    Growing up, we always made jokes about how cheap my grandmother was because she reused styrofoam plates, dried paper towels to reuse them, saved foil, canned enough food to feed an army (so, it seemed). Once I got older, I learned about the great depression, during which my grandmother was a teen. Now, as a 52 year old, I fully understand.

    Long time viewer first time commenting. When I started to be concerned about having enough food and water in case of emergencies your channel was one of the first, I watched. That was 5 years ago. You are to blame for sending me down the rabbit hole of prepping and overall survival. Well, I can tell you I have no regrets. Besides being prepared for future events it has become a hobby of educational endeavors rekindling the skills I have long forgotten. Simple things our forefathers used every day to survive have been replaced by a life of convivence. I now have a bob, a 72-hour bag and a car bag plus supplies of everything in this video. More importantly I know how to use them. (Axe, knife, tarp etc). Thank you for the videos. God bless my friend.

    My prepping journey has rekindled my interest in candle making as a hobby. I love my candles, from tea lights and birthday candles to gallon size, multiwick long lasting types, you can save a bunch of money by making your own. Be sure and do full burn tests on any candles you buy or make so that you know what kind of performance to expet in an emergency. Be safe out there and follow all of the safety rules for using candles around the house.

    Canned food lasts longer than the "Best By" date.
    I store my canned goods in my unfinished basement that has a fairly consistent temperature of about 55°F, year round.
    Last Summer, I opened and ate a can of Chef Boy Ar Dee "Cheesy Burger Macaroni" with a "Best By" date of 2012. It tasted kind'a bland, and I didn't suffer any ill effects.
    Stable temperatures are really important when it comes to stored food.

    Long time subscriber and wanted to say thank you for all the content over the years. I've got so many preps based on your videos from modified mora knives to molle backrest seat kits for my truck. One thing I would love to see you do a video on is finding prepping items at garage sales. My wife and I have found so many gems from medical books (also a fan of paperback literature lol) to tools and even precious metals. It's amazing what people are willing to get rid of for a cheap price and in our economy that's a bonus. I know there's a lot of content on the subject but none with your expertise to help folks out who are getting started.

    Great video. Probably more prudent than a lot of people understand.
    Canned food, as you stated, can last for a very long time. As with most items, keep in normal temperatures. I was always told, if the can isn't swollen or rusty, it is probably good. Expiration dates are imposed by the government, most items never actually expire. Some canned items will start to lose some flavor as they get older.
    Be smart, ask anyone you can find that lived in the depression time frame, or even someone that has immigrated from Africa or areas that don't have electricity, running water. Have a group of friends / family that think like you and will help, before and or after bad situations. Strength in numbers.
    God bless ya'll and stay safe out there in this crazy world.

    Grandma used to talk about her life growing up extremely poor, and how foraging for wild edibles and setting fish traps/hunting supplied almost half of what they ate. She also taught us to dig burdock root, cook dandelion greens, identify shrooms, and how to make tons of teas out of a plethora of plants and trees, and how to gather and prepare all kinds of other wild edibles. This skillset should also be practiced along with other skills and stocking up. Supplementing our preps with the ability to get food from nature would be a big help, should we go mad max. I don't know how realistic it would be to completely live off of nature in this day and age. But being able to get at least some stuff can do nothing but help. I know a lot of preppers who rely so much on their stockpiles, that they take no time to learn about the food and supplies that nature provides.

    Something I've been concentrating on recently is steel tools (garden equipment) and bladed weapons (swords/knives). Because of their highly centralized production, few today have the knowledge, experience, or equipment to product them. In a post societal collapse world, the situation will be worse, they'll be extremely difficult to replace, the best one can hope for will be the repair of existing ones or finding old stock of already made ones and even that will be limited. Good steel will be worth more than gold.

    Sheet plastic to aid in isolating the inside of the house from the outside. Duct tape will hold it in place. Why would you need to use it? Heavy smoke or chemicals in the air? The plastic will help create a barrier to aid in separating you from it. Another hasty means of hanging sheet plastic: cut to size, reinforce the edges with duct tape, and use a T50 construction stapler to hang the plastic up via the reinforcing tape, and then tape over the edges to seal the plastic sheets. All doors, windows and outside vents should be sealed off, untill the "all clear" is given.

