Good vid Snake. How about network? Could be good to have some local buddies, real dependable buddies to coop with in a form of defense network . When shtf there is gonna be gangs and mobs looting.
The question is - do we have guts to survive? Many of us are able to do push ups but how many of us are able to do them despite of pain? Most people stop when it is painful. That is when survival starts
i have seen many overweight bubba types with their jacked up 4wd claiming what they can do,, BUT when it comes down to it they couldn't make one lap around said vehicle without having a MASSIVE heart attack
I'm not exactly in shape but I'm ready to dish out lots of pain. After 2020.... 🧐 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲 When I'm done you can take my junk and use it to its max. 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
My thing about prepping is that you can prep all you want and buy as much as you want but if you can’t get to the spot where everything is stored then what’s the point? I feel the best way to prep is to have a bug out bag in whatever vehicle you use with you at all times and take the time to perfect your survival skills in real nature. Like food hunting shelter first aid water and everything. If you have the funds then yes stock up on atleast a month to 3 months of food in your house or wherever. That will give you something to work towards in the case of a real survival situation. But Unless that location is secluded, I wouldn’t bet on being there to long and your clearly not going to have the power to carry years of food supply plus survival stuff. Your primitive skills will save you the most.
"Eat your heart out Silky", now that was worth a chuckle. FYI though the lentils can be germinated and eaten as sprouts, or you can plant the sprouts and grow more. I keep some in my INCH bag.
Great channel and logic. I've followed you for a while now and appreciate your content which is totally transferable even In my country, England. The first video I watched of yours was the tarp tipi with just a few ground pegs, and was amazed with the simplicity yet functionality. Top work and it's appreciated this side of the pond.
That's a great saw you got, the best imo with the best grip for a pull stroke. Cuts fast. We used them a lot and got a lot less noise complaints. Of course it's easier with the tree holding the branch for you and you got two hands on the saw with both shoulders working.
Prepping is about learning skills. Hunting and gathering. Because when blue beams come from above and turn your property to dust and melt your alloy wheels what you gonna do.
That looks like a pruning saw. I had a contest between a Fiskars pruning saw and a Corona pull saw on same diameter branch. I returned the Fiskars (took 62 cuts); the Corona took 19! I think the problem is the Fiskars or any pruning saw takes so many cuts as they are trying to seal the wound from cutting, while Corona just cuts the limb off in a hurry. I am still trying to get a hand ripsaw; they are $125 online. A friend has one he never uses, but won’t part with it. We’ll be back using hand tools once the grid goes out. Need to rip boards for thinner sizes, then hand plane down to size you need. I’m still learning, and I’m 76. I really like your channel.
Thank you for sharing. Is there anything you would suggest, or even a video, for us apartment dwellers? I did get rid of my nightstands and put a five cubic foot freezer on each side of the bed in my spare bedroom and turned the closet into a small pantry. I am sorry to admit I don’t have a firearm. Any suggestions on anything for a novice that’s not too hard to fire? I have arthritis in my hands that gets more than a little painful at times. Thank you for sharing. Blessed be.
I recommend going to a gun store and asking about options. They should be knowledge and have experience for your situation. Better to hold it and discuss it than just read about it. You have to be creative with apartment space. Sounds like a video idea. Thanks for watching and commenting!
I agree with Snake. Some places let you "rent" their guns, try them at the range and fire them yourself. A 22 pistol comes in MANY varieties, has extra power in some shells for protection and doesn't kick hard. The 32 option and 38 are decent too. Go and ask questions.
@@redfaux74, thank you for responding as well. There’s a gun shop down the street. I will visit them next week. Y’all have taught me I need to get the feel of a weapon in my own hands.
Prepping is a mentality, a lifestyle, and once you delve down the rabbit hole, I think there's no coming back. I have been serious for about two years now, and I wish I had started years earlier.
I can see the wisdom of using kerosene lamps and lanterns; but unless you have pretty high weeds and bushes or cut your own hay for your livestock, why the schyth? Antique only or possible use down the road. I used one as a boy. My sons had no idea of what it was for or how to swing it. Lost knowledge.
