LOL Leisa! "Who am I kidding....In my opinion, you can't have too much anything." EXACTLY RIGHT!!!!!
Saran Wrap. You can wrap your dishes with it before you eat and then take it off and throw it away afterward. The dishes will still be clean so you don't have to waste your water washing dishes.
Now THAT is a great idea!
hahahahahahahaha My Uncle Earl said he'd turn the plate over and eat from the other side because washing them was women's work.
Great idea!
Good idea
Awesome idea!
I saw someone that took regular boxed matches and put them in a mason jar with sand paper on the lid to struck the matches with. When not using put the sandpaper on the inside of the lid to keep it dry.
Excellent idea!
I did that too
Also a hand held can opener! Just in case the power is out and you don't have home canned food.
A good knife can be used as an opener, practice use one
@@Gemini_1970I have a ton of military ones. Keep one on my key chain.
Great idea! I buy them whenever I see them at yard sales and thrift stores. They're usually $1. We also bought a huge box of the military ones. I put them under the plastic top on the #10 cans.
Extra pairs of prescription glasses.
Hubby and I keep all of our old glasses. We have 4 back up pair each.
Oh yes!!
Extra glasses and repair kit, extra pocket knives, extra ammo, hatchet.
Holly Troyer gott’m!!
Suttons Daze he’s blind without them and I’m not much better.
Home made fire starters.i did an experiment with dryer lint.. I put vaseline on a batch ,shortening on another and shea butter on a batch.. I lit each batch outside while Raining and To my surprise the lint with the shea butter stayed lit the longest in wet weather.. I bagged them all up.but made more w the shea butter.. also my matches I get at the dollar tree I took and lit a candle and dunked my matches in the wax to water proof them..they work great👼
Thank you!
Dessi Cantor The matches actually light after being covered with wax?
Diane Tucker - you have to scratch a bit of wax out of the way before you light them, but they work fine.
We're the cotton balls real cotton or the cheeper rayon cosmetic puffs?
I’ve been saving my dryer lint also. I poke it into old toilet paper cardboard rolls. I need to stuff the ends with share butter covered cotton balls❣️
A good knife...very important...and a can opener.
May sound silly and possibly "frivolous ", but grow lights, because I have a feeling they are going to go the way of canning jars when it is time to start your seeds.
I found tomato, thyme, butternut squash, dill and parsley seed at Rural King yesterday. Bought several of each. They also had zucchini and watermelon seed left. I have LED grow lights. Great idea about thinking ahead.
I am a seed saver, and i got some dragon tongue beans from baker's rare seeds in July that are dated for 2021.
Cotton balls (cheap) and vaseline (petroleum jelly). Fstest fire starter I have ever used. Put a bunch of petroleum jelly in a zip lock, add cotton balls and squish them around well. Then take one out and light that fire! Also, save you left-over wax from candles, bees, etc. Melt it, soak your cotton balls in it and let them dry. Now you have another sure fire way to start that fire. Shalom and Blessings from Missouri.
Paula Jo Davis don’t waste your money on the cotton balls, dryer lint works great.
You can also use dryer lint in cardboard egg cartons and dribble with wax, excellent fire starter.
Depends what your clothes are made of. Dryer lint from cotton is best. Some of those synthetics don’t light well.
I use my old clean medication bottles to store the cotton ball fire starter in.
Great video! Thank you! Without reading any comments the thing I was always taught to store is fuel. My dad said to have a few gas cans full of gasoline (we live on a ranch). We always had a huge gas tank when I was growing up and that’s where we filled our cars. He also taught me to have my fuel tank above half full. When it gets down to half full - fill it up. Then he gave us $100 bill to put in our wallet not to spend but to save in case of an emergency.
You dad is a wise man. Remember what he says. Take care from England. 😎🐺☮️👍
Don't forget gasoline doesn't stay fresh for long
Love and Life Awesome Dad!
Hot water bottles if you take care of elderly disabled parents. If the heat goes out you can boil water on a camp stove and fill the hot water bottles. Place one at feet and one beside them. It will help them maintain a consistent body temp.
E K , I had the same thought when I purchased mine
E K
you can also use canning jars with tight lids to keep hot water in. Wrap towel around it with safety pins.
