There’s one massive blind spot I keep seeing in every video and conversation on this subject: Complete industrial infrastructural collapse. If the economy implodes and little to nothing is done to prevent meltdowns of oil, nuclear, chemical, and other facilities we’re gonna have a much bigger problem. Imagine every nuclear facility going Chernobyl on steroids until all the fuel and waste is exhausted. Imagine every oil platform going Deepwater Horizon until, those too, are spent and exhausted. Every chemical plant? Same. Every paint manufacturing facility? Every pesticide manufacturing facility? See where this is going? The domino effects that follow will scorch the Earth. There won’t be anywhere to hide. Even the rich people who go underground will never be able to return to the Earth’s surface. It won’t be habitable for millennia. At this point the only way humans survive is to get their shit together and learn to better manage what we’ve created while also busting our asses to develop sustainable energy technologies. Until we get to a place where fossil fuels and other similarly hyper-toxic resources are phased out this will be our biggest threat in a collapsed economy and civilization.
Here’s one that may seem kinda dumb, but I’ve been thinking of quite a bit: How do I align myself with reasonable like minded folks in my area? Not a true “prepper” but have started all of this already.
@@andrewparise7471 Dood, prepping is pointless. If the entire global economy tanks everyone dies. Without anyone monitoring and managing the massive, sprawling network of chemical plants, oil and fossil fuel infrastructure, nuclear facilities, and much more it all starts to implode, triggering a domino effect of cataclysmic events that will scorch the Earth and take many thousands of years for the planet to recover from and make habitable again. There won’t be anywhere to hide long enough to wait this out. Even the richies who go underground to their bunker palaces will never be able to return to the surface. Neither will any of the progeny they bring into the world.
I think the #1 thing I learned while living in a mud hut in the Himalayan mountains for 8 months with NO heat, electricity, running water, plumbing, toilet paper, and other modern convinces, is that you CAN adapt to anything. All the preps in the world will not help you if you are not mentally flexible and strong. Yes, you need the preps, the knowledge, and the community, but metal fortitude is the lynchpin. YMMV.
I can't believe NO ONE has responded to your post as you are absolutely correct. The TV show "Alone" really stressed that aspect. They also had to deal with being alone, which many endured during the lockdowns, so mental and spiritual strength are really vital as part of being physically prepared.
@@jaydavidson4592 Not sure what people want to know. Wish I could share pictures on here. I was in Nepal for the fall of '95 until the fall of '96. Most of that time out in a small village in the far N.E. of the country. Like I said, living conditions were .... primitive.
@Brother Paul dude I have absolutely no clue what you are talking about. I have zero intentions of going up against any vets, as I am friends with lots of them. Controlled environment? You mean like how our first task when getting out to the villages was to map out an LZ in case we needed to be emergency extracted? I seriously have no idea what you are talking about...but maybe you don't either.
One caution that I suggest, for a long term collapse. When water and food trucks show up to give out the meager government supplies to keep people from starving; ALWAYS be standing in the lines just like those who did not store provisions ahead of the collapse. And make sure to wear ragged clothing. And don’t be too clean. Rub some grunge on yourself before heading out to the food truck lines. If your neighbors notice you are never standing in the water lines and food lines; they will likely conclude that you have hidden supplies!
@@brentgilbert4208, if you can walk, then walking is one of the best overall exercises you can do. This can also enable you to do other exercises later. Another very important thing to do is to join a group, since there is strength in numbers. Best of luck.
I’m 68 and retired, I tell my kids when they make fun of my prepping. If I’m wrong I will eat my mistakes, if I’m right what will you eat. They said you’re food of course you’re our parent.😂👍🇬🇧
@@andrewmartin1616 What about everybody "Be Safe Out There"? Wow such original touchy feely good advice which will get you killed the first night. ***BE AGGRESSIVE NON-STOP and be PREPARED or PREPPED to Fire and Maneuver continuously with no food, dirty nasty water and ZERO SLEEP.
In a total economic collapse, the biggest threat will come from our neighbors who never bothered to prepare at all. They're going to be worthless in terms of what they might have to offer, but they will still do whatever they have to do to survive, including engage in violence against you and your family.
They won't be entirely worthless. Just decide whether you're in the mood for white meat or dark for the evening meal. You might also have the option of choosing between Mexican or Chinese! I wouldn't recommend the Chinese however. An hour later, you're probably going to be hungry again.
Back in the 1980s, I was a witness to a total economic collapse in Michigan when the auto makers closed factories. Thousands were without a job. We did see homes get broken into, yet, most moved to Texas where the jobs were.
The UD State Dept started the war in Ukraine. There was a negotiated treaty where an overwhelmingly number of people in a couple small areas voted to join Russia. Zolunski ran as a peace candidate saying if elected hef6 sign the treaty so he received meat 90 percent of the vote But immediately the US State Dept told Zolunski that of he signed the treaty he'd be assassinated So the Russians came in to free the provinces that voted to join Russia and the war begs. Biden said most of the money will come back to us @@ymReal
@@mt1885 the best we can do is to be of God, whether the SHTF or not. Where I disagree with the hard peppers is that if someone shows up on your door hungry, feed them. Just the way I was raised. It may get me killed but that's the way it is with me. Now, if someone shows up just trying to take? They will get shot.
Hygiene and oral care. See the dentist as one of your preps. The convenience of going to the dentist will be greatly impacted in a collapse. Tooth and gum health greatly impacts your physical health.
I am starting the process of getting teeth filled and fixed next week something inside me told me to take care of this now because I may not be able to in the not so distant future
Seems overlooked by most of the youtube prepper community. While everyone is stocking up tourniquets, Israeli bandages and ammo. A few extra toothbrushes are probably overlooked, same goes for soap
I saw a video of a bleeding woman and the hospital would not see her because she's unvaxxed. I don't know where it was located but already we see the unvaxxed being treated like second-hand citizens. It could become worse over time. Take care of meducal/dental needs now.
I'm not a Doomsday advocate, but as someone who has been through multiple natural disasters, it is insanity to not have AT LEAST two weeks or more of food in your residence. All you have to do is buy ahead on the foods you already eat. This way the money is not wasted no matter what happens. Also, I am also amazed at how people completely underestimate the calories you will need. In a crisis you need MORE calories than you do normally.
Not only do you need to be stocking up on food, you need to be hiding it in different locations throughout your home and property, including your attic, basement, and holes in the ground. If you put it all in one place where an intruder can find it, they can take it all at once. Make sure you have only a "normal" amount of food in your kitchen and put the rest elsewhere in obscure and hard to reach places.
@@karome1297 Put food in shoeboxes, on the top shelf of your bedroom closet behind some folded clothes, under the bathroom sink, top shelf of the linen closet behind your sheets/towels, etc. You can also keep some dried foods, like beans and rice, in the trunk of your car. Just be creative.
@@Heartwing37 A simple one a day multivitamin is what you need. Be careful not to overload your system with vitamins, though, because they can give you kidney stones or cause other health problems. One a day means one a day. They're insignificant in caloric content, so they're not going to substitute for food - just help you to remain healthy despite not having a balanced diet.
One cheap way for self first aid is a 500 mg C (cut 1000 mg in half, if cheaper). This is the most a body can absorb at one time, but you can take one every hour if you're trying to knock out something serious. Stock up now.
Every week I buy less with the same money. This is when you know that things are not right. The dollar is worth less and less. We rely so much on others countries to make our lives possible even when we do not want to accept it. As imports stop coming as it happened in 2020, with the constant droughts we are having, and the shortages in water already in some places, it is best to accept that you need to be mentally and physically prepared for the inevitable. I laughed at those in the Y2K that were prepping. I thought that it was ridiculous. After 2008, 2020 and the collapse of the grid in Texas during the coldest days, I learned that when the collapse comes, and it comes very fast. I find myself now preparing for the next catastrophe.
I thought it'd be great to buy a boat house live on the water, a sort of Lake. Probably not that realistic, I don't know you might get pirates after you then what there's nowhere to run

