I always use a sterno stove. Once I ran out of fuel while cooking bacon and discovered that I hadn't replenished my supply. I poured the bacon grease into the can, stuffed in a paper towel and finished cooking breakfast.
Good idea! Thanks for sharing!
I bought a Coleman dual fuel stove. Cooking fuel/unleaded gasoline. I’m still scared cooking with gasoline but I had to prepare and get used to it. Great idea with the grease, it sounds like the Crisco candle. Good job.
@@cuteone1702 I'm afraid of gas stoves too , I've never been burned by sterno
@@normaraynor9420 I always have gasoline around somewhere so that’s a nice feature.
@@normaraynor9420 yes it’s not normal to cook with Gasoline. I’m almost used to it now. And the MPG is good.
It would be nice if we were physically capable of bugging out, but we're not. How about a series on what Seniors, the Elderly or physically challenged should do? Like people in their 70's or 80's who have no children who can help. Thanks
Bugging in seems like the only option available and has a much better chance of survivability than bugging out which should be a last resort anyway. Just be sure to prep any meds you need, a three month supply of something you need to live will give you a three month survival rate. All vital meds will not be able to be replenished soon, even pain meds. You need years worth of meds.
@@Rajamak I agree about the years worth of meds, but most doctors don't. So being able to build up a supply of vital medications is going to be hard. I don't know of any way except to try and survive on 1/2 the recommended dose in order to build up a supply.
Learn what herbs are grown for pain and how to prepare them and take them with water, coffee or tea.
Other herbs for other conditions.
Get security and ammo. You can shoot from a wheelchair or a kneeling position.
Go to all the food banks in your area to build up your stock of food.
Can, dehydrate and store food that stores for a long time.
Check out all the expiration dates when you buy your food. The cans or pkgs way in the back are the newest items on the shelf.
But motion light's for around your house or apt.
Make sure that you have blankets and warm clothes if you have cold weather. Good boots and shoes, coats, scarves, gloves and hats too.
I'm getting into my late 60's with mobility issues and my adult child wouldn't help me if I was on fire.
We have to do what we can, go to thrift stores to buy what we need, a little at a time.
PRAY. BLESSINGS
@@judya.shroads8245 thank you. All very good ideas. I can identify with you about your adult children helping you. I'm in the same situation. Thanks again.
City Prepping has done some TH-cam videos on this. We too are senior senior citizens, with no family around or within several states. We do have a few Prepping friends in our county, but we are all 60 +!!! We have picked up a couple of walkers, including 1 very heavy duty rolling walker that can go through any terrain, some good wagon carts for hauling heavier items, shifting livestock feed or gardening supplies, etc. We have an adjustable bedside commode, crutches, canes, extra braces for knees, elbows, wrists, ankles & even a couple of back braces.
An overlooked class of knives from most preppers are diving knives. I have a couple of cheap $15 SEAC diving knives that have lasted well now. Holds a great edge and comes with rubber straps to attach the hard plastic case to your arm or leg. Made to operate in sea water too.
I saved more than $100 last month when the gas and grocery prices spiked. I had my two months supply of gas bought and stored at $3.00/gallon and just went back yesterday when prices dropped to $3.48/gallon to replenish the month used. As far as groceries... Milk and bread are all I need, but the price of perishables dropped when people Could not afford them
Bear Creek dehydrated soups for $2.98 at Walmart. Good for about 8 servings according to the package. We've tried the Cheddar Broccoli and Cheddar Potato and really like them.
Thanks for sharing!
Agree, just add water and taste excellent
Add these to fresh soups for seasoning. And good for bug out bags or longer storage.
There's only 800-900 calories per pouch, which isn't exactly 8 servings. More like 2 max if you're trying to survive on it. They are $3.57 each now. ☹️
Because those soups are so much water i add rice or a can of beans n maybe a 12oz can of chicken (walmart) to it for more protein.
Note: A butane stove is safe to use indoors if you are bugged in without electricity. They’re used regularly in kitchens around the world, especially Asia.
