Good Morning! I cannot believe that I just noticed this morning the writing on your cap. tsalagi... I was born in Tahlequah, Ok and am half Cherokee. Learned to speak English when I went to school. I love your videos, very wise, helpful, inspirational, and direct. But now.... Love them 1000% more. Great to see a Agilvgi up on screen. Wa Do. A'Ho.
Watching as I can my homegrown tomatoes for the very first time. Six pints may not seem like much, but each jar feels like a miracle to me. God bless you, Patara!
I'm 59 .... I grew up poor, but we never went without a meal or a home .... As a young adult, with a new baby, I skipped meals to feed him, but never went a full day without something to eat ... NO, we haven't had it rough, yet ... but it's coming ...... I learned early to butcher, garden, can, and get by .... It's been a while, but I've discovered I can still do it I've done my big cut-back .... after 45 years, I've quit smoking .... everything else should be easy ;-)
Here is a tip on saving toothpaste: A dentist once told me that you only need about the size of a pea worth of toothpaste on your brush. I have tested to see just how much less you could go and still have plenty foam in your mouth. You would be very surprised to find that it only takes a bare smear to get the job done. A standard size tube of toothpaste can last me 6 months!!! Try it!!!!
The major difference between 1929 and now is the degree of respect for one another. In 1929 People weren’t being murdered for the newest sneakers. This upcoming time will be much more dangerous. Band together with like minded people for there is strength in numbers. God bless us and protect Your people.
So true my 4 year old grandson had a melt down the other day when I said no to going into Casey’s for a treat while we got gas-explaining we are not getting something every time we need to go to town. The generation is not used to delayed gratification at all. Making apple butter to can today !
It was 7 years ago that I started feeling deep in my core that things weren't right... Those feelings lead me to learning about prepping. Learning about prepping I knew when SHTF happens , that day you start using your preps was the clock starting to when you run out of supplies. We are now on our homestead journey. 19 Beef cows, 2 Jersey dairy cows, pigs, chickens, turkeys and a large garden that we can or freeze everything. We are in very risky times and its time to get real with ourselves.
I am so thankful I grew up poor in materials, but rich in watching my Mother(Mommy) cooking on a wood stove, growing our own food, carrying water from a creek a mile away. sewing by hand, ....I miss those times, we were rich in Love, ... look at us now,...can't visit because of FEAR. Sorry this is a jumbled mess, prayers for Grace.
I don't have cable and I have an android. I cut my hair, and dye it. I don't go to doctors for about 6 years now. I am happy. I have God, health and tranquility. You are put there to open people's eyes. Thanks, Zaida Puerto Rico
The “Tightwad Gazette” has been my go to for 20+ years! Great ENCOURAGING read! You should have seen the look on the faces of my church family when I told them we were butchering chickens this weekend - most people are so far removed from their food! Most wouldn’t survive a Great Depression because we are so spoiled. Keep on keeping on - and blessings to you and your family!
I have lived exactly what you are trying to warn people about since fall of 2018. I have had many health issues, had three major hospital stays, multiple surgeries, nearly died on more than one occasion from being septic with MRSA, and lost my right leg below the knee. I am still blessed and we are doing OK now. I say all of that not for sympathy but to reinforce that it absolutely can happen to you. Patera thank you so much for trying to wake folks up.
I am preparing to have hard times ahead. Especially if the leadership takes a path I am not willing to follow. I pray everyday for more strength to stick to my convictions and have told my grown children, who are not conservative leaning, that I am preparing to get through to better times if that is my path. But as I move ahead my only goal now is to continue to spread the saving grace of Jesus, and I believe I have to be prepared to give my life for that gospel, and God knows the number of my days and will see me through to the end of the mision he has for me and then he will take me home. Thank you for your willingness to talk when others will not.
That really brought a tear to my eye. I felt the message. Making bread from scratch with my 11 year old son today (our homeschool lesson). 😊 God Bless you all!
Peace Patara, I came from 3rd world country running from cumminuism after veitname world. The cumminish have caught up with me. I been in food line and clothes hand out in the refugees camps. Now I'm trying to teach and tell my children about what is coming to America. America as we know it is over! Your video is very helpful to wake people up and consider their way.
Someone send this to Jack Murphy. The other week he was crying on Tim Pool's show about how if his son doesn't take the shot he might not be able to play high school baseball. Homie, please, my autistic child has been without any of his therapies since all this started. And it doesn't look like any of that is changing anytime soon. Cushioned city people accustomed to modern, immediate convenience truly have no idea what is at stake. I've lived both city and rural life. The city people, and this also goes for city people who "fled" to more rural areas over the past year and haven't adapted their lifestyle or mindset, are so screwed and yet they have no idea how bad it's going to get.
