well, at a certain stage, I think I have heard it start round about 90 days after blackout, it is enough that sb can just find you ... No: I will not tell my hungry children what sort of meat this is ...(they will know it anyways then, they are not stupid .-) ...)
Excellent! The first time in all the different Prepping Sites on UA-cam that I hear a list of Top Priorities without waltzing me through a Bla, Bla, Bla Short & to the Point! Thank you very much.
Glad you enjoyed it! When building the script, I try not to go on and on for "watch time". I try to get to the point and if people like the content, I hope they come back. Thanks for stopping by.
Overall a pretty good list except you forgot the number. One thing you need salt if you manage you get meet or poultry or fish, you need salt to preserve it.
Good point. I should have included it in this list. I have included salt and the necessity of it in other videos that I have done. Thanks for swinging by the channel today. It's appreciated.
Thanks for adding that. And based on the feedback of this video and level of comments/interest. I'm currently writing a script for a part 2 to this video. Thanks for stopping by.
Also if you cannot stock up on paper towels or toilet paper you can use your old cloth who has holes in them to cut up to use Rags when they are been used just throw them into a bucket of water and wash them out then you can reuse them
Back in the old days, we only had cloth baby diapers. They were collected by diaper delivery services and returned washed and sanitized. Hot water and bleach (a prepper staple) will take care of your ass wipes.
Make sure you have plenty of Fire Extinguishers on hand, because You are gonna to be your own 1st responder and Fire Department if life things go Sideways. Also and expensive item but way be worth it's weight in gold a Reverse Osmosis Water System. Comms I.E CB radio, GMRS and HAM also add a good short wave radio that can be hand crank to charge. Last but not least a Faraday Cage and learn what an EMP is and can do. Just my 2 cent Good luck
Glad you mentioned the internet. Everything is on line these days, even retail. Once that goes down, pity help the generation that have never been without it.
Absolutely. I live on the internet, but I know we need to be prepared that it could go down. That's why I personally have a bunch of maps, instructions and information already printed out with my supplies.
Awesome video, I would also add nails, screws, zip ties, glue all kinds, Velcro tape, manual tools, fire extinguishers and self defense or combat training.
Books on how to cut, clean and prepare wild foods, wild game, fish, herbs for food and medicine, etc. for novices, there will be quite a few that will be clueless on that issue.
Agreed. Very smart to have a lot of books, reference manuals on hand. You can probably get a lot of these on Amazon or at a Dollar Store. Here are a bunch on books on Amazon: amzn.to/49aRoht And entertainment will be very important. I even did this video on "19 Games For Prepper Entertainment" ua-cam.com/video/Xv1jpo60zMk/v-deo.html @@MaryGwenDungan
Nice yummy radioactive herbs, fish and ? What’s wrong with everyone lets all just vote in people of integrity with a strong moral compass who care about others not themselves and actually do good for humanity
Don’t forget ammo. Also, the best type of alcohol to stock up on is liquor. The bigger the proof the better. Like 150 proof! Liquor can be used for 1st aid, cleaning, bartering, vice, and it doesn’t expire!
@@j.d.preppingerie6522 Interesting. I didn't know about those from a first aid point of view. Thanks for the tip. I'm definitely going to read up on those use cases. Cheers.
I try to tell people as often as I can that just getting the stuff is what's important. Don't worry about having a specific need for everything. I get stuff weekly that I have yet to use and I don't even care. Just knowing I have it makes me very proud of what I've been able to acquire
I came across these use cases for coffee filters. Water Filtration: Impurities: Unbleached coffee filters can be used to filter sediment and larger particles from murky water in emergencies. However, their effectiveness for removing harmful bacteria or chemicals is limited. Rainwater collection: Place a coffee filter over your collection container's funnel to strain out leaves, debris, and insects. Remember, collected rainwater still needs proper treatment before consumption. First-Aid: Wound dressing: In an austere setting, sterile coffee filters can serve as temporary wound dressings to absorb minor bleeding or protect wounds from dirt. Always prioritize professional medical attention. Strain compresses: Use a coffee filter to strain debris or impurities from water used for wound compresses. Hygiene: Improvised feminine hygiene products: Coffee filters, due to their absorbency, can be folded and used as makeshift sanitary pads in emergencies. Prioritize seeking proper hygiene products whenever possible. Dust masks: In situations with limited dust protection, fold a coffee filter multiple times and secure it around your nose and mouth. This won't filter harmful particles completely but can offer some basic dust protection. Shelter and Tools: Insulation: Use unbleached coffee filters as makeshift insulation for makeshift shelters or frost protection for delicate plants. Fire tinder: Dry, unbleached coffee filters can be easily ignited and used as tinder for starting fires. @@MaryGwenDungan
I live in SoCal(LA Co), where we only think the big one(not big foot) is really the only worry, but this week (2/4-2/6/24, we had nonstop rain. I had 2+hrs of power outage. I used my hand crank radio cuz I did not want to drain my phone battery. Makes me feel for you folks that have real setbacks. My prayers to you. Just feel for the war torn oppressed.
Thanks for chiming in. I saw the news accounts for Southern California and all of the rain that happened. It sure looked tough and go. I'm glad you are ok!
People are overlooking the easy storage, low cost and many uses of whole grains. You can almost live on wheat berries alone. Grains can be use for bread but also for cereals. There are hand mills and electric mills. I suggest have a hand mill is storage just incase you need it. For a few $100 you can store a lot of grain. Yeast is cheap, purchased at Sams, in packages of 2 1lb packages for under $8. All you need to store grain is keep it dry, keep the bugs out and find a place where the temps are kind of even. You do not want a really hot location like a garage in Arizona or out doors is Alaska. The basement of a house is usually a good location or even up stairs in you house. Another food that is being over looked is sprouting greens. You can sprout greens in a mason jar in you kitchen. You can sprout beans or salad sprouts. The advantage of using sprouts is you can sprout them fresh for everyday, very hard for someone to steal your food, very easy for anyone to do even children and handicapped can sprout seeds and they are high in nutrition.
I appreciate this breakdown. It's helpful for me and the community overall. So thank you for adding this knowledge and experience. Speaking of hand mills, I was just looking at this one on Amazon. I might pick one up. amzn.to/498lNgs I did do these videos as well: "The Ultimate Guide to Survival Gardening for Preppers" ua-cam.com/video/gWg4yzqtXJo/v-deo.html "9 Survival Crops Preppers Should Grow To Be Ready For The Apocalypse" ua-cam.com/video/HNfABsE8vdw/v-deo.html "20 Foods Preppers Can Grow In Buckets Year Round" ua-cam.com/video/q4zpkZnAjZk/v-deo.html
