I live in Ohio, and just about six months ago there was a sheriff from the southern part of our state, which is QUITE rural and quite beautiful, who was one of the sheriffs who went to Washington for an annual meeting they have with certain leaders (it's worth mentioning that he said Biden, for the fourth straight year, refused to meet with them but among others, Christopher Wray did) and he was being interviewed on a podcast. He was on the Glenn Beck show and what he had to say was nothing shy of chilling. He said the average American would be stunned and terrified if they had ANY idea of how many illegals and groups of sleeper cells are in RURAL Ohio now. Rural, and way off the beaten path. As in the sticks. He said he even tells his citizens to arm themselves even on their own rural property. This was done purposely to our country.
indeed it was just as the islamic takeover of the UK was WEF orchestrated and the invasion of Islam in the EU but Hungary has solved their problem and we can as well stay in the word, vote against evil and fight the good fight
@dyates6380....Done intentionally. And just whom do people believe has heaped this abuse on Americans' heads? Whilst they gnaw on a nothing burger, 2025 which Trump doesn't endorse, they ought be concerned with 2030. Schwabs' plan calls for 90% population decrease, & now we see how they plan to execute it. It's President Trump or we're done.
I am a medical contract worker who travels all over the country and it is always rural areas. Everywhere I have traveled, we now have transnational violent gangs out in the rural areas, not just the cities. Even the Indian Reservations have been infiltrated by these gangs, violent drug gangs.
I live in the middle of a national wildlife refuge …. Nearest neighbor is about 1.5 miles down the road. I’m in about 4 miles on a dirt road. I’m insulated and prepared but not invincible ….. no one is. I do have a very large home I live in alone with my five German Shepherds. The few neighbors I have I wouldn’t trust. I do however have friends who are gun enthusiasts/hunters. SHTF the plan is for them to come here. My US Marine son will also be here if he can. But God has always taken care of me and kept me safe ….. HE is the one I ultimately rely on. If someone kills me in order to take what I have ….. so be it. I’ll be in glory and it won’t matter. But until that day arrives I’ll do what I can and prepare.
I live in the country and have known this for many years. I really don't care anymore. Kids are gone, wife left and Im just retired. I am prepared better than most but Im also prepared to go home to meet my maker and live with Jesus for eternity. This world has grown too dark and evil to even be remotely desirable to want to survive and stay here.
Repent, correct your mistakes or let the nature take its course. We've got what we deserved, because it's just consequences of our actions or actually of lack of actions against evil things.
One good example is what my dad told me before my first long road trip. If I break down at night on a desolate road, go hide in the trees. That way if people stop, I can watch and see if they are looking to help, or if they start breaking into my car. So I'll know whether to stay hidden or not, as a lone 20 yr old female on the road.
You rural living people need peacocks and loud, alerting birds. We had them & they are fantastic! They alert you to the things you can't see, so you watch and wait until you can.
I live in a Chicago suburb. I trust no one that lives around me. No one knows what I have. The only person who does is 1 family member who works in Chicago, but lives in Indiana. I'm basically on my own. The rest of my family have cut me off. And it was Jesus that came between us. So utterly sad, but they are prayed for every day. 9 grandbabies that have to live in this wicked world without their grandma. I'm the only one who has shared Jesus with all of them. I'm sure there are others who subscribe to this channel that are experiencing this very thing. Trust the Lord. He is our only hope.
The poor people who lived in the Appalachians didn't even know there was a depression. They had no money and very little else, so they didn't even notice. God blesses the poor with faith, love, knowledge, and skills. The kind of people he knows to be worthy of his Kingdom.
I HAVE thought about it---but feel trapped. I'm married to a lovely man who is a complete ostrich. Pretending everything is "just fine". I stay prayed up and I am a strongly spiritual person. I have prepped in ways I can and as you've mentioned with the food, water, other supplies. I even got a handgun (and ammo) and took the conceal carry course for my State---but the reality is, I am no markswoman. I am concerned for my adult kids, and of course, our one little grandson. I've had a good life, but my concerns are for the future of this Nation and the younger folks.
I completely understand. My husband thinks that T is going to become president and everything will be back to “normal “ again. I do the best I can to prepare and try to talk him into leaving the suburbs and go to the country.
I live in a remote area. I understand your thoughts, but having dogs, solar exterior cameras, solar PIR motion detectors, solar motion activated lights, night vision and thermal scopes, gives me a great advantage over any infiltrator. I have the advantage of being a trained and experienced combat vet, like each of my three 'neighbor's ' within three miles radius. We all have to live somewhere, I say the more the remote the better. In town, they can hide behind your garbage can. My wife and I chose to live remote for this reason. In town or even in tbe suburbs, you are on the front lines. However, you are right. It is our Savior Jesus that we rely on, not our preps! Thank you!!
You are right. My Mom’s family had a farm in Europe that was taken over during 2nd world war. Germans used it as headquarters. My Mom’s family were kept alive to look after them.
Really? Where in the New Testament did Jesus say that? Jesus is an example of how to live. He said that we are the same as him. That we are also sons of god, that we can do the same miracles that he did. And if you think that he's coming back, that's delusional. He was telling us that we are eternal. So many of his parables are misunderstood.
Always trust your dogs trained k9s are the key. Dogs see , hear and smell what we do not . Trained k9s will tell you just what you face, where it is and will help engage.
I’d still rather take my chances in the country vs the cities. There’s more like minded people in the country than the cities and when fuel runs out those from the big city won’t walk 50 miles let alone 5 miles.
In 1992 Maurice Strong gave a speech at the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro. He was later interviewed and one of the questions asked was regarding the part of his speech in which Strong said one of the stated goals of Agenda 21 was to move people out of rural areas and into cities. Interviewer: " What if people don't want to move out of the countryside" Strong: "Then we'll just burn the damn forest down" We are not just up against desperate people who are left to their own wits and devices and just fighting to survive. There will be many who will be well equipped and funded to terrorize rural areas ... much like the 'summer of love' in 2020. People bussed in and supplied housing and food trucks( and piles of bricks), etc. This is an old and well documented goal of the Establishment.