Hurricane coming where my daughter lives and I was going over what she needed to do... she said "Mom, I got this. Look who raised me. You are the most resourceful person I know" I almost fell over. They retain more than you think they do! Thank you for reminding people to get it together because it's coming
My son made fermented sauerkraut for the first time, he kissed me on the cheek and “said thanks for teaching me, it was easy”. Tomorrow will be roasted peppers in oil.
your absolutely right. i raise my three grand children 6,5, and 2 they are all doing chores the older 2 have been doing dishes and sweeping, the youngest puts things away. they all 3 have been learning to wash clothes by hand, and grow a garden as well. i have also been teaching the oldest how to cook and to can, all supervised. we are hoping to add chickens, quail and rabbits to the mix shortly as well. they also watch little house on the prairie to have a bit of understanding what it may look like. i home school them too. they will be adults that will know what hard work is and how to go the extra mile i pray.
You're right, we need to do more. We have almost every meal here at home, lots of beans/rice (bonus of being Mexican descent), homeschool, and watch/read Little House. I would love if we weren't in a city suburb in a desert climate--but I'm just going to pray that God has is exactly where He wants us for whatever it is that may come.
These are incredible times playing out right before our eyes. Things are changing daily. I'm stocking, talking, and praying. Praying for us all. Praying for you and your family. Praying for the blind to see. A Wise Woman you are. You're not crazy. Hugs to you. We love you.
I am an RN and right now, my job is secure... but I'm busting my butt to get my bills paid off and we're going to start stocking up.... This world right now is scaring the Hell out of me.... if I can just get Hubby on board it would be much easier but with or without him.... I WILL make it happen....
We bleed orange here too! You are so, so wise for your years. Your parents and grandparents, your husband, your life have been great teachers and you’ve been a student sponge. Common sense is such a rare commodity these days. Your have an abundance.
I started making them pay attention to shelves at the store last year and we’ve been cutting back. Some may think that was cruel but I didn’t want them surprised and stressed if/when it gets worse. We have to be real with our kids...especially these days.
Praying so hard for your family and for all of the true Christians in this country. May we all be covered in the blood of Jesus, and stand up against what is going on. Love your channel :)
i've been homeless, i've slept in my car in the middle of winter. i became a prepper because of that. so when there are good times, i stock, so i don't have to go through that again. Want someone to learn and feel pain? take them camping with no cell phone, no being able to run to the store or order out. You have to figure out life out there on your own, and i don't mean for a weekend, i mean for a week or more, that will give them to wake up a bit. I was lucky I had my car to sleep in. It gave me some shelter. I knew others that were sleeping under the bridges, next to a freezing river...........hard times are ahead, hold your family close and you will get through it. good luck.
We have been practicing the "cut back" lifestyle for quite a while now. Is it fun? Heck no! But it is what is. Haven't been on a vacation in over ten years. My Granny wore patched clothes even though she had good ones. She preached not to waste anything. I thank God every day for blessing me with her. Blessings on you and your family!
How have I just now found your channel? We are also a homeschool family, just getting into chickens and came across your video on buff orpingtons. Sister you are speaking my language! We're living through history, and it's past time to be prepared. 🙏🙌❤️
It’s amazing how many people I try to awaken from their uninformed comas that look at me like I’m insane. Sometimes you just have to walk away. Those that are here know what I mean. Thank you for always being positive and keeping it honest. Prayers for you and family in these worrisome times. God bless.
The war we thought was coming is here. It's going to be a slow drag, like a tug of war. They have gotten us addicted to instant gratification and surplus because their tactics will be dependent on those factors. Good luck everyone...we're going to need our strongest selves.
Yes, yes and yes! Exactly how my mind has been running for some time now! I’ve been telling my husband and grown children “ WE’RE ALL living like rich people “ I feel with my whole heart we’re about to see change like we ain’t never seen the likes of!
Just finished shoveling, pushing a wheelbarrow, and spreading 6 loads of my home made compost to prepare my fall garden here in the deep south. Staying busy! Preparing for the hard times, thankful for God's provisions. Blessings to you Patara!
Talk to the elderly!!! My parents were both WW2 kids. My father American, my mother was English. To hear them talk their lives were so different with what was available to them and how they were raised. They were a wealth of information of what can be done, what they lived without that we take for granted. Learn now... You nailed it with the kids, I homeschooled my 3 grandkids and part of that was "LifeSkills". If I was working, they were by my side learning. As young adults, they are aware of my thoughts on this, and we have these discussions often. Not with fear, just change. God's word says there is nothing new under the sun, this is not the first time that there has been a turning from God that impacted all.... although it may be the last. We may not know the details until they are fully out in the open, but they are still the work of satan and the turning away of God's people.
You are a wise woman. Thanks for teaching us things we need to know. Things are jumping off the pages of Revelations into the living world. My prayers are with you my precious sister in Christ. Stay strong. I pray for you and yours daily.
Still praying for your family and this Nation. I have been showing my grand kids how to grow food how to save it and seeds too. How to forage in the woods and forest for food and edibles. How we can use what God gave us for medicines.
It has been a very hard 10 years trying to get family to see what you are saying. My fears pushed my family away but some are seeing now what I was seeing then. I thank God for working in all the Saints worldwide. Thank you, Dear Sister.