Yeah.. but nobody talks about bringing your neighbors and immediate community members together to hold your ground. No matter whether on good terms or not….you are going to need their support and they will be there. As will you for them.
Yes, thats true, but can you trust them enough to not turn on you though? if the SHTF, it could quickly turn into a dog eats dog world out there, and it will be every man/woman for themselves.
Great video! I love the way you get straight to the point without droning on for several minutes for each topic. The only thing I would add is cash: have at least $100-$500 in small bills, mostly ones, some fives and maybe a few tens; any larger denominations are unnecessary. At least in the early stages of a crisis, cash will still be king. And you won't have to worry if the ATM or credit card reader is down! Thanks and keep the videos coming! :)
There will be a time cash, gold and sliver are worthless. Fresh food will be more valuable. You will pay with your wrist. Many store are already going to that.
@@ThePrepperAlmanac I got my old bike out a few months ago and had a local bike shop tune it up with a new chain and stuff to be ready for an EMP/grid down scenario. But I forgot about my old patch kit, haven't used it in years. It makes a difference being able to patch a flat on the roadside.
Great to hear. I hope to help a lot of people with this channel. I have fun making the videos, so hopefully we can all build a community together and share info.
Bleach goes bad with age. Get dry chlorine for pools and spas. Baby wipes or single use antibacterial wipes can be used to bathe instead of water. I have done it camping. Can also be used as toilet paper. Emergency toilet. 5 gallon buckets work with wood shavings or cat liter. Get a bunch with lids. Store outside for a month and it will make fertilizer. Solar yard lights can be charged outside and brought in at night. A tent can be set up inside a house to limit heating area in winter. You can make a tea candle heater out of a soda can that will warm a small area like a small tent or under a poncho. Mylar emergency poncho will trap heat. Large heavy duty Mylar blankets. The single shot alcohol bottles are good for barter. Bringing out 750ml is not a good idea. Fire blankets along with the mentioned fire extinguisher. Battery powered CO2 detector if you are using cooking fuel inside. Hearing aid batteries if you are hearing impaired. They will be scarce and wanted. Watch batteries too. Eye glass repair kit
add plastic carrier bags too, they can be put over bushes or leafy trees and tie with a rubber band at the end, after a while condensation will form then you’ll get water 💧
That's a great idea. Thanks for that. I did do another video on this specific topic too. "How Preppers Can Harvest & Drink Rainwater" ua-cam.com/video/jB5s9XcFYO8/v-deo.html Check it out if you get a chance. Have a great day!
Always remember the three "T"s for trading. Tobacco, Tampons and Toilet paper. Everyone you meet will be willing to trade for these. Long shelf life, no refrigeration needed.
Tobacco can go stale. Some won't care. Expensive also. Many other things like toilet paper that is cheaper, and everyone uses toilet paper. Not everyone smokes or drinks alcohol.
Additional items for consideration: nails and screws, powdered fruit drinks, pencils and sharpeners, note pads, a magnifying lense, manual can opener, wind up clocks and watches(if you can find them now), coffee for your pantry( I buy one can a month and rotate my stock), bags of salt(cheap and dollar stores)---good for personal use and trade, and bags of tobacco and cigarette papers (good barter items). There may be more, these are just a few that come to mind. Thanks for your informative video.
Awesome...Great additions to the discussion. Thanks for adding those and your thoughts to the community discussion. It's appreciated. Have a great day!
Apple cider vinegar and isopropyl alcohol are great items to have as well. The acv can be used for toothaches, bugbites and minor cuts and scrapes. Mix the acv with the iso alcohol and you can treat ear infections.
Wife and I fermented a couple gallons of cider this fall then turned most of it to vinegar. It doesn't have to be bought from the store. It is a skill to learn and some equipment to have.
@@ThePrepperAlmanac my sil had brain surgery and keeps an emp cap with him always. I'm still looking for a shirt to wear that will protect pacemaker. I may need to have to have it custom made One more suggestion if you include alcohol for trade or bartering maybe be included rolling papers and tobacco. Just like there will always be drinkers there will be always be smokers.
Clothesline and Clothespins, bucket to wash and rinse Your clothes. ..... Camping Shower to hang in a tree, etc. Pull Your hose out from the holder and stretch it out. Make sure you have a sprayer on the end. Turn on Your water, let the hose sit in the sun for a few hours. Then You can spray the warm/hot water in the camping shower, bring it in your home, Hang it on your shower nozzle and enjoy your warm shower. You could also use this warm water to wash and rinse Your clothes, etc.
😂😂😂😂😂when I was young, until I was 9 years old, we only had one cold tap in the kitchen, didn’t even know what a shower was😢😢. I lived in the big town of Rotterdam in the Netherlands, born in 1948. The little ones were washed at home and the 16 years and older went to the bathhouses, available in every neighborhood once a week. I am still alive and very healthy. 😅😅😅😅adapt use your brain, if you have one, and you will survive.
Yep and I did do this other video about harvesting water "How Preppers Can Harvest & Drink Rainwater" ua-cam.com/video/jB5s9XcFYO8/v-deo.html @@jenniferraymond3913
Great list. Most of these things I'm stocked up on, but some I don't. Thanks for the reminders. If a nationwide disaster were to occur, store shelves would be wiped out within hours and that's an unnecessary battle I can easily avoid. As for Barter I'd be careful about that. 99% of the people out there are totally unprepared and have little to nothing to barter with. That makes them dangerous and probably lethal. Except for family, Trust no one!
Sounds like you are prepared! Good to hear! Exactly! Trust nobody if a situation like that occurs. You would definitely have to be careful with whom and where you barter. It could be a set up.
Ham radio, cb radio, faraday bags are also called EMP bags, toilet paper tablets, water purifier tablets, bleach, wood burning stove. Another thing for you to get as well. Have nice day
Thanks for the info. Agreed on all of them. What's funny is I was just looking at this Ham radio on Amazon: amzn.to/3uq4acW Have a good one and thanks for swinging by the channel!
As much as possible. It's a marathon and not a sprint. It will take a awhile to accumulate enough stuff. I try to add a little to my stockpile each month so I don't break the bank.
Thanks for breaking it down. I even have some specific videos on some of these items like "Clever & Innovative Prepper Uses For Baking Soda & Hydrogen Peroxide (Insane Uses)" ua-cam.com/video/yaGpuQiU_xU/v-deo.html I'll be doing more.
