I really hope you get to read this. I started listening to you about March 2020 and convinced my husband that we needed to buy a woodstove. When the unusual snows happened in Texas, my friends mother who lived in an assisted facility was without power for a week and it was in the 30s in their building. This was the second kick in the pants to get the stove. Today I’m sitting in our enclosed porch with my woodstove going. I’m so glad we took your advice because on July 4 of this year my husband passed away. I have such a sense of peace because of the stove.
Sorry for your loss. I lost my husband too this year. We installed a woodburner did years ago. Best thing ever. They have risen in price and are hard to get now, and harder to get workmen who are able to install. People are now in position of waiting until Jan Feb for installation!
We have been "Preppers" in a low key, English sort of way. As a former Royal Marine I fully understand the importance of preparation. The single most important item in our decades long collection of supplies is our "how to..." library. The ability to store information is what separates successful long term survivors from the dead. Thanks for the hard work on your UA-cam channel, we don't miss any of them.
Perhaps one of the most useful comments….You can use your garden to keep you alive but it isn’t about just seeds! Start learning to garden NOW. Took me three seasons before I began to feel any sense of confidence. I would add that in our northern climates, as in Britain, a greenhouse is worth more than you would ever pay ..it adds a couple of months to your growing season. It’s something you can buy now….
3 monetary faults and their fixes. Our world has 3 fundamental practices that are problematic. If we dont understand the root causes of a problem we will address the symptoms or actors, not the causes. The 1st is that large private and Central banks have obtained the Exclusive franchise to create ALL new Currency as Debt, with interest attached. An increasing population needs an increasing currency, but it is all created as debt bearing interest. This indebts the whole world, every person, every government, in totally unpayable debts, enslaving us all to bankers through personal debt or ever increasing excessive taxation, surcharges, permits, licences, registrations, regulations, fees, rates, duties, fines, levies, adinfinitum, of which an increasing volume goes straight to the debt creators, who created it for free. (At zero cost to themselves.) 2nd. Virtually no limitation plus fractional banking allows banks to effectively create massive new Currency volumes, blowing massive bubbles (in housing/stocks) which devalues everyone's savings, work, pension by raising all prices. Meanwhile taxation creates artificial demand for fiat currency. The fix ? Go back to Sound Metalic Money and stop all banks and financial institutions loaning out more than they have on deposit. Return legal currency creation to national treasury departments with a zero Inflation policy. This will not create inflation like some bankers/economists would like to have you think. It is not WHO creates currency that drives the constant devaluation of your money & work, it is THE VOLUME per population and productivity. The banks increased the base currency supply by over 65 % since March 2020. This is further multiplied by fractional banking. You can't spend it off planet, and we've had no increase in population or productivity. How can it not devalue our savings, wages and retirement funds by at least 50% as it enters the economy ? 3rd. Fiat currency whether paper or digital has no intrinsic value, thus it cannot be used as a long term store of value, particularly in an ever expanding fiat system. The fix ? Return to constitutional Silver, Gold, Copper & Nickle currency, designated by weight not cents/dollars. These will find their own local value. These can't be printed to oblivion, have intrinsic value, and are a safeguard against selfish human nature. Continue to keep the manufacture of Gold & Silver rounds by private mints & foundries to help keep the government mints honest as to premiums. Do not allow bankers and economists trained in the current system to con you into believing there isn't enough Metalic Money. You mix 1% gold, 99% copper, you have a Gold backed currency. Same with Silver and Nickle. Mint 10th ounce, 2 10ths, 5 10ths and 1 ounce. Never give it a 'value number,' which is always a lie. Give it its weight & purity, and let the market place decide what it will buy. Call it 'slow money" like 'slow food.' It's slower for sure, but it's 10 times better for you. Necessary to nationalise mines & pay shareholders out in metal. Correct these 3 Principles and >80 % of a nation's problems would disappear. Do not allow your masters the Debt slave creator's to tell you it can't be done. It is easily done. Beware. The WEF wants you totally enslaved with Digital currency. Convert your garbage fiat currency into Gold and Silver or prepare for destruction.
@@mrme3717 when the system is the problem you dont change people in controll or single mechanics of it, you delete the system, civilization means control and it comes from fear, as long as we believe the illusion that we are some kings or gods and have to control the world as it would be ours, as long we suffer under it, no tribal culture world wide had any problems we had. If the civilization starts, it goes uncontrolable into always faster and more destructive mode, i cant go into detail because i must write a book here but thats fact, the need for control which is essential a lack of reality and trust is what creates this big lie, which changes nothing because in the end we eat,shit adn sleep like any other animal and than went to dust again, its man not accepting that he is not god, that we are in constant change and cant hold anything.
@@tutorialchief we build systems due to natural specialisation. Do you understand this. We dont all want to be goat herders, horse trainers, blacksmiths, seamstress, doctors, miners, carpenters. So 'systems ' are inevitable. Government is also inevitable, because organised co-operation is the most beneficial to all, and you might say, the way of heaven. So the systems need Sound Principles.
I am going to add, since many people can't afford to buy water filtration units, there are videos that teach you to make you own using very inexpensive materials, especially those that are directed to poor nations. Same with other things that are essential, like for example, for cooking. I have been preparing since dad (and us) was station in German during the cold war with the Soviet Union (as in mostly Russia), when WWIII was peeking even then and the Berlin Wall was being built. I'm now an old woman, close to 76 years old, and I can attest we are at a very dangerous moment in time. You can bet I have spent my life paying attention. Very evil people want most of us gone, regardless of nation. No one is safe!
Carmen, I agree with you on this genocide. The smaller the populace, the easier it will be to enforce their wicked agenda. I knew this plan way back in the 70’s but didn’t know how they would bring it to fruition. I am a believer in the Word of God but as the prophecies play out it’s a daily battle to stay one step ahead. I believe the King Jesus will snatch His own away to safety at a certain point in the Rapture but we have to be prepared until He does. I’m 70 today.
@@heatherthompson3670 I believe with most of what you say BUT not with "snatch his own away". You have to remember what happened to the early Christians, many were slaughtered, some were fed to wild animal, while the enemies watching them being killed. Yet, for that same reason Christianity grew. People saw just how people were willing to die for what they believed to be the truth. I do not expect it to be easy, but I believe I will survive to see it change. Have know that since I was a child. You have to listen, not just to think it will be easy.
@@carmenortiz5294 well it’s ok to have a different viewpoint. I’ve believed in the pre trib rapture since childhood and it’s only been reinforced over time. The reason I can’t change this view is because they are putting stuff in folks bodies now that change their genome and the Mark is likely to be AI so that explains the inability to buy or sell without it and being lost for eternity if a person takes it. The persecution is already happening and I believe that those who die as martyrs in the Trib will be those who turn to Christ after the current saved folk have gone. We will know who is right soon enough. I was always prepared to accept death for my faith in Jesus. Either way, we’re going Home soon. Our Glorious Hope.
@@heatherthompson3670 You are prepared to accept death for your faith, yet you have decided that the ones that die as martyrs and those who turn to Christ after? Don't you see what you are saying? You are not willing to die for God (Christ is the son of). Even Jesus said, I come in the name of my father. You have it all turned around the ones willing to give their LIVES are the true believers, you just want to have an easy ride and not sacrifice your own little self. What a joke!
@@carmenortiz5294 no point getting stroppy over this Carmen. It is not what we ‘think’. It is how we interpret His Word. I have already suffered as Christs for a lifetime. It wouldn’t be so hard for me to face martyrdom as my life has been excruciating from start to finish. This is not a ‘subjective’ subject. God has said and God will do. It is not about the ‘Me’ but about His Word which says that He will rescue us from the Wrath that is to come and that is what He says. God bless you.
I've been stuck for several days with no tap water due to frozen water pipes before - Here's one small tip for this situation - Have some paper plates in your stash - they don't need to be washed and can also be re used for a fire.
How anyone can take exception to your content, even if it differs from your "usual" content is baffling! Love everything you do on the channel Neil, I have learned a lot (especially from your 3 part great depression peice) your channel is what social media channels should strive to be, informative, honest, & challenge you to think. 👍
One hint! Plastic tops off products like Bisto gravy, they fit on tins of beans and cans of that size, good if you are only using half of a tin to preserve what’s left in the tin for a few days. I save all tops of different sizes for that purpose.
Listening to your list, I’m proud to say I have everything on the list for 10+ years I’ve been expecting this time in our world. I would add games especially if there are children around and comfort food you just can’t do without. I.e. coffee chocolate etc.It really helps keep the stress down.
Same here, been telling people about this since 2013, the writing has been on the wall for a long time now. Paper, books and games are important for mental well being.
I have to share something with you… if you put the bottom of a tin can ( the part that is soldered together) and rub really hard on solid rock or concrete it will open. No can opener needed.😂
Excellent advice! Thank you for your service, I had no ideas! I am a prepper and you’re list is phenomenal. Super simple items people should have anyway. I didn’t need a single thing on your list only because I’ve worried about issues for a long time and have been really preparing since 2019. Best part is everything that year was super inexpensive. Do not wait to get busy. I’m retired law enforcement. Don’t tell anyone what you’re doing. Ever. They will remember the second they realize they’re in trouble every conversation they’ve had with anyone who is preparing. If I could add anything to this list it’s build a cheap cinder block rocket stove you can learn to make in 10 minutes on UA-cam or purchase one online. I have a homemade one that boils water in minutes and a smoke free one I paid $150 US dollars for that is super good quality. I can cook anything with this. Learning skills in cooking and foraging also. I live in the mountains and on every hike once a week I look for foragable foods I can identify. You’d be amazed at how many things you can eat. Lastly if you want a highly nutritious food that you can grow anywhere without need for any good soil or watering, purchase purslane seeds. Purslane is what you think of as a weed that grows in sidewalk cracks. It’s got a spreading kind of branch with leaves like a portulaca or a succulent type leaf. You can add the leaves to a stew or salad. I grow this on purpose and no one will ever know it’s by design. They’ll never believe or suspect it’s actually one of the most nutritious foods on earth. When it flowers let it and then save the seeds when the pods start to open. Pray for the unbelievers who don’t know Jesus. All of this stuff is in the Bible and it means we are in the birthing pains around the world.🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🌎
Number 1 is knowledge. Making tools,fire, fresh water, clothes, shelter... 2 good foot wear. 3 family skills. 4 Hope, faith,trust, and justice. 5 is a belief in something bigger than you. Good luck 🤞
If you are planning to start a garden next year I suggest building the garden, adding soil amendments, compost, mulch, and any other infrastructure in the FALL. This way you can concentrate on planting in the spring and get an earlier cool weather crop with out having to build the garden at the same time. Fall is a good time to have your soil tested so you know what your soil is lacking and add what is needed now so you are ready to go at the end of winter.
Added mushroom compost to my best already and planning on building two more beds now in Nov. Looking forward to a great planting season. Looking at grow lights for my seed starting and found I love yellow zucchini better than squash and zucchini so that will be a new one this year.

