I'm not much for gadgets. We do have two generators, one for the house, one for neighbors to keep their food fresh. Also, 200 feet of extension cords.
My list,
14 Fruit trees
20 Berry bushes
1 nut tree
1 grape vine
garden tools
vegetable seeds
wheat seeds
reloading tools
reloading supplies
canning equipment
fermentation equipment
a tarp big enough to cover the roof, scrap lumber and nails to hold it down and a ladder and a hammer
The harvest from 1,700 square feet is only about 1/3 complete, we already have half a year's worth of vegetables in the pantry. We've fermented berries and pears. Apples and grapes up soon. After the fermentation produces alcohol it undergoes a second aerobic step to produce vinegar. To us vinegar is more valuable that wine or apple jack.
All this on a half acre. And the yard still looks nice.
Smart
Depending on your nut tree you probably need more than one to help with pollination. Walnuts produce bucketloads when there is cross pollination between Franquettes and Chandlers.
@@kaeolandon-lane3429 The walnuts are dropping this month. Almost dangerous to walk out there. There's many in the neighborhood.
Bu thank you very much.
@@phild8095 lucky!
I live in Australia and I am the only one in my neighbourhood with a walnut tree. Grew up on a walnut farm.
@@kaeolandon-lane3429 How's "winter" treating you? Summer sundown here in the midwest US this evening, temp 35C, heat index 42C. Only walked 3.4 k with the dog today.
Stockpile White Toothpaste for burns. It works even better than ice! Slather White Toothpaste immediately on the burn to stop the pain in a few minutes and stop the burn from going deeper. A must have!
That buddy heater overheats my 400sqft garage in 20 degree weather. In my opinion it’s a good option.
I got a dehydrator and have used it more than any other pepper item I have. It changed the way I cook. It's much cheaper than a freeze dryer.
Are you in touch with other preppers in your area? A shared expense is perfect for a freeze dryer. Honestly, it usually sits unused most of the time anyway. We have five guys in my area and we split it five ways to include the oil.
Bingo Gal, wife bought a second
One at a yard sale, was still new in the box !
Had a freeze dryer, was out of Utah, complete
Junk, $3k, thx to American Express I got a full
Refund. 💯👍😎
They are way less expensive but the food doesn't last as long (since there's still moisture in them)and they destroy half the nutrients in them with the heat.
Strangely enough I have everything you mentioned except the sun oven. Living in Canada in a rain forest counting on sun for much of the year is futile. A lot was bought for building out a step van so I have solar panels as well. I regard all these things as sensible solutions for travel as well as preps for grid down situations or other emergencies. We get November storms that take out the power lines every year. Good on you for informing people about more than the usual 3 weeks worth of food preps. Little old lady on vancouver island.
I have 2 solar backup batteries and 200 watts of solar panels. I have an electric rice cooker I can use to cook with. I have an electric cooler I plug into my backup battery. I also have an amp meter. I can plug my appliances and electronics in so I know how much power I'll need to run them. I have a dehydrator, propane stove, wireless USB fan, small heater, electric blanket, USB charging lights. Emergency radio, water filtration system. Almost all of my devices are USB charging that can be charged using any one of my solar chargers or shore power. I live in Florida and have been preparing for emergencies/ hurricane season since 2020. I add to my emergency supplies each year. I also grow a vegetable garden and tropical fruits year-round. I started prepping with very little money. As a retiree, the one thing I want in a power outage is to be able to stay cool in this Florida heat.😊
Hi I live in AZ...what are you doing to stay cool
Plz share 🙏
@Lisa-xe5vs I have central AC. If the power goes out during a storm and we loose AC I only have fans to keep cool. Our cental AC went out during hurricane Debby a few weeks ago we were without AC for 1 day. It was brutal. The fans and several showers keep me cool. We were blessed that it was just a blown fuse. Just praying we don't loose our AC again. I need to invest in a few more fans. Stay cool 😎 👌
Tools, guns/ammo and animal trap. Knowledge is something that can't be taken. Tools, guns, amo and a good trap would be less to worry about. People forget that books are a prep as well.
Thanks for your fabulous presentation!👏🙏 Love your channel. 👏 Keep up the great work.🇺🇸🇺🇸
I use my butane stove a lot. I put the fuel bottle in bed with me if it’s very cold. They don’t work well when the fuel is cold.
I got the buddy heater and used it for winter tent camping. The CO2 alarm never went off. It works ok. But then I got a hot tent wood stove and we like using it better.
Great video, Mahalo for sharing. But the 3500 predator overheats in hot weather, so it's useless if in the south. The 4550 is open frame, lighter, and cheaper and a much better inverter generator.
I have a coworker who has a craftsman inverter generator. He has the same overheating problem here in Texas.
