- This is how we prepare for any type of storm, not just hurricanes. Don't let empty shelves and food shortages at the grocery store cause panic when a storm hits. I'll tell you what to beware of when evacuating including our horror story evacuation at the house of horrors. These are the supplies you need to have on hand at all times for emergencies whether it's hurricanes, tornadoes, blizzards, tropical storms, or more. Thanks for watching! 👍 SUBSCRIBE: bit.ly/2Iy7PK3

Sally- 17 days without power as the gallant out of state power crews worked relentlessly to rebuild the power infrastructure. The west eye wall came over my home for hours! Elevation- 7ft above sea level, house up on a 12 foot knoll and piers a full story above that.. I call it the treehouse.. what a ride!!! But all us in my neighborhood made it!!
I love where I live, crazy.. but love it!
We moved from Houston to Arkansas 4 months ago…so we’re glad to be out of Hurricane zones
As a guy born and raised in FL this is one of the best hurricane preparedness videos I’ve seen in years.
Thanks!
Absolutely! 👍⭐️
Agreed! I’m a 3 generation Floridian and the shallow well was genius
I moved to Florida in 2018, to get away from the nanny state of Maryland. I'm about 5 miles from State Rt 1, and1.5 miles from I95. Accordion shutters, New strong roof and a hand pump for my well, I'm good. I have water filtration systems, and plenty of food, plus other things to keep me in my home. Get ready folks, it's getting worse by the day. Arm up, and get yourselves ready!
@@64samsky I wish I had the funds to “get ready”, I don’t even have my own land… People keep saying that “everyone should prep” but I’ve been broke/financially crushed since Obama around 08’. That crash destroyed my finances completely until just recently when I felt “I’m finally seeing the light at the end of this tunnel”, and now it’s going right back down the tubes with all this inflation. I can’t afford my weekly food bill.. let alone the extremely high housing costs… how does one prep from that place? Truly asking.. 😔
Very important to keep Benadryl in the emergency med kit. Just in case there could be allergy issues from air to bites.
EVERYONE moving to FL should be required to watch YOUR vid. Well done!
Or anywhere on gulf coast or East Coast.
I would have slept in my car , to hell with trying to sleep with the spiders , no freaking way .
Despite all the hurricanes in the last 10 years, many Floridians still wait until announcements are made before they get ready. And those who don't prepare always complain about those who did.
The unprepared complainers are a piece of work. During all the supermarket issues during covid, 'they' blamed 'preppers' for the empty shelves! In actual fact, it was the opposite, the unprepared emptied the shelves (panic buying, over stocking, not thinking about anyone else's needs) and us preppers, just stayed away from the supermarkets as much as possible. When I did go, I was always ahead of the curve (of crazy). They were buying up toilet paper like not another roll would ever be manufactured again, I just bought a few items that I was low on, say in canned goods or frozen, and not more than I really did need. By the time the crazies moved to canned goods and frozen, I was stocking up on wine. LOL I figured I needed more wine to deal with that level of crazy.
.keep pushing the trade & barder for goods & services.
.very smart!
. truth & light .
.🔺🔺👍
CO detector is not being paranoid; it's being very smart if you have any sort of flame in an enclosed area. Smart man! ; )
Add some extra screws for your hole punchers. Js.. 😆 lol.
I feel ya! We live in SC. Technically close enough to Myrtle Beach area to enjoy but far enough away to not have to evacuate. However, with hurricane winds and biblical rain fall you need to be prepared.
You and your loved ones need to be the 🐜 Ants in the story. Because there are far too many Grasshoppers waiting to take advantage. Especially when all the emergency services are swamped or various roads impassable.
My mom always taught us that it's better to have and not need than to need and not have.
Amen to that.
🙏🏻💕
Beer is important 👌
You're gonna be up for a while watching TWC! When you grow up on the Gulf coast you keep extra toilet paper 🧻 and water year round . Chest freezers stay cold for 7 days if you freeze jugs of water in them. Crank up the grill and you've got breakfast lunch and dinner!
Hackman, you hit this right on the nose, just made it thru Ian, we always prep 2 weeks food, water and gas; it’s excessive but going out after the storm is dangerous! People are desperate, traffic lights are out.
This video is great! Wish I’d seen this before Maria hit PR we were without power for more than 2 months and the things that really helped my family survive were:
1. Have a way to filter water, luckily we had storages of tap water in different containers that we could filter out, we had a small trickle coming from the faucet but as he said the first few days it was brown..