Another item to stock is white vinegar. vinegar can be used to clean, boost dish washing or laundry. And you can use it to can foods. I also stock powered laundry detergent that comes in buckets. It will store just about forever. Or they now have laundry sheets. The cost is low, then will store for a very long time and they take up very little space. If you live in an apartment you can store 100s of laundry sheets in a very small space. But you must keep them dry. I would suggest storing them in a zip lock bag or a plastic container.
Heavy duty plastic, 3 mil or better, duct tape, painters tape, all kinds of tape, double sided, handkerchiefs, N95 masks, rope and chain, and caribener clips, carpet cutting knives....
If someone wants to get really serious about prepping, I would recommend a freeze dryer for foods. You can freeze dry any fresh or prepared meals (think tomatoes or soups/stews), and can be stored in ziplock or mason jars for 25 years. Freeze dried foods taste as good as fresh made once you add water and heat it up AND it retains a very high percentage of the vitamins and minerals (much more than dehydrated foods). These machines are expensive though, so maybe buy one and share it’s use with family, friends and neighbours - you could all pitch in or you can rent out it’s time to help pay for it. I don’t have one yet, but I really do want one!
Wow, great points everywhere. I appreciate you taking the time and breaking this out. I'm thankful. And thanks for stopping by the channel today. Cheers!
Vaseline is excellent for making suppplies to start a fire. You can make flood-proof matches by dipping wood matches in melted candle wax and storing in sealable jars.
Great point! I even did a separate video on the uses of Vaseline titled "31 Crafty Prepper Uses for Vaseline" ua-cam.com/video/DDvMM6CBEO0/v-deo.html Check it out if you have time and let me know of the uses outlined.
Basic car maintenance items like oil, oil filters, air filters, fan belts etc. These items might be hard to find especially if there are supply chain problems.
Store honey, it has many uses including antibacterial wound care; its edible and very good for you, and it never expires. Seeds, ammo, at least a rifle or a pistol or two, and lots of freeze dried food. Water filter system that can be cleaned
I would want to have a big supply of dried beans,rice,lard and flour.Possible some smoked and salt cured ham and jerky and nuts 🥜.A chainsaw, bow saw, salt and sugar and lots of spices.A cast net and some heavy fishing line and hooks for a trout line.Plenty of buckets with lids that seal and food and Petro safe containers.Lots and lots of coffee and tea A few chickens and a Mule possibly some sheep 🐑 Just Kidding Maybe 🤔
All awesome additions. Thanks for adding those to the discussion. I was just talking to a buddy of mine about a magnifying glass the other day. We were going to add an app to our phones, but in a true SHTF scenario, you definitely need a real one around.
Very true and would be very smart. You may not be able to access the internet. I've been accumulating books myself. I admittedly need more though. I've check out a bunch of these books on Amazon: amzn.to/42M2jMd
Anyone who has a baby should automatically get a dozen cloth diapers. You may have to wash them but they will last alot longer than disposable one time use diapers. And you won't have to worry about trash build up.
@@ThePrepperAlmanac the can also be multipurpose. Because of how thick they are they make a great addition to your med kit for bleeding as well as padding for bone breaks ( padding on the inside of a cast) as well as just a great rag. Could use them for female monthly flows as well.
Get a wind up radio and wind up flashlights. Reserve batteries for other necessary devices. Stockpile carbolic soap, cloths and scrubbing brushes. Cleaning with hot soapy water and then wiping dry is good for most domestic hygiene needs.
I started stocking up 2 years ago. I have enough food, medication, and water purification supplies to last my husband and I 6 months. I’m stocked on seeds, tools, heat supplies, and extra stuff to barter including coffee, tea, rice, flour, sugar, alcohol, first aid supplies and extra medication. I have a stash of cash just in case and my motor home is ready to bug out at all times. I keep 3 months of dog food in the house now at any given time. My husband thought I was crazy spending huge money but he now can see this is important. I tell my children to do the same but out of five kids only one is a ready to survive in the woods if need be. My next big purchase will be a crossbow and I will practice my shot. I have fishing gear, a rubber boat and a riffle. We have a meeting place should we be separated both locally and out of town. I will not have to rely on anyone for my survival but myself and my husband.
Thank you! I'm a small channel, just getting going. So I appreciate the feedback. I try to be informative without going on and on and on. Thanks for stopping by! Cheers!
The highways may be filled with disabled cars, so get a flexible siphon hose. Also, know how to dig, build and maintain a family outhouse for direct use and a place to dump your nighttime chamber pots (and a bag of lime to keep the odor and flies under control). Today, get some charcoal and store it in plastic zip lock freezer bags to keep the brickettes dry (burn charcoal out-of-doors only). Dutch oven with a cooking lid. Large water storage containers. Also, learn how to quickly build and use a smokehouse for all the meat in your freezer. Learn how to make good gravy to be used over starchy foods so things like potatoes, noodles, squash, etc., tastes acceptable. Thanks for posting. It's always good to review and recycle your supplies while things are stable.
There will be a lot of outhouses and dumping of sewage. One of the important things is to locate a "village well" away from those places. Until this is done the diseases will spread like wildfire. And the village well has to be protected from wild animals and thugs.
So true...especially if you look historically on what took down some civilizations in the distant past. We have history that tells us, we need to properly take care of the sewage! @@phild8095
@@phild8095Many communities where I live in Utah have their own power plants run on natural gas. They also have emergency generators which are also natural gas powered, so in the event of an EMP or terrorist local strike, it may be a surprisingly short time before local power is restored. Essential local power needs would likely be limited to gas, water, hospitals and sewer plants if restored power were limited. But, you are absolutely correct in mentioning the rapid spread of disease if human waste is not handled properly. I would assume these smaller natural gas generators have been "hardened" as much as is practically possible since there has been so much talk of EMP's and terrorists targeting infrastructure. Our local sewer plant also has its own natural gas generator and I have seen natural gas generators located in fenced-in gas pumping stations along the highways. Many of my neighbors also have their own generators, but I'm sure few have any type of EMP protection. I like the Costco and Ace Hardware generators that run on three different fuel options. They're a bit pricy but within reason.
I have everything on this list in spades plus a 220 watt solar "blanket" to charge my BLUETTI Li Fe Po "solar" battery. As well I have a lot of survival skills as a hunter, backpacker, sea kayaker, ski patroller/EMT, winter back country camper.

