When I met my wife about 15 years ago she had all the food, medical and water sorted out. She called it the Armageddon stash. I had the stay dry stay warm gear in my trunk. I also had the weapons and ammo. Combined, speaking to community, we became a match made in heaven in a sense. Thanks for this video sir.
I'm so pleased you made the effort to clarify this whole survival preparedness mindset. I'm exactly the same as you.... with one exception. My N.B.C. kit. I cannot leave the house without it. Especially in the years of extremes.
Speacilization and division of labor is why teams, especially good ones, end up on top. Building a community, whether it be family & close friends, your local neighorhood block, a group of likeminded people, etc. is critical and must be done as a priority. No battle was ever won by a lone man and having a group that are assests to fall upon puts you above everyone else including a perfect "lone wolf".
Outstanding guidelines! Love your calm and rational demeanor. So many prep and survival channels are with “the sky is falling” or all about guns. They can be fun, but not very realistic.
Such a great 10 minutes of knowledge! I completely agree with you about community, it's just difficult finding people and a place that everyone will go to in a SHTF situation. Thanks for sharing your experience!
I like this guys content. Presents it in such a way where you feel like you need to listen to this series in its entirety. Demands respect for the content in a complete humble and mastered way. Thank you!
Thanks Josh good stuff to know, I'd like to learn more on primitive traps. I have rat traps for squirrels and I'm getting a few 110conibear traps and snare wire.
Very good video, I believe this series of videos will help many people who still don't have the mentality of a preeper, I've been a Brazilian preeper since 2017 when the trucks strike happened, thanks for the effort to help us with this series of videos ! I apologize if the English is very bad to understand.
Thank you for this reminder! Do you have any advice how to make family and/or friends understand this need? Mine do not want to hear about it.... We have war not much further than 500 miles from our country, but they simply cannot imagine (or do not want to) that our situation might change as well.
Because it is all bullshit. Most people will ignore the danger till it is too late. Then they will feed on those who are prepared. I am from Poland. We have here waves of refugees from Ukraine. They eat our food, drink our water, take our jobs. Community? Families, groups of people from Ukraine had to walk 50-100km and more carry heavy duffel bags (who needs a good pack?) with their small children because they believed that their cars will do the job. Most people are naive blue collars, not green berets. And people are not friendly in general
And make no mistake, marauders will organize into their own groups as well, who will cunningly and strategically collaborate to plunder anything useful that you or your community have.
Cannot wait to see the old girl rebuilt properly! She's deserves it. Also Would love to see a build video on the insanely short Polish AK variant I saw while on hunting trip in Afghanistan in 2012. I don't know what model it was nor have I ever found any information on it..
Never spent any time in SF. Just a grunt. That said... I'm amazed at how similar our philosophy's & gear choices are. I really appreciate your time and efforts to produce. Such valuable videos. Cheers J.
There are 2 kinds of bug out bags ( B.O.B. ). [ 1 ] the Red Alert bug out. Where there isn't time to pack the car, danger is immediate, it's a situation of grab the B.O.B. as you rush out the door. It's a minimalist bag, from 15 to 20 lbs. approx.. [ 2 ] the Emergency bug out. Where you have a couple of minutes to pack the car or truck, and that bag could be 50 to 60 lbs. And there are 2 auxilliary bags. { i } the Winter bag with a sleeping bag, tent, and winter clothing articles. As minimalist as possible. { ii } The Water bag, where you have fresh water ready to drink, made up of water you usually drink, but have cycled through the Water auxilliary B.O.B.. For example, I drink Perrier Sparkling waters. I put a box of it in the Water bag, and the next time I buy this water, I put what's in the bag, into the refrigerator, and the newly bought waters will go into the Water bag. When I was in the Loma Prieta Earthquake, stuck on the road between rock slides, the first thing I noticed was thirst. No time to search for a water source to purify. Thus the fresh water auxilliary bag. But, water purification is also a must.
John Lovell got me thinking along this path a while back. It's true the Lone Wolf thing makes an awesome story book, but I got a family to protect and unnecessary risk is just that. We have wildland near the home and I used to think that might be a safe place to run because everything was behind a locked gate and one day it hit those locks won't last through the first day of shenanigans and then the people coming in will have the advantage of vehicles while I'm on foot. Our task is to build an army, a community and preferably a family, and unlike our current society all of these branches really need to work in harmony to succeed.
