Selling stuff on youtube isnt for everyone. I couldn't do it id be terrible at it. But I'm glad some content creators like Prepare Mind 101 is out there. I enjoy watching his videos. Can i afford some of the stuff he promotes, not right now. But from time to time something i need will come up and ill grab it.
Perhaps you might consider going to Vision Preparedness's bug out weekend in Dayton OH - May 16th ish - smaller channel but a good bunch of folks there (or so it seems through YT). ~6 hours from Tenn so maybe a tad far but we all should look to build and/or enhance our communities.
Bless you. You're doing the Lord's work.
Filet knives... got three filet knives within reach, where er I go😂
I'm at the river...eating good.
The number one thing everyone needs to be a prepper is “Common Sense” and guess what? It’s FREEEEE! 😂😂
It’s free but, lacking
It's sad how many people don't have any,
True. Common sense isn’t all that common.
We left most of the prepping channels because they are selling us out... Thank you MD...
Absolutely sister 🙏🏼🕊️🌹
Same
I've left most as well. I listen to who I still listen to, mostly for a little news and moral support. M.D. reminds me of one of my brothers who I don't get to see very often, so he is a must for me.
Don’t lie. We know you love Canadian prepper. Jk jk
Same here .
It’s called integrity,
and you sir have it.
Sadly the vast majority of the current population are lacking any integrity at all.
The love of money has stolen most men’s souls
Spot on 🤝
Matthew 6:24 Choices 🙏🏼🕊️
Amen
Selling your books shouldnt make you feel dirty. Theyre informative. I have all of them.
Thank you!
I agree books are so good for survival.
Makes good kindling on a cold night.@@natashalepore9435
@@MDCreekmorecough, cough..... you mean "Canadian Prepper" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@MDCreekmore amen
Your honesty is a breath of fresh air, MD.
For reals. A few years ago I went to Canadian Prepper’s store and the mark up he had on his items were ridiculous.
Dropped his channel for that.
You dont need a .2 million lumen flashlight, super expensive "Gourmet" freeze dried whole steaks, or even the latest and greatest Firestarters( admit it, you have 17 ways in your kit) 😉 stick with the basics that work, and save your back some pain and your head some confusion.
Was looking for this comment 😂😂
You know, if some info from your books helps ONE person keep their family alive, you've been of service. Thanks.
I agree it is annoying. Most of the things they offer you don't need.
Garage sales have provided me more prepping gear for literal pennies on the dollar including some food items. I could even outfit quite a few neighbor if need be
Estate sales as well as garage sales.
Everyone should have paper copies of everything they will need. I’m a book hoarder and note taker. Reminding people you have books you’ve written and suggesting them isn’t pushy at all. They’re gonna come in handy one day!
📚BOOKS MAKE GREAT GIFTS!
Indeed! Way back in 2010, MD was really active on his website/forum. He strongly suggested making 3-ring binders to organize info on paper. Some of us had multiple binders, based on subjects. I love my 3-ring binders and have a dozen or more. Paper binders/files and books are very beneficial!
The main reason I watch your videos is because I trust what you say, over the years, you built a reputation for honesty.
I have left multiple channels because of this. I know people need to make a living, but when 90% of a video is what they are selling or telling people they need to make a living is annoying.
Agreed 👍
And I suspect their content as well when all they do is steer you to their product
Integrity seems a rare thing these days.
Agreed. I want information not a salesman. Some are glorified pitchman.
I cant stand Doomer Porn. CP is one of the worst.
"Doom scrolling," guilty.
Thanks for being real. A $400 knife is the equivalent of a $70,000 truck. For looking at only haha.
Very good way to put it 🤝
And FJB son
Exactly.
I completely agree. Unfortunately, many "prepping" videos on TH-cam are noting but 15 minutes infomercials.
Well said. I’m using a 60-years old full-tang Boy Scout knife. Yeah, I would like a new one but I don’t NEED one. That money can be spent elsewhere. My garage is filled will a lifetime of old stuff. A little cleaning and it’s useable. Perfect? But it works. I have a hundred years old rip saw for firewood. Ugly bout sharpens OK. My car is 19 years old. I can’t afford power backup so I bought a huge stock of charcoal. I could list many reasons why 200 lbs of wood charcoal (reusable) is not good but it’s the best thing for my budget. Gotta do what you can afford.
It’s clear you’re a good, honest guy MD. And that’s why we trust you.
I'll always remember the picture of the guy with the bug out bag the size of a Volkswagen and the one comment referring to the Canadian prepper and his buddy the full rectum survivalist. That comment was one of the greatest. I'll never forget it.
Full rectum 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I like how all I did was laugh and THEY made it disappear. This is effing ridiculous.
🤣🤣🤣
2 of the WORST...
