Ran out of kitty litter long ago. Accident; couldn't get to a store. Tore up those throw away ad flyers we get in the mail. My two shelter cats stared at that for a while, but did use them.
Every day when I awaken, I ask the Lord to lead and guide me. We don’t know what is ahead, we need to be sensitive to what the Holy Spirit is telling us🙏
Same here especially with prep stuff I just ask what I need to work on first and try to work on myself spiritually and learn and what having faith looks like.
My wife worked at Wal-Mart for 14 years, (1995 - 2008). She was the Over-the-Counter (OTC) Supply Manager for the Pharmacy Section. During this time, when an item sold out and left the shelve empty it was called an "out". During her time with Wal-Mart the most "outs" she ever had in a day was three! Yesterday, she visited our local Wal-Mart and one of her Co-Workers still worked for Wal-Mart. After viewing the Pharmacy section she noticed several empty spots on the shelves. Her friend who is now the OTC Manager, said she had a total of 800 outs!!! My wife was in shock. The friend said they were having problems getting in supplies. So, yes, now is a good time to prepare for lean times!
Rock bay79... To me, this says it all. If anyone questions whether supplies are not getting to the stores, they need to read this comment. Thanks for providing this information.
theeggtimer tic tic There May be some truth to that, even if everyone around me seems to be oblivious, but the shipments aren’t coming in. I’ve had truck drivers confirm this as well. Don’t forget we get a lot, if not most of our items from China, but the whole World was in quarantine.
I tried talking to my adult kids about this today and my daughter said, this is America we will be fine. I said, ok, all i can do is be a mom and warn others.. People have gotten too used to our country being fine. They honestly don't believe America can collapse.
Eliza 2020 .. I'm really sorry to be brutally honest but the USA will fall hard and be destroyed in the coming Judgement by GOD .. it's as plain as that. I would also be encouraging people to get right with GOD and accept Jesus Christ as their Saviour if they haven't already done so. Nothing else will save you other than our Lord, King and Saviour Jesus Christ.
My mom just passed away this past February, I am so glad that she isn't here to see what is going on. She had NUMEROUS health issues, and because of that - I have what almost relates to a mini-doctor's office (and that is even after scaling it back some). I'm glad I have it, though. Every time I go to a store, I try to get something to add to my "mini-doctor's office" first aid kit and pharmacy or to my pantry. I have even invested in some recipe cards so that when I get truly bored out of my mind, I can have a few days of pantry cooking so I'll know what I will and won't try again in times of true hardship.
It should be understood that "prepping" *after the fact* does not mean that cleaning out all the baked beans on the STORE SHELF shelf is OK.... IT'S NOT. Some people must live from day to day...so never take the last few cans of anything. Stretch those shopping trips out so that stores have time to re-stock. Be Kind. 💖
Hi everyone ! Am here from the UK . I've started prepping too ! But am not sure what is to happen here hope you all are prepared ! We are all in this together after all ! Love and light .
You need to think - this is a small island with a very dense population. A large percentage of our food comes in from Spain and their islands. If supply chains go down it will be bedlam very very quickly.
@@TheProvidentPrepper with respect, whilst there may be a little truth in that story but I strongly suspect it's mainly just that. A story. In those times most everyone had a garden and England's climate is well suited to growing an extreme wide range of foods. Even in the sixties when I growing up my Mother used to grow and dry onions for the winter. Importing from Espana is a relatively modern phenomen. Further more, Wales is full of sheep, Scotland full of beef and were an island surrounded by (What then were) rich fishing waters. Sugar (which we dont need anyway) and Cotton were probably our biggest imports, but I am aware that clothes recycling was a big thing wartime. x
I'm very new to prepping - I live alone in an apartment that's just over 1k sq. ft. I just started buying items for what I believe is coming. I have concerns for safety, so I won't store any food in my garage, which sits under my unit. I do not want my neighbors or anyone to know that I have stored up food - you have to be careful since people come and go in apartment complexes. I'm not going to lie, this prepping has me extremely worried. I never thought I would see a day where this was something I would need to do. Wish me well!
@Just Jesse you are going to be the person wondering where your next meal is coming from. anything could happen. a grid down situation, a fire, a loss of job , anything. you need to get with the program because prices of things are gonna go up.
Just Jesse don’t come on here knocking of people that are trying to prepare. You don’t know shit fool, look up the grand solar minimum. It’s been documented for thousands and thousands of years from China. They’re aware of it.
Just Jesse how old are you? You sound pretty naive and rude. So why are you even on here commenting if that’s how you feel? Oh I see trolling! We are adults here trying to make some serious decisions here with the knowledge we have, you obviously haven’t educated yourself on what’s happening around you, please stop calling people names, grow some manners, I’m not interested in your response it will be about nothing anyway
RM CP. Other items to stock up and or consider 1 sewing kit Cleaning supplies like mops and floor cleaners like Mr.clean pinesol.etc 3 matches and lighters candles 4 very well stocked first aid kit with plenty of rubbing alcohol, hydrogen peroxide and iodine 5 pool shock. This is dehydrated bleach find recipe on y u tub make sure it is only pool shock no algecide etc 6 garbage bags, some to fit into a 5 gallon pails, for a makeshift toilet and a seat for said bucket, even a pool noodle will work, and other garbage bags to cover windows etc 7 tape like packing tape gorilla tape etc 8 laundry bar soap 9 toilet plunger the cheap red ones. Drill some 3/8holes in it then use it to wash your clothes in a bucket see y2k tub for videos on this 10 vinegar white for cleaning instead of pinesol and vinegar is good to disinfect 11 rope 12 wipes good for a sponge bath 13 several fire extinguishers 14 baking soda for health, cleaning and putting out fires and absobi g orders from your makeshift toilet 15 charcoal pulverized to size of lentils wash it then you can use it t to filter taste, odor and chemicals from your water. Or go to pet store and buy activated charcoal 16 camp stove I suggest a Coleman propane stove or similar and get an adapter hose to attach a 20lb propane tank to your stove 17 last but not least your imagination. Use it to guide you what do use now to prep meals clean etc then look for alternatives to use in a grid down scenario Hope this list helps Be safe
One thing you need to add to your list is learn to do without because no matter how well-prepared you are you're going to run out of stuff so you must learn to do without
I built a fire pit. 36 blocks for 75$. I also made a rocket stove out of bricks I had laying around my tree. Our tree needed serious trimming and we use the wood from it for cooking out.
There are so many people hunting will last 6 months at best everyone will be hunting it will be like opening day × 100,000 all animals will be gone fishing will be similar gardening will be stolen half grown
@@TheProvidentPrepper I can survive the rest of my life without society! I set up for complete self sustainability! If you would like to hear about it I will share it with you!
@@richardbellsr2345 Richard, so what happens in your completely self-sustained perfect reality when you have a not-immediately-fatal stroke and can't move for weeks or months? What then? No one, my friend, is perfectly self sufficient.
@@AnnBearForFreedom I didn't say I was immortal lol, I do have family though, completely self sustainable in respects to all the resources I need! We all die my friend but as long as I'm alive I have what I need!
This video came out just over a year ago. What is really crazy is that today over a year later this info is even more important now than ever before. I cannot tell you enough about the peace of mind having a properly stocked home gives me. Knowing what the effects that hard times can have on the moral within a family unit can do permanent damage and weaken that family forever.
Don’t discuss your preps/preparations with anyone but immediate family living with you. At this point people know they should stock up. Be kind and encouraging if they bring it up but don’t discuss your efforts except to commiserate the difficulty or recommend alternative sources you “read about online.” Too many people will knock on your door. You can’t feed the world.
Thank you. This is very helpful and I’ve passed it on to other friends that are also concerned about the dark days that we are in. May God help us prepare our hearts as well as our pantries. God bless you.
The best prep we can make and its free! Give your life to Jesus. He will then direct you in how to prepare and give you wisdom. Plus you are assured a place in eternity with him. God bless you all!
I started prepping when the government shutdown happened a while back. Those government workers did not have enough saved and had to go to the food bank or borrow money in less than two weeks. During this pandemic anyone’s job can say “ we can no longer pay you” I want to have food stored. The factories may have to stop producing food which in turn will mean empty shelves, I want to have food stored.
Yeah, I remember when that happened a year or so ago also- with the shutdown as well as this recent situation with the beginning of the COVID lockdown in that started in March of this year (regarding the beginning of the shortages). On both occasions, what many people thought would never happen did indeed actually happened. All of this is even more the reason why it is important to at least start storing up stuff for the winter and also for times or situations such as the two that I've mentioned above. Being proactive and prepared will definitely pay off in the long run.
I've noticed dollar stores seem to have the best price per lb for beans and whole wheat rice. Basic otc pharmaceuticals are good there too like anti itch cream (a must in buggy Virginia!) They also have the BEST capsican arthritis cream. I'm an ultra runner and use it all the time, the same product in walmart is like $8. Shampoo, deodorant... lots of stuff there worth getting.
@@heygetoffmylawn1572 poor prepping is way better than no prepping. Most people apparently aren't as rich as you are so dollar general and stores like that are most people's options. Stop being so negative.
All done and dusted, enough to last more than a year, two years if I rationed properly. Anyone who is a practical person would have prepped long before the pandemic. My parents grew most of our food in the garden. They survived WWI and WWII in the UK. We always had a warm fire in the winter, fresh organic foods, and clothes my mother sewed for us. My father could build or repair many items. Shoes were repaired at home, we rode bikes and went blackberrying in the summer. I am very grateful for everything they taught me, because I know I will survive and thrive under almost any circumstances. I plan to teach my little grand-daughter how to be resilient. To me, that is one of the most precious gifts we can pass on from one generation to the next.
Its is written man shall not live by bread alone, but by the word of the lord... Do not forget to read your bibles and pray that God shows us mercy...in these trying times... God will show directions to those who he has chosen..many will be called but only a few will be chosen.....
I firmly believe the Good Lord puts warnings on the hearts of believers to prepare. Just like Richard Dreyfuss and many others experienced in the movie "Close encounters of the third kind" (1977).
The first time around God supplied for his people. The second time around the people got ahead of themselves and collected all the manna they could and it was destroyed.
I had never prepped until this all started. Back in February, I told my husband that I was afraid we would face some hard times coming up. Thankfully, he was on board, and we started to rapidly buy supplies we would need to stay home for at least 6 months. We also hunt, fish, and have survival skills. (Thanks to our parents)
@@lindagem You are sweet. I don't know where you are located but my email is metalman69201@gmail.com or 1-605-941-0013 if you want to call or text me and it also works on WhatsApp. I hope to hear from you soon! :-)
My kids are adults except for one college kid. I am prepped with them all in mind. They may have to come back home, bring their kids with them, worst case. There are 5 boys with wives and gf’s, and 3 grandkids potentially. It drives me crazy to think about having enough for everyone just in case. I doubt we would get to the point they would have to do that. But that’s what’s in my mind.
Lovely! Just a tip..but of course do as u choose..but maybe be careful about telling people u are prepared in such a way...you will be a hot target for looters hun.
Share your concerns with your sons and their significant others. Ask them to join you in preparing for the eventuality of an emergency; especially those with babies on the way. There are specific needs for infants they must prepare for. If the United States experiences a second wave of covid in the fall, food and supply shortages will become real again.
