But for rice, beans, etc, you need water and some sort of heat to cook them. I’m sticking to canned/tinned food which you can eat cold. Soups with protein and veg also provide fluids which you need. And mixed chopped fruit in syrup.
Thats great temporarily until you find a good water source. You’ll need to store in bulk and will need too grow fresh the following year. Beans will grow beans .
@@phoenixfireclusterbombI save peas and beans to grow again. And sweet potato slips, water melon seeds… heck, I’ve got all kinds of squash growing out of my compost !
I'm a retired architect and have been involved in the forefront of designing solar systems since the mid 70's. They are great, BUT, they are NOT the magical solution. Don't believe that just because you have solar that you're golden. You're not. Lots of things can go wrong. Here in the south where I am, a thunderstorm (which we have a lot of) can often come with hail. Hail will destroy solar panels and their efficiency. You need to have a multi-layered approach to energy. Bottom line...wood may be your best supply of energy when things get really tough.
I learned the hard way the last storm we had we had no sun. Solar in my humble opinion is great but a back up source for energy is a must. Thank you for sharing with us.
Modern man and electricity, (holding back laughter) the Amish do very well. I’m sure the fall of South American monolithic structures died out because they lost electricity. Knowing why civilizations fall even though they accomplished astounding things will keep others from making the same mistakes.
@@ipeteagles some are and some aren't. Do your homework. Don't make blanket statements. Any Architect or Engineer worth their salt will tell you the same.
Every time my parents had home health care or hospice, there were always lots of supplies delivered. I have saved lots of them. If you know someone who is on hospice, their loved ones might not want to save everything once the patient passes. There are tons of bandages, cleansers, etc that get thrown away.
Need to aerate the water with solar pumps and fountains. I don't know how it was done, but using the same hose for pool water to flow into and then out the other raised end to fall right back into the pool. No solar needed?
There are 2 things that I have that no one seems to be mentioning. 1) a barometer: if you cannot get you local weather forcast, a falling barometric pressure is the only you will know that bad weather is approaching. That gives you time to get into your home / get your rain catchment items in place. 2) A mechanical timer: if we are going to be grinding wheat into flour to make bread how are you going to know when to remove it from a brick oven?
I would add clothing and supplies for all weather challenges - heat, cold, rain, sun, snow, ice. Sturdy shoes and boots, woolen socks, gloves, hats, mosquito netting, shovels, so much else. Thanks Eric and fam. 🙏❤️
Don't forget that if you have kids, they will grow, so try to anticipate future clothing, coat, speakers and boot sizes. If you live in an area that tends to flood, invest in enough aluminum rowboat or kayaks so you can get out of a flooded area. Personally, I like to have 2 empty aluminum boats, to tow behind the one you are rowing. You can store extra shoes, clothing, food items, fresh water, food, pet food and supplies, plus candles and solar lights and lanterns, personal hygiene items as well as a toilet seat placed upon a home depot bucket, with a tight fitting lid, to suffice as a makeshift bathroom. Take lots of plastic bags with you, as well as Clorox bleach, lots of toilet paper. I would have life preserver vests for all family members, including for your pet dogs and cats. You could even take bedding in plastic bags or even a small, collapsible, plastic table and some folding chairs, cast iron cookware, an axe with a good sharpener, and flashlights and batteries, or camping lanterns. Bring all important papers with you as well. Mine are in a heavy duty plastic box, which had a sturdy, tight cover.
Hi there. I live in Canada and you often suggest saving medications and antibiotics. Where I live in Alberta, the govt will only provide a 3 month supply of any medication you must take. Doctor gives you a one year prescription, but you go to pharmacy every 3 months. Makes it difficult to stock up as you never get extra.
Jase is a good option for some prescription medications, although it's all out of pocket. I was very surprised we Canadians were allowed to buy from them.
