Merry Christmas to you and your family Nate. Appreciate you and all the work you’ve put into your videos to help us learn via tutorials as well as the updates on current affairs and the frothy conversations 🎄❤️✨
I have been watching you for over 4 years. Thanks to you i became a prepper and bought a house in a small remote village in northern Portugal. I have planted 100 olive trees and fruit trees. This will be my retreat when things get tough. Thank you for all your daily analysis and prepping tools reviews.
Our grid went down for 17 days 6 months ago. No Internet, No TV, No phone Service, and limited radio. After a few days, for those of us older folks, it became enjoyable.
Yeah, I love my tech, but can easily go without. When crap goes down, I'm raiding the local library. Gotta have some good reading material and all of those how to books.
@@noonenowhere6920 Good. There is such a thing as tough love. There is a therapy for the withdrawals these kids will be going through. It’s called pushing them outside and telling them to be home by the time the street lights come on. Some side effects may occur.
Managed to talk an old co worker into preparing. Only took an ice storm with several days of no power for her to finally hear what I had been suggesting. She’s preparing now. One less person to worry about. Thanks for all you do. Merry Christmas.
As a librarian, I would like to remind people if the internet goes down, that libraries are important. To also say that it takes a master's degree in library and information science to have the knowledge and skills to run one. It takes a lot to learn about book binding, conservation, restoration, inkier, printing, management etc. please realize you and your family depend on information and do not permit the libraries (or librarians for that matter) to be harmed. It is the last vestige of knowledge humanity will need. In the humble book.... To rebuild.
@@kevinstrade2752the average shelf life of a hard drive is 5-10 years. A typical book printed today lasts 30 or so if cared for. A book made of parchment and vellum etc can last centuries if well cared for. Yet the key is they all need care. That is where the most knowledge was lost. Due to the simple passage of time and books uncared for yellowing and ink with too high a PH, or humidity etc. destroying them . I would encourage preppers to view a public or university or school library, as an essential aspect of their preparedness. For few people can afford a private library of their own.

This channel inspired me to give “ emergency go bags” to each of my family members / relatives for Christmas presents. They have nicknamed me Henny Penny. Thank you Nate and to everyone in the community I’ve learned so many helpful tips from watching this channel and reading the comments. Wishing everyone and your families safe, happiness and health in 2025
Yeah, it sure will. Far better times before this technology took over people's lives. I hate technology, mobile phones, fake farcebook, instagram and only like YT for a few different things. Far better times before the internet /phones/social media took over people's lives.
Even the calling and talking to friends or girlfriend on the phone for hours at night! But it was way better times back then of just going to places to skate and talk with people! It would be rough, but would be nice for a reset back to 80's life!
I miss Saturday night at the roller rink and writing letters. I spent the 80’s on the sunset strip in the clubs… crazy hazy times but good memories. My kids have no idea a real social life is , they really want the life we took so for granted . I’d love for them to be able to experience it . Unfortunately when the grid goes down it won’t be good times . It’ll be survival of the fittest .
You are not the only one who is experiencing problems. I would say about half the people i watch are going through the same thing. Please keep doing what your doing we need you! Merry Christmas!
Here is what I’ve noticed with YT. If I click on ONE video that is outside my norm. Now, 90% of the feed has that genre. It’s aggravating. They don’t give us any credit to have a wide variety of interests. Kinda keeps me from clicking on certain videos.
I also noticed about a year ago, for me personally. I can’t use the “n” word, no, not the racial slur. The word that relates to missiles and bombs. I have posted and I can see my comment/post. But then if I log off and go and look, it’s gone, like David Copperfield kind of magic. Crazy.
Same. I mostly watch informational videos, but sometimes I click on something dumb, for a laugh. Then all of a sudden, all YT gives you is dumb. There is definitely an agenda to keep us ignorant.
Merry Christmas Nate 🎄🎁⛄🎄🎁⛄. If the Internet goes down,we are prepared but we will miss you and your take on things. Not only have you helped us get physically and materially prepared but you gave us a different way to see the world and it's happenings. Thank you so much for all your and your crews hard work. I know you will survive most of anything that's coming but could you pray for the rest of us? I pray for you and your help weekly. Keep going as long as you can. We love you 🥰
Yes, we would miss Nate. Miss seeing his kids growing up along side his videos. Miss his slapstick humor with his different characters. Definitely miss the valuable information he gives us. Lets hope it doesn't get that bad and if it does Nate's videos should have taught us how to better survive. Thanks Nate and Merry Christmas to all.