Maya M.E. Oh I absolutely know that. We know we may have to defend what we own. My kids and their spouses know this crazy out of reality thing mom does. All my neighbors know is I got a greenhouse to do some extra gardening.
YT4Me57 I have. They’re not. They are week to week shopper, none of them believe things can get bad enough that we will need more than that. I have long term baby things included.
If you don't have green/fresh vegetables, put your beans or lentils in water and make sprouts from them (learn now how to, ex from youtube or cook book)
Christina E, WARNING: I can tell you from experience, make ABSOLUTELY SURE you thoroughly rinse your sprouts, no less than every 8 hours, with plenty of fresh water. I made the mistake of "misting" my lentil sprouts rather than thoroughly rinsing, and I suffered GREATLY soon after I ate said sprouts! When I say I suffered GREATLY, I mean . . . GREATLY!
God bless you for doing this...it's nice to hear some folks who are realistic about what's going on but also display empathy for your fellow man. The only way we can get through this is TOGETHER. Thank you. 💖🙌🌍
One thing I never see talked about are wake-talkies. In the event of a real calamity we can expect cell phone service to be shut down either because the towers are inoperable or just an inability to pay...or big brother shuts it down. Ham radios may be the only means of communication. If we are lucky they’ll shut down main stream media and all those ridiculous commercials.
GOOD IDEA ! We bought a pair of off-brand walkies at Walmart, with charger, for about $30. They have a short range, but good enough for our area, since we're rural. Good for hunting or scavenging for food, especially if you have to separate into groups. ALSO, another "must" is a good RADIO, with back-up "crank" & solar power. Emergency bulletins may be limited to radio broadcasts, depending on the nature of the disaster.
The correct translation is danger: Strong's H7451 - ra` = evil, distress, misery, injury, calamity. Proverbs 27:12 A prudent [man] foreseeth the *DANGER* [and] hideth himself; [but] the simple pass on, [and] are punished.
Great job explaining and giving us (me) an idea of what to stock up on. I'm on social security and EBT trust me that doesn't go far. But I am doing my best to think of things that I can get to survive. The coming months will tell whether we will get back to kinda normal or if all hell is going to break loose. I'm thinking the latter. I've never seen things happen that are happening now. I'm worried about our future.
My thanks to folks like you. I started watching Pastor Joe Fox and The Prepared Mind and several others. Be prepared for those who wouldn't listen to reason.
Thanks for this great video. I'm sending it to my 5 grown married kids. I've also got 5 grands with 2 more on the way.... I'm worried about them all. I have encouraged them to prepare but it's been hard for them and it's not their priority. :{ For Christmas this year they are all getting 50 lbs bags of rice and other food storage items. No fluff this year just prep items. I've started to pick up an extra bag of rice every time I go to Costco so that I will be ready by Christmas. I plan to put it into a storage bucket also. I hope this will help them get started and thinking more about food storage. Good luck everyone. Do what you can to keep prepping and stay safe.
We had to stay warm with no proper heat years ago. We piled everyone into the same room (our master bedroom) to sleep and reside most of the day, even our pets. Shut the door threw a towel against the door and plugged in a small heater (one of those $10 safe to touch heaters you can get at Walmart was all we had). It was our only heat for days but we survived through the freezing temps.
Add to the list of needed items is thermal underwear. At least 2 pair per person. One set for daytime and another set to go under pajamas at night. Warm socks for "sleep socks" and a knit stocking cap to keep your head warm will make a big difference when the thermostat doesn't work. Pull out the extra comforter (saved or from a thrift store) is a fairly light weight way to add extra insulation on top. Flannel sheets are another help stay warm item.
@@pookiehoney When ice storms took out our power, we did things in a similar manner. Something else we did, throughout the house, helped a bit, too. Using clothes pins and big safety pins, we hung blankets, beach towels, large bath towels (whatever we had) over all the windows. Even sheets can create more dead air space to block out some of the cold. That's what we put over the sliding patio doors. During the day, we'd uncover where the sun was shining through the windows, adding warmth & light.
@Lisa Surlie Providing I can afford the generator and only for as long as I have enough fuel/power stored to operate it. I'm miles away from a natural gas pipe line. Plus, there's no guarantee the flow from that line will flow, regardless of what happens to the line. I'd love to have a whole house, NG powered version. However, that's not to be. Generator, permanent install (I can't physically move large ones) and stored fuel are expensive, regardless of the fuel source. Upcoming propane contract for this winter is $2.19 per gallon. BTW, Using a gasoline powered generator is not an option, as I can't carry 5 gallon cans of fuel. Plus, limited shelf life must be taken into consideration. Bottom line: Regardless of the capability of a generator or its fuel source, generators are limited by the amount of fuel/power that can be stored to operate them. When the fuel runs out or is disrupted we will still "be out of power".
I loved the video! I have been thinking a lot about the period we are going through, and today to be more precise just before reading the notification for this post, I was thinking a lot about what we can do, how to be prepared, food, water ... all of that. Thank you so much for the content! my greetings here from Brazil. Let us stay with God!
I think you are right Please join us on Wednesday's corporate fast ( 1day 1meal ) breakfast, lunch or dinner, fasting & prayer for Israel, America and any other Country that wants to join us. There's power in #'s, I believe we are headed for a truly biblical famine .With the election coming up We need GOD'S HELP. GOD Bless from Christmas Valley Oregon ( PSALM 17 just a reminder for the)
Cheryl Bishop .. I'd also like to include #PrayersForLebanon .. after the horrific explosion that decimated Beirut this week.. I want to send love out to everybody .. you are not alone and to say that Jesus Christ LOVES YOU!!!
It’s just that old scout motto, “Be Prepared.” We don’t have a deep freezer but have two refrigerators that have the freezers full. Growing my own veggies. Pantry is full and overflowing into the basement. Both of us are retired and on a fixed income so money is tight, but we do what we can. A little here, a little there.
I do not have a freezer either. But, a little here and a little there adds up quickly if one is consistent. If folks like us can be prepared when all we have to do it with is Social Security, then, there is no reason anyone else can't. Some of us have learned to be frugal, and make the most of what we have. Being frugal is not 'fashionable'. Even wealthy people are going to find out the hard way, that having one's priorities in order is necessary, and that a person needs to keep learning new skills, because money will be worthless. You are totally correct about the Boy Scout's motto, sadly, it is off the radar of many people, who seem to think that the government will cover all their needs from cradle to grave.
Dehydration is a better option than a freezer ,They made jerky & salt pork , canning is okay if you can stay in one place. but in the city's that's not likely. We are starting a farm in the middle of nowhere, we are making room for as many as GOD SENDS US. IF YOU FEEL LED, COME ON. GOD BLESS FROM CHRISTMAS VALLEY OREGON
@@cherylbishop7657 I have a small dehydrator, today, it is the turn of onions. Drying them myself is so much cheaper than buying small bottles of onion flakes. And, it is so simple to do.
Carol B one helpful suggestion is to get a solar generator or regular generator in case the power goes down because you won’t want your food to spoil. They are a little bit spendy but worth investing in so your freezer food and fridge food isn’t wasted during a crisis.
@@starrynight2600 you can get combs wind and solar that are great for off grid. When we got here, with our humble little camper we bought a couple RV lots in town,with the weather out here & the farm ( will be) way out of town it seemed prudent for safety and nice for Sunday's, we had a small gold zero 1250 in GA. It does the 12v great in the camper .We did not know enough for off grid , but we're learning, we also have small gasoline generator & we just got a dual fuel generator. The biggest problem is battery banks. We believe GOD sent us here, so we will keep trusting HIM to show us what's next. Knowledge is important, We need people who have that knowledge , we are going with greenhouses and vertical & aquaponic systems .So if ya'll know anyone tell them about us. You don't have to have a skill, just be led by the HOLY SPIRIT. GOD BLESS FROM CHRISTMAS VALLEY OREGON
During the last shutdown because of COVID-19, I noticed people stand around the empty meat counters. Ask what they were waiting for and they were hoping for the store to restock. I ask if they would like help finding meat. Two said yes and followed me. These were our stops in the store for meats/protein: 1) Deli Counter for 2 lbs. each of uncut Roast Beef, Ham, Turkey 2) Canned Meats & Soups 3) Dairy aisle-Eggs, bacon, sausage, bratwurst, kielbasa, cheeses, prepackaged deli meats 4) Frozen Food aisles 5) Ethnic Food aisles/Beans/Lentils 6) Candy/Snack aisle for Nuts & Seeds We all left the store with carts full of meats & proteins for our families.
Don't forget the rice to go with the beans for a complete protein. Love your thinking outside of the box. Especially with the deli counter. Good, probably expensive, yet already prepped for canning, dehydrating and as a last resort, freezing.
That was so kind of you- and wise!! People here in the US don't always understand what protein looks like beyond meat. And don't know what a portion size of meat looks like! Don't get me wrong, I love a fat, juicy burger now and again too, but I couldn't eat like that every day. And I'm not knocking my fellow Americans, before anyone gets upset, as I agree there are always exceptions to the norm. This is something they claim to teach in school, but when they say a portion of meat is the size of a deck of cards, does that really help? Do many kids still play cards anymore? And a serving of beans looks different than a serving of steak, which looks different than a serving of shrimp, etc. My point is, a can of soup often has more than enough protein for one person, it just doesn't look like what people are used to when they think of protein. Awesome of you to help them out!
VERY SMART. I WALKED IN THE STORE AND ALL THE MEATS WERE GONE. I WAS ABOUT TO CRY. JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING WAS GONE. I THOUGHT IT WAS GONNA BE LIKE THAT FOR GOOD. BECAUSE. I WAS JUST IN THERE THE DAY BEFOR THEY WERE WELL STOCK. I HAD GOT JUST A LITTLE ITEMS. WHEN I CAME OUT. I WENT IN THE DOLLAR TREE. THE WHOLE PARKING LOT WAS FULL. AND I WAS LIKE WHATS GOING ON. THEY HAD JUST ANNOUNCE. ON THE NEWS ABOUT THE VIRUS AND SHUTTING DOWN. BUT ANYWAY. AFTER GOING IN THE STORE THE NEXT DAY. AND THEY HAD NOTHING. I WENT ACROSS THE STREET TO ANOTHER STORE. THEY HAD JUST OPEN UP. IT WAS ME AND 2 OTHER PEOPLE GOING IN. THEY WERE WELL STOCK. MEATS. TISSUE. EVERYTHING. I WAS SO HAPPY. I GOT EVERYTHING I NEEDED THAT DAY. AS SOON AS I CAME OUT THE STORE HERE COME THE MOB. THE WHOLE PARKING LOT WAS FULL. I WENT BACK IN THERE THE NEXT DAY. FOR ANOTHER CASE OF WATER. AND THEY HAD NOTHING. I COULDNT BELIEVE IT. BECAUSE THEY WERE MORE THAN STOCK.
I found your channel recently through one of your older videos on cooking without power. I ended up getting an alcohol stove which I wouldn't have thought of before watching your video. Thanks for making such informational content and not being scary about it!
This man is an amazing provider and icon! He is a rare person who is VERY attentive and sensitive to his family's needs. A real man in so many ways. I diamond these days.
