All good advise but one thing these people Never tell you..and as a Vet,I'm surprised they never say it. It relates to Security!...when you gather preps and make your plans for SHTF....SHUT the FUCK up. Just keep your mouth shut about it. Do NOT TALK..to friend's,extended family,neighbors,co-workers,your children( kid,s love to TALK)..your drinking buddies...Do not brag,do not boast..just keep it to yourself...Loose lip's are a security nightmare. Granted it can be and is for a lot of people..a family thing..good for you. This is just a general rule to keep in mind and adjust to your own situation. Another tool in your kit..so to speak.
I couldn't agree with you more, that's how people get fucked over all the time is because they talk too much.
Doc. M. Agreed! I'm big on keeping things under wraps with my preps (active duty Navy with 15+ years in with a clearance, so OPSEC is HUGE for me). The easy part is stocking up and keeping quiet... the hard part is when one of my friends or family members unwittingly stumbles on my hidden stash and runs their f****** pie hole to their circle of friends and family about it (and they're almost ALWAYS the ones who have profligate spending habits and don't put away anything for emergencies). That's the frustrating part. I always use the cover story of "hurricane season being around the corner" and "taking extra precautions in case power and/or services go down" (I live in Louisiana so most people here have a similar mindset)
rodrigtf I'say ..it's donations for the church or a shelter..wanna donate? people then sometimes hand over a $50 bill or return later with a bag or two of food donations. Sort of killing the subject and get free donations to my stash. ( I know,that's mean...Oh well..tough world)
That's an outstanding idea! May as well try that for a change.
Doc. M. haha! thats a good one
One thing i saw that was a problem during Sandy was when the power did come back on a lot of houses cought on fire. People were evacuated and come home to thier houses burned to the ground. I don't know if its common knowledge but i had no idea that this could happen. These people should have shut off the main power. Not really a prepping tip but its good to know.
Great info.. was not aware of that.
This was great, I have been researching "emergency survival supplies" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Landonfen Disaster Genie - (just google it ) ? Ive heard some great things about it and my cousin got great success with it.
@@notredox2 is it a service? I think I have a good handle on bugging in and when to bug out. After surviving this apocalypse in covid ground zero I think I'm a pro. Lol
This guy makes the most informative and watchable prepping videos. Some prepping videos are 100,000 words long when 1,000 words would have sufficed. Black Scout communicates a lot of information without any drama or ego. I have a shopping list after watching this video. Thanks Black Scout!
Thank you for the kind words. Good luck with the shopping list! Take care!
BlackScoutSurvival What exactly are you preparing for?
Winston Smith yep, that's why we all love him
You didn't notice he spent the first 2 minutes of this video basically saying the same thing over and over again?
Sensible prepper is good too
Lol he paid a BUCK for the water and it has a deer on it. He made a pun without knowing it!
Hey everyone, the greatest ideas that I have ever had was with the Micaden Survive System (i found it on google) without a doubt the most helpful survival i've followed.
There are a lot of components to survival.
One place I discovered which succeeds in merging these is the Micaden Survive System
(check it out on google) definately the most helpful survival resource that I've heard of.
Check out the awesome free video.
interesting points ,if anyone else needs to find out about
survival prepping for beginners
try Lonnonnar Survival Quickie (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now ) ? Ive heard some incredible things about it and my brother in law got excellent results with it.
Thank you. I started by buying a few extra cans of food every week along with other supplies.
I think that prepping is good because when your supplies are starting to get old you can always donate them to people in disaster situations and you can always be prepared just in case... love prepping.
The ONE thing a prepper needs is his brains.
knowledge and experience are also quite useful.
@Lithus17 Are you saying newborns don't have brains?
The best tool of them all
@Lithus17 Whooooosh!
If you can't own a gun, there is NOTHING wrong with a slingshot or archery equipment, just practice like heck to be as proficient as possible
+Daniel Rodriguez what if you have over 2k rounds of ammunition for each gun?
I own both. I love shooting my compound and in a SHTF\WROL situation it would be great for quietly getting food. If I had to defend myself or my home in the same type of situation a bow is hardly the appropriate tool
If you only have 2k rounds for each weapon, you're UNDER armed....Back in the 80's when the whole "Survivalist" thing started happening, guys were saying, "10,000 rounds per weapon"...now a days, I here numbers more like 15,000 or 20.000 rounds...around here, people practice what they preach....
Weapon alternatives are excellent and have their use; i.e. pellet guns (for hunting small game), slingshot, bow-and-arrows, etc.
Yes.. One area where - truly - 'Diversity is our Strength'.. :)
Hey man, this is just a tip from me to you. If you want to save a ton of money. You can freeze your MRE's and they stay good for WAY longer. Another guy on youtube tested it and he ate a whole MRE meal that was frozen for something like 17 years and he said it tasted exactly like a freshly made 1. Ohye and I see people saying that a fire extinguisher isn't needed. When I went to visit my parents they didn't have 1. I bought them one, two days later my dad was making fries on the stove, oil caught fire and he nearly burned their house down, used my fire extinguisher and got the fire out. Some of you won't be that lucky.