Thank you for the reply. I bought a small portable ac on Amazon 249.00 1000 BTU the smallest because it can run on my gas or solar generator..will cool one room but a life saver I recommend it. They are cheaper if you buy it in winter some even on clearance. Not the traditional window kind hose attaches to unit and slides in window NOT the SWAMP cooler ones must say ac.. sorry I can't attach link...search Delta portable ac 1000 BTU 115 volts....it got me three months of over 110 degree heat.....life saving.. blessings 💞
I have wanted a freeze dryer for a while now. My uncle used to sell home cooked freeze dried meals to his hunting and camping buddies for half the cost of store bought package meals. He also used to freeze dry candy and sell it at trade shows for ridiculous markups (a $1.50 bag of skittles can be split into two portions and sold freeze dried for $5/portion. people pay it happily for the novelty)
between that revenue and his own food cost savings, he said the unit (well over $4000 at the time) paid for itself in just over a year and now makes him money. If you keep it well maintained and use it often, a freeze dryer can be one of the best long term investments you can make on a single appliance
Get a first sid book. It's valuable on it's own. Using the information, build your OWN first aid kit with extra attention to the more serious cases.
Way too many commercially made first kits sre a glorified box of bandaids.
Thx
Get 4 sets same cloths for all n household esch 2 sizes larger to make it look like u t losing weight stay clean but try to look scroungy like others.
i would also add to our list. learn how to pressure can and water bath canning.
The Powerhorse generator from Northern Tool comes with a three year warranty and greater output. Same engine and interchangeable components.
The fridge 12vdc you got I’ve got one too it’s an iceco 68 quart it uses from 36 to 57 watts drone my solar generator which is 2000 watts and solar charged I’m getting 190 watts out of two 100 watt solar panels and on cloudy days I fire up my predator gas generator 5000 watts and just plug it into my off grid cabin which charges up the batteries and runs the whole cabin too it take about an hour or so to charge everything up lol I’m trying to be self sufficient up there and I’m getting there little by little !!
Nice!
Thx for the info,
Stay on it,
Regards from the
North Rocky Mountains UssA 😊
Great list. I have 7 out of 10 already!
If the generator was on sale the next day, you could have went there with your receipt and gotten the sale price
you should add a 12 volt water pump. rain water catch system. I can shower, flush toilets, wash dishes with it. water garden. I just can not let the pump run without a open line for water flow. I just added a on off switch to the 12 volt line to shut off the pump 1st
Thx for the great info
Nice video!! Really like the sun oven idea. Thanks.
Thanks. I love mine
I have had one for 15 plus years,
They are wonderful 😊
Be sure to use ethanol free gas in anything small gas engines so they wont clog up. Homedepot has a dual gas/propane generator for roughly the same price and having a predator in the past, now I dont have to take it to stihl every yr to get it fixed to use it.
great camerawork and content
Generator noise tip.
dig a hole, put the generator in the hole, cover it with a sheet of plywood...
ya will need some kind of ventilation so the exhaust escapes and it can get some fresh air so it dont choke its self out from exhaust fumes.
a piece of pvc pipe 2-3 inches in diameter through the ply wood on one end almost within inches of touching the bottom of the hole and leave the other hole open,, heat rises which will pull in fresh air down the pipe.
works great.
I've thought about trying this. Good info for SHTF.
There are other ways to keep it quieter
There are special covers you can make or buy
Just remember if your burying it it’s not gonna rain 😂✌️🇺🇸
@@jrbarilla the purpose was to be discreet,
yea,, there are other ways,, BUT.
they can still SEE it,
in a hole in the ground just looks like a piece of plywood covering a hole..
if they get up close.
it could be the whole ya crap in,, ya think they will look?
well, some might..
if someone can see it,, they will more than likely steel it...
from a distance no one would know its there..
A Fancy cover or built box would stick out..
there is ALWAYS someone driving around peepin in to people yards snooping as they drive by.
Rain? When,, lol I live in the desert, J/s
a tarp of some kind with rocks holding it down would work just fine.
rocks for when the wind trys to blow your shit to the next state..
Cinder blocks look to Sus.
its not for everyone,,, but it works,,
if you so happen to leave for a few and they dont see it?
Ya gotta be smarter than these damn meth heads is all...
chains and locks dont work anymore,
they have death wheels (battery powered side grinders) for chains and locks.
there even cutting open shipping containers now.
Later Dude..
@@tyger13us hey tyger
Your absolutely correct 👍 n everything you say here
I live in the NE, specifically the state prison of NJ, have been for over 25 years now
Much different environment here as opposed to you
However, Sandy hit, it didn’t take but 7-10 days down here near the shore for people to lose their shit
I live in a upper middle class neighborhood and they were driving around at night in pickups with guns cutting the chains on generators and stealing them
Many were used by those that stole
Many were being sold as used at local auctions etc
Hell, they recall people were being held up by men with guns at the one still functioning gas station near us that was still able to get their gas out of their tanks and accepted only cash
The line was at least a mile long and that was for the walkers not even the drivers
They were being robbed just blocks away as they walked for their gas tanks
It literally took less than 2 weeks for people to turn from civilized neighbors to desperate what you would describe in normal society as criminals
Our local food stores Wegmans, Shopright and Acmes were charging 50% for their frozen food items they would spoil
Good deal, right?