2. Have more than you think you’ll need in food, canned food and dried food, we didn’t ever think we would be months without power but having at least 2 weeks in food helped us to stay put, wait for the chaos in the supermarket to die down
3. Have cash, we never thought we would need it but even though the company that managed all the atms and pos machines never went down, all other connectivity did so for the first few weeks all transactions were cash
4. Have a gas burner, be it propane or butane (I had both) and between the two we were able to cook all our meals
5. A satellite phone, I didn’t have that and we were basically in the dark from my other family members there was no phone service for days, we managed to get some signal by getting on one of the highways and there I finally managed to contact family members outside the island to tell them about what was happening.
6. Battery radio, didnt have this either and we had to run one of the cars to use the radio and basically learn what was the state of things on the island from there, luckily they never went off the air and although it sounds dumb it was actually comforting to just hear a status report even if it wasnt too good.
7. Power generator, this was useful in at least keeping perishables frozen (like insulin and maybe meats) it also helped to freeze bags of water inside the freezer to keep things cold on the off hours, and keeping electronic devices charged (make sure to use a surge protector though) one note with this, keep it out of sight.. our generator got stolen because I left it in the garage in view to the streets (it was a fenced garage style it was gated but people could still look in) we left it there because maria had blew our zinc ceiling from the porch so the generator would have been exposed to the elements, people get really desperate during these times and a lot resorted to stealing from others and one day some people yanked my garage door and stole it while everyone was away
8. Keep in contact with neighbors and friends, everyone is struggling and just having conversations with them can help you get some sanity back
This is not an exhaustive list but just a few things I remembered going through it that helped me, hopefully it might help someone else
Boy, the more comments I read, the more grateful I am not to be living in that area of the country! Stay safe, from the Pacific Northwest!
While I do like the hitch lock you have on your trailer, it's one of the beefiest looking locks I have ever seen, there is another, and much more effective way to secure your trailer. Just about any business that sells trailers (campers, boats, utility, etc.) will make the tongue portion, break away. This usually costs about $100-$200 depending on the size of your trailer. What they do is cut the tongue off the chassis of your trailer, weld on a sleeve (both sides) that will accept both pieces that were just cut off, and you then put locks or pins in the sleeves for transportation. When you get to your destination, pull those pins or locks, and store the tongue as far away from your trailer as you'd like. The ONLY way someone is going to steal your trailer, is if they have an identical trailer with the same break away that you have, or just load it up onto a flatbed. And if they're going to go that far to take your trailer, nothing was going to stop them in the first place. Another advantage to doing this, is that you don't have to worry about your trailer locks seizing up, and becoming unable to unlock, or refusing to release your key, all compliments of Mother Nature, or your furry four legged male friend who likes to lift a leg and water your trailer lock periodically.
Ramen soup does not require heat to be edible, just soak the noodles in water for 5 minutes or so, and they will soften up, and are ready to eat. I have even seen some guys go full commando and chow them down like rice cakes, I politely passed on that extreme. Those noodles are already precooked, actually deep fried, before packaging. Another heat source if you don't have electricity or propane to cook with, is some dry wood and a magnifying lens, or if you're blessed like me, your eye glasses, can be used to focus light onto leaves or paper to light a fire. For batteries, I like to use rechargeable batteries, and you can get a cheap solar power kit from Harbor Freight to power up your battery charger, and your phones. One of those portable jump packs for your vehicle's battery is also a great addition, never know when you might need one. Many of them have USB ports to recharge your devices as well.
I love it when ppl prepare for storms. I remember growing up we used to fill the washer and the tub in 2nd bathroom with water when huge storms were headed our way. Even now I keep extra gallons of water in bathroom and kitchen for emergencies. It's the most basic thing I can do. Great video and very helpful. Thanks!
Something that I found nice to have is an addition to your drinks. Just having the bottled water or your seven and half gallon water container and then carry along a box of say green tea bags. I have found also that if you get some mint and we found we have natural growing mint here, you add just one little leaflet and then some Stevia instead of sugar. This makes a very tasty and healthy drink, sugar is so bad for you. The mint gives it a good flavor and it is natural and safe. The green tea also helps your body to burn the fat after your meal and your digestion process. Good luck to everybody, and God bless you all.
