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.
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.
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.
When my Dad died I went to clean out his truck. Under the driver seat I found a long black rubber hose. I pick it up and noticed a rock stuck in the end. I laughed and pulled out the rock. Rolled behind the rock were seven 100 dollar bills. Who would have known.
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.
@@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.
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.
Only two other people know where mine is besides me. (Just in case something happens.) And they will have to go on a "treasure hunt" to find the map pieces and a few things here and there bwahahaha
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.
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.
Excellent ideas. During the pandemic, we had a decoy food table in our entry way where we placed items on, under and around a card table. Like an extended pantry. Thankfully, nothing came of it. And I wanted to wear a silicone wedding band for a while, so I decided to hide my diamond ring in a candle that was in a glass jar up on a shelf. I could not find my wedding band for 2 months. So be sure to remember your hiding spots!
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.
@@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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Rusty barbed wire is brilliant for this and will send folk on their way if they find a long length of it buried at different depths and all twisted up as well as broken bottles with the metal cap still on the neck, folks don't like rusty sharp things and glass and will move on.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
A free way to make a secure buried cache is to bury an old chest freezer or refrigerator laid on its back. If the seal is intact it will be water proof. Either one holds a lot of supplies, put a 4x8 sheet of plyboard over it and put stuff on top of it or you can bury it completely and cover with dirt. I’m in the process of burying a mini fridge.
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.
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.
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!
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 ✌️🇺🇸
I use old file cabinets for storing packaged dry goods. They have solid floors & mice cant get in. Also a metal storage cabinet. Hubs bought it as Christmas gift one year because I asked for it.
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!
One great hide is a fake kitty litter box. Keep a box of dry cat food and a couple cheap cans of wet, and use one of those covered litter boxes. A bit of pudding rolled in the litter looks good enough. No one wants to dig under that for a bag or box.
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.
@@thisworldhasgonemad I believe it used to be here in some places as well so I guess if you're concerned about it then moving somewhere with smarter laws would be an option.
@oldbloke204 That is easy to say. But my whole life is here. Family, friends, work, comfort. I am smart, I have no doubt I will be able to survive. My dad is a green beret, special forces, airborne ranger. He taught me many many skills.
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.
I'm old enough to remember the fifties when there was a thing call the red alurt when everyone was building fall out shelters and then again in 1962 with the Cuban crisis so i lived thew both of that hysteria so i declare myself a veteran of the Looney world we live in.
Does your water softener salt container - have an inner seal or sealed lid like this container does? I was looking at this video's container thinking it would be good for salt storage, especially in a humid garage or shed.
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.
What do I do about a neighbor who doesn't understand boundaries? Last time I was in my basment where I had some preps, when I turned around she was there, 20 cm away from me, looking at me and asking me hey how are you doing? She came into our garden and we didn't even hear her.
WARNING ALL, ALERTING ALL > When you prep, keep it secret, because desperate times call for desperate measures, and people will do anything to survive, including relatives, friends and neighbors. Some may seek you out for food, and some may even want to pillage your goods. DON'T TRUST ANYONE !
Great video. So I am wondering if it’s possible to put long term food in the burial tubes. Could you make a video specifically on that? My house is small and it is what it is. No hiding places.
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 ....
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 have been prepping since the mid 80s I would estimate my stashed areas at 37 . i have got old enough that I have drawn maps for family so they can check them every 2-3 years .
Any suggestions for someone that lives in a one bedroom apartment? I'm concerned because the maintenance guy has seen some food items, along with other people as well. So latest comment by him is that I wasn't going to let anyone get my food. I Appreciate your sharing your information.
Totes or boxes labeled christmas decorations, leave an inch or two of garland sticking out. Label old baby clothes, photos, old business records. Cleaning rags.😮 Put in a top layer decoy of these things.
My left shoulder was se merely damaged and an orthopedic surgeon indation a need for Stat surgery, They got approval from my insuranve. But the hospital'$ new rules disallowed my admission, due to my A1C not being WNL, a hypoglucemicstate for me.

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.
Good list!
Sounds like a good 'wild' idea! 😁
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!
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.
The space under my walled off tub is a mouse factory 😮. Yuck.
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.
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.
Rusty barbed wire is brilliant for this and will send folk on their way if they find a long length of it buried at different depths and all twisted up as well as broken bottles with the metal cap still on the neck, folks don't like rusty sharp things and glass and will move on.
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.
That's where I keep my old Pamala Anderson playboys
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.
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.
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!
And you just told us your location.
@@huskerdeedee your welcome
A free way to make a secure buried cache is to bury an old chest freezer or refrigerator laid on its back. If the seal is intact it will be water proof. Either one holds a lot of supplies, put a 4x8 sheet of plyboard over it and put stuff on top of it or you can bury it completely and cover with dirt. I’m in the process of burying a mini fridge.
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.
This is one of the most practical prepping videos made thank you.
Glad it was useful! Thanks for watching Eric!
Tampon boxes. Guys will never get caught with a tampon box in his hands.😊
Plus, tampons are the best for plugging wounds.
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!
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.
Glad you had the opportunity to go on vacation. Everyone needs a mental health break from all the doom & gloom every once in a while! 🎉
I use old file cabinets for storing packaged dry goods. They have solid floors & mice cant get in. Also a metal storage cabinet. Hubs bought it as Christmas gift one year because I asked for it.
jeepers use exterior roll cages so when you roll it does not cause a lot of damage
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!
Great list ! A question please- If the pool noodle is, (I’m guessing) for flotation in a flood, why is it cut in half?
@@RosemaryN
They take space in your car and get home bag.
One great hide is a fake kitty litter box. Keep a box of dry cat food and a couple cheap cans of wet, and use one of those covered litter boxes. A bit of pudding rolled in the litter looks good enough. No one wants to dig under that for a bag or box.