Yep, I actually think it’s comical that so many say not to use it indoors here in the US. Same with the propane ones for that matter. When I was a kid we lived out in the boonies, and while we had electric everything our kitchen stove and oven ran off of propane. Once every couple of weeks we would run to town and get our propane tanks refilled. We just used a couple of the 5 gal tanks. We also had kerosene heaters for the winter. The only problem with the butane stoves is that butane doesn’t like cold weather, so if you live somewhere cold you have to prep for that. That said I’ve got 2 of them with a decent supply of fuel.
An alternate fuel for the Solo is HEET (in the yellow bottle). Still a buck50 or 2 at your local auto parts store. Smaller long-necked container makes these much easier to pour into the stove as well.
70+ years old and a beginner prepper. Thanks for these great videos.
There's videos on how to make an alcohol stove out of cans and how to make a home Berkey style water filter out of containers and bought filters.
PS(I know you likely know all of this but this is for the subs looking for new ideas.)
I need to make a (HUGE!) list of the open pollinated seeds I`ve been collecting since last year getting ready for my (delayed) move to a rural lot near a stream. I`ve been buying very unique varieties of edible plants seeds. I`m planting artichokes finally. They don`t even sell them in the stores here. I ate some over 40 years ago. Two year wait on those and asparagus.
Don`t forget indoor hydroponic gardens. They have low wattage LED lights now. If you like greens, herbs, leaf lettuce like buttercrunch and romaine, and things like that it`s so very easy to grow them indoors very fast and they taste great. Transplant a couple of them outdoors at the end of Spring and they`ll shoot up into tall plants with pretty yellow flowers that make a huge amount of seeds.
Tomatoes never taste their best unless they`re grown in sun but you can grow them (Tiny Tim dwarf types) indoors for the vitamins instead of taste. Peppers grown indoors taste fine and one chili pepper has the vitamin C of SIX oranges and greatly boosts metabolism! Spacemaster cucumbers are a good choice when space is limited.
I plan to attempt indoor Winter/hot Summer potatoes indoors and a moringa tree in Winter to give it a huge boost before transplanting time in Spring. Some interesting plants I discovered are New Zealand and malibar spinach (a vine), amaranth (ancient grain), yakon, Mexican potato, kohlrabi, Jerusalem artichoke (sun choke), and sorghum which is called the pancake plant because the stems can be made into syrup and the seeds heads into flour for pancakes. The stalks can be peeled, cut up into small pieces, and boiled in a pot, strained, then reduced to sorghum syrup. Sun chokes and amaranth can easily grow wild once started in an old field or along a dirt road.
I need to make that list. Can`t remember all the new stuff I`ve recently learned. I grew up on a Louisiana farm and am trying new foods.
Please share it when you are done!
@@diypreppertv I bought two cameras to document my prepping adventures after I move. I`m so frustrated because my move was delayed and I have so much to share. I can`t do anything here due to family members, kids, and a brain damaged yapping dog.
@@diypreppertv I bought seven tabletop hydroponic gardens, about ten years minimum of fertilizer for them, and several nice grow lights. Our country is in a mess and to be able to eat healthy I have no choice but to grow as much as I can. I hope to have lots of extra to share with elderly people worse off than me. I`m disabled from a head and neck injury from a car accident and my doctor has warned me that I have to get exercise whether it hurts or not so I have to keep going. Not giving up. I bought an electric tiller and two 50 ft heavy duty extension cords. I think I can do it without hurting myself. I can`t yank on pull cords so it`s electric everything. With the right battery and inverter I can have a tiller off grid because I bought a lot of solar power stations and panels but wasn`t able to afford one large enough for that much amps. I got them for refrigeration/freezers etc after hurricanes. Can`t lose my food again...not if I grew it.
Just keep going! Thanks for watching and commenting! It sounds like you are doing a lot right!
Walmart has an Auguson Farm food bucket in the food section for $20.
I bought rechargeable litters, on amazon, can use each of them like 300 times, and with the usb wire, I can plug it to my little solar lamp :)
Mora knives for life......i have many moras.....never been disapointed by any of them....period!
A good hatchet and a file or stone to keep it sharp will take the place of a knife, water filter and travel stove. The hatchet is far more versatile than any knife. Use the Bic lighter to light the firewood you made with the hatchet to cook your food in the pan you already own and boil your water. I have owned an Estwing for more than a decade and would not trade it for any other hatchet out there. It holds an edge very well, has great heft and length, the axe head and handle are also forged as one unit and the grip today feels as good as the first time I used it.
