I am 67 and in year 8 of dementia. 100% Terminal. No worries about dying. Just trying to set things up for my 5 grandkids. I live way out in the country, in a very cold climate, so not worried about people. Have a lot of firewood put away, chickens big garden etc.
Your not alone 😀🌴🌴🍺🍺
Sounds like you’re doing well, keep up the good work !
Bless you. Those little, or young people in my life are who I most want to protect
Optional toilet paper: Buy a few packages of Terry washclothes. Keep a bucket of bleach water in your bathroom to dispose of soiled terry cloth washcloths and let them soak overnight. Wash outside and line dry to reuse over and over.
Minor dental repair kits may be needed during a crisis. Tooth pain is no joke.
And throw in a bottle of vodka incase of a diy tooth extraction! Dental emergencies make me the most anxious
I have dentures. LOL 😂

I was a police officer in the Nashville area when the bombing of the AT&T building. The 911 system failed. Dispatch could see who called but they could not talk to them. We spent the entire day responding to 911 calls from citizens that were just "scared". We had to respond to every call since dispatch did not have a way to know what the problem was. Every citizen that I spoke with was scared, confused and totally lost.
Most failures are good learning experiences. Has that failure been addressed so there will not be a repeat malfunction?
It may be as simple as to advise folks to have an emergency radio for general information.
It may be to inform folks to have the police ban on their cellphone. Hopefully everyone doesn’t have AT&T cellphone service.
It may be good to have a system similar to a neighborhood watch program except it will be a neighborhood call/community program.
Stop your vehicle if the street and announce over the squawk box, all those who heat this message please come out for a community update.
Have an emergency tv broadcast explaining the situation. Repeat this his procedure up and down the roads.
The first rule of order in any emergency, this will be difficult for those who have never encountered a real emergency, IS DON’T PANIC until the situation is controlled or over, then they can panic.
You can bet the public, especially those who called appreciate your dedication to responding to calls.
Schools is always in session.
It was shut off for a reason.!!and your seeing it at the border.Wait till you get the next round of government help.

WOULD NOT MEET CURRENT CITY AND MUNICIPAL CODES NOW. but they WORKED!
Being aware of peoples behavior during rule of law should be an inicator of what kind of savages many wiil become without such rules.
If they're getting welfare, EBT, free housing, cell phones, medical, cash and they're still robbing people to get free shiet, they will most definitely kill us for half a candy bar in a shtf situation.
Look at how they get together to swarm big stores so they can steal shit they don't need. Imagine 40 of them swarming your house to take what you have so they don't starve to death.
They'll most likely torture us as well. For no other reason then our skin color or because we're better prepared. They'll convince themselves that it's unfair they got free shit and didn't save any of it whereas we worked hard and saved enough food/water to get by for a while.
As crappy as it sounds just know that they'll go after the weak links first. Those weak links are the Whyte liberals that voted for this communist utopia. I hate violence but I'll get some satisfaction knowing that the last thing a lot of these liberals will see is a horde of joggers kicking their door in and doing God knows what. They probably even think if they yell "I'm on your side" they'll let them live.
After all, they they're just getting the results they voted for.
And when we see how some areas have become… before it even gets bad… we’ll, it’s kind of scary!
We already have plenty of savages and yes more people will become one. TRUST NO ONE
That includes leftist family members.
Some people don't understand that they'll have to watch, keep a eye on family members with big hearts. Those family members can get you killed in a shtf situation because they tend to fall for sad stories and will easily trust people they shouldn't.
If you live near a prison, a military base, or police station, you're in trouble. They have the aggression, skills, and weapons that many don't have.
I have a tractor and lots of ammo.
Having been thru 3 major hurricanes in Florida, You can never be too prepared.
I was so worry, not knowing what to do. But I started to be informed.
I have had multiple personal SHTF situations due to snow, ice, flood, serious arthritis, viruses. I'm also 68. Everything that I have prepped for I have used (not used up) one way or another. My garden has been tilled and a new raised bed and one kiddie pool planted. It took me a while to dig a few holes for my blueberry/blackberry plants. I had to hire someone to dig the holes for 2 new fruit trees since I live on a rock pile. I home can everything I can afford. Antibiotics...a few car parts, back up heat. This didn't happen overnight. I have been working on my supplies for two years. Defense? 110 pound dog and projectiles. Three years ago I would never have believed what I could accomplish. I am not rich, I watch the sales, don't spend money on unnecessary items.
I wouldn't worry too much. I've seen enough in life with people getting sick, accidents, deaths, etc...We are all going to go one way or another.
With the numerous crises, SHTF and deaths with people at work (healthcare/hospital/clinics/community level, all preps are not used much, unused, damaged, lost/stolen...etc....not worth the stress/years building up.
I'd just be kind/giving to everyone around, especially my love ones. Those people are the ones that will help you when SHTF. All other preps are really not needed. Focus on living a happy/short life, with love ones, and ready to go whenever God calls.
@@BDAILY365Hey, that is really nice. We do tend to lose track of now and the people we love. The things that are really important.
that's what everyone needs to do, don't spend unless it's important.
