High alcohol content like everclear mix with aloe vera gel makes hand sanitizer, which can also be used for cleaning wounds, you also can learn how to make normal saline which is used in medical practice to clean/flush out wounds, rinse eyes they have videos on how to make all you need is salt and water, betadine mixed with honey can be used for wound good for debreding wounds just some suggestions from a old registered nurse God bless and good luck
Thanks for sharing Danette!
Why not just buy regular rubbing alcohol? Alcohol is cheap and can be used as an all around sanitizer. You can put it in a spray bottle with water to clean and sanitize surfaces. Add Alcohol to aloe gel for a hand Sanitizer. You can use alcohol topically to take down a fever. 😊
Is the honey in the betadine for light curetting?
Thanks for sharing
@@alicerafferty9595 no you can't rubbing alcohol doesn't have a high enough alcohol content you need something around 80-90% proof
In this wicked world, knowing there’s people like you guys gives me hope and confidence. God bless the prepper community
I'm starting to hang on to my medicine bottles. They will be useful for putting a small amount of medicine, salt, sugar, coffee, herbs, nails and matches for trade.
These are great key safes too. Superglue something random like a stone to the lid and pop it in your raised bed
I use several of the smaller medicine bottles for saving seeds from things that grew well. Also for making small sewing kits or firestarting kits with matches & dry tinder.
Yes. I was using a med that comes with a glass type eye dropper inside of it to measure the liquid. I washed it well and let it air dry. I now have a nice collection of eye droppers to measure whatever in a time of need.
I put Q-tips, dental floss sticks, matches, toothpicks, and anything else small.
Same here 👍
Coffee, Cigarettes' and Booze.
I think seeds are very needed in this situation. For yourself and for others. I do a garden every year.
I've accepted that my only usable skills are knitting (and I have more yarn than anyone needs) and reading cursive (which seems to be like having a secret language). I have made several dozen waterproof fire starters that might be good for barter.
Knitted socks??? Those are the best!!! I have several pairs a friend of my mother (80year old) made. She paid her way through nursing school making socks for the doctors and their families. You have a gold mine my friend!!!❤❤❤
@@beatriceannbaker3350 socks and hats are the only things I can really make so thank you! I guess I just needed an internet stranger to make me feel better about what I have considered a low value skill.
Knitting is not only a barter item, but a usable skill. I’d trade a few apples for some socks, a couple dozen eggs for a sweater or shawl… keep stockpiling the yarn honey, get all kinds of colors & different materials if you can. Heck, you may even get some sheep & learn how to spin their wool into an unlimited supply of yarn.
Knitting is such an important skill. I, too, am a knitter. Hats, cowls, mittens, socks are all needed items. Also, knitting needs make handy personal protection if you need to use them for that! Knit those items for bartering for food or anything else you need and do not have.
@@jessicasarmy8896 I definitely need to expand my knitting beyond hats and socks. May try some shawls now that the weather is right for making larger things. And yes, knitting needles are definitely weapons! I was told some horror stories by a flight attendant about what someone knitting on a plane that hit turbulence.
I’m a seamstress and remember when my mom made me take sewing classes she said “if you can see you can always find work”
🤑I have a suggestion that I think might overcome your top picks. alcohol!! cheap; $10 for $750 ml bottles. get a bunch of them.
I need to get stuff for rodents. I have an indoor kitty but bless her heart she wouldn't know what to do with a mouse.😂 Thanks for your videos. I ordered several of the books you recommended. Most important is to be ready to meet our savior.
Amen. We must all be prepared.
They do not like peppermint. My sister has an issue with them right now. She said the peppermint is working to keep them away.
Rodents do not like the smell of Irish Mist soap. That said, if you have 'off duty' cats, sometimes just the smell of a cat will keep mice out, expecially if all food items are propery sealed, such as dry foods in mylar, then placed inside sealed plastic buckets. Make sure other dry foods are either in sealed tins or thick plastic totes that seal well. Any animal feeds should be stored in metal containers with well fitting lids or those gama lid topped plastic vaults used for dog food. A farmer friend told me nobody has just one mouse or rat. Sh used to put out commercially made potato flakes which are quite salty, the mice eat them and get very thirsty, then drink lots of water placed in bowls near the potato flakes..... end of story. The other thing my friend used to do, was take a plastic stright sided bucket with a wire handle, that has a bead hand grip on it. She covered the bead with peanut butter, and the mice would fall off and drown in the bucket of water. Both methods are less than kind, but probably a lot better than mouse traps or those nasty sticky strips. That said, when I discovered a family of baby rats in the back garden eating seed that had fallen from birdfeeders, I just waited for them to leave, and never saw them again. Lots of predators around hear and I didn't have the heart to harm them, especially when their lives were likely very short in any case.