And a Bible to keep hope alive.
AMEN. should be a number 1!!!
I have a small bible in my bug out bag. I'd even recommend a ziplock bag to keep it safe.
You're absolutely right. Too many people forget their spiritual preps.
And Baking Soda! Great for many things, such as toothpaste, deoderant and cleaning. For deoderant, add to a stable oil, such as coconut (or anything like it that is shelf stable in a pinch) and a wee bit of corn starch and you have a PERFECT non-aluminum based deoderant. Add your fav essential oil to it if you wanna smell purdy.
Batteries, flashlights, oil lamps, /oil, candles. battery portable radio. Coleman stove/ butane.
Coleman double propane fuel burners are great. For apartment dwellers, the single burner butane gas stoves are great (Coleman and other brands) - easy fit on a balcony or even in your kitchen (fresh air recommended, at least an open window)
Don't forget the extra wicks for the oil lamps.
Theresa D got it ty
I am finding kerosene works better and lasts longer than butane. Pros? Cons? I’m still learning but that’s my experience so far of a month cooking with no electricity.
I would add work gloves and garden gloves. Thanks for all you do I’ve learned a lot watching your videos. I’ll be binge watching your canning videos and many others. I just received my first canner. I hope I don’t blow up. Anyone who’s looking I got it at Shell Lumber it is a home improvement store in Miami Fl. I ordered online and got it a few days later.
Although I'm passed the age of needing them, I keep feminine hygiene pads in my first aid supplies. They would be good as an emergency gauze for wounds.
Tampons (the really small, no-applicator kind, like OB) are very good for nosebleeds.
FIRST OF ALL THANK THE LORD THAT WE CAN GET THINGS ! HOW ABOUT SOME WET WIPES? WHEN MY GRANDSON WAS IN IRAQ HE REALLY APPRECIATED THEM. ALSO SOME SHAMPOO THAT YOU JUST APPLY AND TOWEL DRY!
Janice Kirk also excellent pressure bandages!
That's a very good idea. I'll add sanitary pads to my list.
Save toilette rolls and put lint from dryer inside good fire starter. Or vaseline on cotton balls.
I use the toilet rolls with dryer lint stuffed inside and a healthy dab of Vaseline or melted canning wax on each end all the time! It was a left over from my Boy Scout days. It is a super fire starter regardless of whether it's wet or dry out. I keep them now for my firepit, but always have extras for emergencies.
The lint out of your dryer is great for starting fires!
Propane tanks, 1 pounders and 20 along with mr buddy heaters, adaptors for them to heat a small area of your home should power be lost and you don't have access to wood burner, generator. If its really cold in your house or location the tarp, extra blankets made into a tent or an actual tent can be used to help keep you warm with the mr buddy heaters. Aluminum foil can also be used around a flashlight/candles/lantern to reflect more light as will mirrors of course. I have a bucket full of different types of matches, lighters, lighter fluid. Extra socks, gloves and hats to help retain heat in the cold weather.
Great idea on the bucket of cold weather gear! That's going on my list! Shalom!
Love your energy, humour & wisdom. Great list. I see people adding all sorts of great items - I suggest plastic coated gardening wire & jute... I carry a meter of both in my EDC (the wire has filled in for a broken suitcase zipper 'handle' and makeshift 'airport security friendly lock', jute filled in for shoe lace (matched white sneakers better than my black paracord 😁) & is a good fire starting item, both can tie plants to whatever, etc).
Don't forget comfort items- my go to is chocolate! I also have caramel popcorn, hot chocolate mix, flavored coffee, nuts, pretzels, etc. Grab something that's a favorite of yours to soothe you.
Put a little dryer lint in each of the 12 compartments of an egg carton and pour a little melted wax over each. When it dries cut the sections apart and use them as kindling. Also, I’ve started cutting up our old T-shirts to use as toilet “paper”. We’ll deal with them the way we dealt cloth diapers back in the day.
Victoria Muir I just went through all of my sheets and found two that I don’t on that size bed anymore and one that had a hole in it but I saved thinking I might use it if I painted. I’m going to tear them down into strips for bandages, toilet paper whatever I need it for.
