So my husband is a pretty hard core prepper, as in we have enough mres, dry goods, and and survival food to feed our family for a year, we are 80% off grid and produce about 75% of our food, we are all set to survive like this, people have always made fun but now those same ppl are calling and texting for advice. I think it's funny kinda like the Aesop's fable The Ant and The Grasshopper, but we will help Grasshopper out
God and I love you Sissy my friend
@Danielle Adair yep, not so crazy now
Be safe y'all. Watch for scouts from bigger "not cool" type groups that tend to help themselves.
My attitude towards people who laugh at peppers is this: If you're not willing to help me prepare, don't think you're going to help me eat the food God gave me the foresight to store up. We've all spent time preparing for a global catastrophe. Well folks, that day is fast approaching. Be safe, strong and vigilant, don't ignore that "little voice".
Same here always defending why I prep now same people asking wishing they did the same
How great is this seeing a father and his daughter pulling together. Wish there was more of this in our society today
I agree! Watching this family gives me hope for the next generation. My granddaughter is 9 and has no idea what hunger is. I'm grateful for that. My mother died of a drug overdose when I was 5 and my brother was 8. At 5 years old, I weighed 22lbs because mom was sick and dad worked out of town as an electrician. I don't eat oatmeal to this day because of those first 5 years. If I wanted it hot, my brother used hot tap water, and if I wanted it cold, he used cold tap water. That was in the 70's before instant oatmeal! LOL If he fed me breakfast, went to school in my nightgown. If he got me dressed, I went to school hungry.
@@leeannjohnson1808 Lee Ann I'm a product of the fifties. Still don't care for pancakes. But we made em out of flour lard and water. No bisquick to the rescue. The kids today don't get it but then again my grand parents were products of the depression and probably thought the same about me. One good thing about having those roots made me a Jack of all trades and Master of none. Probably what kept me alive in Vietnam. Best lessons were the hard ones and you earned them, and remembered them. Stay safe I think the ride is about to get a little rough
@@kenweberg959 Welcome Home Ken, Thank you for your service. I'm the widow of an Army Vietnam Vet. When this craziness first started, I noticed that first the convenience foods sold out, then the self rising flour, then all purpose flour became hard to find. We already had flour, lard, crisco, then I thought I'd give Palm Oil a chance. Then I got sick and haven't tried it, but it's there when I'm ready! It's amazing what a few simple ingredients will make.
@@leeannjohnson1808 Well Lee Ann thank you and sorry about your husband. Were losing 380 Vietnam vets a day now, most of them like myself from agent orange. The LORD was good to me as he promised 3 score and 10. Everyday is a blessing from here on out. Might think about coconut oil real good and health 2 boot. Learned never to have a problem with left overs. Always thought after a couple days on the chili or the gulosh it tasted better. LOL Eat it till its gone never know where your next meal will come from. I'm as good as an old man can be for whats ahead. Been looking ahead at this mess since at least 2008 when the government and the bankers took us to the wall . Was just a matter of time. Remember better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it. Rice and beans ,flour and lard will keep you going. Be safe and stay tuned
@@kenweberg959 I have and love coconut oil, especially when cooking pasta to keep it from sticking together. My husband's death was attributed to Ischemic Heart Disease caused by A O. My husband ended letters to those serving today "Keep your head down and watch your six". Stay safe.
The generation that laughs at "preppers" have never been really hungry. The soup line kind of hungry. You won't hear someone who survived the Great Depression talking about peppers that way! My motivation for having food in my house is remembering a time in my life where I went hungry. If you have to make the decision that if you and your child both eat tonight, one of you won't eat tomorrow, you make sure you're never in that situation again!
I've never laughed at preppers. I've never known a day of hunger. Things were tight growing up. So my parents taught me how to live off the land. I am trying to teach my friends how to stretch the food they have on hand. How to make simple meals and such. I have actually met people who did not know how to boil an egg. Book wise pretty smart people; but no one ever taught them to cook.
@@ChefCarter it's amazing how far you can stretch food, isn't it? Instead of using flour or corn starch to thicken soups and sauces, I discovered that instant potatoes work just great, add in a vegetable, and you can still thin the soup or sauce later if you need to.
Lee Ann Johnson
Absolutely !
I remember starving, truly starving when I was a kid. I dont want that for anyone in my household .
I remember having one egg a day for several weeks. Eating dog food because i was so hungry. It is something that always stays with you.