Some items to buy weekly from your local dollar store that don't expire: -coffee filters (for water filtration) -bars of soap -candles -matches -marbles for your slingshots -Random fishing tackle and gear -random tools and related items(they always adding new stuff) - tin foil - garbage bags, cleaning supplies, ECT. -rope Items to looks for at yard sales for dirt cheap: -Tools -camping/survival gear -cast iron pots and pans -fishing/traps -lubrications,oils,grease, ECT -nuts, bolts, and other hardware -vintage cooking utensils that are powerless, -the old school laundry wash boards -rope -knives -candles and lanterns Just a few ideas I'm always scouting for.
Living in rural Mississippi water here is no problem in this area due to all of the underground springs that never dry up. Two things you might want to add to your preps are a few 5 gallon buckets of instant mashed potatoes and a few 5 gallon buckets of powdered milk.
For people worried about water for rice and beans, there is a solution. Beans in cans and pre-cooked rice in pouches. It's not as economical as buying dried beans and rice, but it is an option. Thank you, GP!
.. Definitely good items for short term problems, and will easily get used up in stock rotation.. I get in some of the flavoured rice pouches for days when I feel too rough to cook..
I'm a big proponent of canned food. University studies have shown that, when properly stored, canned food will remain safe to eat for at least 20 years.
Make sure the salt for electrolytes is Himalayan or Celtic salt. I find an easy way to do a cheap (mine is sugar free) electrolyte drink mix sachet. a water flavor pack, a pinch of salt and a pinch of baking soda. Tiny pinches...the baking soda neutralizes some of the citric acid that can upset a tummy. Don't forget a magnesium supplement/day a low one. This will cut down on muscle cramping due to sweat loss. If you do use sugar, they have saved lives in Africa from dehydrating diarrhea attacks with a quart of water, a handful of sugar, and a pinch of salt.
This is the hard truth, in it's most basic form. Food and water, Shelter, Portable/ emergency power, Medical items/ medicines, and Self Defense capabilities will enable you to withstand most of what can occur in a natural or man made disaster. Don't panic, take action. None of us are born ready, we all had to start somewhere.
You can buy old school blood pressure machines which don't need batteries. Just takes a few practice attempts to learn how to listen for the heartbeats changing. Also, battery operated machines are very inaccurate unless you buy a more expensive named brand like Bauer. Old school machines, including a model that you can use on yourself costs between 30 and 50 bucks.
Patriot Supply is one of the best places for freezed dried food for sure. I have two years of that alone with everything else. But prepping is a life style.
Add a good sharp knife, a space blanket, candles, a few lighters, a pot to boil water in and cook your food, fishing line, hooks and some red yarn for a fake bait, a saw and/or hand axe, a folding camp shovel, some sort of pistol and/or rifle with ammo, a few snares, para-cord and a change of good camo clothes; just to mention a few things. You can create a water filter system with sand from a creek, charcoal from your fire pit and a couple empty water bottles.
Amazon has Knorr chicken bouillon for 12.00 for 75 gallons worth. Huge container. I broke it down into 1/2 cup vacuum sealed bags with an oxygen absorber. Food will last longer and can now be bartered like currency. I do it with everything….

Don't forget about clothing and footwear for growing children. Educational books and workbooks in case schools close. This one sounds silly but smaller underwear, pants, skirts, etc... for adults that will be losing weight. Check those yard sales and thrift shops now for everything above, except the underwear, purchase that new.

I have been enjoying your videos. I am somewhat of a prepped and am able to stockpile some things. I order prepped stuff for my kids and grand kids to give them as gifts. What doo you think about using an old microwave as a faraday cage? Would it work to store cell phones, tablets, etc?
I agree with everything you say and as far as self defence, At my age, I will depend on my aim. I have a whole house generator and I know that if it runs constantly for over 2 weeks I will need a refill of propane , so I have solar panels that are portable and a Patriot generator for running just essentials such as a C-Pap and some lights . I stock pile charcoal because I can cook a lot on my grills. Stay safe and God Bless America.
Can you spell the name of that self-defense class that you teach? I had never heard of it, before hearing you talk about it. Thank you. I appreciate your channel.
