    From someone who was not warned till 15 minutes of the fire entering the neighborhood with 110 mph wind, have your bag of needed stuff to survive for a few days, because if the disaster is large, you will not be able to buy anything for days. Ie your meds, food, pet food and water. We left our house in shirts without coats because it was warm and this was the end of Dec. One day later it was below freezing with snow and we didn't have a coat to our name. I now have a go bag for everyone in the family and have one for the dogs with their food, water, leashes and meds.

    A UV flashlight is good for tracking urine tracks. Mice and rats have very little bladder control. So wherever they go, they're constantly "going". The urine will glow under UV. That will tell you where you need to put traps

    I began prepping because when my children were young there was a period of time where we had 3 meals left in the cupboard and didn’t know where help was going to come from. Two years ago I was working a temporary assignment that I knew would end. I never wanted to run out of essentials again!

    hi guys. Another great discussion. Just wanted to comment on a couple of things. I'm a long-time prepper in New Zealand. We have a group but many of us are over retirement age now so need to enlist a few younger ones to pick up some of the heavy lifting. On a positive note - there is a lot of useful knowledge and skills amongst our membership. We (the wife and I) grow 90% of our fruit and veg along with herbs for herbal remedies, source our own firewood, have rainwater collection and filters, alternative power, comms, medical kits and a good physical library of books. So, we are ready for most events. We always joke that if we prep for the zombie apocalypse, we are pretty much ready for anything.
    A personal SHTF can come in many forms. For me and my wife it was when we both found ourselves unemployed at the same time. Fortunately, because we were prepped, we had several months of cash put aside in a safe which covered all our usual bills and because we had a good store of canned and dried foods along with what we were already growing in the gardens, we didn't have to worry about buying food, cleaning products, toilet paper etc.
    We don't have a firearms licence or guns - we do have long bows, cross bows and air rifles - BUT some of our group do have firearms licences and guns that would be available to share in a SHTF.
    Thank you for all you guys do. There is always something in your videos for me to learn.
    PS please forgive the English (correct) spelling of certain words.

Chasing it in 2021 that whole year. Didn’t matter if you had money or not. We were competing for the tools. I always was a gardener but didn’t know how important it was today just by learning from my mom and dad when I was a child. I’ve tried to keep stocking up. But my cupboard are bare. Everything I bought in 2020-2024 has been used up. I’m struggling but all my family thinks I’m krazy. The sky is falling and I’m making stone soup. Sooch and Robbi on point.

    Seriously people. Read the Book Surviving the coming economic crisis. It is not brilliant writing, but there are entertaining parts, but it gives you are real perspective of a person who has been through it. It is the most important book for preppers as it makes you think about what could really happen and the most important aspect of survival: how will the people around you act and how can you stay alive so your kids have parents and your spouse is not left alone.
    Also, I have not connection to the author or the sensible prepper. But this book is not too expensive but it is better than anything else I have read for this as it is really what happened.
    Please read it. Buy it. Borrow from the library or a friend. It is well worth the time!!!!!

    Anyone that says they will just take it from others is a criminal in my mind. Not a taker or a thief, they are a criminal and should be seen as a possible future threat. And that leads us to some amazing philosophical questions like what happens if someone knows you have stuff and thinks you should share with everyone around you? What if a single mom needs food for her baby? What if she wants to bring her other nieces and nephews back the next day? What if other families saw/heard you give that woman food and now everyone shows up and gathers to take it from you? Really difficult question to answer who and how many do you help at the cost of your own family not having enough.
    Funny you mentioned a wild fire because there was a YT prepper that did just that, he left at the last possible second from a wild fire that reached their neighborhood by the skin of their teeth and he made a comment about how others wanting what little emergency stuff he had brought with him at the town emergency centre, so they immediately called a friend that lived a bit far away and drove out to stay with them. He didn’t discuss it but he had a look on his face that showed it had scared them. I was glad they shared that story because the emergency centre was a place I thought would be safe. Now I know better that it should be used as an absolute last resort and if I did, I don’t take anything out of the back packs nor do I bring a solar generator along. I innocently thought I could bring water, food, blanket/sleeping bag, a gas can one burner cooktop in our backpacks because I have seen it can take 3 days for emergency centre to get organized enough for food to serve. Now I know it’s better to aim for a friend’s home if the road permits.
    Good video, thanks.

    You are always talking about prepping for these long term scenarios....3,6,12 months. Have you ever discussed what is going to happen to a modern home over the course of a year with no heating or cooling? All that moisture is going to have so much mold and rot the drywall will literally be falling from the ceiling making the house unhabitable. In that time frame using resource gathered water multiple people are going to get several rounds of GI/intestinal illnesses that put them completely out of action for 2-3 days. Just keeping paper products dry and clean over that time period is going to be a major challenge. Once it's known you are established with supplies to last past the 2 month mark society will have given up on anyone restoring order. You talk about bartering but you would be instantly marked as someone having resources and targeted by multiple people most likely because who are the ones you are bartering with. .others in need. I ask because your channel spends so much time talking about getting this stuff but you never discuss application or the realities or challenges likely to be faced. Why store rice and beans for a year if you'll never be around to eat it.... you're just feeding the person who will most likely be ending you. Long term survival in a SHTF world is brutal and ugly.