@@BDAILY365what? I see you are one of the ones that would be voluntarily checking out if anything happened. Guess all you need is a derringer and a single round for your preps. Prepping isn't stressful, matter of fact it's the exact opposite.
I am also 68 and I will survive whatever is thrown my way or at me. You sound like you are on top of the troubles that may come in the future. I hope you have some fences up and gates that you can lock.
We've already had a taste of what minor supply chain disruptions are like, imagine if everything runs out! When a scratch or cut getting infected or an abscessed tooth can kill you and basic hygiene becomes a matter of life and death, a person who knows how to make soap, pull a tooth, or medicinal herbs will be worth more than all the lawyers and bankers in the world. People with professions, abilities, knowledge, and even hobbies that translate into, or are themselves useful skills in a post-consumer, post-industrial world will always find a place.
Antibiotics are available from jase medical or contingency medical. 270 dollars for some peace of mind.

I’m old and have many health problems, but I am listening and acting on solid advice like this. 👍
I wish they talk about how Seniors can survive if SHTF scenario. For I am 70 years old and want to survive the best way I can as a Senior.
@@11B30Inf Maybe us seniors need to band together, assuming we live close to other senior preppers
I live in a "senior" apt bldg and these people HAVE NO CLUE and I don't trust them. I have no family so am on my own. Most friends are waiting for Trump to save them.
I've prepared and prepoed.....now I'm trusting God to continue to direct my path.

@@11B30Inf 11B? Thank you. 75th Rangers here.
I’m 73 pushing hard on 74. I’ve been prepping for several years, but age issues are becoming more relevant. We are in a remote area with few neighbors, but we help each other. Two neighbors are Vietnam veterans, one is a nurse practitioner/ physicians assistant, another a preacher, many chicken houses, and cattle farmers near by. Water is available but not real convenient but I am working on rain catchment system.
There are many things seniors can do to prepare and survive. We have to retire from retirement and keep on keeping on. You now cannot quit but do what you can even if it is slow motion.
@@patriotpop2436 You are an inspiration! That is awesome you have a small group of people you can count on 🙏🏼
I started prepping in 2020 and in 2022 my dad stole all my money and tried to kill me. I had like 3 hours to escape and I grabbed my stocked up canned food and medicine and ran. I was able to survive on those preps while I worked and got more money/ food/ medicine. I had to buy a new car and now I live in my car and I rely on my sleeping bag I prepped and the car maintenance things I also prepped. I knew this was a possibility but didnt think it would actually happen. I thought my family like grandparents would help me but they're so afraid of him and Im scared for them so I keep my distance. Thankfully my dad is moving out of their neighborhood and then they will be safer.
Sad!! Where are the police?
I'm 56. 30 years of installing flooring has my body worn out but I'm walking every day and prepping everything I can think of. So thank you for the information.
@Rob, Thank you for all the floors you installed over those 30 years. I'm sure there are a lot of people out there that built families on the floors you labored over.
Me too .worn out from construction jobs. It's painfull. I'm in my sixties
40 years for me ! Just not carpet, that well destroy you pretty fast. Do you have a freeze dryer? I have a huge supply of ready made meals ( 20+ years shelf life) they are expensive but to have years of food put away makes the price paid worth it !!
I hear ya brother, just turned 55 and the parts are breaking down. It kept me afloat all these years but it wasn't worth the damage to my body, I should have got an office job.
Same here.
The most difficult thing to do in a SHTF situation is keeping what you have prepped. DONT TELL ANYONE WHAT YOU HAVE STOCKED, ANYONE! You'll just be setting yourself up as a target for those who havent prepped or just "thought you were crazy".
Nobody knows that I prep.. But I do.
I believe this also. But unfortunately my wife told people and I got upset but then explained to her.
Good luck on your own. I know this an older comment sorry about that. Just remember that there's strength and benefit in numbers. If you're a lone wolf you're setting yourself up to fail.
@@ChadOfAllChads That's true. No one else to keep watch while you sleep.
@@Hugh_Manitee Or even just watch your back when you need to get water or something. So long as they're trustworthy and good.
I made a still for clean water. I can boil the water with a rocket stove using twigs and small brush. It works. Clean the boiler out regularly and you will be in good shape.
I just built my first rocket heater too. Well, I just finished my final build. I had to do alot of modifications. Either way, this was a good video
You will be boiling water 24/7! Get a Berkey water filter. Your time is going to be a factor too. If you do boil water, you will need bleach too after it cools down.
What a great idea. (Heads to the hardware store).
Nice!
I have one too.
I Commend You for taking care of Your Parents. I was able to Take care of My Dad up until his last Breath at Age of 85 in his own home . It was My Greatest Memory. Enjoy each opportunity You have with them. You will Miss Them and wish You could get one more opportunity.
You are very admirable !
In the novel One Second After, and the other 2 books in the trilogy, following an EMP attack, about 90% of the population died within 2 years. This was due to lack of medication, insufficient food supply, and gangs murdering people for supplies, and sometimes killing them for food.
You really think 🤔 something like thats gonna happen?
@Eduardo Tenorio yeah, the series is pretty good. It’s not classic level good but for modern fiction very good. It’s a harsh world though, fair warning
@@GameOfficial483I could see it easily.
