time parting with things, she didn't even have a garden. She was a city girl.

Canned food can also be eaten cold. I do not always re-warm leftovers, especially if there is something that should not be reheated in the clam-shell.
It is also beneficial to live in an area that rarely has freezing weather.
If you have a fancy enough solar backup system, it might be possible to run a small window air conditioner, and not just a refrigerator. But aren't such systems very expensive and complicated? However, maybe by not running any fan, it would be easier in the quiet to hear the sounds of intruders?

"IF" someone says those words, one might respond with, "And what do YOU bring to the table?!?" Harsh??? Yes, but so is STARVING and watching your kids suffer and die.
They won't be saying these words if they don't know in the first place.
Another unfortunate truth is that as a person with a big heart and a shoulder to lean on, we can’t possibly help everyone. It’s just not doable!
Exactly. Like the saying goes: "If you're a giving person, learn your limits -- because takers don't have any."
A close family member that's 30 with 2 small boys aged 1 and 3 is doing nothing to prep but instead is thinking of having another baby. Just oblivious of what could happen I feel sorry for her.
Put stuff aside for the children's sake. Your conscience will throttle you otherwise.
@@briskettacos that’s how you would feel I would not caring turning down kids their not mine
feel sorry for their kids
Everyone made fun of me until the pandemic, then Begged from me. I gave it to them - family and friends. Now they have forgotten and learned nothing. I won’t do it again.
Have your REAL pantry hidden. Your PUBLIC pantry can be 2 shelfs in the kitchen.
Watch the best prepper film ever made PANIC IN THE YEAR ZERO@@embatbr
Don't just educate them but give them seeds n teach them to plant n harvest n can.
Embattled, you're spot on. U can't trust anyone. Have a small box of food on side u can afford to lose to them. Get 4 pairs identical changes clothes each 2 sizes larger than next so they'll think u r losing weight like everyone else.
Advice is best thing to give.
Be the squirrel quietly hoarding nuts. The trolls over at the now defunct Kiwifarms lived by a key rule, and that was; to "NEVER reveal your power level."
We've got a little over 2 years of resources (food, water filtration, etc.. ) and seeds to carry us a bit further as well as the weapons and ammo to protect everything. We also have about 200 pounds of rice and beans trade with or parcel out to help others if absolutely needed. We follow the grey man approach and our friends, family and neighbors have no idea we are preppers.
Thank you for calmly dealing with a very serious and stressful, emotionally tangled, set of scenarios we will need to be firmly prepared to deal with.
Thanks for being here Shannan!
Thank you for addressing this! My brother in law made the comment “I know where we will go”. I looked at my husband and we both politely let him know that he’s more than welcome to come with his own preps but don’t expect for us to take care of them. We have kids and he doesn’t and we are preparing now to take care of the 4 of us. He needs to start preparing on his own.
I will NOT have anyone staying with me inside the walls of my home. A camper in the backyard maybe. Everyone has their OWN space.
Thank you and God bless all of your families! I grew up with depression era family members and prepping was part of our lifestyle. Each one of our family group brings something to the table. It's a given. You don't work. You don't eat. You can't follow house rules, you're gone. We are all concealed carriers and even the great grandkids know how to handle a strap and blade and start a campfire from almost nothing. Family campouts are part of the training.
Yes, family is a big problem. I have told them for years to prep. They just laugh and don't think anything is going to happed. My brother told me, why do you need more than 50 rounds ? if you can't stop it in 50 you shouldn't have a gun. He is only thinking of a single incident. Has no clue what is coming. No food preps or water or anything else. I gave up trying. But I would say 99.999% of the population believe the same. So neighbors will also be a problem.

Tell him it's an insurance policy.
Normalcy bias is very difficult to overcome. I believe it’s the main reason why people don’t prepare for a disaster.
I agree. In my opinion, why else would you not prepare. In any fashion. Why not have 1 week of food, energy, medical, security. Why?????
I do not understand. I have tried to get answers. Not arguing, just asking questions based in logic.
The other reason is magical thinking, if they don't let the thought of something bad happening to them or their family cross their mind then it will never happen and they will never have to deal with uncomfortable situations.
@bcase5328 it must be magical to think that way. That disaster only hits the neighbors, or that city... UNREAL.
Personal SHTF is my normalcy bias. I always have a stockpile and alternatives.