Many jewelry boxes have liners that be be removed. Lay co in or other monies, and put the liner back back in.
Around here they just steal the whole jewelry box!
Good information and nice video thanks. Regards from Sydney Australia 🇦🇺
Thank you Paulie!
I live on a rock hill, no way this could work here, but I'm envious of folks who could use one.
Maybe build a raised bed for vegetables and in the bottom stash some stuff. Add dirt and plant on top?
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.
That is illegal in some states or cities here in the United States.
@@thisworldhasgonemad I believe it used to be here in some places as well so I guess if you're concerned about it then moving somewhere with smarter laws would be an option.
@oldbloke204 That is easy to say. But my whole life is here. Family, friends, work, comfort. I am smart, I have no doubt I will be able to survive. My dad is a green beret, special forces, airborne ranger. He taught me many many skills.
@@oldbloke204I was just answering a question.
Great information as usual! Thank you again.
You’re welcome Jean! Thanks for watching!
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! 🍫
Nice touch❤
Good points in this update thanks JR & stay safe.
Thank you Rodney!
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.
Or work construction and its tools for the job
Put an old looking soda/beer can and a tab or 2 under the cover dirt, they'll move on
I'm old enough to remember the fifties when there was a thing call the red alurt when everyone was building fall out shelters and then again in 1962 with the Cuban crisis so i lived thew both of that hysteria so i declare myself a veteran of the Looney world we live in.
Good Suggestions
We used to hide cash in a sealed bag in a double cat litter box.
We also used our water softener salt container to hide cash.
Does your water softener salt container - have an inner seal or sealed lid like this container does? I was looking at this video's container thinking it would be good for salt storage, especially in a humid garage or shed.
@@Dee-ty9ny I do not believe it had a sealed lid.
We used a sealed container for the money, though.
Buried in under the salt.
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.
Bury stuff.
Great ideas JR. Welcome home!!
Thank you!
I live in a trailer. Not a lot of options. I do have ideas.
Good video thank you JR✝️🇺🇸👍🏻
Thank you Ronald!
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.
What do I do about a neighbor who doesn't understand boundaries? Last time I was in my basment where I had some preps, when I turned around she was there, 20 cm away from me, looking at me and asking me hey how are you doing? She came into our garden and we didn't even hear her.
Pehaps you could do the same to her and give her a fright, she might get some understanding!
@@ezlow1065 That's actually a good idea.
I have one like that too. I don't call 911
Always good advice. Stay safe bro🙏🇺🇸🙏🇺🇸
Thank you Brandon!
Great video with great tips, thanks.
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching!
Was looking for you 2day, perfect timing. Another gr8 video JR!
Thank you!
WARNING ALL, ALERTING ALL >
When you prep, keep it secret, because desperate times call for desperate measures, and people will do anything to survive, including relatives, friends and neighbors.
Some may seek you out for food, and some may even want to pillage your goods.
DON'T TRUST ANYONE !
Yep exactly!!! They showed me who they are and I'm NOT unseeing it.
Tell them its none of their concern. That’s how we do it in Mississippi
Great video!! Hide yo stuff!!!
Thanks Zack!
Some good ideas, will have to implement some of them.🤔
Thanks for watching and commenting!
I can use these tips to hide my shopping addiction from my husband!👏🏻
Great video. So I am wondering if it’s possible to put long term food in the burial tubes. Could you make a video specifically on that? My house is small and it is what it is. No hiding places.
Jr, can freeze-dried foods be repackaged in mylar vacuum bags in serving size, if proper food safety precautions are taken?
Love the content.
Thank you!
I'd definitely recommend hiding things away from your home, including seeds if you have a homestead!
Great video. Thank you
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching and commenting!
❤ thank you
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching!
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 ....
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?
Good question. I cannot dehydrate anything in my non air-conditioned house in South Florida because of our high humidity. I'll try the fridge!
I have been prepping since the mid 80s I would estimate my stashed areas at 37 .
i have got old enough that I have drawn maps for family so they can check them every 2-3 years .
I would love to have a secret underground shelter. Next house...
Any suggestions for someone that lives in a one bedroom apartment? I'm concerned because the maintenance guy has seen some food items, along with other people as well. So latest comment by him is that I wasn't going to let anyone get my food. I Appreciate your sharing your information.
Totes or boxes labeled christmas decorations, leave an inch or two of garland sticking out. Label old baby clothes, photos, old business records. Cleaning rags.😮 Put in a top layer decoy of these things.
I would cut open the material on your box springs put a sheet of plywood in there, load it up then recover it with material glued down.
If I had a tube like that I might put a table top on it and put flower pots on it to help disguise it.
Great video.
Thank you Paul!
The one guy I can’t hide it from is the UPS man.
Tell him you are building up stores at your daughters fir her and the grandchildren
Excellent tips and rationale! This video made me think! Thanks!
I tell my daughter where I keep my cash, when i used to have it, before joe
Great job 👏
The trauma imposed on those young children can never be undone.😢
My left shoulder was se merely damaged and an orthopedic surgeon indation a need for Stat surgery,
They got approval from my insuranve. But the hospital'$ new rules disallowed my admission, due to my A1C not being WNL, a hypoglucemicstate for me.
Excellent video
Thank you!
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
Likewise. I'm starting an inventory with location clues, in the pages of an unrelated book.
Thanks for another informative video
Babe ruth!!! Love it
Just read some great ideas on here! Thanks everyone!!!!
I would use rtv sealant on the cap of that tube.
great!
I always wish I had more space, my family isnt exactly happy with me prepping!
Tell them, fine don't come around when the shelves are bare
Blessings
Thank you!
Bury stuff in a compost pile.
brilliant!