+ salt 👍
I so appreciate your videos. I, too, was born, raised, and retired in Florida. I watched your video expecting to learn a thing or two. Oh, my goodness! You absolutely win the Internet today for the products and suggestions you presented that I just did not know they existed. I definitely love the EcoFlow and 'diaper dam' or Quick Dam product. I'm getting those items for sure. I have 11 exterior doors on my home... well, 7 if we don't count garage doors entrances. We built our property up, and ditched stairs, building on a slab. We're older and have my 88 yr old father that lives with us, so we did not build a raised foundation, which gives you a huge leg up in case there's a lot of rain. I did not know this product existed. I'll feel better knowing I have something, just in case I need to protect our entrances. Thanks again! Blessings to you and yours.
THANK YOU! My husband is always so bewildered when I want to avoid hotels!
A couple of thoughts:
-hot water tanks (that hold water) are also a source of water.
-Only buy food you like to eat. The rest will just be unpleasant.
-Toilet paper needs to be in large zip lock bags to stay dry (and the zip lock bags can be used to back out your waste or batteries for recycling)
-Headlamps so your hands are free
- All devices should use easy to find (in retail outlets like gas stations) batteries (AAA or AA)
-I am a fan of the small folding military shovel (the point is great for getting snow or sand out from where the tire will meet the ground.
-Copies of all documentation for each person and animal.
-Seasonally appropriate boots.
-The dirty cloths hamper (the cloths that are what your family is actually choosing to wear, fits them, is seasonally appropriate).
-a couple of basic tarps. To cover stuff, or for personal privacy
-I like a beach towel each person or receiving blanket small to medium sized pet.
-Extra leashes, and harnesses, pet tie downs
Thank your comment very informative
Intresting content, I live in Southeast Texas almost 100 miles inland from the gulf of Mexico at 425 feet above sea level. Flooding is not an issue with me. In 2005 Hurricane Rita, tore this area up. Sustain wind at 130 with gust to 225 mph, pretty much deforested the area. It took 4 months before power restored. The electric Co-op had 100% infrastructure destroyed. So no working gas station to buy fuel anywhere. I now run my dual fuel generator on propane. I have 2 500 gallon propane tanks set to have fuel to operate the generator/cook food/ operate my water well. And yes if the undesirables come along to take my property, I have lead dispenser's to solve that problem as well. We are all in the same pickle really. What ever the weather is doing, it seams to be doing it in a much more profoundly. For decades we were told hurricane wasn't going to make a big impact here. We found that out to be a huge lie. Anyway I pray 🙏 we have a less severe and active cane season this year, but I hope we all make adequate prep in case it's much worse. Don't think the government, will be in to save the day very quickly, because they have overspent wildly for too long, we may find out we are bankrupt pretty much. So we must use our brains to make decisions for our best interest for whatever happens. GOD bless and GOD bless the USA. 73 EARNEST K5EWM.
Your exactly right sir... thanks for your input.... lol "lead dispenser"😄😆😂 i literally whooped out loud at my llace...my husband was totally caught off guard funny as heck...
My first 2 kids were born in Fort Worth... we luv Texas
Dude, very sensible advice. Well written and clear headed. Your so right about the weather getting more intense. Stay save( lead dispenser, so freakin funny) Prayers to my Texas friends
We live in Florida. What my husband and I do is get all our hurricane supplies at the beginning of hurricane season. We got tired of not being able to find things like water and propane whenever a hurricane was headed our way. So now we just prepare early on and we get to avoid the madness. And if no hurricane comes our way, we just have a little bit of extra supplies that we will use at some point anyway!
Dido. I do the same thing.
I prep in the off season after the season for the upcoming season. It’s cooler out and things are fresh on my mind that I might not have thought of.
“Shall I say, Hole Punch or Lead Dispenser.” Lol immediate follow and bell notification!
Printed first aid guides will be helpful for anyone that hasn't done first aid training. Actually, I should rephrase, their good for anyone that doesn't use first aid kits or do rescue treatments regularly.
Great list. I would add a deck of playing cards to pass the time… Everything else is fantastic. A chainsaw is a must, even in a house during a hurricane just in case the water rises and you need to escape the house even… I normally keep some kind of heavy duty rain boots and a jacket in case I need to walk or do you work outside of the house by the windows. I keep a large tarp inside of a 5 gal bucket with lots of rope
15:49 for the cards thing and then about 2 mins later he addresses the chainsaw. Heavy duty rain gear is an excellent call though.
Nintendo Switch and battery packs.