I help 4 legged animals always. 2 legged animals are on their own. They had more money and time to prepare.
my view is that we have been attempting to wake up MANY folks, to be prepared, for years now. My best friend of 3 decades always remarked that she would come to my home UNTIL one day, I said it wasn't going to happen....she preps now. The worst thing I've seen is folks buy electronics, arms-overkyl and everything else except filling a pantry...so sad.
I am 70 and disabled. I am prepping for my grandchildren. I have a few things I will keep for myself but I will only share with my offspring.
Good for you. Never hurts to be prepared.
I have "prepped" what I could for years. At 53, now everything I do is for my grandkids too.
I'm not even going to bother.
😒
I don't know anyone that is a prepped like me. My friend keeps saying what are we going to do when there's no food in the store. I have told her over and over to start putting some food in her basement and stock up. She doesn't do anything so I I stopped telling her.
Our house 🏡 full my families laughing 😜 at me
Now everyone is panicking 😂😂😂😂and yelling prices rises
Thanks for all the great straight talk. You guys don’t beat around the bush but neither do you do doom and gloom. You just pass along common sense and facts. I appreciate that.
I have to admit it, I am envious of your group. Having a hard time finding and putting one together. May have to go out into my subdivision searching for like minded people. Will pray. Thank you for your guidance during these times..... and the way you present your subjects. Blessings over you & yours.
Sootch, I came across your channel back around 2010. Thanks for continuing to put out quality, informative content
We've made up signs to deploy along the road to our house that says Trespassers Will be Shot. Beware of Dogs......and yes do have two large German shepherds that definitely mean business.
2020 opened my eyes I'm still not as prepared as I want to be but I'm working on it. I'm 56 installed flooring for over 30 years now I'm disabled I ruptured 2 discs in my back and broke my leg & hip so I'm limited physical y but I've hunted a fished my whole life I grow a garden I'm slowly getting back into shape. I pray every day shtf doesn't happen but I'm not blind I can see it coming. It's me my significant other and her son and I'm the only one prepping they think I'm just paranoid but like I told them being cautious & paranoid are two different things. Thank you for this video!!! Stay safe brother's
Do you have raised garden beds, to avoid getting down too much?
I'm not answering the door. My front door will be barricaded so i will only have one way in or out. I gave my non prepper family members each a prep bag, food and water, water purification and fire making.they have light sources and several sharp rools. I told them that i dont care what they do with every thing i gave them but dont expect me to do heroic measures for them since they made my life hell while i was working hard to be in a good position.
I think that’s more than fair.
Kudos to you for being on top of this 👏🏼👏🏼
I wouldn’t want to invite people I didn’t know into my house. It’s going to be a bad situation. When it happens.
Live in S FL where folks are or seem to be impervious to down situations. Heck, I've seen people take their produce back to the store for credit because they stored up before a hurricane and were spared.
Happened all the time when I worked at 2 Lowe's down in Florida with hurricane prep related stock.
@wmluna381 The wife works at Walmart, and folks bring back water, milk, meat, the staples they buy ( beans, rice, noodles, and so on ). Some of the products they bring back can not be salvaged. What mentality.
@@robertcritchley1338 that's just WRONGGGG !!! 😠
Same as today. Some people will always have a hand out and expect freebees, ie what you saved and worked for...
If you look, most Americans are getting what you call "handouts". We just tend to notice when it's minorities and immigrants receiving aid.
And as long as you're looking, check out how long it takes an average immigrant to pay back to the Treasury for any aid they have received, and to start paying INTO the Treasury through their taxes. (About three years.) Immigrants will add trillions to our GDP over the next forty years.
Or we could let racists cost us those trillions, and be stuck with more racists.
One of my biggest fears, the decision of who to take in & who and how to turn others away.
I have no problem turning family away. I have warned them over and over and they have not done a damn thing for me and my immediate family in any form. They are on their own
April 2020 sure open my eyes to how doubting family members ridicules a prepared family member, then crawls back to attempt to gain and not pay for those items one stocks up. “Are you going to replace what you use?” “No, I am your brother, you do not expect me to replace the items you stored and I used.”
I've prep / do prep for a 1 year SHTF SCENARIO (general) in the and food and supplies department . My extended family thinks it's a joke beyond 2 of my cousins. I also have live animals,grow vegetables,and a well(water) which can/ should extend that 1 year and supplies in best case scenario. I also purchase / make a extra 1/3 of dry goods/ preserved foods and general supplies for " family" & " friends" who will have to learn the hard way. If I have to bug out it's a whole different story,but that's the absolute worse case and a last ditch scenario in my head. It isnt that hard to put a few more 5 gallon buckets of dried beans and rice up for hungry mouths. They last decades and are relatively cheap.