I just had this conversation with my 19 yo & my 20 yo a couple hrs ago, and then this video showed up in my recommendations. We talked about rationing our household items, now. I've already cancelled a few television and computer subscriptions, and I hope I can keep Internet for as long as possible, because I run a home daycare. I let my own kids know their generation has been brought up in a time of plenty and excess to the point it's been a life comfortable with considering everything is disposable, including as being an employee. We're making adjustments now to ease into what is obviously coming. It's time for everybody to do some hard thinking g and get ahead of the next step. God bless, All!
You're going through Rough Stuff and you're still out there trying to help us. God bless you ✝️. I love your tough love and your caring. I love how your uplifting messages encourage me, because I've been struggling mentally. Thank you.
I've been poor. I know how to be poor! I can do poor with style! My grandpa was a wealthy man during the prohibition. He lost everything when it ended. Grandpa used to always say, " we may not have a big house. We may not have a big fancy car. But we eat well." He said of my grandmother, " She can take a fist full of nothin' and whip up a feast fit for a king!" My grandmother had a talent for making a home run on very little. I can do that, too. I used to shop at Neiman Marcus and Bloomingdale's 40 years ago. Know what? Those clothes that I paid so much money for that I'm embarrassed to say don't last one day longer than the clothes that I buy at Goodwill today. I buy my cars at auctions and do not finance them. I own my home. I paid cash for it. I get spam all the time offering to "re-----finance" my home. I never had the FIRST mortgage on it or the apartment that I sold to purchase this one. It's not the biggest or fanciest on the block but it's solid and we are comfortable here. We've decorated it with furniture from auctions and Craig's List. I only pay retail for food...and then only at close-out or sale prices. I can bake the best bread you have wrapped your mouth around. I can cook beans and potatoes and chicken and dumplings that will make you stand right up and sass yo mama! I used to go to Europe or to Costa about 4 times per year. Now there's no place I would rather be than at home...taking care of my best buddy, George...my Golden Retriever, My Siamese cat, Ike, and my husband, Federico. You are so right to admonish people to watch their money. Nobody has been promised another heartbeat and likewise nobody has been guaranteed another paycheck. Best be ready to learn how to survive on as little as possible.
We are a soft soft nation. Most alive today have not experienced truly hard times. It’s Terrifying. It won’t go well if things truly collapse. Your words and so wise and resinate with me. Peace be with you.
You and your family are in my prayers. This country is in my prayers. The world is in my prayers. I pray for all evil to be exposed, for all eyes to see. May God Bless America.
Have 2 young grandkids and thinking about the world they will inherit. Their parents think all is ok and will continue to be. I feel like I need to train them on survival skills. I try to do it in a fun way now.
Regardless of what side a person is on, EVERYONE is going to be affected by this, in one form or another. Some will be affected more than others. We have already had this chat with our kids, long before CV came on the scene. Thanks for your thoughts on this Patara. Now I'm gonna go order that book!! God bless, my beautiful sister!
My concern also is that in addition to people not having the skills, we have lost the consensus of the Judeo-Christian ethic in this country. You know, don't steal, don't kill, help each other, respect your elders, care for the young and infirm, be honest, work when you can..... In 1929 even the run-of-the-mill American atheist shared this ethic. Today there aren't nearly as many of us.
I was able to get hubby to watch this video... I'm so proud of that. We're in the same boat with my hubby's job... thank goodness he can back out gracefully with a small retirement. (Praying that the bottom doesn't fall out of it) This video should be shared with loved ones.
My husband was injured at work, yesterday we had to travel to a larger city for a doctor's appointment. We stopped at a DQ for a dipped cone off of 77S. It was closed for the day at 4pm, due to no staff....I bought that book years ago after you recommended it, time to dig it out and read it again
My wife's great grandmother traded with Native Americans. No joke. If you are over 50 yrs old you have the privilege to hear stories of the true "Old Days"
Amy D wrote The (original)Tightwad Gazette book and several subsequent ones as well. I've collected them from thrift stores--and love them. Another series is the Foxfire books by Elliot Wigginton which chronicles the old ways of doing things in the Appalachians. I've found a few of them at thrift stores as well.
Hello! Just a friendly greeting from one of your neighbors down the road in Louisville. Please know that you're not the only one preparing for the worst, but praying for the best. We will survive to see another day. Keep the great videos coming!
Praying for your family, our family & every other patriot &/or homesteader in this position. We will push forward, hold the line & thank Jesus for what we are able to do for our families.
I’m so glad I found you. I’ve been telling people these things for years and nobody has ever really listened. They’re starting to listen a little bit. God bless you friend. ❤️
You are a light in a dark place Patara! I am a viewer since 2015! Praying for ya'll, we will ALL be facing this AND if your head is not in the sand you should see it! Get'em girl, you speak for so many of us and can't
The best videos on UA-cam is conversations with grandparents who lived through the Great Depression. If you are lucky enough to still have your nan around maybe you can share an interview with some of her stories. Those are so very precious
I'm with you. As I'm watching you I'm putting seeds up for next year. Can never have too much. Please take care and stay safe. Lots of prayers for your family.