One hypothetical sidenote I'd like to make is...if worse comes to worst and you have to defend yourself with a bladed weapon, I will end you in one adrenaline fueled furious no holds barred strike. If you do manage to block my attack with your arm your arm is now most likely broken and bleeding profusely if not dangling from a few bits of intact flesh.
To the very few of you who have read this far if you do not own a hatchet buy one. Estwing is fantastic Gerber appears to me to also be good though I have not owned one, both are affordable. Short axes are incredibly dangerous so you must learn to use correctly, many people have sank one into their own leg with a misstrike swinging it incorrectly so watch some TH-cam tutorials before getting acquainted with your new MVP of preps.
Harbor Freight has a nice hatchet, cheap.
I live by the Buck Knife factory. They have a parking lot sale every year where you can get really nice knives that have slight blemishes on them.
I got a $140 knife for $35 because the handle was scratched.
Feel ya about the prices. The past two trips to Walmart I had items that rang up more than the tag said. Lol they can't raise prices fast enough. I guess they don't realize that as they constantly raise prices we only buy essentials not luxury items..they are hurting themselves in the long run. Great vid👍
Thanks Travis!
Thanks JR for your continuous great advise 👍👍🙏🙏
You’re welcome Kathleen! Thank you for supporting the channel!
Thank you for the upload and informations. I discovered your channel not long ago, I admit I did binge watch a lot of your content. Keep up the great work and thank you for it.
You’re welcome Alan! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Years ago I bought a can of matches from Camping Survival. It was a sealed can of match books.
I have never seen them advertised anywhere since then. Maybe they're out there somewhere.
Unusual prep item.
That’s interesting. I need to look into those.
JR, you are the greatest, I admire you for doing this video,
Great video. I am also a fan of the Merrell MOAB hiking shoes. Quality waterproof shoes are a must for country living in the deep south! I have a pair just like yours.
Thanks for all the great videos.
You’re welcome! Thanks for supporting the channel!
thank you as always
You’re welcome! Thanks Nick!
Socks, extra sturdy footwear, clothing. Have some larger sized clothes for any kids as they grow fast. Cleaning products. Disposables. Paper plates help spare limited water supplies. Diapers, the same, and when traveling. Cleaning up nasty messes that would ruin washable rags and towels. Used for possible contagious individuals.
Thank you
As far as lighters go, I highly recommend buying refillable lighters and refill canisters. Transition from disposable to refillable, as you can, even though disposables are still useful for starting fires with just the sparks from the wheel after being emptied of fuel.
I bought a stove that can operate on propane or butane. I also found butane at Sam's club a lot cheaper than Walmart. Great content for new preppers! Keep spreading the knowledge. Nothing will help you be prepared more than knowing how to survive with what you have (knowledge).
Thanks Jeremy!
What a perfectly timed video. I was just wondering about knives for my son when the adoption is finalized. He REALLY liked the one I was using on Saturday, but it was homemade by someone, so I can't get another one. Mora would be good for my daughter when that day comes too, especially if I can find a pink one.
We adopted our son as well, but we did an infant adoption. We got him when he was 4 days old. I have been getting him what I call “A Little Man Starter Kit”. It already has a My First Victorinox Swiss Army Knife in it. He won’t get it until he is older, but I’d rather buy him stuff like that than toys. He gets plenty of those from grandparents.

Find on TH-cam “ how to refill 1 lb propane cylinders “
A $10 adapter to an upside down 20 lb cylinder . Refill that $5 cylinder for .50 cents .
Also , for about $20 is a screw to the cylinder Coleman burner . Works great and use mine every day for at least 5 years .
They make the Companion HD in stainless too. I've got $300 knives, but honestly I like and use the Moras more than anything. It's the light weight and the sheath. It has such a good and simple sheath with the thumb ramp and how it clips on and off easily.
Yeah, I love the BK-16, but the Mora is just so practical, especially for “wet” tasks like game processing. I also like how easy the sheath is to clean.
Thanks ☺️
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching!
Cool video thanks.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
I'm new to prepping would like to have enough stuff for like a month
Yep, lots of new folks out there. Stick with em for a bit buddy.