We think you hit the nail on the head... when you questioned if your channel has become the machine.... I know we really liked your channel more when it was small....When it was more intimate... when we could relate more... then things went big then bigger.... the store... great idea ...but people like us can't even afford to shop... we are homeless... disabled... 45/52 yr old... self named Poor American Reject Preppers... We like the videos when the studio was your vehicle. All that said... we are prepping as much as is possible for peppers like us waiting for SHTF.
Seven weeks sober thanks for the inspiration Nate. I wasn't the biggest drinker to begin with, but I don't want that crutch when it all comes crashing down.
If social media goes down, I have 2 different feelings, 1st , life was so much better before google, and 2nd, I've gained so much-needed knowledge and insights from TH-cam.
Ur right, it's just dumb people will use the internet for dumb things and not the infinite knowledge that it can bring, I'm really in for a dystopia where the elites will give an IQ test and if u fail ur not allowed to procreate anymore
I’ve been getting into books here recently, and I gotta say reading a physical book and just sitting there and just getting encompassed into it is just another feeling entirely, and I got it sitting in front of a window in the morning getting embraced by the sun while reading is just another kind of vibe entirely
all electronic storage media will fail. Some will fail much sooner than others, but all will. Store on disc, stick and in a safely stored computer, but, back yourself up with physical print media, BOOKS!
CDs are a really good option, but like you said, a lot of electronics are probably going to get targeted too if an EMP or just a grid failure happens. Books are honestly the best option. You can’t get rid of a book unless you discard it or something like a natural disaster happens. A book will last about forever; actually, I’ve been reading up on it, and it’s about 300 years if kept in perfect conditions. Books are the best options.
I've managed to do it a couple times with just websites. one of them was ted chiangs "understand" the other I don't think my brain wants to let me remember yet.
I LOVE books you can hold in your hand. Our daughter does ebooks, I like the ones I can touch and hold...not read off a computer. My bookcases are loaded with books.
Merry Christmas Nate! I have watched you for the last couple years and I have seen how much, as a father, you love your family. They are young and may not appreciate or understand what you do for them right now, but I promise when they grow up, they will.
Keep up the good work Nate. We love you so much!! I been watching you so many years before the news, you have the best quality stuff in your shop. I love my go bag, and so much more I have purchased. My silky saw is very helpful on my farm. I am so much more ready than I was 6 years ago. It’s a never ending process and you make it so helpful. Thank you for all you have done this year and many more to come❤
I have all the original children's movies from Disney that were put on vhs and i have tons and tons of other vhs series & movies. A ton from adult to children.
Big Nate ,been following you since 2019 ,listen bro we are so fricking close to full shut down ,end of time. To put it into perspective I would be very shocked to see xmas next year. The days of repressing the truth are over
@@BushcraftExplained well I can only speak for myself when I say "Canada 51st state?,Be all over that,tell u what you guys ( original US) U can take Quebec in the olympics that way, we in ontario can catch up with laying some hits on those french boys,
I love you videos and all the information you provide. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family. I miss some of the old videos when you did the winter camping and showing the survival side of it.
I remember when the power went out one time… we lit candles and blew the dust off a MONOPOLY board game. The fun and laughter was incredible. The power came back on and reality quickly returned.
Try Risk, my wife and I play it with our older kids and we all love it. We made family game nights a priority several years ago and it’s made our family much stronger. We have 6 kids, all homeschooled, so family cohesion is big for us.
I live in Serbia 🇷🇸 and I can see the following on Google and through connected networks, 50% less can be seen by my brother who lives in Switzerland🇨🇭 censorship in the west is rigorous
So interesting wow we all need to diversify to Rumble, VPN, etc, new learning curve... I first learned to seek out alternatives during the so-called Ara*b Spri*ng. At that time, Twitter was the freedom "channel", after other internet was shut down, in entire nations. Msm was either a joke or silent, while the "little bird" had real time reports from real people in Egy*pt, Yem*n, & Tunis*a, that I was able to verify through friends as well.
Merry Christmas ❤ The Internet going down SOUNDS great, until it actually happens and people truly realize just how reliant for EVERYTHING on the Internet we've become. It'll be total chaos, but the outcome... Hopefully important lessons are learned and we realize we need each other way more than we realize. Prepare for the best but expect the worst.. Realist.
