There are oil lamps with wall mounts, if the power goes out and you're worried about a pet knocking a lantern or candle over, you can just put them on a wall instead. The lamp, not the pet.
Despite having good winter clothing, those disposable hand and foot warmers seriously saved my butt during a bad winter storm a couple years ago, when I still had to go out to take care of the livestock. On that note, stocking up on livestock feed, medication, and even extra water for them is something I'll never neglect again. We had to melt snow over a propane burner for two weeks in order to water our animals when the electricity to our well pump went out!
That is my main issue. We have a well and whenever our power goes out, our pump doesn't work. Generator is 110 pump runs on 220. In order to mitigate this issue, I went and got about 14 5 gallon jugs and filled them with water. The generator is enough for us to keep the furnace, fridges and deep freezer going. We also have about 4 5 gallon gas containers in order to be able to run the generator.
I really like your content and how you don’t just tell people to go out and buy all these expensive prepping items. You really help the average prepper that doesn’t have thousands to spend.
Your so easy to watch. Simple stories and you speak easy and understandable This way we can keep up with all news. Please keep posting as long as you can. Stay safe.and keep prepping.
Important use for hand/foot warmers! Put hand warmers on heart, also on your back in the heart/lung area to better warm the circulating blood. I watched a long documentary showing effects of cold on thinking and dexterity. After putting them on the chest/heart, his thinking improved vastly and he regained some dexterity.
If you have an auxiliary electrical source, electric blankets are wonderful. It can drop down to 40 degrees F. inside our cabin at night, and we never get cold.
Excellent advise as always. Thank you JR. The FBI is now warning us about possible threats to our electric grid and to our water supplies, so having the supplies you suggested for winter storms would also come in handy for those situations
For those with limited funds, there are storage containers with lids, found at Target, WalMart, etc., such as "Mainstays or Sterlite 18 gallon Totes" which one might use for clothes, which can be repurposed for storing water. They can be stored in a closet and can be filled with a water hose with a connection to a kitchen sink, if a person is in an apt or does not have an outside faucet to use. These totes cost from 7 - $8 last time I checked.
I was about to say same thing. I got 10 35gallon totes. Duct taped them so the top will not expand and have them in garage just incase one starts leaking. That's over 340 gallons for less than $200.
Our winters are long with extreme snow fall and are brutally cold. 😨😭 Being prepared and organised is a must especially when you live on the city outskirts like we do. Even though our infrastructures are made to withstand this type of weather (to a limit) we still get power outages. Thank you for your videos, they're always very informative. Take care and God bless,ess from Ontario Canada. 🍂🍁🎃
Yep. I am in North East Ontario, and -50 is not uncommon here. We are country dwellers, propane heat with a high efficiency woodstove as backup. Stay safe and warm.
@@reloadnorth7722Hi! I'm in the South Eastern part, our average is -35 to -45 with high/bitter cold winds and a wood stove is definitively essential! Stay safe and stay warm as well! 🌟🍁
Evening J.R.....those items are also great to stockpile for the upcoming war and the upcoming economic collapse as well as government overreach and fuel/energy price increases. I would suggest for cooking and lighting to have backup equipment as well as the fuel. Don't forget to keep a fire extinguisher handy. Another good stockpile prep is medication, as well as water (pipes freeze and or power outages as well as cyber attacks on the utilities grids). Food that does not need extended cooking or heating is a good choice. Great information as usual J.R. 👍
@@donnaemslie5729 insulation, in coming pipes buried below the frost line...the best thing is to turn off all water to home and drain....this is why water storage is so important during winter freezes.✔️
@donnaemslie5729 Hi! I open up the cabinet doors and then leave a very minimal trickle of water going from the faucet when Temps are super cold (teens or single digits in F). Be well! 😊
I keep a pair of rechargeable handwarmers in my truck. They are a combo of a small battery bank and handwarmer I also keep a battery jumpstarter around to start a car or if the generator battery is dead.
I've been considering buying more hot water bottles (the old fashioned red rubber kind). I have a lot of ways to heat water and that could easily translate into ways to put heat under layers of blankets or even inside a parka.
I have enough for every member of my immediate family plus a couple of spares. Not many people think of using hot water bottles. Cloth bags filled with rice could also be placed near a wood stove to absorb heat, then slid into a sleeping bag. It would give off a little warmth I'd think.
I have the old fashioned "rubber" hot water bottles for all members of my family and we use them when we lose our electricity in the winter. Since I have several elderly cats, they too have their own hot water bottles. If using them on small children or pets, make sure to wrap the bottles in a medium heavy cloth so there are no burns. I like to use old wool sweaters.
Speaking of heat and a light reminded me of a question my math teacher in 7th grade asked. You are lost in the woods. You find an abandoned cabin. Inside you find a stove, a lantern and a fireplace. You have one match. Which do you light first? Think about it.
Excellent run down JR. Thanks for sharing and definitely not looking forward to the -45C winters we have up here....lol. But we'll be ready. Cheers from Alberta!
You do a good job of this, old son. I watch a lot of prepper channels and I'm glad you're doing what you're doing and catering to likely a younger audience than old farts like me nearing my mid-70s. Just sayin' and giving you the H/T you deserve.
