Parents born 1924 - first 10 yrs spent with grandparents - They Always Had Food Stashed! 1986 moved her to Texas - she had canned foods stacked in the closets of her bedroom and spare rooms, shed. While packing, she broke down and cried b/c mom wanted to throw away her food she'd stored! Cans were bulging! She threw it away at night while she was sleeping ... This is The Depression of my era ... Grateful I'm Old 🙂
I've Always bought extra food and I believe it's because of the trauma my parent and grandparents experienced ...
I’ve been prepping for a number of years. Unfortunately I rent so what I grow is limited to containers. I am very close to my farmers. I buy all my food from them and have for years. Need to stay where I am at the moment and it’s nearly impossible to find even a small piece of land here in Lancaster County, PA.
Wish i had ur optimism, but considering the latest news today, 1a is almost gone as they start their move,,, i doubt there is 3 left let alone 10 years, by 10 u will not recognize this planet
@@vldardenif u can, a piece of dirt far as u can get from the crowd, rent it out if needed if u have to. Stay put to work, but have someplace to run to stocked.. bestt if around family u can count on
The fact that at this point in time we are not being urged by the government to have victory gardens... Survival gardens. Tells you know everything you need to know.
The extremely evil elites plus do not want anyone to, they are wanting for complete CONTROL over all people's lives, rely on them to provide😂😂
I'm pretty sure Biden mumbled something about governmental dystopian tyranny gardens no? 😂
@@miscanime Some folks want to force a garden registration. Don't let'em.
To them, independent Americans are the enemy.
If we are growing our own food, we aren't using gas, at the stores as much, etc etc means less taxes they can suck out of us.
The government system is only relevant because people are duped into the system.
They HATE independent self reliant individuals and families.
The Government are actively trying to suppress self sufficiency !
I prepped for Y2K. It came and went, nothing happened until a week later when I lost my job. I then realized that I wasn't actually prepping, I was being prudent.
Wow. What a great testimonial.
Yes, exactly! People see it as panic or paranoia when in reality it is WISE to be prepared.
That wa my verry first thing. I was like 15 and I put some water in the freezer just in case.
@@teslabot5650exactly!
When I was a kid, in the 50's and 60's, EVERYONE had a garden. Every town lot had a garden and a clothes line. Many had poultry. Everyone knew how to grow things and keep the weeds down. Apparently a lost art.
It is becoming illegal as well. All those people from the 50's Are now considered potential terrorists.
That all this grief is being perpetuated on purpose by sociopaths bent on power, control, self enrichment is the scary part.
AMEN!
For those of us who remember growing up in a small midwestern town we could buy absolutely everything that we needed. Our own Federal Government has gotten rid of almost those mom and pop places.
Control the food and you can easily control the population. This is what they really want.
This video has just confirmed my mission for 2024. A month ago, my wife and I felt strongly to double our garden size as well as buying a bit more dried goods for long-term storage. Thank you for your message. Thank you, Jesus, for providing for your children. Thank you for sharing with the community
Your comment makes it worth the effort to keep publishing. Thanks for taking the time to share!
IF?!? If you have children? May the Lord richly bless such a deserving woman! 🙏
"This is a drill, mercy given." -I was hearing internally also. God speaks to His children if we listen ❤
That's beautiful. I remember when my mother was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer and given months to live. She was watching the news and a young person died after graduation and had done great academically. She said while the doctors are telling me how much time I have but this young man/ woman didn't have a warning. Only the Lord knows our days. Living in wisdom and obedience for your family and others is not about fear. The discernment from the Lord will always look like something negative to the outside but he's called us to such a time. I only have a quarter acre but God is in control!
What seemed extreme and paranoid 4 years ago seems very reasonable now though, most people have very short memories and pay little attention to what's happening.
TRUE, WELL SAID!
Its because they're trying really hard to grasp for what was pre-pandemic
I have yet to find a more noble Proverbs 31 woman on the internet than you.

Much love and thanks from South Africa 🇿🇦 We face exactly the same crisis but nobody’s talking about it. ❤️
How do the whi tests people pay such a huge bl ack population 🤔 welfare
Way back in the apartheid time my nana always use to say that ; in future people will have money in their hands but won't even be able to afford to buy food.