@@rayswoodshop4467 damn straight, it stays with you .I won't leave the tiniest bit of vegetable in a can ,before I throw can in trash..After my dad was killed, Mom did her best .my little brother and I had 1 home-made biscuit a day for weeks. We thought a pot of beans was for rich .Welfare, foodstamps wasn't the law then.. Blessings to you and your loved ones 🙏🛐✝️🕊️( I'm a Prepper big time)
@@flyfishing1776 stay safe. Stay healthy :)
" Hope for the best, but prepare for the worst." You're doing the right thing by your family.
My mum always said, "IT'S BETTER TO HAVE AND NOT NEED, THAN TO NEED AND NOT HAVE", you can never be too prepared xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛
Hi Sharon. You mum had a good saying.
Living through storms and floods you get learn to have stuff to surbive a while. It is harder as one gets older and more disabled.
I have always told my kids that saying exactly! Learned from my grandmother
yup, try telling that to the 20 somethings, they just wont listen, ouch.
my mom told me the exact same thing, people need to wake up and listen, believe me they know what they talking about. they're wisdom have carry me along ways
My husband & I are of that older generation you mentioned and we are used to doing a routine prep. I got in the habit of doing that sort of thing every hurricane season -- I make sure we have foodstuff, paper goods, flashlights, candles, etc. on hand to hold us over for a month or so. Matter of fact, most of the time, I replenish what I use up so there's always something on hand. Just in case! It never hurts to be prepared!! So, not everyone from the older generation is as "blind" as the couple you ran across at Walmart. Have a good one!
I agree 🤗
I'm going on 63 & We R prepared
i agree
Very true! I am one of Jehovah's Witnesses and our "leaders" have told all 8 million+ JWs for YEARS to have a "go" bag in case of disaster and right now are telling us to take precautions and be prepared but dont panic. It is only common sense.
My wife and I are in are upper 60's we have been prepared for over a year we are self quarantining ourselves, we bought masks and hand sanitizer's back in January just in case it got bad. Prepping you will look a fool before or after a calamity mishap job loss setbacks
I have been a preppier for 45 years, you never know what tomorrow will bring, my supplies have saved us so many times. My husband thought I was nuts for year. .but in the last few years he has decided that I am not so crazy.
As it was in the days of Noah. They laughed and made fun of him, but when the rains came......it was to late, for God had shut the door! I'm with you Dutch, I stay prepared.
Amen....
the rains from high water suggest god oppened the door
Me too. Holy God gave us a brain. Let’s use it.
And they had 120 years to prepare! Right now, people have 120 days! Start a garden, people!
A silly myth still perpetrated to this day
I work at a Walmart in Canada, we were absolutely slammed yesterday, a lot of older people as well. Was sobering to look at all those seniors and think how vulnerable they are.
My step mom works at walmart. I pray for her every day.
The older generation lived through a lot and most but not all know how to prepare for the worst. If your a prepper and know elderly neighbors and eldery period that you want to see them not to go through a hard time without the essentials, please help them any way possible.
Is your Walmart a part of the Walmart underground tunnel network?
preppers can eat there mistakes non preppers do without.
Truth right there!
Fact!
I always tell people "If i'm wrong I can eat my mistake, if your wrong then your mistake will eat you"
So true. I do like that saying.
That's the most awesome thing I've heard today !
I'm in that older set (60's) and I've been telling my son for years that we need to keep some food stocked, especially since we live up north where we can get snowed in. I've gradually built up some in the pantry but it wasn't hardcore, even though I had that mindset. I've lived through too many storms, floods, and hurricanes to not know to stock up for bad seasons. I warned friends to "thicken" their pantry back in mid Jan, only a few didn't laugh. Now half are asking for advice on how to make substitutions to fit what they do have, and the other half are cussing "preppers" for taking all the groceries. I tell them, nope...preppers had their stuff before everyone else panicked and cleared the shelves. Their own faults. Will help those I can, where I can, but they should have listened.
The ones cussing the preppers need to learn what a prepper is. A prepper is the one that has there supplies before things go south. It is the none preppers that panic and clean the store shelfs and go insane.
That’s the same person that will come begging expecting you to give them stuff
You are so right!
My adult kids and my 11 grandkids come first. If you snooze you loose.
froglick28 actually they will come demanding your stuff.
Well, she wasn't falling for the hype but if she wasn't taking normal precautions, she is toast.
I've been prepping for years. I knew something wicked was coming, I just wasn't sure when. Been telling family and friends to get prepared and they all said I was crazy!!! We'll look what's happening !!!!
We stock two to three months ahead and rotate stock. We also have an heirloom set of seeds -- a huge variety that are stored in the freezer. It's just foolish to not be prepared.
I m 73;
I would NEVER dream of mouthing such a mean spirited sentiment!!!
You are not deserving of such vicious feelings!
I've been sheltered in place for 10 days now; using the God given good common sense HE gave me!