Further, If you are planning on growing your own food you need to try growing the foods you want beforehand. Not only do you need the right environment and soil conditions, but you even need the right microbes in the soil, an entire crop can fail because a microbe it needed didn't exist in the soil it was seeded in. Now you can get your soil tested which is rather expensive or you can just try growing what you want and see where it will and wont grow.
@@givemeanameman1 good point. I agree. I have told people to start gardening so that they can discover which crops grow well in their gardens. There are many factors that contribute to success or failures. I can’t grow carrots and beets because little rodents eat them! But I can grow parsnips like crazy and nothing touches them. There are a lot of things that we can learn by practice. I could probably build raised beds and have better luck with some crops.
Thank you Neil. I live in Australia which usually has plenty of sunshine and I have found cheap solar lighting to be very handy when the power is cut off and for security. Placed outside by day and bring them inside as many of them have motion detection sensors. $10 or $12 Australian dollars.
I am but I have been prepping for over 20 years, so the kit has built up over the years. I have everything on his list, plus a few more items. Now working on a kit using the list for my daughter who lives 200 miles away, who doesn't even own a simple tin opener (hers is electric, but no good without power) I will be delivering a box full of stuff to her next week.
I'm afraid from my perspective they aren't, I have been telling all my family and friends to stock up on food and any long life items since the pandemic as they would only get more expensive but they, even now after 2 years of constant price increases and when we are on the brink of a harsh winter and potentially ww3 they still say I am being dramatic. I don't know what to say except ignorance is bliss.
@@markbooth1117 wonderful Mark - I too have built up a lot over 7 years - a lot of the supplies are for 'blind and deaf' family - Im pretty badly disabled but have also stocked a lot of gardening stuff. I don't hold out much hope for surviving what's coming but I hope this blesses my estranged loved ones 🙏
Don't forget gaffer tape, it's great for a quick fix for anything, tents and emergency roof tarpaulin. Tooth floss for hanging washing of clothing, airing out bedding,a good serrated small knife for cutting anything from bread to soft metal. I have used these items for myself and can guarantee they work.
Yours is the first comment I’ve ever read that mentions gaffer tape and, frankly, I’m surprised more people aren’t talking about it. I stumbled across gaffer tape several years ago and I absolutely love the stuff - will never go back to duct tape.
Don’t forget to learn about the plants around you and how you can use them. Plants that are high in saponins, such as English ivy or soap wort, can be boiled and the water used to wash your clothes. Also oak twigs are very effective toothbrushes. They are antiseptic and help prevent gum disease. The bark of oak can also be boiled and the tea treats diarrhoea, something that would be useful if you drink unsanitary water or eat bad food by mistake. If you’ve been walking for a long time and have pain in your feet, plantain leaves put in your shoes will ease swelling therefore making you more comfortable, this is a remedy native Americans used and I have tried myself so can confirm it works. Plantain is also edible (although I wouldn’t eat the feet leaves), a tea treats hay fever and the fresh leaves can be applied to insect or plant stings, irritated or infected skin (it has strong ‘pulling out’ properties that will clean a wound). If there’s an infection I would combine a mixture of herbs. Yarrow is also extremely useful for wounds.
One thing you missed was a vacuum sealer. Most people use them to keep meat fresher longer but I use mine for flour and instant loaves of bread asda sell. Just add water. I've got a British Birkfield gravity water purifier which I use everyday. It's the only water I drink. I started prepping as soon as I could, knowing the fiscal expenditure of the government would cause a crash down the line, especially the distruction of small businesses. Dried pulses, pasta and rice are essential plus something to flavour them with, oxo cubes etc. I'm far from wealthy and it's been slow going. The water filter was expensive but essential, I've also got spare filters. You can build your own from 2 large tubs and a spigot as the Yanks say. There's plenty of videos on UA-cam. Pray for peace but prepare for war as Neil says. Hunger will breed savagery so be prepared to defend your house regardless of our insane laws. Stock up on tinned food too. I haven't got a lot but I will be sharing with family who've ignored my constant warnings but what can you do. Hard Times are coming so do what you can. Even having a months supply of food puts you far ahead of most people. God bless you all.
@@johnhummus2519 my adult children aren't prepped either but I would never allow them or my small grandson to go without. I am prepping dor them also! Maybe it's a "Mum" thing! I wouldn't wish to survive if my family starved - through ignorance or not
@@johnhummus2519 I couldn't eat if they were hungry John. At least one of my sons has been buying silver for a while to trade and some tinned food. The eldest one just doesn't listen. I've got an air rifle for small game a couple of crayfish traps and edible plant and fungi books. I've got a tiny garden but even this year I planted tomatoes and potatoes down the side. Next year I'll have a bigger patch down the middle. Bought gardening and herb books too. I think it'll get to the stage where you won't be able to walk your dog unless you take precautions if you know what I mean lol. I won't be standing in line for soup and I won't take the chip in the hand. I don't blame you for feeling like you do especially if your like us and wouldn't take part in the great experiment despite the constant fear mongering. Hopefully things won't be as bad as we think but America is nearly out of deisel and that will cause all manner of robbery and violence. I believe this is all deliberate as per agenda 30. Best of luck brother and Granny prepper. 🙏👍🏻
If things go wrong I am moving in with you Neil! Thinking of Army supplies, when I was very young my mother bought my clothes from the Army & Navy stores. It was no fun going to school dressed as a Japanese Admiral (I had all the medals!!).
I think an all purpose fire extinguisher and a couple of fire blankets are not a bad idea given the fire/candles side of things. I just recently bought both - felt a bit ashamed that I hadn't thought of getting them years ago cos you never know when you might get an electrical appliance fire or whatever. Never mind, it's done now eh. There's always something else to add to the list I guess, we just have to do what we can.
@@sarahandnapoleonodomjr.6912 Yes, we have long ones for lighting fires, and short ones for candles - stored in plastic to avoid dampness. Also the cooker lighters are good - piezo for gas appliances, and the ones which give a naked flame as an extra back up. Cigarette lighters. Lighter fluid to refill the previous methods. Ferro rods. Magnifying glass. We can go on and on lol. Get anything you can, I say!
Criminal Bill Gates who seems to be in the know says expect five difficult years ahead. So I would make sure to get minimum of 5 years of resources and food.
Neil you could add these to your list - sewing kit/sewing skills, string/twine/rope & glue (super glue can even be used to close wounds - we do this during shearing if an animal gets cut), greenhouse - to grow seedlings early, plus extend your growing season, gardening needs skills - learn how to seed save as once your seed supply runs out you may need to be able to save your own & also grow heirloom varieties as they produce seeds that are true to type. Preserving skills, you need to know how to dry/can your excess produce for Winter. Solar garden lights are cheap & can be used inside at night if need be. Rain water tank/s to collect & store clean water, you can get thin ones that fit along the side of your house if space is limited. Spare car engine parts like filters, spark plus, fan belts etc as supply shortages already on these sorts of things.
Remember the rule of three’s. 3 minutes without air, 3 days without water, 3 weeks without food, and 3 seconds without 3 shoulder buttons, you’ll be in trouble.😉
Thank you, Neil. I've got all these items and a few more. You will also need: 1. Shoes - multiple pairs of walking/running shoes as well as durable boots 2. Protection - all types of options here. If you use firearms, you'll need to make sure to have lots of ammo and cleaning supplies. 3. Comfort/hobby items - help to maintain a sense of normalcy. Yarn for knitters, paint & canvas for painters, pencils & paper for sketches, etc. Also having extras of favorite snacks, blankets, teas, etc. 4. Entertainment - provides a distraction from daily stressors. Board games, cards, etc. 5. Hand-held walkie-talkies/radios provide local communication systems when cellular is down 6. Storage containers for small things and larger items. You won't be able to run to the store and get ziplock bags. Start collecting plastic or glass containers now. You can use the large gallon-size glass containers to store dry goods for decades by adding a few bay leaves and keeping in an ambient, light-reduced environment. 7. Luxury items are excellent for bartering. Coffee, tea, chocolate, alcohol, tobacco, OTC meds, etc. These will be very hard to find and as valuable as silver to some people. 8. Tires/treads for vehicles and bikes. 9. Spices - this will help normalize eating beans and rice for extended periods if you can change the taste. 10. Know your neighbors. Everyone has a skill set that can be utilized in an emergency. This will also help you be prepared in knowing who to trust and who to watch. Hope this is helpful. Keep up the good work!
the best protection you can have is situational awareness and community. no weapon would have saved me at all when a lady tried to murder me with her car last year but i was able to get away in 1 piece because I was trained in how to actively scan my environment. You cant buy yourself out of a crisis. You have to have skills that you can apply and practice with often, usually things that are mundane most under value like being able to bake/cook without a recipe, being aware of your environment and collecting information then apply it to parts of your lifestyle so its never a surprise when you need that skill
This is literally my way of life and has been for years so I dont have to specially prepare but one thing you havent mentioned which is not only extremely important food source I feel, is raw honey from beekeepers. For me it is medicine and also currency that holds tremendous value. It has no expiry date if stored correctly, in dark cool dry place. I have 40 kgs of honey right now in different locations, it is one I simply cant do without.
I was in the military too for a while, only in the ranks though. I think you might be missing something from your list, sir, something we used to carry around with us all the time. Being able to fight and defend yourself was a big part of bing in the army.
I introduced my neighbour to a mini gas cooker that takes inexpensive(atm) little gas containers - saves loads on electricity already! Your advice today is precious! Every prep over time has been useful as we encountered unexpected bumps in the road! Better to begin in the simplest way now. Ps…don’t forget Pencils / Art Supplies and Cocoa for morale while they are available 😢
That’s good but I went one further I bought the Coleman dual fuel stove and when the gas bottles run out that litre of petrol will run for most of a week of cooking
We stocked up on the movie classics on DVDs and a small DVD player as a reminder of the good times. It takes very little power from the solar generator and provides some diversion.
To the untrained eye they may look like harmless shoulder buttons but in the right pair of hands they can be lethal weapons. Never turn your back on a man with 3 buttons, just saying.
As far as medical goes. In the army they taught us. Really Big Boobs Should Fit Both Hands. RBBSFBH. Responsiveness, Breathing, Bleeding, Shock, Fractures, Burns, Head injury. When assessing someone injured this is the order you should focus on.
This is true. You dont want to be the only house in the street running a generator with all your lights on when everyone else has had no power for three days.
0) HAVING A SMARTPHONE : communication, backup light, and navigation. 14) Emergency medical kit : focus on patching severe life threatening injuries : cat tourniquet, leatherman raptor, israeli compression bandage. For superficial little things most of the time you can wait hours or days and let them go. So the most important is to have things that matter in seconds or minutes : maybe a defibrilator? have an oxygen meter, maybe something to take blood pressure, and a gps to give accurate information to the people that will come and help you.
Neil, this just gives me another reason to love your channel. Great info. Even after so much is said about prepping, and getting ready for problems, you know there are many, many people that are just getting the message. Good job, and thank you for your service. You obviously took it seriously, like myself. Be safe.
Community, we have to care for our community. You can have all the gear in the world, to what end if you're just sat there alone. Find a farmer, support them, in the UK our farmers and farms are under threat. It's clear you are well-prepared, most are not. Humanity is under attack, WEF etc. We have to stand together.
Hi Neil .... love your show. As a retired Canadian forest ranger, the one thing that people tend to forget is transportation to help you carry water home, get you to a good fishing spot, carry your game home, get you to a farm and carry the produce home, etc. etc. A good little Honda 50 or 90 will take you to hard to get places and back home again for a year on 10 gallons of fuel. Its use will also be a great barter item for your neighbors and friends. Most vehicles and the fuel to run just will not be common place during a collapse.
haha Jesus ... In the worst case scenario, we'II have three hour energy bIackouts. I'm fairIy sure the washing can wait for a few hours. The scaremongering here is on an epic IeveI.
My daughter always asks…. “When shopping, why do you always buy doubles of everything” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 No matter how I explain it, She just doesn’t get it…..🤷🏻♀️
Repair kits for clothing and shoes, extra shoe laces, glue, duct tape, wd40 etc. spare light bulbs, matches/lighters etc. scissors, disinfectant or bleach tablets (liquid doesn't store well).
I think pressure canned meats and veggies will be a good idea for future lengthy power failures where freezers and fridges will not be functioning any more. Investing in a pressure canner is worth while. I did so recently because food preservation may become an issue.
Watching news coverage of how people behave over a limited number of cut price TV's and toasters in Black Friday sales will give you an inking of what to expect when there isn't enough food in the stores to go round.
We've got a Berkey filter, and just in terms of filtering water from the tap, it makes a massive difference to quality and taste. I'd recommend. There is also an alternative UK brand, but i cant remember the name though sorry! (but the actual filters are about half the price of the US Berkey ones) and they are compatible with each other. Edit: Update, the UK alt is called British Berkefeld
Berkey has not been nhs tested for anything. They may make perfectly safe tap water taste better but Berkey does nothing for questionable water in a shtf situation.
@@uptoolate2793 actually if you read the info included with the filters you'll see they did rigorous lab testing for filtering out heavy metals, bacteria etc. I would be lost without mine because the water that comes out of my tap ranges in colour from yellow to brown and my Berkey filters it all out.
I usually have a rule of 3 with most things. 3 sources of getting/having water, 3 of cooking meals, 3 forms of lighting etc. It's worked well with the storms, cyclones and pandemic.
Today I got a little brochure in my mailbox from the government. It was about preparing some items, food, water in case of emergency. This is not common for the Swedish government to get out information like this. They probably worry about what is coming.
When on the move or going outside in the winter/ cold months, a really good hooded waterproof and a good pair of wellies is priceless. I tend to go for darker colours but if you're somewhere where you might need to be seen (e.g. off-piste skiing, lone trekking) a brighter colour like red, fluorescent green or yellow can be wise. You can also buy waterproof socks! They're not very comfy, but they are very useful in wetter situations when crossing fjords etc. especially when you might need shoes with a bit more traction than wellies (e.g. long distance cross country running). :)