I love the Tightwad Gazette. I remember when each book came out and with their Newsletters. I wish the newsletters were still ongoing. Thanks for everything Patara! Blessings to you and your family.
Brilliant I have been trying to explain this to my husband, he doesn't really beleive anything is happening. I am already living a simple life and I know how to live with less as we were quite poor. Thanks so much for this, I am going to share it with my friends and family
I rejoice in you Miss P, I learn so much, a little something with each video. I wish I could follow you on other platforms but I do not participate on social media platforms and cannot afford patreon. I am sorry. I am an older woman on a fixed income but have benefited greatly from all of your videos. Thank you. Stay the course. Remain well and strong. I believe in you. K
I love The Tightwad Gazette! My sister gave me her hardback copy over 15 years ago. I read that thing cover to cover so many times. It helped me thrive being a stay at home mom when my kids were little. I still use it for recipes. It is well loved, stained, and falling apart.
There was a book written by William Forstchen in 2009 called “One Second After”. While the book deals with the after-effects of an EMP, it is very applicable to today. It was this book that opened my eyes to the possibilities that can happen and made me begin becoming more self-reliant. It isn’t for the faint of heart but I highly recommend it. Thank you, as always Patera. You are level headed and clear-eyed. Keep up the good work. God is in control of it all, even when it doesn’t seem like it!
I used to get the Tightwad Gazette many years ago when it was the printed newsletter that the book is based on. Amy was the mother of the new frugal movement (generations past were frugal out of necessity). If you wanted to write to her, you would just address it to The Tightwad Gazette or the Frugal Zealot, Leeds, Maine. Her family was on the Phil Donahue Show and people were horrified that she bought her kids used clothes, shoes and toys. I still have my original copy of the book.
I'm sure I'll need to help my parents who are up in their years because they aren't able to do much of anything. What you said is so true. The more things I see the more I know how I need to keep doing what I'm doing. Continuing in prayer for your family.
Exodus 28:35 And it shall be upon Aaron to minister: and his sound shall be heard when he goeth in unto the holy place before the LORD, and when he cometh out, that he die not.
Me and the wife have had this conversation for the past few months. We are ready to shut down our restaurant and do some side hustle jobs instead. We will only serve our Father not anyone else. We have had this business for over 21 years and have sacrificed so much, no vacations, not a lot of fancy things. We live well below our means and help others when we can. The Father has given us a lot and we are blessed. We will continue to do what we have to do to stay free from the beast. I have all my books in the form of hard copies because i feel the time will come when we will need. God Bless I should add the wife and I both grew up without a lot so we can do it again if need be. At 54 I will survive but I will have enough toilet paper that I will not go without. (a little funny for this serious time)
In th 90s my kids were young and i did have a talk with them about things to come and what might have to happen. Now 15 yrs later .... Its momma said ....
I appreciate ur encouragement to scale back. We're already doing it but we need to scale back more. We definitely have to have a conversation with our 6yr old that Christmas is going to be a bit slimmer this year. We got our first batch of meat birds and have a couple weeks to go with them. I'm excited to be able to eat my own home grown chickens 😄 Besides inflation, there is also a supply chain collapse going on, so get things that u can to last u through the winter. Much love and respect. So glad I found ur channel 💕
Oh my gosh so so so true! We live in ND and just got a woodstove this summer installed. What will happen with people in the north if they cant afford to heat their homes??? Back in the day a fireplace or stove were common now not so much. I am so grateful we will be warm this winter no matter what may come our way.
Your channel is wonderful. We have been telling our children to prepare for a long time and when the shortages hit they were scrambling for things. I do hope they learned a little from that experience and keep stocked up a lot more. I worry about my grandchildren and greats they are so not prepared and they do not believe in what is going on. Thanks for your channel!!
I have always enjoyed you and your channel. Every since I saw you with Starry Hilder at a convention you both went to....You guys amazed me then and you do still today. Very strong influences in my journey that I started several years back. Thank you for being that for me. I pray for us all! You are right. We need to be prepared and continue to prepare for what ever comes next.
Wow! This is a great channel but this is her best video I've ever watched for what's going on right now. Hard truth, hard love I'm sure, this is a good woman, God bless every one of us.
Amazing THANK YOU for sharing what alot is afraid to even talk about. Praying for you and your family. i ask you pray for mine as well. Our grandmother and grandfathers trusted and believed the Lord for everything and we have been so spoiled to all this convenience that alot of times forget all about the Lord. HE is all we have to trust in but HE is all we need !!! Be encouraged God Is Faithful !!! Much 🙏🏻
I talked to my Mamaw when she was still here about the Great Depression and what it was like. She grew up in the Mississippi Delta. She said they were already dirt poor and the two things that hit them hard were losing her father in Dec. 1925 and the flood soon after, so she had to learn how to cook and clean when she was just a child to help her mother because her mother had to work. So my Mamaw kept the house and took care of her sister and little brother. Mamaw was 10 when the Depression hit but it was the flood that ran them out of their home. The flood took what little they did have that they couldn't get out. I think most of Mississippi was really poor and didn't know they were in the Great Depression.