I thought the prepper community was a community of like minded people wanting to help others be prepared for the unforeseen. It’s obvious some people are just to intelligent to help their communities. Cyber bullies are the biggest losers I’ve ever seen. Cowards behind the keyboard. What science would you like me to follow? In the 1970’s they told us we would be in an ice age by the 1990’s due to severe droughts out west. In the 1980’s arresol cans were causing a hole in the ozone. In the 1990’s we were told the ice caps were melting and Florida would be under water due to the excessive water. In the 2000 the environmentalist filed lawsuit closing almost all commercial logging in the mountain west. After 10 years the debris built up and now, 21 years later, we see the largest forest fires in history, yet science blames it on climate change, What science would you like me to follow? Oh genius one.
@@RKNADLE1 Just think about it. Everything people "thought of" is always wrong. EX. YOu thought Noah's ark actually existed. WRONG. Yep, many are COWARDS and just cannot face real science and real economies. Prep for a doomsday, you say? It's 2021. Wake up oh, "Genius One." Real science works. You should study it one day and not settle for a third-rate "buybull education."
Don't forget clothing. Hard to walk 20 miles w\o shoes. In cooler climates, a good set of clothes will reduce the amount of food and fire you require. A good set of rain clothes will keep you dry and warm. Consider clothes your first layer of shelter.
I took this into account. I started doing “EXTRA” last May 2020. I made sure I added camping stoves, emergency food kits (2). Then cans upon cans, beans, 80 pounds plus of rice, 20 pounds beans, 75 lbs of dog food, fuel, generator. I have built 4 months so far. Now to think of 2-3 more survival kits. That’s $400 to $1200 to spend over the next 4-6 months
That's right, and like me, you're never gonna use that food. Let alone be able to use it before it goes bad. Trust me, it's not gonna happen, that apocalypse/economic collapse. It's all in the movies. All you gotta worry about is the neighbors.
@@jesserhernandez4182Things that are happening right now were predicted in the Bible. Read Revelation. There will be an economic collapse before the new world government comes into play. And yes you’re right we have no idea when this will happen, but for the first time in history we finally have the technology that is needed to fulfill the prophesies in the Bible. Proverbs 22:3.
Lol I remember reading very similar comments over a year ago when lockdowns first started happening and such. I love these channels, but the fear mongering and everyone trying to call when “ it’s here” it’s just so old after this point I’ve seen it for the last fucking year
My grandparents were young adults when the great depression hit in 1929. It lasted until 1940. They had almost no money, but PLENTY of food since they lived on a farm in Nebraska. They had chickens, cows, geese, goats, pigs, rabbits, etc., 160 acres to grow corn to feed the animals as well as had a garden to tend for vegetables to eat all year long by canning for the winter. There were 12 children, and nobody ever went hungry, even if cash money was rarely seen for years. My grandma lost all the money she had when her bank closed for good without warning. It was only $25, but that was a lot back then.
My parents also went through the great depression as children. My dad won't talk much about it but to this day, he HATES oatmeal and raisins. He says that for months, that's what they ate for breakfast, lunch and dinner. They were a very poor family. I would have liked him to speak further of the depression before he passed. But he would not.
My grandfather was rich, then WW2 happened, and suddenly he wasnt and almost starved to death.He survived though against all odds, while 10% of the population died from starvation.
I also grew up with my grandparents these kids man it's really scary to see how clueless they are because those idiots will be deadly levels of desperate during any time of hardship even Great depression level never mind an actual apocalypse
Quick tip. Have a stockpile of clothing larger than you wear. As others are rapidly losing weight but you have food..wear the larger clothing to the illusion of weight loss
This is 100% True. I was Homeless and lived in the woods for 1 year. I suffered starvation, and it is the WORST form of suffering a human can experience. It was BRUTAL!. I am 6 foot tall and got down to 97 lbs. Bailing twine held my pants up.
Throw ten bucks a week on canned goods and other non perishables at Walmart or dollar tree once a week is always my advice! Don’t gotta break the bank it adds up fast doing that
So I did my payday prepping yesterday...with lots of meats, pasta and noodles!!! The cashier an older guy asked me if I was running a restaurant...lol. I said "yeah, for my family"!!!😉😉
Whenever anyone questions me about the amount I am buying. I suddenly developed selective hearing and smile but stay silent. Never answer them. It's not coming from their wallet. So I dont need to reply.
It's not just food, its everything. Clothing, shoes socks underwear. I know that sounds silly to think about but look at some of the sections of these items in local stores. I used to stock at Walmart. I know how much stuff like socks and underwear was in the back cause there was no room. Now these sections are staying empty with no new sets coming in. My boss was trying to get a good pair of hiking boots and finally found what he wanted for around 299.00 He got an email today saying they couldn't fill his order and refunded him. He went to another site and the exact same boots are now 386.00....
I reckon I have a lifetime's worth of clothes. Okay, not underwear. Everything else is sorted though. For boots check eBay. I got a pair of £150 boots on eBay for £16. Looks like they were worn only once. And that's my backup pair. Main pair was £21 delivered.
There is a discount/salvage store Mardin's in Bangor. I have bought thick winter socks there. Personal items are very inexpensive. You need to get it when you see it because they may not be able to stock some thing again. I have a storage box full of winter socks, thermals etc. Get prepared with even the little items used on a daily basis.
It will be a slow collapse, people will deny it until the end. It is best to be out of the cities and into a rural area, it might not be perfect but it will be a lot better than the nasty old cities. I am in the country now, if I can do it so can you. Best get with it folks time is short.
Lessoned learned. My wife and I keep a well stocked pantry and are prepping supplies are divided into near term, short term, and long term. February 2020 store shelfs went scarce and meat disappeared. We were ready with several pounds of meat in the freezer. As time drug on meat was non existent in our area. I think we are average and have meat 3 maybe 4 nights a week. We were able to share with a neighbor and still had more, but what if this goes on? We decided to go vegetarian or meat only 1 or 2 nights a week. Over the next few weeks we converted and started using near term preps. Before we realized it we had cut meat out of our diets. As spring came we enlarged the garden and downloaded over 100 vegetarian meal ideas. One year later we eat maybe on meat meal a week, we have both lost some weight and enjoy cooking vegetarian meals. The moral to this story is, it may not be to late to modify you diet.
This is so insightful. Meat and fat are for times of plenty. Plant based foods are staples and can be relied on for long term sustenance so long as there is a vitamin B12 supplement. Some plant based foods are cheaper and easier to stockpile and store long term.
Understandable. My 90 year old mom was born in 31 and lived through the Great Depression. I sometimes chuckle when she wants to save used foil or wash plastic bags, but, we may appreciate this behavior in the near future.
I currently participate in farmers' market. The people there are great resources that can use your resources as well. I currently sell cookies, books that I wrote, and what little produce I have left over from canning there. This helps me rotate my preps as well. I am learning all the time about my climate and what grows well here. The more I learn about my community (human and otherwise), the better for me and those around me!
@@nolagospeltracts8264 People who sell at farmers' markets are not government-subsidized. Your taxes pay corporate farmers so you don't see what the food really costs you when you purchase at the store even then most family farmers can't make ends meet!

My Mothers family lost their home during the Great Depression in New Zealand when a terrible earthquake destroyed the town they lived in caused them to be evacuated to a tiny farming hamlet with no furniture at all . They had to start again in a rented house and Grandma had to grow vegetables and actually made clothes by getting the kids -8 in number to forage for wool that was on the fences from sheep which tend to leave wool all over the fences and gates during growing seasons. . She carded and spun -then knitted them items to wear as well as made them clothes from muslin sugar bags,. The community pulled together and lent each other items .I think from what she said it was common sense way of life back then .The wartime habits added to this and continued into the 1950s which is when I was a kid ..and I still run my house somewhat like that now with a vegetable garden and trying to cut down on all the packaging which is a curse.
I'm glad you brought up foraging and wild edibles. Dandelion, clover, mustard, and so many other wild greens will be truly essential for survival. Not many will think about these wild edibles. And some will think anything green is safe. You should do a video on specific greens as well. Thanks!
My mother and her siblings used to eat Hawthorn flowers and leaves in the spring. They used to call it bread and cheese. This was during WW2 in the UK.
I let my backyard go because I wanted to see what grew naturally. I took pix of 5 “weeds” And wow 😮 they’re edible (human or livestock) and/or medicinal. There were some weeds that are great for pollinators, which would help your garden. I’m now growing specific weeds in their own patches - no upkeep required, yay.
Books! Books would be important. First books that teach important life skills, such as what plants are safe to eat or how to work with primitive tools. Not only those, but also books for entertainment. Escapism would still be an important factor in helping emotional health and good stories can also teach. I also think music would be important as well, especially when in a community.
I ordered a few hundred more pounds of beans and rice along with other supplies last week and 5 gallon buckets, lids and mylar bags got dropped off today. I don't think any of us will truly ever be ready but it cant hurt to at least try. Also I'm a realist and understand that I can only do so much and keep chapstick in case I gotta kiss my butt goodbye. Nobody is invincible and we all need to stay humble and know our limitations.
Having pioneer tools like machetes,silky saws,axe,hammer,shovels, heat reflective tarps, and warm clothes and at least fleece liners with SOL bivy bags in the bugout vehicle is a must. Living in Ontario Canada where it gets cold in the fall and winter,having a means of building a shelter is a top priority.
Having non power tools to prepare invade the electric grid goes down is important. Also fuel may be in short supply in the future so hand tools will be very useful. Yes they still make hand drills.
I lived in Alberta years ago. As a teen and older, even now, it was advisable to have a winter survival kit in all vehicles. The open prairie can produce wind chill factors of -40. Blankets, an arctic sleeping bag, some large candles and some food. There are some areas of 10 to 20 miles or more between small towns. If you get trapped in blizzard white out conditions and get stopped you WILL freeze to death if not prepared. You can run the vehicle for short amounts of time but need to be aware of the possibiliy of CO fumes entering the vehicle... Thank goodness we now have cell phones and can call for help.