@@TheProvidentPrepper I'd like to save some wrapped candy bars, chocolate chips, cookies and such. Knowing the fat content, and the consistency of a candy bar, how would I do that to preserve them for at least a year, but preferably longer?
@@trade0714 My Grandson found chocolate chips in a cupboard that had gotten pushed too far back on the highest shelf - I'm not tall. They'd accidentally been left up there for almost 8 years and were just fine, theoretically past their "best by" date by some 5 years. Some of these foods last a VERY long time, and as long as you have flour and other dry ingredients, you can make cookies and cakes to keep your family members sane.
My husband and myself back in October 2019 finished building our food storage shelves. When it was done I said ok, let’s stock up, so we did including pet food for a year. I was so glad we did because then covid hit. I had friends tell me that the could not find pet food. I honestly was shocked about this. As well as toilet paper shortages. I do not know why we felt so strong about stocking up at that time. But I am glad we did, we didn’t have any concerns about running out of supplies. But I was still shocked at what was going on and was glad we listened to our gut feeling.
Your channel popped up in my recommended list just now. I'm in the uk and I'm trying to learn as much as possible. Thanks for some ideas, you have filled in some gaps for me. Everybody I know thinks I've lost the plot and gone a bit insane with this prepping stuff. They just don't believe that anything bad is going to happen. They just roll their eyes and tell me to loosen my tin foil hat😂. I pray for the best, but prep for the worst. Good luck to everyone out there.
@d lew. I'm going in the UK too. I've always prepped a little because that was the way I was raised in the 1950s. But lately I've increased my cupboard contents because I think supply lines will be unreliable this winter. I live alone (I'm a widow) but younger family members have the same reaction, they think "it can't happen here". But I learned my mother's lessons well. She taught me about rationing and how to make a little go a long way. Those skills have got lost over the last 50 years, so thank heavens for preppers sharing their wisdom on places like TH-cam.
I am also in the UK. Most people here think things are getting better, and the government will help out. I think things are getting worse, a lot of us are in for a harsh winter. When you go to the store, buy a lite extra, even if it's only one thing at a time. Anything is better than nothing.
I have noticed the prices have gone up on almost everything. If you hit the stores at the right time of day they seem to have most things but not as wide of a choice as normal.
@@TheProvidentPrepper The biggest lesson I learned from my mother is to never waste anything. There is just so much food waste these days, if she were alive she would be grieved by it. One thing just came to mind. Dumplings! If she made too much dumpling mix, instead of putting it all in the stew, she would keep the extra back. Then she would just steam it over a pan of plain water and let it go cold. Next day for lunch she would slice it and fry it in whatever she had. Savoury might be fried in a little dripping (pork dripping is best!), sprinkle a little salt on and it's a tasty snack. For a sweet, she would fry slices in the tiniest little bit of butter and sprinkle with sugar, unless she had some leftover custard. (I think custard may mean something different in the US!). I'm guessing a lot of people would throw up their hands and call that unhealthy, but when you rationed, or hungry, you can't be picky. My parents made it to nearly 90 years old so I'm guessing it's not that unhealthy!
I store water in empty and cleaned soda bottles too. They have come in handy a few times already. Sometimes a water main breaks, and it's good to have on hand. I change the water 2 times a year when I change my smoke detector batteries - - when we change the clocks ahead \back. Stay safe and well everyone 😷😷
I use distilled water for my sinus rinses because of allergies. After I finish a gallon jug, I refill with tap water. I also store in soda bottles, juice bottles, and I have 2 water coolers you use for camping.
Filled water bottle will help to keep the fridge or freezer cold during power outage. The frozen bottles help freezers cold in a power out. Added blessing is clean water for you to drink .
I've been storing mine in cleaned out empty water bottles. I live in an apartment and plumbing emergencies with water shut-offs are common. I have several of those battery-powered push lights hung up on my walls in strategic areas in case I need to navigate at night if the power goes off.
@@denyserhodes6150 That's a great idea. I use the soap pods (easier to transport to the laundry room and they don't get wasted if the washer suddenly doesn't work). I think I can use completely cleaned out Clorox bottles with a little added soap for your idea.
Aside from food, water, medical, hygiene products... soap, shampoo, lotions, fem products, ect... and pet / farm animal feed if you have growing children they need clothing too as they grow.... even 2nd hand is good too, build up there clothing in sizes as they grow so you have some items for them for 3+ years..
....An excellent commentary,coupled with a wise statement concerning the Prophet Joseph. He was given the gift of sight and interpretation of dreams. You will do well by immulating him and by being prepared for the Great Famine that is surely coming to America.✌🤓
Corey Mack can you elaborate on the coming famine please? I heard decades ago on the 700 Club (from a lady Pat Robertson interviewed) that the US would one day have a famine but I've never heard anything since. Thanks in advance for your feedback.
The grid down cooking challenge would be right up my alley. Both of my kids were in scouts and I live in a hurricane zone (the MS Gulf Coast...as in Katrina) so I have an AMPLE supply of camp cooking appliances (stove, oven, slow cooker, skillet, fry well, etc) and the propane cylinders for them. I have recommended getting at least the 2 burner propane stove with wind guard to many people. I have always tried to keep at least some kind of "back stock" as far as groceries go. I could easily go at least 2 months without going to the store. Unfortunately, with it just being me and my four legged baby - I get lonely for human interaction and sometimes go shopping just to be able to have some kind of conversation with someone.
Great video i think a lot of people learned what shortages looked like the first time around but are doing very little to prepare for it to happen again.
There's a video by a Hispanic called (20 lessons learned from Venezuela) or something like that and he was referring a person who is in Venezuela. -One was he wished he left before the Socialist State went all Socialist and nutty. -Another was he ran out of stored food and going to the store for potting soil, etc. yearly was to expensive (learn to grow your own and store seeds for the next year) -Learn as many skills as possible from repairing your vehicle (improvising equipment for "make shift") -Go out and meet other people around you who grow foods, farm, etc that can help you and vice versa (you're "on your own" and the State just sit there enjoying the Rule of Law) -Living off the land is almost impossible for the vast majority so just "bugging out" into the woods in a worst case will leave you and your family as skeletons in the woods -Have alternate currencies (ammo, food, skills, security, silver/gold/jewelry, other nations currency/digital, TP, meds, smokes, weed, spare bed, etc.) -Water collection/purification. Take care and remember, it is we the people, not the politicians that make up the nation. They only screw things up and their "solution" is usually equal to or worse then the problem.
Been prepping for years. Have given a ton of food to food banks as it neared expiration. When I give this food away, I always say, “Thank You, Lord, that I have not had to use this food!”
Very valuable. This is why I don't just rely on cable news when there are vital, critical thinking videos like this. Thank you for sharing and stay safe!
I just discovered your videos and I am so excited to watch them all! I love that you went all of November without power, I’d love to take this challenge someday. I have a lot of canned goods that I’ve started a rotating pantry with and enough for a year of baking supplies but my next step is to start my garden this spring and put things away for a longer period of time in Mylar bags.
Awesome video , Stock up ASAP. told the wife what ever she uses on a daily basic, to have 3 months supply saved up.. october and november is going to be ROUGH.. i stop by store about every other day and get a few items.. this adds up in a month or 2.. START TODAY!!
Don't forget to fortify home security. Install steel front door security gate, alarm, weapons, etc, while you still can. The time of sorrow has begin, take care of yourself and your loved ones.
I also renewed all my family’s prescriptions repeatedly until I got several months stocked up. The timing went well with winter anyway. Along with stocking up on everything else, I don’t have to go out in cold icy windy weather!
I treasure hunt when walking dogs. Found 4 large water bottles. Traded empty bottles to buy 4 full bottles with caps. Now I have 20 gallons of clean water. IT'S A START. Also have extra big bag of dog food. Don't forget furbabies.
Regardless of the situation, we all need to stockpile in case of emergencies. Looking at CV19 and all the shelves being emptied was the perfect example of having a stockpile so we don’t have to go through not having toilet paper and all the necessary essentials. Another good source for stockpiling if the electricity goes out are battery packs for our cell phones, propane tanks and charcoals for our bbq grills. Look at the East Coast and how we recently lost power from the storm. You don’t have to buy much or spend thousands of dollars on food and essentials, just replace what you used and pick up extra. Oh, and definitely stock up on powered milk for the kids, fill up your gas containers, and always try to maintain the gas tank in your car on high just in case.
EXACTLY!!! Even before this whole Covid 19 and rioting stuff happened, you never know when something might happen (illness, job loss, etc). My mother also tried to tell us to keep the staples on hand (soup, flour, shortening, sugar, assortment of canned vegetables, etc). If your car broke down and you had to use what little money you had on hand to fix, at least you still had some food for yourself and your family. If you got sick and couldn't get to the grocery store - you still had food and cleaning supplies.
I’m from the U.K. and have just come across your channel. Excellent information folks especially in these challenging times. Thank you for your efforts. I’m certainly subscribing. 🙏🏴
hardly anyone talks about stocking up on your vices. I'm thinking Coke, Tobacco, beer, wine, chocolate. the front of of hell is NOT the time to detox. And if you manage to quit your vices between now and then, all that stuff is good for bartering.
I've always had a good supply of food on hand but after seeing the shelves emptied in our stores I've stocked up even more. I'm working on making sure I have Christmas food on hand now that I have everyday food done.
That's a good idea, I work on 'Santa's Workshop' for my little grand-daughter, as well as items for her birthdays. Even a 'big-girl' bed, musical instruments, material and sewing supplies to make her clothes, and like new thrift-store shoes collected over time. Already, with the shut-downs, children's books, toys and other items have started to be used. Our libraries are closed, but I used to buy items when they were on sale. Ten books for $1.00, and an almost new tricycle for $6.00, along with numerous high quality wooden toys that cost a fortune new, how could I go wrong? My daughter has stopped asking, "What's that for, Mom?" I am so glad I have been stashing things away! Shopping in Grandma's garage is the way to go.
@@sjordan7085 I have a almost 9 month old grand daughter as well whose birthday is in November so I"ve been stashing birthday gifts and christmas gifts for her as well. With my kids who both work, ones in University I will just give money to but in case a lock down happens I want Christmas to be normal for my family. Our libraries I think just opened up but it wouldn't surprise me at all if you have to book an app't to go.
@@paulaincanada4831 We must think alike. It is so easy to plan ahead, as well as being a frugal way to live. Libraries where I live are also closed, and will only be open for pick-up when they do open. No worries, this is a time to use one's time productively, start new hobbies, and become even more resilient. Never has the advice of my parents been so useful, I am so grateful for all they taught me. Future challenges will be a breeze thanks to their wisdom. My mother even taught me how to use herbs for healing, she knew the Latin names of plants too. I used to think every mother was like her with the ability to stretch every penny. They survived war and shortages!
@@sjordan7085 Oh I agree with you. My mother recently died at 74 but my mother in law who passed away survived the war and she was taken away by the nazi's and put to work in a work camp in her young teens. She was as frugal as the day was long. She sewed, she knit, she canned and she grew food. I took a lot of lessons from her. They survived so much with so little. It really makes me think. After listening to her stories it really makes me scared with what's going on now especially with the huge abuse of power that's going on. All I can think of is how is my family going to survive, can I put away enough to eat until next growing season. It scares the dickens out of me. Then I think about my grand baby and I have to make sure I have enough for them as well because you know I'm not going to let my family starve. It's scary right now and I'm not talking about the panedemic. Job losses, food shortages etc. We need to be ready.