The most terrifying thing people should be concerned about are groups of people. Many people seem to be preparing alone, but when things kick off, people are going to seek safety in numbers.
The good people will come together eventually you have to remember the people that have been preparing are mainly the good ones the good ones that are trying to protect their family. It's not going to take a whole lot of raiding communities for people to band together and protect what's theirs. My only concern is people should be more prepared with self-defense tools and ammunition. This is one of my biggest concerns when it comes to s. t. h .f situations and being so close to the city is not a good thing.
I am focusing on my relationship with God. Look at Great Britain. It's already starting here. They will come for us...unless Trump wins and he's true to his word. I'm about 15% on that happening. Here in mn we have red flag laws. They will come for us at some point. It's ok. They can't take my soul. Try to bring others to Jesus. Fight while you can but in Faith.
I am a single mom with skim financial resources and I have a child with ADHD and Autism. I have not had the resources to prepare in any way whatsoever. I worry that when the crap hits the fan my child will give us away and get us killed. The only thing I will be able to do is to trust God.
Jesus is the Way the Truth and the Life!!! There will be no one else who can save you in the end!!! Thank-you for this video and telling the Truth!!! God keep us until the end !!! Amen 🙏🙏🙏🙌🙌🙌
I occasionally get the bug for a new puppy. Every year or so I check CL, local ads etc. For the large size dogs, it's mostly been labs, hunting dogs, mixes etc. But for the last two years, it suddenly was teeming in German Shepherds, everywhere I looked. I would love to have one but couldn't afford the price. But I found a GS and Rottie mix with a bit more of another breed. I'm not encouraging inner breeding but, the pups were there and I got one. Tucker was adopted at 8 weeks old in 2022 and is a spoiled, loyal dog. I feel safer and he's happy as a lark playing with my smaller dogs on my 8 acres. Anyone and everyone should have a dog, as long as they wan it, love it, have a proper place for it and can and WILL/DO take care of it. And for the record, overall, rural living is safer. But evil does what evil does and we can't hide under a rock. Have faith and live a life of freedom. Use your common sense, pay attention and pray thankfully and humbly.
A community of trustworthy, like minded neighbors as far from a major city as possible is the safest IMO. Being a lone wolf isn't safe no matter where you are.
my property is backed up to a large area of woods. Thats exactly why I purchased a thermal scope to at least be able to scan suspected areas for possible threats.
A huge thank you for being the one who finally speaks the truth. I have been saying this for years. I spent almost thirty years in the mountains of north carolina prepping my heart out. But then because of some tragedies that occurred i had to leave. However I soon realized that I would never have made it in those mountains with what's getting ready to happen. Like you said it only takes one. I'm now in a small city in FL, and staying very close to the Father and his Son and I feel safer here than I did with all the stuff that I collected for thirty years on a prepper farm. Thank you again. Ppl must repent and obey. There is only one way.
We are living in very perilous times! The best we can do is prep, pray and look to the heavens for His soon return! This is not my home and I’m ready to see my Jesus!
Hi all I’m over here in Ireland and many times in the past we had to fight or hide or run from the Viking and the Brits and now it looks like we are going to have to do it all again but this time the enemy is more subtle, God bless and keep safe
These subjects only torment us and we begin to over catastrophize. I'm old, female and alone. What will be, will be. I only hope to be blessed to be with my Lord in Paradise. On Earth.
My property/house is fenced all the way around so if anyone comes around my dogs will bark and give me time to react … I have inside dogs and outside dogs! AND A HEDGE OF PROTECTION FROM GOD!!! 🙏🏼
I wouldn't be out there in the wilderness for the safety. I would be out there for the wild game fish and water. I'd rely on God's grace and what wisdom he gave me for protection.
Very True... that's the only thing i worry about. But to give me peace i pray over my property Psalm 91:9 IF you say, The Lord is my refuge, and you make the Most High your dwelling, no harm will overtake you, no disaster will come near your tent... Stay safe out there and pray pray pray that we will be protected.
I used to try to prep for the worst. Stocks of food, meds, gold, silver, seeds, hand tools ect.. then it dawned on me that this is only good if everyone stays civilized. I stopped prepping except for guns and ammo.
Out of the thirty or forty survival videos I've watched...this one is the best because you understand that this is a war between good and evil...our neighbors are made of flesh and blood but what's in their hearts is what drives them to behave in a loving or hateful way'. What good is it to live in a rural community if your neighbor is an evil Karen who hates the sight of you for no good reason other than she is possessed by hate. Planning for these end times is almost impossible because we are dealing with an unknown...keeping Jesus in our hearts is the only way we can survive,
If you just divinely protected - you'll die happy not noticing what happened. If you physically protected too you could save yourself and people around you. Just flock together and help each other - that's the message God sends you in such times.
Tell that to all the children and women that have been kidnapped raped and murdered. Where's their divine intervention? How about all those that lose everything and have to live in the streets with no help, where's their divine intervention?
Martial law will order preppers to give up their stores or face severe consequences. From sat images , they know where everyone is that has fled to the woods.
Thank you. You hit the nail right on the head with this. If you don't have Jesus, you don't have anything. I watched other prepper videos and they had me scared to death. I had to quit watching them. I would talk to my father about this and he said that God will take care of us. I am so glad I saw this video.
Thanks for giving this reality check. I tell people all of the time, “if I want to come take everything you have, you can’t stop me. I watch and act when you’re least prepared.” We’re all wholly vulnerable to even a somewhat trained, intelligent individual/force.
I live in a rural area not one neighbors can see another. Drug dealers showed up and everything has to be locked everybody buys a gun whole neighborhood turns into trash
You hit the nail on the head. We're here to do work, God's work. We need to make sure we get that done. It wasn't easy for the apostles and early church. It might not be easy for us as well, but we're here now for a reason.
