Hurricane Katrina should have let people know that the government won’t be saving them when SHTF.
Or 9/11 or anything ever...
They never learn.
Watching the 💩 show after Hurricane Katrina was the reason the now ex-wife and I became preppers. Becoming preppers is why we eventually moved to the Ozarks. Thank you Katrina for the lessons.
Or when this recession turns into the greater depression.
Government is also normal people with families, so what do you Expect?
If shtf for real everyone will have to do by themselves. That should be obvious.
I live in my bugout location. Deep in the forest living in a log cabin in a area with a very low population. I've been prepping since 9/11. So I'm ready for anything, My family is welcome to come here, and they all know it. Thanks for the great video.
Lucky you - sounds amazing ❤
Lucky you!!🙏🏻🙏🏻
Can you take me in, I’ll do any work you require 😉
You will need to repel hundreds, if not thousands of people over time. Doesn't matter how deep in the forest you are.
@@nathanbigsby8731 I doubt that, people will sit in their homes dying waiting for government help. Just look how obedient everyone is with masks and lockdowns.
If cities went down. The people in the woods with nice cabins should expect a lot of visitors. Some would probably be worse than their relatives.
@Cast A Shadow your fence / guns might work on small group of unorganised people. But if they are organized. They will just wait for opportunity. Or what is more likely it will be hungry mob of hundreds of people and you wont be able to kill them all.
Oh and you cant just be on guard 24/7 you will be killed while sleeping or doing other maintenance like gardening.
A drone would be valuable to have living in the country, could see what's around the area and know what's coming ahead of time
@@jimlewis1332 hell im still trying to learn how to fly my drone

I thought we were all bugging out to Canadian Preppers place.
Isn't that part of subscribing?
Just kidding!
You're going to turn out like the meter reader guy a couple vids ago...lol
I would guess his house is trap, and he has secret bunker with live feed into his home ;)
I hear Normie has space in his place!
🤣🤣🤣
😂 😂, we wish
Just about every where people are even in the woods , lay low cause alot of people want what you have.
...and will be willing to take your life for it. Remember, people will run out of their psychotropic medication, at which time all bets are off🤔.
They will be legion. Lots of ammo needed.
@@seniletravel7171 yeah the woods are a favourite place of choice of junkies too, when they’re rattling it would be a bad place to be indeed
We will be targets because we do have supplies we may have to fight to keep our stuff 2-3 weeks until it quiets down due to weak people dying off.
I will be in the dessert, beach and or mountains
I am in Texas, I don’t plan on “bugging” anywhere. At 78, I’m too old to “ Bug”. If the “marauders” come to my neighborhood I will just take as many of them with me as I can and tell myself “it’s been a good run”
I hope you have some like minded neighbors that will look after you and help protect you when the time comes.
My plan exactly.
that will be only 1-2. You CAN get set up to do much better, if you're in reasonably good health
We’re both 71 and both have bad knees so walking long distance is painful and slow. We live in a very rural area, lots of “Beans and Boolits,” close friends, Military experience, Weaponry and skills. I will be explosively violent if pushed to shoot my way out of trouble. I’m resigned to finishing any threat, no mercy, no prisoners and no return threat. I have a motorhome and fuel stored, but that will only get us so far! Push come to shove I intend to Bug in until that option is not feasible. We are in a 2a Sanctuary county, great law enforcement and few but family know we have anything, food or ammunition, of value here. I am prepared to sustain my family’s safety at all costs. I’ve lived long and I’ve prospered and I don’t fear meeting the Lord but I intend to stick around as long as possible! Thank you for great content as always. Stay safe Brother!
Don’t come to Canada...it is -35*C here this morning. Welcome to Hoth.
We got a Extreme Cold Warning right now -29. Good thing we put in a new furnace 3 months ago, else we'd be popsicles :))))
The coldest it was in 18 years in my city was 6 degrees celcius I live in south Africa and every other day its 30 or 40 degrees
Unpreppared ppl coming to Canada end up Peoplecicles. during 6-10 months of the year. Depending on where . 😁
😂 and we moan about the “cold weather” here in the uk 😂
Don't worry i won't lmao. I like to be in warm climate. That's half the battle.
a good example of how harsh living in the wild is, the Canadian bird blue jay, it has a nomad life span of 2 to 5 years. but it was discovered that if they are taken care of out side of the wild they can live to 20 to 35 years. living in the wild shorted there life by 700% if you are gonna bug out, just remeber how hard it is
Your comment got me thinking. Because yes, life outside of our "domesticated" lives is harsher, and I know that alot of people would die while trying to adapt. But we're also the most sendentary we've ever been as a species and that in itself causes so many health problems. While our medecine has gotten better, our lifestyle has gotten worse. The main thing that use to bring humans lifespan down was childhood death, but once someone reached adulthood their life expectancy climbed up to like 70, which isn't to far off to where we are now. So with our modern day knowledge and a more primitive lifestyle, i wonder what would happen.