I have been around for years...under different names, etc. you are truly the one that lays it out... No sugar coating and my opinion....you always seem to know exactly what your talking about.... I will always find you as long as there's net....then I'm still going to keep looking 💪
I've shared your videos to others. Thank you for your videos. I've learned so much from people like you, Alaska pepper and others. Things that my parents should have taught me, BASIC survival stuff. Basic things every human should know. Thank you for that. Thank you for helping to expand my mind and educating me on so many things I didn't know. That is a gift that is priceless!
I forward your videos to those who I feel will take your content to heart, as I do.. Expanded my garden with cold tolerant vegetables.. works very well to have vegetables all year long.
I started buying books in 2020. It’s amazing all the beautiful books available at Goodwill. Most cost less than $2. I’m prepared to possibly not having any social media available, if it happens. ❤
Keep up the great work! I’ve been watching for 3 years now and am grateful I found this channel. The realistic approach and common sense is the reason I keep coming back daily, keep learning and prepping should that day ever come….🙏
I noticed that when googling for an image, I used to see almost infinite results, to the tune of dozens of very related to the keywords. Now 10 to 15 results or less, even to the insane "no results", this is madness. This is definitely intentional. The internet is being censored and killed slowly by the powers that be.
One thing that also happens with content creators like yourself is that you have inspired folks to seek out other channels in addition to yours - who may also be being limited by a glass ceiling or even a false lower number of viewers & views. So, collectively, the numbers of awake & ready are still growing, perhaps "safely" outside of the algorithm opression radar! You make a huge difference. The full truth may come out years from now. 💝
I want to thank you and your crew and you family for all the hard work you have put in all year long. Putting out the much needed information we all need. Keep up the amazing work. Merry Christmas and have a happy new year.
Love your content. Because of you, I’ve invested in survival books & prepping supplies. Texas here. I’ve prepared the best I can & hope to be both physically & mentally ready for day “X”
I completely relate to this. Back in late 2019 and early 2020, I began my own journey into “prepping,” likely similar to many others. I noticed the virus worsening before it was even on the radar in the U.S. As a beginner in this new prepping landscape, I turned to TH-cam to help me understand what supplies I actually needed for preparedness. "Guns were definitely a priority." During that time, using the filters on TH-cam proved incredibly helpful. I had no interest in videos from teenagers showcasing makeshift weapons like baseball bats with nails and barbed wire. It was 2019, and we had guns available. "I get it-ammunition can run out," but I wasn’t going to rely on a DIY zombie bat to protect my home when a real firearm was just a purchase away. Thanks to those filter settings, I stumbled upon a wealth of useful content, including your channel, which contributed a lot to where I am now. However, today it’s a different story. Even as a subscriber to your channel, I find that using the same filters yields no satisfactory results. It’s odd how I can’t see your videos or even your channel unless I type in the exact title or name. Instead, it presents state channels or news segments like “How to prepare for this upcoming winter” or “FEMA's recommendations for home preparedness,” which are honestly quite underwhelming. What’s even stranger is that when I search for specific terms, it will show a handful of relevant videos, but then throw in a mix of recommended content, followed by videos I’ve partially watched. It’s perplexing. Now, I’ve stopped using the search filters altogether since they don’t lead me to what I’m actually looking for. Instead, I've just subscribed to a few prepping channels and now I’m just waiting for their next uploads.
Merry Christmas Nate and thank you for your continued efforts, quality content and alternative perspective. I’ve tried to download some of your most important videos and stored on extras device along with other info (faraday bag protected) along with music, books, etc. Best wishes to you and your family in the year ahead - I suspect it will be a wild one.
My grandson at 6 was addicted to TH-cam. Seriously addicted to the point of taking his parents iPads knowing how to hack the changed passwords. He is no longer allowed on TH-cam in any shape or form. He has his own child game pad. He wasn’t watching anything nefarious he just couldn’t stop watching. The algorithm has definitely gotten strange even in the U.S. it is difficult to find what you are looking for and find small channels to support.😊 stay happy man!
Thank you for everything you have done. You’ve reached many and perhaps more than you know. Everyone is not meant to make it. Knowledge applied is wisdom. Keep prepping my brother and Happy Holidays to you and your beautiful family 👍🏾👍🏾🦾🦾
Brother I feel you 100% TH-cam in the early 00’s was raw and uncensored real news so glad i could experience that time. Honestly I think there are a good number of people who want free unbiased real news but we don’t have a platform, everything is regulated or controlled this is a burning question that’s in the back of all our minds that we want an answer to or solution.