Good luck on trying to stockpile prescription meds. They are monitored to the extreme. We looked into the automatic whole house propane generators and they use a lot of propane. You would be lucky to last a week on 300 gallons. A good gas generator is more energy efficient. I would recommend wood if available. We are able to keep our entire house heated with our fireplace. A person could also cook or boil water if need be.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. I love solar but believe in multiple sources for energy. I learned the hard way unfortunately no sun no power.
You not only need to train with your self-defense weapon of choice, but you should also carry it whenever and wherever it is practicable (and legal) to do so. it doesn't do you any good sitting on the shelf.
I would stock up on clothing items. You never know how long everything will be down so extra and bigger sizes for kids. Also entertainment such as games, cards, etc.
A friend of mine introduced me to a friend of his who was a prepper, and this guy was eager to show me what he had accomplished over the years. He had stockpiled everything required to support his entire family for a year, and obviously hadn't overlooked a thing. That was 55 years ago.
The advantage of living on my acreage is the well. It has been tested several times and there is a filtration system. I will be adding a rainwater catchment system. Maine receives a lot of rain.
I have solar. Enough to run 2 fridges and one freezer with my cpap. If the sun isn’t good for long enough though it would be trouble. I’m looking into a smaller wind turbine to fill that niche thinking if the sun is hiding, most likely the wind is blowing.
Basic tools and FIRE FIGHTING EQUIPMENT as emergency services may be out of action. We live in the Philippines and have seen many homes completely burned to the ground before the Bureau of Fire Protection managed to get there. Some fire extinguishers will prevent small fires getting out of control and stop that complete destruction from happening.
I just pickup a couple Mountain House Freeze Dried packages at Walmart the Sporting Goods area. I've been Prepping for many decades, so I have a lot put back.
A Saudi general asked my father in law about the ground water of the United States and my father in law said the United States has used about 80% of the ground water since the 1950s, he said the biggest waste is watering grass followed by washing vehicles
What's great about the Earth the Lord Created, that the water that is used us refilled with the cycle of the earth. Though some wells go dry, here is Phoenix Arizona, the wells that feels alot of the 6 millions out here, refills with cycles and rain fall, Primary Water.
If you live in an area that gets a lot of snow or ice, washing vehicles is crucial or it’ll be a pile of rust…during the summer months we wash when we can barely see through the bugs on the windshield 🤷🏻♀️
Washing vehicles? Really? If you use a gun on your hose, you won't even use a bucket's worth of water to rinse the car, and even less to soap it up. Taking a shower everyday (nobody needs a shower everyday, except maybe coal miners) and flushing the toilet everytime you go pee, these use WAY more water than washing a car once every two weeks. If it's yellow, let it mellow, if it's brown flush it down.
@@MaddMaxx2012 I would have to agree with that statement! Here in eastern MT the damn water bill almost 80.00 frickin dollars whether I use any water or not so I let my toilet mellow! Haha.
@@robertbilger5794 I'm lucky, so far, my town does not charge per gallon of use. It's just a straight yearly water tax depending on your property value...Totally unfair though because I'm a single guy in a 4000 ft house that pays way more than some smaller houses that have 6-8 people in it using 10X what I use!. so I'm actually for a per gallon tax, as I live across a major river and so could re-plumb my house to use river water to flush my toilets and wash my cars and water my garden.
I put them in a glass jar with an oxygen absorber. I don't leave anything in the box I buy it in. I put cereal in a jar a yr ago and we wanted to try it. The cereal was crunchy and taste just as it did when we put it in the jar.
I put Sugar, Instant Potatoes, Chocolate Pudding Mix, etc in Ziploc Bags and then I put those in an Airtight/Waterproof Container. I mostly use new 50cal ammo cans. They are expensive but they will keep rodents and moisture out of the food and you can not put a price on food after SHTF. Canning Jars can and will break. The only thing I put in canning jars is water and I can use the water to empty the canning jars for food preservation. I have been Prepping for many decades. Keep Prepping my friends.
