Already utilizing my skills! I used to be a cook in high end kitchens... I also have a canner. I over prepped 3 weeks ago when I saw what was coming (I was looking at Italy). I began doing bulk shops at the farmer's markets and costco knowing a lot of my friends and their extended family might not prep in time. I began cooking and canning a few weeks back. I made bulk chicken stock and canned it. Salsa, veggie chili, pickles, peeled tomatoes, etc all made from scratch and canned. Then I began making massive batches of fresh pasta and drying them in individual servings. I have a modest garden with some kale, rosemary, cilantro, cucumber, and lemon trees. I began assembling care packages for people once grocery stores began to empty and friends began running out of food or being laid off. I've delivered a few locally here and now we're getting ready to ship a bunch out. It has brought a little lightness to people going through some very dark times. I too was shamed by someone claiming I could spread the virus... This was insulting to me because I've been certified many times in food handling, have used gloves through the entire process, and waited almost 10 days in isolation with my wife before I delivered food to anyone. But there you go... I have enough raw ingredients to still feed myself and wife for 6 months and continue to send out care packages with food to anyone who needs a life line or just a reason to smile.
Wow. Some would try to demonize Christ himself if he walked among us. How else can you be an example if no one knows? Doing is teaching at its finest. KUDOS to this man and ALL others who have the strength to stand before this mindless hate.
Great economics and history lesson Curtis! Get prepared for the coming changes people! Move outside of the city, create community, build skills, and start growing your own food.
The trouble is of course that if everyone, or even 10-20% of people, move out of the cities... we'd just have more different "cities" with no infrastructure. Times are tough in rural America too, not just the huge population centers. This is a country with 330,000,000 people. We cannot simply just all run out to the country and grow all our own food; not even a quarter of us could. I'll wager not even a tenth would ever even try on their own, much less succeed at it. Libertarians hate that cliche' "We live in a SOCIETY!" ...but there really is a point to it.
If you can't get out of the city, grow your own within the city! London provided 45% of it's own food during WW2. And grow some on the verge in front of your house, between the sidewalk and road, if you have that space. Make it a place where you can share with the neighbours.... part of the 'heart' thing. Good will goes a long way in times like these.
That is great !!! You must have some technology so I encourage and hope you will share your message. There are a lot of people in the city who can’t make a living and just sit and complain wanting the government to help them. I say move out of the city to a smaller town where you can afford housing, have less bills and grow a lot of your own food !! You are proof it can be done !!! Stay safe and God bless you !!!
for all my land and house , garage. costs less then a one bedroom apartment in the city. went from a microwave to a wood stove. frozen box dinner to homegrown eats.
I am so sorry people are calling the police on each other. God bless Texas, none of that nonsense going on here. I am finding people being very supportive and helpful of each other, at least here in Austin. In fact, the president of the community garden where one of my plots are, issued a message to the rest of us saying, "instead of social distancing, let's practice physical distancing" but keep the social. In other words, lets continue to be neighborly and talk to each other while at the garden from a reasonable distance. Everyday I am realizing more and more what truth to power that message was.
Wow, nice.I didn't expect this video. I don't regret for a second that I bought your book 2 years ago. Happy to have you in my Heart and Life and happy to support you. Blessings
I'm in the UK and I reckon that you are spot on. Seeing the population call for their own enslavement is sickening. I'm growing for the first time and it feels good. Just given out some seedlings to others in my community. New world.
There's a guy in Phoenix is channels called learn organic gardening. He did a video about Community Gardens and what to not plant within easy reach of others basically it was it was not things that people know that are delicious, peppers tomatoes Etc because they got stolen. He plants root crops stinging nettles that he eats herbs and some other things people do not recognize has food crops. Just some advice for all of you across the pond who Garden in allotments. Good luck And check-out Charles Dowding no till, if you haven't already
Head, hands, and heart. I like that Curtis. I also like your philosophies and I truly appreciate what I have learned from you on growing food. I do truly believe that being a person willing to help others is an essential part of being a good human person. I would only add that in addition to your philosophies concerning what’s in your heart is that I have, and it is so available to everyone, that peace that passes all understanding from having giving my heart to Christ. With that, I am able to walk daily without fear yet with the true desire to live as Christ has taught us. Whether you know it or not, you have so accurately described what He teaches about how we treat others.