And so are you.
You are a good Family man; doing what good Family men SHOULD BE DOING!!
Poor crank; she must not have had a good man like You.
God Bless you👼
Remember they laughed at Noah. Family first
Noah was one smart patient and strong man. What a hero!!
Yes they did.
Prepare for the return of Jesus that's all that matters in the end but in meantime do prepare to take care of your family
angeleyes9990 amen
@Pinochet's Helicopteryou watch too much TV. If you think this is funny, you won't be laughing when you are not prepared for what is coming
Here's what I was told: The reason for the cancellations of large groups so the virus doesn't spread so fast. The hospitals have only so many ventilators and beds. The object is to slow the spread of the virus, to not overwhelm the hospitals. Makes sense to me.
That’s exactly the reasons
I heard there are only about 195,000 ventilators in the USA. For average use that is enough (sometimes to many). There are only so many ICU beds which people with the Corona virus have to be isolated in and if bad enough have to be put on a ventilator. If it would get bad enough (through the spread of public venues) there would not be enough of beds or ventilators. That's why a lot of governors have restricted public venues to a certain number of people. In Illinois it is restricted to 150 people as of today, 3/12. All concerts, etc are cancelled until further notice. Many nursing home and hospitals are now not allowing visitors and many colleges are closing for now. In Seattle 19 seniors died from Corona virus in 1 nursing home. 30% of people with the virus don't show any symptoms and never get sick but spread the disease.
@@laurabenevelli6783 You guys in the USA should be asking the people in charge
how did it get into the USA?where it came from and who is responsible!!
This is the 2nd time and we didnt learn from the first time. Well guess what if we get threw this the 3rd time is going to be worst!
I basically blame the politicians for doing to little too late.
What you have to ask is why did they even let it get to this point? What you find out is they let it happen. They try to claim incompetence as the excuse.
We lived through so many hurricanes in Louisiana that we have always kept a full pantry, lots of water, basic survival supplies, gas, generators, and other stuff so my family and my neighbors can survive. I don’t think or want the government to take care of me especially when we can take care ourselves. Best of luck. Stay safe and ration from the start.
I was your first like here. Dutch, I am living on disability and get paid on the 3rd of the month. This month is done for bills and extra spending. Michigan got it's first 2 official cases this week. One is in my county. I have underlying issues to be watchful of. I have always planned ahead. I have been here 6 decades and that lady was out of line with her remarks. Here's the punchline my Christian friend, we are all supposed to love one another and help each other. I wonder who she helps?! God bless you and keep your family safe. 🙏🛐💞
@@denisewilson8367 channel 7 just put the news out 2 days ago about the 2 confirmed cases. The governor did her thing within 24 hours of that newscast. State of Emergency and I have heard nothing more. I don't watch TV. Media is creating the panic. I am not a sheep. Bye Denise
I'm in the same situation as you are, Jennifer.I even live in Michigan, too.
It's only wise to be prepared, and at the same time, trust God to take care of you. God expects us to use the intelligence he gave us, and to trust Him for anything beyond that.
Your daughter is such a good helper!
I love how you have your children involved with things around the homestead.
Linda Lance I also like how he included the children in conversation.
Gave me flashbacks to my Dad making me dig holes with a posthole digger and string barbed wire. 😆
Yeah..I had to hide from my dad to avoid blows to the head!
Oh honey, don't talk to other customers in walmart! Just smile and back away slowly 😳
ROFL Too right!!!
Just smile.... exactly and back away
@B Brunson indeed!!!! Now with the their facial recognition system and ties with the government
Smile and wave boys, Smile and wave, do you think we should tell them their out of gas, no just smile and wave, like the penguins just smile and wave, distancing yourself as you do so
I'm with you, people can make fun and judge us all they want. We are not freaking out & scared, just preparing.
Mrs. Hidden Heights Farm step son trolls us. Then calls and ask if he can have a dozen eggs.
My Dad was born in 1933. He told me of struggles his family faced throughput the years. It’s important to always be prepared, even in the best of times.
I'm always prepared. I can, garden, dry, freeze etc. We have a berkey and our spring and our water tank holds 1600 gals and overflows constantly. I have enough home canned food etc. To live off of 6 months. Just use common sense everyone.
Well that is something I haven't run into. EVERYONE is prepping for this and I haven't seen anyone judge. What I would be concerned about is maybe that old lady didn't have the money to do what you and many are doing and that's why she was defensive about it (SSI checks come on the 1st and this is nearing the end of the month, think about it). I went down the street to where I know an elderly lady lives alone and asked her if she needs help getting anything or needs any food. Yeah, that reaction wasn't normal, so there was something else going on with her. Sure preppers get judged and mocked, during times that are good, (and they shouldn't, of course) but people aren't judging people now unless they're HOARDING too much. It's those that prepped during the stable times that we all need to thank because they aren't contributing to the shelves getting empty right now.