Your right 👍 just live simple but prepared !! I agree 💯
You are so right❤ thank you for your honesty, that's why I follow you.
Glad you said it. I tell my subs that I’m the product. Nothing else is pushed. This is a time to prep and stretch your dollar as far as possible.
Thank you, MD for being honest. It needs to be said.
You NAILED IT! Stopped watching Canadian Prepper for that reason.
My brother 👊🏼 Dammit I’m so happy you came forward and did this , my brother in Christ 🙏🏼
My footprint is slowly disappearing because of my choice not TH-cam’s choice I’ve left multiple prepping channels because they have proven exactly who they are and what they are about MATTHEW 6:24 🤔
You are a appreciated friend indeed , God bless you MD 🤝
You are honest and that is rare today.
I'm a Army Surplus girl. That stuff was meant to last.
I totally agree that most of the channels in the community are predatory in nature. 20$ a week at a dollar tree piles up canned goods fast folks.. While we are at it, you won't need to be a ninja commando to overcome rough situations. What you will need is wisdom, knowledge, patience, and every virtue we never see displayed. Thank you for being bold for others benifit.
Other than you have no recipes for squirrel stew you have solid information. Keep going brother.
The Prepared Prepper's Cookbook: amzn.to/3wnh3VP
@@MDCreekmore I have a copy on the way MD, Thanks!
My cousin made it and I wish I would have gotten the recipe.
😂😂😂😂😂❤
MD I'm so happy you are true to yourself and your viewers. That's why I love your Channel so much ❤️ I was looking at some of the MRE one month supply foods and I have everything they include in those meals already, except I could prepare the same meals for less at least 5 times for a large family. Your right, it's cheaper to go to the grocery store.
Thank you for being a real person and saying what's right instead of being a fake person and saying and doing what's wrong just to make a profit.
I dont follow many prepper channels anymore for just the reason you mentioned.....they all started out headed in the right direction and then all the sudden became scam artists and sold out to corporate America !!!..... Like you said needed prepping items and foods can be bought at a fraction of the price and serve the same purpose in the end......... thanks for all you do my friend !!!..... wish you were closer , you would make a hell of a neighbor....friend and I would love to be a member of your MAG any day !!
They aim the gullible,and it works.
ain't that the truth......and the sad part is there are a ton of them that never learn !!!
@@quercus5398
A lot of the channels get and promote items like food freeze dryers, etc but they usually are “ given “ these by the company- I can’t afford &3-4,000 for this item! I would love one but feel most can’t.
They, aren't really "given" it's payment for advertising the products actually.
You've got something that's got more value than most. You're genuine about helping people prepare. Good on you.
You are One of the Few Prepper Channel's that I consider Honest and GOD Fearing. Not a Fear mongol, just want others to be prepared. 🇺🇸🙏
Amen
Definitely 😊
Thank you- you are correct, some channels are nothing but a sales channel! Very seldom do they have prepping information.
But what you eat and eat what you buy... stay strong and buckle up...
You’re so correct. ❤
I have asked some of them a question about planting something but never heard anything back.
I’m not gullible
Lots are
Thank you for your honesty brother. 😊we totally agree with you in wyoming. Remember. Honesty IS the best policy. Stay safe and prep on😊
My wife gave me a pocket knife years ago. It was a free promo from drillco, (they make industrial drill bits and cutting tools) . For many years i carried it everyday, use it for turning out the occasional screw, digging a weed out of the garden, picking a rock out of my boot tread, many things you would've want to do with an expensive knife. Its decent qaility but if it breaks, hey it was free.
when a person speaks honestly yep they will piss some off thank you for being my favorite channel
I'm impressed again. Common sense combined with honesty My momma always said any man with those qualities was as rare as hens teeth. Keep it up. I pray those who are not aware will hear an heed
MD your books are in my prepper library glad I have them. When no internet will have to be backed up by books.
Thank you. Appreciate it.
Agreed! I stopped watching a lot of prepper channels because of the fear mongering & lies they spew. Hard to tell at first after a few videos it was clear they’re selling a product. Thank you for being a realistic prepper for the everyday man.
Yes. I tried watching CP and just couldn’t. If he truly believes half the stuff he spews, his life must be horrible and his kids must be a constant ball of anxiety.
But he seems too relaxed. Money must be good.
There's a difference in selling a good product that's actually useful. But $400 knives and trinkets for your big out bag is just a gimmick.
I don't mind anyone selling, but it's gotta be done the right way, and only a fraction of prepper selling seems to be concerned with that.
You’re a stand up and super amazing man with great GDly principles and we love you for this and what you do MD. Gd Bless you and your family. 🙏 thank you for all you do.
