Good points. Flowed nicely. Prepping is not a sin. Noah was told to get ready. Joseph was given dreams to prep for a famine. All through the Bible. God is in charge but we need to do, action. I pick prepping channels I can learn skills off of & not ones that are over dramatic. Living in Atlantic Canada & being a Girl, security is more an issue due to our country's limitations on legal choices. So any ideas on that, I would be in interest it! Thanks for sharing & God Bless!
Amen. I'm tired of people saying oh I'm trusting Jesus to feed me.. Hello Noah, Joseph do people even read the Bible anymore? I don't think he expects us to sit and do nothing.. Or go on vacations but not prepare..
The world is missing more men like you who take responsibility for their family. It is the Godly thing to do and is in God’s will. I’ll take that “toxic masculinity “ all day long! May God continue to bless and keep you.
Great video. Everyone needs to find their "comfort spot" and know their limitations like you said. My husband is 72 and his health is going down hill a bit, I'm 62. We have a mini farm and have always stocked up on just about everything since it's quite a drive to local stores. We also are Christians, we prep for ourselves and have also been led to keep some things on hand to share if needed. At our age I'm pretty sure we won't be surviving a major event. I can't see how we could survive and live like in the 1800's at our ages. Most people didn't live past 40 or 50 back then, life was hard. As a Christian we have that assurrance that the Lord has us in his hand. It's hard not to let anxiety rule. I look at Joseph in the Bible and how he had put aside grain that saved his people in the long run as well as the Egyptians. We should all do what we can to provide for ourselves and pray it's not as bad as some people predict.
" Your lack of preparedness does not constitute an emergency on my part." my husband's favorite saying. About People who wait until the day before a major trip to get major mechanical work done.
Kevin my binge is still ongoing and every moment I have I take. One at a time and I will get there. Take care we need need people like you and Michelle. 🙏🕊💐
I can so relate to what you are saying. My husband and I are a bit older than you and Michelle. 71 and 65. But we also live in a very small apartment with not much room to store my preps. My husband isn't able to help much because of his physical condition. I probably have a year's worth of food put away in totes and on a 5 tier shelve thing I bought. My 43 year old daughter is the only one who knows and I trust her completely. We have keys to each other's apts. I am very closed mouth to everyone else. Thank you so much for getting your TH-cam channel up an running. It has been such a blessing!
Hi Melody. Thank you so much. We love to read comments like this. Happy to hear you’re doing what you can in your space for your circumstances. I’m especially happy to hear about you having a daughter to share this experience with. 🙂. Thank you for watching.
Something I'd like to contribute info on is a book that came into my possession just this last week entitled "Your Inside Guide to the Emergency Department: And Having to Prevent Having to Go"This is a book written by a Canadian Dr so its all Canada based. I've gotten this for my son in law, my daughter and their kids. They live on an acreage and its 20 minutes to the nearest hospital. If there's a problem that can be avoided with having to call an ambulance or a run into town, I'm all for it. That's why I invested in it. If prepping is a sin, then why do the people who follow the Mormon faith have food storage for their families for up to 2 years per person? To me it's good to have some things set aside in your cupboards just in case. Where I live, there are some food shortages so being prepared is no bad thing.
This was so on point. As a senior lady in the USA living in an apartment complex specifically for independent seniors, it is important to plan ahead. U fortunately, many of my neighbors either just don't do it or are unable in several realms not to be able to prep. Everything you spoke about was critical now. I look forward to your posts. Thank you and keep them coming!!!🙂
Thank you Jeanne. We live in a seniors building as well. No one we know in here is preparing. I am happy this video was received well. We have a lot of neighbours who physically couldn’t prep. Thanks for watching. 🙂
Knowing your limits is important. Folks keep telling me I could buy half a cow and save money if I purchased a freezer. My answer is no : 1] live in an apartment 2] the extra electricity cost 3] no one to help move freezer in 4] one person half a cow would last me for years 5] cost of the freezer 6] happy with what I am already doing 7] live on a 2nd floor apartment and have to limit weight of items I carry due to back and leg pain Thank you so much for doing this video talking about limits and sensible prepping is needed during this time of other channels pushing fear preppin
We live in a large old farm house with a ton of storage inside and barns. If you can, spread out your prep storage areas. Recession to depression is coming.
I enjoy your channel. You have alot of common sense. You are not a chicken little with "the sky is falling" . And you are comfortable with when the end comes and what will happen and we who believe will be in a safer place. Thank you for all you are doing.