You are SO RIGHT about talking to your kids and explaining! It’s something I don’t think parents do much anymore. They expect the “school” to teach them . See what a mess that’s become!!
Good Morning! I cannot believe that I just noticed this morning the writing on your cap. tsalagi... I was born in Tahlequah, Ok and am half Cherokee. Learned to speak English when I went to school.

My elder is a fluent speaker & language teacher. I have several videos with her.

Sorry this is a jumbled mess, prayers for Grace.

You can lead a man to knowledge, but you cant make them think.
Agree with you.
Another concern about today's people versus 1929 people: poor physical condition and low overall physical and mental health.
I have lived exactly what you are trying to warn people about since fall of 2018. I have had many health issues, had three major hospital stays, multiple surgeries, nearly died on more than one occasion from being septic with MRSA, and lost my right leg below the knee. I am still blessed and we are doing OK now. I say all of that not for sympathy but to reinforce that it absolutely can happen to you. Patera thank you so much for trying to wake folks up.
I am preparing to have hard times ahead. Especially if the leadership takes a path I am not willing to follow. I pray everyday for more strength to stick to my convictions and have told my grown children, who are not conservative leaning, that I am preparing to get through to better times if that is my path. But as I move ahead my only goal now is to continue to spread the saving grace of Jesus, and I believe I have to be prepared to give my life for that gospel, and God knows the number of my days and will see me through to the end of the mision he has for me and then he will take me home. Thank you for your willingness to talk when others will not.
That really brought a tear to my eye. I felt the message. Making bread from scratch with my 11 year old son today (our homeschool lesson). 😊 God Bless you all!
This is one of the most sober advice I've heard on UA-cam. I agree 1000%.
You are ABSOLUTELY CORRECT.
Peace Patara, I came from 3rd world country running from cumminuism after veitname world. The cumminish have caught up with me. I been in food line and clothes hand out in the refugees camps. Now I'm trying to teach and tell my children about what is coming to America. America as we know it is over! Your video is very helpful to wake people up and consider their way.
Someone send this to Jack Murphy. The other week he was crying on Tim Pool's show about how if his son doesn't take the shot he might not be able to play high school baseball. Homie, please, my autistic child has been without any of his therapies since all this started. And it doesn't look like any of that is changing anytime soon. Cushioned city people accustomed to modern, immediate convenience truly have no idea what is at stake. I've lived both city and rural life.

your absolutely right. i raise my three grand children 6,5, and 2 they are all doing chores the older 2 have been doing dishes and sweeping, the youngest puts things away. they all 3 have been learning to wash clothes by hand, and grow a garden as well. i have also been teaching the oldest how to cook and to can, all supervised. we are hoping to add chickens, quail and rabbits to the mix shortly as well. they also watch little house on the prairie to have a bit of understanding what it may look like. i home school them too. they will be adults that will know what hard work is and how to go the extra mile i pray.
AMEN! The “old” ways are important to remember! “Those who refuse to remember their history are destined to repeat it” -George Santyana
You're right, we need to do more. We have almost every meal here at home, lots of beans/rice (bonus of being Mexican descent), homeschool, and watch/read Little House. I would love if we weren't in a city suburb in a desert climate--but I'm just going to pray that God has is exactly where He wants us for whatever it is that may come.
I'm praying for your family and everyone else . These are scary times, the more people prepare the better!
I agree with you!!! Things are definitely changing and not for the better!!!
This was the SMARTEST video I have ever watched. Thank you lady. A lot of people needed this.
These are incredible times playing out right before our eyes. Things are changing daily. I'm stocking, talking, and praying. Praying for us all. Praying for you and your family. Praying for the blind to see. A Wise Woman you are. You're not crazy. Hugs to you. We love you.
I am an RN and right now, my job is secure... but I'm busting my butt to get my bills paid off and we're going to start stocking up.... This world right now is scaring the Hell out of me.... if I can just get Hubby on board it would be much easier but with or without him.... I WILL make it happen....
You are the Voice of Light in a World of Darkness. We appreciate you and your channel. Many Blessings to you and your family. 🙏💯🙂💡
We bleed orange here too! You are so, so wise for your years. Your parents and grandparents, your husband, your life have been great teachers and you’ve been a student sponge. Common sense is such a rare commodity these days. Your have an abundance.
I started making them pay attention to shelves at the store last year and we’ve been cutting back. Some may think that was cruel but I didn’t want them surprised and stressed if/when it gets worse. We have to be real with our kids...especially these days.
Praying so hard for your family and for all of the true Christians in this country. May we all be covered in the blood of Jesus, and stand up against what is going on. Love your channel :)
i've been homeless, i've slept in my car in the middle of winter. i became a prepper because of that. so when there are good times, i stock, so i don't have to go through that again. Want someone to learn and feel pain? take them camping with no cell phone, no being able to run to the store or order out. You have to figure out life out there on your own, and i don't mean for a weekend, i mean for a week or more, that will give them to wake up a bit. I was lucky I had my car to sleep in. It gave me some shelter. I knew others that were sleeping under the bridges, next to a freezing river...........hard times are ahead, hold your family close and you will get through it. good luck.