@@paulaincanada4831 I totally agree with you. But, now that I have focused on being prepared, I feel a sense of peace and being able to relax. Really, all I need to do is move things around in the garage and make room for more boxes of food. I am far from rich, living on Social Security and a very tiny pension, but I have enough for my pets and myself, as well as extra to take care of my daughter and family who seem to be in denial. We are expecting a huge earthquake in the Pacific Northwest, and I am not sure how that will play out, but regardless I feel ready to hadle almost any challenge without having to worry. So, now, I can just go about my life, and refine the preps I have already made, or add to them, if I spy a good sale. Life is simple now! If anything, I hope I will outlive the food, instead of the other way around. After all my efforts it would break my heart to think of it all being tossed after I am dead and gone! Maybe, I should put labels and instructions on everything, just in case....LOL I already put things in a trunk for my little grand-daughter. Now it is time to settle down and organize photos, ready for the next generation. In case you haven't guessed I am in my early seventies. Time marches on!
Well, it's 2 full years later and I never prepped and I never ran out of food. In fact, I traveled the world and had an abundance of delicious food to eat everywhere.
We are last minute prepares. I realize now how naive we were. But like many, we really knew nothing of prepping. On top of that we’ve made huge moves nearly every 2 year across the country. But due to these times and our new awareness of the fragile state of things in this world, we’ve decided to hunker down and stay put (no moving!) And have begun to frantically and quickly study and research and try hard to catch up learning things we’ve never known or seen before. So if you see my comment here, I’d like to request you do more videos please and share info for some of us who are just learning. Like learning more about how to store. And thank you for your time and trouble!!😊
What a great channel. I have been storing dried beans and rice under my bed in 2 liter bottles for years. Now I'm going to go pull all the ones out of the recycling bin and fill with water.
@@posypoodle6034 we made that mistake and mice got into our storage. Now I save all glass and plastic containers (soda, jam, pickle jars etc) and keep wheat, beans, rice etc...anything mice will eat, in containers.
Putting a false wall in your home is one thing that will help deture thieves from taking your stock pile. Also if you live in a rural area you can stash food away from you home.
Also consider how to dispose of your food waste products. Empty cans and boxes overflowing or at the top of your trash bin can be a sign to others that you have plenty. Take care to crush these things so that your bin appears low.
Feminine napkins can be used as bandages for serious wounds as well. I stock them just for that reason alone, but eventually they could also be a nice trade item.
Please keep sharing your knowledge! My dehydrator is running 24/7! I have been bartering with my neighbor since the downturn. They mow my lawn, and I make them dinner. Use your skills to save you money! WATCHERS: these are the best preppers out there, keep watching and liking their vids!
Thank you for your wisdom. God Bless. Do not forget vitamins and nutrients. Two tablets can equal five fruits and vegetables. Four super nutrients moringa oleifera , Turkey tail mushroom, oregano extract, olive leaf extract. Do not forget : unprocessed honey, apple cider vinegar, grape seed extract, D3, calcium,magnesium,d,copper,zinc,boron and phosphorus powder, muti stain probiotic, and superior multi vitamin. I want your wonderful family to be well.
I think you need to do a solo video on the importance of a wood stove. Number one killer of winter without power is hypothermia and pneumonia. Plus a solid plan and equipment for keeping your house as cool as possible during those hottest days of the year. Fans, keeping bugs out of the house, etc...
I started doing the empty soda bottles filled with water. Also when I go to the store check out the bakery. They have emoty food grade buckets that they throw out. They will gladly give them to you.
@@rosaliamartinez8956 (1) Thoroughly clean and sanitize soda bottles before filling. (2) If filled with treated "city" water, it should last a long time, if properly stored. (3) If filled with well water or raw spring water, add a few drops of chlorine bleach -- see the Clorox website or the CDC site for treating water. (4) If treated and tightly capped, there's little risk the water will become "stagnant", as I think you mean the term. If the water tastes flat, pouring back and forth between 2 clean containers will add oxygen back into the water for a fresher taste.
I did too, unfortunately, at the end of each month we seemed to have a personal economic collapse.... therefore we have very little in the pantry now, but Lord willing we will stock enough soon.
So would everyone else, but for many it was unfashionable. Prepping is in my DNA, I have always done it since I left home, Now in my seventies, I have come to realize that there was very little of use that my parents did not teach me. But, then, my mother was a teacher and my father a 'book-worm,' so what else would one expect?
Accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior today, right now and rely on Him. He is the hope, the truth, and the WAY. Matthew 6:25-27 “Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life?” Jesus is returning for His church very very soon. This is why the world is deteriorating right before your eyes. Instead of worrying about prepping for the chaos, prep your spirit. Accept Jesus today, repent and turn from your sin and become a new creation in Him. That way when He returns for His church, you will be taken with us to Heaven and will not have to worry about stocking up to endure the coming tribulation- the most sorrow-filled time in Earth's history.
Amanda Williams Jesus wasn’t about church building churches, repenting in your heart and giving thanks is good and necessary for our hearts and souls. His Gospel is what one needs to understand and follow.
Is interesting everyone forgets how Jesus many times said he doesn't do anything that his father doesn't tell him. You need to be seeking Jehovah's approval. Jesus is the way to him. And he let the example for us to follow and be of acceptance to the father. Revelation 4:11 words of Jesus himself. The issue with churches today don't teach the truth.
Jesus said that we would have to endure tribulation, so it’s wise to be prepared to go through tribulation spiritually and physically. John 16:33 KJV 33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. When it comes to the rapture or the gathering together of born again believers with Jesus, Paul made it clear in 2 Thessalonians 2:1-4 that we would not be gathered together with Jesus until a falling away of faith happened first and the Antichrist also has to be revealed. 1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, 2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. 3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; 4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. There will be a falling away of the faith because people are going to be deceived, and the Antichrist will reign calling himself God, before believers will meet Jesus in the clouds.
The day I went to the store and the only fresh eggs left were a small bag of hard boiled ones (that I had to ask a taller person to reach from the top shelf!) is the day I told my husband, "We're getting chickens!" I've now got nine healthy hens who will be moving out to the coop this month. We had already had a decent amount of food storage, but we've really taken it to the next level in the last few months. Do what you can and it will add up! Stay safe, and God bless.
There's also a can shortage looming because of tin and metal disruptions in China. A lot of companies are ceasing production of "niche" products "Vanilla Coke" etc. So, buy as much canned goods as possible now. Regards
My boyfriend loves Vanilla Coke and yes it's been hard to find. Coca Cola put out a statement saying they will use the material for cans that they can get for their most popular flavors. It makes sense that that is what they want to try to keep on shelves.
As a pepper for last few years, even I was like "yeah, there will always be canned food - beans, soups etc," but lately I have noticed a huge drop in canned food items at the store. If canned Goya beans were 0.95 a can, now they are $1.39!!! So, yes, canned food is and will be a problem.
There isn't any food to 'can' so just like the virus, it's something to blame the lack of food on instead of being truthful about there being no food...
The following is a list of resources that can help you on your journey to preparedness. God bless all of us as we face the upcoming challenges. Please take good care of each other.

Thanks for being part of the solution!
Don't forget to stock up on pet foods/ supplies
Ran out of kitty litter long ago. Accident; couldn't get to a store.
Tore up those throw away ad flyers we get in the mail.
My two shelter cats stared at that for a while, but did use them.
Keep those pets nice and plump. They’re the last resort prep when all the foods gone. Just look at Venezuela.
Thank you...forgot about stocking up on kitty stuff. She’s so spoiled I don’t know why I focused on us & forgot to build her stockpile
Mine are going to eat the looters.
Ditto - the pets ARE my supplies!
Be a shame to eat the burglar alarm which is why i start with the fish!
Every day when I awaken, I ask the Lord to lead and guide me. We don’t know what is ahead, we need to be sensitive to what the Holy Spirit is telling us🙏
Amen!
Same here especially with prep stuff I just ask what I need to work on first and try to work on myself spiritually and learn and what having faith looks like.
How true those words really are.
I was just asking God how do I prepare for this shortage...answered prayer!!
My wife worked at Wal-Mart for 14 years, (1995 - 2008). She was the Over-the-Counter (OTC) Supply Manager for the Pharmacy Section. During this time, when an item sold out and left the shelve empty it was called an "out". During her time with Wal-Mart the most "outs" she ever had in a day was three! Yesterday, she visited our local Wal-Mart and one of her Co-Workers still worked for Wal-Mart. After viewing the Pharmacy section she noticed several empty spots on the shelves. Her friend who is now the OTC Manager, said she had a total of 800 outs!!! My wife was in shock. The friend said they were having problems getting in supplies. So, yes, now is a good time to prepare for lean times!
Rock bay79... To me, this says it all. If anyone questions whether supplies are not getting to the stores, they need to read this comment. Thanks for providing this information.
Because so many are prepping there is a run on the shops ... if everyone bought their ordinary food shop there would be plenty to go around!
My friend is a Walmart manager and she said the same. Merchandise is not coming in.
theeggtimer tic tic There May be some truth to that, even if everyone around me seems to be oblivious, but the shipments aren’t coming in. I’ve had truck drivers confirm this as well. Don’t forget we get a lot, if not most of our items from China, but the whole World was in quarantine.
@@theeggtimertictic1136 I agree, however, these are not "ordinary" times.
Never to late too start prepping. It's just allot easier when you're not fighting off zombies.
Guys! We NEED TO PREPARE NOW! This is NO JOKE! Stock up!!!
I tried talking to my adult kids about this today and my daughter said, this is America we will be fine. I said, ok, all i can do is be a mom and warn others.. People have gotten too used to our country being fine. They honestly don't believe America can collapse.
The young do not think they just relied on others
Wow so they must be blind because the USA has collapsed before our very eyes
Eliza 2020 .. I'm really sorry to be brutally honest but the USA will fall hard and be destroyed in the coming Judgement by GOD .. it's as plain as that. I would also be encouraging people to get right with GOD and accept Jesus Christ as their Saviour if they haven't already done so. Nothing else will save you other than our Lord, King and Saviour Jesus Christ.
If they read their history books, they would know that every empire has fallen, even the Romans!
@@belizeanhippi3 It's in the process of collapsing from within.
The best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago. The next best time is today.
❤❤❤
haha yes. it still shocks me how fewe people are growing thier own food.. i know many people with lots of land and not one food garden on them :O
You are correct. It took several years for our friut trees to produce good fruit.
@Sam Pupper The quote is borrowed, but I can't remember from where.
Actually most fruit trees only produce for 15 years and dont start producing until the 5 year mark
When you're laying in supplies, don't forget to have first aid products in store, too.
For so long I slacked on this. Mymedic has been a good site for me I still need a suture kit.
Karl Schubert ours is in a big red duffel bag. I need to reorganize it...
