During the Depression in California USA the local Sheriff coveted my elder friends childhood home and farm. While her father was down in Southern California on a CCC job the Sheriff raided the farm for a supposed moonshine still. The corrupt lawman raided the farm and broke all the home canned jars of food, broke all the windows in the farm house, took their firewood and left the wife and children destitute. The father did have a small cache of food hidden in the cow manure pile by the barn wrapped in canvas tarps and stored in wood crates. Her mom retrieved the cache of food and moved it into the house and hid it there. The father had stashed some cash to pay the upcoming years real estate tax. The Sheriff was expecting the tax not being paid and getting the property in a tax sale. The mother gave the cash to her brother who went in to pay the tax the week before it was due. Boy was the sheriff angry about that. Be wise in your planning.
Very true.always hide some stuff and money.
Very true.always hide some stuff and money.
Wow!
I have apartment maintenance in my place, so I pack foods in cardboard boxes and label them”office supplies, kitchen tools, books” etc.
Good idea!
Thanks I never thought of that
That's a great idea
A friend went to clean out his mom’s house when she passed. He found her stash of silver in her bathtub under dirty laundry. 😂
She must've been in bad shape to have that type of storage, bless her heart. Being a widow, I always think abou how I want my heirs to find my home when I depart for greener pastures. It's a good moivation to keep things neat and clean.
Don't tell your "friends" your prepping.
We have one friend who, likewise, preps, and we sometimes split costs with him. That way, both households are better off.
I honestly think we should. In a shtf moment I really think a tight community would live longer than a loner, as long as everyone in the community can contribute...
@cocopuff239 not all of your "friends" are as reliable as you would want them to be. Yes, you want to build community, but you also need to be able to rely on the members of that community. When the shtf, you'll find out quickly that most of the people who were your "friends" in good times will kill you for a slice of bread when grocery store shelves are empty.
@@cocopuff239
Human Nature would argue with you .😞
@@TrialAndError8713 well it won't take long for people to realize you're well fed and you're in good shape, I think it's worse to go at it alone than make friends as a certain point you'd become a target and if you are in a community ur less of a target.
My Dad had a stroke in 2019. Took me 3 years to find his stash. Share ya hiding places with a trusted person.
3 Years! That's a good lesson to the rest of us boomers. I don't have much except some heirloom jewelry.
Seems you can trust anybody. People think we are the lunatics
Better have a way to find it yourself without digging up your entire yard. Years ago my parents buried a huge amount of silver in the dirt floor sub basement before leaving on a year long trip in their RV. When they returned, they couldn’t remember exactly where they buried it. Weeks on end they were digging up different parts. Never found it. My guess is that my brother got to it while they were traveling & covered his tracks. It’s still a hot button topic at Thanksgiving no one wants to touch twenty years later.
Yikes. That sounds rough.
This reminds me of the movie Tremors where Burt has a vehicle and the license plate says “UZI 4U.” 😂
Man, i watched ol' Burt gummer, yesterday!
Burt Gummer..Not all Heroes wear capes!!
I love that movie.
Tried the Baby Ruth/Underwear suggestion. Candy bar kept disappearing and my dog is gaining weight! On another note, I believe that what will give us away is our right to remain silent...but our overall inability to do so (to quote Ron White). A secret is only a true secret if only one person knows. If two people know, then one must be deceased in order for it to remain a secret. Just a caution to keep preps on the DL. For example, if the UPS driver keeps delivering Mountain House buckets and boxes of ammo to your door, he's likely to remember. Good vid.
I hope you're kidding. You know that chocolate is extremely toxic to dogs, and can kill them?
@@bradkaral1188 Say, that may be why I'm going through 2-3 dogs a month! Jeepers, who knew?
Three men can indeed keep a secret if two of them are dead.
I’m a painter and a prepper so my trick was the old paint buckets. I clean the inside wall after I’m done with them and use them for prep stuff. Just looks like a bunch of paint buckets sitting, which the one out front are. The back ones are loaded with food, supplies, medical, water filtration, gear etc. I also have a tiny home trailer locked and wrapped in metal, with cameras and hidden gps with more hidden stuff inside. All the buckets and the tiny home can be moved and mobile very fast. I’ll be deep in the bush fast. That’s my back up plan in a quick nutshell.
Nice!
