    Hey JR, glad to see the views have picked up. So many people do not realize that our preps are to get us through the disaster or situation until we are able to start back to producing our own food/water or things get back to "normal", where things are open and we can get back to work. Great information.

    The water in the toilet acts as a seal to keep the sewer smell from coming back into the bathroom, so I would suggest something like a deflated beachball stuck down the loo, as far around the bend as it will go and then inflated, also a good idea if there is any chance of your sewage backing up due to a blockage or the sewage system going down

      @@duanebouchard8736 It's not so much the sealing, in the UK we have a water trap that keeps the smells in the pipe. If the water is removed (normally by evaporation), the bowl has an open line to the sewer pipe and it's smells.

    People right now are focused on hurricanes but in the blizzard of 78, I fed my family, another family of four and helped out a third family. A nurse down the street gave my daughter penicillin for a strep throat. My eye doctor sheltered and fed a school bus load of teenagers for a week ( my niece was one of them)…boy am I glad that wasn’t me, although my niece said it was kind of fun. We didn’t loose power and had heat and water. Could have been much worse. It doesn’t matter what the time of year it is, disaster can always strike.

      Waiting to fill everything could be too late. Prep a minimum of two to four weeks of water and fill if possible. I have filled three cup mylar bags with purified water and taped over lapping to pieces of cardboard and slide under my couch, seven gallons total under the couch alone. I reuse all glass bottles and jars for water. I have them hidden everywhere, behind photo frames and stacks of books. I have plenty of bowls and such to fill if possible too. But don't rely on filling things if shtf, by then it may be too late.

  • @markperron851

    High suggest buying a dehumidifier. It will pull a gallon or two of water out of ambient air even on relatively dry days. You can then filter or better yet distill the water for drinking and food prep as well as cleaning purposes.

Local shortages happen if if there is nothing major going on.

    Its also SUUUUPER important to have NOAA weather radios and ways to charge your cell phones.
    One of the first things FEMA or other emergency agencies do is to try to restore cell service in the area, because thats how they communicate with each other and local/federal governments.
    And radios are important because they might have places where they are giving out food, water, or medical services and you would never know if you didnt have a radio.

    With the bucket method, get yourself a load of pencil sharpeners. If you live near a woods, get shed loads of small sticks. Not just great for a rocket stove. You can sharpen the sticks and get a surprising amount of wood shavings. This is a great addition to compost and will be great for the bucket system, as well as lighting fires. You also get a load of sticks with sharp points useful for access control, traps etc

    Dry beans can take a lot of time and fuel to cook, so here is a suggestion. Soak them for 24 hours, then heat them up to boiling, then put them in a thermos to cook for several hours. Be sure to check them and reheat if necessary. This is also a good way to cook rice. Thanks for all your information.

    If power is out for 24 hours we are going back to rural pre-electricrification times. The refrigerator-freezer contents will be processed and preserved. I do most canning on a propane fueled ring outdoors. Or on the woodstove. We know we can't duplicate electricity for modern appliances more than a few weeks. So we'll conserve what we have to stretch energy longer.

    Save all cloth and cut into a good size square or rectangle for urine tissue ( to be washed ) and just use toilet paper for bowel movement. Keep some Castile soap and mix up some wet wipes for cleaning up. All these needs to be dried to wash when things are back to normal. All cloth with bowel is trashed.
    A folding bedside commode was my choice, holds heavier weight up to 300 lbs. A bucket to triple line with contractor bags and biodegradable bags for toilet liners. Carry the full contractor bag in the bucket to dispose of the bag. I have a cemetery near me and a small creek the opposite way. I'm going to dispose of the waste in the cemetery and off graves and behind the shed.
    Diy sand, gravel filters, gravity fed silver impregnated ceramic dome with activated carbon filters, purifying tablets and pool shock for the dirty clogged creek nearby.
    I have aimed for canned food that can be eaten out of the can as the main back up. I have three years worth of daily multi vitamins and d3, I need some sorbic acid or vitamin c tablets too.

    Thanks JR. You're videos are always educational. When I started this prepping adventure I don't think I really had a target number of days, weeks or months. At this point there are so many threats facing us that I still don't know how long we should prep for. I've given up trying to guess what ills will befall us, but I feel it closing in and decided to just do whatever I can. I can't even imagine how long it might take to restore power following an EMP attack and our entire supply chain relies on it..

    • @diypreppertv
      @diypreppertv  3 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      I agree. That's why I like things like solar generators and rocket stoves so much. They're useful in short power outages, longer ones, and more mundane things like camping trips. Then, other things like water containers can hold water for when it's needed, and can do the same thing with collected and purified water during a longer-term situation.

    Amazon has a 4-slot battery charger that handles up to 18650 batteries as well as AAA, and AA. The charger is DC input with a wall transformer. I picked up one and a 40 watt solar panel and the appropriate barrel plug and now I can charge all my batteries on sunny days. I prefer removable batteries over built-in batteries simply because I can mix and match batteries and devices without worry. Regular or rechargeable batteries will work in all my devices, giving me an extra option.

    I live in the uk. It's really not difficult to grow food here. The issue is that unless you are already growing, it takes time and resources to effectively garden. To grow things like brassicas, you'll need netting to keep off birds. You'll also need enough to keep you in food until your garden becomes productive. You'll also need things to supplement. Say if you grow loads of potatoes, that will be a lot easier to eat with cans of tuna or beans as well as salt.
    You'll also need to factor in issues with your food supply, such as theft or drought.
    I am personally aiming for 6 to 12 months

    Rice and pasta are cooked with relativ little amounts of energie..
    Dried beans need a lot more time for soaking and more energie for cooking..
    Something to consider.
    For me rice, pasta and canned food.
    As salt and sugar are dirt cheap and are good for ever i stock up on these (+honey). In a longer term they make exellent items to barter.
    People are so addicted to sugar in their food and drinks ...
    I think salt is very underrated in its importance and in most peoples storage.
    No one want's to eat saltless and your body needs it. Also the ammounts of salt for conserving food/meat are pretty huge..

      Absolutely! I like to freeze water in the lock-tite cereal containers. I can then transfer several of them to my frig if the electricity goes out. When the ice water ceases being ice, we can use it to drink or cook with. When the electricity comes back on, the cereal containers are re-filled with fresh water and go back into the freezer. You can also use 2 liter soda pop plastic bottles to freeze water in.
      Hope this helps!