I might be misinterpreting some statistics I read, and I'm not really drawing any conclusions, but i think this deserves more research lol
Going by this I think my son will live to be 150 then ..His main goal in life seems to be stopping the couch from flying away
No worries you survive in a little tent in minus 35 in the canadian winter 😆.
@@bigtony4829 ever see the British TV series “Young, dumb, and Living Off of Mom” ?

@@raptorsan85 Can you blame a man farming easy XP?
I continue to be baffled by those who plan on being social… In the middle of a social collapse. I just don’t think they quite understand the situation yet.
Jamie you’re alive! haven’t heard from you in awhile - have you started your channel ?
My social plan includes mostly extended family and trust friends.
Being a lone wolf .... why ? who do my children marry should we all sit in a cabin waiting to shoot anyone who gets in range....?? Than there is no point in survival. There many be times when it would best be hidden but ultimately we will need to return to a society.
@@glen1arthur ikr!
@@glen1arthur Hi Glenn! Yep, still alive! Please allow me to elaborate. I am one of those people given to the concept that once you truly and fully understand the problem… The solutions become obvious. And with that being said, I really wish our favorite channels would adopt a philosophy of viewing these scenarios from the perspective of a timeline of events.
There may come a time in any given scenario when “social” behaviors might become appropriate again. But that’s usually further down the line than most care to acknowledge. If survival and risk management are core tenets of preparedness… Things like scavenging and bartering will be on the list of things most likely to get you killed.
In most scenarios… And their average corresponding timelines of events… When you need them the most, is when they are the most dangerous. Practically the most foolish thing a person could do at the time given the circumstances.
Bartering: Announcing to very traumatized and desperate people that you are in possession of the very things they are desperate to acquire.
Scavenging: The art of rummaging through other peoples possessions… On other people‘s property… In a time when people are terrified, desperate, traumatized, and armed.
How either of these two practices ever possibly made it into the realm of preparedness is beyond me. They snuck in accidentally somehow. The very concept of being prepared excludes the need for either of them… and both should be considered antithetical, if not anathema, to the entire preparedness community.
But we keep hearing about them… And from people we trust. We don’t question it. But as soon as we give it just a moment of thought… The truth becomes so blatantly clear.
Almost as silly as a compost pile in a grid down scenario. Few things are as brilliant as walking up to an enormous snake nest several times a week… On purpose mind you… When the hospitals have been shut down for eight months. LOL.
I’m beginning to think that preppers are losing the ability to actually think for themselves. They think it out,… But they seldom think it through!
But at the end of the day, Glenn,… I’m not advocating the Lonewolf strategy. It’s not what I’m saying. It doesn’t have to be an either/or proposition. There should no doubt be a very guarded gray area there. Even I know that. Because, as of this date, I still have not found a practical method of applying stitches to my own back. Lol.
@@naansophi1111 It’s like this. In your first scenario we assume that no one has laid claim to that property. My premise was more about armed people protecting territory rather than morality.
And when it comes to cats and babies, you would be able to stay quite busy tending to such matters for several years straight if cats and babies could live that long without food. Not to mention the continual biohazard conditions you would be exposing yourself to time and time again. And each time exposing yourself to risk of injury and death from running into somebody who had the same idea.
And why? All because you decided not to be a Prepper. It would’ve been just as easy to have acquired your preps ahead of time,… Rather than wait until disaster strikes, risking your life over and over as a scavenger.
And I have to ask you… Will you be armed? Will you be an armed scavenger? If so,…your very intentions single-handedly prove my point. If you won’t be armed… You’ll be the only one who isn’t. And that won’t end well for you if anyone else has the same plan. Which again proves my point.
Perhaps the problem is that… All too often… We are picturing the last person on earth scenario. Which if that was the case, and you had the proper protection, by all means… Knock yourself out. But you were talking about cats and babies still being alive. Things are kind of fresh. That’s really bad timing for scenarios like this. And don’t be surprised if while you were out “scavenging”, ...others were as well. You may come home and discover that your place has been “scavenged“. But look at the bright side. Maybe they will feed your cats. LOL.
@@glen1arthur Yeah Glen, you know the drill my friend. We just have to wait it out. Each scenario has its own timeline. The problem is normalization,… And predicting which point in the human condition most will be normalized to.
I try to explain to others that even today a percentage of the population is within the criminal element. And we can expect at least a 40% gain after a wide scale SHTF event. With an even larger percentage being overcome by desperation and trauma.
There will be pockets. There’s always pockets. But even then you have to be careful.
great vid. As you hinted, bugging in might not always be viable. My only add to this is, one of the best bugging out preps is cardio.