Hi from UK - thank you for these ideas but would need to add in our animal friends - tins of food or dried food for dogs (although dogs can be vegetarian if necessary) - for cats tinned or dried food (but important to note that cats must have the amino acid Taurine to survive which can be bought as a powder to add to veg food if no meat or fish is available - I am at present unsure of the quantity of Taurine for each meal - a veterinarian would know. Also litter, brushes, medication for all of our animals etc.
It's a bit pricy but if you can afford it a solar generator with solar panels. Don't forget to wrap it up 3 times in aluminum foil and HVAC tape to protect it from an EMP.
Smart. I do have solar panels, but not a solar generator. I have a regular generator that needs gas. I'll have to research the EMP aspect and wrapping it. Thank you for that.
Good point! I did this video too. Maybe if it's homemade it can last longer. "How a Prepper can make homemade Neosporin like medicine for those inevitable cuts & scrapes" ua-cam.com/video/6h9qSqA8hHo/v-deo.html @@SM-JIL
@@SM-JIL Actually they hold potency for many years. There’s plenty of research stating this. The government stockpiles many varieties of antibiotics for many years. If stored correctly they will be good and far better than none up to 15 years and beyond. How Long Are Antibiotics Good For Once Expired? According to the FDA, in order to stay prepared for public health emergencies, governments and even some private sector partners may stockpile medical countermeasures (MCMs). Of course, expiration dates posed a major issue for stockpiled medications. Replacing these drugs would be extremely costly. In light of this issue, the FDA conducted further testing. They recognized that “certain products remain stable beyond their labelled expiration dates when properly stored.”2 That’s where the Shelf Life Extension Program (SLEP) comes into play. Administered by the US Department of Defense, SLEP was established in 1986. Its purpose is to extend the expiration date of select medical products after they go through periodic stability testing. A study by the FDA revealed that “90% of more than 100 drugs, both prescription and over-the-counter, were perfectly good to use even 15 years after the expiration date
Agreed. And if they go the condom route, I happened to do this video too "18 Alternate Ways For a Prepper To Use A Condom In A Survival Situation" ua-cam.com/video/gy7Y0aDTT7k/v-deo.html
I would buy 20 pound bags of cat litter, for covering defacation smell and stopping odors and disease. What to do with the mess your own body makes is life saving knowledge
Pet food and supplies. I like rechargeable flashlights and lighters, no batteries required :), Iv had a combo flashlight/lighter for 2 years now, daily use, and it keeps on going. And stocking up on cheap alcohol is also a good fuel source for a fire. And as a disinfectant, only to clean dirt from the surrounding area of a wound. Alcohol of any kind should never be used on an open wound.
Definitely don't forget pet food. They are part of the family. And yes also definitely a manual can opener. I do have a 3 pack of eyeglasses from Costco. Great additions! Thanks for adding to the discussion. It's appreciated.
Sugarand salt and chocolate powder are great barter supplies. You will need a clean water source, paper for commutation and forever stamps. A clean water source is imperative, people who think they can use a 1 micron filter combined with a charcoal filter to drink out of streams and ditches will be some of the first people who die in a crisis. Streams and ditches can be full of dissolved toxins and you would never know it.
Invest in knowledge before TSHTF: First Aide classes Survival/firestarting techniques Identification of safe/unsafe plants to forage in your area Firearms training Food preservation methods Orienteering Water purification/field sanitation