We live in a cold climate. Minus 30 is not uncommon.We decided to go with industrial clothing made for people who work in big freezers.Tried it out last year at 35 below and it worked great. They are also really well made. A little pricey, but will keep us alive.
Have you watched any of Lars videos from Survival Russia. He is from Denmark and married to a Russian lady. They live out near the forests. He did a review on a sleeping bag recently (not sponsored) and has many reviews on his channel as well as lots of interesting things. ua-cam.com/video/B8xYbqAm2Mc/v-deo.html
@@livingitup9647 When I lived in England,I worked as a rep for a large frozen food distribution company, and the guys working in the freezers had this clothing.That is where I got the idea from.Now I live in Canada and the coldest we have had was minus 42 c. When I got this gear I went out with just a t-shirt and shorts under this clothing in minus 35c.It did extremely well.As long as you can live with most of it only available in blue, it seems a good choice.The arctic clothing they sell here, you pay $1000 just for the coat, whereas I got the full kit for under $800.
Buy lifelong straw, readily available, I've been prepping for 2 years after listening to various channels. Whilst I can't chop wood, I've got a woodburner and wood, long life food, and matches, candles. A tip a regular walking friend said, wear a thin pair of gloves covered by a thicker pair when outside. If you need to take off the bigger pair, your hands will be covered and still warm to use them with the thinner pair on.
I’d add a HAM radio and instead of a roll of sheet foil I’d use foil takeaway trays, which are much more compact when folded and can also be used as mess tins. Multi-use items are the key.
I've been preparing seriously since 2008. I love hearing other people's list of what to have in case things go south because I'm always looking for what I've forgotten. Yours is a very good list of the basics. Thanks for sharing.
As a soldier and now veteran of 20 years and former military survival instructor I must say all if your suggestions are spot on correct and valuable. I’ve also seen horror ms all over the world from Bosnian Civil War in the 1990s and Invasion of Panama in 1989 society will break down and people will indeed do desperate things they normally wouldn’t do. A suggestion for those who cannot get Mylar bags anymore, a cleaned out plastic Pepsi or Coke bottle will keep rice stored well for up to 2 years . 👍
3 monetary faults and their fixes. Our world has 3 fundamental practices that are problematic. If we dont understand the root causes of a problem we will address the symptoms or actors, not the causes. The 1st is that large private and Central banks have obtained the Exclusive franchise to create ALL new Currency as Debt, with interest attached. An increasing population needs an increasing currency, but it is all created as debt bearing interest. This indebts the whole world, every person, every government, in totally unpayable debts, enslaving us all to bankers through personal debt or ever increasing excessive taxation, surcharges, permits, licences, registrations, regulations, fees, rates, duties, fines, levies, adinfinitum, of which an increasing volume goes straight to the debt creators, who created it for free. (At zero cost to themselves.) 2nd. Virtually no limitation plus fractional banking allows banks to effectively create massive new Currency volumes, blowing massive bubbles (in housing/stocks) which devalues everyone's savings, work, pension by raising all prices. Meanwhile taxation creates artificial demand for fiat currency. The fix ? Go back to Sound Metalic Money and stop all banks and financial institutions loaning out more than they have on deposit. Return legal currency creation to national treasury departments with a zero Inflation policy. This will not create inflation like some bankers/economists would like to have you think. It is not WHO creates currency that drives the constant devaluation of your money & work, it is THE VOLUME per population and productivity. The banks increased the base currency supply by over 65 % since March 2020. This is further multiplied by fractional banking. You can't spend it off planet, and we've had no increase in population or productivity. How can it not devalue our savings, wages and retirement funds by at least 50% as it enters the economy ? 3rd. Fiat currency whether paper or digital has no intrinsic value, thus it cannot be used as a long term store of value, particularly in an ever expanding fiat system. The fix ? Return to constitutional Silver, Gold, Copper & Nickle currency, designated by weight not cents/dollars. These will find their own local value. These can't be printed to oblivion, have intrinsic value, and are a safeguard against selfish human nature. Continue to keep the manufacture of Gold & Silver rounds by private mints & foundries to help keep the government mints honest as to premiums. Do not allow bankers and economists trained in the current system to con you into believing there isn't enough Metalic Money. You mix 1% gold, 99% copper, you have a Gold backed currency. Same with Silver and Nickle. Mint 10th ounce, 2 10ths, 5 10ths and 1 ounce. Never give it a 'value number,' which is always a lie. Give it its weight & purity, and let the market place decide what it will buy. Call it 'slow money" like 'slow food.' It's slower for sure, but it's 10 times better for you. Necessary to nationalise mines & pay shareholders out in metal. Correct these 3 Principles and >80 % of a nation's problems would disappear. Do not allow your masters the Debt slave creator's to tell you it can't be done. It is easily done. Beware. The WEF wants you totally enslaved with Digital currency. Convert your garbage fiat currency into Gold and Silver or prepare for destruction.
Fleece and wool blankets have different pros and cons. The reason the military chooses wool is generally for fire resistance that fleece does not have. That said if I were to get both wet, ring them out and make a choice of what one I am going sleep under, I would choose fleece. I have a couple of each so I have choices, as well as cotton sheets so I can use the wool without it irritating my skin.
When I first moved into my house and it the heater wasn’t keeping up I was freezing. I got 2 fleece throws. One under, one over. I found that soft things feel warmer.
Please consider British Berkfield for water filters - the Berkey’s are a scam as recent expose of their test results (or lack thereof have shown) I own a British Berkfield and have had no probs for 10 years. No financial interest
One should pay extra attention when your prepping channels start talking about finances, and your finance channels start talking about prepping. Thank you Neil, and goodluck every one.
Feet are a big deal in Cold weather and Neil mentioned wool socks but Please PLEASE if your feet sweat include Wicking socks to put on under your wool socks . Keeping moisture off your feet keeps your feet intact and keeps you mobile.
Don't forget your Bible, the nails and hammer. Zip ties, parachute cord, grains to make fodder if you have livestock, and flour. Always with the hull for long term storage, fruit plants, wild edibles books for your area, extra shoes, shoestring, boots, rain gear, extra tool handles.
Neil is being very cautious about self-defense due to censorship on UA-cam and Britains ridiculous laws. You cannot even use pepper spray in Britain for self defense and the largest knife you may carry is 3 inches. Gun laws are very restrictive. I guess this is where the axe comes in. Obviously having a gun, a large hunting knife and some bear spray would be really helpful.
I’m so grateful to have come across your video! As soon as I noticed the brand on the rice bag I was relieved. I’ve been looking for a supportive group for UK preparing awareness and haven’t been able to find many people at all. I have so many questions. I’m after a pressure canner not from the USA. And looking for inspiration on where to British people store items in our small-ish homes (compared to the USA) Anyone know of a group where we could support each other here in the UK? Many thanks! Emma
Emma, there is a lot of room under the beds! You can use shallow boxes or storage containers that are designed to roll under the bed. They will hold a lot of canned food. We keep our toilet paper stash in our bedroom closet.
Good tips. Be wery cautious with tea light candles, Especially lighting many of them and place them close together could be disastrous. Explosion risk.
Great video Neil. I’ve been preparing the best I can for awhile and pretty much have everything on your list apart from the wool blankets and socks 😊. Also worth having Coconut oil, bicarbonate of soda and some essential oils. You can make your own deodorants and toothpaste from these 3 things in case you run out.Powdered eggs and milk. Stock cubes, herbs and spices. Camping stoves and a whistling kettle and gas canisters just in case. Castile soap as someone has already mentioned is a must.
Hello Neil, just watching now so I don't know if you'll mentio this in your video... Berkey has two class action law suits going against them as their labratory results had been completely falsified. I was hoping you would mention alternative water purifiers. Best to you, love your channel.
We really appreciate you taking the time and effort, to give your much-needed advice. I'm currently writing down the things we don't have or can get more of. Thanks
Thanks Neil for a super comprehensive survival list. I would like to make two more suggestions. Two great things for mental health and stress relief,; musical instruments and any kind of art materials. I have two children under 12 and these would also be in my kit. 😇
Thanks for the advice Neil. My next door neighbor had a stroke and was told a 5 hour wait for an ambulance, so her daughter and disabled husband had to man handle her to get her to the car and drive her to hospital themselves. She was then transferred from Shrewsbury to Telford by ambulance and had to endure a 7 hour wait in the ambulance outside the A&E department. This was in Shropshire, UK. She's still in hospital now 3 weeks later. The NHS in UK seems to be crumbling 😞
A 12 hour wait is now standard. The waiting lists went from 2.5 million before lockdown, up to 7.5 million now. '8 Strikes and your out' is how the nhs ration treatment. You will receive 1 strike for the following: aged 50 or over, smoker, obese, diabetic, autistic, ongoing illness, etc etc.
Some form of defense. Weapons. Sandbags. Wood and nails for baring windows and doors. Vitamin pills. Extra pairs of shoes Bike work gloves Rucksacks walkie talkies.
Regarding the use of a whistle to raise the alarm. It surprises me how few people know the Morse code for SOS, short short short long long long short short short. This can be blown on a whistle, but I we need to educate everyone to recognise the sequence. Might be worth mentioning this in one of your videos. Thanks for all your wisdom. Kind regards Andrew.
Love your channel - frank, informative, practical and objective. None of that ideological nonsense that's prevalent out there in the mainstream media. Thank you for sharing. As for the CBDC - it's definitely coming, even here in Australia. Tried to make a large purchase with cash last week, and banks simply refused to hand over our money, and we kept getting interrogated. Stay blessed.
@@worldofenigma1 This is true. Make housing small enough in the form of a large insulated plastic coated corrugated box with a stand off pallet underneath and it could be dropped in a parking lot designated for homeless housing. And once the homeless addict expires both could just be incinerated.
All good advice. Personally I think it’s important to keep in mind that stored provisions are a stop gap measure. If you don’t have a fall back to stored provisions you will go through those provisions and cycle back around to the panic state. Being able to produce food could be your salvation. It generally takes about three years to learn the basics of gardening before you can produce some of your own food. Many people would object saying they live in the city and can’t grow food. What that actually means is, depending on what you think is going to happen, among your first priorities is to get out of the city. Don’t be like the naysayers during the coved crisis who rushed to the market to get things they need only to find that every person in town was at the market. Then they accused others of hoarding and some even become violent. A sustainable lifestyle is the best provision.
I've gardened most of my life, but 2022 was not a good year for it. Still planning for 2023 garden. Just be aware that you may fail through no fault of your own, and keep trying!
@@nancybrewer8494 around here we see a lot of those wide and spreading con trails behind most jets most days. What many call chem trails. I’m not too quick to jump on the conspiracy band wagon but the last few years we’ve had almost no insects, not many birds and almost no weeds. Not that I mind the weeds but if wild mustard and mallow won’t grow something might have changed in the environment. It’s got me wondering if maybe it isn’t time to leave planet earth. I don’t think just getting out of California would be enough. ( kinda kidding)
Cheers Neil McCoy Ward! Been prepping 90% what you have last 18months to 2 years, my family thought I was mad but EVERYTHING I predicted has happened as I said it would over last 3 years and I thought the crash energy and food emergency would come last year so started prepping then but luckily I was wrong Unfortunately I was right just a year ahead in terms of the total collapse and it's going to be much worse than Imagined which was my caveat.. I said if it dont collapse last year when it does it'll be even worse and I wasn't wrong! Love your channel mate you see things EXACTLY as I do and I worked in financial markets all my life! Shame family gave me no credit when I told em what's coming!
Can smell it around the corner. I guess with Good vision we get to see things better. Definitely over did a few things, time will tell, but it looked like coming much earlier. Gotta watch the fear porn 🤔😉
Fantastic video ... well done. Solid, common-sense, down-to-earth, practical prepping advice. Given it's coming from someone who generally talks about finance/economics etc ... perhaps a few more people will sit up and pay attention. Use this as a base-minimum, people ... there's lots more you can do once this solid platform is in place.
Sharpening, and many other things discussed here, is a SKILL that must be LEARNED and PRACTICED. It isn’t hard once learned but can be very FRUSTRATING to learn. Go to any woodworking forum and just look at the number of post on it. Best practice is KISS- keep it simple stupid. The stones he has are good. It is also another reason not to get expensive exotic hard steels for your tools.
It is not “doom and gloomy”, it is the reality facing Europe this winter. They are prudent items to keep about at any time, but this winter will be rather austere, it seems.
Neil, a few more points I would add: Water: you should have access to a water collection system (rain collection) Food: so your stash lasts longer, learn to grow food ASAP. Skills: learn some useful task or freshen up an old trade you‘ve learned. Practical work will be valuable. Trade: create a local group of people you can barter with. Trade your time 1:1. it’s non taxable!!!!! Stop worrying, get prepared! Be prepared to help people psychologically when the s hits the fan. Play it through in your mind now. That will prepare you psychologically for the time to come.
No army skills have 98% from list dont have axe 😅. I would offer camping gas stove and buy some gas from store just for emergency as you sayed:) if posible tazer or peper spray just in case 😅 . From books Bible NR 1. The rest is gardening but main once is for most common house illnesses. And do it now do not wait for Christmas.... Do not buy stuff you do not use daily. God bless you all, no matter the problem Jesus is always with you. So prepare but be happy for every single day you have lived.
Great video, have all of the items but one. Especially noteworthy was you G.I. can opener. Still have mine, weighs a few grams and works well. Served from 1974 to 2005. Younger soldiers don't know C rats (combat rations), just MREs, aka, meals regurgitated easily. Thanks for your great and timely advice.
Great list Neil. I would add paper plates and disposable cutlery to save on water, also there is currently a shortage of Amoxicillin (especially for the infants/children) and Prednisone in the US. Ladies don't forget about your personal supplies, birth control and that TP.
I rarely use TP… Purchased lg pkg of microfiber clothes from SamsClub or Costco. Cut into quarters, then each cut in half again. That’s 8 pieces per cloth. 48 towels to a pack times 8 equals 404 wipes, that can be washed and reused. At the beginning of the pandemic, I learned”I’m not fighting over TP, ever”!!! And they’re soft 😊 And there are personal care item that are reusable and clean up very nicely for the menstrual cycles…
I really hope you get to read this. I started listening to you about March 2020 and convinced my husband that we needed to buy a woodstove. When the unusual snows happened in Texas, my friends mother who lived in an assisted facility was without power for a week and it was in the 30s in their building. This was the second kick in the pants to get the stove. Today I’m sitting in our enclosed porch with my woodstove going. I’m so glad we took your advice because on July 4 of this year my husband passed away. I have such a sense of peace because of the stove.
Sorry to hear about your husband, I'm so glad you got the stove xx
🌹
at least the stove remains F
Sorry for your loss. I lost my husband too this year. We installed a woodburner did years ago. Best thing ever. They have risen in price and are hard to get now, and harder to get workmen who are able to install. People are now in position of waiting until Jan Feb for installation!
@@Briardie What country are you in?
We have been "Preppers" in a low key, English sort of way.
As a former Royal Marine I fully understand the importance of preparation.
The single most important item in our decades long collection of supplies is our "how to..." library.
The ability to store information is what separates successful long term survivors from the dead.
Thanks for the hard work on your UA-cam channel, we don't miss any of them.
Perhaps one of the most useful comments….You can use your garden to keep you alive but it isn’t about just seeds! Start learning to garden NOW. Took me three seasons before I began to feel any sense of confidence. I would add that in our northern climates, as in Britain, a greenhouse is worth more than you would ever pay ..it adds a couple of months to your growing season. It’s something you can buy now….