Wow, I was just talking to my sister earlier. I told her I hope DIY prepper uploads today.❤
Thank you!
@diypreppertv
you're awesome
Your videos are Always straight to the point and always recommend what's actually necessary.
No doom and gloom
Cover your garage windows and basement windows. Have materials to cover inside windows when the time comes.
What material u use
You always remind me to continue to prep. Thank you, JR!
Great ideas. Thanks for pointing out some gaps in my stocks. I have always wondered how bartering would actually work. Every day with close neighbors or a “market day” in the parking lot of the abandoned grocery store with a larger group? Also, how to agree to bartering rules beforehand to keep people from begging for your stuff or just trying to steal it from you?
If things lasted long enough, established markets would probably start to form, but it would probably start out very small. The show Jericho had some interesting ideas about that. I think the episode was called Blackjack.
Honestly, I’d stick to a few trust-worthy sources for an ongoing exchange of goods/services. Maybe you have an apple tree & your neighbor has chickens. Meet every week or 2 to see about trading some eggs for apples… maybe another neighbor is a hair-stylist. Ya’ll can pay her for monthly haircuts with eggs or apples, etc
I'll toss in Glo-Sticks of all sizes. I bought a Glo-Stick in 1972 and carried it in my vehicle forever. Finally decided to replace it a few years ago (2020?), tested it and it glowed for almost 24 hours. Also--guy here, so not up on terminology--girl's period products like tampons and stuff. some can be used for wound care.
Excellent video. Great advice. You aren't prideful, just stating facts and good points. Also, if I may say so. It's good to have stuff that'll keep young ones occupied. I don't have a family myself, but a lot of niece's and nephew's. It'll be good to have games, puzzles, crayons and markers and even video games to keep them busy. Because some them won't understand what is happening. Even some notebooks for them to use as a journal. Keep Up the Good Work!
Heck a lot of those things are good for adults! You can't be switched "on" every second of every day. You need things to do in your downtime to help you unwind
Personally, I think one of the things most people are going to struggle with if SHTF does happen is being suddenly bereft of modern entertainment. Sure, in the initial scramble to secure your location you probably won't notice, but once things quiet down? Especially during winter? People are gonna go stir-crazy fast
thanks for all you do to help the community
You’re welcome! Thanks for always watching and commenting!
Don't forget about your pet foods.
concerning tooth pain, oil pulling for me is found to be effective, research it yourself, there are 4 oils you can use but i stick to coconut oil.
Clove oil works well.
@@bittersweet2253clove oil is… WHEW! Strong! 😂😂😂😂 I used it before and man I didn’t think I could handle it!
$300 dollars of precious metals for 12 cans of tuna may be a good deal at the time. (you snooze you lose,) if you go back and want the 12 cans after all. (it's gone or now $400.)
Watching, listening and preparing!😊❤
Thanks for watching and commenting!
I have a very well equipped RV which includes several kinds of sharp saws. I also had a tiny electric chain saw, until the engine burnt out after a big job. Saws come in very handy after storms when trees, even ones that have been professionally trimmed by Tree Surgeon. The wood can be cut up and used for firewood.
Thank you JR ! I learn something new every series. Bath and hand soap is needed, along with dish and laundry detergent always needed. Bic lighters,old cooking oil for torches. Extra ammo, pistol and rifle, axes, knifes, and assorted tools.
You can make lamp oil. It's relatively straight forward too. You just need a couple of paint cans and birch bark
We will only barter skills - no one needs to know what we have......just like you mentioned.
I hear a lot people say what Can we store stuff in five gallon buckets with Lids are great white ones from tractor supply with white lids, our food grade.
Castile bar soap, if you can find it, is great because you can wash your body AND your hair.
Great list of items, thank you.
Always great advice and information, JR! Reminded me to add to a couple areas I'm low on. Thank you!