Make Crisco Candles in clean soup cans. Pack the can with Crisco and put a white tapered candle in middle cut to size of the can. Make fire starters by packing old TP rolls with dryer lint and sealing the ends with wax.
So many are so poor in resourcefulness! Where #10 cans with lids, about a gallon, people used to put bacon drippings in it, which when full they'd make soap. Then use them to store things as little what nots, screws, bolts, etc. Not any more.

Amazing, a great inclusive video that covers such a broad wide range. 🤩 Please, I'd like to see a video on how to prep & survive without Solar panel, sun, Electricity etc if the Power Grid was to ever be shutdown, and the sun not give light, throwing us into the Ice Age Thank you ✨
@@ThePrepperAlmanac And thank you too. I really enjoyed the video, and I'm happy to say I have majority of the list. In regards to the Topic, Yes unfortunately there's several things that point to this becoming a potential of what could happen; 1) The system being hacked and other things could shutdown the Earth's Grid 2) The Earth is overdue for another Ice Age, 3) They said there's a hole in the sun, and this could cause there to be no sun, which means how do we grow crop?? But I've currently got your other video on pause and you spoke about, hand crank usb charger, which means it could connect to the plant grow lights. It's all so interesting 😊 (I knew about the hand crank Radio with the usb on it, but not a specialist one d dedicated for USB only, so that's really cool). 4) Should there ever be a nuclear War, the soot from the smoke could block out the sun These are examples of potentials, so I'd just like to be prepped. I'm thinking of some sort of Ski Glasses 🥽 that helps you see in the dark. Thank you once again, because this video is like all the Top Prepping Videos put in one. 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Definitely vinegar as well. Vinegar's versatility makes it a valuable tool for preppers and anyone facing a disaster scenario. Here are some of its key uses: Food: Preserving food: Vinegar's acidity inhibits bacterial growth, making it ideal for pickling vegetables and eggs, extending their shelf life significantly. Tenderizing meat: Vinegar can tenderize tougher cuts of meat, making them more palatable. Flavoring: Different types of vinegar, like apple cider or balsamic, can add depth and complexity to dishes when fresh ingredients are scarce. Substitute for other acids: In a pinch, vinegar can replace lemon juice or other acidic ingredients in recipes. Cleaning and Sanitation: Disinfecting surfaces: Vinegar acts as a natural disinfectant, effective against various bacteria and viruses. It can be used to clean and disinfect surfaces like countertops, doorknobs, and sinks. Deodorizing: Vinegar's strong scent can neutralize unpleasant odors, including smoke and mildew. Removing stains and rust: Vinegar can help remove tough stains, like coffee or rust, from various surfaces. Other Uses: Repelling insects: Diluted vinegar solution can deter some insects, like ants and flies. Soaking produce: Soaking fruits and vegetables in a vinegar solution can help remove pesticides and extend their shelf life. Curing hiccups: While not a guaranteed remedy, some people find swallowing a spoonful of vinegar helps stop hiccups. Important points to remember: Always dilute vinegar before using it for cleaning or on skin. Different types of vinegar have varying strengths and uses. Choose the appropriate type for the specific task. Vinegar should not be used on all surfaces. Test it on a small inconspicuous area first. While vinegar cannot replace essential supplies, its diverse applications make it a valuable addition to any preparedness kit.