My mom just passed away this past February, I am so glad that she isn't here to see what is going on. She had NUMEROUS health issues, and because of that - I have what almost relates to a mini-doctor's office (and that is even after scaling it back some). I'm glad I have it, though. Every time I go to a store, I try to get something to add to my "mini-doctor's office" first aid kit and pharmacy or to my pantry. I have even invested in some recipe cards so that when I get truly bored out of my mind, I can have a few days of pantry cooking so I'll know what I will and won't try again in times of true hardship.
It should be understood that "prepping" *after the fact* does not mean that cleaning out all the baked beans on the STORE SHELF shelf is OK.... IT'S NOT. Some people must live from day to day...so never take the last few cans of anything. Stretch those shopping trips out so that stores have time to re-stock.
Be Kind. 💖
yes i very rarely take the last of anything and most of the time if i do if i look behind other items or in the very back.
@@Mary-zj9jz 😍
Hi everyone ! Am here from the UK .
I've started prepping too ! But am not sure what is to happen here hope you all are prepared ! We are all in this together after all ! Love and light .
God Blessed🇺🇸 you in the UK
You need to think - this is a small island with a very dense population. A large percentage of our food comes in from Spain and their islands. If supply chains go down it will be bedlam very very quickly.
@@TheProvidentPrepper with respect, whilst there may be a little truth in that story but I strongly suspect it's mainly just that. A story. In those times most everyone had a garden and England's climate is well suited to growing an extreme wide range of foods. Even in the sixties when I growing up my Mother used to grow and dry onions for the winter. Importing from Espana is a relatively modern phenomen. Further more, Wales is full of sheep, Scotland full of beef and were an island surrounded by (What then were) rich fishing waters. Sugar (which we dont need anyway) and Cotton were probably our biggest imports, but I am aware that clothes recycling was a big thing wartime. x
I'm very new to prepping - I live alone in an apartment that's just over 1k sq. ft. I just started buying items for what I believe is coming. I have concerns for safety, so I won't store any food in my garage, which sits under my unit. I do not want my neighbors or anyone to know that I have stored up food - you have to be careful since people come and go in apartment complexes. I'm not going to lie, this prepping has me extremely worried. I never thought I would see a day where this was something I would need to do. Wish me well!
@Just Jesse Seriously? Do you not see what is going on in this world? ?
@Just Jesse you are going to be the person wondering where your next meal is coming from. anything could happen. a grid down situation, a fire, a loss of job , anything. you need to get with the program because prices of things are gonna go up.
Just Jesse don’t come on here knocking of people that are trying to prepare. You don’t know shit fool, look up the grand solar minimum. It’s been documented for thousands and thousands of years from China. They’re aware of it.
Just Jesse how old are you? You sound pretty naive and rude. So why are you even on here commenting if that’s how you feel? Oh I see trolling! We are adults here trying to make some serious decisions here with the knowledge we have, you obviously haven’t educated yourself on what’s happening around you, please stop calling people names, grow some manners, I’m not interested in your response it will be about nothing anyway
RM CP. Other items to stock up and or consider
1 sewing kit
Cleaning supplies like mops and floor cleaners like Mr.clean pinesol.etc
3 matches and lighters candles
4 very well stocked first aid kit with plenty of rubbing alcohol, hydrogen peroxide and iodine
5 pool shock. This is dehydrated bleach find recipe on y u tub make sure it is only pool shock no algecide etc
6 garbage bags, some to fit into a 5 gallon pails, for a makeshift toilet and a seat for said bucket, even a pool noodle will work, and other garbage bags to cover windows etc
7 tape like packing tape gorilla tape etc
8 laundry bar soap
9 toilet plunger the cheap red ones. Drill some 3/8holes in it then use it to wash your clothes in a bucket see y2k tub for videos on this
10 vinegar white for cleaning instead of pinesol and vinegar is good to disinfect
11 rope
12 wipes good for a sponge bath
13 several fire extinguishers
14 baking soda for health, cleaning and putting out fires and absobi g orders from your makeshift toilet
15 charcoal pulverized to size of lentils wash it then you can use it t to filter taste, odor and chemicals from your water. Or go to pet store and buy activated charcoal
16 camp stove I suggest a Coleman propane stove or similar and get an adapter hose to attach a 20lb propane tank to your stove
17 last but not least your imagination. Use it to guide you what do use now to prep meals clean etc then look for alternatives to use in a grid down scenario
Hope this list helps
Be safe
One thing you need to add to your list is learn to do without because no matter how well-prepared you are you're going to run out of stuff so you must learn to do without
I built a fire pit. 36 blocks for 75$. I also made a rocket stove out of bricks I had laying around my tree. Our tree needed serious trimming and we use the wood from it for cooking out.
Teach a man to “prep”and he eats for a few months to several years; teach a man to fish, hunt, grow a garden, forage and he eats for a lifetime.
There are so many people hunting will last 6 months at best everyone will be hunting it will be like opening day × 100,000 all animals will be gone fishing will be similar gardening will be stolen half grown
Both!!
@@TheProvidentPrepper I can survive the rest of my life without society! I set up for complete self sustainability! If you would like to hear about it I will share it with you!
@@richardbellsr2345 Richard, so what happens in your completely self-sustained perfect reality when you have a not-immediately-fatal stroke and can't move for weeks or months? What then? No one, my friend, is perfectly self sufficient.
@@AnnBearForFreedom I didn't say I was immortal lol, I do have family though, completely self sustainable in respects to all the resources I need! We all die my friend but as long as I'm alive I have what I need!
This video came out just over a year ago. What is really crazy is that today over a year later this info is even more important now than ever before. I cannot tell you enough about the peace of mind having a properly stocked home gives me. Knowing what the effects that hard times can have on the moral within a family unit can do permanent damage and weaken that family forever.
Don’t discuss your preps/preparations with anyone but immediate family living with you. At this point people know they should stock up. Be kind and encouraging if they bring it up but don’t discuss your efforts except to commiserate the difficulty or recommend alternative sources you “read about online.” Too many people will knock on your door. You can’t feed the world.
Yup..keep it hush hush. As far as the people i know..im suffering 🤫

Thank you. This is very helpful and I’ve passed it on to other friends that are also concerned about the dark days that we are in. May God help us prepare our hearts as well as our pantries. God bless you.
The best prep we can make and its free! Give your life to Jesus. He will then direct you in how to prepare and give you wisdom. Plus
you are assured a place in eternity with him. God bless you all!
Amen
Now that’s something that should be in every pantry.
Amen to that!🙏
Amen!

I started prepping when the government shutdown happened a while back. Those government workers did not have enough saved and had to go to the food bank or borrow money in less than two weeks. During this pandemic anyone’s job can say “ we can no longer pay you” I want to have food stored. The factories may have to stop producing food which in turn will mean empty shelves, I want to have food stored.
Good thinking!
Yeah, I remember when that happened a year or so ago also- with the shutdown as well as this recent situation with the beginning of the COVID lockdown in that started in March of this year (regarding the beginning of the shortages). On both occasions, what many people thought would never happen did indeed actually happened. All of this is even more the reason why it is important to at least start storing up stuff for the winter and also for times or situations such as the two that I've mentioned above. Being proactive and prepared will definitely pay off in the long run.
Dollar store prepping is a great place to start for first aid, hygiene, food, etc. Matches, candles, candies, bug out bag mini supplies
Poor quality products leads to poor quality preps. You get what you pay for.
Matches,
Candles are ok.
I've noticed dollar stores seem to have the best price per lb for beans and whole wheat rice. Basic otc pharmaceuticals are good there too like anti itch cream (a must in buggy Virginia!) They also have the BEST capsican arthritis cream. I'm an ultra runner and use it all the time, the same product in walmart is like $8. Shampoo, deodorant... lots of stuff there worth getting.
@@heygetoffmylawn1572 poor prepping is way better than no prepping. Most people apparently aren't as rich as you are so dollar general and stores like that are most people's options. Stop being so negative.
if your smart dollar does have good item some is junk yes but other are good item that over overstock and good quality
I come from poor family and I am poor myself. So we know how to live with very little. Been stocking always when I see discounts or sales
Gary Cooper .. Good for you and remember every bit counts never give up keep going .. God Bless xx
All done and dusted, enough to last more than a year, two years if I rationed properly. Anyone who is a practical person would have prepped long before the pandemic. My parents grew most of our food in the garden. They survived WWI and WWII in the UK. We always had a warm fire in the winter, fresh organic foods, and clothes my mother sewed for us. My father could build or repair many items. Shoes were repaired at home, we rode bikes and went blackberrying in the summer. I am very grateful for everything they taught me, because I know I will survive and thrive under almost any circumstances. I plan to teach my little grand-daughter how to be resilient. To me, that is one of the most precious gifts we can pass on from one generation to the next.
Its is written man shall not live by bread alone, but by the word of the lord... Do not forget to read your bibles and pray that God shows us mercy...in these trying times... God will show directions to those who he has chosen..many will be called but only a few will be chosen.....

@@SuperLovetolisten Remember Noah? Now preppers are feeling how Noah really felt when he was building the Ark for 120 years.
@@darthvader5300 lol!😄 aint that the truth? Well at least we KNOW we'll be eating our food. I guess he KNEW he'd need that ark! 😄💗
I firmly believe the Good Lord puts warnings on the hearts of believers to prepare.
Just like Richard Dreyfuss and many others experienced in the movie "Close encounters of the third kind" (1977).
The first time around God supplied for his people. The second time around the people got ahead of themselves and collected all the manna they could and it was destroyed.
He does perhaps but I think this time the Holy Spirit is warning us that the end of the age is approaching and He is returning for his bride soon.
Being prepared, is just common sense, nothing more, and nothing less!
I had never prepped until this all started. Back in February, I told my husband that I was afraid we would face some hard times coming up. Thankfully, he was on board, and we started to rapidly buy supplies we would need to stay home for at least 6 months. We also hunt, fish, and have survival skills. (Thanks to our parents)
You are very wise and you have a good husband!! I am looking for a good prepper minded woman. Where are you honey?

Thank you for all your family has done. I have been extremely Blessed by your hard work. As always. Praying for you and yours
My kids are adults except for one college kid. I am prepped with them all in mind. They may have to come back home, bring their kids with them, worst case. There are 5 boys with wives and gf’s, and 3 grandkids potentially. It drives me crazy to think about having enough for everyone just in case. I doubt we would get to the point they would have to do that. But that’s what’s in my mind.
Consideration for others shows your love for them. Blessings on you and your endeavor. 👍🙏🙏
Lovely! Just a tip..but of course do as u choose..but maybe be careful about telling people u are prepared in such a way...you will be a hot target for looters hun.
Share your concerns with your sons and their significant others. Ask them to join you in preparing for the eventuality of an emergency; especially those with babies on the way. There are specific needs for infants they must prepare for. If the United States experiences a second wave of covid in the fall, food and supply shortages will become real again.
Maya M.E. Oh I absolutely know that. We know we may have to defend what we own. My kids and their spouses know this crazy out of reality thing mom does. All my neighbors know is I got a greenhouse to do some extra gardening.
YT4Me57 I have. They’re not. They are week to week shopper, none of them believe things can get bad enough that we will need more than that. I have long term baby things included.
If you don't have green/fresh vegetables, put your beans or lentils in water and make sprouts from them (learn now how to, ex from youtube or cook book)
Christina E, WARNING: I can tell you from experience, make ABSOLUTELY SURE you thoroughly rinse your sprouts, no less than every 8 hours, with plenty of fresh water.