We have been practicing the "cut back" lifestyle for quite a while now. Is it fun? Heck no! But it is what is. Haven't been on a vacation in over ten years. My Granny wore patched clothes even though she had good ones. She preached not to waste anything. I thank God every day for blessing me with her. Blessings on you and your family!
How have I just now found your channel? We are also a homeschool family, just getting into chickens and came across your video on buff orpingtons. Sister you are speaking my language! We're living through history, and it's past time to be prepared. 🙏🙌❤️
It’s amazing how many people I try to awaken from their uninformed comas that look at me like I’m insane. Sometimes you just have to walk away. Those that are here know what I mean. Thank you for always being positive and keeping it honest. Prayers for you and family in these worrisome times. God bless.
The war we thought was coming is here. It's going to be a slow drag, like a tug of war. They have gotten us addicted to instant gratification and surplus because their tactics will be dependent on those factors.
Good luck everyone...we're going to need our strongest selves.
Yes, yes and yes! Exactly how my mind has been running for some time now! I’ve been telling my husband and grown children “ WE’RE ALL living like rich people “ I feel with my whole heart we’re about to see change like we ain’t never seen the likes of!
Just finished shoveling, pushing a wheelbarrow, and spreading 6 loads of my home made compost to prepare my fall garden here in the deep south. Staying busy! Preparing for the hard times, thankful for God's provisions. Blessings to you Patara!
Talk to the elderly!!! My parents were both WW2 kids. My father American, my mother was English. To hear them talk their lives were so different with what was available to them and how they were raised. They were a wealth of information of what can be done, what they lived without that we take for granted. Learn now...
You nailed it with the kids, I homeschooled my 3 grandkids and part of that was "LifeSkills". If I was working, they were by my side learning. As young adults, they are aware of my thoughts on this, and we have these discussions often. Not with fear, just change. God's word says there is nothing new under the sun, this is not the first time that there has been a turning from God that impacted all.... although it may be the last. We may not know the details until they are fully out in the open, but they are still the work of satan and the turning away of God's people.
I'm so mad that we are where we are, because it never should have come to this. All I can say is: LET'S GO BRANDON!
Spent 30 years in military and 20 years in dairy farming. Not looking for pain but ready when it comes. God will provide help if we need it.
I also still read the Tightwad Gazette and have encouraged my daughter to do so as well. Prices may have changed but the knowledge is timeless.
Thank you for the "hard talks" I'm listening and preparing. That which is in your spirit needs to continue to be spoken.
You are a wise woman. Thanks for teaching us things we need to know. Things are jumping off the pages of Revelations into the living world. My prayers are with you my precious sister in Christ. Stay strong. I pray for you and yours daily.
My Wife and I love you all dearly!!! Thank You So Much!!! Peace and Blessings!!!!
Still praying for your family and this Nation. I have been showing my grand kids how to grow food how to save it and seeds too. How to forage in the woods and forest for food and edibles. How we can use what God gave us for medicines.
It has been a very hard 10 years trying to get family to see what you are saying. My fears pushed my family away but some are seeing now what I was seeing then. I thank God for working in all the Saints worldwide. Thank you, Dear Sister.
I just had this conversation with my 19 yo & my 20 yo a couple hrs ago, and then this video showed up in my recommendations. We talked about rationing our household items, now. I've already cancelled a few television and computer subscriptions, and I hope I can keep Internet for as long as possible, because I run a home daycare. I let my own kids know their generation has been brought up in a time of plenty and excess to the point it's been a life comfortable with considering everything is disposable, including as being an employee. We're making adjustments now to ease into what is obviously coming. It's time for everybody to do some hard thinking g and get ahead of the next step. God bless, All!
You're going through Rough Stuff and you're still out there trying to help us. God bless you ✝️.
I love your tough love and your caring. I love how your uplifting messages encourage me, because I've been struggling mentally.
Thank you.
Praying for you all! I've been preparing and praying for what is coming.
I've been poor. I know how to be poor! I can do poor with style! My grandpa was a wealthy man during the prohibition. He lost everything when it ended. Grandpa used to always say, " we may not have a big house. We may not have a big fancy car. But we eat well." He said of my grandmother, " She can take a fist full of nothin' and whip up a feast fit for a king!"
My grandmother had a talent for making a home run on very little. I can do that, too. I used to shop at Neiman Marcus and Bloomingdale's 40 years ago. Know what? Those clothes that I paid so much money for that I'm embarrassed to say don't last one day longer than the clothes that I buy at Goodwill today.
I buy my cars at auctions and do not finance them. I own my home. I paid cash for it. I get spam all the time offering to "re-----finance" my home. I never had the FIRST mortgage on it or the apartment that I sold to purchase this one. It's not the biggest or fanciest on the block but it's solid and we are comfortable here. We've decorated it with furniture from auctions and Craig's List. I only pay retail for food...and then only at close-out or sale prices.