People who cant own a shotgun depending on where they are can own crossbows
Neil Nutt in my country crossbows are banned :p
Slingshots are no joke
Recurve bows tho
OK, daryl
Im 11 and im trying to be the best i could at everything early since i could die any minute in any way.
Im learning how to survive stuff
thank you for not starting off your list with guns, and knowing not everyone is in a country with guns, your video was actually realistic (unlike some others I've seen on youtube...) and I also like how you made the point of preparing for all emergencies, not just the big ones. keep up the good work, from the uk
+panda 3000 Pretty sure most other countries allow shot guns.
@@aksrule3393 a lot of countries allow brake action shotguns without licence, but for those strict countries like the one I live in (Ireland) you need to have a full police check and the licence has to be renewed for 300 euros every year. Many guns are restricted and need more rigorous police checks and have a higher licence price, such as handguns and rifles.
If you get a trauma kit, you need to have the knowledge to use the equipment. All the medical equipment in the world cant help you if you don't know how to use the equipment. Don't go around like an emt if you don't know what you're doing. You can make the situation way worse.
+viktor satkin derp derp. Thanks for repeating what I said in the video.
BlackScoutSurvival I think viktor was just trying to be helpful. Where did you say that? When you messed up the abc's of first aid? Derp derp
viktor satkin Join your local volunteer fire company, they will send you for the training for free in turn for you participating in emergency services and fire company drills
viktor satkin
Agreed! I have a basic first aid kit with a few extra things, and, that's about all I know how to use...I have a friend who's a former combat medic, and has a full kit...I don't even know what some of the stuff in his kit is, so, even if I had a full kit, I wouldn't use it, because I don't know what to do with it...
I am an older 50's female. The 12 gauge shotgun was a little much for me, but a 20 gauge shotgun was manageble and makes almost as big a hole. HE HE EH
Thats understandable and you have to do what works for you. I shouldve mentioned that in the video. Thanks
It is way personal. I like a handgun, but can handle a shotgun just fine and I'm 60. We keep just a few, no need trying to stockpile weapons, I've never been any good at shooting more than one at a time anyway. Good video, BSS.
yep suzette. I have my shotgun, my handgun and my sks which also doubles as my deer rifle and my 22 critter gitter. those 4 are sufficient for me. LOL
I use to use a sks to hunt deer in alabama in the 90s,no joke
Are there younger 50's females?
Every home needs a Luggable Loo. haha. Thanks for taking a few minutes to watch!
Just a suggestion on bleach. I believe the half life on bleach is something like 6 months. So storing bleach for a long time may not be an effective way to purify water in such an event. What is very effective is using Calcium Hypochlorite crystals (AKA "Pool Shock"). The pool shock can be purchased for about $10 for a 16 ounce package and will last much longer on the shelf.
Great video. Thanks for your contribution to all of us!
+Terry Pearson Thanks for the heads up on pool shock, Will be picking up some on my next trip to wally world
+Terry Pearson soooo.... what would the mixing ratio be for a pool puck to make water drinkable ? 1 to 25000L or .... because for me that might pose a problem...
you put this in drinking water?? why would you do that. bleach or pool shock?
+Jeremy Miller Go with pool shock. Get the standard 68% Calcium Hypochlorite. It is shelf stable and 1 lb of it can make about 82 gallons of standard bleach. (5.5 grams to 1 gallon of water). 1.5 ounces of bleach (3 tsp) will purify a galon of water, so a 1 lb container of calcium hypochlorite can purify over 10,000 gallons of water. Steer clear of Dichlor and Trichlor chemical compounds. They corrode many metals and even some plastic containers and create deadly fumes. When adding bleach to water, stir occasionally and keep the cap off and in a few hours it will evaporate leaving good drinkable water.
+Kristian B Lerche grind it up. use a digital scale or small measuring spoons to portion it out. problem solved.
#1 without a doubt' get your dental work up to date.#2 Silver/ Gold/ cash, #3 guns/ ammo, #4 first aid supplies, #5 food lot of it, #6 water lots of and a way to purify it. #7 a good hatchet/ large knife. # 8 fire starting equipment. # 9 a good bug out bag loaded and ready to go.#10 books on how to do stuff. #11 garden seeds a huge selection.
The idea is you better keep your dental work up at all times. When the SHTF your not going to be able to find a dentist. One might also consider getting a physical also, a good one! Blood work the whole nine yards!
I don't understand why your channel gets so many haters, if you don't like it, don't watch it! Get the fuck on..
I don't either boss.
+non existent not liking something doesn't make one a hater.
the world is full of people who don't like the things your like.
why should they not have the right to exist and express themselves?