I made the mistake of "misting" my lentil sprouts rather than thoroughly rinsing, and I suffered GREATLY soon after I ate said sprouts! When I say I suffered GREATLY, I mean . . . GREATLY!
Such a good idea, so good for us too!
God Bless You All From The Gulf Coast Of Alabama. Get Prepared Everyone. 🙏🙏
Yaaay... Sweet Home Alabama!
God bless you for doing this...it's nice to hear some folks who are realistic about what's going on but also display empathy for your fellow man. The only way we can get through this is TOGETHER. Thank you. 💖🙌🌍
One thing I never see talked about are wake-talkies. In the event of a real calamity we can expect cell phone service to be shut down either because the towers are inoperable or just an inability to pay...or big brother shuts it down. Ham radios may be the only means of communication. If we are lucky they’ll shut down main stream media and all those ridiculous commercials.
GOOD IDEA ! We bought a pair of off-brand walkies at Walmart, with charger, for about $30. They have a short range, but good enough for our area, since we're rural. Good for hunting or scavenging for food, especially if you have to separate into groups. ALSO, another "must" is a good RADIO, with back-up "crank" & solar power. Emergency bulletins may be limited to radio broadcasts, depending on the nature of the disaster.
Just bought some on Amazon. Nothing fancy. My theory of use is to defend a neighborhood from riots.
These are great. So is CB radios
Wade Rivers…which ridiculous commercials are you speaking about? I think I know your answer, but I just want you to tell me. Honest question, btw.
govtom4 All of them, they are brain drains.
...And again I say to make sure to stock up on manual can/bottle openers.
Proverbs 27:12
“A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself; but the simple pass on, and are punished.”
King James Version (KJV)
You from SA?
Ahh, the Wisdom of Scripture. Thank you.
Praise the Lord for His infallible Word! Thank you for sharing this scripture. God bless
The correct translation is danger:
Strong's H7451 - ra` = evil, distress, misery, injury, calamity.
Proverbs
27:12 A prudent [man] foreseeth the *DANGER* [and] hideth himself; [but] the simple pass on, [and] are punished.
People are losing their minds already. Better get ready it's about to go down
Great job explaining and giving us (me) an idea of what to stock up on. I'm on social security and EBT trust me that doesn't go far. But I am doing my best to think of things that I can get to survive. The coming months will tell whether we will get back to kinda normal or if all hell is going to break loose. I'm thinking the latter. I've never seen things happen that are happening now. I'm worried about our future.
My thanks to folks like you. I started watching Pastor Joe Fox and The Prepared Mind and several others. Be prepared for those who wouldn't listen to reason.
Please remember otc meds, medical supplies and rx meds. Also your pets. Extra cleaners, water, seasonings, and sugar.
Thanks for this great video. I'm sending it to my 5 grown married kids. I've also got 5 grands with 2 more on the way.... I'm worried about them all. I have encouraged them to prepare but it's been hard for them and it's not their priority. :{ For Christmas this year they are all getting 50 lbs bags of rice and other food storage items. No fluff this year just prep items. I've started to pick up an extra bag of rice every time I go to Costco so that I will be ready by Christmas. I plan to put it into a storage bucket also. I hope this will help them get started and thinking more about food storage. Good luck everyone. Do what you can to keep prepping and stay safe.
If you have access to off grid electrical power, an electric blanket uses a lot less power than a space heater, and will keep you warmer at night.
We had to stay warm with no proper heat years ago. We piled everyone into the same room (our master bedroom) to sleep and reside most of the day, even our pets. Shut the door threw a towel against the door and plugged in a small heater (one of those $10 safe to touch heaters you can get at Walmart was all we had). It was our only heat for days but we survived through the freezing temps.
pookiehoney ❤️ I know that feeling.
Add to the list of needed items is thermal underwear. At least 2 pair per person. One set for daytime and another set to go under pajamas at night. Warm socks for "sleep socks" and a knit stocking cap to keep your head warm will make a big difference when the thermostat doesn't work. Pull out the extra comforter (saved or from a thrift store) is a fairly light weight way to add extra insulation on top. Flannel sheets are another help stay warm item.
@@pookiehoney When ice storms took out our power, we did things in a similar manner. Something else we did, throughout the house, helped a bit, too. Using clothes pins and big safety pins, we hung blankets, beach towels, large bath towels (whatever we had) over all the windows. Even sheets can create more dead air space to block out some of the cold. That's what we put over the sliding patio doors. During the day, we'd uncover where the sun was shining through the windows, adding warmth & light.
@Lisa Surlie Providing I can afford the generator and only for as long as I have enough fuel/power stored to operate it. I'm miles away from a natural gas pipe line. Plus, there's no guarantee the flow from that line will flow, regardless of what happens to the line.
I'd love to have a whole house, NG powered version. However, that's not to be. Generator, permanent install (I can't physically move large ones) and stored fuel are expensive, regardless of the fuel source. Upcoming propane contract for this winter is $2.19 per gallon.
BTW, Using a gasoline powered generator is not an option, as I can't carry 5 gallon cans of fuel. Plus, limited shelf life must be taken into consideration.
Bottom line: Regardless of the capability of a generator or its fuel source, generators are limited by the amount of fuel/power that can be stored to operate them. When the fuel runs out or is disrupted we will still "be out of power".
I loved the video! I have been thinking a lot about the period we are going through, and today to be more precise just before reading the notification for this post, I was thinking a lot about what we can do, how to be prepared, food, water ... all of that.

It’s just that old scout motto, “Be Prepared.” We don’t have a deep freezer but have two refrigerators that have the freezers full. Growing my own veggies. Pantry is full and overflowing into the basement. Both of us are retired and on a fixed income so money is tight, but we do what we can. A little here, a little there.
I do not have a freezer either. But, a little here and a little there adds up quickly if one is consistent. If folks like us can be prepared when all we have to do it with is Social Security, then, there is no reason anyone else can't. Some of us have learned to be frugal, and make the most of what we have. Being frugal is not 'fashionable'. Even wealthy people are going to find out the hard way, that having one's priorities in order is necessary, and that a person needs to keep learning new skills, because money will be worthless. You are totally correct about the Boy Scout's motto, sadly, it is off the radar of many people, who seem to think that the government will cover all their needs from cradle to grave.
Dehydration is a better option than a freezer ,They made jerky & salt pork , canning is okay if you can stay in one place. but in the city's that's not likely. We are starting a farm in the middle of nowhere, we are making room for as many as GOD SENDS US. IF YOU FEEL LED, COME ON. GOD BLESS FROM CHRISTMAS VALLEY OREGON
@@cherylbishop7657 I have a small dehydrator, today, it is the turn of onions. Drying them myself is so much cheaper than buying small bottles of onion flakes. And, it is so simple to do.
Carol B one helpful suggestion is to get a solar generator or regular generator in case the power goes down because you won’t want your food to spoil. They are a little bit spendy but worth investing in so your freezer food and fridge food isn’t wasted during a crisis.
@@starrynight2600 you can get combs wind and solar that are great for off grid. When we got here, with our humble little camper we bought a couple RV lots in town,with the weather out here & the farm ( will be) way out of town it seemed prudent for safety and nice for Sunday's, we had a small gold zero 1250 in GA. It does the 12v great in the camper .We did not know enough for off grid , but we're learning, we also have small gasoline generator & we just got a dual fuel generator. The biggest problem is battery banks. We believe GOD sent us here, so we will keep trusting HIM to show us what's next. Knowledge is important, We need people who have that knowledge , we are going with greenhouses and vertical & aquaponic systems .So if ya'll know anyone tell them about us. You don't have to have a skill, just be led by the HOLY SPIRIT. GOD BLESS FROM CHRISTMAS VALLEY OREGON

ED 209 NEWS FLASH... HELL IS REAL.... SEEMS LIKE YOU WILL FIND OUT IF YOU DONT CHANGE YOUR LIFE... I PRAY IT WONT BE TOO LATE FOR YOU 🤷🏽♀️
During the last shutdown because of COVID-19, I noticed people stand around the empty meat counters. Ask what they were waiting for and they were hoping for the store to restock. I ask if they would like help finding meat. Two said yes and followed me.
These were our stops in the store for meats/protein:
1) Deli Counter for 2 lbs. each of uncut Roast Beef, Ham, Turkey
2) Canned Meats & Soups
3) Dairy aisle-Eggs, bacon, sausage, bratwurst, kielbasa, cheeses, prepackaged deli meats
4) Frozen Food aisles
5) Ethnic Food aisles/Beans/Lentils
6) Candy/Snack aisle for Nuts & Seeds
We all left the store with carts full of meats & proteins for our families.
Don't forget the rice to go with the beans for a complete protein.
Love your thinking outside of the box. Especially with the deli counter. Good, probably expensive, yet already prepped for canning, dehydrating and as a last resort, freezing.
You are a true American offering your help to your neighbors
That was so kind of you- and wise!! People here in the US don't always understand what protein looks like beyond meat. And don't know what a portion size of meat looks like! Don't get me wrong, I love a fat, juicy burger now and again too, but I couldn't eat like that every day. And I'm not knocking my fellow Americans, before anyone gets upset, as I agree there are always exceptions to the norm. This is something they claim to teach in school, but when they say a portion of meat is the size of a deck of cards, does that really help? Do many kids still play cards anymore? And a serving of beans looks different than a serving of steak, which looks different than a serving of shrimp, etc. My point is, a can of soup often has more than enough protein for one person, it just doesn't look like what people are used to when they think of protein. Awesome of you to help them out!
That was so nice of you to show them how to think outside the box!
VERY SMART. I WALKED IN THE STORE AND ALL THE MEATS WERE GONE. I WAS ABOUT TO CRY. JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING WAS GONE. I THOUGHT IT WAS GONNA BE LIKE THAT FOR GOOD. BECAUSE. I WAS JUST IN THERE THE DAY BEFOR THEY WERE WELL STOCK. I HAD GOT JUST A LITTLE ITEMS. WHEN I CAME OUT. I WENT IN THE DOLLAR TREE. THE WHOLE PARKING LOT WAS FULL. AND I WAS LIKE WHATS GOING ON. THEY HAD JUST ANNOUNCE. ON THE NEWS ABOUT THE VIRUS AND SHUTTING DOWN. BUT ANYWAY. AFTER GOING IN THE STORE THE NEXT DAY. AND THEY HAD NOTHING. I WENT ACROSS THE STREET TO ANOTHER STORE. THEY HAD JUST OPEN UP. IT WAS ME AND 2 OTHER PEOPLE GOING IN. THEY WERE WELL STOCK. MEATS. TISSUE. EVERYTHING. I WAS SO HAPPY. I GOT EVERYTHING I NEEDED THAT DAY. AS SOON AS I CAME OUT THE STORE HERE COME THE MOB. THE WHOLE PARKING LOT WAS FULL. I WENT BACK IN THERE THE NEXT DAY. FOR ANOTHER CASE OF WATER. AND THEY HAD NOTHING. I COULDNT BELIEVE IT. BECAUSE THEY WERE MORE THAN STOCK.