And remember this, when scouting out crown land the toll it takes on your vehicle is absolutely insane. My wife and I scouted northern Ontario for six months (people are everywhere it's a lot harder to find a location where there isn't someone already occupying then anyone can imagine). When I got back I literally needed to rebuild the entire truck complete front suspension complete rear suspension and four new tires. Live and learn!! Always have a spare tie rod for each side, a spare tire (or 2 tires), tire inflator, TIRE PLUGS!!! and the tools you need to fix your vehicle!!! Good luck everyone.
Just buy a Toyota, get rid off kia
The hard part about bugging out is deciding when to go. Some events like an approaching wildfire are no-brainers. But bugging out for lesser events could be a difficult call. But my rule is simple: It's better to go too early than it is to go too late.
Exactly, you can always come back if youre wrong
i know someobe that sold everything 20 years ago and headed to the mountains. bo gritz days. he learned the hard way
Well my plan is simple have a house that have good land that has water lake, land that you can grow your own crops, knowledge of building ur own Cabin (two of them), build a bunker (with your own budget), etc more things to come in single I can do this fast and stable.
@@reborngreatnesss5712 shit where I currently live in you can't build a cabin unless the government allows you to.... I am thinking of bringing in a mobile house on farm land to keep the taxes low.
My Advice: stay where you are because you know that environment
Yes but if you had to leave because of fires or flood u need a plan!
Absolutely. I will bug in.
I live in Puerto Rico and lived through hurricane Maria. The government's response was very inept. Luckily me and my family were prepared (solar energy, water storage, etc.), enough for us to be comfortable through the entire duration of the crisis while everyone was fighting for essential stuff. I personally saw a fight at a gas station I was passing by. Although we were not preppers at that time, that crisis teached us so much. We must always be prepared for anything and not depend on others if possible.
God bless! BORICUA 🇵🇷
“Flyover” country is the place to be. Also keeping things “old-school” as much as possible would be a good idea...like gardening, animal husbandry, and learning to ride a horse. At the same time, take advantage of the high-tech gadgets while you still can.
The Amish people will survive. ;)
@@archangelmichael1978 until the taxman comes and they cant pay
@@jbbolts That's a scary thought because you're suggesting that the government will engage in ethnic cleansing.
@@archangelmichael1978 writing is on the wall... camps are ready
@@jbbolts censoring and subverting freedom of speech, outrageous gun laws and confiscations being thrown around, all this talk about "right wing domestic terrorists" and "insurrection"
Theres also the recent vetting of our troops and trying to see their allegiances. Suggestions to make lists of political opposition, talk of mass vaccinations and it being mandatory...
Nothing good is coming thats for sure.
I would bug in if possible I am one of those people that owns 160 acres on the end of a dead end road in Western Canada. I am also prepped if we have to leave with a 4 x 4 pickup truck and a camper trailer. I have experience with this as 4 years ago there was a forest fire and we were evacuated for a week. Allowed back an hour a day to look after livestock. So it also meant having livestock trailers ready to transport them and a place lined up to put the animals. Learning experience as I am not the greatest at hooking up the trailers. My boyfriend works away alot so it would be me getting things ready to evacuate. Your right about us knowing our land hunting season I can tell when someone is on the property. The animals let us know and most people don't have a clue how to cover their tracks. Awesome video as always 👌
Powerline clearings would be a good alternative to the main roads.
you talk too much.
people that live near,pipelines will be watching them. i assure you, they like pipeline travelers asmuch as they like pipeline poachers during hunting season.
They use cancer-causing Roundup to clear those weeds out from under the power lines.
My opinion: they are building(planning) power clearing from Quebec to Ma.,thru Maine ,running west to so. east Me..
I question the "why" of this. There is no interstate in that direction, but there is one south to north.
Make a great thru way, if needed for tanks,lg. trucks.....
@@lucysisco9802 same reason theyre installing taller telephone poles stateside.
tanks need the clearance for the turrets
@@americafirst9144 I've walked for hundreds and hundreds of miles through round up soaked invasive vegetation. You'll be fine.
My bug out location is literally a 10 mins drive away from my house. I'm so thankful that I live in an area surrounded by forest.
My spouse and i live in West coast Canada. We have discovered this channel last March 2020. Thank you. Keep on with your videos!
Technically I've been at said rural location for over 15 years...yet I see my acreage as kind of an ambush...further I'm now dreadfully out of shape, so lol my bug out plan is limited to hiding in plain sight👀
Few months of fetching water and living on half ration and you will be back in shape :)
@@gabriellang7998 it's been afew months since that comment and I cannot brag about my progress 😆
I got Normie on speed dial. It’s all good!
I tell you this when it happens no body is gonna do what ever they think they prepared to at least most that's for sure so just the best of the best items close by and that's all folks...
Another awesome video, with great information. I like the idea of “layers” ... and variety of travel in off grid scenarios.
Love your channel and content. Keep em coming!
I was thinking the same thing.