Repetition is a teaching technique to cause things to become second nature. If you are already an expert, then just move along - some of us are new to prepping and appreciate the helpful repetitions coming from different angles.
i've watched 3 needs vids in 2 days. they all say food water meds fire arms health yes same old, same old. but i learn a lot from the comments that i read. main vid repeats, comments something new or i can use. just me.
Hi, I have a question I hope someone can answer: I know canned goods last long past the dates. My question is: does shelf stable milk that has not been opened last after the best buy date? Thanks in advance ❤
I heard someone say that they had used shelf stable that the best buy date was a year before. I have used it a couple months past and it was fine. I keep powdered milk for the longer term.
I'm sorry but how can you stock pile some of these items when they can go back. Can goods are not life long, vitamins definitely expire... I just wanna know how can keeping some of these items be safe if they go bad? I don't know if you know a better way to keep them but id like to know. (Dry goods I agree with)
Vinegar works well on a lot of insects. Mint and cinnamon work well to deter both insects and mice. I prefer food Grade, as it can be used for cooking. I grow peppermint around the house, cut hang by stem and have warm tea.
As always 100% correct on the Survival aspects. 1)Ait, 2)Water, 3)Shelter, 4)Protection, 5)Food, 6) Medical Supplies, 7)Drive it survive. All of this is useless if there is no plan to recover after event X. Plan for the worst case and all of the smaller issues are covered.
While salt is essential, table salt should be avoided. Celtic salt offers the best balance of minerals and will enhance water absorption without raising blood pressure.
^This^. Cheap ordinary table salt is less than ideal. Like you, I use Celtic salt as it has the most balanced minerals including essential trace minerals. Himalayan pink salt is also good.

Everyone around me has city water, I paid 5k for a well. Have solar and wind power to power that well. Enough to run everything I have just not all at once. At least six months of food and everything I need to keep it mine. FAFO. I've also got a linen closet full of medical supplies. Alcohol and cigarettes will be as good as money.
Instant coffee is also a great barter item, as is powdered cocoa. (I tried to stockpile chocolate bars somehow they just kept getting eaten. Cocoa powder requires a little bit of effort to turn it into some kind of desert so it's easier to keep on the shelf.) People always crave their coffee and their chocolate.
@@diannaboyd7876 I drink coffee every morning. Can't stand instant. But I'll bet I could get used to it. Adding that to my list. Thanks 👍. Don't forget the duct tape and zip ties.
But for rice, beans, etc, you need water and some sort of heat to cook them. I’m sticking to canned/tinned food which you can eat cold. Soups with protein and veg also provide fluids which you need. And mixed chopped fruit in syrup.
Thats great temporarily until you find a good water source. You’ll need to store in bulk and will need too grow fresh the following year. Beans will grow beans .

The video was discussing basics. There are many things it didn't include.
Red ants can tell you if rain is eminent or if it just looks like rain.
Birds know also.
Pay attention to Nature just in case your barometer breaks.
I would add clothing and supplies for all weather challenges - heat, cold, rain, sun, snow, ice. Sturdy shoes and boots, woolen socks, gloves, hats, mosquito netting, shovels, so much else. Thanks Eric and fam. 🙏❤️

The advantage of living on my acreage is the well. It has been tested several times and there is a filtration system. I will be adding a rainwater catchment system. Maine receives a lot of rain.
What if you have kidney lung and other issues how do you prepare for that?
Everyones water heater holds 40 gallons of potable water. Look up how to shut it off and use it.
Batteries for the solar
Hi from N Texas!
Gotta sleep sometime.
All these s is true. However you must be able to replenish your food stocks. Heirloom seeds are the most important food source replacement.
You nailed it! Greatest staples in the world...rice and beans.
Split peas and lentels require a lot less energy to cook than kidney or pinto beans and they are higher in protein.
Thank you Eric. Great suggestions 👍😀
Any herbal or spice seeds to grow when you run out.
I have solar. Enough to run 2 fridges and one freezer with my cpap. If the sun isn’t good for long enough though it would be trouble. I’m looking into a smaller wind turbine to fill that niche thinking if the sun is hiding, most likely the wind is blowing.