Based on my recent ( 4 years) experience, you are absolutely right. Moreover, I wish to changed New York city life to my rural location because I start hating people. Nothing specific or personal, just the amount of them surrounding me. Permanent traffic, permanent car theft and inside vehicle rubbery , NYPD does not come even if you call 911 telling your car was burglarized. While settling on my new 67 acres I decided to go around and introduce myself to all surrounding neighbors : I met no one smiling face. One guy met me with a rifle in hands, unleashed black dog a Sheppard size and hand coughs on a belt. I just knocked down to the door wishing to tell they have a new neighbor - me. Indeed, it was my illusion that all Americans are friendly people and specifically those residing in rural areas , where the help is carrying an extra value. My fault, I was delusional. People's first response is - you are an enemy, not a friend. Their attitude really shocked me and ignited to recall of what Schreck said in a cartoon, " My swamp, me, nobody else". I'm almost 60 y.o. Ukrainian origin living in the USA for 26 years. I don't know if my face seems so spooky or my behavior to say "Hello" considered as a rudeness. I know , not all people in my area are like that, but my neighbors are tough, not friendly, and probably no one is gonna come to help me if something happened.
2 or 3 German Shepherds on the property can determine a lot of this and a daily schedule of putting drones up to have eyes in the sky over your property. Trail cams that can be monitored is great to.
Treasures are in heaven, where they are secure. And right you are: we are creatures of consumption -- the clue of our great need, of our fellow man and Our creator/saviour. Have we thanked Him for truckers, farmers, strong and willing workers in all jobs? There are a lot of good caring people still who are very concerned for the state of humanity. Lets remember them in our prayers
A couple of years ago I moved from the big city to a very small (pop. 2000) town in NW TN, and I'm certain that I'm more safe here from SHTF. Certainly there are places of concealment where a sniper might "take me out" without warning, however the reality is that people in this very Christian area are, in general, not inclined to do such things. And, for those outsiders who may be so inclined, they are likely to be meet resistance getting into town. So many preppers are looking for perfect solutions, and they will not find that in this world. However, a person can sleep much better at night knowing that they are protected by multiple layers of imperfect solutions. Finally, I'll add that the great blessing of living in a rural area or very small town is not safety during SHTF, but rather it's the wonderful, tranquil quality of life that can be had on a daily basis.
I would call the Mike scenario devastatingly rural. It isn't just the sniper, it is the toothache, the hard pregnancy, the injury while working. The urban areas have all the supplies, hospitals, but the population will quickly exhaust the supplies and the predators are thicker. The suburbs are too close to the cities. It is the exurbs the small rural towns that have four roads in and out, give you the best bet of survival. Why the small towns? Land for food, a water supply, people with skills, a sense of community. Amen to pray to the God that created you, and forgave you. Be charitable, humble, merciful and just.
You're so right in all the points you just made. I've always said, "If you live in an area surrounded by forest or even surrounded by most rural landscapes, you have no idea who might be hidden out there watching you". And if anyone is especially out there hungry and going without food our perceived standards of morality become severely challenged. Then you can only guess who it is that's willing to extremely suffer in order to be a good neighbor. But you are especially right that our primary concern should be the saving of our souls and not the saving of our physical existence.
Your spot on with your assessment of going alone, a person needs friends, family others of like mindedness. In another word you need people that are on the same page.
Listen, friend. If it's our time to go, we go and nothing will stop that. I have lived alone in remote Indian jungles and felt protected by our Creator. Just relax and TRUST otherwise you will attract all the things you fear.
You cant live in fear you just have to stand in faith.. Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
The ones that are preparing a lot may be a big target they will not come alone it will be groups or a gang ! Can we prepare ourselves to defend against that !! What can we do ?? They are gonna want your supply!! Missing a few meals will make people absolute CRAZY N EVIL !!!
Yes Harris county is full of crime thanks Hidalgo. I took went looking for land thinking country is safer then suburbs. Not true. When you get in your 60s 70s. You will not make it in country living. If you fall. Break a leg or an arm. You will suffer. You have no ambulance service. Here I live by the best hospitals. Best health care. I'm stocked for 5 years him on a little 1\4. Piece of land. I can see people coming in I know my neighbors. I see everything. We used to think like all you other people. I love your videos. And what you say is true. Be careful. Safety in numbers. I'm glad I never purchased any land. I'm fine right here.
Sorry about your brother dying... condolences. You're correct, only God can truly be for you when you keep your heart in the right place. When the crap goes down and it will eventually happen, faith in Jesus himself will be the ONLY thing we can count on. If need be, I honestly believe God can make you invisible to an enemy and keep you safe from harm to get you thru some very hard times coming... God speed friend and keep the faith.
I can vouch for your opening statement. I own 80 acres of timbered land in rural Washington State. Recently people from the city bought property adjacent to my place. I've owned my place for over 20 years. As soon as they bought their property, they put up NO TRESPASSING signs all along the fence line pointed towards my place. Why!? I don't have any interest in their property. They are constantly shooting rifles there, in who knows what direction. What's even worse, they are Democrats.
The Lord himself said , “Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone, but if it die it bringeth forth much fruit. He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.
Rurual living is feels safer in terms of self-reliance and local community. It's so difficult where I'm from in England. I hope to live a life where I could rely on myself and my neighbours. There's nothing where I live. People would starve in a month. I'm wishing you well. You have a lot of wisdom.