Great channel. Always valuable information.
Excellent information for sure.
I like the bugout boat idea very much; however: 1)thanks to hypersonic missiles, you won't be fast enough if the nuke targets your city
2) you will have it parked in some marina. If shtf, the marina likely limits access real fast
3) unless you currently prepare for a transocean trip, it's unlikely that your boat is readily provisioned for a two months trip at any given time
Garbage barges would make great farms though lol
@@jakeaurod you are right. I.e., given an ICBM travel time of ~30min: do you live so close to the marina such that you can enter it, and sail away within 15min?
Even then, you haven't left the blast radius, most likely.
You're right, sadly. 👍🏼
I'm holed up in Romania, waiting for the next Polar Vortex to arrive.
Yeah, I crossed the border on foot, pushing my luggage ahead of me, for about 5 km.... at night. 🇹🇩 2 C...
3 hrs by bus from Beograd, 1 hr by train to quarantine for 2 weeks.
Good god, man. All the best to and for you, sir.
The Road style. How did it go?
You are the one who travels.
Did you have a plan there, I mean, have you found a place to to stay? Sounds great.
@@Jaysonbc1234 yes, indeed, simply had a Covid staycation in Bosnia and Serbia. My fourth time in Romania.
DON'T THINK YOU'LL BE ABLE TO "BUG OUT" to National & State Parks ! We recently drove the entire Blue Ridge Parkway in North Carolina, to see the fall leaves. The place was SWARMING with tourists, from all over the country ! And that was just a "tourist event."
CAN YOU IMAGINE what would happen in SHTF ???
Good to know .... Thanks!!
Did you walk off the beaten path?
Damn I was thinking of bugging out to there too lol
Imagine all these people need to Hunt for food and imagine how not much deer there are 😆.
Imagine the film hungergame 🤗
@denise starr Yes, but most "refugees" can't walk more than a mile or 2 without tiring out. All the roadways will be jammed with cars, and the pathways with tired urbanites !
WE LIVE IN FLORIDA, a State with over 20 million people - and few major highways heading out-of-State. SO, we have seriously considered "going pirate" and commandeering a sailboat - then heading South into the Caribbean. Might be sketchy, but probably better % than being stuck on the Interstate in traffic gridlock.
Mary A If you want we could meet and plan such. Why ???? Well the mountains of Brazil would be the sailing destination. Possibly the safest spot if a micro burst from the sun happens with a pole change.
I've always focused on bugging in, on the basis that I can stay grey in the event of civil unrest - my flat is about as grey as it gets in an urban setting and I have good security. But recently I've been thinking more about the possibility of needing to bug out and I've realised my existing 3 day bug out kit might not cut it. This was a great video, very helpful and lots to think about - thankyou 👍
@Cast A Shadow thankyou ... Definitely food for thought. My plan has always been to get to a family member's house, but now that I think about it, that could be no good if something happens nationally. I have some options for remote locations owned by close friends ... I'm thinking better to negotiate now than when SHTF so will start with those and will think about what I can bring to the table. Thanks again for your advice.
3 days is not nearly long enough, you should be looking at the very least 3 months.
An excellent and entertaining book to read is Lucifer’s Hammer by Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle. What happens after a comet hits the earth. It will make you think about how you would handle SHTF.
Check out the book " Alas, Babylon "
I read that one 40 years ago, so maybe I need to reread that LOL
I started preparing a about month and a half ago I didn't know that people were actually doing this I was just doing it because I keep hearing about food shortages and price increase. So since I'm a bible believing person and this is happen in the bible over 2000 years ago I thought it would be a good idea. Well I was on UA-cam after I started and Canadian pepper popped up. I started going through his videos and wow I'm hooked . I now realize that prepping goes far beyond saving food. Wow wow wow thank you Canadian prepper I live in Canada and though I I appreciate the world preppers I see on UA-cam there isn't any in Canada. I appreciate you
Check out a channel called Bear Independent as well. Look up "Prepper Classroom"
@@man.of.destiny thanks I'll do
The shtf is definitely in the Bible! People don't believe it's coming.. I say God says it is..
Work your @$$ off, save your money, get a house and a few acres in a rural area. It took us 10 years but SO worth it! We have accommodations for family if they have to bug out from the city. We have a back-up plan if this area gets compromised by folks coming off the county highway. Be Safe!
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻. Nice thumb nail ❤️❤️❤️🐶🐶🐶
I’m banking on everyone bugging out to the country sides so that’ll leave some of us city folks alone. You should be very afraid; I would never go to farm house or a place out in the middle of the woods. Masses, hundreds of thousands of people are headed out in the middle of nowhere; that’s where you are
I'm sheltering in place. When it's time to go for extended camping....we will drive an travel trailer into northern Nevada. I spotted several water sources. With fishing poles and solar panels and a jackery 1000....we could probably camp for months off grid.