@@emc2990
I’d add to your chainsaw, which is a great idea. Worst case scenario, an axe doesn’t take any gas or a battery, just keep it good and sharp. It could potentially save a life
15:51
Watching this makes me feel even better about my decision to live full time in my camper trailer where I’ve spent the last couple of years prepping for anything and have pretty much everything you mentioned packed and ready for any contingency in my tiny rolling home so I’m 100% ready to bug out anywhere if need be and know I could survive at least 3 months with what I have on hand!
Smart! You sure don't want to be in a trailer in a tornado!
@@cbryce9243 no tornadoes here!
The wife was always asking why I need so many hole punchers, why they need accessories, why I need so much special lead. So I asked why she need so many shoes and purses - she has yet to ask me again.
Those hole punchers & lead dispensers will always be much more useful than any purse.
Same goes for jewelry, ya can't eat it & it won't keep ya dry or warm. At least your "toys" will enable you to do it all.
The Pocket Project makes clothes for women with at least 8 inch deep pockets so women are better able to store necessary things. Secure. No need for accidents. Dad had 3 girls.
One thing that I am stocking up on is how to, or survival books. I'm so used to looking everything up on TH-cam and Google, but will not be able to if it really gets serious. I definitely need something to reference and help me along when the time comes, so books are great with no electricity or signals lol.
Yes. We’ve been doing that also. Everyone relies so heavily on the internet if it went down nobody would know how to do anything.
Good piratical suggestion. I have lived in Florida since 1944 and been threw a few storms. One trick we do is to take a 55 gal trash can , line it with a heavy duty construction bag and then fill it with water. That offers drinking water and even water for flushing the toilet if you are so inclined. A camping Porta potty is a better bet. The wife and I used a PETT Portable Environmental Toilet for the last few Hurricanes. A pantry full of canned goods.
For the last 60 some years I have been a camper so I have all of the camping items like water filters , backpacking foods , candle lanterns , alcohol , gas and propane stoves. Actually if you outfit yourself like backpacker is equipped you have it made. When you can survive in the woods for a extended time you can survive a storm at home.
Watching this shortly after Hurricane Ian. It was astounding to me how many were unprepared, despite weeks of prediction. The last minute lines for food, water, fuel, etc. just baffled me. We prep for a mere snowstorm on my Montana ranch, just because we don't want to have to share the roads with bad drivers. And by "prep" I mean buying the comfort foods we want. Our constant preps amount to a year's worth of freeze dried food, several years worth of firewood & hand pumps on our wells. I can't imagine not being prepared in a storm prone area
We had a really heavy rain up the river from us where we used to live. A trailer park was washed away and there were several deaths. The flood surge took 6 hours to get to our town. When it did, we had no warning from any authorities. We piled what we could in my truck and drove through 6 inches of rushing water to get out. In the end, our house was fine, but we thought we were going to be using that flood insurance.
What we learned is, be organized. We have an evacuation list that starts at immediate evac, five minutes of prep, ten minutes, twenty, etc. Each stage builds on the last. Having a list means you don't have to think when facing an unexpected evacuation.
20:02 that has to be one of the best innuendos I’ve heard in a while. I’ll have to remember that for later. Thanks.
The amount of water you need is staggering. Our pipes froze for a few weeks and I'd fill up several gallons every couple of days it was only 2 people and 2 small dogs. Felt like I was constantly going over to refill water.
I also live in Florida I keep 3 months of food on hand at least 10 propane tanks 50 gallons of gas I have two generators and multiple lead dispensing devices I also have two elderly parents and we've all sat down and eaten a bunch of MREs to figure out the ones that we all like it's not a bad idea to prep and get food that you can deal with
Adam, you are spot on about everything! And having lived my whole life on the East Coast of North Carolina, I agree with most everything except leaving during a hurricane. If it's a Cat 5, yes maybe I will leave but less that that maybe not. It depends on the storm. The bad things is that you can leave, have damage done to your house or property, and then they won't let you return for days or weeks, whereas if you had just stayed there, you could have draped a tarp or done measures to reduce the damage (and not to mention, protecting your stuff from the looters) by being there and acting fast. I know people that they would not let back to their property for a week, and the initial damage caused by the hurricane wasn't that bad but the weeks' worth of rain after the storm really damages their things and house. Just saying. It's always better to be safe than sorry, but I life about 15 miles now from the ocean and not going. Just like you said, being prepared is the key! vr, SR
I live nowhere near hurricane country and I still enjoyed every second of this video.
Me too. Because even though we don’t live near hurricane territory, one never knows when there will be a 100-year flood, or a flood caused by a damn burst, or a crazy El Niño year, or?
Also, power can go out for days ANYWHERE, for whatever reason.