@@mrme3717 when the system is the problem you dont change people in controll or single mechanics of it, you delete the system, civilization means control and it comes from fear, as long as we believe the illusion that we are some kings or gods and have to control the world as it would be ours, as long we suffer under it, no tribal culture world wide had any problems we had. If the civilization starts, it goes uncontrolable into always faster and more destructive mode, i cant go into detail because i must write a book here but thats fact, the need for control which is essential a lack of reality and trust is what creates this big lie, which changes nothing because in the end we eat,shit adn sleep like any other animal and than went to dust again, its man not accepting that he is not god, that we are in constant change and cant hold anything.
@@tutorialchief we build systems due to natural specialisation.
Do you understand this.
We dont all want to be goat herders, horse trainers, blacksmiths, seamstress, doctors, miners, carpenters. So 'systems ' are inevitable.
Government is also inevitable, because organised co-operation is the most beneficial to all, and you might say, the way of heaven.
So the systems need Sound Principles.
Agree. I love my how to books!
I am going to add, since many people can't afford to buy water filtration units, there are videos that teach you to make you own using very inexpensive materials, especially those that are directed to poor nations. Same with other things that are essential, like for example, for cooking. I have been preparing since dad (and us) was station in German during the cold war with the Soviet Union (as in mostly Russia), when WWIII was peeking even then and the Berlin Wall was being built. I'm now an old woman, close to 76 years old, and I can attest we are at a very dangerous moment in time. You can bet I have spent my life paying attention. Very evil people want most of us gone, regardless of nation. No one is safe!
Carmen, I agree with you on this genocide. The smaller the populace, the easier it will be to enforce their wicked agenda. I knew this plan way back in the 70’s but didn’t know how they would bring it to fruition. I am a believer in the Word of God but as the prophecies play out it’s a daily battle to stay one step ahead. I believe the King Jesus will snatch His own away to safety at a certain point in the Rapture but we have to be prepared until He does. I’m 70 today.
@@heatherthompson3670 I believe with most of what you say BUT not with "snatch his own away". You have to remember what happened to the early Christians, many were slaughtered, some were fed to wild animal, while the enemies watching them being killed. Yet, for that same reason Christianity grew. People saw just how people were willing to die for what they believed to be the truth. I do not expect it to be easy, but I believe I will survive to see it change. Have know that since I was a child. You have to listen, not just to think it will be easy.
@@carmenortiz5294 well it’s ok to have a different viewpoint. I’ve believed in the pre trib rapture since childhood and it’s only been reinforced over time. The reason I can’t change this view is because they are putting stuff in folks bodies now that change their genome and the Mark is likely to be AI so that explains the inability to buy or sell without it and being lost for eternity if a person takes it. The persecution is already happening and I believe that those who die as martyrs in the Trib will be those who turn to Christ after the current saved folk have gone. We will know who is right soon enough. I was always prepared to accept death for my faith in Jesus. Either way, we’re going Home soon. Our Glorious Hope.
@@heatherthompson3670 You are prepared to accept death for your faith, yet you have decided that the ones that die as martyrs and those who turn to Christ after? Don't you see what you are saying? You are not willing to die for God (Christ is the son of). Even Jesus said, I come in the name of my father. You have it all turned around the ones willing to give their LIVES are the true believers, you just want to have an easy ride and not sacrifice your own little self. What a joke!
@@carmenortiz5294 no point getting stroppy over this Carmen. It is not what we ‘think’. It is how we interpret His Word. I have already suffered as Christs for a lifetime. It wouldn’t be so hard for me to face martyrdom as my life has been excruciating from start to finish. This is not a ‘subjective’ subject. God has said and God will do. It is not about the ‘Me’ but about His Word which says that He will rescue us from the Wrath that is to come and that is what He says. God bless you.
I've been stuck for several days with no tap water due to frozen water pipes before - Here's one small tip for this situation - Have some paper plates in your stash - they don't need to be washed and can also be re used for a fire.
@paula Harris good one 👍
Lifelong straws are expensive but you can use them wherever
The first rule of prep club ...is don't talk about prep club ....be the grey man looking as broke and hungry as everyone else