@@GameOfficial483 before this last year I’d have said 1% chance or less. Now? I think it’s more like 10-15% chance. Still unlikely but rapidly becoming more likely. The two powers who could pull it off today are Russia and China. Russia may consider it if our proxy war with them goes too badly for them. China is working on making economic alliances such it may one day soon no longer require us to buy their goods.
@Eduardo Tenorio While I have some criticisms of the series it’s still good enough that I read through that whole series about once a year, both for fun and for a mental exercise. I would recommend it.
I’m 69 and I train, hike and gym everyday! If I lose it’s not because of my age! I visit my range once a week!
I agree people seem to forget about being in good physical condition if you dont have your health all the money in the world means nothing.
On children:
I don't says "hey, there is stuff about to happen, but don't worry, we have preps."
I say "hey, we have stuff and practice habits so that if things go sideways, we can deal with the problem."
Subtly different. My kids are under age 6, so I think the subtle difference is important.
Absolutely. Tell them you’re just prepared for life’s surprises
One trick for dealing with human waste is simply to dig a post hole as deep as you can make it. Put waste in, add a little lime & cover with a small amount of dirt. Refill the hole in this fashion but plan on filling the last 8 to 12 inches with dirt. If you can smell it add more dirt & lime between layers. It shouldn't stink. Make sure that these holes are on high ground not right next to a water source like a creek or pond.
Great advice. I seldom hear solutions I haven’t heard before… I even have a pot hole digger 👍
Buckets, mix with saw dust. Then compost it with yard waste...
55 gallon drums dump waste as saw dust and a little lime continue to layer until full, seal it in a year or less you have good fertilized dirt for your garden.
Great suggestions. Off the top of my head, I'd also add: 1) Stock up on garlic gel caps. Garlic is both a powerful anti-bacterial and anti-viral. Just don't take them if your on a blood thinner. 2) Stock up on B12 if you have no protein sources. 3) Have jugs of water and have bleach on hand, to sterilize water and disinfect surfaces. 4) Toileting: buckets, rags (e.g., old tee-shirts or painters rags, sheets) for toilet paper. Wash and RInse and drop into another bucket with a small amount of bleach to soak.
Dry chlorine pool chemicals store longer than liquid bleach I am told.
I dig it
Going Home book A American.. Pool shock, a bucket rinse and reuse. .. 😁
Keep your perishables high if theres any chance of flooding. Had 3 foot of water in my house during the last hurricane in Fl. Had to do a lot of work to save most of my stuff from being ruined.
People will adjust and adapt as they always have . The weak and sick of course will die ,some will be bad some will be good. Stay on the side of good and stamp out the bad wherever you find it.
In my experience good and bad do not exist. There was simply those that survived and those that didn't. Nature doesn't pick sides or play fair. The natural world has no morals.
You are correct. In the Great Depression game was almost hunted out. How many people do you know who knows how to hunt? If it was that easy it would be called gathering not hunting and fishing. 😂😂😂😂😂 Many will not live long enough to become good at it from scratch.
deer hunting .
Animal populations are so much smaller than in the 1930s. Most small urban/exurban herds will be hunted to extinction in a matter of weeks.
May I recommend to folks to create a checklist of “things to do” when SHTF. Cause when the situation is happening, we tend to miss steps.
When I was without electricity for 2 months (it’s a long story) having a list really helps keep the mind better organized and calm. Having a routine is extremely important to maintaining mental health!!!
There is a reason professional aviation started mandating checklists for both routine procedures and emergencies a long time ago.
Saw them all coming except the last. I couldn't see eating a dog or cat much less another human. As long as we don't have to deal with someone trying to take our things away from us we have enough put back for years, for us and the animals. We have a homestead that we farm and we have all those things taken care of. The hardest thing I think we will face is other people.
Very sad but true, I fear God and that keeps me in line.
The Donner Party didnt see themselves eating another human... until they did. Thats why you plan ahead, and prepare. A solid plan, and knowledge can be worth more than a whole stock pile as well.
A starving man is the most dangerous thing in the world. Hunger is a big motivator.
@@BJGoberMore dangerous is a parent with starving children.
Mothers have sold their children to have money for food. They have also killed their children to eat them. Hunger will drive a person to do the unthinkable.
People have died on Black Friday over TVs and toasters...imagine what they'd do to each other if they were starving.
Missed one thing: spiritual fitness. No matter what happens, or does not happen, in your lifetime, at some point you will die. You need to be OK with that, and you need to be ready to give an account for everything you did.
I know where I am going after I die. I’m ok with dying. That doesn’t mean I’ll be stupid, or that I won’t prepare so I can live for as long as I can. But it does mean I will not cross moral boundaries to extend my life for a little while.
Excellent! And sadly the reason our nation and world are in this state; too many have turned away from God. Turn back and follow Jesus Christ!!!
Same here
Along with medications please dont forget stocking up on vitamins. I believe this is as important.
I agree 100% also minerals. They will store for a long-long time. Also other supplements that are health foods. I make my own capsules.
I'm reminded of Taleb's "Black Swan". A big event happens, and everyone is surprised. Then, with a little time passes and people recognize there were warning signs. "We should have seen this coming." It's like a script. Are we on the cusp of a disaster?