My God shall supply all my needs, according to His riches in glory. He has abundantly for 69 years and He will continue because He is a Good, Good Father.
AMEN.
Why you and not others ? 😮
@@Kebekwoodcraft7375 Good question. Anyone can say that everyone has their needs met, because otherwise they would be dead.
@@josephpostma1787 some good believer have hard time !
The same is offered to all that believe and trust Him. So many do not Trust and live a life in His presence. @@Kebekwoodcraft7375
Great communicator! Very informative, educated and organized clear messaging, and pleasant to listen to also! One of the better podcasts regarding homesteading and on youtube!
I concur
Indeed! Well spoken. 👍🏻
I hope you can start a family sooner than later, the world needs more Godly mamas.
We need Godly Fathers for those Mamas.
2 Corinthians 4:4 Tells Us That We Live On Satan's Playground
@@Defundthemasons We don't have to allow peckerhead play anywhere. This Playground belongs to Father in Jesus name.
Nah GOD says if you are able to overcome your sexual desires, you better stay virgin focused on worshipping GOD. And he also says, blessed are the women who have no children in the end times.
@@raise7478 no one knows when the end times will be, why miss out on family if you desire one? The children of Israel multiplied dramatically when in bondage in Egypt. The Bible calls children a blessing and a gift, and they are a little piece of Heaven on earth. A Christian family is the foundation of a great society.
Always Do Whatever you Can, to Prepare. Something Our Ancestors did Organically, With Everyday Life, Without DEPENDING on a Governments Resources, JUST LIKE the AMISH do to This DAY.!
All it takes is an EMP. Natural, or otherwise.
Covid, Katrina, earthquakes, blackouts, financial upheaval
The ability to compartmentalize a situation increases your ability to survive et win
I honestly think you have less than a year. If you are not established and you do not have heirloom seeds from past years for your area. I believe you're going to have a tough time. Root crops are a must in my opinion. Chickens and we know if we've been paying attention they are attacking them. Rabbits. You know the saying they breed like rabbits. But you have to be able to provide your own food to feed them so that you can feed yourself and your family. This is a daunting task. And I am old. I only hope younger people are paying attention. I do my best to teach them what I know but this is extremely difficult in this time we live in. Oh and I almost forgot. You're r going to need a greenhouse. And if you follow the suspicious observers channel. You might need an ark.
An armored ark... but even that wont help what is coming
I'll bring the ark. You just get those seeds planted.
@poetryfrompoverty ark wont do you any good for what is coming, let alone trying to grow anything
I have rabbits. I grow lots of kale, mustard, and dandelions for their fodder.
Yams, taters, and taro are year round roots.
I also have a biogas digester to create energy from waste.
The ones paying attention consume research and knowledge while we can access it easily.
When the grid goes down, silence is the key to survival.
The hungry mob can hear generators and they will come for your stuff.
@@dr.floridaman4805 is that like a wood gas generator?
Any healthy adult with even a little land can grow a tremendous amount of food, which can be started in any given year. What can't be started so quickly is building the knowledge and supplies/equipment/storage needed to do so and preserve it. I often tell folks that I can grow and preserve enough food for my family, but the diet would initially be very boring. It is this aspect that I'm now concentrating on, particularly developing perennial food sources. I try to improve my security every year. Last year's major project was a wood shed addition to the barn to hold 12 cords of wood, which is now just about full, representing 2+ years of heating. My range top now uses propane, which of course you can stockpile and doesn't require electricity to work. Similarly I now have a farm gas tank that I cycle fresh fuel through, which with some rationing on my part is enough for about a year of use. Since I'm in my 70s I don't expect to reap a lot of the benefits I'm working on, but it will be there for subsequent generations if needed.
You are preparing for yourself and your future’s generations. My next door neighbor is in his 90s and doing the same. I think it’s wonderful. In addition to our regular preps, we’re building a library for all the kids and grandkids.
That is the hope if its not seized
Growing herbs can help with the boring diet. We dehydrate and freeze dry them. It takes up very little space.
Wish I could figure out the growing a "tremendous amount of food" part. Been trying for years and only get a small amount. Not enough to live on.