Hi from PA
Basic tools and FIRE FIGHTING EQUIPMENT as emergency services may be out of action. We live in the Philippines and have seen many homes completely burned to the ground before the Bureau of Fire Protection managed to get there. Some fire extinguishers will prevent small fires getting out of control and stop that complete destruction from happening.
Where do you get your dehydrated/freeze dried foods?
American Reserves... There's a link in the description below, along with a sale special.
I just pickup a couple Mountain House Freeze Dried packages at Walmart the Sporting Goods area. I've been Prepping for many decades, so I have a lot put back.

Thanks for these great ideas!
A Saudi general asked my father in law about the ground water of the United States and my father in law said the United States has used about 80% of the ground water since the 1950s, he said the biggest waste is watering grass followed by washing vehicles
What's great about the Earth the Lord Created, that the water that is used us refilled with the cycle of the earth. Though some wells go dry, here is Phoenix Arizona, the wells that feels alot of the 6 millions out here, refills with cycles and rain fall, Primary Water.
If you live in an area that gets a lot of snow or ice, washing vehicles is crucial or it’ll be a pile of rust…during the summer months we wash when we can barely see through the bugs on the windshield 🤷🏻♀️
Washing vehicles? Really? If you use a gun on your hose, you won't even use a bucket's worth of water to rinse the car, and even less to soap it up. Taking a shower everyday (nobody needs a shower everyday, except maybe coal miners) and flushing the toilet everytime you go pee, these use WAY more water than washing a car once every two weeks. If it's yellow, let it mellow, if it's brown flush it down.
@@MaddMaxx2012 I would have to agree with that statement! Here in eastern MT the damn water bill almost 80.00 frickin dollars whether I use any water or not so I let my toilet mellow! Haha.
@@robertbilger5794 I'm lucky, so far, my town does not charge per gallon of use. It's just a straight yearly water tax depending on your property value...Totally unfair though because I'm a single guy in a 4000 ft house that pays way more than some smaller houses that have 6-8 people in it using 10X what I use!. so I'm actually for a per gallon tax, as I live across a major river and so could re-plumb my house to use river water to flush my toilets and wash my cars and water my garden.
Food, medicine, water n pray. Because except body we have soul too, that can't die... 😊
Amen!
How long will a packet of Idahoan mash potatoes last best before date is 23oct 2024 on the package …?
If they are plain with no butter... for years!
Thanks for your reply plane is the way forward 💪🏴🙏
I put them in a glass jar with an oxygen absorber. I don't leave anything in the box I buy it in. I put cereal in a jar a yr ago and we wanted to try it. The cereal was crunchy and taste just as it did when we put it in the jar.
I put Sugar, Instant Potatoes, Chocolate Pudding Mix, etc in Ziploc Bags and then I put those in an Airtight/Waterproof Container. I mostly use new 50cal ammo cans. They are expensive but they will keep rodents and moisture out of the food and you can not put a price on food after SHTF. Canning Jars can and will break. The only thing I put in canning jars is water and I can use the water to empty the canning jars for food preservation. I have been Prepping for many decades. Keep Prepping my friends.
@@lewis9888 I use repurposed glass jars to store rice salt pasta and other things
How do you stock up on your meds they only allow 3 months at a time
Goodie 2 shoes, vreat idea also good wTer filter
2 gallon per person and 10 more for bathing clothes , dishes and cleaning .if you are growing food 30 gallons for each person
Eric how long will vitamins last on the shelf? Thanks
Vitamins and meds will last almost indefinitely. They only lose their potency over long periods of time
@@cjhoward409 I have heard vitamin C does not last that long. I know from the AirForce study that antibiotics last a long time
Forever stamps increasing from 68 cents to 73 cents on July 14th.
How do you get antibiotics without going to a doctor?
I think you have about a month or more to get a boat and get off the coast.
Watch those generators , my sister had one stolen from them . They live in the country.
Always keep your pitbull chained to it. 😄
If you can't afford stock piles. Find out who the preppers are in your area. They will be your grocery store in WTSHTF
Even 100 Bic lighters will eventually run out of fluid. A few magnifying glasses will last longer!