Glad you mentioned cleanliness. I believe part of why Israel prospered so much...was because they listened to YHVH's counsel and followed His rules for cleanliness.
Their Father took such good care of them. Rules for sanitation right in the Bible.
Been focusing on health this year. I'm down a sizeable amount of weight and putting my time into building a bug out bike. That I ride every night that I can. Been saying yes alot more instead of no when it comes to doing things. Saying no is lazy when it comes to being active. If an emp does strike I want to be able to get around still.
EMP , you don't want to go out of your home for at least 2 months . If you have a home, you have to cover the pipes that comes out of your roof , windows, doors, etcccc. Because the GAMMA will come inside the home . Oh i know there will be other stuff. There's a couple here on TH-cam , who knows all about nuclear , gamma rays , etccc.. They know a man who's an expert of it . I forgotten the name of couple . I need to look them up . they live in Utah . This couple already have their home ready , windows are covered with heavy plastic and all doors are covered too . I seen them in the video.
I visited a nearby city recently. I must have driven for an hour and saw nothing but suburbs horizon to horizon. I can’t imagine how all those people would cope. Worse yet, I can.
I live just outside of a major population area, somewhat in a country setting, my biggest concern is people leaving the heavy populated areas and making it out to where I am! I'm sure it's going to be a very harsh situation! I don't have a reliable neighborhood when it comes to prepared minded people! I keep trying to convince my family members to sell now, and locate much further into a sparsely populated area! Because it won't take but 1 to 2 days on foot for massive amounts of people to flood through my area! This dose not leave me feeling comfortable at all!!! I can only protect just so much .
@russpendergraft5057 as long as you are prepared to protect what you have and are set up with your Garden and small livestock you'll be fine wherever you are. But I agree the farther out the better you'll be but they also will steal fron those too in time.
@@rusted5408 there will be no safe place
@@russpendergraft5057find like minded people, they are out there. Have a plan for closing the roads into your town. All you need is a chainsaw, drop trees across the roads to stop people in vehicles. Learn how to make booby traps and other deterrents to stop them from continuing to your town on foot.
They would rip each other to pieces in no time.
I live with a kidney transplant and I will always need my medication, but... I am resolved to survive no matter what. I've seen alot of storms and have used those experiences to strengthen me. The human body can survive almost anything, the mind just needs to believe it. God bless and stay strong 🇺🇸

@@sherinpeas Thank you. No worries though, God is with me 👍
Fundementally, you are RIGHT.
And to go with that, depending on your condition, a lot of stuff can be treated naturally with changes in diet and additional food supplements. I don't know your issue so I don't know for sure, but I'm amazed how much is shared by people in the naturalist and herbal worlds.

100% with gardening, this is my 3rd year and there is ALWAYS some new problem to solve! You have to learn as you go, reading it in a book is great, but you forget alot until you experince it!
Ive been gardening on and off for almost 15 years and Im still trying to figure it out! 😂
God bless you. When I discovered I could grow potatoes, I knew starving would not be an issue. The learning curve you mentioned is real.

Yes thanks…good info
Every topic you spoke on ,came naturally to people not long ago. Today's society, soft as a grape. Full of demand and intitled. Bad road ahead, no way around it. Every movement will be in fear. Is death not a blessing. Time will tell.
I agree with you!! I work in the human service field. When did we as a country start stopping individuals from killing themselves. There is now this new initiative to stop people from killing themselves. It’s sad. I say if people want to kill themselves let them!!! Why are we stopping it? I call it being weak minded. I don’t understand it at all!!! People go over to other people’s country to kill them and then they come back w mental illness. Your ass never been over there in the first place. You don’t kill another human for money!!! Just because your federal government daddy states to you to kill doesn’t mean you go do it!! Remember the Bible says Thy shall NOT murder. Remember the gentleman that was in the military that did not have a gun. He followed the Bible!! Others don’t care. Hell is waiting for many veterans. We meant to love and care for one another not kill each other!!
I haven't been scared of dying since I became an adult. It's a prize, not a punishment, I'm pushing 60 now and still can't understand why it scares people.
I’m 69 and don’t have a great fear of death, but I won’t give up and I’ll never surrender my freedom or liberty. !!
If I had kids, I wouldn't tell them I'm preppin, because they will talk and then I'd end up with unwanted visitors on my doorstep.
The mental part is actually the hardest part. everything else is just a matter of focus and work. And getting your own mental health is one thing, working on others is hard. That one takes constant work. Due to that, keep on those you want to be around the constant reasoning for self sufficiency. I found that using being self sufficient feels less crazy then prepper to many. Slow work but making progress. Also, for toilet paper, I keep reminding my wife she has a lot of very soft shirts 😉 Prepare like it is 1859 and you will survive.
And when you told her that you should have also said just think sweetie that the shirt of mine you've always hated you'll get to wipe your butt with it. 😅😂
Most if not all men have at least one of those tee shirts,shirts that their wife, girlfriend, family member hates. 😅
@@patriotcountry4716 Great point, she has a long list of my shirts she wants to get rid of!