"By eleven o’clock the next day we were well upon our way to the old English capital. Holmes had been buried in the morning papers all the way down, but after we had passed the Hampshire border he threw them down and began to admire the scenery. It was an ideal spring day, a light blue sky, flecked with little fleecy white clouds drifting across from west to east. The sun was shining very brightly, and yet there was an exhilarating nip in the air, which set an edge to a man’s energy. All over the countryside, away to the rolling hills around Aldershot, the little red and grey roofs of the farm-steadings peeped out from amid the light green of the new foliage. “Are they not fresh and beautiful?” I cried with all the enthusiasm of a man fresh from the fogs of Baker Street. But Holmes shook his head gravely. “Do you know, Watson,” said he, “that it is one of the curses of a mind with a turn like mine that I must look at everything with reference to my own special subject. You look at these scattered houses, and you are impressed by their beauty. I look at them, and the only thought which comes to me is a feeling of their isolation and of the impunity with which crime may be committed there.” “Good heavens!” I cried. “Who would associate crime with these dear old homesteads?” “They always fill me with a certain horror. It is my belief, Watson, founded upon my experience, that the lowest and vilest alleys in London do not present a more dreadful record of sin than does the smiling and beautiful countryside.” “You horrify me!” “But the reason is very obvious. The pressure of public opinion can do in the town what the law cannot accomplish. There is no lane so vile that the scream of a tortured child, or the thud of a drunkard’s blow, does not beget sympathy and indignation among the neighbours, and then the whole machinery of justice is ever so close that a word of complaint can set it going, and there is but a step between the crime and the dock. But look at these lonely houses, each in its own fields, filled for the most part with poor ignorant folk who know little of the law. Think of the deeds of hellish cruelty, the hidden wickedness which may go on, year in, year out, in such places, and none the wiser." ---Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson, from "The Adventure of the Copper Beeches"
Some one mentioned Alert Birds, like peacocks but a flocknof geese will sound the alarm and the big males attack intruders.... and they forage most of their food.
during a shtf, I would rather deal with a population of a small town of 1500 than 3 million in a tri county metro... ive lived in both and know the difference between the mentalities.
I’ve read every kind of post apocalyptic book. From plagues to nuclear war. Yeah it was all fiction, but the one thing I noticed in all of them was the protagonist in the story was always traveling and always came across a prepper house where the people were gone or dead and they ended up prepping for others in the end. Just saying.
You're very wise, sir. Thank you for sharing your wisdom. There's one more thing we need to adequately and fully prepare. We need to seek God while He still may be found for if things go south, many will be going into eternity completely unprepared to meet their Creator. Thank you for your video. I wish you well.
Amen. God Bless you Kevin. We are praying for the USA, I hope things do not get worse, but it is written in the bible the things that will come to earth. I started little by little to buy can foods etc... we live in Los Angeles, and it got very dangerous here, just on Saturday there was a shooting one street down to our place, and we do not live in a bad neighborhood. I told my family we might have to leave for my country and get a property in the countryside. In the meantime, I will continue praying for all, I will not stop praying. GOD IS GOOD.
About counting on your neighbors... First tornado, everybody was a little shell-shocked at 2am. A month later, another storm cooked up. ALL my immediate neighbors loaded up in their cars and drove off. I just stood there looking around the neighborhood and realized I was gonna ride this one out alone 😲
Finally!! You told it how it is, sir. Jesus led me to give up my preps and downsize almost 2 years ago. Skills are the most valuable prep, arm yourselves with knowledge! And most of all, arm yourselves with faith and the Lord ❤
Our colonist ancestors depended on each other for cooperation in defense, working fields, building.....They were not amoral to the level of our society, and they weren't being overrun by tens of millions of invaders. Many of us don't have the slightest chance on our own, but could be helpful in a group. Everything you're saying has been obvious to me for many years. It is sad that more can't come together in the spirit of the beginning phrase of the 2nd item in the Bill of Rights. Great advice about manual items. Hard times are here, barbarism around the corner.
❤ Isaiah 26:20 The smell of food cooking or fire will call in the wild beasts. Light in a dark world is easy to see . Large (trained dogs )can. quietly alert you .
This is the best and most common sense video that I've heard in a very long time! I agree with everything you've said! May God help us all!!! I subscribed!!! BTW, I'm a woman, and I DIDN'T forget the nail clippers! ❤
Just living in the country has inherent dangers above and beyond just people that city life doesn't. That being said, if your reason for moving "off grid" into the country is to avoid people and their dangers. Then you must take a wholistic approach. Meaning a militaristic approach. Security, security, security....You can get dogs, you can not disturb the wildlife so it becomes your alarms...red squirrels for example. Set up trail cams, do patrols etc. If your sole purpose of "off grid" living is to protect yourself from people. Then you have to focus on that and make it your priority. It's all about prioritizing, and understanding why you're doing what you're doing. Living a militaristic lifestyle is not a comfortable life. We're not there yet, and may never get there. If we do, you will have to adapt to the changing environment. I've been to war. It wasn't like training. War is full time. It wears on you. Things to consider.
I live in Ohio, and just about six months ago there was a sheriff from the southern part of our state, which is QUITE rural and quite beautiful, who was one of the sheriffs who went to Washington for an annual meeting they have with certain leaders (it's worth mentioning that he said Biden, for the fourth straight year, refused to meet with them but among others, Christopher Wray did) and he was being interviewed on a podcast. He was on the Glenn Beck show and what he had to say was nothing shy of chilling. He said the average American would be stunned and terrified if they had ANY idea of how many illegals and groups of sleeper cells are in RURAL Ohio now. Rural, and way off the beaten path. As in the sticks. He said he even tells his citizens to arm themselves even on their own rural property. This was done purposely to our country.
indeed it was just as the islamic takeover of the UK was WEF orchestrated and the invasion of Islam in the EU but Hungary has solved their problem and we can as well stay in the word, vote against evil and fight the good fight
@dyates6380....Done intentionally. And just whom do people believe has heaped this abuse on Americans' heads? Whilst they gnaw on a nothing burger, 2025 which Trump doesn't endorse, they ought be concerned with 2030. Schwabs' plan calls for 90% population decrease, & now we see how they plan to execute it.

I believe you. Thank you.
I am a medical contract worker who travels all over the country and it is always rural areas. Everywhere I have traveled, we now have transnational violent gangs out in the rural areas, not just the cities. Even the Indian Reservations have been infiltrated by these gangs, violent drug gangs.
He is a good sheriff.