Excellent info and it can seem a bit overwhelming when you realize just how much we need to think about. Most importantly, is to trust in the Lord God for wisdom, direction, and protection. One of the best preps that is not physical, is hiding the word of God in your heart and being spiritually prepared for what is ahead because the period of tribulation is upon us and it is crucial to do the physical and spiritual preparation.

I had to rely heavily on Marcus Aurelius and Seneca and Ryan Holiday’s channel to get through a 10 day blackout and 6 days without running water. I had stockpiled plenty of water and carb/protein heavy non perishable food. I had failed to adequately emotionally prepare myself. Stoicism gave me the intellectual tools to endure, and even thrive. I learned how to embrace the difficulty of losing access to the modern conveniences and interconnectedness we’ve grown accustomed to. I told myself I was ready because I had materially prepared, but I was not spiritually ready. It was a hard lesson to learn. But I am so glad I learned it, and grew from it. As the ancients would say… *Amor Fati* EDIT: Also, I want to point out that I was starving for vegetables by the end. Buy dehydrated fruit and veggie buckets. I could tell my diet was not high enough in certain vitamins.
@Surviving and Thriving Yep. My area got hit hard. We were flushing toilets with buckets of water from a bathtub waterbob I filled up at the start of the storm by the last few days. I cannot describe the joy of the first night waking up with the heating on and the phones charged fully and the internet waiting for the morning. But I am already preparing for this Winter, and others are starting to as well. Delta Variant will have killed 400,000 Americans on its own by mid October by CDC estimates.

If ur a coffee drinker, buy ur coffee now. I bought a 5lb bag of green coffee beans that I can roast myself, 5days ago. And I just checked the price and it went up $11 in the past5 days. It will probably go up even more. There is a huge drought where alot of the beans r grown and along with inflation and everything else right now, coffee is going up. The coffee I bought was 33.99, now it is 44.99. Crazy. Also green coffee beans can last for years if packaged right. Once the bean is roasted, it starts to go bad and will last only 6months or so. Even when packaged right it will go bad once roasted. So store green beans and roast urself. Really easy to do just watch a yt video. Also I find the coffee tastes even better and is less acidic.

One of the things I have done is make a thumb drive filled with over a hundred PDF books, I also have a cheap windows 10 2-in-1 laptop/tablet with a foldable keyboard that I can recharge with a solar power cell, now I have all those books literally in my pocket. In a collapse these books will be essential and valuable. I am working on buying a piece of property away from big cities, will have it before the end of the year and it will be paid for in cash. I will use a tent if I have too. Great video.
Check out the bushcraft channels. Several show how to build small cabins. TA in the Woods made a nice one with a tower for hunting. Coalcracker Bushcraft made a yurt. Greg Ovens recently made the pole frame for a huge teepee (tipi). They all teach bush skills that will keep you safe & productive once you get your land. Learn now to be ready.
I've been prepping since the 80's and consider myself fairly well prepared, but know there will be items I'll wish I had that I don't. Something seldom mentioned is redundancy. Technology fails, equipment breaks, etc. and you need to get good at jerry rigging things. Also having various sources for items as you use them up. For example, I have a 2,000 gallon cistern for drinking water, 1200 gallons of storage tanks collecting rainwater off roofs, a well near the house and a creek within 150 yards of my house. Redundancy. I have 7 mules for transportation along with wagons and all the horse drawn equipment needed to farm with. Saddles and pack saddles when wagons break down or I need to travel off road and so on. Chickens are a big plus and a major source of renewable food, but you need grain for them so I have about 500 bushels of oats in a grain bin and 200 of wheat in another. I've got camping gear, tee pee's and tents with stoves for shelter if I have to relocate, and on and on. I lived for 2.5 years in the Salmon River breaks with no electricity, wood heat only, and was snowed in from Thanksgiving to Easter so I'm not concerned about having experience. Don't get discouraged, but do what you can with what you have. I am currently living on a ranch where the owner died and his heirs hired me to take care of the place. There are a lot of places just like this in rural areas due to the farms getting bigger and so less farmers or ranchers and the home place ends up abandoned. This place sat empty for 21 years and it's taken me a couple of years to get everything in shape, but the owners are real happy to see it being restored and taken care of. If you're a handy man, you can do the same.
Indeed. Today very few people have gone hungry for a week or two. Once you get hungry enough you litterally can't form thoughts complex enough for you to help yourself out of the situation.
The Greg Ovens channel can give a strong insight to starvation. His 30 day survival trips in the Canadian Rockies, hunting & fishing to survive, come with through descriptions of everything.
I pretty much live the life now... #1- I'm not in debt. I grow my own food and save seed for the future gardens. I preserve my produce and meat in grid and non-grid methods. I practice bushcraft skills and forage, fish, hunt and trap. I raise livestock and know how to butcher. I know elect, machining, electronics and carpentry(I worked in industrial maintenance for 30+ years). I know and use herbal remedies. I don't take regular medication. There are always things that come up I'm not prepared for, I just buckle down and figure it out.
I've come to realize that the skills of trading and haggling are largely unknown to we who are accustomed to stores and supermarkets to get our supplies. We might feel anxious and intimidated about starting this, and also not know if we have made a good or bad deal. Maybe it would be a good idea for like-minded people to stage trading events in which we get together with things to trade, no cash or credit involved, and learn how to engage and negotiate so we can know how to do these things when we need to.
I think the current street hustlers will prevail in this category. Yardsale sellers/shoppers come in at a close second. Your idea of a trade fair would be an easy way to ease into that mentality.
Trading will be simple, if you don’t give me what I want I will take it by force… y’all think the shtf moment will be all breezy lol. It will be mad max everywhere.
Kris, one of your best, and most important videos. While you have provided this info in the past, it is so important to see it again and again, and for us to take action on it. I am still storing food and a third water purifier, I got a solar generator you recommended, and built up my general supplies too. And, I have some precious metals, good protection, and NO DEBT. Your info is protecting my family. Our best to you and your family, and so many others that will get caught up in the coming crisis. Be safe.
You need to invest in yourself to survive any type of collapse. You need to make yourself valuable to any community you can latch onto. Learn plumbing, solar power, welding, gardening, medicine, hunting...anything that would make a community see you as an asset and worthy of food. If you don't join a community after a collapse, you will be prey and not survive.
For a true disaster preparation, we need to think in terms of locality. If your area is prone to drought, floods, bushfires, cyclones, storms or electrical failures, prep for those events. One seriously overlooked prep is FIRST AID. FIRST AID training and preps are essential. Knowledge is vital. How do you clean water, start a fire, set up a camp, source food, attend to an injury or illness? These are the most life-threatening challenges. Focus on them first, then you can buy time to focus on long-term issues.
I believe whole heartedly in prepping because things could get much uglier than you ever imagined. Better to be safe than sorry. When I was a teen, my family and I lived in a country that was ruled by a dictator. When the dictatorship began to crack and crumble after 30 yrs, so did the economy. [Side note: despite prevalent poverty under the dictatorship, at least stores had food and the monetary unit had some purchasing power.] And when both collapsed, all essential systems -from supply lines, healthcare, to law and order- ceased to function. The chaos and violence became so severe that we had to take 4 hour detours all the way around to our destination that previously would have taken only 20 mins to get to, because of miles and miles of blocked roads from riots setting buildings on fire. Trying to go to the grocery store, work, or school became a life-threatening experience. Worse than the civil unrest was not knowing who was following you, who was your friend, and who would turn you into officials. Not even relatives could be trusted [we had to hide in a safe-house from my own father because he had connections in government and we did not know what side of the civil war he stood on]. During the Great Depression, although the economy was affected, the government was not, but a total economic collapse may not be worth hunkering through if the government completely collapses as well. And my family and I had to find a way to escape the country, which is very difficult to accomplish when you don't have a functioning government [just ask the Americans who got left behind in Afghanistan]. It is sad to see the same symptoms that led to the collapse we saw overseas are now happening in the US...and we pray that we won't have to flee yet again. My advice is if you have the financial means to buy a residency or citizenship in another country, then you should. In addition to having supplies, you may want to also think about having an exit route as a last resort just in case.
What most newbies don't understand is that you won't survive without a team of skilled individuals. You all go to a designated location, each person provides as needed skill, everyone brings long term foods, medicines, water purification, communications equipment, weapons and ammo etc. You'll need a good mental disposition like determination, drive and motivation to live. Be prepared to guard your location 24/7 and be willing to defend it to the death, if not the destitute will fight you for it. Planning is key to your success.
The food shortage is starting to hit right now here in Florida, especially South Florida in Broward county. Shelves were nearly bare yesterday, yet no "panic shopping" from what I saw. Most just thought it was low due to stock day being Tuesday. However, that's not the case. Their warehouse stock is on reserve as you read this, so it's only a matter of time before we see this nationwide. Be ready, everyone.
@@yaima0901 yes, really. They're having delivery issues. Not saying they're out of food or will be in the immediate future, but the supply chain is clearly broken right now.
Its here in Nc, walyworld, grocery stores , dollar style store shelves empty. My wife knows farmers. They gotmeat ready to go to market. Truckers not coming to pick up cattle for grocery store chains?? . Have another person father thats a truck driver , plenty of fruit in california heading trucking east.
I live in Texas and I saw the shortage at the beginning of quarantine last year but not now. And as much as I watch this videos and spent my time last year learning hot to garden and save seeds etc I haven’t really prepared myself for a food shortage because I keep thinking that is just me overreacting but apparently I’m not 😑 and it is happening...
I’ve always had a great deal of respect for persons who are able to be self sustaining, as well as take the time to enhance their skills and knowledge. I practice these things and have raised my family to do the same.
This is why we should be building our own communities with doctors, farmers, builders etc... If we come together and start our own communities we'll be fine
Buying a freeze dryer IS expensive but... It's a great way to prepare food you actually like instead of buying freeze dried foods. I have a garden and a freeze dryer. I buy and freeze dry products not grown in the garden.meat/protein and grow and freeze dry my garden produce. A rainwater collection and purification and a wood stove.
Perhaps but overlapping and or interlocking Fire Control Superiority will be of the most Utmost Importance to avoid be pillaged, raped, murdered or worse. Good Luck and BE AGGRESSIVE. Pass the mountain house and ammo please SIR.
Bugging out would be difficult for me due to a disability. But I am as prepared as possible to do so if necessary. It would only be a last resort for me. But I have a bug out bag, several possible bug out locations (and printed directions and maps to those locations) just in case.
I actually live in a bug-out location. The only way that I would get more bugged out might be going to live in a cave at the river. I am not sure if that would actually be more bugged-out because a lot of people around here go to the river. It could be very crowded!
It seems overwhelming to me. I don’t have anywhere to go and I have my elderly mother that lives close that requires my help. I live in Baltimore so if things get bad they’re going to get really bad here and things are already really bad here.
I just spent two hours watching your channel. You have, by far, one of the most common sense preparedness channels I've come across. Great job man. - Bob Yeager Owner and Director of The Woodcraft League of America
This has been done since the founding of America by building a fake wall this creates a place barely wide enough for a person to stand up in but also where you can you can fill with sacks of beans, rice, flour. Make it look like it was always there with no door. Sweep any sawdust away, perhaps even add a little household dust. Tell no one. Consider cabinets with books in front so they can't see the food behind the books, etc.
@@justwannasay5454 Terry Terry, attitude and support will mean a lot during the coming crisis. It may not take much money but it will take carpentry skills or finding other ways to do this like creating a fake floor in your attic, using a cheap rug you already have to throw on top of your supplies, etc. Sarcasm won't cut it when you're fighting for your life, and will only bring down the other around you.
forage, apples, rosehips, berries, wild greens, etc etc etc. I did learn a lot from my Dad who was a woodsman from northern Ontario, I did pay attention. I have many of those practical skills you list.
One of my favorite things to do is look for cheap shtf items that will be worth more after shtf for flipping. For example, I found some nice gauze a while back for a buck a roll. I bought everything they had on the shelf. Other items I like to look for are just cheap items in general like rubber bands, super glue, zip ties, paper clips, chap stick, etc. Stuff that is very cheap right now that will be worth more after shtf
Was in an antique shop 2 yrs ago. Found a old 50 military survival guide. With pictures of medical plants and uses along with edible plants and vitamin content. Best find
Thank you so much for your selflessness. You have taught me so much and I truly appreciate your time and hard work for helping others. Your knowledge is priceless. Again, Thank you!
Thanks for this great information! Seeds are a really great thing to have on hand, even if you don’t have land. I own my condo with no real head space, but I have a nice sunny patio. I have Earth Boxes and grow bags in which I have grown tomatoes, carrots, and various greens year round.
I love watching your videos. I get the advice I can actively work on in such a calm manner. A lot of the content in prepped UA-cam has been very aggressive, act now, impending doom vibes. Even the ones that were not like that before have gone that way since aunty ro started. I find myself coming to this channel a lot more as I filter out the fear mongers and stress
You need protien sources, canned meats, sardines, peanut butter. There are earlier videos & other channels that give good ideas on what to stock up on. Look at what you consume on a daily basis & just get more of it. Also, a way to cook, have light, stay warm, maintain hygiene & so on, in the event of no electricity for a week or 2. And a few lighters to get a cook stove going.
You have a very good point, but if you can sit tight for the first 72 hours, statistically speaking you'll have avoided about 80% of the initial panic.
@@lucybraun8969 So True!, I have some property, water supply and chickens but very close to the city. Once you get into a defensive position you can only hang on until the ammo runs out. Most of my neighbors are unarmed! One even said that he would just call 911, Hahahahah
Average unfortunately is the urban dweller. They're pretty much helpless. They don't cook, can't hunt, down own firearms, don't have any manual labor experience or skills. They've literally spent their lives dependent on the grid for every second of every day. Some people haven't left the 20 square block radius of where they were born. It's a sad, miserable, feckless existence. They are hollow humans. Not necessarily their fault, but they're genuinely pretty pitiful people.
You don't know plenty of folks like that? I sure do, though we don't participate. And I live in a rural area. The local pizza place and hamburger joint had plenty of business even during '20.