Well said, this can be a real wake up call and possibly turn into some real hard times. I’m so thankful I have been really poor but pulled myself out of it by going to college and becoming a nurse. Once I started making an income, I paid off everything, saved and lived way below my means. I live on the edge of a forest with lakes, wildlife and a lot of foraging possibilities plus I have a big garden, canning supplies and knowledge!!! Being poor has taught me how to survive and I have a heart to help others, so I’ve been preparing for this too !!! Stay safe Stay strong Stay kind Social distancing is beneficial, people just don’t listen to how it should be done and they take it too far or not at all......it’s common sense people !!!
Hey curtis I have emailed with you a couple times. I started piggygreens microgreens based on your videos. Now because it changed my mind body and heart I now am being asked to help people in my community build living soil gardens!!!
So true thanks for the positive and uplifting comments as well as informative thoughts without the typical fear mongering! You are an empowering angel in these troubling times!
Kudos for this great post brother. This is what is called soul searching. I reckon every human being must go through this process sometime or the other in order to see the world in the correct perspective and help and change it. Of course it takes a certain level of maturity to attain this mind set to "SEE" correctly. It's not easy. God bless you brother. Keep up the good work.
I agree! The leaders of our church have counseled us to have a years supply of food if possible. I love it has given us the opportunity to bless other people’s lives. Because I Garden I have been getting lots of texts and calls on how to start a garden. I have given so many seedlings away.and sold a lot of them this week. We have been given the opportunity to see what we can do. Individually, as a family, community, state and nation to be better prepared. Learning what your weaknesses are can help you turn them to strengths.
I would like to plant over my entire back yard to a garden. it's been grass. and ants. I my province we had a huge ant problem last summer. any thoughts? I understand it's huge, and I'll be out of my depth and overwhelmed, but I don't care about that. thinking neighbors will like it. community garden has covid restrictions and fees involved. plus, is there an easy way to "cover it all over" like a diy greenhouse? 60' × 200", excluding the house.
@@christineagnew7372 find people who garden in your area- they are the best ones that know how to deal with the pests in your area. For ant problems, cinnamon or diatomaceous earth can help. What kind of crops will you be growing?
@@Junzar56 anything that I can plant! in high river alberta I don't think I can get away with peppers and tomatoes- they haven't done well for a few years here. but I was thinking carrots, potatoes, onions, things that can store longer overwinter. things that my family will eat.
I'm really appreciating these videos from you.... thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. The three H's is perfect .... it's why we started.
Love this vid. I have believed and have been saying the same thing for the last 10+ years. We need skills and be able to grow our own food and feed ourselves and our neighbours/family/friends.
Great stuff... I am a survival instructor and run a survival academy in Slovenia, EU. Preparedness is key.. Relaxation is important too. Compassion. But also knowledge, spiritual tech and hand skills 😎
Then I heard what sounded like a voice among the four living creatures, saying, Two pounds of wheat for a day’s wages,and six pounds of barley for a day’s wages, and do not damage the oil and the wine!
This video is why I tuned into you years ago. Smart then, smart now. You and I will make it through this. Thank you for the wisdom. You are an asset to humanity.
Totally agree with ya Curtis, the 3 Hs, Head, Hands and Heart, well said and on my count, well heeded. Stay safe and God bless you and yours always. :)
Cheap tip for urban water storage. I bought 35 gallon plastic trash cans (about $50 each), lined them with 60 gallon plastic trash bags, and filled with water, lined up in the garage. Naturally a couple ounces of plain chlorine bleach. Absolutely love your stuff, man. Love it!