I have known other women with the thinking that if something costs more, especially a lot more it has to be better. The only thing you get that's better if buy something just because it costs more is a better salesman. After flipping houses for 30 years, being a mom of five sons for 28 years, taking care of my mom with Alzheimer's for 10 years, and a lifetime prepared person I've had to purchase a lot of different kinds of stuff. I have learned that if you can't get it used or on sale, never buy the cheapest. It won't hold up. Never buy the most expensive. It's not worth it. The middle grade is going to be your best deal 99% of the time. I find this little law to live by to have served me very well on anything and everything from weapons to garbage disposals to diapers. If we are ever in an shtf situation, you are going to wish you had bought a good reliable knife and more food not, less food and a fancy knife. No one is going to be comparing price tags. In my mind that kind mentality is a good bit of why we are in this mess. Keeping up with the Jones is a thing of the past. Every single cent should be considered perhaps your last. Don't ever let someone whose job it is to make money off of you to tell you what you and your family need.
100%.❤. Years ago spending a little more meant better quality. Today it just means you spent more for the same Chinese crap..
Agree completely
You have morals and a conscience. Two noble qualities that don't fit very well in todays world. One of the reasons I watch. You don't push sales. Just a helpful informative channel. Good job.
You have integrity, I appreciate that. Thank you for all you do.
I got the morakniv best knife I ever owned, well worth the money. 👍
I'm exactly the same. My entire life I've hated money. I've never been impressed by or motivated through monetary gain or menial crap. People don't understand it because I've had a successful career, land, nice home and toys. As soon as I stopped putting value into predatory behaviours the more blessings I experienced personally. I hate chasing money, talking money or feeling like I have to sell a piece of myself to gain reward. I completely understand your feeling of grimy and disgust hawking menial crap to people. To me personally it feels like a violation of trust. If you want to help, HELP.... Don't be a smiling glad hand with a hidden agenda. I think it is a Bible Belt thang.
Thank you for the video, and speaking the truth.
Thanks MD. I do plan on getting your full library of books this week At least if I can find them on Amazon. I want the paper copies to keep not digital. I will be appreciative of any advice in finding them all in one place.
I have been with you since it was a blog. No videos. Ive learned a lot. I bought a Morakniv on your recommendation. That was over 10 years ago. I still have it. It still performs well. I bought a sharpening stone to go with it. My skills are not vast but im learning everyday. I appreciate you and your channel. And all the followers. God bless you all. Time to get to work. Prep and pray. Prep and pray. ❤
people get duped, bamboozled, hoodwinked from every angle. The church, the media, people they idolize on youtube. Had to stop watching most prepper channels- nothing but imaginations, crying wolf scenarios, even doug and stacy I dont watch any more- every single time they have a video on they are pushing products and he gets more and more aggressive, even to his wife. Yeah I said it. And he has an idolatrous following. Sad people cant think for themselves.
I stopped watching them before it was cool (you remember when suddenly everyone took sides like this is middle school...) because something about BOTH of them didn't sit right with me. I know many stick around for HER stuff but personally idc how useful S's content might be - I can learn it elsewhere.
I know what you mean about idolatrous followers. There are a few (including D&S) that almost feel like a cult the way the viewers *aggressively* come down on others to defend the person, even if no one actually insulted that person. It's so bizarre. Just look at how you said, "Yeah I said it." As if bracing for someone to bite your head off for it. Speaks volumes, doesn't it :-/
I quit watching quite a few channels because of their drama click bait headlines. Then the sales pitches started…trying to make us feel like we are putting our families in danger if we don’t buy their stuff.
I will confess I have a little freeze dried food in my long term pantry, but the bulk of it is in my home canned goods, dehydrated fruits and veggies, store bought canned goods, and a freezer full of venison & chickens.
Thank you for being real!
I agree with you one hundred percent
You are 100 percent right
Gonna get worse
Thank you MD....your absolutely right... I cut back watching AP,MAGIC,PINBALL,POPLAR,CANADIAN and NEW YORK P. exactly for these reasons !!!
We’ve supported you for years simply because you understand what prepping actually is. Keep up the good, honest work that you do so well M.D.
Thank you.
Thank you MD
I relate with what he is saying. Because I have bought some items that I really wanted. And I do like to spend money. And I'd like to spend money on quality products at the same time. When you buy a high dollar item, you are so afraid to use it. Eventually, I force myself to use it. Because it does be no good sitting there. Connect what I do with my high dollar items and i've got a ton of shit. It's like what am I gonna do with 6 different backpacks or this. Many ballistic helmets ,
For example yard sales a great to find many items 🤫
Did a video last week talking about low-cost combat and sporting shotguns coming from the same mindset as what you are discussing in your video. Used guns can provide sufficient quantity and quality to include spares, Cashe weapons, and items that can be used in a 5-10 program. Most people will be doing guard duty and security patrols, which low-cost weapons can be used for.
