Just one item people should always have at least on on hand for every person in the household. A hot water bottle, these are amazing. When I had to go two winters without heat they were lifesavers. Another item is reusable ice packs. If you can get ice you can stay comfortable in the heat especially at night for sleeping . Place on your wrist or stomach.
@@titanpreparedness It must have. I don't think a lot of people know what a hot water bottle is. My wife needed a slip and I asked a girl in the women's department where the slips were. She did not have a clue that a slip was an undergarment that basically stops light from penetrating the dress and and revealing what is under the dress.
One thing i always use in Texas hurricanes is a 1500w pure sine wave inverter, hook up to car starter battery start engine and use car alternator as power source then run an outdoor extension cord to power things like microwave, tv, induction cooker...
Excellent! I also have spent time watching and trying to learn from others. Water, and fuel are huge for me. I have a large long term food supply, but not enough short term options. The biggest thing I have noticed is the neighbor helping neighbor, no lone wolf syndrome happened.
i also noticed that. a lot of the end of the world neighbors eating each other didnt happen even though many people said thats exactly what would happen during a big crisis
I make a diy or purchased a rocket stove primarily to boil water for all uses. The fuel for the rocket stove is readily Available and Cheap, water, in large quantities, is Very fuel intensive. I save my expensive fuels for cooking with that already hot water. In cold weather I also dis assemble my brick DIY Rocket stove, put the bricks into "shoe bags" and put them in the beds as warmers or wrapped up under cold feet. Just what has worked for me in the PacNW with out ice and snow and wind storms. 😊❤
the rocket stove is a great idea, especially one built from bricks. the bed warmer is a good idea as well, prevents you from using fuel to heat up a room
No, no, and....no. You're not going to have the time, nor the space, to purify enough water with UV light to sustain a family. Even if you had the space to set up a solar still, the sheer amount of water needed per person per day -- that's going to be someone's full-time job. I'm sorry, that's not practical. It *might* be able to supplement other sources of water, but on it's own, I don't really think that's either manageable or practical during a disaster. What's more, the product of a solar still is going to be distilled water - which is good for hydration, but is devoid of minerals - again, not sustainable. ...and if you're talking about a UV-C light source, where is the power to drive that coming from? If you want a low-cost solution, go to your pool store and get a container of powdered pool shock. 1lb of that is going to purify and make drinkable many gallons of water. Then, outfit each individual with two 1L Smart Water bottles, a Sawyer Squeeze, and a 3L CNOC water bladder. The pool shock is for mass water purification; the Sawyer Squeeze and containers are for personal use. It is important, as the video points out, to either boil or treat filtered water in a disaster with a secondary system to remove virii - and the vlog stresses that. Just by virtue of the fact that one is dealing with a disaster situation, stress, hard work and long hours are going to take a toll almost immediately, and that makes one susceptible to illness. A relatively simple viral infection is going to take a person down several notches more than usual, and flood waters also potentially have chemicals from abandoned vehicles, human and animal waste, and any number of other compounds that can not only take one out of the fight, but make one a casualty. So it's really important to be able to make whatever water source one comes across drinkable: these multi-stage methods accomplish this task with the least amount of expended human effort and tending. This provides overlapping capability that is portable.

i remember in basic we would use hot water in the canteens to keep us warm during fire watch. its surprising how much it helps out.

i heard of a lot of people using their cars battery during maria in PR. Use whatever works and will help get you through
Excellent!

great vid. straight to the. point. thanks
thanks for watching and commenting
Thanks for this practical list.
glad to help
Great information. Thanks for sharing.
thanks for taking the time to watch
I use a natural gas generator you can run them on propane too if you are in an area that does not have natural gas.
good choice as long as they dont shut off the Ng like they did during the storm
@ you can make them run on propane or whatever you put in those huge tanks people use in areas that don’t have natural gas.
@kennethwilson8633 right tri fuel. Gives you tons of fuel options. Good idea
Thanks for the video.

This is a great idea; noted.
Walmart sells a 3 stage Red Cross filter with a carbon stage fo $20 them use 2 drops clorox per quart.
havent looked into these yet. Are they a suck thru or a push thru system
@titanpreparedness they have threads to attach a bottle or bladder to push water through.
Consider the power of UV-C light treatment for water disinfection.

As Indonesian i suggest to boil ur drinking water.
@@N0LSD I think James is talking about a filter that uses a 12v UV light not UV from the sun to purify water.
@@waitandsee9345just going to say that boil water if your not sure and filter
@@Butterflylion1 yes, that's the most effective way to kill bacteria and viruses.