My dad always kept a well stocked pantry. Before I moved from home he told me, if I needed an item from the grocery store, buy two. That way I wouldnt have to always run to the store for things. So I've always done that. But years ago after seeing the world having so many issues I started making an extra effort to budget myself to buy a few extra items when grocery shopping. An extra can here and an extra box there for years has built my pantry up fairly good. While what I have won't last months, it will last for a little awhile. After that I'm leaving it in Gods hands. When it comes down to it, that's all any of us can do. I love your videos. Theyre always down to earth and honest. I appreciate the info and encouragement too. I hope things continue going well for you and your wife. 🙂
As I go through to what I've missed..🤔 I missed this one 🤷♀️..I'm with you Michelle, maybe not as severe, but there are days I'm down... As far as you beginning cold, ( forgive me if yall already thought of this).Kevin, you should know this one..Hand & feet warmers in a small pack.. Battery sock, vest, gloves, put on a good cotton pair of socks, gloves than heavier ( above, warmers, or under battery ( above).. Thanks Michelle, Kevin.. ❤🌹
I would like to hear your other videos you can make. I’m really interested. I don’t believe prepping is a sin. And yes I’m a Christian. Thank you for sharing.
I'm 75 and prepping as I can a bit at a time So far I could make it a month or 2.i live in a effency apartment so I also have limited space. Your helping a lot thank you. I'm glad your the man of of the house
Thank You so much Homemaker Husband for your videos. I have just recently started watching your videos and was so happy to have found a fellow New Brunswicker doing prepping videos. God Bless you and your wife for being there to help a beginner on her journey with prepping. Thank You from the bottom of my heart...
Great video because it is important to be prepared for whatever comes down the pike. Thanks for some of your reminders, they will be added to my list. Thanks for sharing and y'all have a Blessed day.
This was a very fresh and refreshing take on the whole 'prepper' movement. You have shown a lot of insight into the reality of prepping for real life scenarios as compared to doomsday situations. I think we all need to focus on the here and now and doing what is right for each of our unique capabilities and requirements. Much appreciated.
You and the Mrs are a BLESSING. You just addressed everything I'm dealing with. I went through my storage yesterday and have to restock a few expired things. The main thing I needed to hear was I'm stocking up for me and not the world. Watching prepping channels that have full basements is out of reach for me and now I'm ok with that. I have to remember my space, my budget and what I will really eat. Thank you and the Mrs so much🙏🏿
That makes me happy to hear this. We know there are so many preppers and they have such a different situation than we do. We said if this only helps one person it was worth it. Keep doing you Ruth! 🙂
Remember that expired dates are usually just a best by date. Food in can & jars can last long time past the date. White Rice is good for 20 years or more.
God be with Michelle. I have a great deal of Chronic Pain, but I assume that hers is even worse.I now have new diagnoses and cannot do as much as I have been. As it is, the money has given out as this happened and the prices go up. Idid a blog series on Family Emergency Preparedness nine years ago, encouraging people to be ready for an weather, family emergency or unforeseen circumstances.We've been through some tight times but always had enough of everything and ate well because I had stocked up whenever anything was on sale. Now, I am STOCKED UP.
Pain is incredibly difficult. Don’t wish it on anyone. Sorry you have to deal with that as well. That blog sounds pretty interesting. I’m so glad your stocking up. Thanks for watching.🙂
@@thehomemakerhusband We learn to go with so much that even our long-time doctors do not realize how much we are bearing.(They didn't realize that I had a kidney stone because I did not 'present' like I had that kind of pain.) We do as well as we can. I just found the strain all this time has damaged me. You sound like a good and caring husband. I should have not hidden as much from mine.
Good advice. I haven't heard much about personal physical limitations, but you bring up a good point, especially for some of us who are older and live alone. I love looking at prepper videos and can sometimes get jealous of folks who have these big rooms full of their prep. I'd love something like that, but I really don't need it for 1 person. I think knowing that you don't have to do everything you see on YT to have a good prep is another limit to know. I think it's also good to know what you're prepping for. I'm not expecting Armageddon, but I am in the Midwest, where we get a lot of cold and snow, so I prep so I don't have to go out in it. While there's more delivery post-pandemic, I think it's wrong to ask someone to come out in a snow storm because I didn't plan appropriately. I was surprised that you've got 18 months in an apartment. That's impressive.
First time listener, very thoughtful in both senses. Subscribed, Everything involves tradeoffs between needs and resources. I'm try to apply the concept of limiting factor learned from agriculture. For example, one thing I did was to purchase a wattmeter, run around measuring how much electricity different devices used. Made some changes, unplugged a lot of things, etc. cut my electricity usage by more than half, thereby freeing up enough to run a 100 watt led grow light.