+Davey Jones there is a difference between choosing not to like an idea and going to a video just to spread hate. If you chose not to participate in the whole "prepping" concept, that is your choice. But it is unnecessary to come to a video just to hate on ones view or idea, for example people calling preppers crazy or implying they are criminals.
non existent
ahh i thought you were just talking about the thumbsdowns.
those people though, i think are the ones going around looking for things to hate on.
which i believe to be an identity issue.
these people are trying to jack up their own ego through self-identifying as someone who opposes a thing, because they have nothing to stand for or with or any positives to base their self-image on.
whenever people like this don't have something to hate on, they no longer know who they are. which brings them one step closer to that mirror and the truth reflected in it they have been running and hiding from their entire lives.
basically: they are doing it because they are insecure.
+non existent You'll find trolls everywhere. If you do vids. that's just part of it. Just like a President even if it's Congress's fault or they did the sane thing. The President is the only one that takes the mass of the credit or the fault. Just part of the job.
in trunk of car is tent and tarp plus dry food and water always plus blankets
Candles and candle holders. Small, cheap, quick, effective, multiple uses. The power went down at my house just after dark 2 days ago. Within about a minute, I had a lit candle in every room in my house. Get the stick kind, not the little tea candles, or the ones in any kind of glass holder, and not the fat ones. The stick kind exposes the flame best, while the other kinds develop a puddle of melted wax that tends to reduce, block or choke off the flame height. A big box of stick candles about an inch in diameter and 7-8 inches long is extremely handy in an emergency.
eqlzr2 good to know!!! Thanks👍🏻
'Thank you ' just couldn't be enough to say . You care about people to take your time to inform and educate . We will all be left to provide and protect for ourselves . Knowledge and being prepared as much as we can , is what we CAN do .
GOD BLESS
great vid for a beginner. much easier to convince someone to do this , then throwing into full Prepper mode
you can have moringa seeds it will purify your waters.
start growing the plant/tree
I've never heard of it. I'll have to look into them
+Angelia Odiame YES...moringa is a tree of life. A few seeds added to funky water will clean it...
+BlackScoutSurvival
Moringa is consided a tree of life...a few moringa seeds added to funky water will clean it in several minutes....you can eat, make tea with moringa leaves. But it grows in warm (Florida) areas; inside in colder climates. It is suggested to not boil the water for the tea as it will deplete some of the nutrients. It has protein; 20 something amino acids; 8-9 are the essential amino acids, minerals & multiple vitamins. It is now grown all over in countries where people are starving.
Yes your exactly right. No need to have stuff that one doesnt know how to use. They could wind up injuring themselves or someone else worse. We plan to do some high speed medical stuff in the future. Thank for the support brother!
Dead on with the "Only can have one gun? 12 gauge shotgun" amen. Me personally I have a Mossberg 500 flex tactical.
My Thoughts/Comments/2Cents:
1. Medical - Yep, I agree 100% with him on this, a first aide kit is ok for NORMAL situations, but if you stuck in a storm, or we get invaded, or a plague...on in on with the various things, the point is, serious wounds and illnesses require serious medical care.....have GOOD Medical bag/kit on hand...its just smart.
2. Water - Ummm....yeah, I agree with keeping a small stockpile of water, the more the better. Having your own Well is your best bet, but something is better than nothing. Bleach....ok, if you know what your doing, this can be great....remember, a DROP or TWO for a GALLON is more than a enough, any more than that and you risk poisoning yourself. Also, you might want to learn how to make homemade Colloidal Silver Water(basicly water with silver particles in it). Its good for boosting your immune system, will help fight off colds and flues and many other nasty bugs. Will help keep your system running right, so...yeah....just smart.
3. Food - Well, this is as much a no brainer as the water...YOU NEED Water, but you also NEED FOOD.....cars don't run without Gasoline, your body doesn't run without Food. Obviously keeping a decent and rotated supply of canned foods is a good idea(and helpful for your pocket book if done right), but lets face it they still go bad.
MRE's are just to expensive these days, and most of them are already two or three years old when you do get them....no way man. Freeze Dried, great choice, lasts for 30 years or more, generally taste pretty good, does require warm water to re-hydrate them, but you should have that already if your smart. Only REAL downside to Freeze Dried.....its as expensive or more so than MRE's.....
There are a few things you might consider. Beans & Rice.....both of which IF kept dry in sealed containers will last almost forever.....but they must be kept DRY & in SEALED Containers......there is another, but it takes some explaining....
PARCHED CORN....yes, now your like WTF, but its a real thing. In fact it is something that the Native Americans and the Early Explorers used quite often. Basicly, you take Whole Kernel Corn and Dehydrate it....now, dehydration does not remove ALL the moisture....only about 80 to 90%......you then either bake them, or you can cook them in a cast iron skillet with LIGHT oiling until they are a golden brown color(if you using yellow corn).....let them cool, once cool you crush them....not into a powder, think of something along the lines of chip crumbs ...if you want there are several tutorials on TH-cam on how to make it. Point is the stuff has all the calories, and vitamins and such that you can literally support yourself on just the crushed parched corn and water for extended periods of time without any problems(well, you might loose some weight).....though you may want to find a Protein supplement as well........
