- "When the time for action arrives, the time for preparation has ended."
It is time, close to past time, to get prepared with food storage, fuel, battery backup, shelter, finances and other necessities.
Set up your All American Sun Oven in front of a sunny window (indoors) & leave the oven door open. I also use it to heat up blankets & sweatshirts.
Stay creative. 🔥
Gosh that brings back memories! The winters of 1976-77 &. 1977-78 here in Louisville KY! We had at least a month solid of near zero or below temps! It froze the Ohio River 5-8 inches deep! Unheard of for us in this area. To make matters worse, it happened two winters in a row! '76-77 Boy did we burn through the wood, we had a well insulated home too. Dad had just gotten the New spray foam inside all the walls. It hadn't been on the market long. That helped a ton, but we still used up 2 cords of wood. Plus we had a oil furnace. My dad had got a good deal on the wood and figured we'd use a cord and have a cord for the next year, kinda be ahead.... But we used it all. From there on out we kept 3 cords, used up the older and just rolled over the rest. Those years that it wasn't too cold, we saved a ton on fuel oil and just burned the stove. In 1967-68 we had an ice storm and knocked out our power for 2weeks. At that time all we had was the fireplace and we nearly froze to death. We moved the couch all the way up to the hearth to stay warm. My dad was constantly splitting more wood, but all the heat went up the chimney. He wound up with pneumonia and the ambulance couldn't get to us. So our family Dr called in a prescription and my neighbor was a pharmacist and owned his own little pharmacy. He hiked all the way to his store to get my Dad the medicine and brought it to us. I saw my Mom praying and talking to him trying to keep him alive, his fever got to 105. He was talking out of his head so much, I cried. I kept trying to bring in wood, but I was only about 6. All the logs were too big. I got the small stuff and sticks. Mom tried to split some but it was hard for her. When the pharmacist saw our situation, he went and chopped up some for us and brought it in, after walking all that way. He sent his 2 teenage sons the next day and they got alot of it chopped up and brought into the house and in the garage. When my Dad woke up 4 days later, he had no idea what had happened. He was so shook to see me and Mom crying and afraid, He said that he would fix this right away and about a month later he found a good wood stove and put it in. Then over the next few years he added to the insulation everywhere and eventually got the "Insul-spray" (the name on the side of the truck). They said it would make the money back in 15 years. Well, it only took ten till the sub-zero hit. That's when Dad said that it was worth every penny. He also got a second window pane put overtop of the big picture window. He made certain that the wood was chopped and stacked up. Not just the big logs in the yard. Evey time they said "snow" he moved the car out of the garage and loaded it up with the wood. He would say, he learned a lesson the hard way and wasn't gonna make that mistake again.
I learned to be prepared at a very early age.... I Praise God for that time seeing the hardness of it all and then seeing my Daddy work hard to protect and keep us warm. Been a prepper ever since!! Thank you for all your help and showing people what to do. God Bless you 🙏
Wow! I understand how that could powerfully impact your desire to be prepared.
Thx for showing fails, just like food/garden need two seasons worth.
Winter heat is a huge concern for me! I need to up my game to two years worth.
If you start the year with 2-years of supplies, at the end of the year you still have 1-year of supplies. That is a strong position to be in. Good for you.
I was raised in south east Kentucky and a railroad tracks was right across the street from our farm.
Us kids were always sent coal picking the tracks with 5 gallon metal buckets for what fell off the train passing. We never had to buy or cut wood even though plenty was around.
There was always plenty to forage.
Occasionally a truck would tip over or go down a mountain side and we would pick that up as well. They didn't even clean it up back then.
They knew society would.
Coal burns super hot for a long time too.
Burns much longer and hotter then wood dose.
What great memories. It's nice to get it at no cost. Having preps on hand could be invaluable in the future.
My parents grew up during the depression and my mother and her siblings also collected coal that fell off the train. Hard times build strength of character.
When the wood crib is full, I always feel 'wealthy'.
Amen!
