- How to prepare for a total grid collapse. In South Africa we have seen gross deterioration of our grid and economy as a whole. Are we facing a total grid collapse? How does one prepare for a total grid collapse and what does a total grid collapse look like? In this video I share some insights on what the possible sequence of events looks like during a total grid collapse.

And thus you shall eat it: with a belt on your waist, your sandals on your feet, and your staff in your hand. So you shall eat it in haste. It is the Lord’s Passover. Exodus 12v11
In Jan of this year ( 2023 ) our power was out for 3 days .. All my neighbors left their homes and stayed in local hotels during the down time .. I am from Wyoming and have a lot of survival training .. I kept my home warm w/ my fireplace and used a Jackery 1000 to keep my fridge cold by cycling it every two hours .. Being raised on a ranch in the 60’s I was used to doing my homework my kerosene lantern made me very comfortable w/ this grid down period .. I also have food storage and have a backup duel fuel generator .. Being here in Oregon my solar generator was barely able to keep up due to the grey days so I powered up my generator on the last day to charge it back up .. I had the blessing of my 2 yr old Doberman for security and company .. I am retired law enforcement SWAT so security was no issue .. In the end when I spoke w/ my neighbors I asked them what would they have done if the outage was for weeks or more .. They responded that something like that will not likely happen so they were not concerned .. Society is prime for a total grid down and things will get seriously ugly .. Great video and info ..
It is good to see that prepping is growing and working well for the people of South Africa. America wishes you well.
Ma'am thank you for this. You explained this better than any other prep channel I have watched. And I watch them all. You were very clear and to the point. You didn't try to sell me crap I didn't want. Just stated pure facts and reality.
Thank you!
Keep in mind that food refrigeration doesn't need to be plugged in to a gas generator or solar generator at all times. Run the fridge or freezer for an hour and unplug it for 4 hours. No point in wasting energy when the fridge doesn't need it.
@@kevinroberts781 Absolutely! Thanks for sharing that here. C
Hi from the Uk. Our small group takes radio comms very seriously. Using PMR (FRS), CB and Ham radio for all our radio communications needs. Take good care.
That's great and thanks for the info! Keep it up, C
Outstanding video. Great information. Just Subscribed. My wife is South African from Pretoria. I meet her at the American Embassy in Pretoria when I was stationed there in 2002 (I was a Marine stationed there as a Marine Security Guard).
Hi there! Thanks for the sub and for watching. All the best with your journey in preparedness. C
Ive been off grid on solar and batteries for four years. I added a wind generator last year. I added four 24 volts 100 amp hours lithium batteties six months ago. Ive been collecting food for three years. I built a wood stove out of an old sandblasting tank. I keep 440 gallons of water and 55 gallons of gasoline.
What is Facebook? 🤷🏻♂️
👍 Very good video with some excellent real world advice from someone who deals with electric grid outages with some regularity. Thank you for sharing!
P.S. I really do know what Facebook is. 😂😂😂
😂 I'm sure you have facetube too. Lately there seems to be a new social media platform every day, I can't keep up honestly. They do make for good community feedback though. Thanks for watching. C
@@LiveReady I became one of your Subscribers not long ago. I like your content very much. I am sorting through the UA-cam channels I subscribe to so I can reduce the list, but your channel is a Keeper.
Very well thought out Clarice ,as usual you have nailed it. Praise be to the one and only God that Jesus prayed to.
Amen and thanks for the comment. I hear the world is on fire, shows you how caught up we get in trying to manage our own situation when there is really chaos everywhere. I hope you're safe. C
@@LiveReady yes we’re good here in Perth but I was in Sydney during the big bushfires which burnt from Queensland right down to South Australia and that was not normal. I truly believe these were deliberately made and were super hot. In Sydney we had burnt leaves falling from the sky from fires 100 km away. We are surely in the end times.