4. Stove - Oh yeah, your going to need something to cook on and in cooler climates heat your home with....camping stoves are ok for the short term emergency situation, but you may want to think about having something a little more reliable around....if you have a good source of wood nearby a Rocket Stove is a great thing to have......they are cheap and easy to build, require little fuel and last for long periods of time.....and get nice and toasty when its cold out...
5. Lighters - Hummm, well yes, you need something to like a flame with so as to cook your food....or to heat your home. Bics are a good choice for a solid reliable lighter.....but you may still want to keep other sources around just in case....never hurts...
6. Firearm - While I agree that if you CAN get one, get it....but if you can't, don't give up, some kind of weapon is better than nothing. Look into other types, Bows/Crossbows, slingshots, Air Rifles, Spears, etc.......ANYTHING that can help you defend your home, yourself/family or enable you to hunt for food is ALWAYS a good thing....
7. Lighting - While I don't think that its absolutely CRUCIAL that you have a lantern or anything like that, it can be VERY helpful to have something. Multiple sources with multiple fuel types is better, but get what you can. I suggest at least ONE Lantern Type(Area Illumination) and One Torch/Flashlight Type(Directional Illumination) at the very least. Plenty to choose from, pick what seems best for you.
8. The Radio - Agree 100%, getting updated news on what the hell is going on IS absolutely Crucial to your ability to survive whatever is going on......Don't Skimp on this, a few extra bucks for the better quality means it might last longer.....
9. Multi-tool - I am honestly split on this one. I am not the biggest fan of multi-tools, they are just not as useful or reliable as alot of people seem to think. Most home owners generally have a small supply of general tools around the house, a pair of pliers, a wrench and hammer and some screwdrivers are just as if not more handy than a multi-tool.......
That said, if you happen to be one of those FEW home owners(or renters) who do NOT have ANY tools at home, you might want to think about getting yourself one or two of these, anything is better than nothing.
10. Sleeping Bags - Ummm....a little confused on this one, if a person is Sheltering In Home they should already have blankets and such...mind a few extras are always helpful, specially in the cold months. Now if your going to be Sheltering In Place at a local church or community center, you may want to have some sleeping bags read to go...other than that, this seems a little useless to me.
11. Fire Extinguisher - Well.....yeah, thats just smart. Actually most cities these days REQUIRE you to have at least ONE Fire Extinguisher in your home at all times anyhow......sooooo........yeah.....I might recommend getting several, a larger one for the kitchen area or or anywhere you have direct flame(fireplaces), and several smaller ones around the house, and by things like gas water heater/furnaces, etc...can never be to careful.....
12. Portable Toilet - Well, that is not one most people do reviews on....lol.....but I can see the upside of it. As long as your Water supply is running your should be fine with indoor plumbing, but should that change, having something like this might be a good investment......lol......
Ok, so there are my 2 Cents, Tolls and Keyboard Cowboys your up, go ahead, do the shit talking, you know you want to.....lol.......
Nice man! You should make you own video lol
DatHeadcrabTho (DatTho) Nah....I thought about it for awhile, but there are already so many out there, many of which are very good. Problem I see is, that many of the folks making them are just buying stuff and making vids about them to make them, or are just copying someone else. Every kit should be completely custom to your needs and your area.
***** No, the real problem is yor gamer tu gud. U nede shortre comentse!
lol
DatHeadcrabTho (DatTho) lol....I do believe that is the very first time that I have been told my grammar is TO good...., but you are correct, sometimes my comments can be a little on the long side......I have however found that longer, and clearer comments get fewer negative comments in return....if only because trolls are to lazy to actually read them....
***** Exactly! I can use grammar... when I want to... :D
I really like that you had a brick of lighters like that. I remember reading the experiences of a man and his family during a stay and defend situation in another country years ago. If I remember correctly the city fell into chaos during a military siege. Small lighters like that were a perfect tool to trade for goods & services (had to pay the local doctor somehow). Cheap now, but invaluable commodity later once all the jewelry has been traded away.
LagiNaLangAko23 I don’t think my wife will be ok with me trading her
"Bandaid and Neosporin ain't gonna take care of you!" 😂🤣😂
I was part of Ontario Mine Rescue, kind of like a Firefighter, Paramedic, Explosives Technician, Search and Rescue all rolled into 1, DRËAĞAR SCBA training, etc. Dead on with the A.B.C. of Trauma F.A.S.T.
So why would you get a large medical trauma kit with no training? If you are not properly trained in this area you can cause way more harm than good.
Well Maybe you should explain that next time bro before a new prepper just goes out and thinks he is a medic.
I do in the medical kit video. I said that I would go over in detail when talking about it in this video. But again it pretty much goes without saying. You should know how to use your equipment.
I agree 100% bro but some newbie just starting to prep may get delusions just saying:)
I gotcha boss. Hopefully not
+Brian Melton delusions? Anybody can get delusions about anything at anytime. LOL Yeah seriously dude CHILL ....NOT LIKELY LMAO
During a survival situation you can have the top rated weapon on the market but if you do not know how to properly used it it isn't worth nothing,
i think that goes without saying for most any equipment. Thanks
You are welcome and awesome video keep up the good work.