I recommend taking the locks off in that situation. Put old rusty ones and rusty chains. They dont even have to work. A new lock and chain advertises that someone is around. An old lock and the people on the outside wont know. Put them on in a way that if they are tampered with you will know.
Awesome man! I can't wait to see the rest of the series but I also need some time to process all of what you just said. Do you have a network as described in this video? How did you start it if you do? Very interesting because most of the informaiton on the internet that I have seen doesn't address this part of it. Keep it up
Called community networks. Start by looking around you community and see what networks already exist. Join one and use the opportunity to meet people and get to know them. Using social interaction find those who volunteered who are like minded. Volunteers tend to work harder for the community. In addition you will learn who has what resources and skills.
I'm more familiar with ultralight backpacking and thru-hiking gear/mentality/rationale but all this makes sense to me. Preppers strike me as, in large part, bushcrafters that have taken potential dangers from other humans into consideration when planning and developing their skillsets. I think the aforementioned communities could learn much from each other. Unfortunately there is a strong contingent of UL backpackers/thru-hikers that view bushcrafters with derision for their lack of leave-no-trace principles. My attitude is that leave no trace is vital, unless there is a tangible need resulting in a meaningful benefit. Bushcrafting, practiced responsibly, easily fits this criteria.
Preppers and bushcrafters are in no way the same thing. The vast majority of preppers have no real world experience, don't practice what they're planning for. Half the ones I've seen never go camping or have even fired the guns they collect. They stockpile massive supplies while living in the city and pretend that the city won't burn down around them, making all that planning useless. I honestly don't see a scenario where "bugging in" makes sense if you live in a city. Bushcrafters in my experience are rarely preppers, but people who love the wilderness, skills, camping, etc. It's more of a hobby than a concern over a SHTF scenario.
You bring up a great point , a "loner" is already alone , can take his bag steal a car whatever take off into the bush an see how that works out , to survive you need others and you hope they have skills even if it's a cheerful old man or woman telling story , today with the fear of nuclear war if it happens there is no surviving maybe a few months for some , it's an end of life on earth thing no matter how deep you dig or how prepped you are , in fifty years when the food runs out an your kids leave the bunker there will be no life just a slow death from radiation for them if they could break the ice off the bunker door to get out because by then it could be a mile thick
An MVP of 500 to 1,000 has often been given as an average for terrestrial vertebrates when inbreeding or genetic variability is ignored.[6][7] When inbreeding effects are included, estimates of MVP for many species are in the thousands. Based on a meta-analysis of reported values in the literature for many species, Traill et al. reported concerning vertebrates "a cross-species frequency distribution of MVP with a median of 4169 individuals (95% CI = 3577-5129)."[8]
My community lacks even the simple things...first they think i am nuts, then i live 20 miles out of town where no one comes to unless they deliver my food that was supposed to be shipped to me, but Walmart backed out AFTER i had paid for my orders. My community wants to help me with prayers and pushing me to come closer to Jehovah. I can't get anyone to come and help me with weed eating, moving stuff around, lawn mowing cooking, gardening. The ONLY helper i have is my back brace, my ankle braise (I had broken my ankle in Three places 3 years ago), and occasionally my knee brace. I am a 62 Year old widow and been doing it alone since the death of my husband in 2007. BUT I GET A LOT OF PRAYERS to help me get my heavy duty work out here done 😟😥😢🤬☹️🤫😖
I hear you loud and clear... it seems when a lot of people ask what do you need, how can we help, it's not the get in and work, get dirty. Action is absolutely needed. You are not nuts freespirit. It's the society we live in. I am in northern CA. Not sure if I am a neighbor, but... would do more than pray!
@@i_am_a_freespirit Condolences...the state is full of religious do-gooders who have your best interests at heart as long as you drink their Kool Aid. Good luck.
Portable solar panels has changed the survival games. 100-200 watt panel with a solar generator and you can almost have the comforts of home. Communications, gps, power tools, and fridges are are now possible out in the "woods".
Glad to hear someone else talking about community (its one of my 14ish Cs of survival, along with another I rarely hear about: cardio/conditioning) being a necessity outside myself and a small handful of other youtubers and that the lone wolf thing is crap. Even in nature the lone wolves typically die of starvation or injury.