Americans should have never let this happen in the first place
I live in the middle of a national wildlife refuge …. Nearest neighbor is about 1.5 miles down the road. I’m in about 4 miles on a dirt road. I’m insulated and prepared but not invincible ….. no one is.
I do have a very large home I live in alone with my five German Shepherds. The few neighbors I have I wouldn’t trust. I do however have friends who are gun enthusiasts/hunters. SHTF the plan is for them to come here. My US Marine son will also be here if he can.
But God has always taken care of me and kept me safe ….. HE is the one I ultimately rely on. If someone kills me in order to take what I have ….. so be it. I’ll be in glory and it won’t matter.
But until that day arrives I’ll do what I can and prepare.
I live in the country and have known this for many years. I really don't care anymore. Kids are gone, wife left and Im just retired. I am prepared better than most but Im also prepared to go home to meet my maker and live with Jesus for eternity. This world has grown too dark and evil to even be remotely desirable to want to survive and stay here.
It's a shame that our world has become like this.
Repent, correct your mistakes or let the nature take its course. We've got what we deserved, because it's just consequences of our actions or actually of lack of actions against evil things.
One good example is what my dad told me before my first long road trip. If I break down at night on a desolate road, go hide in the trees. That way if people stop, I can watch and see if they are looking to help, or if they start breaking into my car. So I'll know whether to stay hidden or not, as a lone 20 yr old female on the road.
You rural living people need peacocks and loud, alerting birds. We had them & they are fantastic! They alert you to the things you can't see, so you watch and wait until you can.
Dont ever tell anyone about what you have got or your plans.. This is vital.
I think neighbors helping neighbors is a myth. The people in my neighborhood won't even answer the door when I know they are home.
I live in a Chicago suburb. I trust no one that lives around me. No one knows what I have. The only person who does is 1 family member who works in Chicago, but lives in Indiana.

I completely understand. My husband thinks that T is going to become president and everything will be back to “normal “ again.
I do the best I can to prepare and try to talk him into leaving the suburbs and go to the country.
No where is safe without GOD.
Anywhere can be safe with him.
Psalm 91 and many more 🙏
Have to find your mustard seed and hold on tight.
I live in a very small mountain town - alone. I just stay to myself, avoiding people altogether. It's pure heaven !!! 😊😊

Do not fear-365 times in the bible.
I live in a remote area. I understand your thoughts, but having dogs, solar exterior cameras, solar PIR motion detectors, solar motion activated lights, night vision and thermal scopes, gives me a great advantage over any infiltrator. I have the advantage of being a trained and experienced combat vet, like each of my three 'neighbor's ' within three miles radius. We all have to live somewhere, I say the more the remote the better. In town, they can hide behind your garbage can. My wife and I chose to live remote for this reason. In town or even in tbe suburbs, you are on the front lines.
However, you are right. It is our Savior Jesus that we rely on, not our preps! Thank you!!
First Prepper Person on You Tube to tell the honest truth . God Bless You Sir.
You are right. My Mom’s family had a farm in Europe that was taken over during 2nd world war. Germans used it as headquarters. My Mom’s family were kept alive to look after them.
I've always said, "I can only mitigate the risk." It's ultimately up to the Lord. If my number comes up, that's it.
Proverbs 21:31
The horse is prepared against the day of battle: but safety is of the Lord.
I subscribed after you mentioned Jesus Christ and the fact is we will not survive without Him.❤
Thank you. God Bless.
Really? Where in the New Testament did Jesus say that?
Jesus is an example of how to live. He said that we are the same as him. That we are also sons of god, that we can do the same miracles that he did. And if you think that he's coming back, that's delusional.
He was telling us that we are eternal.
So many of his parables are misunderstood.
This is why it’s important to make civil society stronger rather than giving up on it.
God is in control. Believe on Jesus.
Always trust your dogs trained k9s are the key. Dogs see , hear and smell what we do not . Trained k9s will tell you just what you face, where it is and will help engage.
I’d still rather take my chances in the country vs the cities. There’s more like minded people in the country than the cities and when fuel runs out those from the big city won’t walk 50 miles let alone 5 miles.
In 1992 Maurice Strong gave a speech at the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro. He was later interviewed and one of the questions asked was regarding the part of his speech in which Strong said one of the stated goals of Agenda 21 was to move people out of rural areas and into cities. Interviewer: " What if people don't want to move out of the countryside" Strong: "Then we'll just burn the damn forest down"
We are not just up against desperate people who are left to their own wits and devices and just fighting to survive. There will be many who will be well equipped and funded to terrorize rural areas ... much like the 'summer of love' in 2020. People bussed in and supplied housing and food trucks( and piles of bricks), etc. This is an old and well documented goal of the Establishment.
You’re absolutely right! Preparing is smart but leaning on God is wisdom! Pray, pray, pray
The only way God could help you in this if you people of the same faith flock together - the more the better.
As a single woman I thought about a rural homestead, but this confirms my thoughts about that prospect--just too risky.
The most terrifying thing people should be concerned about are groups of people. Many people seem to be preparing alone, but when things kick off, people are going to seek safety in numbers.
The good people will come together eventually you have to remember the people that have been preparing are mainly the good ones the good ones that are trying to protect their family. It's not going to take a whole lot of raiding communities for people to band together and protect what's theirs. My only concern is people should be more prepared with self-defense tools and ammunition. This is one of my biggest concerns when it comes to s. t. h .f situations and being so close to the city is not a good thing.
I am focusing on my relationship with God. Look at Great Britain. It's already starting here. They will come for us...unless Trump wins and he's true to his word. I'm about 15% on that happening. Here in mn we have red flag laws. They will come for us at some point. It's ok. They can't take my soul. Try to bring others to Jesus. Fight while you can but in Faith.
I am a single mom with skim financial resources and I have a child with ADHD and Autism. I have not had the resources to prepare in any way whatsoever. I worry that when the crap hits the fan my child will give us away and get us killed. The only thing I will be able to do is to trust God.