@@SgtSkrog 🤣😂
Shirts, buckets, bleach/pool shock. 😁 Although I'm saving that for when my stock of to is out.
Live like your grandparents lived !!
Spot on video, Don. Mindset is half the battle. Having plans in place are key, but reality will force those to be modified. Remember the acronym PACE. Primary. Alternate. Contingency. Emergency. Plan in depth and be prepared to flex. Being physically, emotionally and spiritually fit is critical. The civilized world we are accustomed to operates on a very thin veneer and that is being torn up now in all aspects of daily life. We need to harden ourselves to that inconvenient truth and plan and act accordingly.
Gives a new way to think about PACE yourself. Great input, thank you.
Great repky

If you have no drinking water, but can still cook and have canned food, you could survive for a while by adding canned tomatoes to dishes, as the water content is high. Passata and soup are also mostly water.
You can almost get a half glass of water from canned Carrots.
Most soups and canned foods are high in salt, which can deplete water. Get "lower sodium" soups and canned foods when available.
@@humbleevidenceaccepter7712 good idea
Get a good solar oven, if nothing else to boil water. No noise, no smoke, can’t run out of fuel. Can’t fry or broil. A Kelly Kettle will allow you to boil water quickly, and fry food over it, using two handfuls of sticks.
This is probably one of the best Prepper channels on TH-cam.

Truth in all you said here in this video. My grandmother would tell me of how bad it was during the last great depression. How there was never a day that she wasn't hungry. How my grandfather would go into town to try & find work or sell or trade something. If he couldn't find work or anything he'd have to hurry home to go hunt & hunt anything ie groundhog, opossum, rabbit, squrle...anything. like you said, all the deer were pretty much hunted out. The worst was when my grandfather killed two men he digging up a potato garden he had planted in a field near where he & my grandmother lived. The potatoes was to get them through the winter. Grandma never said what they did with the bodies, but they lived far enough out & in the 1930's who would miss a couple of drifters in those hard times. Today the population is so much larger, & the kinds of people we have now, I don't like to think about it. 😢 end of days...?
Bury under compost pile, the hogs are always hungry and worst case, remember the Donner party....
You can get over 2 years storing gasoline if you put it in a good container and treat it with Sta Bil stabilizer. Some guys have gone double that, but i THINK THEY WERE EXTRA GENEROUS WITH THE STABILIZER.
Start cutting up old cloths into squares put them in a plastic containers. Then when time comes. Wet with water, set in your out house. Home made diaper wipes.
Yeah true. Get a huge blankets from good will to cut up. Potentially any fabric. That was nice to read. I like you Linda. I'm sure you're capable of teaching us a lot.
For a lot of this, if people would just consult or talk to farmers, They would get the answers to a lot of their questions.
We have been Composting and we have huge tanks of gasoline on some farms. And we can teach people how to store and keep these things good to go.
I see people who have experienced hurricanes informing others how, what & where to prepare & how this helps to keep calm knowing they won't starve.
Prepare Physically and Spiritually. As a Florida Cracker, I am always prepared. Violent storms and Hurricanes are "Prep Schools" for Floridians, especially those of us that are natives and semi natives.💕🙏👍BTW..I go through my preps starting in March. Have lost 27 lbs.👍👍
After we upped our prepping game 2 yrs ago, and actively working to helping others to wake up, we are finally in a good space. We got off the panic rollercoaster. God Bless you all and praying for us all.

My major concern is as a burn survivor from saving my daughter from a fire, I'm dependent on burn medicine. There isn't a natural substitute for one of my medications. (my sister is a holistic doctor)... Everything else i can overcome. But a single father of two children that are dependent on me.
As a parent you had to save your daughter. I’m glad you were able to.
I’ve gently put the juice from the inside of an aloe Vera plant on my skin before for severe burns, which sped up the healing process. Some people take it internally. But I don’t know what type of meds you’re taking or how severe your burns are/were.
The good news is our bodies are designed to heal itself, assuming we give it proper nutrition from real food, keep moving our bodies, no matter how slowly, and keep a positive outlook.
The middle class is dwindling every day and it sucks to say but not many people has the resources to be able to set up a good big out kit and live off of that when they're already struggling is their own home. Just a FYI to anyone

I hope that your team is able to keep up the work, and would like to get to that meet you guys at some point. Our community goes far beyond local levels.
Long live the Republic!
Pretty good video I think. One thing to look forward to will be no taxes. That's a plus. Hopefully there'll be no Washington DC when the dust clears.
We've been totally off grid for 27 years now. Pretty much perfected everything supporting us at home, so people talk about how to deal with things which will go away with grid down that are everyday life to us. Sometimes I feel like the Harpers out in the sticks when people talk about the potential ills of off grid life - and yet, that really does defines everyday life for us. And it's not so bad, really. We have everything you do - it's just that I'm my own utility. If it breaks, I fix it. I made everything and so I know how it works. What a journey. Wouldn't trade it for the best penthouse in Manhattan.