Sounds like an ok plan. But your RV is going to be a target.....just thinking about a group that has been walking for days and they see you coming.
@@davej9716 there is no perfect plan. Inside my RV is my 6.5 Creedmoor that can make hits out to 1 mile. And of course with no law I will have my full auto rifles. Also the RV can be camouflaged which we used to do when I was in the military. Also the nice thing about natives....they already live one foot in shtf. We have 2 reservations in my area. I can go where whites cannot lol.
@@mixflip If we meet in person...I hope it is in a good way.
I can't believe how many people think they are going to drive anywhere in a shtf deal. Been thru a couple of hurricanes where gas stations were closed within 24 hours. Traffic lined up for gas that was not coming. Even if you have the gas, traffic will be a nightmare everywhere, even secondary roads. All stores will be closed so no where to get food on the road. People leaving their vehicles on the side of the road. This scenario if not fiction. It has already happened many times in hurricane prone areas. OK so you don't live in a hurricane area. In a shtf deal, it will play out as if you did.
@@soaring16 I think the question is....what is your plan when your shelter in place option burns down.
Many don't have a 2nd home or investment property in the hills.
Most will have to go "camping". It's logical. It's reasonable. Is it perfect? Of course not. But if you have a wife and kids and you have a perfectly good camper...why leave it behind?
People have to be very careful about going deep into the back country unless you have really great maps. It is very easy to get lost deep in the forest.
I agree especially if you have vehicle troubles you will be in a world of hurt, I hope I made that clear in this video!
As I travel around I been getting Paper Maps from Welcome Centers and parks system in case my GPS acts up.
Maps! Good idea
Speaking rurally...YES, we know our land WELL and we have cameras AND drones to search it...and we do!
Yes. Yes we do. And we definitely will see you coming before you get even a little close.
Yes. Yes we do. And we definitely will see you coming before you get even a little close.
Triple Horn Sheep That’s exactly right! God bless you and all your flocks!
Those trail cams will be totally useles!
All cell-base cams will be useless....why????
NO MORE CELL SERVICES...NONE!!!!
And we're all heavily armed.
Most people say "I can make it if I have to" not. Only about 3% will make it in a shtf.
The 3% stat comes from what source/studie/experiance?
@@342Dammis The fact that most people don’t have more than one month of food. 2 years in rip.
@@MobileAura Most wild plants have edible parts. One month of food can take you to 2-3 months when rationed and supplemented with vitamins easily, water is the bigger problem.
This man is telling the truth ! Imo if one runs to the wilderness with just a bag of stuff,the only bag they will soon need is a Body Bag.
airless tires are 100% worth the money
If you're referring to bicycles? I work in a bike shop and we all have converted tubeless using Orange brand liquid sealant. Flats become exceedingly rare.
@@kanejakejimmy that being said, I wonder how that stuff would work in a low-profile car or truck tire?
I had heard that drug runners in LA were using foam-filled tires back in the 90s.
Those are fine for slow moving things like skidloaders, but they tend to heat up on road vehicles.
@@danieljones317 they got honeycomb design that only affects the performance a little but it’s a transport not a race car
@@nunyabisnus1892 I remember bicycle tires like that being sold in the Sears catalog in the 70s.
They won't make car or truck tires like that, because then police can't shoot them out.
@@danieljones317 they can’t be shot out unless you shoot them with a machine gun with several magazines
I have two locations. My bug in one is near national parks and forests plus a large lake within 1/4 mile. My second is my bug out location which is 54 miles away. It also is near forests and trout filled steams and a large lake. It is only a little over 9 acres but has a 3/4 acre flat area with good soil and a large stram that runs around it.There is another access to a heavy wooded area with a good creek,springs and ridges. Both areas have lots of game running through them. I live in S.W. Virginia
Something that I'm looking at both for bugging out as well as combating the rising housing/rent prices in my area is building a tiny home. They can usually (Not always as with most things the answer is it depends) be built for cheaper then an RV costs as well as offering a little more room (Again depending). If you wanted one for the soul purpose of bugging out you could use it as an airBnB or something like that to make a little extra money on the side while the grid is still up. If this interests anyone I'd recommend looking at the UA-cam channels Living big in a tiny house, or Exploring alternatives.
As always, a great, thoughtful chat. Thank you.
As a widow of a Master Mechanic, I learned a lot about vehicles. I always carry water, antifreeze, oil, transmission fluid, brake fluid, power steering fluid, 2 cans of Fix-A-Flat, complete tool set for my Expedition, etc. My daddy was a Master Mechanic, also....he would not allow us kids to drive until we could change a tire, change our own oil, air filter, etc. My daddy and my late husband were awesome, honorable men. My current husband isn't a Master Mechanic, but he changes brake pads, oil, etc. My heroes!
What a nightmare scenario. I’ve been camping and slept on the ground plenty. I’d hate to walk out and go camping for the rest of my life..