We used pvc with end caps glued in place, several metal trash cans, and a septic tank to cache items. We also have two walls, floor to ceiling, 8 foot wide, that we added shelving to inside the insulation specifically for my canning jars. The 'doors' are 4x8 paneling set to look like accent walls on piano hinges. One of them holds 240 quart jars (2 deep), the other holds a little over 500 pint jars (2 deep). They have pictures and such hung on them, as well as furniture in front of them so while they do take a bit of maneuvering to open, they are completely invisible to anyone wandering around the home. They also take up far less floor space than normal cabinetry which matters a lot in a very small home (barely over 500 sq ft). We can't have a conventional root cellar here due to a 3' water table, but we took two old chest freezers, gutted/vented/insulated them and dropped them thru holes in our kitchen floor that are almost invisible to see unless you know what you're looking for thanks to careful tile placement. This allows me to store a year's worth of fresh potatoes, onions, and carrots 'sort of' in the kitchen.
Like you, our garden is visible. What we have planned is that if something big happens, we simply won't be gardening that year. We have enough in storage to do that even if the big thing happens during the winter thru early spring. Being raised PA Dutch sort of drilled that into me.
maybe nobody knows who you are because you just told a whole lot of people where they can find your stuff.
That sounds like a good setup!
@@flane4591Lol ~ only the stuff in jars .. and that is after they get past the guineafowl, the peafowl, the geese, the roosters, the dog, and us. There is no written or digital location for what is buried. Not even my kids know where it is. If someone wants to off us for canned veggies, that is all they would get. Depending on the season, even that wouldn't be much. I posted that because for people in apartments and/or small homes it is a far more concealed storage method than under beds.
What's your address?
@@denisfinn6681Over the river and through the woods ...
I just got a wake up call. N. E. Wisconsin, I went two days without power, 80 moh winds. I have propane buddy heater. It stunk so bad. I need a wood stove. I can heat water n food on it and keep warm. I can go without power. Valuable lesson.
Look up a vesta..sterno can heater/stove
You probably did not follow the directions and burn it off outside before using the first time. All heaters have this warning.
I built a stand for my 220 watt solar panel and put it on the back of my shed where it can't be seen from the road.
Good idea!
People see some of your preps and say something, i ask them if they have ever been through a hurricane, ....down here on the Gulf coast, most people have...then...they USUALLY don't ask anymore ....
A jar of pennies is likely to generate more interest to search, especially if the area is still pinging. But a few bits of metal scrap are both uninteresting, and they explain why the area still pings.
The previous owners of my average buried machinery parts every place I've planted things here. Believe me , I've even found the kitchen sink!. Bricks, gears, nails, wire, anything you could imagine.
That was very smart to either Bury a jar of pennies or a shovel head.Or toolhead right above you're cache very smart good work good video
Thank you Dean!
So here is one recommendation that most preppers think the opposite about and that is if people already see some of your preps like a small survival kit in the car just recommend that they get one too most people if they like it will get one for there car there pretty cheap on amazon starting a $30 and most people don't care if there cheap products as long as they have something. My contractor saw my freeze dried food that I keep in a old back room and he thought it would be a good idea to buy some himself. Most people who have a larger income than you have no problem getting there own stuff and it makes them more trusting and they probably will never steal from someone that makes less then them. So you don't need to hide things all the time. Just convince people there's nothing wrong with having survival kits, First Aid Kits and Emergency Food makes since and its not really prepping in there minds if its just a couple of things to do. These things make better since to them if you talk about all the unusual weather were having and they should be a little more prepared than usual. Most people buy that excuse.
No, people don't care if you make less money than you they're coming to get your stuff. Your house will be where they come to stock up.
A huge reason to hide your preps is because of the unprepared that will "just come to your house". Good luck having a bunch of houseguests eating up all your food. Better keep stocking up.
FACTS!!!! my while idea is from the outside i look like every other house on the block. My garden/water storage is behind my shed so from the outside you cant see anything. Food storage is in the house between the garage and pantry. In a SHTF my goal is to not stick out.
Thanks for sharing!
I plant/ sow a lot of flower seeds throughout my garden so it looks like a huge flower bed
Hide your growing foods amongst your flower garden.
I put a trap door under the top of the kitchen table for items.
Fireplace has 5 secret compartments that cannot be seen or easily accessed. Many antique furniture have secret doors.
Lampshades can be used, as well as the back side of curtains.
Never hide all stash in one place. Redundancy is the key. Leaving out items on purpose as a decoy does help. Think of places they'd avoid like a diaper genie, inside a bag of dog food, under stinky laundry, behind appliances. Inside of vents, attic, shed, in paint cans, under tools, inside of a wall, within upholstered furniture.