I hope and pray that everyone is more prosperous in 2025!! Just stay focused and prayed up. And buckle up because the enemy comes to steal, kill and destroy. God bless🙏✝️😘🇺🇲
What I miss is TH-cam (and social media) how it was about 10 years ago where even big content creators could say controversial things without getting canceled. And before strict guidelines dictated what and how people could say certain things. Since about 2016 things have gone more and more restricted.
Nate, yourself and your team are doing a fantastic service for everyone that is fortunate enough to find your channel. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Canadian comrades.
This is why it's so vital to download and catalogue info for if the grid goes down. Or even better collect and keep books on all these lost arts and info for everything.
@@taoist32solar exists these days. So many portable power stations around and laptop/ tablets aren't big power draw. '4k video downloader' allows for TH-cam video downloading as well as downloading whole playlists. I've got about 2Tb of TH-cam downloaded just in case
I’m hearing the same kind of complaint from several people I watch in the last 3 months. I hope and pray things get better for all of us to learn and understand what we are facing!
If the grid & Internet goes down, it will either be a Jericho type situation, or a Mad Max type situation. I hope that most people take a stance that they want their community to survive & thrive, not just their immediate family & friends. I'd rather have a community than a gang or cult. A community is a step toward bringing a normal lifestyie back.
Supply chains are now totally dependent on the internet. No internet, stores will have issues getting restocked, and probably payments as well since the use the internet for debt & CC transactions.
A couple a Canadian Preppers shows ago, the guest stated, " its easier to feed your neighbors rather than kill them". That really made me think hard and differently.
@@guytech7310 For the past couple of years the supply chain has been dwindling down. It all started with the suez canal. China have been buying up rice and wheat because they know what's coming. The US, were having food flown in which also raised the prices in the stores. Nothing is ever a coincidence. We are watching the controlled demolition which has been planned for years. I'm in the UK and someone was telling me a few days ago how bare some of the shelves were looking. I asked when they first started to notice and they said to me, the past 9 months or so. I first noticed about 2 years ago how the gaps in some stores were beginning to look quite prominent. I'd see promotion stuff down numerous aisles to try and disguise the huge gaps. I was also struggling to get hold of a few things that once used to be easily available. Savers in the UK which supply cleaning stuff and toiletries have had supply issues for well over 2 years now. The shelves look dire most of the time when I happen to pop in to this particular store. I just hope people are ready/prepared because when the internet goes down along with ATM machines, people that haven't been paying attention to what's going on will no doubt turn to the streets. Should that happen, no one in their right mind will even want to leave their home because it will be sheer chaos in towns/cities right across western nations.
When the internet goes down, word of mouth goes up, theres unity in community, and this is what will happen, back to the times that once were. This will be the elites downfall, and they know it!
Yep. And the government could shut down the internet whenever they want, especially in the past 4 years. But I'm sure they need it more than us bc it's how they keep track of the pulse of the people through sm platforms & what were all catching on to as far as their nefarious shennagins. It helps them know how to drive their narratives.
Right Nate. We are in an individualized censored hole based on YT algorhythmic parameters for countries, youth watchers for fun content etc. The majority of hardline opinionated content is not appearing in the stream as it used to. We will see what 2025 brings. Thank you Nate for all you and the team does to bring intelligent content. You are one of a kind.🎉
On my Midland weather radio I got a required weekly test alert when It’s been quiet since the end of summer. Something is definitely in the works and evil stirs. I’ll be watching your channel until I can’t, Nate.
I got that test on my midland radio. I think it’s a routine test. It’s like the big test when they hit all the TVs , radios and phones on a annual basis
Nate, I love your channel. I appreciate all the" how to videos" along with your analysis of recent news. Your intelligent breakdown of what is going on in the world is unmatched by any other content I can find. I show my appreciation by purchasing merch! Thank you for making me a better prepper, all the best to you in the New Year, God Bless.
Thank you for always being transparent.. and releasing vids at different times.... Now my turn at being transparent.... I was homeless and institutionalizing myself further and further into Uber uselessness. I'm coming up on a year of holding down paying rent, staying out of trouble, and learning about my self and thanks to you, preparedness. You have been a role model to me. You are brilliant and articulate. And have a sense of humor that's overlooked a lot . Something I relate to... ✌️ 🕊️
I found out about this channel watching another creators show. Someone in the comments said they watched Canadian Prepper… but the things they learn are scary😬! I’m glad I read that person’s comment and found this channel!