A 12 Gauge Shotgun is okay, if your a big strong guy. But even I find the recoil is a bit much. A 20 Gauge shotgun is much better for the average person. Can fire every thing from bird shot to slugs. My father hunts deer with a 20 Gauge and does just fine. The biggest thing is, no matter what firearm you buy. Practice with it as much as you can. From shooting to cleaning and learning how to clear jams.
Chiappa x6 over under 12g/.22. Its a single shot double barrel that comes with 8 chamber adapters for small arms calibers! Not too great for urban self protection but its a great survival weapon in rural areas for hunting and since its capable of firing everything from .22 to 12g it will kill just about every game animal in north america!
well as a twelve year old son I have been working on to get almost all of the items in this video and i feel prepared for the first time in a long time. thank you for your time.
Thank you for making the gun an extra bonus item. I have PTSD, I am under psychiatric care and have been hospitalized for suicide attempts. If I can legally carry I should be. Another prepper included a gun, didn't list a gun alernative like pepper spray or bear spray, and made it one of his 5 so now I'm down to to 4 item rather then 5. I politely asked him to list a gun alternative or just not count the gun so that us that cannot carry can still have 5 (or however many things). The conversation became ridiculous fast. It went to arguing about whether or not the mentally disabled should be able to legally carry guns to "you apparently have no idea how video editing works. I cant go add another item now". Apparently he forgot to read "future videos". Anyway, just wanted to thank you for not really counting the gun!
our standard supply under the basement of our house that is being replenished monthly.1 sack of rice (25kg)...canned foods (fish and meat)...drinking water.backup is simple cooking system with fuel..an oil lantern from feuerhand and oli lantern fuel.toilet paper for sanitation....and some sleeping system (swiss army sleeping cover and bag and blankets). buildings and houses here are equipped with nuclear proof room with 1 1/2 feet thick steel and cement door lock.
Nuclear proof???? Where is that?
neme sis must be nice! 🖖
I was never able to get the Eton to charge my cell phone. I have the bigger one. But I have Goal Zero portable solar panels and the little battery that goes with it. Can't recommend it highly enough.
I used to be an EMT- I'm guessing family will look top me...) Anyway, those portable radios need to look at carefully some Samsung phones will not accept the cord to charge the phone.SO check the phone charging systems being compatible to the hand-crank radios.
lookingup82 Will do, thanks for the heads up. Those radios do look handy!
I favorited this video when I first started prepping. I am going through my favorites and I stumbled back on it. I have all of these things in one form or another now. Great video. Thanks for posting it.
damn bet you're hella stocked 5 years later
Good 10 items! I'd also add some sort of bartering item... no telling how long your in the black. Cigarettes are a good one.
lobster in a can oo la la
Good advice on the Trauma Kit! I just used my Tax Refund on a BLS bag (Basic Life Support), that is the single most important gear to have during an emergency. I am a qualified EMT-Basic but not everyone needs that type of training in order to respond to an Airway Breathing or Circulation Emergency, you only need to be a first responder. TH-cam CAN TEACH YOU HOW TO PROPERLY HANDLE MEDICAL EMERGENCY'S!
A-airway
B-breathing not bleeding
C-circulation
Not sure, speaking as a former ER nurse, that many would even begin to know what to do with a simple first aide kit let alone a trauma kit. Like small arms training, med training is a must as well.
Dude I really enjoy your videos! I don't understand why u get so much hate? Keep up the good work, I will be purchasing some of these items. It Pays to be Prepared....
Why do preppers never mention having a good cb radio. It'll work in the home or in the car. Good way to listen in to see what is going on. Or to communicate with friends.
some of them do but you have to look for themI think sensibleprepper talks about radios sometimes
CB is good. Ham is better. Get a cheap dual band baofeng and get emergency frequencies, marine frequencies, frs and gmrs frequencies, weather etc
@Gatling Turtle Indeed. a good baofeng with an AA battery extension will set you back $25. Buy 2 or 3, so you can use them to stay in touch with base.
Also, a solar light is amazing! The light up the house and perfect!
Thanks for the video... one correction.... Mountain House is located in out town, we had them come speak to all our managers at work today as we step up our game and be more prepared as a company. Mountain House freeze dried food does not "require: cooking. It is precooked and freeze dried. Water is all that is needed, hot water is recomend ed as its nice to serve it hot, but a cold meal is better than no meat and it can be made with cold water just fine.
I love he has lobster with cognac!!
Great Video! Thanks for uploading
This was one of the first videos I watched this past summer as I started Bushcraft etc. Ahhh memories, I was so new, that is what I meant when I said I did not have much to contribute, just learning. Keep up the good work man.
As others have mentioned, the effective life of bleach is pretty short, I'd use a sawyer mini filter since they can filter 100,000 gallons for around $20 for on the go. At home I have a Berkey water filter which I'd trust to make most water sources drinkable.