Overall a pretty good list except you forgot the number. One thing you need salt if you manage you get meet or poultry or fish, you need salt to preserve it.
Good point. I should have included it in this list. I have included salt and the necessity of it in other videos that I have done. Thanks for swinging by the channel today. It's appreciated.
Salt is just one way. A more traditional method is to dry the meat in good weather and possibly to smoke it. This goes back thousands of years.

Also if you cannot stock up on paper towels or toilet paper you can use your old cloth who has holes in them to cut up to use Rags when they are been used just throw them into a bucket of water and wash them out then you can reuse them

Just use leaves or rain water to wipe/wash asses
Watch for baby wipes to go on sale
@@j.d.preppingerie6522 Yep, then stock up!
Back in the old days, we only had cloth baby diapers. They were collected by diaper delivery services and returned washed and sanitized. Hot water and bleach (a prepper staple) will take care of your ass wipes.
Make sure you have plenty of Fire Extinguishers on hand, because You are gonna to be your own 1st responder and Fire Department if life things go Sideways.

Glad you mentioned the internet. Everything is on line these days, even retail. Once that goes down, pity help the generation that have never been without it.

Some things you don't barter
If you have pets, don’t forget about their needs.

Pets will become food sooner or later😢
It sucks and I love my pets and will protect them to the end, but unfortunately what you say is proven out historically @@peterkoch3777
So true!

Books on how to cut, clean and prepare wild foods, wild game, fish, herbs for food and medicine, etc. for novices, there will be quite a few that will be clueless on that issue.
So so true! It will be good for yourself and a good barter tool for the novices. Cheers!
Yep and I definitely have a lot of books on prepping and gardening handy just in case I can't access the internet. @@MaryGwenDungan
Agreed. Very smart to have a lot of books, reference manuals on hand. You can probably get a lot of these on Amazon or at a Dollar Store.

Don’t forget ammo. Also, the best type of alcohol to stock up on is liquor. The bigger the proof the better. Like 150 proof! Liquor can be used for 1st aid, cleaning, bartering, vice, and it doesn’t expire!
Lots of great uses for high proof alcohol. Thanks for stopping by the channel! 👍
Raw honey, mustard are great for first aid also
@@j.d.preppingerie6522 Interesting. I didn't know about those from a first aid point of view. Thanks for the tip. I'm definitely going to read up on those use cases. Cheers.

I try to tell people as often as I can that just getting the stuff is what's important. Don't worry about having a specific need for everything. I get stuff weekly that I have yet to use and I don't even care. Just knowing I have it makes me very proud of what I've been able to acquire
So true. I always tell people to plan for the worst and hope for the best. You never know what will happen in the future.
Agree: The cost is similar to what we pay for insurance - which we only need when things go bad. In this case it's actually very cheap insurance.
Very true. Great way to look at it! @@theresaotoole9141
Don’t forget coffee filters. They can be used for hundreds of different uses.
Interesting. I haven't thought of that. I'll need to do a little research on the additional use cases. Cheers! Thanks for stopping by!
I came across these use cases for coffee filters.
Water Filtration:
Impurities: Unbleached coffee filters can be used to filter sediment and larger particles from murky water in emergencies. However, their effectiveness for removing harmful bacteria or chemicals is limited.
Rainwater collection: Place a coffee filter over your collection container's funnel to strain out leaves, debris, and insects. Remember, collected rainwater still needs proper treatment before consumption.
First-Aid:
Wound dressing: In an austere setting, sterile coffee filters can serve as temporary wound dressings to absorb minor bleeding or protect wounds from dirt. Always prioritize professional medical attention.
Strain compresses: Use a coffee filter to strain debris or impurities from water used for wound compresses.
Hygiene:
Improvised feminine hygiene products: Coffee filters, due to their absorbency, can be folded and used as makeshift sanitary pads in emergencies. Prioritize seeking proper hygiene products whenever possible.
Dust masks: In situations with limited dust protection, fold a coffee filter multiple times and secure it around your nose and mouth. This won't filter harmful particles completely but can offer some basic dust protection.
Shelter and Tools:
Insulation: Use unbleached coffee filters as makeshift insulation for makeshift shelters or frost protection for delicate plants.
Fire tinder: Dry, unbleached coffee filters can be easily ignited and used as tinder for starting fires.

Good point!
I live in SoCal(LA Co), where we only think the big one(not big foot) is really the only worry, but this week (2/4-2/6/24, we had nonstop rain. I had 2+hrs of power outage. I used my hand crank radio cuz I did not want to drain my phone battery. Makes me feel for you folks that have real setbacks. My prayers to you. Just feel for the war torn oppressed.

People are overlooking the easy storage, low cost and many uses of whole grains. You can almost live on wheat berries alone. Grains can be use for bread but also for cereals. There are hand mills and electric mills. I suggest have a hand mill is storage just incase you need it. For a few $100 you can store a lot of grain. Yeast is cheap, purchased at Sams, in packages of 2 1lb packages for under $8. All you need to store grain is keep it dry, keep the bugs out and find a place where the temps are kind of even. You do not want a really hot location like a garage in Arizona or out doors is Alaska. The basement of a house is usually a good location or even up stairs in you house. Another food that is being over looked is sprouting greens. You can sprout greens in a mason jar in you kitchen. You can sprout beans or salad sprouts. The advantage of using sprouts is you can sprout them fresh for everyday, very hard for someone to steal your food, very easy for anyone to do even children and handicapped can sprout seeds and they are high in nutrition.
I appreciate this breakdown. It's helpful for me and the community overall. So thank you for adding this knowledge and experience. Speaking of hand mills, I was just looking at this one on Amazon. I might pick one up. amzn.to/498lNgs