I feel like building a small community and bugging in is more realistic for us and our families.
I agree small interlinked communities and or extended family units with trade between them would be best - that way the gene pool isn’t too small.
Yep
People think when shtf their all the sudden gonna turn in to a tactical badass and run off in to the wilderness with their old lady and toddler lol.
Mutual assistance groups (MAGs) are the way to go, for sure.
When resources run low or run out extra ppl around is a liability. Survival instinct kicks in and the friendly neighbor will turn into a skull cracking opportunist to take what you have. Don’t underestimate how evil ppl are it just puts you at risk.
It is so cold where I live right now, I'm not sure how I feel about trying to survive.
I suppose we naturally have this instinct to survive despite the situation.
The wilderness is 10 to 15 miles in whatever direction I go, so finding wilderness is not the difficult part, it's everything else that goes along with surviving the wilderness that makes it tricky.
Great clip 😉
True. An earthship-type structure, if insulated, will maintain a temp of 50-70 degrees year-round. I have a small canvas tent so could use a camp stove. But I live in a Canadian city, so if I needed to bug out - especially mid-winter - it would a massive challenge to find burnables, and keep/defend a stash of supplies.
@@mmclaughlin9715 Absolutely true
I believe there are safety in numbers, a unified group who believe in agency, common sense, and who desire to keep the commandments. These kind of groups will be very powerful when the SHTF happens.
@@ritakus9871 definitely the people you would hope to connect with.
Professor CP''s classroom lecture in this video is spot on & timely covering many aspects of the scriptwriting i am doing now for a post-SHTF adventure-horror seiess, which includes a perilous bug-out journey for the main character and a self-reliant remote rural sanctuary coveted by warlords and marauders...keep up the great work.
Excellent content, thank you for putting this information out there, will give a lot of people a chance now that they have an idea of what to do.
Thanks CP, some good ideas in here. Even if you've planned everything those plans may not be possible so secondary and tertiary options are always good to have.
@Cast A Shadow yeah, 'forced into a FEMA truck'. That's a scary thing, forced to grab an INCH bag and leave everything that'll keep you alive to be herded like cattle... just the thought of that makes me furious
I live in southern Nevada and my husband and I have traveled our summer and winter evacuation routes multiple times, first in a truck pulling a travel trailer and then in a motorhome towing a small Jeep. We have travelled as far southeast as Florida and as far north as Washington state and North Dakota. And we have taken our pets with us.
If we have to evacuate, maybe for forever, and have time to load a lot of our gear and supplies, we will be traveling in a convoy of a crew cab pick-up truck and a motor home that is towing the Jeep. We have stayed overnight at an assortment of BLM camping areas, state park campgrounds and privately owned campgrounds along our routes. We have stopped to prepare meals at various highway rest stops, truck stops and big parking lots for Wal-Mart, Costco, Lowes, Cabelas and Bass Pro. We have considerable experience dealing with bad weather, highway detours, tight quarters at fuel stations and managing vehicle break-downs. We have radios so the drivers can communicate when we are traveling.
All three vehicles have navigation systems and we have plenty of road atlases as well as BLM maps for the desert areas within a day's drive of our home and recreational atlases for Nevada, Arizona and Utah. Finding a cost-free location to boondock in the desert during cool weather will not be a problem. We also have current copies of Next Exit (shows every place along every U.S. interstate that sells diesel fuel), Good Sam's campground book and specialty books on U.S. Corps of Engineers campgrounds, military installation campgrounds, state park campgrounds, free overnight camping locations, etc. All the adults in our family have multiple concealed carry permits and can legally do concealed carry in the majority of U.S. states and we have gun vaults in each vehicle.
Only adjustment was having a Plan A and Plan B (Summer go east to mountains, Winter head west to desert).
Just bought a solid 78 Ford van to make a bug out rig. Diesel powered can run on waste oil if needed. Gotta say always had a few months food stored but its actually looking like bug out situation could actually happen if shit doesn't change. I'm a little late but better late than never right?
Great video. Again. Have to say, the last few have been really good and informative. Look forward to the map video. That should help many people as map reading has become a lost art in the digital age. And be a good refresher for those of us who grew up using maps but have gotten lazy. Thank you. My plan is to bug in. Have everything I need. Including great, like-minded neighbors. However, I am not so arrogant as to believe there is never going to be a need to bug out. Uh, house fire anyone? I have get home bags in both vehicles and a bug out bag for absolute and total SHTF. Have a large tent for vehicle/ travel and a small 3 man pop-up for my bug out bag. If it ever gets bad enough to have to leave long term, mobility is key. While I may try to drive to more palatable climates (like you, I live where it snows, just not as much), the goal would be a climate where game breads more plentifully. Absolute and total SHTF. Again, thank you for the videos.