I wish that my husband would take this seriously. I have consistently been prepping, but its bad when I'm prepping, and my husband mishandles them. Please say a prayer for my family and I if you are reading this. I will continue to pray for the host and viewers. God bless you all. We all will survive what's to come,it has been written.❤
Trying to prepare for what the Bible tells us is coming is hard enough. Not being equally yoked in the task with your spouse makes it that much harder. Many are in your situation. The day will come when he will thank you for your foresight and action. My prayers are with you.
Praying Ma’am.
You are not alone Theodora. My husband also does not see what is coming, he sees inflation but doesn't think those in charge will allow it to "get that bad" because he thinks they still care about getting our votes. I've prepped since 2020 and have prayed for his eyes to be opened ever since. I homeschool our two daughters and even they are interested in preparedness. One thing I have done is to work hard on gaining skills not just food, but also getting things for as cheap as possible from food banks and restaurant supply.
I will pray for you and your family!! I would very much appreciated your prayers as well. My husband name is Jeff.
Maybe... Build up your storage at a relative's house?
@juliabrown5948 Thank you, and most definitely. I will pray for you and your family! Julia, God is increasing you. As I prayed for you, I saw an old blue car, your transportation is soon to turn around for your good. Lastly, the Holy Spirit is revealing to me that you have been parked too long. God has given you many spiritual gifts, the spirit of our Abba Father says, go forward with the ministry that he has laid upon your heart, full force. He says you must remember he is your Emanuel. In Jesus-Yeshua, the Christ name. Heart ❤️🤍 💙
Up here in ND we have watched cold temps go south and east of us this year. That's huge for our next year's preps!
Sounds like someone is getting a cold winter. It's been very mild here, and I still ran out of wood.
Always have an extra years supply of wood on hand...same goes for food...clothes (especially for children) and all the other essentials necessary for life.
Excellent! There is much peace and comfort in that. Many decades ago as a young husband and father there were several months that we ate from our food storage when I was unemployed. What a blessing!
Don't store the wood all in one pile. And never that close to the house.
@@tuvoca825 Guilty as charged. I only showed one of my three piles of wood, stored 125 feet from my house.
Good reminder of why we should test our preps from time to time.
Eat off of our food storage for a month, use our backup power for a time, and practice family and community communications to know where we are strong and where we need to improve.
Thanks for the reminder.
An excellent idea. When my wife was out of town for a week I did just that. I found a lot of areas that I needed improvements. It wasn't easy but I'm glad I did it.
Good advice
Thanks for the reminder. We must always be busy bees!
A reminder now could save a lot of pain in the future. Thanks for watching and commenting.
A message we all need to hear, we all can do better and learn from others. Thanks for sharing.
You're the reason I got my Berkey many many moons ago, over a decade ago I watched all your water videos, including the feeding 5 year old water from a 55 gallon drum to your kids 😂...I'm not a prepper anymore, I'm a homesteader, prepping has you dependent on the grid. Resupply doesn't exist in a bad SHTF, Today I'm 100% on renewable rain water.
Nice! Thank you for viewing and commenting.
Thank you David. The future is uncertain nowadays.
Thank you for watching and commenting. I think the future is pretty certain. That is why I prep and share.
This hit home with me, thank you, Sir.
Thank you. It is time to check our priorities and our preps.
@@LDSPrepper I agree with you. It is nice to be reminded so thank you.
I had to buy pre split wood thisbyear as i was too busy in the summer to get ready. As a rwsult the delivered wood isnt seasoned and burns poorly. And is close to twice the cost. Lesson learnt. Id say i had 3 or 4 cords of seasoned wood left ive been mixing in withe the green. I have a cord left. . . But ive just been blessed to go and get some 200 year old roof beams. Oak! Dry as a bone. Probably two cords worth. So hopefully we will be ok.
Food storage is at about 4 to 5 months worth. Im just stocking up on lentils, garbanzos and rice to put away long term.
Wow, you are truly blessed with the oak wood. lentils, garbanzos and rice are food staples.
Yes. The oak is a great result.
I just put 30kg of rice etc in a tub under the stairs to forget about. Will do another tub next month.
My food storage offset the increased price over the last year. Since prices are still rising im restocking before they go any higher.
