      Yes! Sounds like a great idea. Every location is slightly different. Florida and Hawai’i needs more hurricane preps. Other states need Cold weather preps, earthquake preps. You guys could write off your trips. Urban prepper could probably take his whole family since they have names like baby prepper. Living On an island, government warns the public to have a few weeks of preparation but it is not enough if we get hit by a major storm. Plus now they used up the hurricane fund for the pandemic 😢.
      If any of you prepper gurus come though we are in lockdown and the restaurants are closing down. Also, probably best to focus on urban and multigenerational prepping

  • @Ddabig40mac

    I look at prepping as a financial elephant, in that there's "no way" I can afford to prep for that maybe someday, when today and tomorrow are so expensive. The module approach and the dollar store storage tote is a great way to make that elephant bite size. I *can* afford to fill a little tote each month, and each little tote is progress!

    • @TheUrbanPrepper
      @TheUrbanPrepper  3 ปีที่แล้ว +29

      Yep! That's the trick. Thanks for watching, Darryl. It's all about eating the elephant, one bite at a time. The Dollar Store is a great place to get items too.

    • @dutchcourage7312
      @dutchcourage7312 3 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      There are strategies for this situation, and the main things are 'focus on the priorities' (this would be mainly be food & water), and exchange time for money ... A great and useful project for something like this would be a rotating pantry (if you want me to provide a step by step process let me know). OR another way to look at it sometimes helps as well: 'Having some things ready but incomplete is better then to not have anything at the ready at all'. This can apply to anything, but at least gives you an incentive to start, instead of waiting until you are sure you can get every item you want. F/e in the area of a bug-out bag, just having a dedicated bag with extra clothing, general hygiene items (toothbrush & soap) and a copy of important documents, can probably be put together from the things you have now... Does it mean you can survive for weeks out in the bush? no... but in case of fires, flooding, terrible storms, you can at least 'grab the bag' and move out to somewhere else in the civilized world where those problems are not. And thinking ahead about such a bag, and actually having it at the ready, will obviously result in a better put together bag and the option to leave at a moments notice... And sure, it won't be the Urban Prepper BOB with all the gear and items he collected over 10+ years, but it will surely be better then the things you scrounged together in a couple of hours or even worse, nothing !

    • @lfuentez3295
      @lfuentez3295 3 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    As I build my food storage, I’m also building a “recipe book”. I print off anything I think I’ll need and put it in the notebook. One section is “how to” and the other is recipes I want to try. Then as I try it I’ll either throw it away because it did turn out the way I wanted or move it to the keeper section of the notebook. I keep each sheet in a sheet protector and will take the sheet out only to make notes. Notes could be who like it, any changes I might have made, doing WW I write the points on it, etc. The one thing I’m sure I do is find recipes that will work with the food I’m storing. That way if we don’t have electricity (but can cook) I’ll be able to make things that everyone likes and not just open and serve. Just a suggestion.

    • @TheUrbanPrepper

    Organization, redundancy is key. Having supplies stored/hidden in various locations is important in case of fire, flood, seizure, theft, etc.. But, also having premade kits with various items in case some are lost. Don't have all of a specific need in one container. Like all of your fire making items, or all of your ammo, medical, food... Have kits with various supplies. This is especially helpful to use to hand out to family, friends, neighbors that are in need. These could be a 72 hour type kit... reusable container, food, water, hygiene, fire starter, space blanket, flashlight, med kit, instructions, etc.. They should be age or need specific to include foods, entertainment, Bible/inspirational material, meds, multi tool. Being able to quickly grab a container and hand it to someone lessens the exposure of what you have stocked up.
    And if you don't have to hand out items, having them organized, ready to go makes bugging out quickly much easier, safer.
    It doesn't have to be super expensive. It's definitely better to help out where you can, rather than try and fend off people that you know. Build a relationship with them, so that they may help you.

    Very nice and well organized video. As for me, I'm a bit old fashion and believe in the KISS Method. A pen and note book is all I needed. I learned that a lot of the items needed for my prepping fell into other categories and can be used as such. With this being the case I had to either double the item needed or keep that item where it could be accessible quickly. Part of prepping is keeping your items from prying eyes and those that may wish to take it away from you; so when making your container(s) be sure you can remove the label or if it is part of your BOB, Bug Out Bag, have it marked family photographs/photos. No one wants to dig through your family photographs. :-)

    Great video! I’ve been working at cataloging and organizing all of the various preps that we have. It seems to be a monumental task just to find out where I stand so far 😩 collecting just a little bit at a time over the course of years really adds up. I am also paralyzed at all the categories I have really filled in over the years too. Though I am seeing where the gaps are just writing down and looking at my lists which is great! Prepping ain’t just food and water! I’ve also prepped for shelter, fire, defense, gardening, canning (metal and glass), reloading, and so much more. I realize now I need to color code and break it down into core categories to make it more manageable one at a time. Of course I have started with food and water and have yet to move on to the other categories. I’m going to take a page from your book and color code everything for ease of use. I may also invest in a different organizing method such as shelving, rolling totes, or heck, even a shed of some sort! Preps take up room.

    Ooh, this is good! I really like the shoe box idea, and the color thing is great! I'm going to learn more about how to do the board thing, too; Seems like something like that could help me stay on top of everyday life, as well.
    I live in a camper right now, and even though I'm just a beginner to prepping, space is already starting to become an issue with just a few bags of dry goods and a couple stacks of canning jars. I do have a storage unit for my furniture and appliances; Idk why it never occurred to me to keep my preps there. That place is locked up like Fort Knox. Makes me less of a target, too, not having a bunch of food and resources here while I'm crammed in this parking lot with a hundred other struggling folks.
    Getting things out of these tiny cabinets and into their own containers and moving the larger items out will make such a difference to smoothify my daily life! I feel like all that spray paint will add up quickly, though, so maybe I'll do the colors with construction paper for now.
    I'm excited to get those shoe boxes and get to sorting!
    Thanks so much for this info. It seems like most folks who are into this tend to be the more organized type, and this topic doesn't get as much attention as it could. For those of us who want to be organized but need some guidance, this is incredibly valuable. I'm already feeling relieved.

I have now subscribed to your channel and watched the BBC programme which was brilliant. I live in England and prepping is not greatly recognised here but hopefully being taken more serious now we are experiencing this world wide pandemic. I have had a pantry since 1984 when at that time we moved to a remote location and were snowed in all winter. My pantry has come in so useful for my family of 15 during the lack of food etc on the shelves in the shops. I have been prepping for about 2 years now and my family now see the importance of it. Thank you for such great content and look forward to working my way through your previous videos.

It's such a joke. In my own life I am kind of lazy and my stuff is not interesting, but other people's stuff is. That all went to the wayside because coming back to service the same places and people bored the crap out of me after awhile. I was also dx'd with ADHD at age 40+ which doesn't help. Lol When I hyper-focus I can accomplish an insane amount of things though. All my preps right now are chucked into some bins and in a closet until they can be broken out and fine-tuned. They were previously all over the floor in one section of my living room. The struggle is real. 😄