I am loving your prepardness videos. Thanks for caring enough to post this important info
Too many of us are experiencing this gut feeling that chaos and lack are on the horizon , we live in a four seasons state with Winter being the dominate and longest season so we naturally stock and prepare for every year however this year we are preparing for long term 2 or more years of supplies.
well then you sound prepared! I live in a 4 season state too, but we don't have such long term supplies. am trying though.
Whenever I pressure can and do not have a full canner load, I fill my canner with jars of water. This gives me some sterile water to put with my medical supplies. Wound care is important especially in an emergency situation.
Write down or type out numbers in your cell phone in case of a power outage. God forbid, an EMP attack happens. Nobody remembers phone numbers anymore. Consider faraday bags/cage(s).
Secure your home.
I have emergency numbers for family and medication information on a card that I laminated. Gave one to every family member carry.
I also load up on pet food. My 4-legged children never run out of food. Lately there has been some shortages in certain kinds and takes longer for the orders to come.
Solar lantern, solar flashlight(Amazon)rain gear- poncho, water proof / rain boots, off grid/ power outage toilet (5 gal bucket, bags, snap on seat - got our WAL mart camping aisle)
At my dollar tree, they have foil sheets and they are so handy.
I love those foil sheets!
Yes they are very handy!
I love them!
YARN ! Seriously yarn, Ammo for anyone who tries to take my yarn ! Did I mention yarn? Lol
My Granny used wool blankets for the filler in her patch work quilts.
You know, its odd, funny as well, older now, in my younger years, at yard sales, auctions, estate sales, I have always been drawn to buy the things my Mother talked about, like cast iron cookware. Dish pans, steel wash tubs, good cotton. Sitting around and listening to her and her Sister talk about their lives and growing up dirt poor, they always appreciated having good quality items that just continued to give back, as long as they are properly cared for. Now what was once bought for the "look" of vintage in my home, has become very important to just getting by.
I myself, so badly want to get out of this small city to a rural setting, even if its just a solid small cabin. Just shake off all the incumbency's of modern life, and all the debt and bills that come with that. So I continued to buy and stash away all those things, quilts, real down filled pillows, sheets, oh just all the things my Mom said they wished they would have more of back in the day. She and my Aunt would laugh then, and admit it was fun to improvise, and I guess by their laughter they were good at it too!
Hint, I have stacked up the phone books from the past 10 years now, and have it on good advice, the more you crumple up the pages? The softer that paper gets lol Old tools tell a story as well, and I have some, cleaned up and ready to use. Hand tools. Even the small metal oil cans, which have these long tapering spouts, you squeeze the bottom of the can a click to add a drop or two, one just never knows, do we?
Ahhh simpler times, no longer chasing after the expectations of the past, just being happy with those you love around you. Working together, laughing together. As one.
You’re adorable. Thank you for your videos
Tea candles. Provides heat and light. A can of crisco and a wick. A jar of petroleum jelly put in a tin can or jar for a light. Matches and extra wicks.
Love our cast iron, have used nothing else. Good weapon also lol.
Great info. Thank you! I would add white vinegar; it's great for a plethora of uses: cleaning; sterilizing; bug and rodent repellant, much more. And alcohol, which sterilizes anything. It's been a little hard to find lately.
If you need reading glasses stock up on a few pair. Stock up on cold cold medicines. 👍🐕🐾🐾🐈😄 God bless you and your family ❣️🙏
I include pet 1st aid supplies with mine. Great list Leisa. Your prepper vids are really helpful, thanks!
We save our dryer lint and put it in baggies for fire starting.
I save the dryer lint and toilet paper rolls and stuff the lint into the roll. Great fire starter!
HA HA, I was thinking the same thing, need to get rest of supplies for this. You can use petroleum jelly and make the flame last several minutes (good to start a fire).
PRINT STUFF. I printed out everything on my computer that I don’t want to lose or that I might need during an extended power outage. Recipes, travel directions, instructions such as how to preserve eggs in pickling lime, directions for making masks, etc. I also have a small address book that I keep in my purse that has all the addresses and phone numbers that are in my phone.