@colleengleason6533 good ground, enough free wood to build what you need... simple start are pallets and learn to compost while u learn kratky method of growing food to reduce your food bill... without funds and guidance it takes time. . Been working on it for 10 years and still trying to make a dent
Started picking up Xtra twine , salt, mineral, bolts, nuts,jars and any other known consumables. My bull is throwing more heifers than I've ever seen ratio before.
I've been doing the same. We had an odd ratio last season with a lot of bull calves so I have a lot of meat steers for the future. This calving season is just getting started for us so I guess we'll wait and see.
@@Jay-pp7uv dont forget xtra vaccines that can be stored up, large bottle of penicillin, iodine, tetnus shot and bands if you cant cut anymore, tags. i'm hoping to get the 2nd half of my cattle fencing replaced this summer. ive got most of those supplies already. put out more hay. i figure we will be told we are not allowed to grow soybeans next year or the next 4 . if we dont get a brokered convention like thomas massey. i'm looking into reusable floating row covers, maybe a green house. i'd like to find a couple 1000 gal fuel tanks .
Those bolts taste pretty good huh.. 😅
I kidd around... Good advice 👍
Being a Florida native I'm used to prepping because of the hurricanes. Northerners either wait until the last minute, buy a bunch of junk that they will never use, or load up on perishable food items.😂
Northerners get ready for blizzards in winter by stocking up in the summer and fall.
Food insecurity is everywhere. I moved from south texas to west africa, senegal, and its here also. We have bought our own little farm and are working to make it regenerative and sustainable for us as the world around us falls apart. If you dont have land buy pots and grow your food and can some also. Buy dry goods and can meat for later use. You will not regret it and as always Support your local farmers !!! ❤ and also remember security issues also. If you dont own a gun go get into a class and learn how to use one and buy one. Things will get crazy when people have no food ❤
I choose to call it having oil for my lanterns. And I plan to respond in the same way those women did if people come to me and want me to share my oil. Everyone should know by now that we can’t trust our current system. They need to get ready too.
Now , what is on the White House trying to stop farmers and growing food
Thank you so much for sharing! We raise Dorper in California. The sharing of importance of being prepared will save lives. May the Good Lord Bless you and your loved ones.
You're awesome. God bless you
AMEN!
See, what you just said at 3:45 of the video that is the type of rational thinking that is just common sense and what is normal historical practice that the powers that be try to turn around and say that this type of behavior is radical and subversive and so forth to keep us from wanting to be prepared and to just remain helpless and submissive.
We can give our opinions, perspectives and advice all we want but unless we have the Holy Spirit guiding us daily we will continue to live for ourselves and fight the wrong battles. He will be a voice behind us saying, “This is the way, walk ye in it.”
Small correction: WWI ended in 1918, Nov 11, 1918 to be exact. It started in 1914.
Great message about being prepared.
Another fine video, indeed the near Stockholm Syndrome levels of grid dependency is alarming in any country with a land to people ratio that can feed produce an exportable food surplus. Speaking of 2020, I remember going to the grocery store when ALL the flour was gone, but the yeast, baking soda/powder and even the salt was untouched, clearly no one knew how to use that flour they grabbed in fear. A better investment than flour without yeast powder soda or even salt would have been Bibles, yet again few panic who own and use one.
I have been minor league prepping for the last 25 years. During Covid I didn’t need a single thing but I did take any and every opportunity to buy what was available to prevent dipping into my supplies too much. By the end I had a few ideas for improvement and barely touched my year supply. However, we also strongly felt that this was a warning to us to do more. More gardening. More hunting and fishing. Don’t let the governments of the world threaten your ability to survive.
I don't know just spitballing here. Over on the east coast we got more water than we can pump out of our basements. Maybe instead of building oil pipelines we should be building water pipe lines. And pump the water from where it's not wanted to where it is needed. Just typing out loud here.
Yes, something to think about. There are probably many currently unused pipelines not suitable for hazardous materials that could move A lot of water easily.
Thank you. You explained prepping so eloquently, calmly and correctly.
This is the way.
Prep and pray!