+sandman x sawyer mini has been giving folks giardhia. Look at other you tubers. a few have gotten sick lately with the sawyer. i wouldn't trust it
+BlackScoutSurvival Good to know. I also carry a Steripen with me at all times which should take care of giardia, but I think I'll add some water purifier tabs into my bag as well. Thanks
+sandman x Pool-shock made with Calcium hyperchlorite is a good alternative to liquid bleach as it keeps forever if kept dry.HOSSUSMC does a few videos on Pool-shock for water purification and they are good.I bought two boxes of pool-shock about 2 years ago and still have not had to buy liquid bleach for laundry.BTW pool shock for laundry saves me a WHOLE lot of money in the long run,and it is just as effective as liquid bleach.
+sandman x portable water filters are excellent(I have a berkey,lifestraws and MANY sawyers) BUT they can become clogged and useless if not take care of properly.
Why does no one mention purifying water by boiling it?
Cuz you need heat to boil it, and when SHTF, that's precious.
3 points id make. first off, FIRE EXTINGUISHER!!! YES!!!! i do not consider this a "prepper" item at all!! i consider this COMMON SENSE!!! it truly amazes me how many people do not have an extinguisher in their homes.
next 2, the med kit and firearm. well before these are attained, i thnk the knowledge to use them should be first. someone with a full trauma kit that thinks it makes them a doctor can very easily take a situation from bad to worse in a heartbeat. same goes with a gun, if you plan on using one, you should take the time to be familiar at least, if not proficient with it.
Yeah I think that goes without saying
BlackScoutSurvival never say it goes without saying I'm an infantryman in the us army and the things even our soldiers forget to bring out to the field. things as small as toliet paper or a cleaning kit
ledgen95 Your right i should have mentioned army guys being an exception. common sense isn't one of their virtues.
when i joined i was hoping that was a myth but no it is true haha
just82much damn right!! Thanks boss. The grandmas trailor had me rolling. take care!
Newly interested in prepping. Been watching videos for a while trying to find the common links. Well so far yours is my favorite channel. Thnks for putting them up man
I like how you don't talk any b.s. it's nice to get some honest advice from a straight talking guy. Cheers for the advice.
Thanks Jason!
how about a 9mm for home defense? any feedback would be much appreciated! Thank you !
every gun will do as long as you know how to use it... so get some training :p
9mm are great, and so are 5.56 because these are the two most common type of ammunition people have.
The Handgun (9mm is great because it's the most common centerfire pistol round in use) would be a better choice if you think that there might be any possibility that you'll have to take it on the road (bug out). The long guns are better for static defense and the shotgun IS very versatile.
You only need about five lighters!
After they run out just take of the cap and use the flint wheel to light tender!
+BRAGGING RIGHTS Nope , lighters become currency in shtf , buy more and more bic lighters , don't waist fuel on Zippos , once they get wet they are done , a brick of 50 bic lighters costs about the same as 1 zippo and is worth 10x as much ,,,,, everyone that's actually gone through it has said Zippos suck ass and I wish I would have bought more bic lighters when they were only $1 each cuz they go for $25 each after shtf
Sure....paranoia.....
+Eric Lynch I think you meant to reply to someone else. I can't even see my comment what did I say?
+BRAGGING RIGHTS , , You said to only buy 5 bic lighters and use the flints as ferrocerium rods
+Eric Lynch oh I see.
Agreed, and agreed!!! Sometimes I'm a little unorganized, but as I watched this video, I kept saying to myself "hey, I've got that",( even the loo)!!! great video. Still got aways to go, but it 's coming together!!! Keep on keeping on!!!
Loving how you're just nonchalantly leaning on a GIANT GUN - you must be extra comfortable with it! Wish I got to have one.
Do you have a video on that trauma kit?
Love your videos mate. im slowly getting all my stuff together. currently only have one bag with first aid, fishin/sewing kits, spare clothes for daughter and I, batteries, torches, food, toiletries, blanket, dog and cat food. I hope to think if i will be able to take them with me. i have a little more stuff. im hoping to get a tarp and rope basically everything you have but probs on the cheaper side will also be getting a hunting kife asap. Buf i cant have guns.
My favorite TH-cam video ever. Love the videos Jack!
Easiest thing to get, and has the most uses= 18-20''-2000-5000 feet 80 gauge clear plastic wrap. Price range 20-45 dollars from webrestaurant suppliers. The amount of things you can do with this are inumerable. Water collecting, filtering-purifying, fire starter, insulating, yurt within a yurt survival housing, cordage/bow strings, trapping fish or game, wind/fallout barriers, body wrapping, dehydrating, furniture building, hammocks, on and on and on... And no one ever thinks about it, never fails to amaze me. Hands down the most versatile item at the lowest price.
SeeTheWholeTruth Oh yeah, and canoe building >.< Its crazy how much you can do with it, and save so much money and space on gear.