Heck a guy about 40 saw my gloves I was wearing at store and about passed out with the deer in the headlights look.Imagine if I was wearing my N95!!
@@mightyspuds , I went into buy grocers with glove's & mask it was so strange. I did encounter some nasty looks, but at one point i found myself in an row with 2 other glove & mask wearing people. I made sure to point this out to both of them.
And the ones that aren't prepared are going to try and take anything they can from those who were!
Try is the key word. Success may be difficult.
That will cause you to bleed out on my carpet if somebody thinks they can take our stuff👍
@@sarge8632 that's what I'm talking about 👍
this is awakening many in my family line. They laughed at me for canning and putting up and storing what we can on a fixed budget. I am a single parent for many years not by choice but through it all God is good. I am learning also how my pantry has helped feed a single mom with 2 kids in the big city. I am trying to teach my son and his family more. My other son and his family prep a little bit better.
I'm 60, and I'm prepared for the most part; just need to pick up more food for the animals, which will be done next week. It's crazy for people to think this is going to disappear overnight, and that they don't need to get extra medication, food, water...the list goes on, to cover at minimum 3 months. I have children that sound like that old woman, it's frightening to think they are willing to put their family's and their own well being at risk.
I agree with you Dutch, your family is priority number one! Who cares what the nay Sayers say. God gave you a family so continue to be that good steward you are. The shame belongs to them!
🙏🏻🌟😍
Preparing is insurance just like u put on your car, life, house, and motorcycle
Fact God even said store up
@@dailyways8344 that's your choice and your family, my family has always been strong god gave use brain and my brain has always worked out it is better to have than not have
Plus Jesus always pushed for people to be ready, take care of one another, and move forward not backwards
It's insurance you can hold in your hand and/or eat! You can't eat gold/silver/digital currency!
Old school. Have a years supply of food in the house. I do just like when I grew up
MOST ARE SO COMPLACENT THAT THEY CANT DO ANYTHING AT ALL WITH OUT BEING TOLD BY THE GOVERNMENT..!!! Roy
Zip ties work great too! I used them on my tarps. You can get every eye tied down that way.
I only buy the best for my animals.😉
Flour, sugar, tea, coffee, canned goods, hand soaps, cleaning supplies and extra medical supplies...we can make bread and we will be fine!!
Dont forget your water supply as well. Store up rain water and bottled water. Can't survive without water
When I first heard of the CV I started preparing . Stock up my pantry just in case. Better to be prepared than not. So far it is not in Alabama but they have tested two but the results are not back yet. Good luck and God bless.
I'm in AL too, we figure with our homestead we could survive on what we have if we had to quarantine ourselves.
Same here! I bought big boxes of n95 masks and started prepping before anyone was really concerned. Hubby thought I was a nut, but went along with it. My mom instantly prepped when I told her to, she knows I don't jump unless I feel it deep in my soul and I did with this one. Stay safe! 🙏
Most us preppers were ready we were just doing some re stocking aka topping off stuff. The ones out going crazy are the sheep who weren’t prepared for more then a couple days of no food even a few nurses I work with are very naive most are starting too see it’s gonna get bad
I believe we should be ready watching the eastern sky. We are seeing end of times.
Humanity has been through worse. It is not the End of Times. Which gets predicted with certainty year after year, decade after decade. The virus is bad, but hoping for the End of Times doesn't make it better.... or honest.
We are living in perilous times, and the world we knew.....when the dust clears, will not be the same world. End of times, Yes!......or at least way different then before CV......THAT WORLD LONG GONE🌸
@@sheilazimmerman3905 Yes, things will indeed be different, but there will be continuity. Not an "end of times".
@Diann T I was basically stating end of times yes, in terms of our lives before CV. That life we had will be long gone. Have a great day and stay safe🌸
@@diannt9583 yes there have been worser times but the Bible says the end times will be like a woman in labor. Contractions then rest and repeat until contractions are non stop- and then before you know it, your baby is here. That's how Jesus's return will be. Like a theif in the night.
I'm 75 and I've been a "prepper" for 50 years, but to me "prepper" just means having enough food and water and supplies on hand that you can hunker down for a couple months with no advance notice. It just makes sense to me, since I've survived a couple of major earthquakes and learned that when it comes to emergencies, I might have only myself to rely on.