@@mattmatt2417 Either way, this is valuable information.
There’s one massive blind spot I keep seeing in every video and conversation on this subject:
Complete industrial infrastructural collapse.
If the economy implodes and little to nothing is done to prevent meltdowns of oil, nuclear, chemical, and other facilities we’re gonna have a much bigger problem.
Imagine every nuclear facility going Chernobyl on steroids until all the fuel and waste is exhausted. Imagine every oil platform going Deepwater Horizon until, those too, are spent and exhausted.
Every chemical plant? Same. Every paint manufacturing facility? Every pesticide manufacturing facility?
See where this is going?
The domino effects that follow will scorch the Earth. There won’t be anywhere to hide. Even the rich people who go underground will never be able to return to the Earth’s surface. It won’t be habitable for millennia.
At this point the only way humans survive is to get their shit together and learn to better manage what we’ve created while also busting our asses to develop sustainable energy technologies.
Until we get to a place where fossil fuels and other similarly hyper-toxic resources are phased out this will be our biggest threat in a collapsed economy and civilization.
Here’s one that may seem kinda dumb, but I’ve been thinking of quite a bit:
How do I align myself with reasonable like minded folks in my area? Not a true “prepper” but have started all of this already.
@@andrewparise7471 Dood, prepping is pointless. If the entire global economy tanks everyone dies. Without anyone monitoring and managing the massive, sprawling network of chemical plants, oil and fossil fuel infrastructure, nuclear facilities, and much more it all starts to implode, triggering a domino effect of cataclysmic events that will scorch the Earth and take many thousands of years for the planet to recover from and make habitable again. There won’t be anywhere to hide long enough to wait this out. Even the richies who go underground to their bunker palaces will never be able to return to the surface. Neither will any of the progeny they bring into the world.
I think the #1 thing I learned while living in a mud hut in the Himalayan mountains for 8 months with NO heat, electricity, running water, plumbing, toilet paper, and other modern convinces, is that you CAN adapt to anything. All the preps in the world will not help you if you are not mentally flexible and strong. Yes, you need the preps, the knowledge, and the community, but metal fortitude is the lynchpin. YMMV.
I can't believe NO ONE has responded to your post as you are absolutely correct. The TV show "Alone" really stressed that aspect. They also had to deal with being alone, which many endured during the lockdowns, so mental and spiritual strength are really vital as part of being physically prepared.
Whoa Trigger, that sounds cool. I would like to hear more about this if possible. You should make a video about it or write a short story about it.
I would like to hear more of your story in the mountains as well. Thank you for sharing
@@jaydavidson4592 Not sure what people want to know. Wish I could share pictures on here. I was in Nepal for the fall of '95 until the fall of '96. Most of that time out in a small village in the far N.E. of the country. Like I said, living conditions were .... primitive.
@Brother Paul dude I have absolutely no clue what you are talking about. I have zero intentions of going up against any vets, as I am friends with lots of them. Controlled environment? You mean like how our first task when getting out to the villages was to map out an LZ in case we needed to be emergency extracted? I seriously have no idea what you are talking about...but maybe you don't either.
One caution that I suggest, for a long term collapse.
When water and food trucks show up to give out the meager government supplies to keep people from starving; ALWAYS be standing in the lines just like those who did not store provisions ahead of the collapse. And make sure to wear ragged clothing. And don’t be too clean. Rub some grunge on yourself before heading out to the food truck lines.
If your neighbors notice you are never standing in the water lines and food lines; they will likely conclude that you have hidden supplies!
Good advice, and that might work, IF the government shows up with help....