How anyone can take exception to your content, even if it differs from your "usual" content is baffling! Love everything you do on the channel Neil, I have learned a lot (especially from your 3 part great depression peice) your channel is what social media channels should strive to be, informative, honest, & challenge you to think. 👍
One hint! Plastic tops off products like Bisto gravy, they fit on tins of beans and cans of that size, good if you are only using half of a tin to preserve what’s left in the tin for a few days. I save all tops of different sizes for that purpose.
Great tip thank you!
This is so smart😮
Thanking you good tip
Neil for president...
yes plz hahah
100%
Listening to your list, I’m proud to say I have everything on the list for 10+ years I’ve been expecting this time in our world. I would add games especially if there are children around and comfort food you just can’t do without. I.e. coffee chocolate etc.It really helps keep the stress down.
Sugar, coffee, chocolate, tea are good bartering items as well!
Same here, been telling people about this since 2013, the writing has been on the wall for a long time now. Paper, books and games are important for mental well being.
Instant coffee keeps for longer than beans or ground coffee
I have to share something with you… if you put the bottom of a tin can ( the part that is soldered together) and rub really hard on solid rock or concrete it will open. No can opener needed.😂
Ability and supplies to sew, modify, repair shoes, clothing and bedding
When buying wool garments, read the tag to make sure the product is at least 50 % wool.
If your wool items shrink you can soak in conditioner and they will be able to be pulled back into shape
Wool, wool, wool!!!
Excellent advice! Thank you for your service, I had no ideas! I am a prepper and you’re list is phenomenal. Super simple items people should have anyway. I didn’t need a single thing on your list only because I’ve worried about issues for a long time and have been really preparing since 2019. Best part is everything that year was super inexpensive. Do not wait to get busy. I’m retired law enforcement. Don’t tell anyone what you’re doing. Ever. They will remember the second they realize they’re in trouble every conversation they’ve had with anyone who is preparing. If I could add anything to this list it’s build a cheap cinder block rocket stove you can learn to make in 10 minutes on UA-cam or purchase one online. I have a homemade one that boils water in minutes and a smoke free one I paid $150 US dollars for that is super good quality. I can cook anything with this. Learning skills in cooking and foraging also. I live in the mountains and on every hike once a week I look for foragable foods I can identify. You’d be amazed at how many things you can eat. Lastly if you want a highly nutritious food that you can grow anywhere without need for any good soil or watering, purchase purslane seeds. Purslane is what you think of as a weed that grows in sidewalk cracks. It’s got a spreading kind of branch with leaves like a portulaca or a succulent type leaf. You can add the leaves to a stew or salad. I grow this on purpose and no one will ever know it’s by design. They’ll never believe or suspect it’s actually one of the most nutritious foods on earth. When it flowers let it and then save the seeds when the pods start to open. Pray for the unbelievers who don’t know Jesus. All of this stuff is in the Bible and it means we are in the birthing pains around the world.🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🌎
Great information thanks
You forgot a Bible! 😉👍 my number 1 on the list 🙏
Should gather them all to keep warm to burn 👍
Number 1 is knowledge. Making tools,fire, fresh water, clothes, shelter... 2 good foot wear. 3 family skills. 4 Hope, faith,trust, and justice. 5 is a belief in something bigger than you. Good luck 🤞
If you are planning to start a garden next year I suggest building the garden, adding soil amendments, compost, mulch, and any other infrastructure in the FALL. This way you can concentrate on planting in the spring and get an earlier cool weather crop with out having to build the garden at the same time. Fall is a good time to have your soil tested so you know what your soil is lacking and add what is needed now so you are ready to go at the end of winter.
Very smart!
Added mushroom compost to my best already and planning on building two more beds now in Nov. Looking forward to a great planting season. Looking at grow lights for my seed starting and found I love yellow zucchini better than squash and zucchini so that will be a new one this year.
3 monetary faults and their fixes.
Our world has 3 fundamental practices that are problematic.
If we dont understand the root causes of a problem we will address the symptoms or actors, not the causes.
The 1st is that large private and Central banks have obtained the Exclusive franchise to create ALL new Currency as Debt, with interest attached.
An increasing population needs an increasing currency, but it is all created as debt bearing interest.
This indebts the whole world, every person, every government, in totally unpayable debts, enslaving us all to bankers through personal debt or ever increasing excessive taxation, surcharges, permits, licences, registrations, regulations, fees, rates, duties, fines, levies, adinfinitum, of which an increasing volume goes straight to the debt creators, who created it for free. (At zero cost to themselves.)
2nd. Virtually no limitation plus fractional banking allows banks to effectively create massive new Currency volumes, blowing massive bubbles (in housing/stocks) which devalues everyone's savings, work, pension by raising all prices. Meanwhile taxation creates artificial demand for fiat currency.
The fix ?
Go back to Sound Metalic Money and stop all banks and financial institutions loaning out more than they have on deposit. Return legal currency creation to national treasury departments with a zero Inflation policy.
This will not create inflation like some bankers/economists would like to have you think. It is not WHO creates currency that drives the constant devaluation of your money & work, it is THE VOLUME per population and productivity.
The banks increased the base currency supply by over 65 % since March 2020. This is further multiplied by fractional banking. You can't spend it off planet, and we've had no increase in population or productivity. How can it not devalue our savings, wages and retirement funds by at least 50% as it enters the economy ?
3rd. Fiat currency whether paper or digital has no intrinsic value, thus it cannot be used as a long term store of value, particularly in an ever expanding fiat system.
The fix ?
Return to constitutional Silver, Gold, Copper & Nickle currency, designated by weight not cents/dollars. These will find their own local value. These can't be printed to oblivion, have intrinsic value, and are a safeguard against selfish human nature. Continue to keep the manufacture of Gold & Silver rounds by private mints & foundries to help keep the government mints honest as to premiums.
Do not allow bankers and economists trained in the current system to con you into believing there isn't enough Metalic Money.
You mix 1% gold, 99% copper, you have a Gold backed currency. Same with Silver and Nickle.
Mint 10th ounce, 2 10ths, 5 10ths and 1 ounce. Never give it a 'value number,' which is always a lie. Give it its weight & purity, and let the market place decide what it will buy.
Call it 'slow money" like 'slow food.' It's slower for sure, but it's 10 times better for you.
Necessary to nationalise mines & pay shareholders out in metal.
Correct these 3 Principles and >80 % of a nation's problems would disappear. Do not allow your masters the Debt slave creator's to tell you it can't be done. It is easily done. Beware. The WEF wants you totally enslaved with Digital currency.
Convert your garbage fiat currency into Gold and Silver or prepare for destruction.
Further, If you are planning on growing your own food you need to try growing the foods you want beforehand.
Not only do you need the right environment and soil conditions, but you even need the right microbes in the soil, an entire crop can fail because a microbe it needed didn't exist in the soil it was seeded in. Now you can get your soil tested which is rather expensive or you can just try growing what you want and see where it will and wont grow.
@@givemeanameman1 good point. I agree. I have told people to start gardening so that they can discover which crops grow well in their gardens. There are many factors that contribute to success or failures. I can’t grow carrots and beets because little rodents eat them! But I can grow parsnips like crazy and nothing touches them. There are a lot of things that we can learn by practice. I could probably build raised beds and have better luck with some crops.
Thank you Neil. I live in Australia which usually has plenty of sunshine and I have found cheap solar lighting to be very handy when the power is cut off and for security. Placed outside by day and bring them inside as many of them have motion detection sensors. $10 or $12 Australian dollars.
This is really good advice. I hope people are taking it seriously here in the UK.
I am but I have been prepping for over 20 years, so the kit has built up over the years. I have everything on his list, plus a few more items. Now working on a kit using the list for my daughter who lives 200 miles away, who doesn't even own a simple tin opener (hers is electric, but no good without power) I will be delivering a box full of stuff to her next week.
I'm afraid from my perspective they aren't, I have been telling all my family and friends to stock up on food and any long life items since the pandemic as they would only get more expensive but they, even now after 2 years of constant price increases and when we are on the brink of a harsh winter and potentially ww3 they still say I am being dramatic. I don't know what to say except ignorance is bliss.
@@markbooth1117 wonderful Mark - I too have built up a lot over 7 years - a lot of the supplies are for 'blind and deaf' family - Im pretty badly disabled but have also stocked a lot of gardening stuff. I don't hold out much hope for surviving what's coming but I hope this blesses my estranged loved ones 🙏
They most definitely aren't prepared, people are clueless
Look around they clearly think it’s all make believe and rather go get a new Audi to look the part
Don't forget gaffer tape, it's great for a quick fix for anything, tents and emergency roof tarpaulin. Tooth floss for hanging washing of clothing, airing out bedding,a good serrated small knife for cutting anything from bread to soft metal. I have used these items for myself and can guarantee they work.
Yours is the first comment I’ve ever read that mentions gaffer tape and, frankly, I’m surprised more people aren’t talking about it. I stumbled across gaffer tape several years ago and I absolutely love the stuff - will never go back to duct tape.
Don’t forget to learn about the plants around you and how you can use them. Plants that are high in saponins, such as English ivy or soap wort, can be boiled and the water used to wash your clothes.
Also oak twigs are very effective toothbrushes. They are antiseptic and help prevent gum disease. The bark of oak can also be boiled and the tea treats diarrhoea, something that would be useful if you drink unsanitary water or eat bad food by mistake.
If you’ve been walking for a long time and have pain in your feet, plantain leaves put in your shoes will ease swelling therefore making you more comfortable, this is a remedy native Americans used and I have tried myself so can confirm it works. Plantain is also edible (although I wouldn’t eat the feet leaves), a tea treats hay fever and the fresh leaves can be applied to insect or plant stings, irritated or infected skin (it has strong ‘pulling out’ properties that will clean a wound). If there’s an infection I would combine a mixture of herbs. Yarrow is also extremely useful for wounds.
@@despoticmusic hell no! I’ll stick to using the insects as bait for fishing👍
Foraging and learning about local plants is really useful.
@@despoticmusic 😂😂😂 good one 👍