Prepare for the coming of the Lord, also. Id rather be prepared then sorry! People have to prepare because it will be empty and you always can use it later. Some people fear everything but the Lord, and If only they knew that when you know the lord and abide in him he has a peace that surpasses anything and he gives it to you.! So does it make sense to not seek him? If you dont then... keep on fearing! Hadley helps out so much! Blessed to have those girls Dutch!
jeanette c The 10 Virgins in the Bible. Being prepared is scriptural. Have your oil lamp full, (God’s Word) as well as your Pantry. God gives us 5 senses we should use them. 🌸
SHEILA ZIMMERMAN thats what I said. Btw, alot of people confuse themselves with the Ten virgins, it is not the church. However, we are to study, pray, and abide with the Lord. Watch Gene kim or Chuck Missler on that. Thank you for your comment. We are seeing alot of prophecy unfold!!
Jeanette c. Thank you!
There is a difference between prepping and hoarding. I always have an extra pack of toilet paper, detergent, canned food, etc. The only thing could have used was bread, bought buns instead. But I have a bread maker if the need came to be. But these people that boarded all that stuff was selfish. We had some that were buying up hand sanitizer and paper goods to resell it.
People went 1000's of years with out toilet paper. Us veterans are trained for this just look at the toilet paper we get in MRE's
lol thats not toilet paper wipe once and you might aswell just use your finger and wash
hence swamp ass hooah
Older generations used corn cobs, phone book pages, and catalogs. The outhouses were full of them, even newspapers. Oh how the times have changed. Old socks and pieces of t-shirts as well.
My grandparents didn't get an inside toilet till 1977 when we repurposed a room for one.
T-shirt sleeves and poison ivy leaves do the trick as well.
It is never crazy to be prepared for bed times. You are not frenzied, you are looking out for your precious family. Keep up the good work.
The corona virus is not as bad as the flu, except with the elderly. Healthy people will just get a bad cold (like i have now). The elderly shouldn't be out in public. If i know of any elderly people that don't have family, i will volunteer to do their shopping for them.
Patricia W That just isn’t factual at all.
@@lydiablustin what isn't? More deaths are caused by the flu and they already said most people who get it will just get symptoms of a cold or less. The people who are at high risk are the ones that have to worry. Elderly, compromised immune systems............
Not true! It is 3×s worst than the flu! Infectious Disease doctor has stated this today. CDC is dragging their ass and need to get busy developing testing kits.
It isn't just the elderly get the virus. There is a 30 yr old health guy who contracted the corona. It is worse than the flu. It's not just a cold ..its life threatening.
Anyone can get it but the only ones who need to worry are those with compromised immune systems and the elderly. Pandemic just means it's contagious and will spread. It doesn't mean it is deadly. Just simple facts...
Never hurts to be ready for anything and when you have kids yes always be ready. 🌺🥰🌺
What about the hen house roof? It’s still open to the weather at the peak?
Everything looks so nice. Shows a lot of work has gone into your farm👏👏👏
It's only open on 1 side. He closed the other side. It would have to rain perfectly to get in that opening
Smart man, caring husband and father. My grandparents talked about the great depression and then WWII hit with rationing and my father was in Gen. Paton's 3rd army and told stories of how Europe survived the war eating whatever they could find, living under big rocks/trees and bridges . I grew up learning how to do everything from correctly planting, harvesting and preserving food to sewing on an old treadle sewing machine. The lessons have never stopped until 30 yrs ago when I became an old person...lol. Now I can just get it done and wait it out.
Check out "Great Depression Cooking" here on youtube.
The way I see it is it's better to be prepared just in case. Anything can happen at anytime.
For years people have made fun of preppers. No one is laughing at them now.
Hey, I have been preparing for the last 3 weeks. A little at a time. I feel comfortable with what I have purchased.
Just letting you know that I am 68, and I am a prepper,this lady is not awake,but she will have an awakening,let's pray that it won't be to late.
we dont prep out of fear i like to eat an stay safe all the time.
I think what you show your daughter and what she learns from you through life will be in valuable to her
Hay dutch I'm send my cat to you so your dog can teach him how to catch a mouse. He just supervises them in the house.
🤣🤣🤣🤣Hilarious!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hahahahahahahaaaaa!!!
@Samuel,,,,, That means your cats Mother was either not allowed outside of the house , nor her babies , or your cat was taken Away from her Mom Before mom had a chance to teach her took away too Early from mother 🐈🐅♥️
Just decrease how much you feed your cat, when they are hungry they will work on hunting mice, small birds, other small rodents, ...and some cats will tackle catching rabbits.