I wish I could have a conversation with you in person. Every time I watch a video I’m nodding along. It seems like I cannot find anyone here who has similar views or questions anything. Good video, I’m enjoying the content, thanks for sharing
Thank you so much for this Curtis. God bless you and keep you and your loved ones safe. Hard times ahead. Btw, i lived through times when the economy was in chaos and after we had a revolution in my country, the prices went completely insane. A bread would cost 5 times as much in just a few days. Lots of factories closing, people out in the street, sleeping in parks with their children and all their bags, lots of suicides.
I am helping friends to garden and starting plants for them so they don't have to fight for them at the garden centers when and if they open. Gardening will be big this year! As I said to my boss, all we can do is take things one day at a time.
Agreed. Community is going to be everything moving forward. We're going to have to pull together and look out for those around us, so we should be making sure now that we're not the asshole that gets left out. Or pushed out. Good message; Thank you.
It´s insane, and a bit scary..life´s getting a stronger science fiction kind of vibes those days.. every day just reminds me something from Orwell´s "1984" . Hopefully the truth and good will preveal at the end! greetings from Buenos Aires Argentina!
Love your videos Curtis. Just to put your mind at ease over the hyper inflation that you are worried about, here are a few points to clarify. Fractional reserve banking is the money multiplier and we all think that the banks have to keep a fraction of all deposits. If you check Reserve Requirement in Wikipedia you will see that Canada and here in Australia there has not been a reserve requirement imposed on banks for decades - although they are self regulated so they do keep some reserve but nowhere near 10%. In Australia this has resulted in 98% of our money (97% in the UK and probably similar in Canada) not actually existing, it only represents someone’s debt. See money supply in Wikipedia, the charts show how the removal of the fractional reserve requirement has led to the growth in debt money in circulation while the line representing real money has hardly moved. So, in an economic downturn, all the money that doesn’t exist can literally disappear causing the economy to grind to a halt. It has to be replaced with real money printed by the reserve banks. The problem is where this money is introduced into the economy. As you said, if it goes to the banks that would not be good. However, this crisis is very different. It is the people that need the money to survive as we have to go into lockdown. If a Government is accepting new money from the reserve banks then that new money should belong to all the people of that country. A temporary Universal Basic Income for the duration of the crisis would ease a lot of tensions and anxiety and as it is replacing money that has disappeared from the economy there should not be hyperinflation. However, some inflation would be good, especially if everyone had the UBI to cover it as mortgage payments would become a smaller part of your overall budget. This is a complex field but Positive Money UK have a range of 2 minute videos that explain money creation very well. Good luck and good gardening to all.
I am a woman born in the 50's. We were poor but very Blessed. We learned farming skills at a very young age. We learned everything Very young. I married a farmer in 1981. We raise beef and we put up 4 chicken houses. I been driving a school bus off and on for years . I have 20 years now. Good pay and good insurance andI benefits. We also raise a lot of produce, we have a road side stand and on Sat. We sell at the farmers market. Got to cover all your bases as much as possible! Good luck with your farming ! Stay safe and love your videos! Marlene Willoughby on the farm in Fair Play SC !
it's important to be kind to people, to cultivate relationships, to be likeable ...but it is equally important to have firm boundaries against actual assholes. one toxic, abusive person in your life can not only undo the benefit of several good relationships...it can actually destroy them.
As the worse veg Gardner in my county the last 3 years and counting. I would like to thank you because I am still growing food and learning. Tilled a week ago. Planting today or tomorrow.
Your one of the most switched on people I've ever heard from Curtis. I have thought the same over the recent weeks.If ever there was a time for people to search their hearts that time is now! There are many people who are so self loathing and full of hate they look forward to the death and suffering of people and even the entire human race. As a younger man i myself flirted with such fantasies. For all the hurt people can cause they are still the joy of life. Not all people are equal and you can never judge a book by its cover. While we still have the freedom I want to thank you for sharing some of your life with me. May you, your family and community live long and prosper through this attack on the human heart.