@@bladeuser101 Fire is absolutely devastating and it takes years to work through the damage and trauma of having to evacuate and lose a home. Thanks for sharing your story. C
Excellent video. I would only add 2 things to your fantastically complete list. #1 - A fire starter - recommend a striker type where you're basically rubbing 2 metals together to get a spark (it's waterproof) whereafter you can ignite lint, dried brush - steel wool in bags is a terrific kindling, and you can ignite it with a small AA sized battery. #2 - A small but powerful personal crossbow and at least 20 small arrows. In a worst case scenario, if you need to hit the road, you will eventully need to procure your own food. The crossbow is silent (very important), highly reusable and small enough to conceal. If need to, it will bring down whatever game you are likely going to want to eat. It will also address preditor problems. This is one of the best videos I've seen in a long time. Thank you!
Great vid as always and I can vouch for the Dometic. Was trapped on an island during ALL of covid and ran my Dometic off a solar panel and battery for 3 years straight!!
Those little red Honda and similar generators are also super hardy and handy. Just clean the carb every so often and they run well. I travel with one on every outreach mission and tour.
May people find value in these instructional videos, we all know chaos is coming.
God bless
Hi Nelis, your story sounds like Tom Hanks may have gotten a fridge and a panel in one of the parcels in Cast Away. Sounds like my kind of trip too! Thanks for sharing it's so interesting to hear what other people have been through. Hope to see you at an outreach soon. C
@@LiveReady Will tell you all about it !
Our hospital lost power and battery emergency lights went on but ALL of the computers were down and the staff and Dr. couldn't access anyone's medical records. This is a huge problem for everyone's health and safety.
Consider a Kelly kettle for boiling water, can use so many types of fuel from small twigs, to coal.
great video. do you have another channel? your quality is amazing for a small account.
Outstanding stuff LR. Everything you mentioned we have covered in our Prepper group and we live in the UK where we do not have the same problems YET. Many thanks for that very informative video
Hey Larry, glad that you've found some valuable info here. I hear a lot has changed abroad and the grass looks greener but you have your own challenges. All the best with your journey in preparedness and thanks for dropping a comment here, C.
Many thanks LR and keep your powder dry. You are in our prayers@@LiveReady
Fantastic Vídeo,C Jones.
Lord bless you.Keep prayer for you and Live Ready.
Many thanks, Felipe
Thanks Felipe! C
Always keep Lemons close by, good natural disinfectant,. We truly are in a run down state and not getting better soon. Thanks for the video I looked into the portable stove option a while back via Amazon too but could not justify it LOL. Also im building up my hand powered tools, just in case.
Hand powered tools sound like a good idea🤔 Perhaps we have also found a gap in the SA market for a portable wood stove. C
I need the stove myself here in Illinois. Are pritzel mayor is sucking us dry. Gonna cut gas in homes off soon.
I just found your video! Thank you for sharing the importance of preparedness and I appreciate the content. Stay safe!
Great video and lots of information that will help the under prepared.
Yeah, I'd be looking to move from South Africa as soon as possible. The government and the populus are doomed there.
Well thought out and informative. 🙂
Thanks! All the best with your prepping. C
Very well said and explained Clarise.
Hey Danie, thanks! I'm sure you don't need me telling you how it goes, but we can use our experiences to help others. C
Wake up one morning , NO INTERNET , NO PHONE , NO POWER , NO WATER , NO GAS AT STATION, Welcom to Grid Collapse ....
Praise the Lord Jesus Christ
Amen! C
Amen!
Agreed
lol LOL
delusional
Makes total sense for the average person
Thanks for dropping a comment. C
I started taking cold showers. The process is miserable but addicting. It makes me feel pretty good. Wouldn't recommend doing it in the winter time though. I did it before and you just stay cold for hours. You never really warm up ...🥶
No you don't really warm up after being exposed to cold water. It's not all bad to condition yourself to deal with the worst though, but I made another plan. I got a big Front Runner BBQ grid that I store on my spare wheel and an almost equally big kettle to boil water that I run through a 12v shower pump. I have hot showers in the bush even in the middle of the night at -4°C, and I feel warmer after. C
I live in Puerto Rico 🇵🇷, the grid being down is a every day thing, I designed and put together my own infrastructure, every structure i build has to have its own power and water infrastructure, this includes my chicken coop.