In a total economic collapse, the biggest threat will come from our neighbors who never bothered to prepare at all. They're going to be worthless in terms of what they might have to offer, but they will still do whatever they have to do to survive, including engage in violence against you and your family.
They won't be entirely worthless. Just decide whether you're in the mood for white meat or dark for the evening meal. You might also have the option of choosing between Mexican or Chinese! I wouldn't recommend the Chinese however. An hour later, you're probably going to be hungry again.
You sound like Ned Flanders.

Back in the 1980s, I was a witness to a total economic collapse in Michigan when the auto makers closed factories. Thousands were without a job. We did see homes get broken into, yet, most moved to Texas where the jobs were.
Please take note of those people who are creating fear. They have *no* control over you. Being prepared is essential, but being afraid is not.
Well, are you going to get prepared now? 2/25/2022? Russia vs Ukraine
The UD State Dept started the war in Ukraine. There was a negotiated treaty where an overwhelmingly number of people in a couple small areas voted to join Russia. Zolunski ran as a peace candidate saying if elected hef6 sign the treaty so he received meat 90 percent of the vote
But immediately the US State Dept told Zolunski that of he signed the treaty he'd be assassinated
So the Russians came in to free the provinces that voted to join Russia and the war begs. Biden said most of the money will come back to us

All you have to do is buy ahead on the foods you already eat. This way the money is not wasted no matter what happens. Also, I am also amazed at how people completely underestimate the calories you will need. In a crisis you need MORE calories than you do normally.

Not only do you need to be stocking up on food, you need to be hiding it in different locations throughout your home and property, including your attic, basement, and holes in the ground. If you put it all in one place where an intruder can find it, they can take it all at once. Make sure you have only a "normal" amount of food in your kitchen and put the rest elsewhere in obscure and hard to reach places.

Every week I buy less with the same money. This is when you know that things are not right. The dollar is worth less and less. We rely so much on others countries to make our lives possible even when we do not want to accept it. As imports stop coming as it happened in 2020, with the constant droughts we are having, and the shortages in water already in some places, it is best to accept that you need to be mentally and physically prepared for the inevitable. I laughed at those in the Y2K that were prepping. I thought that it was ridiculous. After 2008, 2020 and the collapse of the grid in Texas during the coldest days, I learned that when the collapse comes, and it comes very fast. I find myself now preparing for the next catastrophe.

I took this into account. I started doing “EXTRA” last May 2020. I made sure I added camping stoves, emergency food kits (2). Then cans upon cans, beans, 80 pounds plus of rice, 20 pounds beans, 75 lbs of dog food, fuel, generator. I have built 4 months so far. Now to think of 2-3 more survival kits. That’s $400 to $1200 to spend over the next 4-6 months

My grandparents were young adults when the great depression hit in 1929. It lasted until 1940. They had almost no money, but PLENTY of food since they lived on a farm in Nebraska. They had chickens, cows, geese, goats, pigs, rabbits, etc., 160 acres to grow corn to feed the animals as well as had a garden to tend for vegetables to eat all year long by canning for the winter. There were 12 children, and nobody ever went hungry, even if cash money was rarely seen for years. My grandma lost all the money she had when her bank closed for good without warning. It was only $25, but that was a lot back then.
My parents also went through the great depression as children. My dad won't talk much about it but to this day, he HATES oatmeal and raisins. He says that for months, that's what they ate for breakfast, lunch and dinner. They were a very poor family. I would have liked him to speak further of the depression before he passed. But he would not.
My grandfather was rich, then WW2 happened, and suddenly he wasnt and almost starved to death.He survived though against all odds, while 10% of the population died from starvation.
I also grew up with my grandparents these kids man it's really scary to see how clueless they are because those idiots will be deadly levels of desperate during any time of hardship even Great depression level never mind an actual apocalypse
Quick tip. Have a stockpile of clothing larger than you wear. As others are rapidly losing weight but you have food..wear the larger clothing to the illusion of weight loss
I knew my baggy jeans would come in handy one day…
That’s great advice. Very smart
Also for layering clothing during colder months.
Brilliant
Get out the makeup as well so you can make yourself look pale and a little sick. Bags under your eyes etc.
This is 100% True. I was Homeless and lived in the woods for 1 year. I suffered starvation, and it is the WORST form of suffering a human can experience. It was BRUTAL!. I am 6 foot tall and got down to 97 lbs. Bailing twine held my pants up.
2 years without power and running water
Never blinked an eye
Stayed healthy and enjoyed the freedom of living oof grid
Throw ten bucks a week on canned goods and other non perishables at Walmart or dollar tree once a week is always my advice! Don’t gotta break the bank it adds up fast doing that
So I did my payday prepping yesterday...with lots of meats, pasta and noodles!!! The cashier an older guy asked me if I was running a restaurant...lol. I said "yeah, for my family"!!!😉😉
You can also say you're buying for a foodbank 👍
Whenever anyone questions me about the amount I am buying. I suddenly developed selective hearing and smile but stay silent. Never answer them. It's not coming from their wallet. So I dont need to reply.
@@RighteousDay Thats my line lol.
I just say, "large family" there's eight of us!!
I am thinking about canning half my meat. I have so much to lose if the powergrid goes down.
It's not just food, its everything. Clothing, shoes socks underwear. I know that sounds silly to think about but look at some of the sections of these items in local stores. I used to stock at Walmart. I know how much stuff like socks and underwear was in the back cause there was no room. Now these sections are staying empty with no new sets coming in. My boss was trying to get a good pair of hiking boots and finally found what he wanted for around 299.00 He got an email today saying they couldn't fill his order and refunded him. He went to another site and the exact same boots are now 386.00....
Your 100% correct think of everything.
wet weather gear is essential, once your outside and wet life gets miserable real quick.
I reckon I have a lifetime's worth of clothes. Okay, not underwear. Everything else is sorted though.
For boots check eBay. I got a pair of £150 boots on eBay for £16. Looks like they were worn only once. And that's my backup pair. Main pair was £21 delivered.
Maybe we’ll get lucky and they’ll just go full scale thermonuclear. Who the hell wants to continue is dystopia, struggling from second to second.
There is a discount/salvage store Mardin's in Bangor. I have bought thick winter socks there. Personal items are very inexpensive. You need to get it when you see it because they may not be able to stock some thing again. I have a storage box full of winter socks, thermals etc. Get prepared with even the little items used on a daily basis.
I appreciate your down to earth way of giving us information. No dramatics and fear tactics. Your voice gives me real hope, not fear.
So true🙏🏾
It will be a slow collapse, people will deny it until the end. It is best to be out of the cities and into a rural area, it might not be perfect but it will be a lot better than the nasty old cities. I am in the country now, if I can do it so can you. Best get with it folks time is short.
I dont think It Will that slow, they re pushing their agenda pretty hard now, Remember It Is only 8 1/2 years to 2030
That's happening here already. I live in the Mtns around where NC, TN and GA meet It's insane how many ppl are pouring in here right now!!!

Lessoned learned. My wife and I keep a well stocked pantry and are prepping supplies are divided into near term, short term, and long term. February 2020 store shelfs went scarce and meat disappeared. We were ready with several pounds of meat in the freezer. As time drug on meat was non existent in our area. I think we are average and have meat 3 maybe 4 nights a week. We were able to share with a neighbor and still had more, but what if this goes on? We decided to go vegetarian or meat only 1 or 2 nights a week. Over the next few weeks we converted and started using near term preps. Before we realized it we had cut meat out of our diets. As spring came we enlarged the garden and downloaded over 100 vegetarian meal ideas. One year later we eat maybe on meat meal a week, we have both lost some weight and enjoy cooking vegetarian meals. The moral to this story is, it may not be to late to modify you diet.
this is a great post. Also losing weight reduces the amount of calories it takes to nourish.
Vegetarianism is grim. There simply isn't enough fat or calories to be truly satisfying. It will keep you alive though.
@@sheikherder thanks for the response.
This is so insightful. Meat and fat are for times of plenty. Plant based foods are staples and can be relied on for long term sustenance so long as there is a vitamin B12 supplement. Some plant based foods are cheaper and easier to stockpile and store long term.
S felt pen can be used to quickly date each item. 'need to research life expectancy for various items.
Honestly, I'm scared for what the future holds for my children. My sons are 1 and 9. I don't want this to be their future
Understandable. My 90 year old mom was born in 31 and lived through the Great Depression. I sometimes chuckle when she wants to save used foil or wash plastic bags, but, we may appreciate this behavior in the near future.
I have a two year old and a 9 year old. So very scary 😢
Set their mindset now . Don’t set them up for a dream .
I currently participate in farmers' market. The people there are great resources that can use your resources as well. I currently sell cookies, books that I wrote, and what little produce I have left over from canning there. This helps me rotate my preps as well. I am learning all the time about my climate and what grows well here. The more I learn about my community (human and otherwise), the better for me and those around me!
That's nice. I'm not sure we have that. I'll research.
They closed ours down to build what? Another hospital lol
Farmer's markets are very expensive. I suffered a severe case of sticker shock the first time I went to one.
@@nolagospeltracts8264 People who sell at farmers' markets are not government-subsidized. Your taxes pay corporate farmers so you don't see what the food really costs you when you purchase at the store even then most family farmers can't make ends meet!
@@donnabrown1518 I sympathize but I don't have a lot of money myself and have to watch my spending. I've been trying to perfect my backyard gardening skills for several years now.