A lot of us, when asked theoretically about a certain situation that involves survival, say "I would do this" or "I would do that". But we can't be 100% sure of what we are actually going to do until SHTF and you are faced with the edge of the sword.
I plan to teach my neighbors what wild foods to eat. If they see me in my yard eating minors lettuce and chick weed, they aren't going to think I have lots of supplies. That plan will only work in the summer months. I fear for my garden at that point.
As for my step children I sent all but one a food storage bucket.
Another idea is if you deal with your frozen food immediately you can dry it.there is a way to make pemican with dry meat,,dry berries and peanut butter. It lasts a long time and people won't smell it cooking 2 weeks into the emergency.
I live in Seattle , it’s funny when people look at me crazy for prepping. I just ask them what they’d do if there was an earthquake
We're out here too, on the Olympic Peninsula, it is amazing to see how oblivious people are
Riot and take your food
@tomhenry897 you too will be dead in the first two weeks with that mindset
I always had my pantry full. My husband and I were missionaries in Honduras, we’ve been back seven years. The year there was an attempted coo.. we had 24 hrs if no electricity, no internet, no leaving the house. We lived in the capital city. A couple days later they allowed us to leave to go to the grocery store between 8-10 am, now in a city of a million and a half people… our mission president and his wife and one of my teachers and her family couldn’t get to the grocery store so they came over and shopped at my house. I blessed to be able to help them. But yes you have to be able to say sorry and it is best to not spread the news of being a prepper.
@@LaurieJohnson-ok8ls I have been to Honduras. I felt bad for them and it made me appreciate what I have here. I don't have much but am grateful for what I do have.
Number one rule, all who are able work or they don't eat.
We live in a rural neighborhood. There is a house 3 homes up that is a drug house. All 3 kids grew up & lived in that house..they are now adults in their 30’s…the mom moved off somewhere else. The son came over once to get eggs…they dont work…they are the FIRST people I worry about mooching
I've been getting in shape for what's coming and yeah, I'm saving my old stuff and have suspenders so I look like I'm not well-fed.
I saw what happened when people were literally slugging each other on black friday at Walmart for the same discounted item in short supply and I ran to the check out lane. Or the time i was home watching the news and crews from the news room were reviewing how adults fought one another on Christmas Eve so their child received a Cabbage Patch Doll under the tree? Recently, with covid, the shelves were left empty at every grocery store that carry toilet paper and i barely had enough during lock down sheltered in place. Normally where i now live it is recommended to buy in bulk so you don’t run out every week to replenish because things can get real un natural during the year. And renting a storage locker is a bad idea! You are so right to becareful of a woman nursing to spread the word who gave her some provisions. Two guys decended on me for hand outs. And had to turn them away. I amnot the department of welfare.
The books by William R Forstchen One second after One year later and the final day great books and a new one this August 5years later..
My philosophy is if they have skills of value and food themselves they can share, but need protection, I don't mind having help. If they have neither, they shouldn't be surprised that the next time they come back in a less than welcoming manner, they will be dealt with. I'm trying to survive with my family and want fewer people in my group I don't fully trust. Most importantly to be left alone.
A man’s character is directly proportional to his access to resources. Hope for the best, but expect and prepare for the worst.
No blood family lives around us. I’ve sent them vids on doing some prepping, only to rebuff. Told friends about prepping some stuff, it’s been met with laziness. Don’t think I’ll be answering my door if anyone knocks.
I keep my circle small at all times. 🤙🏾
Makes me think of the twighlight Zone episode with the neighbors and the bomb shelter.
Extremely relevant episode.
Having a gardener in the group is important. A good gardener knows a lot. Often times, they also have picked up adjacent hobbies: food preservation, cooking, plant identification, knowledge of insects, minor plumbing knowledge/minor pumps and motors, tool sharping, etc.
im turning everyone away. im done telling people to prep for a disaster and being laughed at.
sorry no room at the inn
In the Army.... ate C rations that were 40 years old. Not moms cooking, but it was edible. So properly canned food will last a very long time.
Tell your family high food prices have made it necessary for you to use up your preps so they should prepare what they can.
@@christinagardener1889 I do tell my family but it falls on deaf ears. I have stopped telling them.
