Episode 3 - Prepping for a Power Cut! What do we need when we have no electricity?
This episode focuses on how we would substitute everyday items that we take for granted in the event of a power cut. There are several different ways in which you can adapt your home, or inexpensive items that you can purchase that will come in really handy for both short or prolonged power loss. Remember, it's not just about lights!

Переглядів 5 тис.Рік тому
In this episode I give viewers a look into my medical supplies cupboard to show what basic items I store and detail items you might not necessarily realise could be important to stock. I also show you a quick look at my basic kit that could prove vital in the event of a situation where you will not have access to certain items.
Episode 1 - What is prepping? Why do we prep? Food storage.
Переглядів 21 тис.Рік тому
This episode is a basic introduction as to why I have been prepping for over 15 years. Many of you will be thinking what exactly is prepping and why do some people do it? Perhaps you've been thinking of beginning to prep yourself but are unsure as to how to begin. I will be showing you a quick overview of my food storage container and how and why I store certain foods. Following this episode I ...

    You are prepping for something major. Is it wise to advertise on the web that you have a store of food that could be stolen?

    In your first aid kit include the following dressings: Bactigras and Inadine. These will help to avoid infections. It is best to get both kinds because Inadine contains iodine and not everybody can tolerate iodine on an open wound. For weeping wounds get a calcium alginate dressing such as Kallostat or Cutiderm. These will help stop wounds from weeping excessive moisture which may inhibit wounds healing. Ensure that you have some micropore or silicone tape because not everybody can tolerate ordinary plasters. Also include some Neosporin as a topical antibiotic option. The aim is, wherever possible, to avoid wound infections.

    Thank you for the upload I really enjoyed it! Hello mate I was just thinking. If you had a bit of down pipe you could cut an opening at the bottom for grabbing tins out (like vending machine). When you pull a tin out the next one hits the bottom. Replenish at the top of the pipe. A stack of whatever tinned food you want would go right to the opening of the pipe at the top. You place the freshest tins you’ve just bought at the top and the older tins fall to the bottom as you get a tin out to eat. It will replenish itself.

    May I suggest having a pressure canner and or water bath canner. I buy tons of meat when it’s on sale and I can it up. I can beef, pork, chicken, sausage, bacon, ribs, beans, soups, meals, etc… I also make tons of ghee. Plus, if you keep tons of stuff it the freezer and the grid goes down, all you need is a canner, jars, and propane cooker. You won’t lose that stuff.

    I’m in the UK and I’ve been prepping for 4 years. I’ve been unemployed and to me it makes sense to have extra of everything in case of unemployment, you can’t get out for some reason and many other reasons. When panic buying happened, I didn’t have to worry about anything as I was well stocked. You only have to buy a few items extra of what you normally buy and it soon builds up. I started with tins and packets. I’d buy an extra large toilet roll pack once a month. Toiletries, batteries, candles, matches, washing powder/liquid and cleaning products. I’ve got a couple of 10kg buckets for rice and pasta. Only buy what you eat. Don’t forget seasonings, stock cubes and beans pulses for thickening up soups and high in protein and fat. Honey is good and keeps forever. Good for sweetening things and good the immune system. I’ve also stocked up on sweets, chocolates and crisp. I have basic medical supplies in the first aid box which is updated regularly - plasters, gauze, antiseptic, antihistamines, bandages and saline spray. I also make sure I have vinegar and baking powder as these can be used in the house for different things in the house and are cheap. Dried fruit keeps a long time as well as tin. Keep your freezers well stocked too. Don’t forget cereals and porridge. If you have pets, don’t forget to stock up on food for them too.

    Hoping that you are going to post more videos soon. Greetings from New Zealand. An ex-pat Brit here. Lighting and alternative power came in very handy when we had a cyclone come through in February. We were without power for a week - which really tested our preps and pointed out that solar power alone is not enough. 2 or 3 dull days when there wasn't enough sun to recharge our battery bank showed us that we needed a petrol generator to keep the fridge and freezer running. Lesson learned.

    What we do when we use anything from our Prepper store is we write down on a chalk board what we've used and the next time we do a supermarket run, we buy double - thus replacing what we've used and adding to our supplies. Great first video. Looking forward to more.

Toilet paper has never been an issue even during lockdown I helped a few elderly couples when they couldn't get any. Store what you eat though, unless you buy things to barter along the way. Great points you make ❤

    You could move your tea bags into glass jars with a screw-top lid. That would keep them sealed up tight and you could buy in bulk and swipe from storage to move some into your regular kitchen. Same for pancake mix, sugars, etc. Also, for a true emergency, you might want to stock up on charcoal briquettes or even better, an eco stove that burns several types of fuel. I have one called an Eco-Zoom, I believe, that also burns small twigs if you don't have the fuel pellets. Just an idea. Oh! water filters too!