And then I got bit by that damn prepper bug. Oh Jesus. Now we have all of the above along with thousands of gallons of propane, diesel and firewood up the yen yang. A half acre garden and a chicken pen with, literally, too many chickens in it. Enough weapons and ammo to outfit an army and plans, oh Christ, plans like you wouldn't believe for protection, for the nuclear war, for.... well you name it and I've likely planned for it. I just lost a ton of whole corn to bugs and it didn't bother me a bit - just am feeding it to the chickens and thinking about how to replace it so it'll be safe next time. We're to the point that tragedies aren't tragedies. Same shit, different day.
We have the community wide network with radios and weapons and plans. We've even thought about our local valley governance once we get re-established like you're talking about.
Lately, I've been thinking about the long, long term after SHTF. Now there's a disconcerning issue for you. What do you do when the sugar for your coffee runs out? Aw crap. Hoards of zombies I can deal with, but no sugar for my coffee - that's going to be an issue.
And I still dont feel totally prepared. It's like some sort of compulsive disease. I can tell you this - if we dont make it, no one is going to make it. (just dont show up here, please).
A word of advice for people with wells - there are solar systems available that will pump nine ways to Sunday right off of a solar panel - provide you with, literally, thousands of gallons of water daily and they're cheap - like 2.5K to 3K set up (well ... if you do the set-up part). That would really solve your water issues if you're rural - AND give you something to barter like crazy.
There's worse things than dying, like dying twice. I'm not afraid, the Most High is in total control. I think Jesus will be taking names here pretty soon. As in the days of Noah, as in the days of Lot.
Even if he doesn't return during our lifetime, he's still alive!
I'm a widow ,70 yrs.and I'm scared
Look into jerusalem artichokes and other perennial vegitables and herbs. Jerusalem Artichokes will feed you forever once they're established.
I feel for you. I worry about most seniors, most ppl living alone specifically women.
There's also alot of families where only 1 person is doing there best to prepare that don't have the support of anyone elce in their home.
That last one is my situation.
What I'm doing is prioritizing my spiritual salvation, then doing the best I can to prepare my family for anything.
Gather up some people in your community if can to form small groups..... Local church local vfw members
I'm a single woman with a son. I'm scared too. D9 you have friends, family, and neighbours to help you?
@@frustratedmajority851 I'm growing them now. I use banana skins and urine 1:10 with rain water. They are thriving.
My shtf happened last summer i got severely hurt at work and was bed ridden until recently. I can barely walk and i was lucky i had a good bit of canned food and dry stuff like spaghetti cuz i used almost all my backup supplies but i made it thru this horrible time and didn't starve. The best thing I did was to have a few extra buckets of dog food on hand cuz i couldn't get any and they still have to eat
Since last November, I've lost 40 pounds.
I exercise daily without fail, radically changed my diet for the better, and take a few supplements for added support.
Doing what I can for my personal health and SHTF insurance
Something else to think about with elders is this, i have an older father who would rather sit and except his fate than to leave his home. No amount of preparing can help him. So u have to mentally prepare to leave someone you love. Some folks will not budge. Some will say ill wait for jesus. Ive heard that one also. Some folks are not going to be able to handle the kind of shock that may come from this.
Sometimes that changes tho, like the person contemplating suicide who will, at the last minute, find the will to live. I hope your father finds his! God Bless!
My mother is 90 and I fear that I will not have the ability to protect her. She is city born and convinced that there will always be help available and would probably be arguing with me even in a crisis. I try to prep what I can without upsetting her but I also hope nothing catastrophic happens until after she is gone from natural causes. This situation definitely messes with my mental resources sometimes.
Survival of the fittest !
I would wish a wise man like you were my Neighbor when SHTF ,God bless you Sr and thank for sharing your knowledge
As a pharmacist the type 2 diabetic can go without insulin by cutting the carbohydrates.
What about HBP? Any herbs for lowering it?
@@helenkessler6012 Cut all soda, carbonated drinks, sugary drinks. Avoid sugared foods, go for fruits and veggies to replace that. Ashwagonda, but it has drawbacks as a supplement, and so the real root to that plant is better. Dandelion root, and more. Do a parasite cleanse, meaning your HBP could be caused by parasites. A majority of Americans think we are exempt from parasites, but we are not. It is in tap water, our foods, and leads to a number of health conditions including and not limited to HBP. There is a reason you don’t see these conditions in Africa and Asia. It’s a longer topic than I want to type out. However, the food in USA is not healthy, and not even meats with growth hormones, and even if labeled as not having it, it can still have it.
Be worried about people's behavior when they have nothing to lose and go hungry
Re: human waste. The Humanure Handbook is a good reference point. In a SHTF, you'll be needing as much compost as possible.
I absolutely agree on the importance of cleanliness. And on that note, soap is something that almost anybody can make. I recommend looking into it. Having soap in a SHTF situation could mean the difference between living and dying. Getting even a cold could be the thing that breaks you or a loved one in an already extremely stressful situation.
The assumption of most of my fellow preppers is a slow fall to SHTF, but what if it comes without warning. Without time to get in shelter. A sudden attack, while most people are still in bed. What is going to get most peppers killed, is their own egos. Pay by check or credit is a trays to straight to you. Question did not speaking on how to find antibiotics brought down laws now keeping you from stocking them up on.