Thank you David. It's funny that you mention my audience. Most of the people that watch my channel are actually much older than I am. Thanks for watching!
Make time to read your prep books now and don't forget to practice. Ensure every family member knows where things are, how to use them and when. You might set aside a family prep night each month or have one Saturday morning contest/ month with the kids, winner gets something, such as a special dinner, picking where to go for the day, et cetera. It only takes a small amount of time so you and yours are ready.
I recently watched a power outage vlog which the parents gave their small kids a jar of candle each and not a single bottle of water at home. The kids literally running around the house with candles 😮I was speechless.
Pitching a tent indoors will provide heat for the people using it since it is smaller and the body heat will warm it up quickly. Sleep in it and you’ll be comfy cozy
Good video, man.. Definitely will take note of all this.. luckily for me, i live in florida, and it doesn't get too cold.. but you made a few good points that i need to look into my preps. Thank you
My mattress is in my tent, laying on top of my box spring. I turn the heat down at night and me and my dog stay warm in the tent while saving on heat bill. Just can’t turn heat down so much that stuff freezes.
One thing I like to do as I go thru a gallon jug of water I use for h9me health equipment 8s to fill them with tap water str8ctly for things like watering indoor plants, flushing toilets, anything really but for drinking. I will even use them and refill as I finish them so they don't get too stagnant
Before a storm hits I always fill up my oversized garden tub in the master bath and put a plastic pitcher with it. That way if there is a water issue we can flush the toilet and have back up water to wash with, dishes, etc. and not waste the drinking water.
Cheap way to store water is to buy drinking water in gallon containers. It will keep at least 5 years, whereas 24-packs of bottled water tends to taste "plasticky" after only a couple of years in storage.
Great video. I have tips for congestion that work for me : organic (if not fresh) ginger root powder, cinnamon and a slice of lemon and honey in hot water works the same as NyQuil, my go-to med for that. Also Vicks to breathe better but also makes a really effective mosquito repellent in summer. Best wishes
Thanks again JR. I made a bunch of candles in jars. I also made candles out of crisco, wicks, and I had no jars left so I used soda cans. Crisco burns for hours. People like to stick a candle in the container it comes in thats a no, no there made out of cardboard or whatever the rest is common sense. Once again thank you for all you do. 😊
At least on a positive note, this would be a good time to buy stuff for this winter. It's supposed to be a mild winter again. And stuff won't sell as much and will get discounted and lowered. If you need certain items for colder conditions, it's a good time to get those items for future use.
What is a suitable boot for another Texas Snowpocalypse but is still wearable for the occasional near freezing temps during most Texas winters? I would to get some use out of a pair without cycling between sweating and freezing. I'm glad JR mentioned entertainment. That was an issue for me during Snowpocalypse but I was better prepared for ice storm 2023. Something not mentioned is many items, if chosen properly, can be used for disaster prep and car/festival camping.
I don't have any personal experience with active cold weather footwear, but my recommendation would be to look into what people use for mountaineering and other winter activities. My only cold weather boots are ones that I use for hunting. They're well-insulated but also very clunky and heavy, but that's fine most of the time for me since I walk to a deer stand and then sit for several hours.
I bought a pair of Sorrel boots several years ago when I was living in Syracuse. They were a little pricy, but they have held up well, and are quite comfortable. Highly recommend.
I have rechargeable 🖼 artwork lights, I charge them off my power station and hang them around the house. They have remotes and some are motion detected ( for the bathroom). They also come with cool and warm light that can be switched for different uses.
I buy kitty litter in the totes that have a lid that closes tight. Once the litter is gone, I scrub out the tote real good and use it for storing. They are great because they are stackable too.
Check out using chafing food fuel warmers, underneath an 8 or 10 inch clay flower pot. It will give you light and heat and you can store them for a very long time.
Many pharmacies have a $4/10 cash list for certain medications. You can get an extra prescription medication outside of your insurance for emergencies.
I have Ryobi tools and their lanters and flashlights are great. The also offer power converter. I'm assuming Dewalt and other companies have their own options.
I just bought some freeze dried food but is that the best option? How long will canned goods last? Is that a better option? I’m new to this whole prepping process so I am trying to learn.
Hi! Good questions and I understand you wanting to sort this through. I have both of these options on hand. 1) I have dehydrated food from “Mountain House.” This is a better option then it’s ever been, with the availability of filtering water; an important consideration with dehydrated food is a way to filter water, or use stored water, for rehydration. However, remember that dehydrated food can be eaten right out of the package, as it retains some moisture. 2) Canned goods that are kept in a cool area, with no sunlight, can last many, many years; far beyond their expiration dates. This has been proven many times, by people opening cans that are 8 to 10 years old and having them professionally evaluated. The nutrient content can diminish, but not significantly. If the cans exhibit rust, dents, or are swollen/bulging -dispose of them.
We are seeing that weather patterns are Sliding around the Calendar: Summer patters have persisted Long into what we normally expect to be AUTUMN in the northern Hemisphere. _*Do NOT Be surprised if WINTER conditions Persist Months into the period where we Normally Expect Thaws and Warm Weather. Much of this is related to Cyclic changes that re-occur and can be seen in the Geologic Record every 12,000 years, going back millions of years.