Merry Christmas to all of you and your families! The reality of it is I hope we are all wrong about SHTF and we end up consuming our stockpiles without ever seeing our worst fears ! In case we are right well best of luck to all of you !
It is definitely easier now to do everything now over 200 years ago. If we have to go back to a time before communication, electricity, modern medicine and just in time delivery you are going to want everything you need for the first 2 years. The idea to me is make it thru two winters with everything i have and learn what the new normal will be and adapt. I have been stocking books on everything not just Beans, Bullets and Bandaids. The first year security and intelligence will be most important. Most likely statistically I won't make it but I will die trying. The second year knowledge is what will help you and others live. Don't forget Books!
Sorry my friend! When everything is down, people aren’t going to talk to each other, they’re going to launch kinetic projectiles at each other and then steal their neighbors supplies. Adapt! Improve! Overcome! Prepare now! Not later! I live in a very densely populated state in the NE. It will be utter chaos and destruction when everything goes down. There won’t be a safe place anywhere. Keep doing what you’re doing Nate! I’m an old guy and I try to get my family to prepare. They still think I’m nuts. I’ve been prepping since 911. I luckily have 2 neighbors who are like minded. Amen! Hallelujah. 🙏🏻Stay safe my brothers and sisters!!! 🇺🇸🇫🇮
I'm thinking your background is iconic for these times: a Christmas tree that still has lights, a prepper silhouette, and a fallout shelter sign. 🙄 Be well, be safe, we appreciate all you do!! Merry Christmas to You & Your Loved Ones! 🌲🌟💕
I have noticed going to the home page here that I used to get video suggestions from at least 20 different prep channels, and probably 35% of the suggestions were prep videos. Now can scroll down the entire page and maybe see 2 or 3 videos from only 3 channels at most even though if I go to the other channels I am subscribed to they have new videos I was never notified about or shown on my home page.
Merry Christmas and a happy new year to all, lets get er done this year eh!

TH-cam down! No Internet! Hopefully people will start talking to each other again.... miss those days.
That's exactly what happened after Helene hit and wiped out power internet and water grid.
As long as they have lots of frozen pizza and toilet paper
Sorry what i was reading a book can you repeat
Oof.
A world before the Internet when people actually went to see each other instead of FaceTime.
I have been watching you for over 4 years. Thanks to you i became a prepper and bought a house in a small remote village in northern Portugal. I have planted 100 olive trees and fruit trees.
This will be my retreat when things get tough.
Thank you for all your daily analysis and prepping tools reviews.
Why Portugal?
portugal! ahh, always been my dream! happy happy all to you!
Fruit will be an excellent bartering tool. Learn to can and preserve.
A country never touched by either WW1 or WW2.

Aye, a little annoying at first. But then you remember how awesome the quiet and a good book is.
What about emergency services. Where ambulances and stuff like that still available for emergencies?
@vanessahenderson1850 maybe they have 2 way radio in the ambulance 🚑
I bet it was great after a few day. I really wish all these gadgets were not here.
People need people
Where was this?
If the grid goes down and no more TH-cam? Well, good thing I’ve lived through that back in the 80’s, and 90’s.

Hope for the best.
Prepare for the worst.
Well Said!😂
No. Because then subconsciously you'll want your efforts not to be wasted and end up hoping for the exact reality you planned for
That's a very naive saying. Hope is something u say when you're desperate. Pray for the best that's a better quote

I loved the early 80's clubs, skating, gatherings ...
Actually socializing without electronics would do humans some serious greatness!
Yeah, it sure will. Far better times before this technology took over people's lives. I hate technology, mobile phones, fake farcebook, instagram and only like YT for a few different things. Far better times before the internet /phones/social media took over people's lives.

If social media goes down, I have 2 different feelings, 1st , life was so much better before google, and 2nd, I've gained so much-needed knowledge and insights from TH-cam.
Internet goes down , nothing works at all on earth!

Ur right, it's just dumb people will use the internet for dumb things and not the infinite knowledge that it can bring, I'm really in for a dystopia where the elites will give an IQ test and if u fail ur not allowed to procreate anymore
Remember, that you are very appreciated. Your content is gold.