INVENTORY STUFF: I have lots of totes in my spare room that I use to keep things organized, extra blankets, seasonal clothing, off grid lighting, etc. Each tote has a wide strip of masking tape on it with the general contents written on it. For example, Medical Supplies, then I have a notebook that each page heading is the same as the label on the tote and then the contents of that tote are listed on that page. In an emergency if I am in a hurry and have to find something quick it’s easy to pick up the binder and reference the name of the tote. The totes and notebook also make quick work of knowing where stuff is and which ones would be important to grab and take with you if you have to evacuate during an emergency. Thank you for all the great videos!
@Debbie H Hi Debbie, If you have important documents on your computer and don't have a printer you can email them to yourself and then go to your local library, open your email on their computer and print out your documents. Most libraries will charge a nominal fee for printing a document, usually something like twenty cents per document or so. Also my inventory binder is actually hand written.
Alum is a good thing to keep in your first aid kit. It stops bleeding. You can find it with the spices or canning supplies. Love your channel. Blessings, Love & Hugs from Vicki in Ft. Worth, Texas 🇨🇱🇺🇸👍🥰🙏🙏
Alum is a good one - you don't hear about it too much anymore.
water purification tablets, water filtration system such as Sawyer mini, hand warmers, road flares, NOAA weather radio, spare shoe strings, road atlas, portable camp shower, walkie talkies, medical books, waterproof matches. Soooooo much more but you nailed a lot of them too. Great vid.
Excellent Video As Always. 💯👍👍😎🌞🇺🇸
A magnifying glass is very useful. It can start a fire if there's any sun. It can help with extracting splinters or getting grit out of somebody's eye. Some manuals have mouse print text and a magnifying glass can help decipher instructions or other information.
Drawing salve will easily withdraw those splinters painlessly!
I know I would benefit from learning how to clean those wool blankets. I have one from college that I don’t ever want to lose because it’s heavy wool. For a clothesline, I use a 50’ dog tie out line. It’s a heavy duty metal cable. I hitch it up from our fence post to the luggage rack on my car and carefully drive forward to pull it taut. I LOVE having a clothesline! Every home we’ve had I have to get creative so I can have a clothesline.
Cook books for baking bread etc incase wifi goes out
I’m sorry to hear you lost your mother, I also lost my mother this past summer. *hugs*
Me too. My mom passed in August and its kinda a blessing in disguise because now I dont need to worry about having to maintain her needs. She was very very sensitive to heat and temperature changes and often would have seizures due to temp changes. So I was extremely worried about how I would fulfill those needs if the electric is out. Especially when we live in a place that is often triple digits.
i make my own quilts , and they are not only beautiful, they are warm and comfy, too.
Me too
@@Diniecita wonderful Stephanie. Save the scraps for another quilt project.
I have sleeping bags I keep in case power goes out. I pull them out every so often, wash & put up for when needed. I have 1 for each bedroom. To save fuel, you can make a variation of the haybox cooker. Also there are plans for the wonder bag version. Wool is a great insulator. I purchased couple of wool coats to make a couple of versions of hay baskets. One is a woven basket that I can fit a stainless steel asparagus cooker in. I have a cloth hen on a board that I sit on it. This gives it a country look. No one would guess I can finish cooking a meal in it. It is just the right size for 2. In a grid down situation, leftovers might be a life or death waste of food. It is a good idea to practice making just what you need for a meal. Being prepared is more than just having stuff. God bless.
This summer my husband and I connected the downspout of our gutter off the back of the house to a metal 200 gallon water tank...it is full everytime it rains...its water and it can be boiled plus I have the brita water purifier. We have a well wo dont buy water bottles we use the Brita pitcher...the water taste great...so worth the money...
that is SO nice, we did that a few times, but we don't get much rain and very sparingly, so unfortuantely no water from that.
Yes, I do NOT buy water in plastic containers, I have a Berkey water filter and also LifeStraws (for when you are on the move).
I am fortunate that most water tastes okay to me whether filtered or not; the only water I remember being horrible was one of the natural springs that was very strong with iron - yuk; tasted like drinking from a metal can. the other springs in the area are very pleasant though - very mineral-y.