Well hopefully it is a house in the country.
Absolutely! This just happened down the street, the local gang unit moved in and now occupies the home that was paid for by a great man, Ken kromar, nothing but lies from the gang(police) and bar mafia.
Darn...so what do you do? Not payoff your house???
When the authorities collapse and money is worthless the house will be yours, anybody disputing that has to fight you for it, because the bailiffs will stop working when they realise how screwed they are too.

soup lasts way longer than 2 years. I ate some 20 year old soup and it was fine. I ate some stew which expired in 96. The biggest hazard of soup is the huge amount salt they put in it.
Soup with tomatoes doesn’t last that long
That's because it's acidic and eats at the can it's in.

Back in 2012 when I started prepping, I had a stock of food for 6 months vacuum sealed freeze dried canning, after a few years you start consuming everything and now when you really need it the prices have gone up to restock it will cost you double almost triple to prep for 6 months now😟
Yeah but look how much money you saved so far.
And you ahead of others too because you KNOW what you need to buy And how to store it.... not learning everything from scratch!

Would you consider adopting a middle aged daughter
My Mothers family lost their home during the Great Depression in New Zealand when a terrible earthquake destroyed the town they lived in caused them to be evacuated to a tiny farming hamlet with no furniture at all . They had to start again in a rented house and Grandma had to grow vegetables and actually made clothes by getting the kids -8 in number to forage for wool that was on the fences from sheep which tend to leave wool all over the fences and gates during growing seasons. . She carded and spun -then knitted them items to wear as well as made them clothes from muslin sugar bags,. The community pulled together and lent each other items .I think from what she said it was common sense way of life back then .The wartime habits added to this and continued into the 1950s which is when I was a kid ..and I still run my house somewhat like that now with a vegetable garden and trying to cut down on all the packaging which is a curse.
I'm glad you brought up foraging and wild edibles. Dandelion, clover, mustard, and so many other wild greens will be truly essential for survival.
Not many will think about these wild edibles. And some will think anything green is safe. You should do a video on specific greens as well. Thanks!
My mother and her siblings used to eat Hawthorn flowers and leaves in the spring. They used to call it bread and cheese. This was during WW2 in the UK.
A lot of them are packed full of vitamins and some have medicinal properties too.
there is an app you can download on your phone and Amazon has books just in case. Get a solar charger for phone
The SAS survival guide is good for this and it has pictures of edible/non edible plants too
I let my backyard go because I wanted to see what grew naturally. I took pix of 5 “weeds” And wow 😮 they’re edible (human or livestock) and/or medicinal. There were some weeds that are great for pollinators, which would help your garden. I’m now growing specific weeds in their own patches - no upkeep required, yay.
Books! Books would be important. First books that teach important life skills, such as what plants are safe to eat or how to work with primitive tools. Not only those, but also books for entertainment. Escapism would still be an important factor in helping emotional health and good stories can also teach. I also think music would be important as well, especially when in a community.
I ordered a few hundred more pounds of beans and rice along with other supplies last week and 5 gallon buckets, lids and mylar bags got dropped off today. I don't think any of us will truly ever be ready but it cant hurt to at least try. Also I'm a realist and understand that I can only do so much and keep chapstick in case I gotta kiss my butt goodbye. Nobody is invincible and we all need to stay humble and know our limitations.
"I can only do so much and keep chapstick in case I gotta kiss my butt goodbye." ...Pure gold! I'm gonna steal this and use it in the future. :)

Having pioneer tools like machetes,silky saws,axe,hammer,shovels, heat reflective tarps, and warm clothes and at least fleece liners with SOL bivy bags in the bugout vehicle is a must. Living in Ontario Canada where it gets cold in the fall and winter,having a means of building a shelter is a top priority.
Having non power tools to prepare invade the electric grid goes down is important. Also fuel may be in short supply in the future so hand tools will be very useful. Yes they still make hand drills.
I lived in Alberta years ago. As a teen and older, even now, it was advisable to have a winter survival kit in all vehicles. The open prairie can produce wind chill factors of -40. Blankets, an arctic sleeping bag, some large candles and some food. There are some areas of 10 to 20 miles or more between small towns. If you get trapped in blizzard white out conditions and get stopped you WILL freeze to death if not prepared. You can run the vehicle for short amounts of time but need to be aware of the possibiliy of CO fumes entering the vehicle...
Thank goodness we now have cell phones and can call for help. In the 60's/70's you were on your own unless someone drives by and stops to help you.

Excellent info and it can seem a bit overwhelming when you realize just how much we need to think about. Most importantly, is to trust in the Lord God for wisdom, direction, and protection. One of the best preps that is not physical, is hiding the word of God in your heart and being spiritually prepared for what is ahead because the period of tribulation is upon us and it is crucial to do the physical and spiritual preparation.
Amen!
Yes!
Amen we are living in the end times. The door to Mercy is about to close. Once it's closed it can not be opened again. As in the days of Noah so shall it be again. It will be worce than the dark ages. Some will be like Daniel in the lion's den, some like the 3 HEBREW men in the fiery furnace, some will be in the arena to be put to death for Christ. Times running out. Be prepared spiritually, it's the most important then work on the physical. Do what you can do and leave the rest to God. Get ready and stay ready. Jesus is coming back so very soon. It's going to be rough and hard times, but we can make it with Jesus! In the end Jesus is all you are going to have! Even so Lord Jesus come quickly.🙏📖🛐🕊️ show ♥️ like Jesus then if need be 🏹🔫 then victory 🙌🙌

Get yourselves ready for the next lockdown. Water filtration/purification, 1 year supply or more of food (Rice, beans, flour, sugar, salt, yeast, proteins, veggies,seasonings, condiments), Rx meds/OTC meds, First Aid Kit, hygiene, security. Prep for winter and learn to grow your own food. Work with others if your feeling alone or overwhelmed. It’s good to talk things out. Stay safe everyone. ❤️
Great advice thank you
Try getting extra meds...most RX providers treat you as though you intend to sell any extra meds for money...idiots.

Learning how to make sourdough starter. There are ways to make it without wasting it. I want to learn to forage.

So true!
Get some Bantam chickens. They're small, but they're super broody and will keep hatching new chicks without the need for an incubator. This time last year I had 3 Bantams, in about a week when this new batch hatches I'll have almost 30 of them. They just disappear for a couple weeks and come back with chicks.
Great tip! Sketch
What will you feed the chickens if feed is in short supply?
@@cll2020 they don't eat a lot of feed. I have 20 something of them, I use 2 types of feed, those 2 bags last several months, they mostly eat bugs. Plus, I have so many now, they lay eggs way faster than I can eat them, so I hard boil eggs that are going bad, then let them eat those eggs. Also, I recommended them because in a shtf scenario, they breed super fast, and I would be eating a bunch of them.
White Leghorns are incredibly productive and ferocious foragers. They don’t go broody though but you could put their fertilized eggs under bantams.
@@bradlafferty I've been thinking about getting some of them. They lay more eggs yearly than any other type, from what I've seen. I have a broody buckeye too, that could hatch some eggs, but I only have bantam roosters right now.
If I could add one thing would be to sharpen your mind, study and develop philosophies that help you be cool if bad stuff happens. If you get mad because the internet got down for 5 minutes you'll be doing something stupid and get yourself injuried or killed in a few days just out of boredoom.
Really
I had to rely heavily on Marcus Aurelius and Seneca and Ryan Holiday’s channel to get through a 10 day blackout and 6 days without running water. I had stockpiled plenty of water and carb/protein heavy non perishable food.
I had failed to adequately emotionally prepare myself. Stoicism gave me the intellectual tools to endure, and even thrive. I learned how to embrace the difficulty of losing access to the modern conveniences and interconnectedness we’ve grown accustomed to. I told myself I was ready because I had materially prepared, but I was not spiritually ready.
It was a hard lesson to learn. But I am so glad I learned it, and grew from it. As the ancients would say… *Amor Fati*
EDIT: Also, I want to point out that I was starving for vegetables by the end. Buy dehydrated fruit and veggie buckets. I could tell my diet was not high enough in certain vitamins.
@Surviving and Thriving Yep. My area got hit hard. We were flushing toilets with buckets of water from a bathtub waterbob I filled up at the start of the storm by the last few days.
I cannot describe the joy of the first night waking up with the heating on and the phones charged fully and the internet waiting for the morning. But I am already preparing for this Winter, and others are starting to as well. Delta Variant will have killed 400,000 Americans on its own by mid October by CDC estimates. It will get bad again, and likely last into early 2022 when Delta boosters become available and vaccination rates increase.