I can bake the best bread you have wrapped your mouth around. I can cook beans and potatoes and chicken and dumplings that will make you stand right up and sass yo mama!
I used to go to Europe or to Costa about 4 times per year. Now there's no place I would rather be than at home...taking care of my best buddy, George...my Golden Retriever, My Siamese cat, Ike, and my husband, Federico.
You are so right to admonish people to watch their money. Nobody has been promised another heartbeat and likewise nobody has been guaranteed another paycheck. Best be ready to learn how to survive on as little as possible.
I just made 7 and 1/2 qt of watermelon rind pickles. Grandma used to make them and they are wonderful, brings back memories of my childhood.
We are a soft soft nation. Most alive today have not experienced truly hard times. It’s Terrifying. It won’t go well if things truly collapse. Your words and so wise and resinate with me. Peace be with you.
This is a hard pill to swallow but needs to be heard and talked about with our families.
Thank you for this extra wake up call. Just when you think you have everything ready, you remember something else. Prayers for you and your family 🙏
You and your family are in my prayers. This country is in my prayers. The world is in my prayers. I pray for all evil to be exposed, for all eyes to see. May God Bless America.
Have 2 young grandkids and thinking about the world they will inherit. Their parents think all is ok and will continue to be. I feel like I need to train them on survival skills. I try to do it in a fun way now.
I feel the same way you do Tracy
I always appreciate your "salt of the earth" words of wisdom. Your advise to us today is so on point and timely. Bless you and your family.
Regardless of what side a person is on, EVERYONE is going to be affected by this, in one form or another. Some will be affected more than others. We have already had this chat with our kids, long before CV came on the scene. Thanks for your thoughts on this Patara. Now I'm gonna go order that book!! God bless, my beautiful sister!
My concern also is that in addition to people not having the skills, we have lost the consensus of the Judeo-Christian ethic in this country. You know, don't steal, don't kill, help each other, respect your elders, care for the young and infirm, be honest, work when you can..... In 1929 even the run-of-the-mill American atheist shared this ethic. Today there aren't nearly as many of us.
I was able to get hubby to watch this video... I'm so proud of that. We're in the same boat with my hubby's job... thank goodness he can back out gracefully with a small retirement. (Praying that the bottom doesn't fall out of it) This video should be shared with loved ones.
My husband was injured at work, yesterday we had to travel to a larger city for a doctor's appointment. We stopped at a DQ for a dipped cone off of 77S. It was closed for the day at 4pm, due to no staff....I bought that book years ago after you recommended it, time to dig it out and read it again
I've started teaching my nephews handyman skills.I agree with this message whole heartedly.
My wife's great grandmother traded with Native Americans. No joke. If you are over 50 yrs old you have the privilege to hear stories of the true "Old Days"
Amy D wrote The (original)Tightwad Gazette book and several subsequent ones as well. I've collected them from thrift stores--and love them. Another series is the Foxfire books by Elliot Wigginton which chronicles the old ways of doing things in the Appalachians. I've found a few of them at thrift stores as well.
Hello! Just a friendly greeting from one of your neighbors down the road in Louisville. Please know that you're not the only one preparing for the worst, but praying for the best. We will survive to see another day. Keep the great videos coming!
Praying for your family, our family & every other patriot &/or homesteader in this position. We will push forward, hold the line & thank Jesus for what we are able to do for our families.
I’m so glad I found you. I’ve been telling people these things for years and nobody has ever really listened. They’re starting to listen a little bit. God bless you friend. ❤️
You are a light in a dark place Patara! I am a viewer since 2015! Praying for ya'll, we will ALL be facing this AND if your head is not in the sand you should see it! Get'em girl, you speak for so many of us and can't
Prayer for your family and James job. Bless you and yours.
The best videos on UA-cam is conversations with grandparents who lived through the Great Depression. If you are lucky enough to still have your nan around maybe you can share an interview with some of her stories. Those are so very precious
After church starting Canning my ghee, tallow and putting up my spices that I grow in my garden here in Alaska. Thanks for all that you do.
Thank you brave wise beautiful woman warrior. Bless you love from Scotland
I'm with you. As I'm watching you I'm putting seeds up for next year. Can never have too much. Please take care and stay safe. Lots of prayers for your family.
I love the Tightwad Gazette. I remember when each book came out and with their Newsletters. I wish the newsletters were still ongoing. Thanks for everything Patara! Blessings to you and your family.
Brilliant I have been trying to explain this to my husband, he doesn't really beleive anything is happening. I am already living a simple life and I know how to live with less as we were quite poor. Thanks so much for this, I am going to share it with my friends and family
I rejoice in you Miss P, I learn so much, a little something with each video. I wish I could follow you on other platforms but I do not participate on social media platforms and cannot afford patreon. I am sorry. I am an older woman on a fixed income but have benefited greatly from all of your videos. Thank you. Stay the course. Remain well and strong. I believe in you. K
I love The Tightwad Gazette! My sister gave me her hardback copy over 15 years ago. I read that thing cover to cover so many times. It helped me thrive being a stay at home mom when my kids were little. I still use it for recipes. It is well loved, stained, and falling apart.