Jesus is the Way the Truth and the Life!!! There will be no one else who can save you in the end!!! Thank-you for this video and telling the Truth!!! God keep us until the end !!! Amen 🙏🙏🙏🙌🙌🙌
I occasionally get the bug for a new puppy. Every year or so I check CL, local ads etc. For the large size dogs, it's mostly been labs, hunting dogs, mixes etc. But for the last two years, it suddenly was teeming in German Shepherds, everywhere I looked. I would love to have one but couldn't afford the price. But I found a GS and Rottie mix with a bit more of another breed. I'm not encouraging inner breeding but, the pups were there and I got one. Tucker was adopted at 8 weeks old in 2022 and is a spoiled, loyal dog. I feel safer and he's happy as a lark playing with my smaller dogs on my 8 acres. Anyone and everyone should have a dog, as long as they wan it, love it, have a proper place for it and can and WILL/DO take care of it.
And for the record, overall, rural living is safer. But evil does what evil does and we can't hide under a rock. Have faith and live a life of freedom. Use your common sense, pay attention and pray thankfully and humbly.
A community of trustworthy, like minded neighbors as far from a major city as possible is the safest IMO. Being a lone wolf isn't safe no matter where you are.
Great advice though my friend, you’re right, the battle we wage is not against flesh and blood but powers and principalities
I never thought I would see the day that there would be so much evil. This is a different world we live in today. I also live out in the country
my property is backed up to a large area of woods. Thats exactly why I purchased a thermal scope to at least be able to scan suspected areas for possible threats.
Dogs
Or geese like in Rome. :)
The other lunch meat.
Yes...
Dogs help detect unwanted company but not 150 - 200 yards away in hiding. I have 4 dogs they are an awesome early warning but they do have limits.
A huge thank you for being the one who finally speaks the truth. I have been saying this for years. I spent almost thirty years in the mountains of north carolina prepping my heart out. But then because of some tragedies that occurred i had to leave. However I soon realized that I would never have made it in those mountains with what's getting ready to happen. Like you said it only takes one. I'm now in a small city in FL, and staying very close to the Father and his Son and I feel safer here than I did with all the stuff that I collected for thirty years on a prepper farm. Thank you again. Ppl must repent and obey. There is only one way.
We are living in very perilous times! The best we can do is prep, pray and look to the heavens for His soon return! This is not my home and I’m ready to see my Jesus!
Hi all I’m over here in Ireland and many times in the past we had to fight or hide or run from the Viking and the Brits and now it looks like we are going to have to do it all again but this time the enemy is more subtle, God bless and keep safe
These subjects only torment us and we begin to over catastrophize. I'm old, female and alone. What will be, will be. I only hope to be blessed to be with my Lord in Paradise. On Earth.
Now I know why rural people leave junk in the yard. Keeping the place looking abandoned with a lot of steel cover around you is a good distraction.
My property/house is fenced all the way around so if anyone comes around my dogs will bark and give me time to react … I have inside dogs and outside dogs!
AND A HEDGE OF PROTECTION FROM GOD!!! 🙏🏼
I wouldn't be out there in the wilderness for the safety. I would be out there for the wild game fish and water. I'd rely on God's grace and what wisdom he gave me for protection.
This is why you put on the armor of God daily. And stay close to our lord and savior.
One thing you need to survive that you didn't mention: clothing. What you wear is really important.
Very True... that's the only thing i worry about. But to give me peace i pray over my property Psalm 91:9 IF you say, The Lord is my refuge, and you make the Most High your dwelling, no harm will overtake you, no disaster will come near your tent... Stay safe out there and pray pray pray that we will be protected.
I used to try to prep for the worst. Stocks of food, meds, gold, silver, seeds, hand tools ect.. then it dawned on me that this is only good if everyone stays civilized.
I stopped prepping except for guns and ammo.
This truly is a scary time we're living in. Come Lord Jesus
Out of the thirty or forty survival videos I've watched...this one is the best because you understand that this is a war between good and evil...our neighbors are made of flesh and blood but what's in their hearts is what drives them to behave in a loving or hateful way'. What good is it to live in a rural community if your neighbor is an evil Karen who hates the sight of you for no good reason other than she is possessed by hate. Planning for these end times is almost impossible because we are dealing with an unknown...keeping Jesus in our hearts is the only way we can survive,
I think the worst thing you can do is live in fear. Know that you are divinely protected and you will have nothing to worry about.
If you just divinely protected - you'll die happy not noticing what happened. If you physically protected too you could save yourself and people around you. Just flock together and help each other - that's the message God sends you in such times.
Tell that to all the children and women that have been kidnapped raped and murdered. Where's their divine intervention? How about all those that lose everything and have to live in the streets with no help, where's their divine intervention?
Ok if you say so but really don't believe that or you wouldn't be a prepper you would just trust in Jesus
Martial law will order preppers to give up their stores or face severe consequences. From sat images , they know where everyone is that has fled to the woods.
Thank you. You hit the nail right on the head with this. If you don't have Jesus, you don't have anything. I watched other prepper videos and they had me scared to death. I had to quit watching them. I would talk to my father about this and he said that God will take care of us. I am so glad I saw this video.
Thanks for giving this reality check. I tell people all of the time, “if I want to come take everything you have, you can’t stop me. I watch and act when you’re least prepared.” We’re all wholly vulnerable to even a somewhat trained, intelligent individual/force.
I live in a rural area not one neighbors can see another.
Drug dealers showed up and everything has to be locked everybody buys a gun whole neighborhood turns into trash
You hit the nail on the head. We're here to do work, God's work. We need to make sure we get that done. It wasn't easy for the apostles and early church. It might not be easy for us as well, but we're here now for a reason.