Remember, they want to get in and out fast!! If they have to search, they'll just grab & go.
Keep cash under the insole of shoes.
look for dead spaces. Many houses have dead air spaces above cupboards that are walled up. also, box springs, faux floors in toy boxes and trunks, and my favorite, in the space under the tub.
Also behind the couch, in empty dresser drawers, in empty media cabinets. Fact: after reorganizing my kitchen cabinets, I realized that the tiny, skinny lower cabinet next to the dishwasher went WAY back, and was in fact a huge rectangle! I had just shoved a few glass items in the front of it when I moved in, and then forgotten about it. I got rid of those and now have a large storage area there.
You could use a food safe bucket in your garage and print out fake paint stickers on a normal sheet of paper/sticker paper thats full sized, to put on it so that it does look like just a normal can of paint. That way you can store food in it and it still looks like just a 5 gallon can of paint. 😊 also, think about safes under your floor or in your walls and have them hidden by rugs or pictures. ❤ thanks for the video.
You’re welcome Jenn! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Also, my neighbors think that my water collection is for my garden, i go there occasionally to get water for the garden so it looks legit and they dont think twice about it. Just tell em its cheaper to water the garden with rain water that i collected amd healthier for the plants as well rather than use tap water. 😊
You could also put the food safe bucket inside of a regular 5-gallon bucket that has held paint. it's not uncommon to have stacked buckets and no one would ever notice.
If you are going to hide your preps all over the place
Better remember where they are
And share that information with others in your family
That being said, it is wise not to keep all your eggs in one basket
Good to see your back ✌️🇺🇸
Thank you! My family and I were on vacation, and it took me a little longer than I expected to post.
It's a bit unusual to be talking about hiding stored water as here in Australia most houses have rainwater tanks and afaik new houses/units have to have a small tank by law.
Between us and our neighbours on each side we have 7 rainwater tanks with nearly 34k gallons of storage.
Vegetable gardens and fruit trees are also very common here. If I walk up the street nearly every place has a fruit/citrus tree of some kind. Properties being completely fenced is also the norm so you wouldn't know what was hiding in most backyards.
Yeah, things are a little different over here. Very few people have water storage tanks and most yards are totally decorative. We probably have more poisonous things growing in yards then edible ones. All most people care about is what they look like.
I see guys in my town driving with cars/trucks/SUVs with gas and water tanks,shovels,etc showing that they’re peppers.
Or that they are off-road rock climbing. Those rigs are set up that way, too.
In the past, I've made storage tubes out of 6" pvc and gluing fittings on the ends. One end is completely sealed, and the other end is threaded. Not as advanced as the one you feature, but it's pretty practical and can be any size you want it.
JR, love the channel but wish you would quit giving away my best hiding places, now I have to find new ones. 😮
Sorry David!
The external aerial I have made for my shortwave radio is a length of wire that I have cable tied to run up a drainpipe and comes in to the house through an existing hole drilled for a television aerial. Works like a charm, and is completely invisible. This is a lot better than a friend of mine, who has HAM, shortwave and CB aerials on his roof - his house looks like RAF Menwith Hill!
That’s a great idea! I’ll have to remember that!
Ours comes into the house similarly, but extends above the roof via a really neat weather vane. We do have other antennas but they aren't currently installed, just stored well.
That's more about giant golf balls than aerials cos they're hidden. It's across the fields from here.
Great video! I think the most important two words in the video are "survival group." In the long term, I don't think any one family can get by completely on their own without mutual aid, except in the rarest of cases.
I have a few spots that are great ideas I've used. I store hundreds of cans behind drywall and fixed the hole. Also pulled out fridge and cut drywall to use behind storage fridge. Always use multiple places.
Nice!
I live in a trailer. Not a lot of options. I do have ideas.
jeepers use exterior roll cages so when you roll it does not cause a lot of damage
Many jewelry boxes have liners that be be removed. Lay co in or other monies, and put the liner back back in.
I have prepared a quantity of selected preps for display right out in the open for easy access by thieves. This should help to motivate thieves from going to further trouble to break into my house, where they would be invited to enjoy a feast of lead and brass. THe selected preps that I have prepared specially for these marauding thieves, have been poisoned by various means , so as to discourage future visits to my property.
Ex-lax chocolate bar; more than just a teenage prank! 🍫
Watching now. Been checking every day for a new video. Glad to see you’re ok!
Thank you! My family and I went on a 4400 mile road trip and then had to take care of some things when we got back.