This video was especially well done. As for me, I'll have no choice but to tough it out at home. Circumstances pending.
Your visuals keep amazing me year after year. Your information even more impressive! Thanks!!!
So according to this, in a serious shtf situation big cities will be deathtraps in one or two weeks.
Run, Forest, RUUUN!
Cities would be filled with stuff, so for a few months yes. But with only so much stuff, it would empty after say 3 months. So many people would be clamouring for supplies it would be certain death to be there. But after it’s picked clean, it would mostly be abandoned.
Water water water. That's the problem with staying in a city (particularly a coastal city); how are you gonna access drinking water?? (I'm talking a prolonged situation >2-3mths).
Also, if drinking water IS accessible it'll probably be like the waterhole situation in the wild - all the predators will be there waiting to pick off the vulnerable
getting my van ready and i'm excited to visit some crown land. national parks are great. befriend homeless people. they know more about the land and people who will give you trouble than you do.
I like this video. It touches on many of the options that I have considered in my bug-out plans. One very important detail I would like all preppers to put is directed at rural preppers. Get a local map and start marking down properties that are abandoned or have been for sale for so long that they have fallen into neglect. If a prepper like me is in your area, all we are looking for is someplace to homestead. It's likely that we know how to set up a garden and have raised small livestock (chickens, rabbits, quail, etc.).
Thank you for sharing Nate!✋ We greatly appreciate all your hard work making all these great videos with helpful information and ideas 🌴🥰✋🌴🙏
Just a thought, everyone piling into the national and state forests and making campfires will greatly increase the danger of forest fires, and getting trapped with no way out or knowledge of approaching fires or direction fire is moving sounds horrible.
That's right, snd those of us within the forest will not be welcoming in the least. You urban lice are problematic in many ways.
Everyone should be actively bugging out from major cities NOW.
It’s time to become self sufficient.
Totally agree and I've redirected all of my efforts to do just that.
Hunger Games
about half way there.
No no all those city peeps should stay right there. We dont need or want them out here in the boonies
Keep y'alls asses in city we don't want u to ruin our areas
Yes sir, another excellent production. Thank you!
Great insightful video Nathan! You gave some excellent tips on bugging out. You provided me with information I had never considered. Gone are my romantic notions of bugging out in the wilderness. I think I will continue to make my home and vehicle my two best bug out options. I definitely will watch this video more than once.
Thanks in advance for the incoming comms and map video
Those have befuddled me for a while
Living in remote edge of suburbs. If things get too hot there will throw the preps into my toy hauler and go further out (4 separate route possible) to the family ranch. Out there is a sparse community but enough to organize & close off the routes in/out of the area. If this falls there is always the nomad life but that probably wouldn't last long...
Super excited for the videos coming up - planning on taking a ham radio course this year
I am very fortunate to live in the country in an area fairly free from severe weather (central Kentucky). I am hunkering down.
Great video for those urban dwellers.
The more time drudges on & the crazier the world gets, the more I want to build a badass bugout skoolie. I'll call it the "Zom-bus"
@Cast A Shadow I live in the rural side of my state. Traffic sucks here & there but I have alot of old backroads around.
@Cast A Shadow totally agree. But at least id be driving my house 😆
I call dibs on the front seat.
I just seen a good scene from one of your clips that really hits the reality of being able to carry more than just your bugout bag kit/weight. I can sure ruc my 50 pound bugout bag no problem but my 67 year old mom sure as hell can’t even do her 20 pound bag for any distance at all without injuring her back or the extreme fatigue that will set in while in the midst and especially the day after. Time to increase the weight of mine another 20 pounds.
Get one of those rugged garden wagons. And the more skills you have, the lighter the load you need to carry
I plan on using my bugout Jeep Cherokee Xj. It’s my second car and in heated storage all ready to go.
Try a small wheeled suitcase....thats what mine is. I know i cant carry much. 68 yrs old.
@@cherokeefit4248 oh no. You’re relying on a keep to not break down 😅
That was excellent! I hope never to have to bug out but I do have a few places in mind and I've already checked them out. I'm an excellent map reader I've done many cross countries with a map and compass. I live in a place that can be pretty self-sufficient providing I do not have to leave. I've already started some prepping to live off my land. It's in a great location for solar but I haven't even got started on that yet. All I can say is keep prepping guys and keep looking. Y'all have a great day and stay safe! TQ out
Extremely accurate comments and very thoughtful material. It's a pity so few people saw him. A lot of work.
With respect
Piter
Finally realized dream, moved to waterfront on a river, surrounded by crown forest. Limitless fish, ducks, deer, wood and water.
Small Canadian towns will be where the resistance is.
IT WILL BE WHERE THE TAN MAN IS
Ya'll already gave up your guns and built your covid camps. Good luck with that.