Ok, so I’m not a conspiracy theorist type of person - but where the hell has my original reply gone?
One thing you missed was a vacuum sealer. Most people use them to keep meat fresher longer but I use mine for flour and instant loaves of bread asda sell. Just add water. I've got a British Birkfield gravity water purifier which I use everyday. It's the only water I drink. I started prepping as soon as I could, knowing the fiscal expenditure of the government would cause a crash down the line, especially the distruction of small businesses. Dried pulses, pasta and rice are essential plus something to flavour them with, oxo cubes etc. I'm far from wealthy and it's been slow going. The water filter was expensive but essential, I've also got spare filters. You can build your own from 2 large tubs and a spigot as the Yanks say. There's plenty of videos on UA-cam. Pray for peace but prepare for war as Neil says. Hunger will breed savagery so be prepared to defend your house regardless of our insane laws. Stock up on tinned food too. I haven't got a lot but I will be sharing with family who've ignored my constant warnings but what can you do. Hard Times are coming so do what you can. Even having a months supply of food puts you far ahead of most people. God bless you all.
@@johnhummus2519 my adult children aren't prepped either but I would never allow them or my small grandson to go without. I am prepping dor them also! Maybe it's a "Mum" thing! I wouldn't wish to survive if my family starved - through ignorance or not
@@PREPPER65 maybe Im just harsh these day's 😮💨
@@johnhummus2519 I couldn't eat if they were hungry John. At least one of my sons has been buying silver for a while to trade and some tinned food. The eldest one just doesn't listen. I've got an air rifle for small game a couple of crayfish traps and edible plant and fungi books. I've got a tiny garden but even this year I planted tomatoes and potatoes down the side. Next year I'll have a bigger patch down the middle. Bought gardening and herb books too. I think it'll get to the stage where you won't be able to walk your dog unless you take precautions if you know what I mean lol.
I won't be standing in line for soup and I won't take the chip in the hand. I don't blame you for feeling like you do especially if your like us and wouldn't take part in the great experiment despite the constant fear mongering. Hopefully things won't be as bad as we think but America is nearly out of deisel and that will cause all manner of robbery and violence. I believe this is all deliberate as per agenda 30.
Best of luck brother and Granny prepper. 🙏👍🏻
If things go wrong I am moving in with you Neil!
Thinking of Army supplies, when I was very young my mother bought my clothes from
the Army & Navy stores.
It was no fun going to school dressed as a Japanese Admiral (I had all the medals!!).
I am moving with Neil and wife as well. 😆 🤣
😂
Yes.. Me too !
Infact, why hasn't Neil +wife set up a community for us all to join? 😁
This is EXACTLY why he moved to an island - he knew people would want to go to his house. The Admiral thing was great!
😂
I think an all purpose fire extinguisher and a couple of fire blankets are not a bad idea given the fire/candles side of things. I just recently bought both - felt a bit ashamed that I hadn't thought of getting them years ago cos you never know when you might get an electrical appliance fire or whatever. Never mind, it's done now eh. There's always something else to add to the list I guess, we just have to do what we can.
Matches
@@sarahandnapoleonodomjr.6912 Yes, we have long ones for lighting fires, and short ones for candles - stored in plastic to avoid dampness. Also the cooker lighters are good - piezo for gas appliances, and the ones which give a naked flame as an extra back up. Cigarette lighters. Lighter fluid to refill the previous methods. Ferro rods. Magnifying glass. We can go on and on lol. Get anything you can, I say!
Criminal Bill Gates who seems to be in the know says expect five difficult years ahead. So I would make sure to get minimum of 5 years of resources and food.
Neil you could add these to your list - sewing kit/sewing skills, string/twine/rope & glue (super glue can even be used to close wounds - we do this during shearing if an animal gets cut), greenhouse - to grow seedlings early, plus extend your growing season, gardening needs skills - learn how to seed save as once your seed supply runs out you may need to be able to save your own & also grow heirloom varieties as they produce seeds that are true to type. Preserving skills, you need to know how to dry/can your excess produce for Winter. Solar garden lights are cheap & can be used inside at night if need be. Rain water tank/s to collect & store clean water, you can get thin ones that fit along the side of your house if space is limited. Spare car engine parts like filters, spark plus, fan belts etc as supply shortages already on these sorts of things.
Remember the rule of three’s. 3 minutes without air, 3 days without water, 3 weeks without food, and 3 seconds without 3 shoulder buttons, you’ll be in trouble.😉
For the uneducated what's with 3 shoulder buttons?

@@despoticmusic Yeah. What does the 3 buttons do?