I went to Meijer to pick up a few things when I got off work at 3am. There was no meats,Toilet paper, milk, bread, buns, limited amount of cheese, eggs, orange juice, Jello and laundry detergent. Here in SE Indiana, we are under a school shutdown for 3 weeks, there is a ban on parades, arenas, statiums, Theatres and gatherings of 100 or more people. We just need to use common sense, if you are feeling sick or have ANY symtoms of a illness stay home and away from everyone. We need to wash our hands more frequently and not touch anywhere on our face. Remember to sanitize your phone every time you pull it out in public. A study came out and said the CV virus lives in plastic and steel surfaces up to 3 days and is stays airbourn for 3 hours. Be safe. GOD BLESS
Those peeps like that cashier are gonna be the ones coming to our homes and try and take what we prepaired for. Love my God guns and dogs!
They won't be trying they will be doing, unless you have a formidable force your toast.
They will go after the defenceless.
They will take the mark of the beast. They will take the chip ️😔
We prepper will have Tshirts printed with “I told you so”
Deerheart Adornments My t- shirts will say, Stay Back 6 Feet!
I love it im doing it too!!
They just closed all the schools here in Ohio starting Monday. 😳 this is no joke..
Yup.
ontario canada has march break for 2 weeks then after that the schools are close for extra 2 weeks
They closed 43 school districts in Washington until April 24th! My husband has been forced to work from home for a minimum of two weeks, but after todays mandates from the governor, that may change. I am very concerned about our medically fragile friends and family! I plan on spending the next month making special memories with my kids. Making the most of this time with them.
Same here in NM at about 6PM they made the announcement that all public schools in the state are closed for the next 3 weeks. We are prepared not just now but always. I am concerned even though I no longer work my husband and daughter do and my worry is that they will bring it home to me and my health is already compromised due to Lupus. That is the reason we are no longer attending the meet up, I am heartbroken. 😔
Here in Kentucky to
You’re a good father. I’m doing the same, (I have been), canned food, emergency food, growing some food. Our house in CA is small and all concrete so I got some containers going small to large and will be building some raised bed.
Everyone should have a stock, cause anything could happen. You should be prepared.
For years I have shopped for the bulk of my groceries once a month. I hate shopping and have severe back problems and can't shop often. I have gotten looks for years. I have always canned food and will buy meat veggies, fruits . When I see a good sale I buy as much as I can afford. I just ignore the people that give me those looks because I know if something happens my family will have food to eat. I have went through hurricanes , tornadoes , layoffs from jobs all types of income interruptions and my family not once went without food or other basic needs. Keep on doing what you need to do to make sure your family has what it needs. Take care and God bless !
AGREED Dutch, Be Prepared Just In Case, But Don't Believe In This Main Stream Media Tells You,Because GOD TELLS US NOT TO FEAR!😁👍🏻
MUCH❤LOVE & 🙏🏻😇🙏🏻GOD BLESS😘
That is true
@Somers Farm Completely Agreed 🙏🏻😇🙏🏻👍🏻😁❤😘
2 years ago I had some health issues and I had to move in with my son and his wife when I had my own house and the kids were growing up I was always prepared food toilet paper ECT ...when I moved in my son and his wife were basically buying a few meals and such at a time I have practically begged him we need to stock up in case something goes crazy and my son has blown me off aww dad nothing is going to happen skip forward 2 years and she's been laid off and all this craziness is going on..sometimes father knows best..of course or unfortunately I've had to tell them I told you so
As a member of that generation, I apologize for her ignorance. I have ALWAYS lived with a full pantry, food on the hoof and chickens in the barnyard. TP aint no big deal, garden catalogs are plentiful at this time of year. It isn't something that is a NEW thing it is a way of life. The older I get the less my body tolerates chemicals. When I have grown it, canned or preserved it in another way, I know what is in it and how it was grown. Am I worried about this "new" virus, no more than any of the others that have popped up in the last century. I take precautions anyway. God Bless.
I believe you’re correct, and when everyone emerges after this pandemic most will start living differently. Having small gardens and having extra supplies just Incase. Just like those who grew up and survived the Great Depression.
Adding some good rope in an “x” formation from corner to corner over the top of the tarp works great for our greenhouse we got from Leon.
Poultry Paradise! You need a sign over the coop door. “Dutch’s Poultry Paradise”🤗
That's a great idea! Wind can have lots of fun with tarps.
and make some ditches under the drip line, or pile dirt/rocks up so the water from the roof doesnt flood into the pen. its more fun to do that when its raining, or was when I was a kid, watching the water flow was so cool!