Right there with ya bud. I'd like to hear your opinion and experiences on canned goods past their best by date. I should have been better rotating my stuff but inevitably I feel like some canned goods for prepping isn't going to be used regularly enough and eventually after a 10 year period of prepping you'll find some old cans in storages.
"Can you Prep too much?" 🧐 (13:50) I found a miracle today. I was at "Office Max" today and saw a printer that was on my list. A color 556!?! 🥴 It was expensive but I snagged it. I thought it would be twice as much actually. They had ink cartridges for it too and I got those as well. As far as you go Snake, you've had camo on in all your 223 videos with the exception of 3 times I think. That gives you a 99.79% over kill prepper ratio.... Sorry brother. 🥴 You've got it bad! 🤣🤣🤣 Take 2 of these ASAP 🍪 and call me in the morning.... I think we can help you. Maybe... 🤪 Excellent video sir.
@@SurvivalTheory 😳 I've never had anyone pass up my homemade choc chip cookies before..... I'm speechless. You're lucky I can never find you in your camo anyway. 🤨 Very well, next video please....
@@SurvivalTheory - I hope you have a video coming soon. I'm 1,000 miles plus away from home and feeling the gitters set in. This video made me think I need to have a little more junk in my 2nd home away from home. I'm not naked but I need a little more just in case.
Peanut butter is a good protein but the longer it sits the more the creaminess goes away from the oil get to a point that you open it and you have to drain oil out of it happen to my own.
one philosophy i use, especially to "normies", is thinkin in terms of emergency preparedness. and from that base line try and determine what emergencies are MOST likely to occur to my household or in my area. and try to get all that would be needed for those first and keep those current. and that encompasses a whole lot to be sure but it becomes second nature after a while. and yeah i agree with you my man, you can spend too much time on prepping. i mean you have to live in the moment and enjoy life when you can. and you can also spend way too much on preps as well. the Word tells us a wise man will leave an inheritance for our grand kids. so with that being said you gotta use wisdom when prepping. just like everything else in life. great advice and reminders for the human race to live by sir. thanks.
Good approach, you two. Another is to focus on saving money by buying sale items that are high in fat and protein value but store well. For example, cans of herring when they sell for about 30% off once a month in cities. A couple of hundred dollars gets you a year's worth of vital nutrients and can take up only one plastic tote. There - one year of not starving as long as you have the home/apt. secured. Even Doritos count. Try lighting one on fire. Wow, that burns almost like a candle it has so much fat in it. The take up too much space for storing lots of them but buy 20 bags when they are on sale about 40% off. Butter on sale at about 1/2 price. Buy 10 for the freezer. Keep in mind the massive losses if electricity goes down and being left unprepared after preparing that way. Spaghetti sauce goes on sale regularly. Fill a shelf. Buy flour and yeast. Learn to make bread in a slow cooker/crock pot. Suddenly food costs go down. We are looking at massive massive food cost rise just beginning right now due to green visions and petro killing politicians taxing use of it and destroying the ability to get it to market. Get that food cost down and eat better...and safeguard at least for a while against shortages and the massive inflation coming. Then preparing in other ways becomes more obviously a good idea.
@@thankmelater1254 yeah man. always buy what you eat when it's on sale and get a few extra when you do. as for the butter you can clarify it and it will last years, just like dehydrating foods and vacuum sealing them in glass jars will extend the life of things you buy for years and years. with no worry about keepin anything frozen. and to help prove your point about food shortages and price increases go check out ice age farmer. it may just spur you even more like it did us.

Never talk about anything even privately you don't want them to know. I'm taking my aluminum hat off now guys..... Depcon 8.1 😕
How many of you have been "preppers" since the 70s' ? I well remember when "survivalist" was a bad word and authors like Ragnar Benson were the original survival gurus .
@Alpha Vector - Paladin Press went out of business years ago and Ragnars books are now impossible to find . He predicted long ago what modern consumer mentality survivors would become . I still have 21 of his original books and he had something like over 40 books total . Calling Benson a guru is a good way to put it .