Wise counsel. During the 2008 financial collapse it became very clear how important "faith" is. When people couldn't determine the value of assets it became clear how dependent we are on the value of our money and the willingness of others to "honor" that value. But when people lose faith (trust) in the currency and they are not connected to each other we can have big problems. COVID just reinforced that for me. We have "systematized" life to such a degree through the finances that we don't think we need each other in terms of committed relationships. Trust in Jesus is also an integral part of to what I mentioned before and the (true) church is built on the kind of relationships I just mentioned.
I’m planning a huge garden to feed those who are hungry. I have 10 acres in California. I say feed your neighbor or what’s this life for? I need help, I’m getting older. Funny thing is I went to Kelowna Secondary school when the Vietnam war was going on. We left USA and bought the Vineyard on Lakeshore Dr. Avery We need to grow our own now. Love to watch your videos, bless you.
We busy with our step Sold house Bought small apartment out of town(just interim) And also buying a small plot and will be fully off grid, own farming and chickens etc But also market farming We will have no debt at all Not home or car or anything Making it bit easier
I really love the "hands, head, and heart" metaphor. At MIT our slogan was "mens et manus" (mind and hand) but it should have been "mens et manus et cor ".
I totally agree, but not that isolation and handwashing is important in any way. On the contrary, we need to be with eachother, hugging and so on. It gives us hormones like serotonin, the feel good one. And washing hands will only make them cleaner, it wont help you stay healthy as virus don't live outside the body. But you are so right on many things, whats in the heart. Yes!!
8 months since u posted this video it sure does looks its gonna go from bad to worst Curtis. I'm prepping my farm and fruit orchard nowadays for what lies ahead. Greetings for Malaysia.
What about the the 4th "H" ....1 - Head 2 - Hands 3 - Heart 4 - Health........without "health" the other 3 don't work so well.....cheers to you Curtis :)
on the lame stream media point, it is what Voldemort did to Harry in Harry potter. He was isolating him to the point where he was on his own, and then he would be easier to take out, because he was on his own. Also human beings are social creatures, and we need to communicate. Self-isolation is going to be a death sentence, for people mentally, physically and spiritually.
Much respect, very few people have the capability to think anymore due to "social media influence" let alone think rationally, they prefer to "be first" with the rumours instead of doing real research into any topic that is sensationalized!! May you and yourn ride this coming wave of a crash and we shall see you on the other side!!
Great points I’m not lucky enough to have a homestead yet but I think community will be everything in a shtf situation and I’ve got some great people in my community but none preppers I would def take them in to help and I help them as for now I’m doing all I can to take care of my family store food for them and water and. Garden that’s about all I’ve got but enough where we can start finding other options on the mean time
Curtis (generally) where do you live? I'm in the far north of California. I've been trying to spread the very same message but it seems to fall on deaf ears. Glad I found your channel
The first thing that they closed down in my country (Bulgaria ) were the farmers markets .Only the big stores are open .Im a small farmer like u and now they are making it almost impossible for us to reach our custumers.The big cities are on lock down - we can not reach our custumers
Great video. Head heart and hands. Plenty of hands and a growing number of warm hearts....it’s the heads that concern me; like there is an acceleration in stupidity.
I'm disabled with minimal income black listed and set up years ago. Under constant watch. Would love to start over off grid. But it takes time money and physical endurance.
It all depends on how you want to talk about it. The current global financial system you call "A Scam" is one of the greatest systems mankind has ever seen. It has fueled the advancement of so many wonderful things (and bad obviously). I am still positive about the last 100 years of growth and development. Let's use this to clean up the bad half, like corruption and pollution and other things.

People have been brainwash in to thinking that a well manicure lawn is better than a garden with food.
This dude knows more about economics then 99% of people and he grows his own food like me. I started growing food because of this exact moment.