I found your channel recently through one of your older videos on cooking without power. I ended up getting an alcohol stove which I wouldn't have thought of before watching your video. Thanks for making such informational content and not being scary about it!
Wife and daughters? Better have chocolate stocked up. Now that's what I call relationship goals.

Agreed. I want a case of chocolate chips.
@@TheProvidentPrepper I'd like to save some wrapped candy bars, chocolate chips, cookies and such. Knowing the fat content, and the consistency of a candy bar, how would I do that to preserve them for at least a year, but preferably longer?
@@trade0714 My Grandson found chocolate chips in a cupboard that had gotten pushed too far back on the highest shelf - I'm not tall. They'd accidentally been left up there for almost 8 years and were just fine, theoretically past their "best by" date by some 5 years. Some of these foods last a VERY long time, and as long as you have flour and other dry ingredients, you can make cookies and cakes to keep your family members sane.
Don’t forget about our pets😉 I have at least three months of food supply for my cat and small bread dog.
Good plan. Fatten them up in case the shortage lasts too long
@@billp4 Sick puppy
My husband and myself back in October 2019 finished building our food storage shelves. When it was done I said ok, let’s stock up, so we did including pet food for a year. I was so glad we did because then covid hit. I had friends tell me that the could not find pet food. I honestly was shocked about this. As well as toilet paper shortages. I do not know why we felt so strong about stocking up at that time. But I am glad we did, we didn’t have any concerns about running out of supplies. But I was still shocked at what was going on and was glad we listened to our gut feeling.
Your channel popped up in my recommended list just now. I'm in the uk and I'm trying to learn as much as possible. Thanks for some ideas, you have filled in some gaps for me. Everybody I know thinks I've lost the plot and gone a bit insane with this prepping stuff. They just don't believe that anything bad is going to happen. They just roll their eyes and tell me to loosen my tin foil hat😂. I pray for the best, but prep for the worst.
Good luck to everyone out there.
@d lew. I'm going in the UK too. I've always prepped a little because that was the way I was raised in the 1950s. But lately I've increased my cupboard contents because I think supply lines will be unreliable this winter. I live alone (I'm a widow) but younger family members have the same reaction, they think "it can't happen here". But I learned my mother's lessons well. She taught me about rationing and how to make a little go a long way. Those skills have got lost over the last 50 years, so thank heavens for preppers sharing their wisdom on places like TH-cam.
I am also in the UK. Most people here think things are getting better, and the government will help out. I think things are getting worse, a lot of us are in for a harsh winter. When you go to the store, buy a lite extra, even if it's only one thing at a time. Anything is better than nothing.
I have noticed the prices have gone up on almost everything. If you hit the stores at the right time of day they seem to have most things but not as wide of a choice as normal.
@@TheProvidentPrepper The biggest lesson I learned from my mother is to never waste anything. There is just so much food waste these days, if she were alive she would be grieved by it. One thing just came to mind. Dumplings! If she made too much dumpling mix, instead of putting it all in the stew, she would keep the extra back. Then she would just steam it over a pan of plain water and let it go cold. Next day for lunch she would slice it and fry it in whatever she had. Savoury might be fried in a little dripping (pork dripping is best!), sprinkle a little salt on and it's a tasty snack. For a sweet, she would fry slices in the tiniest little bit of butter and sprinkle with sugar, unless she had some leftover custard. (I think custard may mean something different in the US!). I'm guessing a lot of people would throw up their hands and call that unhealthy, but when you rationed, or hungry, you can't be picky. My parents made it to nearly 90 years old so I'm guessing it's not that unhealthy!
@@dlew3624 That's what I see in my area as well btw I'm in Texas.
You two are very nice ppl. Thanks for caring and sharing.
I store water in empty and cleaned soda bottles too. They have come in handy a few times already. Sometimes a water main breaks, and it's good to have on hand. I change the water 2 times a year when I change my smoke detector batteries - - when we change the clocks ahead \back. Stay safe and well everyone 😷😷
I use distilled water for my sinus rinses because of allergies. After I finish a gallon jug, I refill with tap water. I also store in soda bottles, juice bottles, and I have 2 water coolers you use for camping.
Filled water bottle will help to keep the fridge or freezer cold during power outage. The frozen bottles help freezers cold in a power out.
Added blessing is clean water for you to drink .
I've been storing mine in cleaned out empty water bottles. I live in an apartment and plumbing emergencies with water shut-offs are common. I have several of those battery-powered push lights hung up on my walls in strategic areas in case I need to navigate at night if the power goes off.
We save the laundry detergent bottles for handwashing items, toliet water, cleaning us a mess etc
@@denyserhodes6150 That's a great idea. I use the soap pods (easier to transport to the laundry room and they don't get wasted if the washer suddenly doesn't work). I think I can use completely cleaned out Clorox bottles with a little added soap for your idea.
I have been preparing for.12 years it's becoming more important now more than ever to prepare for the uncertainties learn practical herbalism
Aside from food, water, medical, hygiene products... soap, shampoo, lotions, fem products, ect... and pet / farm animal feed if you have growing children they need clothing too as they grow.... even 2nd hand is good too, build up there clothing in sizes as they grow so you have some items for them for 3+ years..
I'm a thin adult but still get shirts M-L sizes. 🙃
remember Joseph? he saw the coming famine and made preparerations....the Lord told me to be like Joseph !!!
Lmao
Amen this is true and God is warning his servants
Spot on. Never thought we'd see the day we'd need to abide by these verses. In our day. In our country.
....An excellent commentary,coupled with a wise statement concerning the Prophet Joseph. He was given the gift of sight and interpretation of dreams. You will do well by immulating him and by being prepared for the Great Famine that is surely coming to America.✌🤓
Corey Mack can you elaborate on the coming famine please? I heard decades ago on the 700 Club (from a lady Pat Robertson interviewed) that the US would one day have a famine but I've never heard anything since. Thanks in advance for your feedback.
The grid down cooking challenge would be right up my alley. Both of my kids were in scouts and I live in a hurricane zone (the MS Gulf Coast...as in Katrina) so I have an AMPLE supply of camp cooking appliances (stove, oven, slow cooker, skillet, fry well, etc) and the propane cylinders for them. I have recommended getting at least the 2 burner propane stove with wind guard to many people. I have always tried to keep at least some kind of "back stock" as far as groceries go. I could easily go at least 2 months without going to the store. Unfortunately, with it just being me and my four legged baby - I get lonely for human interaction and sometimes go shopping just to be able to have some kind of conversation with someone.
Great video i think a lot of people learned what shortages looked like the first time around but are doing very little to prepare for it to happen again.
There's a video by a Hispanic called (20 lessons learned from Venezuela) or something like that and he was referring a person who is in Venezuela.
-One was he wished he left before the Socialist State went all Socialist and nutty.
-Another was he ran out of stored food and going to the store for potting soil, etc. yearly was to expensive (learn to grow your own and store seeds for the next year)
-Learn as many skills as possible from repairing your vehicle (improvising equipment for "make shift")
-Go out and meet other people around you who grow foods, farm, etc that can help you and vice versa (you're "on your own" and the State just sit there enjoying the Rule of Law)
-Living off the land is almost impossible for the vast majority so just "bugging out" into the woods in a worst case will leave you and your family as skeletons in the woods
-Have alternate currencies (ammo, food, skills, security, silver/gold/jewelry, other nations currency/digital, TP, meds, smokes, weed, spare bed, etc.)
-Water collection/purification.
Take care and remember, it is we the people, not the politicians that make up the nation. They only screw things up and their "solution" is usually equal to or worse then the problem.
That's not socialism... that's FASCISM ... under a brutal dictatorship.
Been prepping for years. Have given a ton of food to food banks as it neared expiration. When I give this food away, I always say, “Thank You, Lord, that I have not had to use this food!”
Very valuable. This is why I don't just rely on cable news when there are vital, critical thinking videos like this. Thank you for sharing and stay safe!
I just discovered your videos and I am so excited to watch them all! I love that you went all of November without power, I’d love to take this challenge someday. I have a lot of canned goods that I’ve started a rotating pantry with and enough for a year of baking supplies but my next step is to start my garden this spring and put things away for a longer period of time in Mylar bags.
And...cleaning soap like pinesol, Mr clean etc. And a few mops
Awesome video , Stock up ASAP. told the wife what ever she uses on a daily basic, to have 3 months supply saved up.. october and november is going to be ROUGH.. i stop by store about every other day and get a few items.. this adds up in a month or 2.. START TODAY!!
Don't forget to fortify home security. Install steel front door security gate, alarm, weapons, etc, while you still can. The time of sorrow has begin, take care of yourself and your loved ones.

I also renewed all my family’s prescriptions repeatedly until I got several months stocked up. The timing went well with winter anyway. Along with stocking up on everything else, I don’t have to go out in cold icy windy weather!
I treasure hunt when walking dogs. Found 4 large water bottles. Traded empty bottles to buy 4 full bottles with caps. Now I have 20 gallons of clean water. IT'S A START.
Also have extra big bag of dog food. Don't forget furbabies.
Dog food does go rancid. Best rotate the dog food.
Just remember, water doesn't keep any better than milk. If you're going to store then refresh regularly.
@Karl Schubert Viktor Shuberger. Masuro Emoto both will tell you differently.
Thank y’all for sharing!! I needed this... ❤️❤️❤️🙏🏾
Regardless of the situation, we all need to stockpile in case of emergencies. Looking at CV19 and all the shelves being emptied was the perfect example of having a stockpile so we don’t have to go through not having toilet paper and all the necessary essentials. Another good source for stockpiling if the electricity goes out are battery packs for our cell phones, propane tanks and charcoals for our bbq grills. Look at the East Coast and how we recently lost power from the storm. You don’t have to buy much or spend thousands of dollars on food and essentials, just replace what you used and pick up extra. Oh, and definitely stock up on powered milk for the kids, fill up your gas containers, and always try to maintain the gas tank in your car on high just in case.
EXACTLY!!! Even before this whole Covid 19 and rioting stuff happened, you never know when something might happen (illness, job loss, etc). My mother also tried to tell us to keep the staples on hand (soup, flour, shortening, sugar, assortment of canned vegetables, etc). If your car broke down and you had to use what little money you had on hand to fix, at least you still had some food for yourself and your family. If you got sick and couldn't get to the grocery store - you still had food and cleaning supplies.
I’m from the U.K. and have just come across your channel. Excellent information folks especially in these challenging times. Thank you for your efforts. I’m certainly subscribing. 🙏🏴
Get the food first, then worry about containers. Time is so short that you will be using your preps soon.
hardly anyone talks about stocking up on your vices. I'm thinking Coke, Tobacco, beer, wine, chocolate. the front of of hell is NOT the time to detox. And if you manage to quit your vices between now and then, all that stuff is good for bartering.
What I'm doing to prepare for what's ahead....... watching the provident prepper! Taking notes! And following the experts advice! Thanks guys!❤️
Noah preached for 120 years while he built the ark. Only 8 got on.
That’s why I love living in Montana we have plenty of resources on our farm
We've all been blessed with good times.
And, most of us realize that any feast is eventually followed by famine. At least it was in olden days.
@@sjordan7085 I see it as a teachable period for my children. They have no clue what hard times are, or what to do. Stay blessed.