Based on my recent ( 4 years) experience, you are absolutely right. Moreover, I wish to changed New York city life to my rural location because I start hating people. Nothing specific or personal, just the amount of them surrounding me. Permanent traffic, permanent car theft and inside vehicle rubbery , NYPD does not come even if you call 911 telling your car was burglarized. While settling on my new 67 acres I decided to go around and introduce myself to all surrounding neighbors : I met no one smiling face. One guy met me with a rifle in hands, unleashed black dog a Sheppard size and hand coughs on a belt. I just knocked down to the door wishing to tell they have a new neighbor - me. Indeed, it was my illusion that all Americans are friendly people and specifically those residing in rural areas , where the help is carrying an extra value. My fault, I was delusional. People's first response is - you are an enemy, not a friend. Their attitude really shocked me and ignited to recall of what Schreck said in a cartoon, " My swamp, me, nobody else". I'm almost 60 y.o. Ukrainian origin living in the USA for 26 years. I don't know if my face seems so spooky or my behavior to say "Hello" considered as a rudeness. I know , not all people in my area are like that, but my neighbors are tough, not friendly, and probably no one is gonna come to help me if something happened.
2 or 3 German Shepherds on the property can determine a lot of this and a daily schedule of putting drones up to have eyes in the sky over your property.
Trail cams that can be monitored is great to.
Treasures are in heaven, where they are secure. And right you are: we are creatures of consumption -- the clue of our great need, of our fellow man and Our creator/saviour. Have we thanked Him for truckers, farmers, strong and willing workers in all jobs? There are a lot of good caring people still who are very concerned for the state of humanity. Lets remember them in our prayers
Thank you so much for this message!! I will share it with everyone with ears to hear what the spirit is saying. Amen! God bless you, brother. 💖
I agree with you my brother. Jesus Christ is King 👑
I'm SOOOO GLAD I found you... once again. We used to watch you a while back. Your plans for cool stuff were VERY VERY useful and helpful.
A couple of years ago I moved from the big city to a very small (pop. 2000) town in NW TN, and I'm certain that I'm more safe here from SHTF. Certainly there are places of concealment where a sniper might "take me out" without warning, however the reality is that people in this very Christian area are, in general, not inclined to do such things. And, for those outsiders who may be so inclined, they are likely to be meet resistance getting into town.
So many preppers are looking for perfect solutions, and they will not find that in this world. However, a person can sleep much better at night knowing that they are protected by multiple layers of imperfect solutions.
Finally, I'll add that the great blessing of living in a rural area or very small town is not safety during SHTF, but rather it's the wonderful, tranquil quality of life that can be had on a daily basis.
I would call the Mike scenario devastatingly rural. It isn't just the sniper, it is the toothache, the hard pregnancy, the injury while working.
The urban areas have all the supplies, hospitals, but the population will quickly exhaust the supplies and the predators are thicker.
The suburbs are too close to the cities.
It is the exurbs the small rural towns that have four roads in and out, give you the best bet of survival.
Why the small towns? Land for food, a water supply, people with skills, a sense of community.
Amen to pray to the God that created you, and forgave you. Be charitable, humble, merciful and just.
You're so right in all the points you just made. I've always said, "If you live in an area surrounded by forest or even surrounded by most rural landscapes, you have no idea who might be hidden out there watching you". And if anyone is especially out there hungry and going without food our perceived standards of morality become severely challenged. Then you can only guess who it is that's willing to extremely suffer in order to be a good neighbor. But you are especially right that our primary concern should be the saving of our souls and not the saving of our physical existence.
Your spot on with your assessment of going alone, a person needs friends, family others of like mindedness. In another word you need people that are on the same page.
Listen, friend. If it's our time to go, we go and nothing will stop that. I have lived alone in remote Indian jungles and felt protected by our Creator. Just relax and TRUST otherwise you will attract all the things you fear.
The best thing you can do to "prepare" is to work like hell to save civiliation. Once that's gone , forget about having any sense of security.
You cant live in fear you just have to stand in faith..
Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
That's why it's glad to have a group of friends who stand watch for each other. That's what the ancient people did and they survived to this time
The ones that are preparing a lot may be a big target they will not come alone it will be groups or a gang ! Can we prepare ourselves to defend against that !! What can we do ?? They are gonna want your supply!! Missing a few meals will make people absolute CRAZY N EVIL !!!
Houses on the prairies have the advantage but you need a community to have a better chance against muraders.
I live in rural Palacios Texas, we ran as fast as we could in 2021 moved away from crime infested Harris County Texas, Jesus is coming for the church
My small town TX (1500 population) is infested with drug dealers, meth labs. I'm a permanent resident of Mexico and feel much safer in Mexico.
Yes Harris county is full of crime thanks Hidalgo. I took went looking for land thinking country is safer then suburbs. Not true. When you get in your 60s 70s. You will not make it in country living. If you fall. Break a leg or an arm. You will suffer. You have no ambulance service. Here I live by the best hospitals. Best health care. I'm stocked for 5 years him on a little 1\4. Piece of land. I can see people coming in I know my neighbors. I see everything. We used to think like all you other people. I love your videos. And what you say is true. Be careful. Safety in numbers. I'm glad I never purchased any land. I'm fine right here.
You are speaking the truth. Keep on, and pray everyday. God love yah.
Sorry about your brother dying... condolences. You're correct, only God can truly be for you when you keep your heart in the right place. When the crap goes down and it will eventually happen, faith in Jesus himself will be the ONLY thing we can count on. If need be, I honestly believe God can make you invisible to an enemy and keep you safe from harm to get you thru some very hard times coming... God speed friend and keep the faith.
hoarding supplies is like an insurance policy, you only need it if bad happens....
I can vouch for your opening statement. I own 80 acres of timbered land in rural Washington State. Recently people from the city bought property adjacent to my place. I've owned my place for over 20 years. As soon as they bought their property, they put up NO TRESPASSING signs all along the fence line pointed towards my place. Why!? I don't have any interest in their property. They are constantly shooting rifles there, in who knows what direction. What's even worse, they are Democrats.
I'm very grateful to have found your channel 🙏.