Too many people , too little trees . In a SHTF situation, most people will die . This situation is unfortunate but true . Great video, very informative . Cheers
Confidence and security come from being prepared. This enables you to protect your loved ones and help others so they will become independent and not dependent on others. (Pay it forward)
I agree with your assessments and would note: prepare for the absolute worst and you are able to overcome the small things in life.
All around us is a house of cards: very fragile = have skill sets necessary to exchange for supplies and to maintain everything around you.
People freak out when SHTF, then they normalize. It was like that in Baghdad in 2004/05, and it always amazes me how quickly a community adapts to a new paradigm. Yeah, it is stressful at first, and there are those that can't make it through, but society always seems to find a way. The movie Schindler's list is a good example of social adaptation under increasingly dire conditions. There's no prep for that sort of thing, you just have to learn how to accept what is happening and get past it. Papillon was similar.
Read "The After" series or at least the 1st book by William R. Forstchen. I know it's just fiction, but it could almost be a documentary. Great series
FYI. There are many large apt complexe near NASA south of Houston TX they are gated and fenced.
It seems a good place for people to get together and use some of these ideas.
The first 2 things people will need after the SHTF is water and a safe way to take a crap!! Before anything else!!
Make sure that your teeth are healthy. Doesn't matter how prepared you are. A bad tooth ache is something you do not want to have to deal with. I know from recent experience lol
I am one of those overweight people. I have diabetes. But I'm at the point where I'm not insulin dependent. Mine is monitored through diet and exercise. Since my diagnosis I went from 420 lbs to 360lbs.
That is good news! Do you do any container gardening? I have a tendency to carry extra weight but in the Spring, I start dropping. This year I plan to drop as much as I can and stay there. Gardening (digging weeds, digging holes and bending over to plant), kicks my a$$ at first. I get two rewards that way....the scale and fresh food. That's how I do it.
@@gailoreilly1516 I bought a battle rope and some dumbbells. Going to work my butt off to get into better shape before SHTF. I have a good prep stash. And a bug out location. And Plenty of ways to defend my family.
So proud of you ! ❤
@@ClaudiaMitchell-jn7fw thank you.
@@NorthernPrepper WOW! You have done your homework. Your determination tells me that you and your family will survive. It's helpful to others like me to know there is hope to get stronger and healthier! Good comment. Thankyou.
ABOUT GASOLINE - I know a guy that has a background in refinery work. He keeps gasoline in very large propane tanks that he pressurizes and says it will last for years. I don't know if he uses compressed air or an inert gas. He explained why it works once but I can't recall the technical reasons. He has a stock pile of gasoline stored like this and it was expensive, so I don't think he just did it for fun and wasted that kind of money. I don't even know how he got unleaded fuel in there since there's not exactly a large opening in the tank... they're just what looks like normal 100 lb propane tanks from Tractor Supply. If you google this, some will say it will shorten the life of gasoline. But others say that's because normal air is used. Perhaps he is using nitrogen or the tank is just extremely full with a small gap of air at the top. I can imagine the oil/gas companies would want to hush this method if it's viable. Has anyone tried this?
Been following your videos for years now. Always good to know information, keep them coming
Having had two kids at home, it is a great plan to have a baby pool, and a birthing kit on hand!
There is so much to cover in these situations, and you did a good job of covering many of them. You touched on human waste, disease, and the like. One thing many will not consider in advance, is what to do with the dead. Thousands of people may perish in one of these unfortunate situations, and depending on your local population density may or may not become a huge issue. Proper burial practices can help stave off much disease, predators, etc. Water supplies must not be allowed to be come toxic. In any case, death, burial/cremation records should be kept, with the hope that the situation is not permanent. One thing I have done is buy used fishing gear and crab traps as they become available, not so much for me, but rather unfortunates that come across my place. Also I have solar showers, and laundry soap stocked up for use with a 5 gallon pail and plunger. I also have some solar capable of recharging phones, and MP3 players. A hot shower, clean clothes, some fish or fowl, and some tunes will go a long way to keeping a positive outlook, as things (ideally) improve. I am glad I was able to move to an island approximately 30 miles to sea, into a rural community of perhaps 1,500. We have plenty of fresh and salt water. There are deer in the yard, elk, fish, crabs, prawns, geese, ducks, quail, etc. I'm 3/4 a mile from the ocean, 170' in elevation. You had mentioned propane, if you are near water, there are propane powered outboard motors. I've had one, and they work fine. I am looking into an electric bike, and using solar to recharge them.
It sounds like heaven! Along with some good old fashioned good for you hard work :)
I live in a concrete jungle in commiefornia. I’m in a mobile home complex. There isn’t any actual ground area for burning waste or people! We also don’t have a natural source or fresh water- so I’ll last only as long as my stored water will last.
We’re hoping to escape to Texas before SHTF to get a home with a yard! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Tending to the dead is a good point. I've dug a grave for a large dog, and it was a lot of work. Plus I was so upset the whole time. It' definitely takes a lot out of you to bury the dead.
@@cherylmartin8572I’ve lived in Texas for a long time, now, this period in time remains me of the early eighties. Lots of new apartments being built, lots of out of state license plates. It use to be cheap to live here and I’m sure it’s cheaper than almost anywhere in California.