In DoD, EPLOs categorize them in sequence: 1) Preparedness is prior risk-mitigation planning & preparation; 2) Fieldcraft/Bushcraft is current active field sustainment operations; 3) Survival is long term risk-mitigation sustainment operations.
Thank you. There's camping, getting lost survival & the fleeing for your life. Lastnight, some of the group watched 2 tornadoes form north of us & moving our direction; not touching down long, if at all on the ground. I was called & it was dark, really hard to see, a person had a cell phone view was pretty clear. My phone was inside along with everyone & all gear. I prayed as I watched...I'm still frustrated no sirens or phone notifications. The whole thing was as though God let us watch where I stood protected from wind, rain I should have been wet. The person with the phone was in the open away from the building & got sand in the eyes pretty bad. The storm was blowing cold wind, it was like when a northern comes, but different; that sound I've heard before. The experiences of my past again I was spared the tornadoes damaging winds. I still think about it how we should've moved out of the area, gone west, but no one even got in a car. I have been praising God ever since lastnight for sparing us. It could have been rough. We had things happen & my preparedness has not been at peak...my reactions seem to be what the rest are going to do. It is mixed options in this little group; some prepare & some don't. It is almost comical thinking on lastnight & getting the video...my mind rushing thoughts get the little ones & what we can grab & go, but was I the only one thinking this way? I don't know; some of the group I talk to more than others. Was it exciting?...yes...was it a duh moment?...yes. I think it was for some where to go? Most places were toward the approaching storm, if we could get in & everything else a toss up. What to do? What to do? I am talking with different ones today. Times are just strange. I even have moments of hesitation or just out of how I normally am. I haven't quite been myself since we got so very sick in December of 2021 through weeks of recovery into 2022. The things that are happen. The world has become different...where is safe to even be now. Hikers being killed. People robbed of their shopping goods. People camping or RVing being found dead. People being followed home. Homes invaded. Some years back at the court house a woman just urinated & I think might've cursed or acted as though nothing had happened. Did she just have a moment of bodily functions not working or was it something else. At the time I thought some pretty supernatural event. I share these bc it isn't the events, but the frequencies of the events are more & more; it is worse & worse. Bugging out or in is a moment by moment choice, but make some guidelines now/today, if this or that & timelines. Repent. Pray. Praise. Prepare. Do not fall away from God, Jesus or God's word. Stand. Hold fast. Endure to the end. Be stregthen with courage. God's 10 commandments. Jesus' commandments. Dave's 5 C's levels. My 5 q's. Skills in all areas possible. Commonsense. Plans: A,B,C,D-Z. I, we, have so much to do, but it seems harder than before to accomplish.
Level one: clothing. That's why I will always live in a warm southerly location. Taking freezing as much out of the equation as possible is of key importance to me. Not worrying about freezing to death is one less huge hurdle to contend with.
What you’re talking about is great but establishing these little communities are mostly not possible in the vast majority of the country. Even if you can find enough time outside of work, kids, etc, you have to find these people and have enough of them to matter. What you’re really talking about is a towns worth of minimal skill sets. This requires organization at a town level. For the majority of normal folks, this requires serious project management and even perhaps a full time professional staff to effectively organize. It would be amazing if we got to a point as a nation where this was valued enough. We need professional companies to help organize these town pod communities and have it mainstream.
Thank you for your selfless service and the education.
The advice, talent, and skills that this group of people freely teach is amazing and greatly appreciated. From my family to you and yours, thank you.

True about community… but have fun trying to establish “That Community.” Majority of people will think your nuts.
The "majority of people" aren't the ones we want anyway. Odds are they won't be welcome.

My community lacks even the simple things...first they think i am nuts, then i live 20 miles out of town where no one comes to unless they deliver my food that was supposed to be shipped to me, but Walmart backed out AFTER i had paid for my orders. My community wants to help me with prayers and pushing me to come closer to Jehovah. I can't get anyone to come and help me with weed eating, moving stuff around, lawn mowing cooking, gardening.
The ONLY helper i have is my back brace, my ankle braise (I had broken my ankle in Three places 3 years ago), and occasionally my knee brace.