@@spr00sem00se Good for you. Keep ahead of inflation. Food will be the ultimate currency.
we are all human & make mistakes from time to time!!! important thing is we learn a lesson from it!!! thanks for sharing this learning lesson with us!!!
My entire goal for this channel is to help people get prepared for what is coming. I'm willing to show my wins and losses to help others.
Good report, bub! At least you got your Mormon buddies to help you.
Out here the neighbors may want to kill their neighbors and eat them.
There is probably a higher percentage of prepared people here than in most other US states. The spirit spoke and we moved here. We are glad we did.
Spot on the dot brother.
It wasn’t even cold this year either….
Exactly. I'm checking my stove. Better to do it now than later.
Thanks for sharing. Important for each of to learn from our mistakes.
Thank you David! This is a lesson learned for me; it just takes a few colder than normal days per month to eat up that wood.
Absolutely! I'm going to store more wood in the future.
David, may I play this for my Relief Society sisters at our meeting after church next week?
Absolutely! I don't know why, but I feel a real urgency to get better prepared physically and spiritually.
@@LDSPrepper i have that same exact feeling since new years!!!!
Thank you.
You are very welcome
I've been stressing over the fact that we live in a house with no fireplace or woodstove. I don't worry so much about my food storage. I'm constantly adding to that. But what will we do to stay warm if the power goes out? We do have a few propane heaters.
Propane heaters, electric ones, extra blankets, electric blankets. Concentrate heat in one room or section of the house. Tent inside. Etc
Yes, those 2 things are so needful.
Absolutely, Thanks for commenting.
It hasn't been that cold this year.
Right! I still ran out of wood. But, I can restock, at TWICE the price.
Hey David, I followed you back before 6/2017 when I was gardening (MGM), b4 I moved to the city… just lost touch, you’ve popped up for a reason. Thanks for this reminder…you can sense something is on the near horizon. You can feel the globalist’s diabolical energy…Thank you!!!
Albert Einstein said, “A coincidence is a small miracle when God chooses to remain anonymous.”
Really looking to place a GMRS base station at my house. Was wondering if you could help me.
Absolutely, please call me. My contact info is at LDSPrepperStore.com I look forward to your call.
Maybe the wood wasnt seasoned as well or maybe your gaskets need to be replaced on your stove? (If you burned way more than expected)
Thank you for the suggestions. I did notice a gap in the gasket. I'll take care of that.
I'm surprised that you don't have another year's worth on hand. Pretty critical.
Actually, I do. I only showed one of my three piles. But, the impact of seeing an empty wood stack still had an impact on how prepared or not prepared I am. I thought it was a good lesson that I would share.
Good to hear. I wouldn't think that you'd get caught short.
Agree
This is why I don't like the climate too cold and long in winter or too hot and long in winter. I like it moderate. I call this the Prepper's Climate... Food is also easier to grow in a mild climate.
Very true. The harsher climates do limit the number of people who want to live there and it changes what kind of people live there. I didn't want to move to Idaho because it is so cold. But I've learned that when the spirit moves me it is to my advantage to take action. So we moved to Idaho.
Please tell us what is coming.
John the beloved has told us in the book of Revelations in the Bible what to expect. That is where I would look. In a nutshell Christians will be persecuted, there will be floods, plaques, famine, wars and much more. If ye are prepared, ye shall not fear. Ask God and he will direct you in what you need to do.
Here in UK our homes are very small. Most only have a small garden. Any suggestions?
I would watch this video: ua-cam.com/users/liveexUtPUZFDRk
I have gone to Army Surplus and bought MREs!!!
That is a good start for ready made meals. A much more affordable solution is to make your own with rice and fruit or rice and canned chicken.
Welcome to the desert of the real.
Right!
Dude how did that happen? You can literally see how many cords you have because your storage area is built using 4x4 pallets. Don't you hate it when you make a gaff like that. :)
Last year I used this much and about 1/2 cord more. For some unknown reason we went through the wood significantly faster this year. I will be building in a buffer in the future.
@@LDSPrepper Have you checked your stove? Maybe the flu? It seems odd, unless it was WAY colder on average.
You need a rocket mass heater.
Those are amazing!