I wish I had a well!!!! 😔
@@mchrysogelos7623 I have wanted a life straw..that is a very handy item. God Bless and keep you safe🙏❤
Good list. I'm happy to say I have all the items you listed. What would I add -- clothes pins, and a tub suitable for laundry or bathing. A good tote would serve plus could be used to store supplies. You didn't mention clothing but appropriate clothing for your climate and extra bags of socks and undies. Shoes and boots ae something we cannot make for ourselves and are a necessity. Flash lights, oil lamps and extra batteries, fuel and wicks. A battery radio. I find dish pans handy for many uses besides washing dishes including personal hygiene, small laundry, carrying things and even as a baby bath tub. When camping I would use two pans one to wash and one to rinse. After doing dishes I would put dish soap into the rinse water and leave it set out for handwashing which saved a lot of water. Also, a Bible, happy ending books, puzzles, decks of cards, board games, a Frisbee, pencil/pen/paper, because in times of stress we need something to relax us..
I love the big, sturdy trash cans with the heavy duty wheels and fasten on lids. Great for much more than trash.
Love my cast iron! Rarely use my other pans. But then again, I have 6 different cast iron skillets and 7 different Dutch ovens.
A set of good tools .woodworking and automotive.
Another great one!! Please keep this series going!!!! ❤️
Adding..... unscented tea lite candles to go with manual fondue pots and stands.
Electrical tape! Great elasticity for multiple repairs.
Hair brushes
Aluminum/plastic dish pans
Paper and #2 pencils w/sharpeners
Essential oils... especially peppermint oils... learn to use them.
Steele wool
Net/mesh outdoor food/herb hanging dryers
Sun ovens
Clothes drying rack
Bolts of muslin and denim fabric
Heavy duty threads
Fishing line
Floral wire
Jute
Ground cloves for toothaches
Ground ginger for stomach woes
Vinyl tablecloths
Bulk garden seeds
Leather strands by yardage
Screws, bolts and nails
Water key, 55 gallon drums for water, shoelaces, mimi bottles for bartering.
Clay Pot heaters all you need are tea lught candles 3 4 & 5 inch clay pots washer nuts and a long eye bolt
Do they actually work? I'm contemplating on building a couple.
@@prepper6787 I don't know if they do but looking at UA-cam videos on it it looks very interesting
Also, a carbon monoxide alarm.
Second hand stores for cast irons pans and re-season them easy
Don't forget pet food and pet supplies
Cooler, duck tape , zip ties! I sensing a theme? Trying to get rid of a body? 😝
You would need garden lime. Actually, that cuts odors in out houses.
Hmmm. She said a large cooler on wheels......🤔
This is funny. If you're gonna buy these items on 1 shopping trip...make sure you have a good lawyer...just in case.
They will have you on video.
🤪🤷♀️😂🤣😂🤣
Better call Saul! lol
Yes!! For those men knocking on the door to force vaccinate us, or try to take our children away. Ok just kidding, not kidding,just kidding ,maybe not kidding....
Oh, and painter's clear plastic drop cloth. Cheaply gotten at hardware stores. Plastic sheeting is FEMA-recommended in case you need to cover your windows due to air quality issues.
I keep a small sewing kit, too.
Listerine! Not just a mouth wash it can also be used on wounds.
Awesome video, Leisa...and very different from what most other people offer up as 'must have' preparedness items. Thank you! I'd add repair supplies such as a good basic 2-step epoxy glue, weatherproof duct tape, super glue, a cheap roll of plumbers' tape, a staple gun and staples and extra all-purpose nails and a hammer.
Extra pet supplies and food. I was going to cancel my Chewy.com autoship. Not now. I've got to do either a Costco or Sam's club run soon. Ooh Raw Honey! Antibacterial properties and great for everything.
A couple of big Thermos bottles, wide mouth, if you are limited on fuel or heat sources they keep hot things hot and cold things cold. Also , again with limited cooking fuel or what ever, a well insulated Thermo cooker is worth it's weight in fuel , soups, stews, mac and cheese, all kinds of heat once and wait foods. A wrist blood pressure cuff for first aid.
If your on blood thinners you need to get bleed stop. In Walmart,Cvs Walgreens or on line. $4 at Walmart in camping section.
Glad to hear someone else who keeps a bunch of garbage bags. You cannot have too many!
Books on survival, first aid for humans and animals, foraging, etc. Even though it's easy to access the internet for it, if power is out or cell phones not working/dead, you still need some way to look up important info.
