I update my 13 year old daughter on a monthly basis about location hook ups if we become separated say during an earthquake or volcanic event. We live in the Pacific Northwest. She doesn’t even role her eyes. She’s on board with being prepared.
I live by a nuclear power plant. We have a few escape plans, geocaches, 2 destinations with food at said destinations. There are holes in our plans that need fixing though. Our 4 year old has severe autism and doesnt speak much. If I'm without a vehicle for any reason when shtf...i worry about how to get my family out of here. He's too big to carry, and he wouldn't understand the situation. Most important planning besides food and water, for sure! And a big Thank You for dedicating so much time over the years to help others! It really does mean a lot. -MN Prepping Mama
Have you thought about one of those folding wagons? You could get one and pull your child around in it so they wouldn't be afraid. Just my thought, keeping you and your child in my prayers. Stay safe
There are trail man carts. You can definitely use one of those. Can carry a lot of weight. Get your child used to it as a fun ride with mom and dad. I have kids with high functioning autism, grown now and doing great. This was my plan to evacuate them back in the day. You can even hook them to a bike. Very versatile. Best of luck. I know what you are dealing with. It will be alright.

Nice to see one prepper who thinks about fires, too. They're a bit more common disaster than EMP:s and zombies. It's possible to prepare for them, f.ex select noncombustible materials, protect valuable items, get fire blankets and extinquishers.
I live in an apartment bldg, today my neighbor had a pretty large kitchen fire and they're apartment was totaled. So close to us. With 3 kids 5 and under I'm very proud of how calm they were and how fast we got outside
Once I was helping people who had to be evacuated because of an apartment fire (the fire destroyed only one apartment completely, but the whole building, tens of homes had to be emptied). Many would have benefited from a backpack, where they had some clothing, medicines, wallet, phone, keys etc. Lack of preparation meant just hours of discomfort in this case, but still I think a bit of preparedness is worth the effort. It's nicer to have at least phone and money if you cannot get to home. Even a jacket with items in pockets is better than trying to grab multiple items and kids while rushing out after waking up. Such jacket or bag should be close enough every time of the day.
I really appreciate you publishing these bits of wealth on TH-cam. My wife and I both watch regularly. Just went to SD. I am very interested in what they have to offer.. Thanks again!
Cash is a big thing. I've trained my whole family to keep enough cash to be able to buy two tanks of gas hidden in the vehicle. So in an emergency, even if your wallet is stollen, you have enough cash to get somewhere or home.
Chlorine tank cars on trains are common .Chlorine is heavier than air .It is recommended that if there is a ruptured tank that the quickest action you can take is to increase elevation(like getting on your roof).Be aware of wind direction and strength .
Something I haven't seen on your TH-cam videos is the use of a bicycle for SHTF, get home, get out of dodge, bug-out alternative. I once saw a picture of a bicycle with some type of rack frame enclosing the rear tire with multiple attachments. Don't remember if it also had a motor on it. Also, how could it be modified for older people to make it easier to use? (Wide Extremely padded seat w/shock tube, upright riding position, fat cushiony tires, night ridding, etc.)
Yep, train can be dangerous. One of friend have been evacuated from his house during the Lac-Mégantic rail disaster in Québec, Canada in 2013. He took nothing with him. His house have never been damaged but the authorities have locked the downtown for 3 month for criminal investigation. He comeback at his home after 3 month.
We have a forest fire here now in Dorset, UK been burning since May/18 all the dry weather with the air travel being stopped it's going to be a bad year everywhere for forest/bush fires.
Good stuff. Our apartment building had a fire just two days ago, it was scary stuff. Fortunately we had literally just come from out of town so we had a couple bags packed already and could get out quickly. Thankfully it ended up getting contained so the whole building didn't go, but it definitely got me thinking about stuff like this more seriously since we nearly lost everything. I realized how important it is to already have things completely ready to go, along with a plan.
After the disastrous Camp Fire that destroyed Paradise, CA Juan Browne of the blancolirio channel (who did absolutely the best coverage of this event) interviewed th-cam.com/video/poCabJgfU44/w-d-xo.html Dean Strait who was working at a hospital that morning. In the video Dean took from the hospital's parking lot you can see that he would have been perfectly safe to stay there, yet he nearly died trapped in the evacuation traffic, as many less fortunate did. I haven't had the experience of needing to flee in an emergency, but got a huge wake-up call from the mass-departure from the total solar eclipse a few years ago where it took me 24 hours to go 100 miles in bumper-to-bumper traffic. Our highways, by financial and space limitations, are only built to handle a small percent of the population at any one time. If everyone rushes for the exits at the same time, they quickly come to a standstill and then you are TRAPPED. Consider focusing your preps on being able to stay home come hell or high water.
Our isolated property is 2 hours away with light traffic. It's what we could afford for the lot size we wanted, (20) acres. We'll never make it if we don't evacuate early.

Rick Christopher 😂😂😂 nice one.
Very well done. I had done the same thing with my twins who are 18 years old, and that does include 1 daughter.
Thats great love it when kids listen and learn from their parents. It very well could save her life or even yours...👍
We aren't preppers, but we are planners. Escape plan, bunker down plans etc. Keep it up!
I'm mesmerized by the wall behind you.

Good point Jess. Prepping for kids with special needs is often overlooked.

We are not preppers but we are Prepared. Thanks brother we all appreciate all you do for this great community-based channel😁
Mrs. if you are prepared then you are preppers , your not crazy or paranoid, just responsible. Welcome to the independent mind set.

Thanks for the video. Yes, it is good to have an evacuation plan in place. Keep prepping guys.

Good job presenting information useable by most most people!

@@fu4616 I carry an extra 10 Gallons in the back of my pickup.
That is a good tip. Some auto insurance have coverage for that type thing too.
These riots are a perfect example of something crazy that is unexpected in any city. Hope you all are safe.

The bicycle is a bright idea : during WWII, my grandma crossed half of France below the ennemi bombing thanks to her bicycle :)
I'm impressed by that wall of freedom behind you. Well done Sir, well done.
Thanks for the knowledge, Sootch00 !!!!!!!! As always long live the Republic my friend !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great video. It did inspire me to develop a plan. Thank you. Keep it up.
That's nice collection behind you.

Thanks for this very informative video 👍🏼 does help a lot
Very good reminder. Thanks!
I love the back drop. Jealous I am, lol.
What are you willing to do about it? Get your side hustle on or start a business

Hs Hs Juan Brown also did an incredible 2 year series on the Orville Dam rebuild.
When did you start a gun store, Sootch?
Whomever gave this video a thumbs down need to have their internet cut off for ever!!! 😁😁😎
Hey sootch, are you going to touch up on these riots at all?
You also need to have a plan for your pets are you going to be able to take your pets to a shelter and also do you have food for your pets
My dog goes WITH me-PERIOD. THAT IS NON-NEGOTIABLE!

Probably shouldn't show off that wall dude.
Why? Its probably in a nice safe room or bunkerp
If you fail to plan you plan to fail
Have a Meet Up A and B just in case a is obstructed by a fire or flood and such.
Lmfao running out of ideas