Merry Christmas Nate and the Canadian prepper family
I’ve been getting into books here recently, and I gotta say reading a physical book and just sitting there and just getting encompassed into it is just another feeling entirely, and I got it sitting in front of a window in the morning getting embraced by the sun while reading is just another kind of vibe entirely
all electronic storage media will fail. Some will fail much sooner than others, but all will. Store on disc, stick and in a safely stored computer, but, back yourself up with physical print media, BOOKS!
CDs are a really good option, but like you said, a lot of electronics are probably going to get targeted too if an EMP or just a grid failure happens. Books are honestly the best option. You can’t get rid of a book unless you discard it or something like a natural disaster happens. A book will last about forever; actually, I’ve been reading up on it, and it’s about 300 years if kept in perfect conditions. Books are the best options.
I've managed to do it a couple times with just websites. one of them was ted chiangs "understand" the other I don't think my brain wants to let me remember yet.

I remember when the power went out one time… we lit candles and blew the dust off a MONOPOLY board game. The fun and laughter was incredible. The power came back on and reality quickly returned.
Monopoly is the best table game to play when grid is town

Try Risk, my wife and I play it with our older kids and we all love it. We made family game nights a priority several years ago and it’s made our family much stronger. We have 6 kids, all homeschooled, so family cohesion is big for us.
When the power came back on you were dragged back into the vortex of unreality.
Monopoly hey. That’s the whole reason for our problems and the destruction of capitalism and the takeover of government
Thank you nate and team. us 300,000 are here for you. till the lights go out. appreciate you all happy holidays!
I live in Serbia 🇷🇸 and I can see the following on Google and through connected networks, 50% less can be seen by my brother who lives in Switzerland🇨🇭 censorship in the west is rigorous
Lol
Be wise to use NordVPN for accessing information that is being censored by Canada, USA, and other Woke nations.
Censorship in the Netherlands is that worse that i can't see my own comment, its get delete while i'm writing... Serious!
Greetings from Germany🇩🇪
only with VPN or different devices I get fresh new search results or suggestions on YT or others 🤷♀️
So interesting wow we all need to diversify to Rumble, VPN, etc, new learning curve...
I first learned to seek out alternatives during the so-called Ara*b Spri*ng. At that time, Twitter was the freedom "channel", after other internet was shut down, in entire nations.
Msm was either a joke or silent, while the "little bird" had real time reports from real people in Egy*pt, Yem*n, & Tunis*a, that I was able to verify through friends as well.
Merry Christmas ❤ The Internet going down SOUNDS great, until it actually happens and people truly realize just how reliant for EVERYTHING on the Internet we've become. It'll be total chaos, but the outcome... Hopefully important lessons are learned and we realize we need each other way more than we realize.
Prepare for the best but expect the worst.. Realist.
Amen bro! Thank you and Happy Holidays to you and your entire family! God bless
I have been around for years...under different names, etc. you are truly the one that lays it out... No sugar coating and my opinion....you always seem to know exactly what your talking about.... I will always find you as long as there's net....then I'm still going to keep looking 💪
I've shared your videos to others. Thank you for your videos. I've learned so much from people like you, Alaska pepper and others.
Things that my parents should have taught me, BASIC survival stuff. Basic things every human should know.
Thank you for that. Thank you for helping to expand my mind and educating me on so many things I didn't know. That is a gift that is priceless!
I forward your videos to those who I feel will take your content to heart, as I do.. Expanded my garden with cold tolerant vegetables.. works very well to have vegetables all year long.
Merry Christmas! Thank you for your insightful geopolitical analysis and thorough intel research over the past year!
I save books.. If the internet goes down..what are you going to read or research? Never throw your books away. I always look for old books.
I started buying books in 2020. It’s amazing all the beautiful books available at Goodwill. Most cost less than $2. I’m prepared to possibly not having any social media available, if it happens. ❤
I have thousands hard copy editions. I don’t have anymore room in my house.
@@alexsandrarokas7117 Just think we will be in turn the keepers of the library for the community...like in the past.
It takes so much space for books, but I’m with you.
Keep up the great work! I’ve been watching for 3 years now and am grateful I found this channel. The realistic approach and common sense is the reason I keep coming back daily, keep learning and prepping should that day ever come….🙏
I noticed that when googling for an image, I used to see almost infinite results, to the tune of dozens of very related to the keywords. Now 10 to 15 results or less, even to the insane "no results", this is madness. This is definitely intentional. The internet is being censored and killed slowly by the powers that be.