Life straw is awesome i have three in my bag a must for a bug out bag
Pretty much agree with most of what you said. My issue with preppers is they believe in shit and they believe in fans and they think Mad Max was a real person. Our approach is to buy 2. Canned food will outlast you, so buy one to eat and one to stock. The problem I have with beans and rice is they're both water and fuel intensive. A can of soup has a lot of fluid in it. And you eat it every day, so you're not stuck with some freeze dried crap. And, yes, I have a bin of freeze dried crap. Ammo. First, look at popular and effective rounds. For me that's 22LR and 9mm. I can kill you at 300 yards with the 22. Can't do that with a shotgun. You get closer, out comes the 9mm. I can still kill you at a longer range than a shotgun with the 9mm. Okay, maybe not, but it's pretty much a wash at that range. Bottom line is to prep for reality. And just buy 2. Go to the range, shoot a box, stash a box. I like your video. I would just add a couple of things. Toiletries and drugs. If you have a prescription, ask your doctor for an extra refill. And stock more everyday toiletries. Quality of life is huge when things get bad. Think about it.
Competent vid and solid advice. Thanks for showing us.
Shotgun best choice is Mossberg 500 types. Ambidextrous tang safety, slide release at back of trigger guard, open shell port with no spring loaded lifter to grab gloves, hold dirt or toss a reload. Military choice. Buy!
Holy shit I never thought of a shit bucket lol
D33Lux and if you buy the kitty litter in the sealable plastic buckets, I'm sure that you can find another use for the empty plastic buckets.
You don't need one. Just make sure you have lots and lots of garbage bags. They're watertight, multipurpose, and don't need cleaning materials that you probably won't have in a survival situation.
You dont need to buy that thing. Everybody has some buckets. When shtf pop the seat off the toilet and slap it on a bucket . . .
You forgot a quality Machete.... Excellent for protection, can be used as a daily knife.....Can chop firewood, shave kindling etc... Your list is excellent. but I'd rather have a machete than a lamp.
Ah right!!! Totally. He missed it. I have two of 'em.
;pbr love how u talk about shelter in place, which is gonna be your best option 99.9 percent of the time
1. Shelter. The elements are your worst enemy.
2. Water. You need lot's of water and ways to clean it properly.
3. Food. You need to have a stock pile of non perishable and ways to get fresh food. Salt makes everything better.
4. Medical supplies.
5. Help. Believe it or not, having some other hands can make or break your way.
6. Topographic map, square and compas, drafting pencil.
7. Tools.
8. Clothes with more socks than the rest. Cold wet feet you are going to get screwed. Water proof boots.
9. Training. You can have the greatest gear but if you don't have any training you might as well just throw it all in the river you ninny.
10. A deck of cards. I always have a deck of cards in my go bag. It helps keep people calm and learn to enjoy the simple things in life.
You forgot defense weapons, 5 ways to make fire, things to see in the dark with. Almost everyone is going to have a bit different list of 10 items. (10 is not enough) The key is to get started with some preps and be ready for what ever disaster comes at you. Yes of cores I have more than 10 items. One is none, two is one, and three is two.
hmm... you forgot the moonshine, but other than that, liked it.
I buy single size shots of whiskey and vodka... Trading material. ,!!,!
Montana? Try staking out a winter in Cape Breton or northern Ontario.
North bay checking in lol
hey!! im also from Cape Breton island originally moved to Yellowknife northwest territories im a sucker for the cold lol
That's awesome
Vancouver here
Good video! - i have prepardeness for approx 14days/three weeks, both for bugout and my home! greetings, Levi in Sweden
I love your personal presence and your advice is very well thought out. But PLEASE encourage folks to enroll in first aid-courses! Knowing first aid means knowing a lot about human anatomy, and could help in not freaking out in an emergency of any kind. First aid training should be top 3 for any prepper.
Great info bro!
Don't forget
*Lose lips sink ships*
At last! A reasonably sensible video of this type. I was beginning to think everybody involved in the whole "prepper" scene was a clueless nutter.
Realistically, you are planning for 3 - 21 days without utilities - with or without public order issues.
Longer than that and you're unlikely to be staying at home.
You might be planning for a weather event, solar storm, volcanism or whatever and I agree that having drinking water and food on hand that can be rotated is the way to go.
Heating is next for those of us in cold climates and it's an idea to have at least one room with a solid fuel stove and the fuel but by to run it.
First aid kit and fire extinguisher are both good ideas.
Thank you! We will be posting those soon. I think you will enjoy them. The home defense shotgun series will be a 5 part at the moment. We will be covering a lot of ground on it!
A Bible and prayer too. Trust in the LORD. Thanks, God Bless you.
if you have God you don't need a gun and If you don't have God the gun ain't gonna help
Dennis Gannon. ok. you say. god . how long . don't. you think. god. is so made at this world. look what happen. with the flood. we humans. keep. destroying. his world. god. can come. any time stll wateing for him. but. besides. beliving i hope this world. will make it i knows. he watching. ever person on the word.
Neo Bailey...I don't know about that...when a group of criminals is at your door, maybe you will need a little extra.
God cap-G
God AND the gun.