@@sarahgrooms5606 you've told them so now your conscious is clear. Hide your stuff and if the time comes share small bags of rice or can of soup at a time with them so it looks like that's all you have. This will help you ration what you have and eliminate waste to make things go farther. Start learning how to fish or hunt and learn about wild edibles in your area and teach your family about the wild edibles.
Prepping in an apartment is tough because everyone will know what you are doing
My family still wont listen, they have small children , its so hard because i can't help them ... 🇮🇪 Ireland
Praying for you bud from Alabama. Im not sure of you circumstances, but here dried rice ,dried beans,and the buckets to store them can be acquired for about $ 200 american . Enough to last 4 people food for 3 months to 6 months depending on rationing . Rice& beans have plenty of Calories,protein,and carbs to carry on.
They made their bed. Now they have to sleep in it.
Put supplies, medicine, shoes they'll grow into, and food aside for the children. Better safe than sorry.
A.C I'm not in the position to financially ...their not listening.
A. C. I'm not in a position to financially... their not listening their off on theor summer vaca soon , so it's choice.
Beans and rice both have to be cooked for a long time - something to keep in mind re: fuel/cooking methods that would be available.
A less than 1000w pressure cooker can run on many solar generators and have it done in about an hour... made chili yesterday this way
@@spencer5028 Oh true, I hadn't considered pressure cookers. They're faster.
1. Keep in mind church and city sources you can refer people to...keep them moving away from your door. 2. You are right, educate people BEFORE an event. Try to get those people to start with a few EXTRA cans on payday. Moving on from there. During an event, I suggest it will frustrate the meet as the walker will already be overwhelmed by the crisis when they show up at your door. Be prepared with two levels of reaction -- you and a backup. 3. Family/close friends. We all have to prepare our heart now. Pre warn them but when they show up, have a small package ready to pass out. Something like an inexpensive noodle package and a can of tuna wrapped in a paper bag. Tell them this is it AND DO NOT RETURN. 4.During a crisis, you can tell how hard it is in the community. You should be eating just what you need to survive to extend your food stores. You should lose weight but not in line with those who eat much less. 5. Small portions cooked indoors and ate quickly to reduce cooking smells. Buy the way, fuel to cook will be valuable. Tiny or small stoves using wood scraps and twigs have value. I taught this topic for years and told the students, when this happens, wood fences will disappear quickly. 6. Learn what WEEDS you can gather to stretch your diet. Most people will revert to victims or hunters and gatherers -- from all sources. Those who live near by will see you and may follow the example and take some pressure off you. Last, plan and be prepared to guard you location 24 hours a day. Just know that snakes, predators and varmints are watching. Switch off. Good topic.
Add the mentally ill/drug addicts who have *no qualms* in murdering,raping,etc
Come SHTF, those places will run out of resources in ONE DAY
Getting food that is not laced with mRNA or created in a lab is one of my concerns.
Thanks guys! Peace and Blessings
You don’t know how good it feels to be able to go through something like the pandemic or a tornado, earthquake, or hurricane and have supplies on hand. You’ll be able to eat, and feed your family., even close friends. You’ll be set for a while. Even if you don’t plan for SHTF, it’s good to have a store set back in case something does happen. I saw COVID coming down the pike early, and prepared to lock in beforehand. You have to look ahead on this stuff, follow the news, be informed. Keep ahead, and you won’t be lacking.
Brother w/wife & 2 kids said he'd come to my place. Told him bring lots of food. And on the real... might offer to take in one child, but not the whole family.
Just try to think ahead and you’ll be far in front of most people
The people that scare me the most are those that actually seem to look forward to a SHTF scenario, wherein they can strut their stuff, put on their gear and go out and shoot people. It's a fringe element, but they're out there.
I hope to never use my gear , my real hope is for the rapture and to be called home to be with Jesus , I've hoped that I'm prepping can be used by future Christian. Will see .
My father in law stole tpaper from me during Covid. Very telling.
😂😂❤there funny 😹 people uk 🇬🇧 who’ring it 😂😂resale
Thank you all for the video on this difficult subject.
Love your channel bro!!!...
Thanks Capwell!
Where do you find a group of like minded people? I don’t know anyone that is actively prepping, even family. They think I’m demented!
Hi Deborah. Having the very same problem. I live in Alberta. Would you happen to be here also.