Normal people, neighbors, criminals, yes they mixed in as well, walked in and even with the local police presence, just started taking whatever they wanted and walked out without paying
The police nor store owners didn’t do anything. At first they tried but the numbers were too many. The store owners told the police they didn’t want any trouble and that they would have to throw the food out anyway within a certain time period by law. That they were insured for all of it
Thing is, the people were not just taking the frozen food but dried and canned foods as well
Anyway, bottom line, did anything here surprise me?
No
Anything you said surprise me?
No
I am a 16 year fully disabled combat veteran, 18b
Also, as part of my responsibilities in training forces even outside of US troops I attended SERE training which was very valuable
I was older than I’m much younger than that now 😝
But I’m disabled, so limited
Throughout my military career I’ve witnessed many what people would describe as SHTF scenarios around the world
Many were different in gradation but they all shared the same characteristics and even what you would consider normal people will do very desperate things for their families etc
That’s not even considering what those criminal
Components would do to gain access and control to resources thereby controlling the people
So, it is always a good idea if you can have a
Mix of dual powered traditional generators and solar
And never let them think that you are in a better situation than they are
They will take
And you will give
You will not have another choice
I wish you and yours and this crazy world peace ✌️🇺🇸
@@jrbarilla 👍✌
Buy the $100 cheaper deal, same generator. Use other receipt to return the more expensive one
Great idea lol.
@@TheBugOutLocation
Though, often in those situations, the store will reimburse you if you talk to them about the fact that you just purchased it the day before the sale. Otherwise, return the more expensive one and then repurchase it for the $100 cheaper one.
Love the bumble on the shelf! Haha
Do you share the plans for your homemade jackery battery box?
Yeah, I did a video. DIY Solar Generator Battery Box | Beginner Friendly

Butane.. does it work below 32 degrees? Any suggestions on how to keep the butane warm during the winter ?
I have everything on the list, some are different brands, except the sun oven.
Thanks
great job on the video thanks for the info!
Propane for heat, Butane for cooking, and Gasoline for generator??? Why not all propane???
Propane is the most expensive option. the K1. To heat my kitchen with Propane cost$60 a month. It is hard to find a propane stove that is safe for indoor use. If I want to cook outside then I use hobo stoves
GREAT VIDEO!!!!! I just bought the same reverse osmosis machine.
Interesting vid , I think I want a Sun oven (maybe I’ll make one ?).
Like your videos
Keep it real and don’t go AI ✌️🇺🇸
AI can't compete with real people doing real things. Thanks!
Great Job , good video
Thanks!
Good presentation. The buddy heater is stated for outdoor use? Has the carbon monoxide monitor alarmed at all? interested in this.
rated for internal use. That's the major selling point of the units.
@stacky512a Oh really, bugger I was going to get one today, but the salesman pointed out to me external use.' So the one you have is for internal use im assuming and do you know if they sell indoor and outdoor ones? Appreciate your response and again enjoyed your show, just came across it. 🇦🇺
It says on the box " Indoor Safe" www.mrheater.com/portable-buddy-heater.html
I ran it next to my CO2 monitor for 30 minutes with no issues. The reading didn't even change.
@@TheBugOutLocation it does to thanks.
Thanks for the informative video! I have been considering a Harvest Right, which size is it that you have?
I have the small. Most people prefer the medium, but the small works just fine for us. Thanks.
the buddy heaters are gas hogs! A Chinese diesel heater is much better and close to the same price. you need to use a 12 volt battery if grid down. a car battery will last 3 days on a full charge. plus you can mix 50/50 diesel and used veg. oil
Does the Simpure take the salt out of ocean water?
No, it won't do that.
@@TheBugOutLocation ok, thank you. I know some RO systems will. I live in an oceanfront condo, so I have been trying to find something that will remove the salt.
@teresabradley432 No problem. I'll bet you can get something installed in your home, but that's MUCH more money than this countertop version. It's possible they have something at their website too.
@@TheBugOutLocation I'm trying to find something portable for shtf situations
@@TheBugOutLocation agreed. The only real method of getting drinking water from the ocean is distillation.
So many people that believe they are wise in their own minds, when there is nowhere you can hide when the wrath of God, his judgements, ring out across the world! Many will go to the rocks in the mountains and say "fall on us! Hide us from the face of God!" The only true way to survive is to put you faith and trust in our Lord Jesus Christ, for there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved!
To bad that all that crap is about useless in a prolonged situation.😂😂
not if you prep for a prolong situation. I have been prepping since 9-11. I have prepped enough to open a trading post
Predator generators, frankly, suck. Don't buy one if you don't want to have to take it back.
mine has never let me down .
This guy just reads AI generated text. Not natural. Good info but might just the same as all the other ai channels
Not true at all. This guy has been prepping for 15 years and doesn't need AI to tell me what to say.
Goofy post ,
My name is….😩🥵🤮
Cute hat