Ever butcher a deer or bear with a leatherman.???
+stewman65 deer yes.
Seems the blade would be weak between joints or knuckle bones... But, I never have...
stewman65; yes
Neh, I use the Leatherman to kill the bear, and nail clippers to butcher it.
Most people don't know it, but the most universal firearm choice of pioneers was a smooth bore musket or "fowler". These guns could shoot ball (slugs), or buckshot, or buck and ball, or birdshot interchangeably depending upon what the pioneers needed at the time.
A modern 12 guage holds the same position.
Like it. This video got my neighbor into prepping. One less scavenger to deal with and one more ally on my side.
deth502 has a point all. Fire extinguisher; you should have a couple ABCs in the house at all times anyway.
Great info.....but why is the flag on your hat on backwards?
Go google goruck
Got it! NICE!
It should only be that way on the right side of the shoulder as the flag would blow with the wind toward you. On the hat, it should be like you are looking at it as it is the star field is left to right.
So when you look at the mirror you see it the right way...
Val Secrease means your country is in stress!!!
Always pack several large boxes of rubbers... When SHTF women become a type of currency...
That's f'd up man
Im gonna run a huge sex slaved operation and be rich, yo.
Jaden Kendall Nah. I think it's fine. ;)
Where do you get woman-sized rubbers?
I think they call it spandex:-)
If the utilities are down for some time one of the important things will be the toilet. The one you have is fine, just no water.
Having the right supply of bags converts this to a dry toilet cheap)-- and toilet paper stored. A supply of larger 3mil bags to put smaller one use bags in - can be carted outside later. also candles will be very needed for a long time if you want light.
Four plumbers candles on a plate in your kitchen sink will heat food fast - use the oven grill over the sink to cook. Adapt the things you have. 200 candles (discount) is not unrealistic. And bags for the toilet help a lot. Add warm clothes and stored water and food and you are good. Don't underestimate pitch black -- no electricity gets dark fast, we are used to ambient light and it will be gone.
Good logical content !! Best Yank so far - by a mile !! well done

a Zippo's better than propane , in extreme cold bics wont lite, liter fluid doesnt weigh much and when the bottle is empty you can replace it with gasoline the empty bic has a flint that can be used in youre zippo

+Amit chaudhary interesting points ,if anyone else trying to find out survival try Zamartar Survival Remedy (just google it ) ? Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my co-worker got amazing success with it.
Nice! Someone who knows what they are talking about! Good job man!
I am in the beginning stages of gathering my items and was surprised at how much I already had accumilate. Thanks for the good tips and look forward to your next video.
Thanks, glad to hear it.
a few years back we had a bad ice/snow storm that knocked power out for 4-5 days. we live in the north, temps were around freezing during day lite and well below at night. we live on a cul-de-sac with 12 houses, we were the only ones still in our house after day 3.
Thank you very much for this info. This was very informative and makes all the sense. You just encouraged me to amp up. Thanks again
In a fire fight, even a .22 rifle is better than your empty hands.
The 12 gauge is a true must have. That clack clack of the pump action will easily get the attention of any who wish to do harm. An excellent small game hunter and big game hunter with slugs or Buckshot... There is no better weapon for home protection than it.
Liquid bleach has a very short shelf life (looses 10% per month). Granular chlorine (pool shock) lasts much much longer and is freeze thaw stable.
Use it then. Ill use liquid its easier to ensure correct dosage.
For staying home and illuminating your home having a small solar setup that can provide at a minimum a few lights and the ability to recharge your cellphones or other electronics
I've been watching your videos for a few years, and this video is the first one I watched on your channel... I'VE been a fan sense. Thanks for all you do, my friend!!
I buy 1 bag of tea light candles 100/ bag $6. each candle 6 burn for 4 hrs.
I also have a fondue cooker for 4 people to heat / cook food with 1 tea light.
I had thought about buying a few cases of Bic lighters.Use them until they run out and then go to your rods.
Rossi matched pair isn't as fast as a pump.but even less moving parts and you have many options. For say a 12/ga barrel and a 22/lr. Plus polymer. Stocks can hold.ammo ,ferro.rods,small. Edged tools. And fishing kit.if it applies.to your.area. wire.snares. many options. Imo.for a lack of rapid for. With practice. You can still put rounds down range even with a break action and it'll make you consider. Your shots more accurately. Great list. Thanks for the video.
Yes agree....great advise!...what do you do when then block your smart phone!
good tips bro this will definitely help out some folks get started for the zombie apocalypse aka martial law.
Luggable loo. If you expect to remain in your house, you have a couple other options. If water is plentiful (streams, rain, whatever) you can just pour a bucket of water in the toilet and it will flush fine. If not, go to costco and pick up a couple boxes of trash can liners and keep those on hand. Empty the water out of the toilet, then line toilet with the liner as though it is a garbage can. Have it hang over the sides outside of the toilet. When its getting full, or too ripe to put up with, just tie it shut and haul it away for disposal. Sanitary and most important easy, which will be a rare commodity in a situation like that.