Y'all mentioned your friend Don and his dad giving him hell for prepping, I've experienced the same thing! My Dad and sisters both gave me grief for having a few "freedom seed dispensers", but when the plandemic hit and the riots started, who did they call BEGGING and pleading for SOMETHING to protect their homes with?!?!?
"Freedom seed dispensers" lol
I got no problem turning people away. None whatsoever. If they can provide for themselves and be an asset to me, then we can work together.
I love you guys. Don’t stop these
Just remember what the govt did to New Orleans during Katrina. They turned their back
I don’t have a table. I don’t even have a bed. Finally, I don’t have 3 meals a day. I only get $75 a month for food. There are days at a time in which I don’t get a single meal a day. So when I go 2 days in a row that I get a meal a day, I am ecstatic! I didn’t eat yesterday but a friend brought me some milk and another friend brought me some milk, chicken noodle soup and my prescriptions, both in the same day. I am truly blessed and grateful. I try to prep in as many ways that I can find resources for. I need a rich family to adopt me before SHTF so I can show that I can be an asset in many ways, anyway. I can’t prep for others. I can barely prep for myself.
So what’s the problem? Can you work? Can you get a job?? Come on now
@@wannabe4668 No I can’t work. I am disabled. I’m on a fixed income. I check with all sorts of freebie resources to get extra food and a really good friend gets me milk and food on a regular basis but I only see her once every two or three weeks or so. I make it. I wasn’t complaining at all. Just trying to make a point that you don’t have to eat every single day in order to survive and that I’m grateful for what I do have. Too many people complain if they have to skip a meal here or there. Most people don’t know hard times. They only know that they had it hard that one time because they didn’t have pizza money.
Call local churches too...some have food pantries that might supplement your food provisions.
@angieconley: what an inspiration you are. Points well made. Thank You!
@@kimmin7422 Yes. Some of the local churches help including my own. My own church gave me store cards to buy groceries. Trust me, I go to all the local churches that have pantries. My apartment complex even has a free table where I can pick up groceries that other residents donate for other tenants. Thank you for the suggestions.
If you open a bag of flour and it has weevils in it can you sift the bugs out and still eat it
Yep. That’s why people sifted in the first place. Bug control.
Beans, rice, chorizo and chicken!! MMM-MMM!! Hen stops laying eggs, welcome to the dinner table!!
You’re going to have to keep your chickens a secret, which isn’t easy.
People who have seen chickens at your place will become the raccoons who will come eat them
My family isn't welcome... To many painful memories of abuse. She wanted to go on trips to get expensive purses ( during Covid) she better have food set aside. I spent the past few years working on various skills...
U know people even when to get plastic surgery 😂😂
I didn’t notice or relied but my family did 😂😂
U always said u r poor no food 🍱 money 💰 electricity ⚡️ utilities money 😂
Some spending 20,000+ out uk 🇬🇧 and USA 🇺🇸 Covid 😂😂then governments was issued money 💰 and fly foods in (these people came back 😂flash their citizenship card) 😂😂
Crawl spaces are great. When I was a kid my dad cut a 3' sq hole in his closet floor, covered by the plywood he cut and carpet. He would store valuables there when we vacationed. (Probably more than I know, now that I "understand" the world better)
Can you imagine how people who take antidepressants get short of meds will act under this stress???? 🙄
If people aren't trying to prepare at all (not even a little bit), it's kind of like the story of the Little Red Hen. The lazy barn yard animals were given the opportunity to help (even in small ways) mother hen bake her bread. None of them did anything. However, when it was time to eat the bread, all the lazy barn yard animals wanted some. Mother Hen said no...she had her own hungry baby chicks to feed.
Maybe have a set of baggy clothes (too big for you to begin with) that you can start to wear if things go south. Then at least you look like you have lost weight.
Picking someone who is the best leader is a good idea. You don't need two hands on the wheel. That person listens to everyone's input, but makes the final decisions
The right final leader with a council is important.
Thank you the show was very informative.
I used to have that exact doormat in the thumbnail! Been looking for it again for years. Just gonna have to stencil one myself.
Decomp gives off a very unppleasant odor. Perhaps that odor will deter some refugees from coming near your place..same with the smell of burning flesh (as in animal hides, etc). You are right, you need a plan, and your group must agree to the conditions.
People that prepare for
People that prepare for the long term "issue" will become targets. They have to prepare for that also.
I carry a small plastic convenience bag to work. It has Tylenol, Tums, bandages, a Dollar Tree rain poncho, and eyeglass cleaning wipes. I had to remove it from my backpack after I had a company issued jacket stolen from my pack. I now carry it on my person.