*slowly...is accurate. A slow simmer down.

TH-cam now only shows 4 or 5 recommendations
Before 100s were shown
@@01codblackops If it blinds us from the truth it's what they'll do
Absolutely. Image search on DuckDuckGo is much better than Google and has been for a while.
One thing that also happens with content creators like yourself is that you have inspired folks to seek out other channels in addition to yours - who may also be being limited by a glass ceiling or even a false lower number of viewers & views.
So, collectively, the numbers of awake & ready are still growing, perhaps "safely" outside of the algorithm opression radar!
You make a huge difference. The full truth may come out years from now. 💝
What truth?
I want to thank you and your crew and you family for all the hard work you have put in all year long. Putting out the much needed information we all need. Keep up the amazing work. Merry Christmas and have a happy new year.
Might try updating some of the older stuff from years back.
I don't know, I've enjoyed your content for years
Thanks Nate
Merry Christmas to all World Preppers from South Texas!
Merry Christmas from snowy cold MN!
Merry Christmas from San Antonio as well
Back at ya from East TN.
Love Texas ❤
Merry Christmas from NY
Love your content. Because of you, I’ve invested in survival books & prepping supplies. Texas here. I’ve prepared the best I can & hope to be both physically & mentally ready for day “X”
I completely relate to this. Back in late 2019 and early 2020, I began my own journey into “prepping,” likely similar to many others. I noticed the virus worsening before it was even on the radar in the U.S. As a beginner in this new prepping landscape, I turned to TH-cam to help me understand what supplies I actually needed for preparedness. "Guns were definitely a priority." During that time, using the filters on TH-cam proved incredibly helpful. I had no interest in videos from teenagers showcasing makeshift weapons like baseball bats with nails and barbed wire. It was 2019, and we had guns available. "I get it-ammunition can run out," but I wasn’t going to rely on a DIY zombie bat to protect my home when a real firearm was just a purchase away. Thanks to those filter settings, I stumbled upon a wealth of useful content, including your channel, which contributed a lot to where I am now.
However, today it’s a different story. Even as a subscriber to your channel, I find that using the same filters yields no satisfactory results. It’s odd how I can’t see your videos or even your channel unless I type in the exact title or name. Instead, it presents state channels or news segments like “How to prepare for this upcoming winter” or “FEMA's recommendations for home preparedness,” which are honestly quite underwhelming. What’s even stranger is that when I search for specific terms, it will show a handful of relevant videos, but then throw in a mix of recommended content, followed by videos I’ve partially watched. It’s perplexing.
Now, I’ve stopped using the search filters altogether since they don’t lead me to what I’m actually looking for. Instead, I've just subscribed to a few prepping channels and now I’m just waiting for their next uploads.
Merry Christmas and a happy New year to you too! Best wishes and happy holidays! 🇨🇦
Merry Christmas Nate and thank you for your continued efforts, quality content and alternative perspective. I’ve tried to download some of your most important videos and stored on extras device along with other info (faraday bag protected) along with music, books, etc. Best wishes to you and your family in the year ahead - I suspect it will be a wild one.
Merry Christmas Nate and kiddos
My grandson at 6 was addicted to TH-cam. Seriously addicted to the point of taking his parents iPads knowing how to hack the changed passwords. He is no longer allowed on TH-cam in any shape or form. He has his own child game pad. He wasn’t watching anything nefarious he just couldn’t stop watching. The algorithm has definitely gotten strange even in the U.S. it is difficult to find what you are looking for and find small channels to support.😊 stay happy man!
We are all being lead one way or another
Lately I get a lot of kitty vids. It’s cute but nowhere near the type of vid I intentionally search for
I'm 77 and I can't stop watching! In my defense, I live alone and don't have TV.
Thank you for everything you have done. You’ve reached many and perhaps more than you know. Everyone is not meant to make it. Knowledge applied is wisdom. Keep prepping my brother and Happy Holidays to you and your beautiful family 👍🏾👍🏾🦾🦾
Brother I feel you 100% TH-cam in the early 00’s was raw and uncensored real news so glad i could experience that time. Honestly I think there are a good number of people who want free unbiased real news but we don’t have a platform, everything is regulated or controlled this is a burning question that’s in the back of all our minds that we want an answer to or solution.