I love my buck knives! Great video Brother MD!!! Straight truth right here! So many people buy that stuff and toss it in a corner and don't even know how to use it! Just sad
I'm a firm believer in good, quality tools that may cost more, but will last a lifetime. I might buy 2, just in case. I won't spend more than $20 for a small pocket knife, or over $40 (like cold steel, or sog, no i am not promoting them, they are an example). If it breaks, which it shouldn't, it's not very costly. I use some of this gear, daily. So I've learned what to get and what to pass on. I'm not going to destroy a $100 pocket knife, or even buy one. imo, learn a "trade" like beer production, canning, fire starting, camping (if you've never been), cooking in cast iron over a fire, or rocket stove/Dakota stove. Sharpening stones....
You’re the Best!! 💕
You Are Genuine Creek.... Thanks, That is why I watch your Videos... I learn something every time...
I very much appreciate you having a concise, especially when so many others are just out to take advantage of people. Keep up the great work you’re doing M.D..
Thanks MD for your honesty and integrity. I’m like you I’m not perfect, none of us are, but I try to be honest and treat people right. I sleep just fine at night and I’m sure you do too.
Their " FOR PROFIT ONLY". We need info for survival. Thank You M.D.
I salute you, brother!
MD you are a breath of fresh air. Do not feel dirty for selling your books. They will save lives.
I follow you because Patara mentioned you- I keep following you because you are true to who you are and your followers. I follow Patara because Pinball mentioned her and she is also true to herself and her followers. I thank God for all 3 of your channels. I have learned so much. God bless you!
You are correct MD. When it comes to knives, I buy and make knife kits. The blade comes pretty much finished ( in many cases completely finished ) I add my own wood scales ( handles ) and make my own leather sheaths. I can make a nice high quality blade with sheath for $25 to $30. I make them and give them to friends and family.
Nothing but respect for you my bro.
Thank you MD for being honest and saying this.
Thank you M.D. 👍🙏
The first vid that i have seen that says this great helpful message thank you sir!!!! AMERICA SHALL LIVE FOREVER!!!!!!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Good talk.
You are a proponent of the K.I.S.S. principle. And I appreciate that!
Totally agree MD...I would & have hit yard sales, thrift stores etc to find tools and things that I can use. Doesn't mean its bad stuff! Heck, I am a proud dumpster diver too! Ppl throw away all kinds of good tools etc. Think how much food you could buy with the savings! "Savings"...my drug of choice! Carry on with these videos & books etc! Ppl appreciate YOU MD!! 🙏
Yes. You're absolutely correct MD. Thank you for saying it. Because I've felt that way for over a year, but I still watch a few of them because I can get most of the world's conflict for the last 6 to 24 hours in one video. I eat the meat and leave the bone. Thank you for your videos MD. I appreciate them.
About two years ago, I bought knives in a set of three (different sizes) for the kitchen from Walmart. The set was $17. My main requirement for a knife was that the blade and the handle were one piece, from the same metal. This -makes them stronger and durable. Previously, I’d bought scissors with a titanium-steel blade. They were extremely sharp however, the handle was plastic. The handle broke soon after I started using it. Now I have sharp scissors that are useless.
Buy quality when you can and you’ll spend less money in the long run.
You don't do those things because you are a good man 👍❤
GET TO THE CHOPPER...
Thank you MD for keeping your channel pure your a good man
Thank you for keeping it real. I keep it real on my channel also.
Some of the channels that used to be good are now Infomercials selling stuff. I dont watch live tv because I cant stand commercials. I already have a Ad blocker for youtube I dont need the creators of the videos trying to sell me something.
I came across your channel recently, & I really appreciate your advice on gardening, prepping, etc..; your channel & sincere earnestness; you are a Good person. Honestly we may not agree on certain political views...rather not go there in general, feel that we all need to just care about each other these times are crazy, & to not be out for wealth, but to genuinely Help people out there is gold. Thank you 💓
You right md
Ive gotten a lot of good gear and even food. Sadly its because those who bought it all expired over the last 2 years.
I believe that you are a good man. Excellent observations. You have a conscious. Reminds me of a guy who had 20000 bullets and shotgun shells. Until he got evicted and was given 4 hrs to do so. He could not carry the ammo from his apartment to his truck. And when he finally did liad up his truck..the front of his puck up was starring at the sky. The frint wheels were not in contact with the road. Plenty of ammo and guns, but no money for rent. Unreal !
Thank you
You are so greatly appreciated my friend. And you are so right in what you're telling us. It is unfortunate but true. God bless you and stay strong.
Appreciate your honesty MD.