All you need to have is a deep understanding that everything is temporary. Even your own life. I know a lot of people don't want to contemplate that because they think the first thing to go is their own life. However, with this single thought, you can get through anything that you are presented with.
Amen brother .. Everything is Temporary. No problem =)

In my instance, I'm still waiting for the rain ...
Somebody needs to do a video on survival bush caches.
I've been burying my preps out in the woods for several months now on route to my bug out location.
The more you can cache , the less you have to carry.
My nutrition is already stocked. My rain barrel is installed. My boom stick has food too! Also have 2 bows. One last thing to get (a larger solar generator to run the freezer). Got my camping supplies, tent, rocket stove.
I'll say this; being prepared sure relieves a lot of anxiety about the future.

If ur a coffee drinker, buy ur coffee now. I bought a 5lb bag of green coffee beans that I can roast myself, 5days ago. And I just checked the price and it went up $11 in the past5 days. It will probably go up even more. There is a huge drought where alot of the beans r grown and along with inflation and everything else right now, coffee is going up. The coffee I bought was 33.99, now it is 44.99. Crazy. Also green coffee beans can last for years if packaged right. Once the bean is roasted, it starts to go bad and will last only 6months or so. Even when packaged right it will go bad once roasted. So store green beans and roast urself. Really easy to do just watch a yt video. Also I find the coffee tastes even better and is less acidic. Stay safe ya'll. 🙏
Publix has eight oclock coffee this week thru Tuesday, buy one and get one free. Eight oclock coffee has been around since 1859. Whole beans 100 percent Columbian really good. Jill for Jesus Tennessee...

If you have paid for your home you don’t own it if you can’t pay taxes. They have thought of everything.
With how much chaos would be going on during SHTF, how are they even going to take the house from you if you're bugged in? The people working at the bank are going to be focused on keeping themselves alive or they're dead.
How can someone with no house payment not afford taxes? Sounds like BS to me, unless they are in a high priced area where they should just sell out and move somewhere cheaper.

Government response:
Let’s just look at the government response to Katrina. How long did it take, and how many were effected. Now let’s scale that up
Sadly so Shane. A real nation wide disaster will equal no response from our government. If we do get a response it may be worse? It may lead to a foreign regime coming over to help. Do we want them?
@@ferebeefamily
Scary thought but plausible. We can hold off RedDawn for so long as the government has the weaponry, but if it decides to go underground to its bases after a while that may not matter. I've heard even the mention of U.N. "Peacekeepers" being deployed if SHTF became exacerbated and drawn out with little gov. intervention

One of the things I have done is make a thumb drive filled with over a hundred PDF books, I also have a cheap windows 10 2-in-1 laptop/tablet with a foldable keyboard that I can recharge with a solar power cell, now I have all those books literally in my pocket. In a collapse these books will be essential and valuable. I am working on buying a piece of property away from big cities, will have it before the end of the year and it will be paid for in cash. I will use a tent if I have too. Great video.
Check out the bushcraft channels. Several show how to build small cabins. TA in the Woods made a nice one with a tower for hunting. Coalcracker Bushcraft made a yurt. Greg Ovens recently made the pole frame for a huge teepee (tipi).

Awesome idea bro! I started saving data like that on sd cards in an xray proof container.
I've been prepping since the 80's and consider myself fairly well prepared, but know there will be items I'll wish I had that I don't. Something seldom mentioned is redundancy. Technology fails, equipment breaks, etc. and you need to get good at jerry rigging things. Also having various sources for items as you use them up. For example, I have a 2,000 gallon cistern for drinking water, 1200 gallons of storage tanks collecting rainwater off roofs, a well near the house and a creek within 150 yards of my house. Redundancy. I have 7 mules for transportation along with wagons and all the horse drawn equipment needed to farm with. Saddles and pack saddles when wagons break down or I need to travel off road and so on. Chickens are a big plus and a major source of renewable food, but you need grain for them so I have about 500 bushels of oats in a grain bin and 200 of wheat in another. I've got camping gear, tee pee's and tents with stoves for shelter if I have to relocate, and on and on. I lived for 2.5 years in the Salmon River breaks with no electricity, wood heat only, and was snowed in from Thanksgiving to Easter so I'm not concerned about having experience. Don't get discouraged, but do what you can with what you have. I am currently living on a ranch where the owner died and his heirs hired me to take care of the place. There are a lot of places just like this in rural areas due to the farms getting bigger and so less farmers or ranchers and the home place ends up abandoned. This place sat empty for 21 years and it's taken me a couple of years to get everything in shape, but the owners are real happy to see it being restored and taken care of. If you're a handy man, you can do the same.
Back to the land
That's what we are short of - seven mules!
This guy's a wizard. In the first minute he foretold everything that is happening right now!
Most folk don't understand the implications of starvation.
It's easy to make someone understand. Have them go hunting with you out in the woods and once in the middle of nowhere say you forgot the food.
Indeed. Today very few people have gone hungry for a week or two. Once you get hungry enough you litterally can't form thoughts complex enough for you to help yourself out of the situation.
The Greg Ovens channel can give a strong insight to starvation. His 30 day survival trips in the Canadian Rockies, hunting & fishing to survive, come with through descriptions of everything.
@@retrotek0409 I have personal experience with starvation but I'll check it out.

I pretty much live the life now... #1- I'm not in debt. I grow my own food and save seed for the future gardens. I preserve my produce and meat in grid and non-grid methods. I practice bushcraft skills and forage, fish, hunt and trap. I raise livestock and know how to butcher. I know elect, machining, electronics and carpentry(I worked in industrial maintenance for 30+ years). I know and use herbal remedies. I don't take regular medication.

