Great video. Can you recommend a budget or reasonable priced generator? I'm disabled and live in a one bedroom flat. I can get around a bit and am stocking. Cheers. Hwyl, Taffy Nige 🤘
Thanks Mike, all good advice and a great start. For water if you have a hot water cylinder in your house then water will come out of the hot tap for a time until the header tank is drained. Once that stops the cylinder still holds 120 litres+ which can be drained off and used. Sorry this is of no help if you have a combi boiler. Thanks again for the great channel all good advice. All the best Jon
50 litres of bottled water per week, for drinking and washing up. Any excess left over can be used for hygiene personal cleaning. It's always better to have more than you think you'll need. Personally, I would ration meals down to just one meal a day, because in unknown situations, you'd ideally need to have a consistent number of days of survival food.
For someone who wants to be a little bit more prepared, I would forget the planning as it will show you just how much you have to do and buy to be fully prepared and it can be very daunting seeing it all wrote down. I would say, get a few extra items each shopping trip and include some of each type in that shop, so don't go and buy a weeks worth of food, instead get a few food items, a bottle of water, some loo roll, some medication, some candles / battery's / matches. If it goes belly up tomorrow then you will have something. As for the water requirements, today, keep a note of the water that you consume (drinking and cooking) and base your requirements on that, the 1.5 lt (2.6 pints) is very low and I can't see any adult being able to last on that amount
@@UKUrbanPrepper If you know what you are doing then yes, I agree. But to someone who is new to this, to have a list of several pages long of items they need, with a cost of thousands of pounds - as this is what the "experts" have told them they need for their situations - can lead to a case of "I can never afford all of this, so why even bother ?" If they were to start slow and go with the governments 3 days worth of supplies (or even just one days worth), that will give them the comfort of knowing that if it goes belly up then they are ok for 3 days, that is a massive moral boost and places then out of immediate danger, they can then work on building up their supplies to a weeks worth. Once they are at that stage, then is the time to start making plans
Just get two camp cookers. 14.99 each Home Bargains. Carbon monoxide detector online less than a tenner, battery operated. Cook on your hob, indoors. Get a mess kit.

Have you tried doing the 2lt (3.5 pints) a day ? it is worth trying it for yourself and not on the recommendation of the "experts" I need at least double that just for drink and cooking (mostly drinking)
@@Lee_Proffit we have children in the house so it will work out ok plus juice sodas & long life milk . Long term end of the world stuff I've got the gear to purify 100s of liters a day 👍 but agree I need more than two litres
@@robertmann1423 You should try it just as an exercise, it could also be informative to other people just starting out, if you could say that my family of x, with y kids use xx litres for drinking and cooking in an average day. Everyone just goes by the "experts" recommendations, which I think is a big down fall 😞 What purifier do you have ?

It's a building process. It takes time, don't panic ,it's never ,I repeat NEVER too late to start, a little bit gathered on ANY budget will help
Wind up radios with built in torch is also a good idea!
Start with buying extra food and starting a first aid kit, both will come in handy even if nothing happens.

That's is a very realistic amount, 7lt (12 pints) a day
A nice simple back to basics introduction to prepping.. great job Mike.
Great video and sound advice for someone starting out
Don’t forget prepping the basics for any pets! If you have any. can be easily overlooked

very daunting maybe but in my opinion fail to plan, plan to fail!