@@ipenguin3918 The 3 buttons was just added sarcasm pertaining to not forget to watch Neil channel (wearing 3 button sweater)
Thank you, Neil. I've got all these items and a few more.
You will also need:
1. Shoes - multiple pairs of walking/running shoes as well as durable boots
2. Protection - all types of options here. If you use firearms, you'll need to make sure to have lots of ammo and cleaning supplies.
3. Comfort/hobby items - help to maintain a sense of normalcy. Yarn for knitters, paint & canvas for painters, pencils & paper for sketches, etc. Also having extras of favorite snacks, blankets, teas, etc.
4. Entertainment - provides a distraction from daily stressors. Board games, cards, etc.
5. Hand-held walkie-talkies/radios provide local communication systems when cellular is down
6. Storage containers for small things and larger items. You won't be able to run to the store and get ziplock bags. Start collecting plastic or glass containers now. You can use the large gallon-size glass containers to store dry goods for decades by adding a few bay leaves and keeping in an ambient, light-reduced environment.
7. Luxury items are excellent for bartering. Coffee, tea, chocolate, alcohol, tobacco, OTC meds, etc. These will be very hard to find and as valuable as silver to some people.
8. Tires/treads for vehicles and bikes.
9. Spices - this will help normalize eating beans and rice for extended periods if you can change the taste.
10. Know your neighbors. Everyone has a skill set that can be utilized in an emergency. This will also help you be prepared in knowing who to trust and who to watch.
Hope this is helpful. Keep up the good work!
the best protection you can have is situational awareness and community. no weapon would have saved me at all when a lady tried to murder me with her car last year but i was able to get away in 1 piece because I was trained in how to actively scan my environment. You cant buy yourself out of a crisis. You have to have skills that you can apply and practice with often, usually things that are mundane most under value like being able to bake/cook without a recipe, being aware of your environment and collecting information then apply it to parts of your lifestyle so its never a surprise when you need that skill
You know whats crazy? Me sitting glued to the screen watching this and enjoy this topic… 2022… that is crazy. Well Done Neil👍
Neil just might be the most polite 'doomsday prepper' out there! Love it!
This is literally my way of life and has been for years so I dont have to specially prepare but one thing you havent mentioned which is not only extremely important food source I feel, is raw honey from beekeepers. For me it is medicine and also currency that holds tremendous value. It has no expiry date if stored correctly, in dark cool dry place. I have 40 kgs of honey right now in different locations, it is one I simply cant do without.
I was in the military too for a while, only in the ranks though. I think you might be missing something from your list, sir, something we used to carry around with us all the time. Being able to fight and defend yourself was a big part of bing in the army.
I thought that was what the skillet was for 😆
Not everyone lives in the US mate.
What was the axe then??.?….
Boom stick, and freedom tickets!! 💪😁
I agree, you will need something more than an ax. Even a .22lr is worth having over nothing.
@@youwebz so make a slam fire. One shot is better than none.
I introduced my neighbour to a mini gas cooker that takes inexpensive(atm) little gas containers - saves loads on electricity already! Your advice today is precious! Every prep over time has been useful as we encountered unexpected bumps in the road! Better to begin in the simplest way now. Ps…don’t forget Pencils / Art Supplies and Cocoa for morale while they are available 😢
That’s good but I went one further I bought the Coleman dual fuel stove and when the gas bottles run out that litre of petrol will run for most of a week of cooking
We stocked up on the movie classics on DVDs and a small DVD player as a reminder of the good times. It takes very little power from the solar generator and provides some diversion.
Don't forget to stock up on shoulder buttons also! Neal always makes sure he has at least 3 at all times.
3 is the magic number
3 is 2, and 2 is none.
To the untrained eye they may look like harmless shoulder buttons but in the right pair of hands they can be lethal weapons. Never turn your back on a man with 3 buttons, just saying.
They're musical buttons, he's a human flute.
we love Neil....buttons and all..
As far as medical goes. In the army they taught us. Really Big Boobs Should Fit Both Hands. RBBSFBH. Responsiveness, Breathing, Bleeding, Shock, Fractures, Burns, Head injury. When assessing someone injured this is the order you should focus on.
90% of people are about to be forcibly humbled 😒 The prepared will become targets! Look and act poor/hungry, stay frosty and you might survive 🤔
And wear a dirty, garish sweater in public.
baggy clothes to hide any "healthy" weight
And get thinner. You don't want to be the only chubby person walking the streets - I tell the husband this 😋
@@wtywatoad Garish sweater will have people looking at you. You need to blend in and not talk about your preps.
This is true. You dont want to be the only house in the street running a generator with all your lights on when everyone else has had no power for three days.
0) HAVING A SMARTPHONE : communication, backup light, and navigation. 14) Emergency medical kit : focus on patching severe life threatening injuries : cat tourniquet, leatherman raptor, israeli compression bandage. For superficial little things most of the time you can wait hours or days and let them go. So the most important is to have things that matter in seconds or minutes : maybe a defibrilator? have an oxygen meter, maybe something to take blood pressure, and a gps to give accurate information to the people that will come and help you.
Castile soap is worth having. Can use to wash your hair, hand wash mixed with soda crystals and bicarbonate soda to make clothes washing liquid.
Neil, this just gives me another reason to love your channel. Great info. Even after so much is said about prepping, and getting ready for problems, you know there are many, many people that are just getting the message. Good job, and thank you for your service. You obviously took it seriously, like myself. Be safe.
Community, we have to care for our community. You can have all the gear in the world, to what end if you're just sat there alone. Find a farmer, support them, in the UK our farmers and farms are under threat. It's clear you are well-prepared, most are not. Humanity is under attack, WEF etc. We have to stand together.
you cant pay your way out of every problem. most problems are resolved by actions with applied skills and know how.
Hi Neil .... love your show. As a retired Canadian forest ranger, the one thing that people tend to forget is transportation to help you carry water home, get you to a good fishing spot, carry your game home, get you to a farm and carry the produce home, etc. etc. A good little Honda 50 or 90 will take you to hard to get places and back home again for a year on 10 gallons of fuel. Its use will also be a great barter item for your neighbors and friends. Most vehicles and the fuel to run just will not be common place during a collapse.
A brilliant and comprehensive prep list. Thank you for this video Neil. God bless you
If you do not have heat, use a tent INSIDE with sleeping bags. 🌼
haha Jesus ... In the worst case scenario, we'II have three hour energy bIackouts. I'm fairIy sure the washing can wait for a few hours. The scaremongering here is on an epic IeveI.
Don't forget having a backup for your item in case
something happens to it.

Repair kits for clothing and shoes, extra shoe laces, glue, duct tape, wd40 etc. spare light bulbs, matches/lighters etc. scissors, disinfectant or bleach tablets (liquid doesn't store well).
I think pressure canned meats and veggies will be a good idea for future lengthy power failures where freezers and fridges will not be functioning any more. Investing in a pressure canner is worth while. I did so recently because food preservation may become an issue.
Watching news coverage of how people behave over a limited number of cut price TV's and toasters in Black Friday sales will give you an inking of what to expect when there isn't enough food in the stores to go round.
I would also add learn food preserving - canning, fermenting, dehydrating and get the supplies and tools you will need for it.
We've got a Berkey filter, and just in terms of filtering water from the tap, it makes a massive difference to quality and taste. I'd recommend.
There is also an alternative UK brand, but i cant remember the name though sorry! (but the actual filters are about half the price of the US Berkey ones) and they are compatible with each other.
Edit: Update, the UK alt is called British Berkefeld
Please can you share a link?
Berkey has not been nhs tested for anything. They may make perfectly safe tap water taste better but Berkey does nothing for questionable water in a shtf situation.
@@uptoolate2793 I got one and have wondered about that!! Filtering red dye is one thing but...
Thanks for that information. The Berkley filters have gone crazy in price
@@uptoolate2793 actually if you read the info included with the filters you'll see they did rigorous lab testing for filtering out heavy metals, bacteria etc.
I would be lost without mine because the water that comes out of my tap ranges in colour from yellow to brown and my Berkey filters it all out.
I usually have a rule of 3 with most things. 3 sources of getting/having water, 3 of cooking meals, 3 forms of lighting etc. It's worked well with the storms, cyclones and pandemic.
You mean plandemic!
Today I got a little brochure in my mailbox from the government. It was about preparing some items, food, water in case of emergency. This is not common for the Swedish government to get out information like this. They probably worry about what is coming.
Worry? They helped create it
When on the move or going outside in the winter/ cold months, a really good hooded waterproof and a good pair of wellies is priceless. I tend to go for darker colours but if you're somewhere where you might need to be seen (e.g. off-piste skiing, lone trekking) a brighter colour like red, fluorescent green or yellow can be wise. You can also buy waterproof socks! They're not very comfy, but they are very useful in wetter situations when crossing fjords etc. especially when you might need shoes with a bit more traction than wellies (e.g. long distance cross country running). :)

When I got this gear I went out with just a t-shirt and shorts under this clothing in minus 35c.It did extremely well.As long as you can live with most of it only available in blue, it seems a good choice.The arctic clothing they sell here, you pay $1000 just for the coat, whereas I got the full kit for under $800.

2 yrs buys a lot of time to improvise!
3 monetary faults and their fixes.
Our world has 3 fundamental practices that are problematic.
If we dont understand the root causes of a problem we will address the symptoms or actors, not the causes.
The 1st is that large private and Central banks have obtained the Exclusive franchise to create ALL new Currency as Debt, with interest attached.
An increasing population needs an increasing currency, but it is all created as debt bearing interest.
This indebts the whole world, every person, every government, in totally unpayable debts, enslaving us all to bankers through personal debt or ever increasing excessive taxation, surcharges, permits, licences, registrations, regulations, fees, rates, duties, fines, levies, adinfinitum, of which an increasing volume goes straight to the debt creators, who created it for free. (At zero cost to themselves.)
2nd. Virtually no limitation plus fractional banking allows banks to effectively create massive new Currency volumes, blowing massive bubbles (in housing/stocks) which devalues everyone's savings, work, pension by raising all prices. Meanwhile taxation creates artificial demand for fiat currency.
The fix ?
Go back to Sound Metalic Money and stop all banks and financial institutions loaning out more than they have on deposit. Return legal currency creation to national treasury departments with a zero Inflation policy.
This will not create inflation like some bankers/economists would like to have you think. It is not WHO creates currency that drives the constant devaluation of your money & work, it is THE VOLUME per population and productivity.

Call it 'slow money" like 'slow food.' It's slower for sure, but it's 10 times better for you.

I find the fleece blankets work way better than wool. If you sleep on top of one it really warms you up.
Fleece and wool blankets have different pros and cons. The reason the military chooses wool is generally for fire resistance that fleece does not have. That said if I were to get both wet, ring them out and make a choice of what one I am going sleep under, I would choose fleece. I have a couple of each so I have choices, as well as cotton sheets so I can use the wool without it irritating my skin.
When I first moved into my house and it the heater wasn’t keeping up I was freezing. I got 2 fleece throws. One under, one over. I found that soft things feel warmer.
Please consider British Berkfield for water filters - the Berkey’s are a scam as recent expose of their test results (or lack thereof have shown) I own a British Berkfield and have had no probs for 10 years. No financial interest
I got one too and wondered if ours was same. Glad to hear your comment.

Feet are a big deal in Cold weather and Neil mentioned wool socks but Please PLEASE if your feet sweat include Wicking socks to put on under your wool socks . Keeping moisture off your feet keeps your feet intact and keeps you mobile.

Thank you Neil for the continuity on your Knowledgeable advice
Neil is being very cautious about self-defense due to censorship on UA-cam and Britains ridiculous laws. You cannot even use pepper spray in Britain for self defense and the largest knife you may carry is 3 inches. Gun laws are very restrictive. I guess this is where the axe comes in. Obviously having a gun, a large hunting knife and some bear spray would be really helpful.
It's been so good to have you back sir 🙂
I’m so grateful to have come across your video! As soon as I noticed the brand on the rice bag I was relieved. I’ve been looking for a supportive group for UK preparing awareness and haven’t been able to find many people at all. I have so many questions.

Anyone know of a group where we could support each other here in the UK?
Many thanks!