    I hope this helps somebody. I am going through a serious health problem right now related to undereating, simply because I don’t enjoy eating. I’ve almost died 6 times in as many months. I asked the doctors “why does everyone say you can live 3 weeks without food but I go 2 days and go into contortions and nearly have heart attacks?” He said because most people are running around on at least a half tank, you’re that guy that pulls into the gas station with the needle on the pin. And it isn’t all about calories, the most important actually are things like potassium and magnesium. Look for that. You need around 4000mg of potassium a day to survive, a quart of Gatorade has about 125. Potatoes and most meats are best, contrary to the popular banana belief, they really don’t have that much.My point is, eat well while you can so you have those 3 weeks in reserve

    Replacing garden seeds every 2-3 years can get a bit pricey! I bought all heirlooms once and once only, then saved seeds at the end of the summer and winter growing seasons from a small garden I have so I can rotate my old seeds out for fresh ones every season. Its also allowed me to harvest and save a lot of seeds so if I do have to grow all of my own food I will have enough seeds to get me through. It will also allow me to have some to barter with for what I dont have or I need. Gardening is a skill you need to practice now even if on a small scale. There is more to it than tilling the soil and throwing some seeds down. Solar lights are awesome and I get a six pack of them every year even if I dont need them to use as emergency light. Just make sure you get the special batteries they require too. Walmart usually has them in a couple of sizes so that after a year or so when they no longer work I can replace them cheaply.

    • @randymartin5521

      In my experience, if seeds are stored in a dark, temperature and humidity controlled environment, like in a pantry cabinet, they'll last longer than a couple years. We moved cross country 3 years ago and a bunch of seeds that had been stored in a cabinet in the kitchen and forgotten about made the move with us. I just got around to planting a few things at our new home this year and the seeds from 2017 (carrots), 2018 (radishes) and something from 2019 but I don't remember now what that is, have all, or at least almost all, sprouted. Actually, everything I planted is from at least 2 year old seeds. Maybe not all seeds last that long, but I'd think replenishing seed stock every four years would suffice.

    In a grid down situation you won't be able to buy anything at a store. Everything is computerized and if there's no power there are no computers which means no way to ring up items. I can't even remember the last time I saw a price tag on anything, its all scanned by a computer, so there won't even be the option of a cashier totalling up items by hand and figuring sales tax, not that any of them know how to do that any more anyway.

    im not so sure about the regular bic lighters anymore. just yesterday i pulled one out of a pack and the wheel was stuck to the flint. then it broke the flint when i tried to light it, then it spins freely and is useless. this happens alot to me. seems like if you use it and let it sit, it will freeze up like this esp w humidity. so dont use them until you have to, store in plastic bags. otherwise fairly reliable if used on a regular basis. of course you should have other fire sources but i think the torch lighters are also unreliable bc they are under pressure and will lose fuel over time. so keep those empty until ready to use stored next to refill cans. im trying the newer bic ez reach, push button lighters bc they are easier to use but i cannot speak to their reliability. no child safety wheel either which i usually take out w needle nose. the similar long reach grill lighters are also handy.

    • @bobcostas9716
      @bobcostas9716 หลายเดือนก่อน

      This is correct. Bic lighters will expire over a couple of years. What happens is that moisture gets in and basically welds the "flint" to the tube that it's in. Perhaps it's a reaction with the spring, perhaps something else. Either way it does happen. What you want to stockpile is the actual flints themselves from Bic lighters, a couple of Zippo lighters (or knockoffs), and fuel. The flints from Bics will fit in Zippos so if you have a friend that smokes ask them for their empty lighters and take the flints out. Of course you can buy Zippo flints as well and you can put nearly as many as you like in the cotton batting of the Zippo without significantly affecting the fuel capacity. Fuel for Zippos can be almost anything. A gallon of naptha from the hardware store, leftover mix gas from last year, denatured alcohol, diesel, kerosene, or what have you. Obviously it's best to stick with the recommended fuel, but the ability to use other things is pretty clutch. Don't overfill, and use caution.

    At 58 and having a medical mj card, no gun for me sadly so i decided to buy a full metal slingshot and a bag of river rocks. I also plan to use chemical warfare, cans of bear mace. Anything i can keep in jars to slow them down, from toilet cleaners to drain cleaners. Just little glass jars already made and marked. Sadly this is also apartment living, so no traps or the like. But being on the 3rd floor, we all could barricade the steps up, think zombies...lol
    My fear is a black out over summer up here, even with all windows open, there's no cross breeze. I use to use a magnetic screen for the front door but that wouldnt be safe. But thinking anything to keep it open less than an inch would allow a cross breeze to happen, barricaded with that small opening.
    You should have cash but small bills only. 1s, 5s and 10s.
    For cheap fire and lighting make up cooking oil lamps. Run two pieces of 1 inch wicks in steel wool balls, put into can to have ready to add the vegetable oil. The bigger the wicks the better the light and heat. If the can gets knocked over the fire goes out. For thousands of years oil lamps lit the world.

It was explained that this was an opportunity of a lifetime, and to invest now as the price will soon skyrocket. Can anyone tell me the names of 5 banks that are currently using XRP to process cross-border transactions, to include the number of completed transactions per month, and the total dollar volume of those transactions? Bank adoption started 10 years ago, so surely there are some encouraging reports to review. Or is there nothing to report?