Weird sense of genius...I'll substantiate...lol..thanks for making the videos. 😎🇺🇸👍
I like the whole punch and lead dispenser, very clever 🤌🏼👍🏼
😉
I've lived on the Texas Gulf Coast for 64 years. Been through more hurricanes than i can remember. And been 10 miles from the gulf for 40 years, but fortunately over 20 foot elevation. I laugh at people who buy bottles of water. I fill up our 5 gallon igloo and put it on the counter next to the sink. I keep about 8 2 liter bottles of water in the freezer. I also put an ice chest under the roofline to catch rainwater for flushing the toilet. And fill the tub. We have a gas stove so we can use it even if the power goes out. We keep canned goods stocked year round.
We don't evacuate since flooding isn't an issue for us.
"Good Lawd It's HOT out heah!" Excellent video HAXMAN! More great tips about being prepared.
Hole punch....Lead Dispenser...LOVE IT!!🤣🤣
Great video- as a pepper and bug-out prepared, I can only add, that those who say, ya gotta have a lot of money to do all these things, just need to start getting a few things weekly ahead if time, slowly build your stash if money is tight. As a southerner, I've ridden out these times both after Katrina left us without power for 11 days, not far from the gulf, (generators and pre- prepping saved us!) but also after moving to the mtns. of Arkansas in the middle of the national forest and ice storms leaving us without power for 11 days again. And those with pets need to also stash pet food. Keep gas tanks full and know your escape routes and alternative routes. And keep a map in glove box! And of course, a good tool kit, extra alternator belt and even alternator for those that know how to replace them on older vehicles. 🙄
This is by far the best evacuation, emergency preparedness video, I have ever seen! It was vivid, colorful, informative, real-life shit and freaking hilarious without trying to be! Hence, it keeps my attention and jogs my memory, when I'm in stores, I may forget the milk and eggs but not what Haxman has said...it's crazy..! I swear Haxman was sent to help me....thank you keep it up, because this ignorant Chitown Country traveling nurse...is learning more since leaving the north, while down here in Georgia..., And I plan on stay in the south...! Tractor supply store... Farms that sell meat directly to you and not a store...wth, what's that? I never seen them in Chicago 🤣 but I'm getting my Prepper life together!
We live in central Florida, Ocala, right in the middle. We get hit with bad storms at times. Luckily the new house we are getting has a backup Generator for the house and is solar. Mi casa, su casa buddy if you ever got to get outta dodge.
Glad you mentioned pew's a lot of people don't talk about it, if you don't have one and training you just become a very expensive loot drop to someone.
My dad always keeps gallons of water in storage, and when we hear a hurricane is coming, momma would bleach and disinfect one bathroom to near-surgical standards and then it was not to be used for anything. The 12 hours before the storm, she would fill the bathtub with water and make sure the toilet was clean and full of water. Those would be cooking water or last resort water. My dad also bought a generator. After Fran, we were the only house within 5 miles that had electricity, so we would let the elderly in our neighborhood come stay in the house during the day to stay cool, and all the neighbors pulled out grills, it was essentially a neighborhood cookout every night, and gave us all their perishables to put in our fridge. We were without electricity for over 2 weeks. Emergencies like that are horrible, but it is also amazing how entire communities come together.
Whoa.. that must be a trip trying to evacuate with dogs, chickens, gerbils, rabbits, parrots, goats, and a partridge in a pear tree.. along with all of THEIR food and needs!😱
I'd think you'd need another cargo trailer behind your cargo trailer just for your mini Noah's arc action goin on there🐔
Yes. I’ve been thinking about building a bigger trailer.
4:52, I live on a boat, I haul my water out to my boat every 5 or 6 days, 5 -6- 7 gallon water containers, stick with the 5 gallon (that’s 40 pounds) you’ll feel that extra 8- 16 pounds in your back with the 6 and 7 gallons, stay safe
It's a pleasure to watch your channel...addressing serious issues with a great sense of humor. Thank you!
Hurricane season? I still have my monkey pox decorations up.
It's so hard to keep up these days 😂🐵
KeK
Hey HAXMAN, hurricane prep every year for us is a standard thing as well, as we live in Bloomingdale, Georgia (not to far from downtown Savannah, Georgia). We do not have a live in trailer like you but we have a 15 passenger bus that I made into our rolling kennel for all of our dogs and cats. I love your videos by the way, they are awesome.