Almost every single reply and comment of mine gets deleted.
The alg is evil as well now and 90% of my fav ppl r shadow banned
I hope and pray that everyone is more prosperous in 2025!! Just stay focused and prayed up. And buckle up because the enemy comes to steal, kill and destroy. God bless🙏✝️😘🇺🇲
What I miss is TH-cam (and social media) how it was about 10 years ago where even big content creators could say controversial things without getting canceled.
And before strict guidelines dictated what and how people could say certain things.
Since about 2016 things have gone more and more restricted.
Like when magazines could be inserted? 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Nate, yourself and your team are doing a fantastic service for everyone that is fortunate enough to find your channel. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Canadian comrades.
This is why it's so vital to download and catalogue info for if the grid goes down. Or even better collect and keep books on all these lost arts and info for everything.
Where would you download that would save it from a total grid shutdown?
@taoist32 ive heard some keeping then on thumb drives. Even if the grid is down. Sosme can have access to computers. Just no internet.
@@UraniumHound Except a total grid shutdown means no electricity, unless you have several backup batteries to use.
Copied into USB or hard drives into duplicate and secure faraday cage protected locations 😊 @@taoist32
@@taoist32solar exists these days. So many portable power stations around and laptop/ tablets aren't big power draw.
'4k video downloader' allows for TH-cam video downloading as well as downloading whole playlists. I've got about 2Tb of TH-cam downloaded just in case
I’m hearing the same kind of complaint from several people I watch in the last 3 months. I hope and pray things get better for all of us to learn and understand what we are facing!
Happy Holidays to you all be safe and keep helping the less fortunate
Thanks for all you do Nate! We can use all the help we can get!
If the grid & Internet goes down, it will either be a Jericho type situation, or a Mad Max type situation. I hope that most people take a stance that they want their community to survive & thrive, not just their immediate family & friends. I'd rather have a community than a gang or cult. A community is a step toward bringing a normal lifestyie back.
Im thinking walking dead
Supply chains are now totally dependent on the internet. No internet, stores will have issues getting restocked, and probably payments as well since the use the internet for debt & CC transactions.
@@guytech7310They will have to ask old-timers to drive with a paper map.
A couple a Canadian Preppers shows ago, the guest stated, " its easier to feed your neighbors rather than kill them". That really made me think hard and differently.
@@guytech7310 For the past couple of years the supply chain has been dwindling down. It all started with the suez canal. China have been buying up rice and wheat because they know what's coming. The US, were having food flown in which also raised the prices in the stores. Nothing is ever a coincidence. We are watching the controlled demolition which has been planned for years. I'm in the UK and someone was telling me a few days ago how bare some of the shelves were looking. I asked when they first started to notice and they said to me, the past 9 months or so. I first noticed about 2 years ago how the gaps in some stores were beginning to look quite prominent. I'd see promotion stuff down numerous aisles to try and disguise the huge gaps. I was also struggling to get hold of a few things that once used to be easily available. Savers in the UK which supply cleaning stuff and toiletries have had supply issues for well over 2 years now. The shelves look dire most of the time when I happen to pop in to this particular store. I just hope people are ready/prepared because when the internet goes down along with ATM machines, people that haven't been paying attention to what's going on will no doubt turn to the streets. Should that happen, no one in their right mind will even want to leave their home because it will be sheer chaos in towns/cities right across western nations.
When the internet goes down, word of mouth goes up, theres unity in community, and this is what will happen, back to the times that once were.
This will be the elites downfall, and they know it!
Yep. And the government could shut down the internet whenever they want, especially in the past 4 years.
But I'm sure they need it more than us bc it's how they keep track of the pulse of the people through sm platforms & what were all catching on to as far as their nefarious shennagins.
It helps them know how to drive their narratives.
Unity and hunger don’t really mix

It is definitely easier now to do everything now over 200 years ago. If we have to go back to a time before communication, electricity, modern medicine and just in time delivery you are going to want everything you need for the first 2 years. The idea to me is make it thru two winters with everything i have and learn what the new normal will be and adapt. I have been stocking books on everything not just Beans, Bullets and Bandaids. The first year security and intelligence will be most important. Most likely statistically I won't make it but I will die trying. The second year knowledge is what will help you and others live. Don't forget Books!
Books. I would love to go back to reading books. Hard copy where you turn the pages.