Yeah.. but nobody talks about bringing your neighbors and immediate community members together to hold your ground. No matter whether on good terms or not….you are going to need their support and they will be there. As will you for them.
Facts NOBODY is talking about COMMUNITY
Very true. You'll need to come together with select neighbors to maximize your potential.
Yes, thats true, but can you trust them enough to not turn on you though? if the SHTF, it could quickly turn into a dog eats dog world out there, and it will be every man/woman for themselves.
Great video! I love the way you get straight to the point without droning on for several minutes for each topic. The only thing I would add is cash: have at least $100-$500 in small bills, mostly ones, some fives and maybe a few tens; any larger denominations are unnecessary. At least in the early stages of a crisis, cash will still be king. And you won't have to worry if the ATM or credit card reader is down! Thanks and keep the videos coming! :)

Bleach goes bad with age. Get dry chlorine for pools and spas.
Baby wipes or single use antibacterial wipes can be used to bathe instead of water. I have done it camping. Can also be used as toilet paper.
Emergency toilet. 5 gallon buckets work with wood shavings or cat liter. Get a bunch with lids. Store outside for a month and it will make fertilizer.
Solar yard lights can be charged outside and brought in at night.
A tent can be set up inside a house to limit heating area in winter.
You can make a tea candle heater out of a soda can that will warm a small area like a small tent or under a poncho.
Mylar emergency poncho will trap heat. Large heavy duty Mylar blankets.
The single shot alcohol bottles are good for barter. Bringing out 750ml is not a good idea.
Fire blankets along with the mentioned fire extinguisher.

Great list. Most of these things I'm stocked up on, but some I don't. Thanks for the reminders.

Screw the candles ..... Get l e d camp lights that use so little power and give you a lot of lightfor inside your house
but candles double as a small heat source as well
Try keeping your hands warm with a led camp light. Then tell us about your supply of batteries and how to charge rechargeable ones.
Another item to stock is white vinegar. vinegar can be used to clean, boost dish washing or laundry. And you can use it to can foods. I also stock powered laundry detergent that comes in buckets. It will store just about forever. Or they now have laundry sheets. The cost is low, then will store for a very long time and they take up very little space. If you live in an apartment you can store 100s of laundry sheets in a very small space. But you must keep them dry. I would suggest storing them in a zip lock bag or a plastic container.
Good to know that about vinegar. I appreciate your input as always. Have a great day and thanks for stopping by the channel.
Good tips. I have some bars of laundry detergent that I got from the $ store. Dollar stores have lots of useful stuff

I’m prepping as much as I can but if the shit hits the fan big time I’d rather be dead ,good luck we are gonna need it..
Good luck to all of us. I plan for the worst and hope for the best.
If someone wants to get really serious about prepping, I would recommend a freeze dryer for foods. You can freeze dry any fresh or prepared meals (think tomatoes or soups/stews), and can be stored in ziplock or mason jars for 25 years. Freeze dried foods taste as good as fresh made once you add water and heat it up AND it retains a very high percentage of the vitamins and minerals (much more than dehydrated foods). These machines are expensive though, so maybe buy one and share it’s use with family, friends and neighbours - you could all pitch in or you can rent out it’s time to help pay for it. I don’t have one yet, but I really do want one!

I started stocking up 2 years ago. I have enough food, medication, and water purification supplies to last my husband and I 6 months. I’m stocked on seeds, tools, heat supplies, and extra stuff to barter including coffee, tea, rice, flour, sugar, alcohol, first aid supplies and extra medication. I have a stash of cash just in case and my motor home is ready to bug out at all times. I keep 3 months of dog food in the house now at any given time. My husband thought I was crazy spending huge money but he now can see this is important. I tell my children to do the same but out of five kids only one is a ready to survive in the woods if need be. My next big purchase will be a crossbow and I will practice my shot. I have fishing gear, a rubber boat and a riffle. We have a meeting place should we be separated both locally and out of town. I will not have to rely on anyone for my survival but myself and my husband.
Very smart to stock up like that. And you definitely have an awesome additional plan to expand your skills. That is awesome. Congrats!