Beautiful

The problem is where this money is introduced into the economy. As you said, if it goes to the banks that would not be good. However, this crisis is very different. It is the people that need the money to survive as we have to go into lockdown. If a Government is accepting new money from the reserve banks then that new money should belong to all the people of that country. A temporary Universal Basic Income for the duration of the crisis would ease a lot of tensions and anxiety and as it is replacing money that has disappeared from the economy there should not be hyperinflation. However, some inflation would be good, especially if everyone had the UBI to cover it as mortgage payments would become a smaller part of your overall budget. This is a complex field but Positive Money UK have a range of 2 minute videos that explain money creation very well. Good luck and good gardening to all.
Straight up and on point. Thanks Curtis. Thumbs UP.
I am a woman born in the 50's. We were poor but very Blessed. We learned farming skills at a very young age. We learned everything Very young. I married a farmer in 1981.

We also raise a lot of produce, we have a road side stand and on Sat. We sell at the farmers market. Got to cover all your bases as much as possible! Good luck with your farming ! Stay safe and love your videos! Marlene Willoughby on the farm in Fair Play SC !
it's important to be kind to people, to cultivate relationships, to be likeable ...but it is equally important to have firm boundaries against actual assholes. one toxic, abusive person in your life can not only undo the benefit of several good relationships...it can actually destroy them.
Excellent and level-headed message
As the worse veg Gardner in my county the last 3 years and counting. I would like to thank you because I am still growing food and learning. Tilled a week ago. Planting today or tomorrow.
Amen, Curtis. Right on and true. Let's get back to work, NOW!
Thank you Curtis you have become a big inspiration from farming perspective and maturing persoective also hope the best fore your entire family.
Thank you Curtis, thank you for all your efforts and sharing your walk x
Your one of the most switched on people I've ever heard from Curtis. I have thought the same over the recent weeks.If ever there was a time for people to search their hearts that time is now!
There are many people who are so self loathing and full of hate they look forward to the death and suffering of people and even the entire human race. As a younger man i myself flirted with such fantasies.
For all the hurt people can cause they are still the joy of life. Not all people are equal and you can never judge a book by its cover.
While we still have the freedom I want to thank you for sharing some of your life with me.
May you, your family and community live long and prosper through this attack on the human heart.
Thank you Curtis
Wise counsel. During the 2008 financial collapse it became very clear how important "faith" is. When people couldn't determine the value of assets it became clear how dependent we are on the value of our money and the willingness of others to "honor" that value. But when people lose faith (trust) in the currency and they are not connected to each other we can have big problems. COVID just reinforced that for me. We have "systematized" life to such a degree through the finances that we don't think we need each other in terms of committed relationships. Trust in Jesus is also an integral part of to what I mentioned before and the (true) church is built on the kind of relationships I just mentioned.
Wonderful video curtis thank you for every second you have invested within yourself to produce such wonderful content.
Thanks for the wise words Curtis.
Wonderful, calm , thoughts, and how accurate.
I’m planning a huge garden to feed those who are hungry. I have 10 acres in California. I say feed your neighbor or what’s this life for? I need help, I’m getting older. Funny thing is I went to Kelowna Secondary school when the Vietnam war was going on. We left USA and bought the Vineyard on Lakeshore Dr. Avery We need to grow our own now. Love to watch your videos, bless you.
Outstanding Comments!
Thanks for your thoughts
Absolutely.
Amen brother!
Perfect talk brother,appreciate your message.
So you said this 3 years ago, and here we are 3 years later and you were so right. 😬
Really first rate advice. Curtis is a rock.
God bless you!
Words of wisdom.
We busy with our step
Sold house
Bought small apartment out of town(just interim)
And also buying a small plot and will be fully off grid, own farming and chickens etc
But also market farming
We will have no debt at all
Not home or car or anything
Making it bit easier
I really love the "hands, head, and heart" metaphor. At MIT our slogan was "mens et manus" (mind and hand) but it should have been "mens et manus et cor ".
Thank you! we still have last bits of frost but planted some hardier crops already! first bunch of lettuce in our greenhouse, hope it doesnt freeze.