Thank you
Michael Root... thats awesome! I need that too! 😊
I love this. I have an abundance of rescue cats and I will not leave them. I am maybe 20 minutes drive to the ocean and have stayed with them thru the years . This idea is purfect! Thankyou for sharing. God bless
Great advice as always! We always keep about 6 weeks of food on hand since we live in the Gulf Coast area. We got a direct hit in 2008 from Hurricane Ike sitting at 21' above sea level. The EOC, which is about 5 miles as the crow flies from our house, reported wind gust over 120 mph. We stayed in the house. We lost a portion of our shingles, and the worst part is, no power for 14 days.
Thanks! Yeah, no air conditioning is rough in the south.
Time to buy a dual fuel Generator.
Fill several gas cans, add stabilizer, gas good for one year.
Twist cap loosely and store in SAFE place. I use the gas after hurricane season to fuel my truck. You need Heavy duty power cords and plenty of Tarps in case of roof damage.
I lived in Miami for 40yrs.
We just recently totally downsized,sold the house,bought a cheaper,smaller one and MOVED away from the big City.
Now instead of sitting on 6 feet above sea level, we are on around 180 feet above sea level. Cost of living in Nord Florida has gone up too but Nothing like Miami !! We literally FLED !! At least here we have farms,land. Forrest behind my house, lot's of men with big beards and
Large Trucks...most I've asked ARE armed which I like as long as none snap.
I honestly feel safer here as I get older.
Yeah, Irma made me buy a very expensive generator. Never needed it. Since then I've added solar and batteries.
We stopped fleeing hurricanes years ago. Instead I invested in a metal roof, storm shutters, back up energy. As long as we aren't facing a direct hit from a category 5 we're staying put. Cat 5 and we're fleeing because it can blow a block house off the foundation
@@anitaparks8945 I'm thinking moving to florida..what county did you move to?
Your thoughts and plans are very similar to ours. We are on the Texas gulf coast. Be ahead of the game always.
I grew up in Florida and the one thing I'd add to your list is plywood.
When a storm is on it's way, if you can get plywood, the price is through the roof
Hole punch, lead dispenser lol. That beats what I heard the other day, bang stick and freedom seeds. Brilliant
2 1/2 dogs.....lol.
Been through my share of hurricanes. Hugo, being the worse. Spent a lot of time outdoors after the storm passed. Would add sun screen to the preps. Nothing to do indoors, bored, stayed outside longer in the sun than usual. Also a long chain strong enough to pull cars, walls and roofs out of the way. Spot on with everything else.
We live in South Africa and rarely have natural disasters, until two months back when on the Indian Ocean side the heavens opened and washed many a home away as well as services. You always need the basic necessities anywhere as Mother Nature doesn’t play.
Love your channel and keep it up.
Yes. I remember seeing that. Thank you.
Most hurricanes come from Africa, that's where they start.
The 7 gallon plastic water containers work Great Used them living off Grid whenever I went to Town I would always bring back 50-200 gallons of water..I also bought plastic 55 gallon drums for water storage Also...food grade plastic drum work Great..
Thank you for a very informative, instructive, and well presented video. Served with a side dish of humor! I appreciate all the effort and thought you’ve given in putting these together. My family and I thank you. God bless you and your family.
Thank you so much! You as well!
Amen Sir!!
Reminded me of a couple years ago when the new was reporting a huge hurricane beating up FLA and a guy in downtown Miami ordered some hand-forged hooks from me. I thought it was odd that someone in the eye of the storm, moments away from certain death, if you trusted the news, would bother sprucing up his home with some quality blacksmith work. I was even more surprised when the Post Office showed the package arrive safe and sound, well within the normal timeframe. It's almost like the media was lying about things being awful.
I've never bothered with any evacuation. Just listening to your story, the nightmare experience is something I could do without. The chances that you'll have a bad experience at home aren't nearly as good as the chances you'll have a bad experience on the road as you "evacuate". Sure, it's a risk you're taking since you have kids, but I think it's a risk worth taking. You could always build a hurricane shelter in the back yard much like they build tornado shelters in the Midwest. I'd do that long before I'd think about having to pack up everything, knowing you can't take it all, and then leaving your million-dollar home all by itself as the looters and whoever do their thing.
Hole punch, lead dispenser ... LOL. Houston, TX checking in. We keep 50-100 gallons of non-potable water in used kitty litter jugs on hand for toilet flushing as we are on a well. That water can be boiled in the event our drinkable water supply diminishes. Great video Sir! Love the channel. #thumbsup
I love the humor - makes the stress of the subject bearable - God Bless you. & I love your long n curly hair style! Lead dispenser - That's Funny!