I was about to go on about… Hey, visit several different cities before you make that leap. There is a triangle of cities, Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio (and Austin) where most of the population and wealth is concentrated. You’ll be welcomed here, hope it works well for you.
FYI, Houston is now number two on the might nuke list after NYC.
@@cherylmartin8572 Thank you kindly for your reply. Water is a great thing to stock up on. If you have a bathtub, you might consider one of those plastic bags that you can fill in the tub if you have enough warning. I like the idea of you getting to Texas.
@@juliettebobcat704you could always burn them. Or if you kill them for trespassing, feed them to your dogs.
Cannibalism is a line I won't cross, but cook them up for my pups?
Sure.
Why let it go to waste and attract pests?
I came across your channel a couple of years ago. I immediately was taken in by your wisdom, the way you handle yourself, very knowledgeable and solid. Making complete sense of things I never thought of. Thank you from Texas!
This is such a deeply heartfelt, sincere, and supportive video. Thanks for your passion to help those who might be behind the curve get up to speed for what might come, or may already be here.
Personally, I think we are at zero hour, on D-Day! It is show time! Where getting ready is no longer an option. We all had better BE READY.....RIGHT NOW.
Sad indeed when truth falls on deaf ears.
Good report, Bub! I'm staying locked down for a while to see how things go down. But who knows if the news is real or even if there is news?
Fasting can clean up some chronic diseases as it gives the body a chance to heal while not digesting food.
I’m learning how to make tinctures from herbs. I’m still in the gathering of information stage, but have gotten some herbs to grow.
Great video, Don. Awareness is key.
Excellent video and advice. A very sobering look at what a SHTF situation will look like and what we need to do to prepare. The reality is a long term SHTF most people will not survive.
save all those socks that have no match... if you use them to go potty you wash them... if you use them to go poo... discard them. 😮
Yes sir words well spoken with our current leader things like this may happen buddy Al we can do is prepare and pray guys sp is trying to spread the word so if you’re new listen and please prep !!
When toilet paper runs out, use Mullien leaves. I saw several mullien plants yesterday. I'm going to forage them this week.
Or crap in a creek, lol
Mullein leaf tea is good for respiratory issues, I keep some dried.
@@MichaelWilliams-to3cj Don't c*** in any water source that's ridiculous people may need to use that to drink use your head!
Hi Don .. up in Alberta Canada right now it is so dry that the forest fires are the size of Toronto Canada ... just put that into perspective... great video thanks
50 lbs of DT for insect control will go a long way (also use a small amount in your stored dry goods) also cheap regular dish soap with a spray bottle will also help your garden
DON, BRAVO, BRAVO 👍👍
I have been telling people this for many many years, mainly to get your mind and body in shape. we as militiamen have train for all types of scenarios.. I have saved this video to my playlist I will share it everywhere. God bless you and your family. 🇺🇸
also, I forgot to add that most of us Patriots in our base train judo karate military knife fighting jiu-jitsu and tons of PT
At 58, I have 3 blown cervical discs, i'm blind in one eye, and i'm prone to a hernia-not a good combination!
iv been following your channel for years. One of the best prepper channels out there. Soo much valuable content!
What I like most about these videos is I imagine we’re having a conversation about shtf and what all we’d do and such. The setting would be like at deer camp or camping w the fellas and talking around the fire at night over a few beers. Man conversations that can deeper the more alcohol involved or not bc the woods and a fire at night can cause some much needed reflection and validation from other humans about your concerns and actually at least doing something proactive instead of just sitting around worrying and too stressed to think straight and what’s worse is that I think many peoples first mental picture of shtf starts w some cataclysmic event that is either immediate destruction or a move to a mad max kind of world Thunderdome and all or it’ll be consecutive nights of the living dead or nearly dead from starvation or wounds or dehydration or a million other things and we’ll be mowing them down w the 5 million rounds we’ve been amassing for ten years. The truth I think unless it’s nuclear war next week or something that it will be and already is a slow agonizing death from a thousand papercuts and possibly a grandfinle festival of hell unleashed in the form of mass deportations and the ruthless slaughter of protestors and a witch hunt w a number of grisly public executions some where the audience gets to join in and physically take part in these executions and tortures of course. Then a fierce and quickly built although disorganized like the paratroopers in The Normandy area and wherever else the night before D-Day. Scattered mostly small groups and individuals on their own until hopefully stumbling into some of his own troops and gradually enough gather to begin a real offensive to link up w bigger forces and until the psychopath scum pedo greedy manipulative nasty fuckers running the show at the moment are wiped out or at least sent packing for good and we get some men with integrity that value freedom and respects and believe in our constitution especially the the Bill of Rights that have so lately been abused and eroded and that remain under threat as we speak.
Buy some land in a rural area. Build some type of housing and have a rain water collection system and a septic system. Try solar for pumping from the rain water tank to the home. Have a garden. Except for the solar this is how my grandparents lived. Buy a pressure cooker and mason jars and learn what to do with them. Your county extension office will have classes.
Always appreciate your videos. May the good Lord watch over you and your family and friends. Peace and Love. 😊