The ethnic immigrants stick together , and do not intermingle with outsiders
The Lord himself said , “Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone, but if it die it bringeth forth much fruit.
He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.
I think we need to be able to find peace no matter where we live. We need to prepare but we also need to pray.
You sound like a good man. God Bless.
A good point. It is also worth mentioning that the U.S. has technology to locate and take out a person with limited effort.
Rurual living is feels safer in terms of self-reliance and local community. It's so difficult where I'm from in England. I hope to live a life where I could rely on myself and my neighbours.
There's nothing where I live. People would starve in a month.
I'm wishing you well. You have a lot of wisdom.
I'm in england too. I dread to think about my town after one day of blackouts let alone anything more.. !
Thanks!
"By eleven o’clock the next day we were well upon our way to the old English capital. Holmes had been buried in the morning papers all the way down, but after we had passed the Hampshire border he threw them down and began to admire the scenery. It was an ideal spring day, a light blue sky, flecked with little fleecy white clouds drifting across from west to east. The sun was shining very brightly, and yet there was an exhilarating nip in the air, which set an edge to a man’s energy. All over the countryside, away to the rolling hills around Aldershot, the little red and grey roofs of the farm-steadings peeped out from amid the light green of the new foliage.
“Are they not fresh and beautiful?” I cried with all the enthusiasm of a man fresh from the fogs of Baker Street.
But Holmes shook his head gravely.
“Do you know, Watson,” said he, “that it is one of the curses of a mind with a turn like mine that I must look at everything with reference to my own special subject. You look at these scattered houses, and you are impressed by their beauty. I look at them, and the only thought which comes to me is a feeling of their isolation and of the impunity with which crime may be committed there.”
“Good heavens!” I cried. “Who would associate crime with these dear old homesteads?”
“They always fill me with a certain horror. It is my belief, Watson, founded upon my experience, that the lowest and vilest alleys in London do not present a more dreadful record of sin than does the smiling and beautiful countryside.”
“You horrify me!”
“But the reason is very obvious. The pressure of public opinion can do in the town what the law cannot accomplish. There is no lane so vile that the scream of a tortured child, or the thud of a drunkard’s blow, does not beget sympathy and indignation among the neighbours, and then the whole machinery of justice is ever so close that a word of complaint can set it going, and there is but a step between the crime and the dock. But look at these lonely houses, each in its own fields, filled for the most part with poor ignorant folk who know little of the law. Think of the deeds of hellish cruelty, the hidden wickedness which may go on, year in, year out, in such places, and none the wiser." ---Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson, from "The Adventure of the Copper Beeches"
Some one mentioned Alert Birds, like peacocks but a flocknof geese will sound the alarm and the big males attack intruders.... and they forage most of their food.
during a shtf,
I would rather deal with a population of a small town of 1500 than 3 million in a tri county metro... ive lived in both and know the difference between the mentalities.
You don't allow evil to take over, you destroy it at all costs
I’ve read every kind of post apocalyptic book. From plagues to nuclear war. Yeah it was all fiction, but the one thing I noticed in all of them was the protagonist in the story was always traveling and always came across a prepper house where the people were gone or dead and they ended up prepping for others in the end. Just saying.
Brother, everything you said is 💯
Found you a couple of weeks ago. Your videos are excellent and I enjoy them.
You're very wise, sir. Thank you for sharing your wisdom. There's one more thing we need to adequately and fully prepare. We need to seek God while He still may be found for if things go south, many will be going into eternity completely unprepared to meet their Creator. Thank you for your video. I wish you well.
Amen. God Bless you Kevin. We are praying for the USA, I hope things do not get worse, but it is written in the bible the things that will come to earth. I started little by little to buy can foods etc... we live in Los Angeles, and it got very dangerous here, just on Saturday there was a shooting one street down to our place, and we do not live in a bad neighborhood. I told my family we might have to leave for my country and get a property in the countryside. In the meantime, I will continue praying for all, I will not stop praying. GOD IS GOOD.
About counting on your neighbors... First tornado, everybody was a little shell-shocked at 2am. A month later, another storm cooked up. ALL my immediate neighbors loaded up in their cars and drove off. I just stood there looking around the neighborhood and realized I was gonna ride this one out alone 😲
Finally!! You told it how it is, sir. Jesus led me to give up my preps and downsize almost 2 years ago. Skills are the most valuable prep, arm yourselves with knowledge! And most of all, arm yourselves with faith and the Lord ❤
Our colonist ancestors depended on each other for cooperation in defense, working fields, building.....They were not amoral to the level of our society, and they weren't being overrun by tens of millions of invaders. Many of us don't have the slightest chance on our own, but could be helpful in a group. Everything you're saying has been obvious to me for many years. It is sad that more can't come together in the spirit of the beginning phrase of the 2nd item in the Bill of Rights. Great advice about manual items. Hard times are here, barbarism around the corner.
❤ Isaiah 26:20
The smell of food cooking or fire will call in the wild beasts.
Light in a dark world is easy to see .
Large (trained dogs )can.
quietly alert you .
This is the best and most common sense video that I've heard in a very long time! I agree with everything you've said! May God help us all!!! I subscribed!!! BTW, I'm a woman, and I DIDN'T forget the nail clippers! ❤
Just living in the country has inherent dangers above and beyond just people that city life doesn't.
That being said, if your reason for moving "off grid" into the country is to avoid people and their dangers. Then you must take a wholistic approach. Meaning a militaristic approach. Security, security, security....You can get dogs, you can not disturb the wildlife so it becomes your alarms...red squirrels for example. Set up trail cams, do patrols etc.
If your sole purpose of "off grid" living is to protect yourself from people. Then you have to focus on that and make it your priority.
It's all about prioritizing, and understanding why you're doing what you're doing.
Living a militaristic lifestyle is not a comfortable life. We're not there yet, and may never get there. If we do, you will have to adapt to the changing environment.
I've been to war. It wasn't like training. War is full time. It wears on you. Things to consider.