There was a book written by William Forstchen in 2009 called “One Second After”. While the book deals with the after-effects of an EMP, it is very applicable to today. It was this book that opened my eyes to the possibilities that can happen and made me begin becoming more self-reliant. It isn’t for the faint of heart but I highly recommend it. Thank you, as always Patera. You are level headed and clear-eyed. Keep up the good work. God is in control of it all, even when it doesn’t seem like it!
I used to get the Tightwad Gazette many years ago when it was the printed newsletter that the book is based on. Amy was the mother of the new frugal movement (generations past were frugal out of necessity). If you wanted to write to her, you would just address it to The Tightwad Gazette or the Frugal Zealot, Leeds, Maine. Her family was on the Phil Donahue Show and people were horrified that she bought her kids used clothes, shoes and toys. I still have my original copy of the book.
I'm sure I'll need to help my parents who are up in their years because they aren't able to do much of anything. What you said is so true. The more things I see the more I know how I need to keep doing what I'm doing. Continuing in prayer for your family.

Exodus 28:35 And it shall be upon Aaron to minister: and his sound shall be heard when he goeth in unto the holy place before the LORD, and when he cometh out, that he die not.
I love your fire You ve been given a gift from God to help others open their eyes Praise Jesus and thank you for being you
Garden greens, beans and cornbread some sliced tomatoes, all raised by you....a feast to build upon the soul.
Me and the wife have had this conversation for the past few months. We are ready to shut down our restaurant and do some side hustle jobs instead. We will only serve our Father not anyone else. We have had this business for over 21 years and have sacrificed so much, no vacations, not a lot of fancy things. We live well below our means and help others when we can. The Father has given us a lot and we are blessed. We will continue to do what we have to do to stay free from the beast. I have all my books in the form of hard copies because i feel the time will come when we will need. God Bless I should add the wife and I both grew up without a lot so we can do it again if need be. At 54 I will survive but I will have enough toilet paper that I will not go without. (a little funny for this serious time)
In th 90s my kids were young and i did have a talk with them about things to come and what might have to happen. Now 15 yrs later .... Its momma said ....
I appreciate ur encouragement to scale back. We're already doing it but we need to scale back more.
We definitely have to have a conversation with our 6yr old that Christmas is going to be a bit slimmer this year.
We got our first batch of meat birds and have a couple weeks to go with them. I'm excited to be able to eat my own home grown chickens 😄
Besides inflation, there is also a supply chain collapse going on, so get things that u can to last u through the winter. Much love and respect. So glad I found ur channel 💕
Oh my gosh so so so true! We live in ND and just got a woodstove this summer installed. What will happen with people in the north if they cant afford to heat their homes??? Back in the day a fireplace or stove were common now not so much. I am so grateful we will be warm this winter no matter what may come our way.
I really appreciate your direct, no nonsense videos
Hi sweet lady!!! You inspire me every day!
Your channel is wonderful. We have been telling our children to prepare for a long time and when the shortages hit they were scrambling for things. I do hope they learned a little from that experience and keep stocked up a lot more. I worry about my grandchildren and greats they are so not prepared and they do not believe in what is going on. Thanks for your channel!!
Love y'all! Thank you so much.for being real!! God Bless Y'all!
Thank you for all the time you put into these videos! I have learned so much from you. I'm wide awake!❤
I have always enjoyed you and your channel. Every since I saw you with Starry Hilder at a convention you both went to....You guys amazed me then and you do still today. Very strong influences in my journey that I started several years back. Thank you for being that for me. I pray for us all! You are right. We need to be prepared and continue to prepare for what ever comes next.
Wow! This is a great channel but this is her best video I've ever watched for what's going on right now. Hard truth, hard love I'm sure, this is a good woman, God bless every one of us.
Amazing THANK YOU for sharing what alot is afraid to even talk about. Praying for you and your family. i ask you pray for mine as well. Our grandmother and grandfathers trusted and believed the Lord for everything and we have been so spoiled to all this convenience that alot of times forget all about the Lord. HE is all we have to trust in but HE is all we need !!!
Be encouraged God Is Faithful !!!
Much 🙏🏻
I talked to my Mamaw when she was still here about the Great Depression and what it was like. She grew up in the Mississippi Delta. She said they were already dirt poor and the two things that hit them hard were losing her father in Dec. 1925 and the flood soon after, so she had to learn how to cook and clean when she was just a child to help her mother because her mother had to work. So my Mamaw kept the house and took care of her sister and little brother. Mamaw was 10 when the Depression hit but it was the flood that ran them out of their home. The flood took what little they did have that they couldn't get out. I think most of Mississippi was really poor and didn't know they were in the Great Depression.
You are SO RIGHT about talking to your kids and explaining! It’s something I don’t think parents do much anymore. They expect the “school” to teach them . See what a mess that’s become!!