Thanks JR for this update 😁
Thanks so much for your very valuable videos and knowledge.
just wanted to say i appreciate your channel and the vids you put out. most of this i already know but its always a good reminder because one gets sidetracked often by the current flow of things. thanks m8^^
Good list . I have a few items but need to get more...Thank you.
Great information.
Toilet wax seals! When you need it you need it!
Cloth feminine napkins can be washed and reused.
Vacuum packing saves food longer. I have two cups of rice, beans and other food vacuum packed for bartering.
Thanks for your variety of information and suggestions. Any possibility of using canned food or medicine past expirations for benefits with human/pet/livestock use?
I.e. benadryl and other meds that can be used for humans and animals. I am curious about how much I can use for more than myself in a pinch.
Canned food lasts years past the date look it up. Most drugs loose some effect over time but still work. Just look up the information before things go bad.
Activated Charcoal is a must
Yes, very useful to treat mold damaged lungs.
Thank you JR, as usual, great advice👍🏻
How much $$ to spend on bartering items is a guessing game. I'm not good at that. Good video anyway. I watch all your videos.
Just grab and extra “one” when you go shopping. For example, if you want lamps and oil, grab one of each on a shopping trip. Next trip get some extra cans. For propane, look at marketplace or yard sales to get a cheap old tank for $5 and trade it in for a new, full, tank for $20-$25. No one goes and buys everything at once. I’ve been at it for years and still have bigger gaps then I’d like, but I’m still at it, little by little.
I dont trust anyone to trade anything with....
Neither did a lot of people for all of human history. But they did, and so would you.
Unless you’re a doctor and mechanic and chemist and dentist and farmer etc. etc.
Just how do you stock medicine for long term. Medicine like , nitroglycerin, Lisinopril, insulin and other such meds.
I do have a vacuum sealer and will be grabbing a heat sealer for mylar bags, any suggestions on brands or models, vacuum/mylar bags?
I have a Metronic heat sealer that I got on Amazon. It's worked perfectly for three years now and it comes with a repair kit to replace the element when it finally goes out.
I bought a food saver. I take a 1 gallon bag put in a 4 pound bag of flour or sugar. I put a small hole in the top of the bag and seal it. The bags feel like a rock when done. After 2 years when I cut open a bag it goes instantly back to like I just bought it. So worth it.
Hair straightener seals mylar bags well.
👍😊
😊
Thanks for watching!
I may trade a paper bag of rice for a bag of beans 🫘
Mice will eat hand soap bars, so store those in a secure tote as well as toilet paper and other paper products. I store three 4lb bags of sugar in 50caliber Steel Ammo Cans with a rubber seal in the lid (this keeps moisture and rodents out). I don't advise storing sugar in glass jars/bottles because glass can break. Mice "can" eat through plastic 2 liter bottles, so I don't keep anything in them that I can not afford to lose. On personal hygiene, I don't see Hair Brushes, Combs, Razors and Mouth Wash on Lists. I would not Barter Sawyer Mini's because my group will need those someday (they only last for 100,000 gallons of water). If you know how to make charcoal, you can use charcoal and sand in a container to Barter. Scissors and Magnifying Glasses will be great Barter Items. Be prepared and be safe my friends.
1 oz gold = 1 roll TP in my world. Either that or use your shirt. Now, get off my lawn! Some options I had not thought of like the mouse traps. I may be known as the tampon guy, lot of guys will kill to get these types of products for their ladies. I feel many will forget the feminine hygiene unless they are prepper women.
Never purchase “barter” items! Purchase only items that you personally use.
I agree with you. Spending money on "bartering" items takes money away from my normal everyday items.
HELLO GTSY
My great grandfather died from an infection after cutting his foot with an axe. He didn't think it was a big deal.
✝️🇺🇸👍🏻
Larger bullions would increase your value you wouldnt trade your $300 for a few tins of tuna
Do not sell your Silver to anyone under Spot price.
There will be little to no barter. It will be more like the movie "The Road". Accept Jesus. He is humanity's only hope.
His coming for the Bride
They are planning on putting in a law that bartering will be illegal
Knickers to them all
If things ever got that bad there would be no Law!
When things go south, that won't matter
@@CliveHateley Law would be the last thing people would worry about.
@Ziggy623 where did you read that at ?
Fly strips small and will be needed
You shouldn't swap food, word gets around and everyone knows where to get it.