Just a few days ago, Baton Rouge didn’t have any cases and now we have at least 14 as of last night so it’s here and I’m disabled and I sure hope there is food and other essentials left at the 1st of next month. I’m really concerned.🤔
calm down the north had most of the panic and they do restock the shelves after they stripped them in panic as a vet who has to go out every first to do my supply run too theres been very little issue
just make sure you wash your hands
the point is panic isnt good
I think that has to do with MardiGras and all the foreign tourists that were in town.
I've thought about this and we're lucky that it's happening in the Spring, the weather is improving and we can get out in the yard. Occupy our minds by working on the garden. I hope that people will be paying attention to what is happening around them. It's sad to say, but there will be people who will try to take advantage of others. Watch your back! GOD bless
First thing you prep is guns and ammunition.
@@mmercier0921 every day people around me are shooting off their ammo. They think they're sending a signal of strength. What I'm hearing is who has the "big" stuff, and who has the potential to lose that "big" stuff if they keep showing off!
I learned "prepping" from my dad, who is now in his 90's. He has a tractor trailer full of food, water, bedding, lanterns, kerosene, clothes, etc., etc. He tries to have enough on hand to last a year. I'm not "that" prepared, but I could easily last a couple months, mostly because I don't like going to town. I used to only go to town 6 times a year, now I live close to town (15 miles) and usually go to town twice a month. I have 5 gallon buckets full of rice and pinto beans. I drink a couple gallons of cranberry juice a month (because I like it) and rinse the plastic jugs out and fill them with water. So I have enough water for myself and my dog to drink for a couple months if the electricity goes out (so I can't get water out of the well.) And live 15 second walk from a river, so if push comes to shove I can filter and boil river water to drink, and can always catch fish and crawdad to eat. I'm not really a hard core prepper.. I just don't like going to town.
I went to Walmart, I noticed buggys tied together with a rope chain. Had to wait in line just to get in. I asked a clerk if this was still America? She said I don't know. Somethings not Right America.
I am a Couponer but not a hoarder so happy to say my family has enough and we are prepared. I also am the kind of person if someone was in need of something i would be able to help.
Same here! I will share what I have.
Good to see a father teaching his children how to be responsible, how to grow food and generally prepare for being an adult and they still have lots of fun on the way...
We had to cancel my daughters baby shower but they won’t give our money back. Sad
What a disgusting thing to do. They should be ashamed of themselves. So sorry for you and your daughter.
Most companies are calling to cancel on customers.. You should've waited for them to cancel on you... Either way I hope you paid with a Credit Card and file a dispute
@@a.ced.2052 Exactly; and I'm sure under their contract there is a list of things that would qualify a customer to get their money back- one of which being "unforeseen disasters" such as the coronavirus.
My kids thought this CV was a joke. I tried to tell them. Now grocery stores are running short on everything
Great to see young ones not afraid to touch worms and get their hands dirty.
Yes! I went to Walmart (California) for a few things, older couple in front of me bragging to clerk "I'm not scared of this CV." Then proceed to buy case of cigarettes. What?! I am truly baffled by people's lack of preparedness, knowledge, or will to live. The only thing I can surmise is, we have been living in too golden a time and it's warped people.
My adult children were over last weekend shopping at Momma's Mercantile......I didn't say one word about their years of teasing of me canning and stocking and rotating and gardening and .....🙂
I live in San Francisco bay area about 20 miles south of SF. I went shopping just for few items at 2 grocery stores. I was surprised at the large crowds and long lines. A lady in front of me in one store had a shopping cart that was filled to the brim and she kept going back into the store while I nudged her cart forward for her in line. When she was done, she apologized to me about how much she was buying and I told her no problem, she has the right to buy as much as she wants. She was also wearing gloves, so some people are scared. I am a scientist who worked in drug discovery on infectious disease research in both bacterial and viruses so I did some reading on Coronavirus from scientific literature. I also watch the growth rate of infection. I am not as concerned because even in China and South Korea they are starting to see a decline in infections. We are a large country with less dense population so people are better able to isolate themselves from others as well. Seeing people freak out did make me concerned that I should have some longer term food storage in case of a more severe disaster where food supply might become short. Stay safe and healthy!
Dutch. "Wise Wisdom" You're So Right! Old saying is; It's Better To Have! and Don't need it, than to Need! It and Don't Have! It. My Parents taught us that when we were kids. Today! We live by those Wise saying. You're a Wise! Smart! "Husband and Father."
The problem with stores today is, that they don't stock a water house like they used to in older times. Now people have to rely on the trucking industry to bring food. When they stop driving, worry.
Your right. My daughter told me I was crazy. Then when she seen the lines to get into Costco. Shelves bare bones. She was like holy cow. No canned stuff left in shelves last week.