@@diypreppertvoh wow. Hope you had a great time.
This video is another great one. Definitely agree with sacrificial items to trick thieves into thinking they’ve found the prize.
Not seen these capsules before. Very interesting, always something new here!
@@diypreppertv We did a 3800 through the SW 15yrs ago with our 3 boys (now 33/28/26) and it was the best trip ever...we are not destination folks we like to camp and then after a couple days/stops stay at a hotel to clean up etc. the pictures from that trip are epic and everyone still brings it up...no RV just the Tahoe...Grand Canyon camping was the gem of the trip...keep doing them not sure how old your kids are, it will bring them together for sure and lot's of application of skills to be practiced as well.
We camped at Grand Canyon for a couple nights also. My best friend from college got married in Idaho, so we turned it into a family vacation. We hit NM, AZ, UT, ID, WA, MT, WY, CO, and OK. We got snowed on our first night at Grand Canyon. Lol
@@diypreppertv Our scary claim to fame... when we posted up camp at the GC rim at dusk...the boys bolted full bore down a trial (for others, there are few to zero fences at the GC). We literally grabbed T-Shirts to stop a very, very bad tumble...note Kingman AZ is a fun little town with haunted hotel and such. (we took note of pay phone numbers and tormented our youngest with ghost calls every time he stood next one, yes they still have pay phones out west.
Prepare your heart's for Jesus and your homes for earthquakes. Have a tool READY to shut off gas. Have a "get home " bag in your car. Include walking shoes and socks, first aid, pool noodles (cut in half for flooding,) flashlight and a walking stick (makes a wepon). Snack bars and water (mason jar or steel thermos). Tissue for your bathroom needs. Don't make it to heavy. You may have a long walk.
This is great information. My husband works all over. I'd love for him to have a bicycle in the back of his truck. For father's day it's a backpack for him. Thanks!
Thank you, JR. For your Survivalist News Series. Is there any way possible to do a series on water filters? The more favorable models, storage, and or different options! Portable long-range walkie talkies and radios for weather, am/fm ! Solar survival type! Your best bug out/ get home supplies , shelters, ponchos, rain coats , foot wear, and warm clothing, maybe portable perimeter alarms for a good night's sleep. And methods to keep a fire going all night , without a look out! Lone Bear!
I would love to have a secret underground shelter. Next house...
Great ideas JR. Welcome home!!
Thank you!
Good video thank you JR✝️🇺🇸👍🏻
Thank you Ronald!
Could you do a video on living in an RV on how to keep people out ?
Start building a "tornado chaser" rv . Some vinyl and and wind guages can disguise a rolling fortress in plain sight.
Great job 👏
Good Suggestions
Great video. Thank you

Was looking for you 2day, perfect timing. Another gr8 video JR!
Thank you!
Just be the “Grayman” in all aspects of life.
Including on youtube
@@greyshape4247 especially on TH-cam
Unfortunately, my husband doesn't do "grayman," so everyone around here knows us. However, nobody knows where our BOL is, and we have other options, too.
Good points in this update thanks JR & stay safe.
Thank you Rodney!
Always good advice. Stay safe bro🙏🇺🇸🙏🇺🇸

Glad it was useful! Thanks for watching Eric!
Jr, can freeze-dried foods be repackaged in mylar vacuum bags in serving size, if proper food safety precautions are taken?
Excellent video
Thank you!
great!
Some good ideas, will have to implement some of them.🤔
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Great video!! Hide yo stuff!!!
Thanks Zack!
Hi J R, I have a question kinda unrelated to this post. For years I've been drying cooked sliced meat in the fridge (it eorks so dont knock it) my question is, would it last longer than two years if put in a mylar bag with oxygen absorbers?
I was concerned that something had happened to you with a longer than normal gap between posts!
Another well-thought-out and actionable post.
Take care.
Thank you! We went on a family vacation. 4400 miles through 10 states.
Can you do a video specifically on navigation? Compasses, maps (map books and offline digital maps), extra socks, bottle w/filter, radio, flashlights and first aid kits?
Oh and how to Lee gas in gas cans to last longer! Thanks again
Babe ruth!!! Love it
JR, great vid today, brother. Being too sneaky w your stuff can go both ways…lol. You may just forget them for a long time! Ha. I’ve done that.
Yeah, I don’t even mean to “hide” things half the time. Lol
My left shoulder was se merely damaged and an orthopedic surgeon indation a need for Stat surgery,

I actually like Grape Nuts also, especially with honey and fruit mixed in.