In short, most people are NEVER PREPARED.
Another more generous kit I used to have in my backpack now stays locked in my car.
It reaches the point where you have to refuse helping, because they never learn to think ahead.
And I wont even go into detail about pens, a notepad, chewing gum or instant drink mixes (I work 12-hour nightshifts at a federal facility outside town, so a trip to a store or a restaurantis not permitted.)
I have a sister and her husband that refuse to prep. I knew that some day them may need supplies. Each month for six months I bought long term storage foods and gave it to them. The supplies are stored in their basement now. I gave them a possibility to survive for a while. The rest is on them now.
I would extremely suspect of any woman with a baby that showed up asking for assistance. That is the most used ruse to attack unsuspecting people.
Family that stated they would just show up, I told them that they could only stay and work if they brought a years worth of food with them. I let them know that what they brought is the only thing they would eat and that the garden we would be planting is what every one would eat.
Sorry of them Notttt to Prep !!!
Good for you, for Telling them that !!! 👏👍
.... You have to Protect "YOURRRR HOUSEHOLD/FAMILY - above everyyyyone else !! (Theyyy would !!!)
I've had people tell me that they're coming to my place. However, they've all been from out of state ... many states from me! They just don't understand what will be going on!!
You said you will tell the supplicant, "We only have (x) amount of food left." Bad answer. Those people hear how much you have left, it will--no matter how much or how little--seem like you have some or all to spare. In that case you should hope you will be able to defend against those with ill intent.
I’ve spent every weekend for the last year getting ready. Between pressure canning, freeze drying, Mylar bags and 5 gallon buckets I have invested my time and money. I’m not providing an easy life for no one. I’m exhausted and keep going. I haven’t done this for every Tom, Dick, and Harry .
Preping is not a waste of money wether SHTF happens or not having a little extra is always useful point is extra food or whatever will always useful
I tried telling my mom this; i spend $1000 a month on health insurance, why would I not have 6-12 months of food for my kids etc just in case? My grandfather grew up in the depression and always kept food but she doesn't seem to get it
Where can I get that door mat? Lol!
Question: how does one meet other Preppers before shtf? ( asked by a friend).
I have a .177 piston break for hunting small game. It does penatrate 1/2 in plywood.
That small game won't last long. Canned food is a much better investment...
@richardelliott9511 where I live, plenty of chicken of the trees, (Iguanas). Some cans, but I have a vacuum freeze dryer 3 years now.
It's harsh, but so is reality. If they're not in my inner circle, then I have no interest in putting myself at risk by trying to support the unprepared. If they slept through the pandemic and shortages and Katrina and a thousand other examples, they're not an asset to the gene pool. For those in my circle, then yes, I'll adjust to the circumstances. IF, the community pulls their head out of their..sandbox, then I'll support the community effort in various ways. As for the desperation aspect, I'd treat those as any other intruder. I'm doing my part by not being one of that desperate herd. Without rule of law, that herd will be thinned. Again, they could have prevented that with some common sense. During the civil unrest, I told my mother's doctor, if she needed something to call me, and I would get it to her (her husband was an EMT, also worth saving). During the craziness of the TP and other shortages, I supported the local post office gals, because they were good people, and good people deserve to not worry about things while they help to keep things stable.
Hi I am so glad I found your channel I have also subscribed to Mr. Robbie’s channel.
I have questions but I’ll limit to 2 for now.
How do I go about finding a group near me when I really don’t know anyone especially anyone interested in survival or prepping?
What if I can’t afford to equip my vehicle or items against an EMP?
I've been called a HOARDER, even by family members. That didn't stop them from asking for something when they needed it. Now they see after being shut in during the virus WHY I do what I do.
Sootch and Robbie, I'm very fond of you boys. And as always, Sarah Mac holds everything together. Only 106° in Kerrville today.🌅🌵😅
Hi Nancy! Stay cool!! 👍👍
🥵🥵🥵
That’s when I make executive decisions….
Take out the main threat and work my way down the line.
Boy you are the tough one
I have a very great community to work with. Helps that I don't say anything to anyone. Anyone not in the group, or willing to work will be turned away.
If you start giving out food, more people will show up.
One of my coworkers said he would wait for me to come to the door and take me out.
As far as family....I know my niece will be banging on my door 1st thing.
Make sure you get him first.
That’s awful! That’s a threat!
Ppl are sick!