Since you have a small apartment, why not buy a shampoo bar and conditioner. It takes up much less space and they are very handy. We notice it here in Norway too, so I have built up my food storage. I have a daughter with some of the same symptoms as Michelle, so I always make sure she has a couple of months of meds. I recently bought a propane cooking top, a small one that they use for camping, which is useful if you don't have electricity. Wishing you and Michelle a wonderful Saturday 🙂🙂
I use a dresser in my bedroom to hold personal care items. I agree dual use items are great to keep on hand. I have baking soda as a cleaner, backup to toothpaste, usevit to boost laundry detergent which allows me to use less of the detergent. In an emergency I could use it instead of soap to bath and I use it to clean my hair of products when washing my hair.
This video was a great reminder. Thank you. It is just the 2 of us too and we are on a pension so can only do what we can do. Looking forward to the security video as well. I have a question for you... I want to get some Mylar bags etc... do you have a suggestion maybe from whatever 1's you got? I want to put Rice, oatmeal, pastaetc. I also agot a food saver but have not used it yet. Pretty happy to have 1. Thanks for the videos and tips. Nice to have a Canadian everyday prepper to watch.
Thanks Katrina. We don’t have any mylar bags. We currently use our vacuum sealer and jar attachment for sealing. We use oxygen absorbers in our jars. Sorry I can’t help. We love our food sealer. Thanks for watching.🙂🇨🇦
Oh, man, I am prepped beyond the limits of my home. You really have to get creative with room or just give some room up for it. BUDGET is the only limitation. You will be using those things an you'll have more room all too soon. I am prepped on EVERYTHING we use every day. Few know how much I have, and all of those are close family.I don't think that even they realize how much I have,because I never know how many I will have to care for.
I had to step back. I couldn't sleep because I kept thinking if I had enough or what else I could buy. Is my prepper room good enough etc. My mind was consumed by my prepping ways and I'm then I couldn't get my room right so I was non stop rearranging and wore myself out.
Kevin, I hate to take up more of your time today but I just watched l RoseRed Homestead and wondered if you had seen today's post, since you mentioned the necessity of keeping Michelle's body temperature regulated. I would never have canned meat or dehydrated eggs without Pam's scientific guidance, so I thought maybe what she said today might be of use to you, considering it was about foods that we could eat to help keep warm and the science behind which foods and why?
@@thehomemakerhusband Pam's a science professor, in her 70s, about to retire. A number of channels give out unsafe advice. She's a bit on the conservative side, but you know why and how things are safe or unsafe after watching her. Basically, the longer it takes to digest, the better and longer it keeps you warm and meat protein, esp. red meat, is tops, along with bananas, root vegetables, oats, barley and a few others. You or Michelle can do your own research on what 'hangs in there' longest.Good luck.
I am also a Christian, completely, but for another who claims to be Christian and think that prepping is a sin is just such HUBRIS! Do they think that only bad people/non-Christians suffer? WOW. They better check on Jesus' teachings a little harder. I hope that you do not take offense but I have told people that unless Jesus is delivering their groceries now, they better stock up. God gives us people to care for, we are here to serve others. God be with you and Michelle.
No offence taken. God gave us brains and the ability to think. He expects us to work for ourselves and help others. No one gets food by standing on a sidewalk waiting for it to fall into their laps. 🙂
Wow Joseph and Noah were serious sinners then.. I've had this itch to store supplies since I was a kid. Maybe I watched damnation alley one to many times or that scary nuclear movie from the 80's.. (I have the Day after tomorrow by the way. Lol) But lately I'm thinking it was God. Although I didn't start prepping until about 15 years ago, when my husband went through a string of job losses. I learned when he was working store up about 3 months worth of food, laundry, bathroom stuff. Then 2020 hit. I realized agenda 20 30 was kicking in and now I'm not stopping until foods gone or $$ is.. I'm sorry I'm a stalker to preppers. my husband refuses to face what's happening and I have noone to vent to, I can trust.. Lol . Don't feel the need to answer me..
I appreciate channels such as yours for the examples and teaching moments, but I am concerned that even though we don't know where you live, your neighbors could be watching your channel and know what you have. That is the one casualty of being a youtube creator for preppers. And no, it is not a sin to prepare. Joseph in the Old Testament prepped Egypt during times of plenty for the famine to come and was able to feed starving people. Even now as Christians we should always be prepping, i.e., praying and reading the bible.