Emma, there is a lot of room under the beds! You can use shallow boxes or storage containers that are designed to roll under the bed. They will hold a lot of canned food. We keep our toilet paper stash in our bedroom closet.
A much needed episode. Thank you Neil!
Good tips. Be wery cautious with tea light candles, Especially lighting many of them and place them close together could be disastrous. Explosion risk.
Great video Neil. I’ve been preparing the best I can for awhile and pretty much have everything on your list apart from the wool blankets and socks 😊. Also worth having Coconut oil, bicarbonate of soda and some essential oils. You can make your own deodorants and toothpaste from these 3 things in case you run out.Powdered eggs and milk. Stock cubes, herbs and spices. Camping stoves and a whistling kettle and gas canisters just in case. Castile soap as someone has already mentioned is a must.
WOMEN: cloth sanitary pads. BABIES: cloth diapers & plastic pants-plus much more!!
Hello Neil, just watching now so I don't know if you'll mentio this in your video... Berkey has two class action law suits going against them as their labratory results had been completely falsified. I was hoping you would mention alternative water purifiers. Best to you, love your channel.
I use Zero Water. It comes with a separate water tester.
I wasn't aware, thanks for letting me know!
Thank you!
@@NeilMcCoyWard Glad to have passed something on to you.
@@lilly3068 Your welcome.
We really appreciate you taking the time and effort, to give your much-needed advice. I'm currently writing down the things we don't have or can get more of. Thanks
You can make a water filter with a bucket and an unglazed flower pot. Put a cork in the hole and the water will drain through the pot.
Yes, I've seen that and a second one for heating with candles. Actually, get a few since they work very slowly!
Good hiking shoes, fire starters
Don’t forget bug sauce and cricket crackers
Is that you Klaus? lol
Still have my my "Lofty Wiseman SAS Survival Handbook" I had when I was a kid .
I have two...regular and urban sas guides
@@choochalah Urban SAS? Does it use Urban UK locations?
Me too!
Me too
Thanks Neil for a super comprehensive survival list. I would like to make two more suggestions. Two great things for mental health and stress relief,; musical instruments and any kind of art materials. I have two children under 12 and these would also be in my kit. 😇
Thanks for the advice Neil. My next door neighbor had a stroke and was told a 5 hour wait for an ambulance, so her daughter and disabled husband had to man handle her to get her to the car and drive her to hospital themselves. She was then transferred from Shrewsbury to Telford by ambulance and had to endure a 7 hour wait in the ambulance outside the A&E department. This was in Shropshire, UK. She's still in hospital now 3 weeks later. The NHS in UK seems to be crumbling 😞
Sounds like horror tales from the very third world. Wish her a quick recovery.
Yes...my mum was left for over 10 hours.....I dont even called them the NHS...they are more like private company giving us a very poor service.
I had to take some one to Shrewsbury A&E recently. 8hr wait. It was so busy, people were sitting on the corridor floors!
A 12 hour wait is now standard. The waiting lists went from 2.5 million before lockdown, up to 7.5 million now.
'8 Strikes and your out' is how the nhs ration treatment. You will receive 1 strike for the following: aged 50 or over, smoker, obese, diabetic, autistic, ongoing illness, etc etc.
Excess deaths are currently around 15-20% higher than normal across Europe. Perhaps this is why they are so busy?
Some form of defense. Weapons.
Sandbags.
Wood and nails for baring windows and doors.
Vitamin pills.
Extra pairs of shoes
Bike
work gloves
Rucksacks
walkie talkies.
Regarding the use of a whistle to raise the alarm. It surprises me how few people know the Morse code for SOS, short short short long long long short short short. This can be blown on a whistle, but I we need to educate everyone to recognise the sequence. Might be worth mentioning this in one of your videos. Thanks for all your wisdom. Kind regards Andrew.
Agree
Love your channel - frank, informative, practical and objective. None of that ideological nonsense that's prevalent out there in the mainstream media. Thank you for sharing.
As for the CBDC - it's definitely coming, even here in Australia. Tried to make a large purchase with cash last week, and banks simply refused to hand over our money, and we kept getting interrogated.
Stay blessed.
I think the CBDC will be related to the mark of the beast, in the Bible. All transactions recorded forever. No privacy with the blockchain. Watch out.
twenty five brands of beer, a lawn chair, a radio, welder glasses, lawn chair pad and padded coffin

less space to heat in a coffin than a normal house
@@worldofenigma1 This is true. Make housing small enough in the form of a large insulated plastic coated corrugated box with a stand off pallet underneath and it could be dropped in a parking lot designated for homeless housing. And once the homeless addict expires both could just be incinerated.
Contractor bags make excellent rain coats or even a regular coat should you need!! God Blesz!!
Ok I got these and I still have depression
😂
You won’t be happy until you have nothing.

By that standard, I must be ecstatic. as I already have fuxx all
@@Theflyingpotato Schwab was right.
All good advice. Personally I think it’s important to keep in mind that stored provisions are a stop gap measure. If you don’t have a fall back to stored provisions you will go through those provisions and cycle back around to the panic state. Being able to produce food could be your salvation. It generally takes about three years to learn the basics of gardening before you can produce some of your own food. Many people would object saying they live in the city and can’t grow food. What that actually means is, depending on what you think is going to happen, among your first priorities is to get out of the city. Don’t be like the naysayers during the coved crisis who rushed to the market to get things they need only to find that every person in town was at the market. Then they accused others of hoarding and some even become violent. A sustainable lifestyle is the best provision.
I started a modest garden three years ago. It is an uphill battle but the flavors are in another category compared to store bought veggies.
I've gardened most of my life, but 2022 was not a good year for it. Still planning for 2023 garden. Just be aware that you may fail through no fault of your own, and keep trying!
@@nancybrewer8494 around here we see a lot of those wide and spreading con trails behind most jets most days. What many call chem trails. I’m not too quick to jump on the conspiracy band wagon but the last few years we’ve had almost no insects, not many birds and almost no weeds. Not that I mind the weeds but if wild mustard and mallow won’t grow something might have changed in the environment. It’s got me wondering if maybe it isn’t time to leave planet earth. I don’t think just getting out of California would be enough. ( kinda kidding)
Cheers Neil McCoy Ward!
Been prepping 90% what you have last 18months to 2 years, my family thought I was mad but EVERYTHING I predicted has happened as I said it would over last 3 years and I thought the crash energy and food emergency would come last year so started prepping then but luckily I was wrong Unfortunately I was right just a year ahead in terms of the total collapse and it's going to be much worse than Imagined which was my caveat.. I said if it dont collapse last year when it does it'll be even worse and I wasn't wrong!
Love your channel mate you see things EXACTLY as I do and I worked in financial markets all my life!
Shame family gave me no credit when I told em what's coming!
I have been prepping since 2010 and my adult children now are convinced that I am talking nonsense.
Can smell it around the corner. I guess with Good vision we get to see things better. Definitely over did a few things, time will tell, but it looked like coming much earlier. Gotta watch the fear porn 🤔😉
Fantastic video ... well done. Solid, common-sense, down-to-earth, practical prepping advice. Given it's coming from someone who generally talks about finance/economics etc ... perhaps a few more people will sit up and pay attention. Use this as a base-minimum, people ... there's lots more you can do once this solid platform is in place.
Sharpening, and many other things discussed here, is a SKILL that must be LEARNED and PRACTICED. It isn’t hard once learned but can be very FRUSTRATING to learn. Go to any woodworking forum and just look at the number of post on it. Best practice is KISS- keep it simple stupid. The stones he has are good. It is also another reason not to get expensive exotic hard steels for your tools.
baking soda and vinegar for washing clothes (they don't end up smelling like vinegar )
It is not “doom and gloomy”, it is the reality facing Europe this winter. They are prudent items to keep about at any time, but this winter will be rather austere, it seems.
Neil, a few more points I would add:
Water: you should have access to a water collection system (rain collection)
Food: so your stash lasts longer, learn to grow food ASAP.
Skills: learn some useful task or freshen up an old trade you‘ve learned. Practical work will be valuable.
Trade: create a local group of people you can barter with. Trade your time 1:1. it’s non taxable!!!!!
Stop worrying, get prepared!
Be prepared to help people psychologically when the s hits the fan. Play it through in your mind now. That will prepare you psychologically for the time to come.
No army skills have 98% from list dont have axe 😅. I would offer camping gas stove and buy some gas from store just for emergency as you sayed:) if posible tazer or peper spray just in case 😅 . From books Bible NR 1. The rest is gardening but main once is for most common house illnesses. And do it now do not wait for Christmas.... Do not buy stuff you do not use daily. God bless you all, no matter the problem Jesus is always with you. So prepare but be happy for every single day you have lived.
I think Baby Wipes should be on this list. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with all of us.
quite we bought several packets to save on water . its crazy but no choice .
meant to say only if needed not now .
Antibacterial ones would be more ideal.
The baby wipes clog up septic systems
@@tobybrown1179
They should be thrown into the trash, or burned.
@@sweeta17 not crazy at all. Quick and no water needed
Great video, have all of the items but one. Especially noteworthy was you G.I. can opener. Still have mine, weighs a few grams and works well. Served from 1974 to 2005. Younger soldiers don't know C rats (combat rations), just MREs, aka, meals regurgitated easily. Thanks for your great and timely advice.
Great video Neil. Also, most canned goods are good well past expiration dates when there are no dents, bulges, leaks.
If you get caught out with no tin opener you can just rub one end of the tin back n forth over rough concrete & the lid eventually pops off.
my chickens are gonna make me rich,fresh eggs anybody??? only £14.99 each 🤣🤣
Theyll all be nicked with everything you own too
We have all our preps, now we have to protect them from the starving, freezing, unclean, angry hordes....
Great list Neil. I would add paper plates and disposable cutlery to save on water, also there is currently a shortage of Amoxicillin (especially for the infants/children) and Prednisone in the US. Ladies don't forget about your personal supplies, birth control and that TP.
I rarely use TP…
Purchased lg pkg of microfiber clothes from SamsClub or Costco. Cut into quarters, then each cut in half again. That’s 8 pieces per cloth. 48 towels to a pack times 8 equals 404 wipes, that can be washed and reused.
At the beginning of the pandemic, I learned”I’m not fighting over TP, ever”!!!
And they’re soft 😊
And there are personal care item that are reusable and clean up very nicely for the menstrual cycles…
Hi Neil. Berkey is getting some bad publicity lately, so please do your homework before making a purchase ;)