Blankets! Love it! My family always makes fun of all my blankets but they sure like to cover up when they come for a visit. At this point I a, not even concerned about the more expensive toiletries . It’s three years supply worth of everything I can.
Excellent advice! Just found your channel and subscribed :) I keep a jar by the dryer and keep the lint from the traps to use to start my fire.
Me too! And boy does it work well!!
Save tp tubes (or any other) stuff with dryer lint .. could put drops of wax on them = fire starters!
@@olliedynoduck that's a great idea!
My mom is from Buffalo. In winter she keeps one blanket per person in the car. Always have comfy shoes, umbrellas and a coat. You never know when you'll have to trek to safety.
Great points!!! didn't think of extra shoes or boots in the car!
"But mommy! I don't need a coat! It's just a few steps to the car..."
Never worked. Not once. I didn't have to put the coat on, but it had to at least be carried into the car. And she was so right! It might be a few steps you PLAN on taking, but what if the car breaks down and you have to walk to the next gas station. Or you're in an accident and spend hours waiting for AAA. Or caught in a traffic jam and have to turn the heat off to conserve gas.
Common sense breeds preparedness! Listen to your mom if you are blessed enough to have her!!!
Good list of basics. I need a cooler and another tarp or two.
Your list is great and others added excellent suggestions. I'd add glow sticks. When the power out great for adding a little light to a bathroom or hallway. Good for kids scared of the dark so they don't use up the batteries in your flashlights.
With the aluminum can shortage, I read that, in addition to any sodas, water, beer, etc, that aluminum foil would be hard to find in a couple of months (and an increase in price), so I am buying an extra roll every couple of shopping trips.
Gardening stuff - seed's ! Caning stuff. Sewing stuff - mending. Repair kit's for thing's - grill, stove, frig, freezer, boot's, ect... . Wash rag's for when the TP run's out. Then some fun thing's like game's, card's, coloring book's, puzzles, good reading book's. Candle's. If you can't grow it or raise it = stock up on it. Thank's for the video. Stay safe and healthy. God bless
Ziplpck bags of assorted sizes, disposable tableware, power banks/battery chargers especially solar
Stock up on sweets and baking ingredients(ex: chocolate chips, sugars, flour, shortening, etc.,). It would make your day and your families if you have something sweet to eat after a hard day or week.
Thanks to your channel I have everything on this list.
Hi, Leisa:
This is an especially good list. It will help anyone of your fans to begin thinking even if they haven't already begun. I particularly like the manor of the video in that you do not give too many specifics but more generalities (ie. Which foods or which first aid items, etc.). In getting everyone to think, it should help people to decide exactly what each individuals needs are. Keep up your great videos. I anxiously await each new one..
Thanks for sharing! I just restocked gallons of oil and a gallon of molasses
Does it ever end ? Just when I think I'm close then I realize that I am not . Exhausted on many levels !
Same here
I don't know what your "religious" affiliation is, if any, but one of the BEST pieces of advice I have ever seen is...you will NEVER have enough, no matter what you do. Practically speaking, we should prepare, but it would literally take a warehouse to contain everything needed to supply a family for an extended period of time. Ultimately, we need to trust God (if you believe in Him) to meet our needs.
I would add a box of those chemical toe heaters for deer season and ice fishing. I put a pair of them in my boots to keep my feet warm while in my deer blind or on a bucket on the ice. As long as I'm bundled up good, with a pair of toe heaters in my boots, I can stay outside in the coldest weather for a very long time.
It's true. If my feet are cold I'm cold. In the winter I always sleep with a hot water bottle by my feet.
I saw somw battery operated socks that keep feet warm, on amazon.
New York City supplies are doing well. I have been stocking up the past 3 months or so however because I don't look forward to going out in cold, wet weather or the snow and ice grocery shopping. Every time I go shopping I pick up something (groceries, household supplies, meds, etc). I'm good with toilet paper too thanks to Costco. My brother thinks I'm going overboard, but he'll be glad about the TP in January, LOL.