Our neighbours are not watching this channel. Our neighbours are all seniors. Unless you are looking for prepping channels your not likely to have one pop up on you. Plus we haven’t even told our friends or family about this channel. Food isn’t the only thing we prep. We are not in fear here. Thanks for your concern. Thanks for watching.🙂
Good points. Flowed nicely. Prepping is not a sin. Noah was told to get ready. Joseph was given dreams to prep for a famine. All through the Bible. God is in charge but we need to do, action. I pick prepping channels I can learn skills off of & not ones that are over dramatic. Living in Atlantic Canada & being a Girl, security is more an issue due to our country's limitations on legal choices. So any ideas on that, I would be in interest it! Thanks for sharing & God Bless!
Thank you. And more thoughts definitely coming. Thanks for watching.🙂

I agree with your view on what happens if there's a nuclear attack. I hope I get to meet you and Michelle when we are there. Have a great week.
Thanks Mona. 🙂🙏🏻
Lol. I'm new I was wondering why your canned goods looked so different.. Duh your in Canada..
No worries.🙂
Kevin, I hate to take up more of your time today but I just watched l RoseRed Homestead and wondered if you had seen today's post, since you mentioned the necessity of keeping Michelle's body temperature regulated. I would never have canned meat or dehydrated eggs without Pam's scientific guidance, so I thought maybe what she said today might be of use to you, considering it was about foods that we could eat to help keep warm and the science behind which foods and why?
Hi Tonette. No I have not heard of that channel and I don’t get to watch too much as weekends are crazy busy here. Sounds interesting. 😊
@@thehomemakerhusband Pam's a science professor, in her 70s, about to retire. A number of channels give out unsafe advice. She's a bit on the conservative side, but you know why and how things are safe or unsafe after watching her. Basically, the longer it takes to digest, the better and longer it keeps you warm and meat protein, esp. red meat, is tops, along with bananas, root vegetables, oats, barley and a few others. You or Michelle can do your own research on what 'hangs in there' longest.Good luck.
That sounds good because that’s a lot of our diet now. 🙂
@@thehomemakerhusband I have laid in a lot of different grains. Good to talk with you.
Thanks for sharing that we will check it out.🙂
If electricity goes out so does water!!! Electricity runs the pumps to get wster to your home
Hi. We don’t lose water when the powers out. Houses out of the city, they sure do. We lost heat to the water heater but that’s it here.
@@thehomemakerhusband thats great for you. Here in the US we lose water if power goes out
Yes everyone’s situation is different.
I am also a Christian, completely, but for another who claims to be Christian and think that prepping is a sin is just such HUBRIS! Do they think that only bad people/non-Christians suffer? WOW. They better check on Jesus' teachings a little harder. I hope that you do not take offense but I have told people that unless Jesus is delivering their groceries now, they better stock up. God gives us people to care for, we are here to serve others. God be with you and Michelle.
No offence taken. God gave us brains and the ability to think. He expects us to work for ourselves and help others. No one gets food by standing on a sidewalk waiting for it to fall into their laps. 🙂
Wow Joseph and Noah were serious sinners then.. I've had this itch to store supplies since I was a kid. Maybe I watched damnation alley one to many times or that scary nuclear movie from the 80's.. (I have the Day after tomorrow by the way. Lol) But lately I'm thinking it was God. Although I didn't start prepping until about 15 years ago, when my husband went through a string of job losses. I learned when he was working store up about 3 months worth of food, laundry, bathroom stuff. Then 2020 hit. I realized agenda 20 30 was kicking in and now I'm not stopping until foods gone or $$ is..
I'm sorry I'm a stalker to preppers. my husband refuses to face what's happening and I have noone to vent to, I can trust.. Lol . Don't feel the need to answer me..
Some just have good discernment. Maybe that's why your drawn to it. I don't know, but keep doing what you can.
I appreciate channels such as yours for the examples and teaching moments, but I am concerned that even though we don't know where you live, your neighbors could be watching your channel and know what you have. That is the one casualty of being a youtube creator for preppers. And no, it is not a sin to prepare. Joseph in the Old Testament prepped Egypt during times of plenty for the famine to come and was able to feed starving people. Even now as Christians we should always be prepping, i.e., praying and reading the bible.
Our neighbours are not watching this channel. Our neighbours are all seniors. Unless you are looking for prepping channels your not likely to have one pop up on you. Plus we haven’t even told our friends or family about this channel. Food isn’t the only thing we prep. We are not in fear here. Thanks for your concern. Thanks for watching.🙂