Very interesting. I know how every home system can suffer if it's dependent on electricity. Thanks for sharing. C
@LiveReady I have above decent primitive skills as well...just incase
@@MosaicHomestead that's good forward thinking. I'm really impressed. I think the real challenge comes in when you have to take care of others who were less prepared and prepare on their behalf. All the best with your journey and thanks for the suggestions!
lots of good info thanks
Beginning at 14:30 she gives the best advice of all. "Head on a stick" - riots, looting. Presence of mind is good but absence of body is much, much better. Recognize the window of opportunity to get out, and GET OUT. Have a destination in mind. Take just what you need and leave the rest bennd - what you leave behind all just "stuff" and can be replaced.
Brilliant. Subscribed.
Awesome thanks for the sub👍😎
When the collapse happens we know there will be chaos everywhere.
This is true! C
It depends on the situation and where you are located, during the aftermath of Maria, there were isolated incidents, but there was no chaos because people were helping with the cleanup and helping each other. Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 has always had grid problems, so it's sad to say people are used to being without power and water, the other day we were 14 hours without power, that here is a cake walk.
Good vid.
Awesome, thanks for dropping a comment. C
Generally we have 3 days before everything falls apart.
Clairice, if you don't mind me asking, what do you think about the uprisings in Africa in regards to the abandoning of western powers and several countries embracing BRICS?
Hi Matt, it's interesting to watch that's for sure. I don't get into politics other than to compare events to what the Bible says will happen. We know that according to Revelation 17v12 ten kings will give their power unto the beast and that there will be ten kingdoms/regions set up during the last days. Everything that happens in the world plays into this. When exactly scripture will be fulfilled, we don't know, so I just watch and stay alert.C
“The ten horns which you saw are ten kings who have received no kingdom as yet, but they receive authority for one hour as kings with the beast. These are of one mind, and they will give their power and authority to the beast. These will make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, for He is Lord of Lords and King of kings; and those who are with Him are called, chosen, and faithful.”
Revelation 17:12-14 NKJV
bible.com/bible/114/rev.17.12-14.NKJV
Water; look at the supplies for home swimming pools. A well maintained pool is drinking water standard, you can use unprepared water that has been treated with pool chlorinator and allowed to rest to near zero chlorine. pool sanitiser is helpful and pool water test kits can keep water in the less than two parts per million of free chlorine that's drinkable. Remember that a pool is a big volume so use really tiny amounts in a water carrier.
I'd only give food to my family and that is it. Say you give food to even just one person, that one person could become a problem where for example they finished the food you gave them then possibly a bad situation could come next. That one person you gave food to could come back wanting more, or that one person could come back with more people, say just 2 more people come back, now you have 3 people at your house needing what you have.
Desperate people do horrible things and many different situations. It sucks morally but that's how I view that situation. People here in the states have the opportunity to have extra food and they choose to spend money on other useless stuff so when the time comes I myself will not be handing out anything cause all it takes is one person and I have children of my own to think about so I'm not going to even take a chance period.
Guess it's a matter of opinion but you are a more generous person than me C.
Hey Garrett! This sounds like the problem the disciples had with the fishes and the loaves. Jesus multiplied it to ensure more than enough for everyone. We have to trust Him to come through for us because at some point every single person is going to be in need of something, whether that be medical supplies or food or other. What you say makes perfect sense though and that is the nature of a desperate person. In SA we have many desperate people. Your own family does have to come first like you said, and I know that you will be 100% capable of dealing with the situation at the time. C
Thank you
You're welcome. C
I was looking for how to survive without the mobile stuff to live off grid
Hey @kimberley1235 it sounds like you're looking for primitive survival skills. You can check out this playlist if that's the case. C ua-cam.com/play/PLQZCJ1xwObWWJlh45b99FIcWJ1KWS9ip8.html&si=H8q3cAbZWCI1rF4o
Thats what Im doing. I have 1600 watts of solar, 600 watts wind generator, twenty batteries.
My hot water heater was out for a montb and I was miserable!
Make fire 😁 I have gotten very good at showering with a 12v shower or even one of those solar shower bags. Even a warm bucket wash is worth it. You just need to heat the water on gas or on a fire first.
When I can, I stock up on batteries. There's not always an opportunity to recharge anything, so makes sure you have batteries. Gas and foods, are secondary for me. Solar is not an option, unless you have money. And the know how, to operate it. But wind and hydro power, must be checked out too.