The highways may be filled with disabled cars, so get a flexible siphon hose. Also, know how to dig, build and maintain a family outhouse for direct use and a place to dump your nighttime chamber pots (and a bag of lime to keep the odor and flies under control). Today, get some charcoal and store it in plastic zip lock freezer bags to keep the brickettes dry (burn charcoal out-of-doors only). Dutch oven with a cooking lid. Large water storage containers. Also, learn how to quickly build and use a smokehouse for all the meat in your freezer. Learn how to make good gravy to be used over starchy foods so things like potatoes, noodles, squash, etc., tastes acceptable.
Thanks for posting. It's always good to review and recycle your supplies while things are stable.
Thanks for the additional information. It's appreciated and great info. Thanks for stopping by. Cheers!
There will be a lot of outhouses and dumping of sewage. One of the important things is to locate a "village well" away from those places. Until this is done the diseases will spread like wildfire. And the village well has to be protected from wild animals and thugs.
So true...especially if you look historically on what took down some civilizations in the distant past. We have history that tells us, we need to properly take care of the sewage! @@phild8095
@@phild8095Many communities where I live in Utah have their own power plants run on natural gas. They also have emergency generators which are also natural gas powered, so in the event of an EMP or terrorist local strike, it may be a surprisingly short time before local power is restored. Essential local power needs would likely be limited to gas, water, hospitals and sewer plants if restored power were limited. But, you are absolutely correct in mentioning the rapid spread of disease if human waste is not handled properly. I would assume these smaller natural gas generators have been "hardened" as much as is practically possible since there has been so much talk of EMP's and terrorists targeting infrastructure. Our local sewer plant also has its own natural gas generator and I have seen natural gas generators located in fenced-in gas pumping stations along the highways. Many of my neighbors also have their own generators, but I'm sure few have any type of EMP protection. I like the Costco and Ace Hardware generators that run on three different fuel options. They're a bit pricy but within reason.
All dutch ovens have a lid, but I've never heard them referred to as cooking lids.
I have everything on this list in spades plus a 220 watt solar "blanket" to charge my BLUETTI Li Fe Po "solar" battery. As well I have a lot of survival skills as a hunter, backpacker, sea kayaker, ski patroller/EMT, winter back country camper.

Actually they hold potency for many years. There’s plenty of research stating this. The government stockpiles many varieties of antibiotics for many years. If stored correctly they will be good and far better than none up to 15 years and beyond.
How Long Are Antibiotics Good For Once Expired?
According to the FDA, in order to stay prepared for public health emergencies, governments and even some private sector partners may stockpile medical countermeasures (MCMs). Of course, expiration dates posed a major issue for stockpiled medications. Replacing these drugs would be extremely costly. In light of this issue, the FDA conducted further testing. They recognized that “certain products remain stable beyond their labelled expiration dates when properly stored.”2 That’s where the Shelf Life Extension Program (SLEP) comes into play. Administered by the US Department of Defense, SLEP was established in 1986. Its purpose is to extend the expiration date of select medical products after they go through periodic stability testing. A study by the FDA revealed that “90% of more than 100 drugs, both prescription and over-the-counter, were perfectly good to use even 15 years after the expiration date
@@SM-JIL they stay good for many many years. Still hold high potency at 15 years when stored properly.

Sugarand salt and chocolate powder are great barter supplies. You will need a clean water source, paper for commutation and forever stamps.

@@ThePrepperAlmanac And thank you too. I really enjoyed the video, and I'm happy to say I have majority of the list.
In regards to the Topic,
Yes unfortunately there's several things that point to this becoming a potential of what could happen;
1)
The system being hacked and other things could shutdown the Earth's Grid
2)
The Earth is overdue for another Ice Age,
3)
They said there's a hole in the sun, and this could cause there to be no sun, which means how do we grow crop??
But I've currently got your other video on pause and you spoke about, hand crank usb charger, which means it could connect to the plant grow lights.
It's all so interesting 😊
(I knew about the hand crank Radio with the usb on it, but not a specialist one d dedicated for USB only, so that's really cool).
4)
Should there ever be a nuclear War, the soot from the smoke could block out the sun
These are examples of potentials, so I'd just like to be prepped.
I'm thinking of some sort of Ski Glasses 🥽 that helps you see in the dark.

If bleach has such a short shelf life how about vinegar?
Definitely vinegar as well.
Vinegar's versatility makes it a valuable tool for preppers and anyone facing a disaster scenario. Here are some of its key uses:
Food:
Preserving food: Vinegar's acidity inhibits bacterial growth, making it ideal for pickling vegetables and eggs, extending their shelf life significantly.
Tenderizing meat: Vinegar can tenderize tougher cuts of meat, making them more palatable.
Flavoring: Different types of vinegar, like apple cider or balsamic, can add depth and complexity to dishes when fresh ingredients are scarce.
Substitute for other acids: In a pinch, vinegar can replace lemon juice or other acidic ingredients in recipes.
Cleaning and Sanitation:
Disinfecting surfaces: Vinegar acts as a natural disinfectant, effective against various bacteria and viruses. It can be used to clean and disinfect surfaces like countertops, doorknobs, and sinks.
Deodorizing: Vinegar's strong scent can neutralize unpleasant odors, including smoke and mildew.
Removing stains and rust: Vinegar can help remove tough stains, like coffee or rust, from various surfaces.
Other Uses:
Repelling insects: Diluted vinegar solution can deter some insects, like ants and flies.
Soaking produce: Soaking fruits and vegetables in a vinegar solution can help remove pesticides and extend their shelf life.
Curing hiccups: While not a guaranteed remedy, some people find swallowing a spoonful of vinegar helps stop hiccups.
Important points to remember:
Always dilute vinegar before using it for cleaning or on skin.
Different types of vinegar have varying strengths and uses. Choose the appropriate type for the specific task.
Vinegar should not be used on all surfaces. Test it on a small inconspicuous area first.
While vinegar cannot replace essential supplies, its diverse applications make it a valuable addition to any preparedness kit.
How about essential oils? Specially tea tree oil. It is an antiseptic and bug repellent.
Absolutely. Thanks a great idea and thanks for the input. Cheers!