I sure am glad I don't live in hurricane alley! Here in the Pacific Northwest, we get occasional storms, but they are nothing like what you guys have!
I bought several oil lamps at Wally World, just in case I run out of batteries
I'm a former insurance agent... Double check with your flood company bc normally the water needs to come in over the threshold and effect more than a certain number of homes to be covered !!!
2:30 -- quite the collection of keys on that ring 🤣
Hahaha died laughing @ “as you can see, we have 2 and a half dogs” haha pure gold!
Thanks Adam! I love the way you put all your emergency supplies together. I'm an emergency manager and I appreciate you!!
Thank you so much Cindy!
"hole puncher or lead dispenser" lol great trick for the lefist algo.
This popped up in my feed.. great info with sense of humor about a serious subject... thanks.
Awesome, thank you!
Great video, thank you. We are Southeast Texans, 8 hurricanes since 2005 plus numerous floods….we are always ready. I like the idea of the trailer. I will look into this, for sure. Thanks again for great tips.
DUDE.!!
Your Video Creations Are
SPECTACULAR.!!!
(and highly informative)
During typhoon season the instant ramen aisle is always the first to go ---you can see which brands are favoured over others as the shelves empty... ;)
Learn from my mistakes. Take the batteries OUT of the lanterns & flashlights, but keep them together so you know you have the right type and correct number (plus spares). Mine corroded inside and could not be cleaned enough to ever work again. And new batteries, if kept too long in storage, can run down. I keep mine in the freezer on the theory it slows down the process. Rechargeable batteries always seem to run down before I need them. I prefer Coast, or Luxmor, flashlights - but - the super cheap ones from Walmart (on sale for $1 several years ago) have lasted 'forever'.
My hand crank radio has a very bright flashlight and USB port for charging. It works well!!
Two and a half dogs! Too funny! I like you!
We live on the Alabama gulf coast. We’ve evacuated 3 times through the years. We don’t evacuate anymore. We are prepared.
Yes. It's a major pain.
Re the spiders. I have a milwaukee portable hoover. Its all I use it for. Spiders and bugs. Quick and easy.
Outstanding content as usual, Hax. I’m in the Florida panhandle and hurricanes seem to have an affinity for this area. Been through too many to count, and I would never evacuate. Prepare, pray, endure, defend life and property, and help others in need. God bless.
Thanks Michael! You as well
We just sold everything and moved from Miami to Tallahassee FL. Did not want to leave Florida but wanted slower pace and more elevation. Neighbor said hurricanes are not as bad here,
bought a metal roof,hope it will hold up well. Thank GOD I was raised by my grandfather to always have Extra food
in a pantry. Grandparent's and parents experienced war times and winters.
I learned a lot from them.

Yes ma’am. Wise to stay in Florida. Tallahassee is a beautiful area. God bless.
Always a joy to listen to you.
You got amazing ideas and it seems youre
prepped a ton better than 99% of general public.
I would probably fill the tires of your trailer with water to cope with heavy sidewinds.
(I did that on my tractor and it worx just great)
An additional watertank right on the floor would also lower the center of gravity and add weight, not a big deal for your beautiful truck.
(Ive seen empty semi trucks getting blown of bridges in Denmark)
Thanks so much
Great idea! Thanks
great shows HAXMAN
Ohmy .. I would have slept in the truck. Thank you, but no spiders for me!! This old lady would have been running out of there screaming!!
Living in Florida must to be crazy !! You are like migratory gipsy tribe.Allways ready to run!!!
I remember the last one, Ivan, thinking it was going to get Tampa, went the same path to Hurricane Charley that was south Florida. I went to Chicago
for a CDL job.
I really like the way you film it. Kept my attention and really different.
Yes, and at 1.75 playback speed for more fun! 💪
I live in a land lock state now but grew up in the Keys... Lived through many Hurricanes... I have more things that others but not like when I lived in Florida
My first visit to this channel and I totally love and relate to this guy. I was laughing and taking notes. Love this guy; he is funny and down to earth.