Thanks! Recently I purchased a solar pad to charge my cellphone in case the power goes out. I also got a solar flashlight 5-in-1 tool. A butane portable stove. Blankets I didn’t think of thanks!
yes, great idea, I got a rocket stove, a distiller, a sun oven, solar flashlight (which doesn't seem to be working right - not charging... ). I LOVE things like that (solar), etc. I always think of blankets, just glad I have LOTS of them- I never get rid of them! they can always be used for pets when they get way too old or rags, or to cover your garden during a cold spell, for picnics, etc. I don't have the butane stove, was think about getting one (very cheap - about 18 dollars) but the butane costs more.
We lost a very large old pine tree last winter, so now we have a lot of firewood! Keep prepping and stay safe!
Where did you find a butain stove? Can't find anywhere!
Great advice. Thank you so much!! I would add batteries and flashlights
That's a great idea!
I hav a crap load of blankets i bought at thrift stores. I carry 3 or 4 heavy ones in my car so i can really wrap up if needs if i get snow bound with food, water, bottle coffee ,couple 12volt liquid warmers, shovel n other stuff!!!!😸😸😸😸💞💞💞💞
Here we are November 2021 and here we go again, just now at higher prices
Thank you really appreciate your videos. I have learned some amazing skills from you. Just wanted to let you know to mention harbor freight you can get a free tarp with any purchase. I spent .99 and got a 10 x 10 free blue tarp and have used it for 3 winters to cover my windshield at night from ice. Bless you for all the help you provide with this great knowlege.
My hands and wrists are not strong enough to safely handle cast iron. I use stainless steel, instead.
I totally understand. Stainless is a great choice too.
If you have to cook over an open flame with stainless steel lightly cover the bottom of the pan with liquid dish soap. The soot will rinse right off. Old Girl Scout trick from an old Girl Scout.
@@ardethellis8930 lol from one Old Girl Scout to another, thanks!
@@AFrayedKnotMame ❤
I like stainless steel myself although if I had to cook outside, I wouldn't want to ruin my good stuff :D
I just read through the comments and one of the things the young adults are going to need is their birth control. Make sure you have several months worth and several months worth of back up-maybe a few differant types. And if you are planning to have a baby and an emergency SHTF is occuring - think in advance and take some classes on home delivery. Find out in advance on what supplies you will need and prep them. Being prepared in advance will make it less stressful till help can arive.
There are still Midwives in some areas.
Plus condoms have a ton of uses
Lol... got you beat. I have a blanket that I have had since I was 4 years old. It is well loved and nobody gets to use it but me!!
Good points. I have alot of blankets too. We also have 2 good tarps. I also carry blankets in my car you never know if you break down and may need them. And yes on the cast iron not only can they be used in the house but if you have to cook outside they will work on a grill (make sure you have good potholders those handles can get very hot).

I just found your channel and you're fantastic! So happy to have stumbled across you. 💕
Hi there. Thanks for your lists. I am in a large crazy western state and I am seeing the grocery shelves changing some, actually probably for the last 6 weeks at least. I am also seeing the stress is clearly getting to people here, everyone is ready to work the person that is the Gov has taken the role as if it was a throne- enough said. Cliff notes.. It is whack a doodle here.. coo coo pigeons. . Please keep putting a post or two in the next few weeks because this crap hasn't peaked yet. .
I recognize this state ;-). The Emperor of Olympia is my name for him. Are you aware WA state is stockpiling, aka hoarding food? www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/homeless/from-peanut-butter-to-applesauce-washington-state-stockpiles-tons-of-food-for-the-need-ahead/
Sounds like my area...our governor acting the same way coo coo 😝
California? If so, you're not alone.
Dollar Tree, has quite a few items, that are in short supply at the grocery stores & walmart. I picked up more shelf stable milk, aluminum pans, beans, rice, pasta, ALFREDO SAUCE, (No idea, why this is in such short supply lately.), tuna, and parchment paper.
Some sort of lighting...again whatever you're comfortable with. I love having an easy way to sort through all of the crazy. I'm starting to see limits going up again on many items and I'm grateful for these videos to help me figure out my next steps! Thank you and please keep doing them.
Hi from Maine! Loving your videos. I feel like you would be a family friend :) Cast iron is all I know! My dad taught me well :)
I use large heavy plastic kitty litter containers to store non potable water for washing, flushing toilets and the like