Cooking oil is essential
There's only a few thousand videos on 5, 10, 20 things you need to stock up on,, but I guess we can use one more.
Repetition is a teaching technique to cause things to become second nature. If you are already an expert, then just move along - some of us are new to prepping and appreciate the helpful repetitions coming from different angles.
i've watched 3 needs vids in 2 days. they all say food water meds fire arms health yes same old, same old. but i learn a lot from the comments that i read. main vid repeats, comments something new or i can use. just me.
Thankyou 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻♥️♥️
hav eyou connected with other prepping communities like the towns next door to Goshen?
Hi, I have a question I hope someone can answer: I know canned goods last long past the dates. My question is: does shelf stable milk that has not been opened last after the best buy date? Thanks in advance ❤
I heard someone say that they had used shelf stable that the best buy date was a year before. I have used it a couple months past and it was fine. I keep powdered milk for the longer term.
@@donnadelong2781 thank you!
I'm sorry but how can you stock pile some of these items when they can go back. Can goods are not life long, vitamins definitely expire... I just wanna know how can keeping some of these items be safe if they go bad? I don't know if you know a better way to keep them but id like to know. (Dry goods I agree with)
I have several solar generators
My dog can drink nearly 1/2 gallon per day.

Mice rat poison or traps… sticky fly strips…spray for outside bugs spiders etc…
Vinegar works well on a lot of insects. Mint and cinnamon work well to deter both insects and mice. I prefer food Grade, as it can be used for cooking. I grow peppermint around the house, cut hang by stem and have warm tea.

As always 100% correct on the Survival aspects. 1)Ait, 2)Water, 3)Shelter, 4)Protection, 5)Food, 6) Medical Supplies, 7)Drive it survive.
All of this is useless if there is no plan to recover after event X.
Plan for the worst case and all of the smaller issues are covered.
Keep LMNT on hand always. Just a bit in your water is enough. The whole packet is too much
But can the body cope with artificial vitamins?
better than doing without them.
While salt is essential, table salt should be avoided. Celtic salt offers the best balance of minerals and will enhance water absorption without raising blood pressure.
^This^. Cheap ordinary table salt is less than ideal. Like you, I use Celtic salt as it has the most balanced minerals including essential trace minerals. Himalayan pink salt is also good.
You absolutely must have iodized salt. Buy it in whatever form necessary.

You only need a "bag of holding" and "a boom stick" ... you can get all the rest later ;)
You still need a defendable position.

Here is my top 10 items to have when SHTF….
Biolite Stove w accessories
Ecoflow w Solar Panels
USMC Sleep System
Multitool (Leatherman Signal)
Casio G Shock (GW9400-1 Rangeman or GPRH1000-1 Rangeman)
Lifestraw
Freeze Dried Food
SAS Survival Guide (book and app)
First Aid Kit (My Medic Recon Emergency Kit)
Walkie Talkies (Motorola T265)
Sawyer mini water filter would be better
Everyone around me has city water, I paid 5k for a well. Have solar and wind power to power that well. Enough to run everything I have just not all at once. At least six months of food and everything I need to keep it mine. FAFO. I've also got a linen closet full of medical supplies. Alcohol and cigarettes will be as good as money.
Instant coffee is also a great barter item, as is powdered cocoa. (I tried to stockpile chocolate bars somehow they just kept getting eaten. Cocoa powder requires a little bit of effort to turn it into some kind of desert so it's easier to keep on the shelf.) People always crave their coffee and their chocolate.
@@diannaboyd7876 I drink coffee every morning. Can't stand instant. But I'll bet I could get used to it. Adding that to my list. Thanks 👍. Don't forget the duct tape and zip ties.
Tools. MANUAL tools.
But you have to watch that salt if you have high blood preasure.sir.😊
I’m a professional at taking care of me.
Underwear, don't forget Underwear.
Socks will be very important, and work clothes a suit won't be of much use.