Already started more plants then I normally would knowing family might be in need. We’ll be stronger after this if we stay together.
Man...hit the nail on the head on so many points!
I LOVE to see my neighbours with Big plants now as i provided them with seedlings during the spring
The very right attitude. The hunker downers are not the path to take. Excellent view for a first time views
Must reflect what is in your ❤️: what’s your head ~~
Best video you have done and I have probably watched them all
Right on Curtis!
I totally agree, but not that isolation and handwashing is important in any way. On the contrary, we need to be with eachother, hugging and so on. It gives us hormones like serotonin, the feel good one. And washing hands will only make them cleaner, it wont help you stay healthy as virus don't live outside the body. But you are so right on many things, whats in the heart. Yes!!
There's hope for us all!
Very Nice info and property view.
Thank you
We prep to share! It is a heart thing! Excellent talk bro! I will see you on the Mountain on youtube! Beekeeping with a great heart for others!
8 months since u posted this video it sure does looks its gonna go from bad to worst Curtis. I'm prepping my farm and fruit orchard nowadays for what lies ahead. Greetings for Malaysia.
Wise words.
What about the the 4th "H" ....1 - Head 2 - Hands 3 - Heart 4 - Health........without "health" the other 3 don't work so well.....cheers to you Curtis :)
Take care!
these three ...Father Son and Holy Spirit...amen
Thanks a lot!
on the lame stream media point, it is what Voldemort did to Harry in Harry potter. He was isolating him to the point where he was on his own, and then he would be easier to take out, because he was on his own. Also human beings are social creatures, and we need to communicate. Self-isolation is going to be a death sentence, for people mentally, physically and spiritually.
Indeed because a truth us there is power in numbers and the stronger if the community can circle around to shield the vulnerable.
Very good video Curtis. Very good. All the best to you and your viewers.
Much respect, very few people have the capability to think anymore due to "social media influence" let alone think rationally, they prefer to "be first" with the rumours instead of doing real research into any topic that is sensationalized!!
May you and yourn ride this coming wave of a crash and we shall see you on the other side!!
Sharing!
Interesting this came up in my feed a year later. It's like you were looking into a crystal ball, sir.
Good character is gold
You’ve touched on a very good things. Thanks for the heads up
Good ,soled, sound advice.
Im trynna stockpile a years worth of tuna cans due to high protein and survivability. I know its not very filling but it is nutritious.
Great points I’m not lucky enough to have a homestead yet but I think community will be everything in a shtf situation and I’ve got some great people in my community but none preppers I would def take them in to help and I help them as for now I’m doing all I can to take care of my family store food for them and water and. Garden that’s about all I’ve got but enough where we can start finding other options on the mean time
ı love you man .... respect from turkey
Curtis (generally) where do you live? I'm in the far north of California.
I've been trying to spread the very same message but it seems to fall on deaf ears. Glad I found your channel
The first thing that they closed down in my country (Bulgaria ) were the farmers markets .Only the big stores are open .Im a small farmer like u and now they are making it almost impossible for us to reach our custumers.The big cities are on lock down - we can not reach our custumers
Well I am late just stumbled across your video I live in the Caribbean
Great video. Head heart and hands. Plenty of hands and a growing number of warm hearts....it’s the heads that concern me; like there is an acceleration in stupidity.
I'm disabled with minimal income black listed and set up years ago. Under constant watch.
Would love to start over off grid. But it takes time money and physical endurance.
good talk Curtis
Good job Curtis, thanks for the encouragement!
#ILoveIt #Facts #ThankYou
Good job
It all depends on how you want to talk about it. The current global financial system you call "A Scam" is one of the greatest systems mankind has ever seen. It has fueled the advancement of so many wonderful things (and bad obviously). I am still positive about the last 100 years of growth and development. Let's use this to clean up the bad half, like corruption and pollution and other things.
Just found your channel when listening to Luke and yourself, I'm very prepared in these aspects, good video bro