Thank you Steven!
I like it!!
I’ve got a morakin and kabar BK2 in my go bag
Great list, JR! Lots of good information and ideas included. Thanks for keeping us informed! 👍
Thank you Millie! I appreciate your kind words and support!
I definitely need a camp stove
A cheaper option for a good knife is a mossy oak skinner knife I have one with a approximately 4 1/2 inch blade and have used it for over 8 years as a everyday use knife and it is built tuff but that's just my two cents. Hope this helps someone stay safe and keep your powder dry.
Thanks for sharing!
If I had to do it all over again this is probably the order of stuff The water filter sawyer etc.. good first thing, CamelPak or just water blader if you already have a pack with awater feed system. Instead of the flashlight advice everyone always gives I would say head lamp.. ideally with multiple colours you can get a cheap rechargeable headlamp with white blue and red and redandblue as well as motion sensor for around the same price as a flashlight, instant coffee. Instead of fix blade knives I would recommend a good multitool I have had tons of instances of needing a multitool but I cant recall one that required a fixedblade knife. A smartphone or tablet allows a lot of ebooks to learn more for a phone it also provides emergency communication maybe you can also get apps like zello or walkietalke and mesh to have short distance communication with it taking away the need for a baofang etc.. overall there is the starter food.. again a few bags of rice and wheat where still available are a good start for a two week add on.. after that it is touch and go. Water only becomes a real need for 72 hours if you are active.. you can go a week without food or water if you are not active and not sweating.
I know that folks react differently to getting dehydrated but I can't even go through a day without plenty of water or I get debilitating and agonizing muscle cramps. Please, don't plan on being able to get by without water for more than a few hours.
There is a link about for "emergency antibiotics". Has anyone used this?
The prices on Berkey components is outrageous now. I want to say the price of 2 black filters in 2016 was $60 for the pair. I just picked up 2 2-packs on sale for $300. Same story for the fluoride filters plus they are practically impossible to find now. I'll be glad when I move to our rural property and at least won't need the fluoride filters anymore.
I agree. I need to order some, but I’m not going to pay what they are charging right now.
@@diypreppertv Living with what you have and refusing to pay higher prices leaves most sellers with two options, sell it for what you can or let it ruin. When the consumer doesn’t pay what the market wants, the market collapses and the seller is in the same boat as the consumer. This is one reason that certain entities frown on preppers. Have you ever noticed that all new and improved you gotta have items eventually go into the discount isle?
Can you fix the sawyers inside a Berkeley?
On well water containing natural flouride. But use a Zero countertop filter for drinking water
Never hurts to have any water source tested.
Carbon steel blades are much easier to sharpen.
I bought Sawyer and Lifestraw filters but I also got an expensive Air Still due to its simplicity and low wattage. I can make distilled water (or alcohol) using my larger solar power stations although I`ll have to do it while they`re connected to solar panels and will likely have to use four of them as a team as the batteries drain. But it`s doable. In two hours I can make a 5th of 80 to 100 proof alcohol but water takes longer. Our water here is nasty so I wanted to cover several options or be able to make clean water from the creek nearby in an emergency plus some medicinal alcohol when necessary. I live a long ways from stores without transportation so I have to cover a lot of bases. I think it takes about 7 to 8 hours to distill one gallon of water using 350 watts per hour. I bought three 12 volt cookers that can be wired directly to solar panels. As a last resort for starting fires I have a 3 inch magnifying glass and several plasma lighters that can be quickly recharged with a folding solar panel.
Thanks for sharing!
The link to the video “ A New Prepper’s First Purchase” says that the video is private and it won’t open.
I think that you shouldnt buy sawyer mini its not as nearly good as sawyer squeeze or sawyer micro because sawyer squeeze is bigger but it filtrates faster and the micro is smaller than a mini but still has the same flow rate
We miss the ‘stache!
I don’t, lol. Accidentally shaving off a little too much was one of the best mistakes I ever made. 😂
Go for the Berkey
Knock knock
Who's there
Training Day$$$$
The next video should be called "The $100 After Next"
And the next one, and the next one, and the next one…
“Good grav#y” hey watch it, this is a family channel 😂