Beautifully said. I run a food shelf in a small northern MN town. I am having trouble getting enough food from our food bank 2 hours away due to a decrease in donated food. This is because there is no longer the excess we once had. I am likely preaching to the choir but LEARN TO GROW YOUR OWN FOOD!!! Learn to preserve your own food. Learn to cook your own food from ingredients. Know your neighbors. Create community. Support your local small food producers.
GOD BLESS THIS young lady
Perfect message for our times! As Christians, we appreciate creation and the superior Wisdom of it. Not only can we demonstrate resistance to fear but working with joy and peace for life affirming processes and results. Just In Time (JIT) logistics is a corporate enhancement for profits but is woefully inadequate for disruptions. Maybe we can imagine and refine "De-Corporating" ourselves in all areas of life immune support, food preservation and production, land conservation and defense, off grid energy production, etc etc. Classic methods coupled with modern science could yield exciting results. Most importantly, we need each other there's a lot of damage our reliance on technology has done to us socially and a Spiritual revival will bring us together in love and respect. Let's occupy!
Thank you for sharing your Faith! 🙏🏼🕊️
Thank you so much for what you do!! ❤
You ARE a blessing. Thank you for accepting His Light into you and sharing it for others.
For some reason we are slow to remember the lessons in our history. How soon we forget which isn’t very helpful in being ready for the future.
Much of history is a lie, yet “unless we learn from history, we are apt to repeat it.”
All good advice, but now its also kinda recommended you also do a video about how to defend your farm properly, because you've put a big target on it saying that you're doing extra stuff to prepare for bad times.I don't know what kind of locals you have but in bad times people change and you don't know if you will get only locals if things go bad.I can only imagine that in a true hunger farms will be major targets so you need to show people its not going to be an easy one.
The Amish seem to have things sorted.
Well said. 🙂👍
Very good. We’ll rounded!
Grace's book is AMAZING! It's full of wisdom, tips, great photos and some humor ❤
Here our grocery stores didn't run out like the news. Not a good reason to ignore what happened other areas. The good part for Washington state is we have ALOT of food growing and produced. People don't realize how much we make and export to other states.
I’ve been prepping for longer than you have been alive and nothing has ever happened. But I’ve also been paying insurance for that many years and nothing has happened. ( YET )
Likewise. Until recently. I dropped my insurance I honestly think the way things are going it will not be paid there is too much devastation and the insurance companies cannot pay now. They certainly will not be able to pay later. As far as preps go. That's your insurance.
Where were you in 2020? My parents have been prepping for years, and they didn’t have to leave the farm.
@@pinerider19 I'm confused. Who left the farm? Sometimes it's hard to follow these threads
I started prepping the day Obama took office
Do you regret prepping for so long and you’ve never needed it? If you were say thirty today with all that’s going on, would you prep? I’m curious what your take is on it.
truth. thank you.
Thank you! You've outlined a lot, given great data & facts to all. It is WHEN. Not if. Land is gold in order to survive. Grow your own & being willing to do so now is key.
Anybody that knows the word of God knows that we do not have 25 years! I doubt we have five. No man knows the day or the hour but we are smack dab in the season! Prophecy is jumping off the pages right now we are in the book of Revelation! Lord help people and your people to open their eyes! My people perish for lack of knowledge! 🙏 Get on the ark Jesus is at the door!
You are a intelligent, informed, young lady. God bless you and thank you for sharing your knowledge.

I was lucky growing up with people who can be considered the last of the old time pioneers in the Pacific Northwest and Montana. I'm 69 my Great Grandmother died in the 60's in her late 90's my Grandparents (Scots and American) started out life with horse drawn equipment and travel. Both Grand Dads fought in WW1 and lived through the Great Depression with my parents as children doing what today is called "Prepping" or "Survivalisim". This was a normal way of life on both sides of the Atlantic. I was raising my own Sheep as a 4-H project while my Scots Dad was a Ranch hand or Cowboy on various ranching and farming operations my American Mom grew up in the Idaho mountains and Eastern Oregon and Eastern Washington learning to hunt, Fish. At 20 she got into Nursing later she became a food scientist making recipes that are still in use for major nationwide food production companies. They still grew gardens and put by food until they couldn't anymore. This was a way of life for them and not a movement.