I'm just coming to stay at your house. And I'll work for free while I'm there. Yardwork, house cleaning, babysitting, etc. 😉👍
Check the contents of your First Aid kit. I used to train adult Scout Leaders and would show them that their Troop First Aid Kit was nothing but expired medicine and band-aides which would no longer stick to anything. Must kits are only good for paper-cuts and headaches. Make sure you take along allergy, anti-diarrhea, Pepto, etc. (that isn't expired...). There are places which will prescribe antibiotics and pain-killers in advance (very useful, do not abuse!). Also, it's expensive but investing in a trauma kit might one-day prove its worth. Even if you don't have the training to use the components, someone else might (and you should at least be familiar with using them, in theory). [Update: just found your video on that.] Get high-quality trauma-shears which can cut through blue-jeans without breaking - from a medical-supply store - not Amazon. By the way, the Delta Max Eco Flow was $1,500 and add $500 for 400w solar panels! I don't think its a generator without the solar panels, but a powerful battery which can be recharged by solar, wall, etc.
The glass breaking when you threw the locks with keys was awesome!
DARN GOOD VIDEO GREAT Imagination....Thank you
Put cutoff valves on the inlet and supply lines of you water heater. Close them and turn it off. You’ll have 30-50 gallons or more of usable water.
Second visit HAXMAN and I'm hooked....just don't bore me.... ;-)
You can definitely eat Ravioli cold, right out of the can. Or, heat it in the can.
Here in Queensland Australia we get severe cyclones every few years and there is always massive damage to infrastructure and homes. I am well prepared to look after my family unlike most of my friends. What I do find is we don't have anywhere near the range of items you have shown, so at least you have given me ideas I can try to copy. Thanks
8:53 pm and I just got power back from the storms that came in today but my Bluetti's keep the freezer and fridge running I have 350 gallon's of water for flushing and about 200 gal's of drinking water a gas Generator and 40 gallons of gas not counting the gas in the truck and van. that's another 65 gallon's I've been making it for 62 years in the south with all the Storms and crap that happens down here. Oh I also have beans incase family want to come stay with me They wont last a day before going to a hotel lol. Dang Matthew did us a number I had to run all the way to Macon to buy a Generator no power for 9 days. Any who I am ready now. Nicely done good tip's Take care stay safe.
I like that bean tip! 😂
I agree about hotels and restaurants fast or sit down.
I am a scratch home cooker.
Yep SW Louisiana here 30 min north from gulf. Watch your mold. After back to back Hurricanes a couple yrs ago we have mold poisoning and suing state farm for repairs on our 2700sq ft 5 yr old home. Had it tested, bad news. I say instead of total walls rebuilt,burn it down. 🤔. Yep listen to this guy. Looking into solar generators. Might not be much gas or to expensive. Loud and dont want people to you have one with SHTF coming very soon. Grocery bags for used toilet paper. Wondering how many hurricanes will be evil man made or natural.
PRAISE GOD THE FATHER
PRAISE GOD THE SON
PRAISE GODS HOLY SPIRIT
BLESSINGS AMEN AMEN
First time viewer....good info!! Like your addition of humor! Subscribed!

This is just a basic list and you need to customize it to fit your personal needs. Again, this is just the basics.
2 gallon of water per person or pet per day. Comfort food. Trust me on this. Personal care kit for bathing and hygiene. Cloths in a travel bag ready to go. Medication for you and your pet Gas tank filled with a spare 5 gallons Propane tank filled for cooking Check your generators. (Drain old fuel if untreated. Do not start if old untreated fuel is in the lines) Flashlight and lanterns. Fuel and batteries ready Tarps, the bigger the better. Tie downs for tarp 50-100 foot of rope or strong cordage People food to go, pet food ready for a week. Copy of documents and insurance paper work. Sand bags filled and ready by doors or entrances. Contact your county for instructions on where to fill. Remove yard waste and objects that will be a hazard to you or your neighbor. Get contact info for your neighbors and especially your elderly neighbors. Establish a meet up location before the storm in case you get separated. First aid kit stocked and ready Fire extinguishers Chainsaw if you have one (be sure it works before the storm. Check it now) Evacuation route mapped and family notified before the storm on your locations with contact info. Tobacco, beer, whiskey, or whatever your prefer. It can be stressful so pack plenty of each if so desired. You will thank me later. Charge all devices. Be sure to pack power cords, and pack extras. Alternative back up portable power for devices Pillow and blankets Bug spray by the gallons. Coolers filled with ice. Lots of ice Thumb drive with a back up of your stuff if not on the cloud.

Don't go crazy but have something to protect yourself with. Bible or whatever your religion is, pack it with you and stay prayed up.
This should get you through for now.
You're the diggity! 🤩
Duct tape is good, but for non elastic applications, glass fiber reinforced tape is handy to have with you as well! It's often what people would have used, if they would just have known about it, instead of duct tape.