I've always had a good supply of food on hand but after seeing the shelves emptied in our stores I've stocked up even more. I'm working on making sure I have Christmas food on hand now that I have everyday food done.
That's a good idea, I work on 'Santa's Workshop' for my little grand-daughter, as well as items for her birthdays. Even a 'big-girl' bed, musical instruments, material and sewing supplies to make her clothes, and like new thrift-store shoes collected over time. Already, with the shut-downs, children's books, toys and other items have started to be used. Our libraries are closed, but I used to buy items when they were on sale. Ten books for $1.00, and an almost new tricycle for $6.00, along with numerous high quality wooden toys that cost a fortune new, how could I go wrong? My daughter has stopped asking, "What's that for, Mom?" I am so glad I have been stashing things away! Shopping in Grandma's garage is the way to go.
@@sjordan7085 I have a almost 9 month old grand daughter as well whose birthday is in November so I"ve been stashing birthday gifts and christmas gifts for her as well. With my kids who both work, ones in University I will just give money to but in case a lock down happens I want Christmas to be normal for my family. Our libraries I think just opened up but it wouldn't surprise me at all if you have to book an app't to go.
@@paulaincanada4831 We must think alike. It is so easy to plan ahead, as well as being a frugal way to live. Libraries where I live are also closed, and will only be open for pick-up when they do open. No worries, this is a time to use one's time productively, start new hobbies, and become even more resilient. Never has the advice of my parents been so useful, I am so grateful for all they taught me. Future challenges will be a breeze thanks to their wisdom. My mother even taught me how to use herbs for healing, she knew the Latin names of plants too. I used to think every mother was like her with the ability to stretch every penny. They survived war and shortages!
@@sjordan7085 Oh I agree with you. My mother recently died at 74 but my mother in law who passed away survived the war and she was taken away by the nazi's and put to work in a work camp in her young teens. She was as frugal as the day was long. She sewed, she knit, she canned and she grew food. I took a lot of lessons from her. They survived so much with so little. It really makes me think. After listening to her stories it really makes me scared with what's going on now especially with the huge abuse of power that's going on. All I can think of is how is my family going to survive, can I put away enough to eat until next growing season. It scares the dickens out of me. Then I think about my grand baby and I have to make sure I have enough for them as well because you know I'm not going to let my family starve. It's scary right now and I'm not talking about the panedemic. Job losses, food shortages etc. We need to be ready.
@@paulaincanada4831 I totally agree with you. But, now that I have focused on being prepared, I feel a sense of peace and being able to relax. Really, all I need to do is move things around in the garage and make room for more boxes of food. I am far from rich, living on Social Security and a very tiny pension, but I have enough for my pets and myself, as well as extra to take care of my daughter and family who seem to be in denial. We are expecting a huge earthquake in the Pacific Northwest, and I am not sure how that will play out, but regardless I feel ready to hadle almost any challenge without having to worry. So, now, I can just go about my life, and refine the preps I have already made, or add to them, if I spy a good sale. Life is simple now! If anything, I hope I will outlive the food, instead of the other way around. After all my efforts it would break my heart to think of it all being tossed after I am dead and gone! Maybe, I should put labels and instructions on everything, just in case....LOL I already put things in a trunk for my little grand-daughter. Now it is time to settle down and organize photos, ready for the next generation. In case you haven't guessed I am in my early seventies. Time marches on!
Well, it's 2 full years later and I never prepped and I never ran out of food. In fact, I traveled the world and had an abundance of delicious food to eat everywhere.
I've got all this covered plus oil for lamps, candles, and a camp stove with lots of fuel.
What's the best lamp oil to buy?
We are last minute prepares. I realize now how naive we were. But like many, we really knew nothing of prepping. On top of that we’ve made huge moves nearly every 2 year across the country. But due to these times and our new awareness of the fragile state of things in this world, we’ve decided to hunker down and stay put (no moving!) And have begun to frantically and quickly study and research and try hard to catch up learning things we’ve never known or seen before. So if you see my comment here, I’d like to request you do more videos please and share info for some of us who are just learning. Like learning more about how to store.
And thank you for your time and trouble!!😊
What a great channel. I have been storing dried beans and rice under my bed in 2 liter bottles for years. Now I'm going to go pull all the ones out of the recycling bin and fill with water.
Can I ask why not keep rice, dried stuff in original packaging? What is the benefit of putting in bottles?
@@posypoodle6034 we made that mistake and mice got into our storage. Now I save all glass and plastic containers (soda, jam, pickle jars etc) and keep wheat, beans, rice etc...anything mice will eat, in containers.
Great content. God Bless you both. Trying times ahead of us no doubt. Prophetic.
Im stocked up im my 3500 square foot under ground bunker all i need now is you!!!!!!! Seriously!!!!! But are you strong enough to survive??...??????
@@curtissantos3137 I was made for this Curtis 😉
✝️🙏❤
Putting a false wall in your home is one thing that will help deture thieves from taking your stock pile. Also if you live in a rural area you can stash food away from you home.
Also consider how to dispose of your food waste products. Empty cans and boxes overflowing or at the top of your trash bin can be a sign to others that you have plenty. Take care to crush these things so that your bin appears low.
Yesterday I heard that feminine supplies it would be a good idea for women and young girls
I work retail and those flew off the shelves when they started wiping out the store a few months ago and we literally didn't have any for a bit
Invest in reusable feminine products they last for years and saves money also
Feminine napkins can be used as bandages for serious wounds as well. I stock them just for that reason alone, but eventually they could also be a nice trade item.
Honestly the best thing you should get is a cup. It’s reusable no harmful bleach and cotton . I’d stock up on cups personally
Please keep sharing your knowledge! My dehydrator is running 24/7! I have been bartering with my neighbor since the downturn. They mow my lawn, and I make them dinner. Use your skills to save you money! WATCHERS: these are the best preppers out there, keep watching and liking their vids!
This message has been preached for the last ten years.
Thank you for your wisdom. God Bless. Do not forget vitamins and nutrients. Two tablets can equal five fruits and vegetables. Four super nutrients moringa oleifera , Turkey tail mushroom, oregano extract, olive leaf extract. Do not forget : unprocessed honey, apple cider vinegar, grape seed extract, D3, calcium,magnesium,d,copper,zinc,boron and phosphorus powder, muti stain probiotic, and superior multi vitamin. I want your wonderful family to be well.
I think you need to do a solo video on the importance of a wood stove. Number one killer of winter without power is hypothermia and pneumonia. Plus a solid plan and equipment for keeping your house as cool as possible during those hottest days of the year. Fans, keeping bugs out of the house, etc...
Great video btw, you are always giving me ideas on new things to prep for.
I started doing the empty soda bottles filled with water. Also when I go to the store check out the bakery. They have emoty food grade buckets that they throw out. They will gladly give them to you.
Not in my town. Greedy. They won’t even sell.
How long will water in a used soda bottle last ? Can the water become stagnant ?
ROSALIA MARTINEZ might want to google that great question. I’d be concerned and wouldn’t drink it.
@@rosaliamartinez8956 (1) Thoroughly clean and sanitize soda bottles before filling. (2) If filled with treated "city" water, it should last a long time, if properly stored. (3) If filled with well water or raw spring water, add a few drops of chlorine bleach -- see the Clorox website or the CDC site for treating water. (4) If treated and tightly capped, there's little risk the water will become "stagnant", as I think you mean the term. If the water tastes flat, pouring back and forth between 2 clean containers will add oxygen back into the water for a fresher taste.
@@oldtimerlee8820 Thank you for your very valuable information. You are very kind.
I started prepping 10+ years ago...
Good for you
The best time to prepare and/or plant a tree is 20 years ago. The second best time is today.
I did too, unfortunately, at the end of each month we seemed to have a personal economic collapse.... therefore we have very little in the pantry now, but Lord willing we will stock enough soon.
So would everyone else, but for many it was unfashionable. Prepping is in my DNA, I have always done it since I left home, Now in my seventies, I have come to realize that there was very little of use that my parents did not teach me. But, then, my mother was a teacher and my father a 'book-worm,' so what else would one expect?
Will you marry me?
Thank you for all your time and effort!
God bless you!
Accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior today, right now and rely on Him. He is the hope, the truth, and the WAY. Matthew 6:25-27 “Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life?” Jesus is returning for His church very very soon. This is why the world is deteriorating right before your eyes. Instead of worrying about prepping for the chaos, prep your spirit. Accept Jesus today, repent and turn from your sin and become a new creation in Him. That way when He returns for His church, you will be taken with us to Heaven and will not have to worry about stocking up to endure the coming tribulation- the most sorrow-filled time in Earth's history.
Amanda Williams Jesus wasn’t about church building churches, repenting in your heart and giving thanks is good and necessary for our hearts and souls. His Gospel is what one needs to understand and follow.
Amen !!!
Amen
Is interesting everyone forgets how Jesus many times said he doesn't do anything that his father doesn't tell him. You need to be seeking Jehovah's approval. Jesus is the way to him. And he let the example for us to follow and be of acceptance to the father. Revelation 4:11 words of Jesus himself. The issue with churches today don't teach the truth.
Jesus said that we would have to endure tribulation, so it’s wise to be prepared to go through tribulation spiritually and physically. John 16:33 KJV
33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
When it comes to the rapture or the gathering together of born again believers with Jesus, Paul made it clear in 2 Thessalonians 2:1-4 that we would not be gathered together with Jesus until a falling away of faith happened first and the Antichrist also has to be revealed.
1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,
2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.
3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
There will be a falling away of the faith because people are going to be deceived, and the Antichrist will reign calling himself God, before believers will meet Jesus in the clouds.
Thanks guys for sharing your wisdom.
Stay safe
Another overlooked item to get is razor blades, there is a shortage in some places.
A shortage of razor blades? That's a new one! Thanks for the eye opener!
I stock up on coffee filters because they work great for cleaning in lieu of paper towels and can also double for tp.
Great video! Every time I'm in the grocery store or local drug store, I'm always thinking about what preps I can pick up and what's on sale. 👍
The day I went to the store and the only fresh eggs left were a small bag of hard boiled ones (that I had to ask a taller person to reach from the top shelf!) is the day I told my husband, "We're getting chickens!" I've now got nine healthy hens who will be moving out to the coop this month. We had already had a decent amount of food storage, but we've really taken it to the next level in the last few months. Do what you can and it will add up! Stay safe, and God bless.
There's also a can shortage looming because of tin and metal disruptions in China. A lot of companies are ceasing production of "niche" products "Vanilla Coke" etc. So, buy as much canned goods as possible now.
Regards
My boyfriend loves Vanilla Coke and yes it's been hard to find. Coca Cola put out a statement saying they will use the material for cans that they can get for their most popular flavors. It makes sense that that is what they want to try to keep on shelves.
As a pepper for last few years, even I was like "yeah, there will always be canned food - beans, soups etc," but lately I have noticed a huge drop in canned food items at the store. If canned Goya beans were 0.95 a can, now they are $1.39!!! So, yes, canned food is and will be a problem.
There isn't any food to 'can' so just like the virus, it's something to blame the lack of food on instead of being truthful about there being no food...
Thx
I see they are prepping for war too....
Thank you for Sharing What if you don't get enough money to stock up and you can only do so much.