Thanks for your efforts. Your passion and willingness to learn and share your knowledge is exactly what our Nation(s) need right now. Keep doing what you're doing.
This all makes sense and even if nothing happens. Get back to basics is always a good motto.
Amen! Another great reminder😊 The wise store up choice foods and olive oil, but the fools gulp their down.
Please everyone don’t forget security. Palmetto State Armory has a fantastic sale in July…the expensive items have been 1776. They are professional and employee many women and I feel at home when I shop there. Their PSA pistols are Glock compatible
Wise advise! We try to keep two years worth of hay on hand. It saved us during the last drought!
You are 100% right.
Love it girl! You are bold with your faith!
I should be prepping for retirement/old age.
Add chestnut trees to your orchard. American Chinese cross.
Chestnut trees produce a tannin in the wood, that can be treated with alkali to give phenol and resorcinol. The later can be nitrated to give styphnic acid, a key ingredient in modern small arms primers
I just enjoy country life, growing my own food.
Oh, thank you for your time, energy, and wise advice... much love from McDermitt Oregon
You certainly are removed way out there. Good job!
@JG-tt4sz it's like living in the Ghettos here. My house has been robbed twice, and truck rebuild parts stolen.. huge meth and other drug issues.. I didn't realize the Paiutes were so racially motivated to their own disadvantage.. even amongst themselves.. good day to you
@@modocroughstock5700 I have a close relative that works in that area. What you say does not surprise me.
Good analysis.....
It seems like half the homes in the Midwest have some level of garden in the backyard. Gardens provide many benefits. The vegetables are more nutritious than those from industrial producers. You can't buy vegetables that fresh. It's fun and saves money.
Gardening also has a lot of synergies with animals. Chickens can turn rotten tomatoes into fresh eggs. Goats seem to prefer freshly pulled weeds over any other food. Spring is when wasted hay and used bedding become garden mulch. Manure is better than most fertilizers and spreading it on a garden is a second chance to absorb purchased nutrients.
New subscriber. Yes preparing. My concerns are seeds for gardening and for growing feed.
Great!Hope wise people manage to defend their crops and livestock. I think goats are the best for survival in long terms for town beginners. Kids love them so much.They like dogs, who can give you milk.
Didn’t realize we were neighbors! Love your videos and glad to know you are local. Cheers!
I just wanted to let you know you are a breath of fresh air.
You are a smart young person. I'm glad you want to help by putting the word out.
Totally agree with you!! Excellent advice!!!
Nicely composed essay from a sane woman. I'll have to see what the book looks like.
I rent a bedroom in the burbs of Atlanta. No well water etc and on the grid. I'll stay prayed up, that's what I can do. Well, that and my 🐓🐔 but they are claiming bird flu has jumped species and they're killing off millions of chickens again including the top producer of eggs.
oregano, elderberry, apple cider vinegar. Research it and share❤.🐥 🐓
For those of us stuck living under the whim of slumlords. We need much prayer,just to have hope of "gardening" even from our balconies in containers. Poeple these days are selfish and sick, would rather have apartments look uniform and uninhabited.
Your video reminded me I was behind on my summer prep. Thank you for bringing it up 🫡🐂
Such good information here!
Beautifully said. Thank you.
Thank you
Your content gets better and better. Excellent job!!!
Thank you for your clarity.
thankyou, I hate being called a "prepper", although I do everything I can think of to create a more resilient lifestyle. The last few decades of modern Western culture's 'security' is only a blip in the history of humankind. You have so clearly stated the real reasons for transitioning to a more 'normal' way of being
You caught me with He shall supply all my needs. Thanks for sharing this

You Rock girl,
Keep up the farm and thrive!!!
Growing up we put a school bus in the ground to use as tornado shelter and root cellar. Tornadoes could take your house 🏠 and having food storage in the ground is great 👍.
Shepherdess, you are my hero.
Thanks for being logical ❤️
Used to work at DG, now they rip people off cuz of not be honest on the prices on the shelves. Sad, pisses me off. But people would come in before weather. Id tell some people that that store would NOT be able to do much in a emergency..during water issues, stores brought in water cuz we ran out.