En terwyl ek kyk, gaan die ligte af ! Beurtkrag ! Maar ek is moeg vir die lewe in die stad en wil gereed maak om 'n bosbewoner te word, wat van die aarde af leef. Verkieslik in 'n goeie klimaat. Ek is nie lus om te sukkel soos daardie spul in Alaska nie. 🙄 Voorlopig is my 2.4 kVa wisselrigter (inverter) genoeg vir 8 ure sonder krag, en alhoewel ek nog nooit meer as dit ervaar het nie, dink ek al hoe meer aan senarios waar dit nie genoeg sal wees nie. Gevolglik "binge-watch" ek nou al jou videos ! ☝😬🙏
Hi daar! Dankie vir al die views ek waardeer dit. Ek dink jy is wys om an al die moontlike scenarios te dink. Hoe beter ons voorberei hoe beter sal ons cope met enige uitkoms. C
Bring it!
I loved the scripture amen hallelujah
hated it ....sorry not sorry ...if we are talking about total societal collapse I am absolutely dropping the fairy tales from the bronze age and focusing at the tasks at hand and a new better way

Food refrigeration?????????? Is important.
Clarice...i cannot decide whether you're God's messenger protected by his angels or you're an actual angel in person
....
Either way , our lord jesus christ is at work here ..x❤
Thanks David! I'm just stepping through the open doors and trusting His timing at the moment. Have a blessed week. C
Awesome content! If you're looking to explore these topics even further, we actually produced an award-winning documentary called Grid Down Power Up - Documentary, narrated by Dennis Quaid, that dives deep into these issues. It’s available for free on our channel, and you might find it really insightful. We also have some resources on our website for taking action, like contacting legislators and public utilities. Please help us spread the word
The verse in Matthew you quoted, is not referring to actual food, drink, and clothes, otherwise one would need to seek and enter the kingdom within 4 days, as one cannot go more than 4 days without water. The true meaning of this is not what you think, and many Christians have no idea of what it means to seek the kingdom, and the hard truth is, if they knew, they probably wouldn't want to.
I love this woman. Just wish she kept God out of it in the beginning. But other than that I learned so much about what's going on in S.A. thank you. Have a good day.
You're welcome. C
I don't know how it is over there, but in America the group pushing the whole "follow God and follow Jesus" is the authoritarian party, so it's interesting seeing her praise God and also reject authoritarianism.
I believe in free speech, and since it is her channel and not yours she can quote the bible 6 million times if she wants. If you have anything useful to put out in the universe, you can always make your own channel and give advice without quoting God. But apparently you don't have anything useful, so here you are criticizing one person who does. Typical.
@@thebarbiewithmuscle sure thing
@@thebarbiewithmuscle I guess you only read the first sentence before your inner Karen was let out. I complimented the crap out of her video regardless of the god talk. And so you know I was speaking freely also, as you did to me. 👍 😎
I used to love die Antwoord until they sold out...
You lost me at Mathew 6:33.
It’s clear, the people of Gaza haven’t watched your videos. If they had, we would be seeing green tents popping up everywhere that their homes were turned to rubble by Israeli bombings. The one thing you advised one should do, is call upon “god” for help, but in their case he (she/it) hasn’t appeared to be listening. Same for the Israelis. Who’s prayers will be answered ? Who’s god will prevail ? (Or is there only one ?) Here in SA we should petition government to get their act together and allow us to link up to Elon Musk’s “starlink” satellite system for extra terrestrial means of communication, saving us from “cellphone-tower” dependency. Satellite phones are still very expensive though, but I believe one can get satellite antennas (similar to dishes) for this purpose. 😇
Hi there! Thanks for dropping a comment. I definitely agree with the starlink idea👍 Sat phones are expensive, but at the same time a dish can't replace a more mobile sat phone. I've been pondering this for a while as I think it's a good item to have in case of emergency. C
Sadly the people of Gaza have been oppressed and living in poverty for so long that they didn’t have the means to prepare like this. We are lucky to live in countries where preparing this way is feasible
@@Michii308 It was meant in jest... 🙄😉