Absolute truth. As a Veteran, I also have the be prepared as well as Implement-Overcome-Adapt. Denial and ignoring the signs are bad mojo. The image of unscrupulous folks turning violent to take what others have by force is NOT unrealistic.
Dont cancel the meet up. I cant see people living in fear. People go ahead an go to the meet up, have a good time. I have never stopped doing things in fear of whatever is going on around me. If something is going to happen, its going to happen no matter where you are. Enjoy life, stop panicking.
Amen
Those shells empty is because they move to clean shelves and nite crew refills shelf. Scare mongers.
Totally agree!!👍😊
Those with compromised health/pre-existing health issues should not be attending anything unnecessarily right now. What could be nothing to us, could be deadly to them. Just know your own health issues and conduct yourself accordingly.
People are more at risk in a doctor's office.
Watching you and your daughter together makes me so happy. How precious. You are teaching her far more than the task at hand ❤
your daughter is such a good helper. some of the stores here have a hard time getting a shipment of toilet paper
Well, I signed up for unlimited delivery from Walmart. I'll Be 80 next month. I will be cautious to being around people. I recommend that you postpone your meet and greet for 4 weeks. That will help you see how things go.
What is this unlimited Walmart about.
All of a sudden I cannot get out to do my shopping.
Thank you.
When you signup for delivery of Walmart products from your store to your home, you can choose unlimited deliveries per month for 12.95. Otherwise delivery is 7.95 for each one. Download the Walmart groceries app, it has all info.
i knew this was coming 3 months ago every extra penny spent buying food and some seeds
it still is not enough in my mind. it should ease up this suummer towards the end of summer then another month later come back with a vengence
that cat is worth its weight in gold
keep mice and rates down i started feeding a ferral cat just enough to keep it around
i bought a huge bag of feed for it cause i dont know how long this will last
i will get better prepared after this if we live thru it
I'm in Scotland it's the same here, big rush on toilet paper even though that's not part of CV and empty shelves everywhere. Better to be prepared than not. I feel for the people who can't afford to stock up just now 😢
It’s about to get REAL sad to say
All the schools just closed in MI. As someone who works for the district (for a private company) I'm now looking at a minimum of 4 weeks without a paycheck. I'm glad I was stocking up for summer break because now I have a months worth of food and dry goods. I just have to worry about summer because of not being able to make the expected paycheck and using up the pantry earlier than expected.
feel sorry for that 'old lady' that said that to you. She has no clue. Lots of 'old' people are much wiser than that, trust me. :)
Wisdom comes with living, but by the time you are wise, no one wants to listen. Hardships teach us valuable lessons in life, and that, I believe, is what they are for. Most older people (that would be me) are smarter than that, but many have also lead sheltered lives with no issues of hardship. They don't understand how to be ready, as they never had to be. It's not their fault, they just don't get it.
I live in a town of 36000 people, and the Walmart, Costco, and Kroeger's ALL have empty Shelves!
Several of my family members have had the same attitude that this Walmart lady had. They are changing their tune now.
The problem isn’t the preppers it’s mass last minute prepping and hoarding. It’s got so bad that normal people can’t even find diapers for there children. A real prepper prepares for the worst. Running to the store and buying everything you see at the last minute is not being a prepper. That’s just being a drain on society.
Food storage has gone on for years but I'm some what ashamed of those in my generation that Did not learn from the ww2 generation and those that lived through the great depression. Preparing has gotten me and my family through bad weather and hard winters.
If everyone had started a prepping closet/pantry a little at a time months ago our shelves today would not be bare from panicked hoarders.
I am prepared so long as the electric dont go out.
Get a couple of solar lights. The luci light type. They provide about 12hrs of light and only use free sun to recharge. In the camping or sporting goods section of most big box stores.
We are expecting a major snowstorm this weekend and that is definitely a possibility.
JudithB I am 72 and all I can say she must have been cityfolk! I was born and raised in the Air Force and Mom always kept the house stocked well where ever we were. 40 yrs ago I moved onto a farm in Arkansas and everyone stocked up all summer from the gardens and animals. I have been working on this prep project for 5-6 yrs now---floods, snow, layoffs and EMP potential-- have really driven me. This quarantine in place thing hasnt bothered me much, since its time on the homestead to do cleanups, repairs and start gardening chores. I am kind of worried about going to town next week on my monthly grocery run-- there is the people, possible lack of things in stores, etc. This has some challenges I guess, but we will come through this too! Stay safe out there!
You are so right. Fools come I all ages. Everything happens for a reason, some people may get an education real soon. Better safe than sorry.
You are doing the right thing. I went through a similar thing the other day, she wanted attention but I ignored her. It's better safe than sorry.