I've come to realize that the skills of trading and haggling are largely unknown to we who are accustomed to stores and supermarkets to get our supplies. We might feel anxious and intimidated about starting this, and also not know if we have made a good or bad deal. Maybe it would be a good idea for like-minded people to stage trading events in which we get together with things to trade, no cash or credit involved, and learn how to engage and negotiate so we can know how to do these things when we need to.
I think the current street hustlers will prevail in this category. Yardsale sellers/shoppers come in at a close second. Your idea of a trade fair would be an easy way to ease into that mentality.
Trading will be simple, if you don’t give me what I want I will take it by force… y’all think the shtf moment will be all breezy lol. It will be mad max everywhere.
when 10 guys with guns show up there will be no trading or haggling....
Start going to yard sales. It's an easy skill to learn there.
Kris, one of your best, and most important videos. While you have provided this info in the past, it is so important to see it again and again, and for us to take action on it. I am still storing food and a third water purifier, I got a solar generator you recommended, and built up my general supplies too. And, I have some precious metals, good protection, and NO DEBT. Your info is protecting my family. Our best to you and your family, and so many others that will get caught up in the coming crisis. Be safe.
It's gonna be ok, we got this. We have been watching these videos for years. Band together, strength in numbers.
🙏
No...it's NOT going to be okay.
@@user-pr9ln3rh6b maybe not for you, Forrest.
You need to invest in yourself to survive any type of collapse. You need to make yourself valuable to any community you can latch onto. Learn plumbing, solar power, welding, gardening, medicine, hunting...anything that would make a community see you as an asset and worthy of food. If you don't join a community after a collapse, you will be prey and not survive.
For a true disaster preparation, we need to think in terms of locality.
If your area is prone to drought, floods, bushfires, cyclones, storms or electrical failures, prep for those events.
One seriously overlooked prep is FIRST AID.
FIRST AID training and preps are essential.
Knowledge is vital.
How do you clean water, start a fire, set up a camp, source food, attend to an injury or illness?
These are the most life-threatening challenges. Focus on them first, then you can buy time to focus on long-term issues.
I used to think preppers were a little crazy, totally different view on them now.
Deer in the headlights sometimes :(
I believe whole heartedly in prepping because things could get much uglier than you ever imagined. Better to be safe than sorry.
When I was a teen, my family and I lived in a country that was ruled by a dictator. When the dictatorship began to crack and crumble after 30 yrs, so did the economy. [Side note: despite prevalent poverty under the dictatorship, at least stores had food and the monetary unit had some purchasing power.] And when both collapsed, all essential systems -from supply lines, healthcare, to law and order- ceased to function. The chaos and violence became so severe that we had to take 4 hour detours all the way around to our destination that previously would have taken only 20 mins to get to, because of miles and miles of blocked roads from riots setting buildings on fire. Trying to go to the grocery store, work, or school became a life-threatening experience. Worse than the civil unrest was not knowing who was following you, who was your friend, and who would turn you into officials. Not even relatives could be trusted [we had to hide in a safe-house from my own father because he had connections in government and we did not know what side of the civil war he stood on]. During the Great Depression, although the economy was affected, the government was not, but a total economic collapse may not be worth hunkering through if the government completely collapses as well. And my family and I had to find a way to escape the country, which is very difficult to accomplish when you don't have a functioning government [just ask the Americans who got left behind in Afghanistan]. It is sad to see the same symptoms that led to the collapse we saw overseas are now happening in the US...and we pray that we won't have to flee yet again. My advice is if you have the financial means to buy a residency or citizenship in another country, then you should. In addition to having supplies, you may want to also think about having an exit route as a last resort just in case.
What most newbies don't understand is that you won't survive without a team of skilled individuals. You all go to a designated location, each person provides as needed skill, everyone brings long term foods, medicines, water purification, communications equipment, weapons and ammo etc. You'll need a good mental disposition like determination, drive and motivation to live. Be prepared to guard your location 24/7 and be willing to defend it to the death, if not the destitute will fight you for it. Planning is key to your success.
Wow! Thanks for the information AND the "kick in the pants" to keep prepping, prepping and prepping.
The food shortage is starting to hit right now here in Florida, especially South Florida in Broward county. Shelves were nearly bare yesterday, yet no "panic shopping" from what I saw. Most just thought it was low due to stock day being Tuesday. However, that's not the case. Their warehouse stock is on reserve as you read this, so it's only a matter of time before we see this nationwide. Be ready, everyone.
Omg really?
@@yaima0901 yes, really. They're having delivery issues. Not saying they're out of food or will be in the immediate future, but the supply chain is clearly broken right now.
Its here in Nc, walyworld, grocery stores , dollar style store shelves empty. My wife knows farmers. They gotmeat ready to go to market. Truckers not coming to pick up cattle for grocery store chains?? . Have another person father thats a truck driver , plenty of fruit in california heading trucking east.
@@flir67man84 that's the biggest issue is a shortage of trucks and drivers from what we're being told here.
I live in Texas and I saw the shortage at the beginning of quarantine last year but not now. And as much as I watch this videos and spent my time last year learning hot to garden and save seeds etc I haven’t really prepared myself for a food shortage because I keep thinking that is just me overreacting but apparently I’m not 😑 and it is happening...
Food Shortages have hit in Nor Cal. Organic Chicken and ground beef were completely sold out. My fiancé thinks im crazy but I’m starting to prep
I’ve always had a great deal of respect for persons who are able to be self sustaining, as well as take the time to enhance their skills and knowledge.
I practice these things and have raised my family to do the same.
This is why we should be building our own communities with doctors, farmers, builders etc... If we come together and start our own communities we'll be fine
We call those communities towns and cities 😂😂😂
Buying a freeze dryer IS expensive but... It's a great way to prepare food you actually like instead of buying freeze dried foods. I have a garden and a freeze dryer. I buy and freeze dry products not grown in the garden.meat/protein and grow and freeze dry my garden produce.
A rainwater collection and purification and a wood stove.
The prepper community would be smart to coordinate with the backpacking community who also have skills and knowledge that overlaps well.
Agreed. My son is an expert hiker….all his gear is what a prepper would need to sustain minimally.
Perhaps but overlapping and or interlocking Fire Control Superiority will be of the most Utmost Importance to avoid be pillaged, raped, murdered or worse. Good Luck and BE AGGRESSIVE. Pass the mountain house and ammo please SIR.
Bugging out would be difficult for me due to a disability. But I am as prepared as possible to do so if necessary. It would only be a last resort for me. But I have a bug out bag, several possible bug out locations (and printed directions and maps to those locations) just in case.
Bugging out to a secure location you have is great. If you have no destination in advance its a bad idea.
I actually live in a bug-out location. The only way that I would get more bugged out might be going to live in a cave at the river. I am not sure if that would actually be more bugged-out because a lot of people around here go to the river. It could be very crowded!

It seems overwhelming to me. I don’t have anywhere to go and I have my elderly mother that lives close that requires my help. I live in Baltimore so if things get bad they’re going to get really bad here and things are already really bad here.
I just spent two hours watching your channel. You have, by far, one of the most common sense preparedness channels I've come across. Great job man. - Bob Yeager Owner and Director of The Woodcraft League of America
If that's the case, preppers should build a secret room in their homes that nobody knows about.
This has been done since the founding of America by building a fake wall this creates a place barely wide enough for a person to stand up in but also where you can you can fill with sacks of beans, rice, flour. Make it look like it was always there with no door. Sweep any sawdust away, perhaps even add a little household dust. Tell no one.
Consider cabinets with books in front so they can't see the food behind the books, etc.
Yeah right. People have the money to do that...
@@justwannasay5454
Terry Terry, attitude and support will mean a lot during the coming crisis.
It may not take much money but it will take carpentry skills or finding other ways to do this like creating a fake floor in your attic, using a cheap rug you already have to throw on top of your supplies, etc. Sarcasm won't cut it when you're fighting for your life, and will only bring down the other around you.
Stash stuff in walls drywall over it. Bury food and whatever you need away from your home

This has to be the most authoritative prepper channel on UA-cam! Excellent! Thanks!
forage, apples, rosehips, berries, wild greens, etc etc etc. I did learn a lot from my Dad who was a woodsman from northern Ontario, I did pay attention. I have many of those practical skills you list.
One of my favorite things to do is look for cheap shtf items that will be worth more after shtf for flipping.
For example, I found some nice gauze a while back for a buck a roll. I bought everything they had on the shelf.
Other items I like to look for are just cheap items in general like rubber bands, super glue, zip ties, paper clips, chap stick, etc.
Stuff that is very cheap right now that will be worth more after shtf
What is shtf?

Was in an antique shop 2 yrs ago. Found a old 50 military survival guide. With pictures of medical plants and uses along with edible plants and vitamin content. Best find
Awesome
Thank you so much for your selflessness. You have taught me so much and I truly appreciate your time and hard work for helping others. Your knowledge is priceless. Again, Thank you!
Thanks for this great information! Seeds are a really great thing to have on hand, even if you don’t have land. I own my condo with no real head space, but I have a nice sunny patio. I have Earth Boxes and grow bags in which I have grown tomatoes, carrots, and various greens year round.
I love watching your videos. I get the advice I can actively work on in such a calm manner. A lot of the content in prepped UA-cam has been very aggressive, act now, impending doom vibes. Even the ones that were not like that before have gone that way since aunty ro started. I find myself coming to this channel a lot more as I filter out the fear mongers and stress
Dry beans, rice, flour. Anything else, tinned.
WATER, WATER, WATER 💦. LOVE YOU
rolled oats, sugar, dried powdered milk
lentils, chickpeas, peas, quinoa.
You need protien sources, canned meats, sardines, peanut butter. There are earlier videos & other channels that give good ideas on what to stock up on.
Look at what you consume on a daily basis & just get more of it.
Also, a way to cook, have light, stay warm, maintain hygiene & so on, in the event of no electricity for a week or 2. And a few lighters to get a cook stove going.

I keep wondering how anyone could"escape" or "bug out" with all the other vehicles on the road trying to do the same thing...
You have a very good point, but if you can sit tight for the first 72 hours, statistically speaking you'll have avoided about 80% of the initial panic.
Bug out to where? Unless you have some rural housing to run to.
@@thomasauto4862 if you don't have a rural site to bug out to by now, you're toast. It's not like they are easy to come by.
@@lucybraun8969 So True!, I have some property, water supply and chickens but very close to the city. Once you get into a defensive position you can only hang on until the ammo runs out. Most of my neighbors are unarmed! One even said that he would just call 911, Hahahahah

What? "The Average American Eats Out 4-5 Times A Week By Conservative Estimates"... Says who?
Average unfortunately is the urban dweller. They're pretty much helpless. They don't cook, can't hunt, down own firearms, don't have any manual labor experience or skills. They've literally spent their lives dependent on the grid for every second of every day. Some people haven't left the 20 square block radius of where they were born. It's a sad, miserable, feckless existence. They are hollow humans. Not necessarily their fault, but they're genuinely pretty pitiful people.
Probably explains why so many can't live within their means and are in debt 😒
I eat out once a year. My birthday.
That's what I said too. I might eat out once every 5 months.
You don't know plenty of folks like that? I sure do, though we don't participate. And I live in a rural area. The local pizza place and hamburger joint had plenty of business even during '20.
Even if your home is paid for, you don't really own it. Try not paying your property taxes and see if you get to keep it.
Exactly 😥 we truly never own our homes or any land - it's all owned by the Government (Elites)