We bought an old ATCO style trailer mounted on a flatfeck. It's fully winterized. Getting all the renovations done now and I stalling a wood stove. It's already in a remote location on private land so it's our bug out home!
You've got a great channel! I am a amateur female prepper with military experience! It's kind of hard to prep all of these things on the fly! I wish I started this prepping as soon as I left the military, years ago. I would be ready by now! but then on the other hand, I'm way more prepped than the average person! And that's horrible! I pray it never comes to ever leaving our homes, but if it has to come down to that, that's what I'm going to do!
My advice. Get a fishermans vest. They have a lot of compartments you can fill with vital survival equipment like fire rod, fat rope stick, e.f rations, a leatherman, e bivvy/poncho, compass etc.
Saves a lot of space for your backpack, handier to get to and vital fall back equipment if you lose your backpack.
My backpack is almost complete, i am now saving for a Honda four wheel bike you can actually ride them fully submerged in water! Watch the Hondabros vids on YT.
I have been telling my husband about getting a fisherman's vest for years now - ever since 1st learning about prepping. All kinds of compartments to store stuff in!
@Dare Master Grey man is the way to go in my opinion. Less of a target to bandits. I only wish i lived in the U.S so i could conceal a hand cannon for protection. Fight for your 2nd amendment rights, seriously, it's your last line of defence against threats foreign, AND DOMESTIC!
@@paigeyap4082 It comes before a backpack if you ask me and if you wear a coat over your less of a target for scavengers.
Nice tip. You can also buy all sorts of tactical vests and clothing online for cheap
I think the safest place to be will be out on the water, you have a 360 degree view of any possible threats coming. Buy a large boat with a water de saliantor on it, drop anchor off shore, wait it out with your supplies
I need one of those waterworld rigs
i have been thinking about this lol . idk things are becoming too hard to ignore fr...... and i think going into the woods is fine if u can get to higher ground from any threats....... i have a dog that is high maintenance and going to the woods if its just us would be a bad idea even if we had semi automatic weapons and would u even make it driving to any where reasonable ?? i think no...... especially if its just us..... im hoping if sshtf my mom would survive 🧟 and i can take her with me.....i am def thinking rivers are the best plan if aall hell breaks loose. maybe it doesnt happen but idk signs are from what i feel pointing more towards that then not 🤷♀️....ive been thinking about this like where would we go ....having emergency items is nothing if u dont have any kind of plan ..... i remember i had one dream where literally all hell broke loose and it was my only dream with Jesus in it...... the dream had as raft in it.....that is why im also going for out on the water for shtf......if u drove out that way and got there too there could be other survivors that have a boat and most likely let u go with them if u have weapons and supplies to help them survive everything...... in the bible Jesus says from his prophecies to run and dont look back and if u can go to the mountains and get to higher ground....but in my dream it was water.... btw i think if this happens and hopefully nothing does but i do think 🧟 like literally everyone else loll. but after all that ive research and seen i am sure 💉= tsetse 🦟 dna and graphene oxide.....and virus is sars with tbrucei .....so ya if they get activated i think that is my plan.....also that I want an ar15 to protect my dog 🐕💗
Watching this 3 years later - I bought a 40 foot yacht with sails, free transport and live on it permanently, last year I didn't go to shore for food etc for 5 months, and can do over a year, this is the best way to go, just sit out the front, drop anchor and wait, got the other local liveaboards around here to stock up too, can't beat it, and fish for protein ❤ it's saved me from homelessness last year and no bills, solar power etc, but pasta is better to store than rice due to humidity and 20 litres honey etc, canned food helps with ballast, still working on fresh water, de salinators are very expensive, there's a rig you can make up using a Karcher online 😊 it's better than land in many ways and far less people with bad habits and nasty attitudes, 😊
One of the most important segments you have done. And by the responses observed very thought provoking.
Locations don't get enough attention in these conversations.
I think its wise to have a plan to bug out to a location and have several locations picked out. Maybe even seasonal locations summer vs winter etc. If you plan on using "public" ground.
This is the best video for this topic i have ever seen.
Will be a lot of meat popsicles in Canada if bug out becomes necessary during winter.
Great video! I hope we never have to go here, but with the current state of our world, preparing makes sense.
When you do topics like this, your channel is at its best!
Thank You, Brother !!! 👍😎 AWESOME VIDEO !!!
Bug Out Plan: Wish in One Hand and Sh!t in the Other.
Because of the People who I am surrounded by in Life, I have no viable option for a Bug Out Plan. 100% Honest. 😣
😢😢😢
You can surround yourself with better people. You always have more options than you think you do. I've learned this the hard way in my own life. good luck
@@thetransformatorium7980 I wish it were that easy. I swear I do.
You can still do what you can.. My husband lives in unreality. He doesn't see what's coming.. But I've still made a pretty good bug out bag I have hidden and am learning to hunt with a sling shot.. Don't be discouraged do what you can.. Hide things if need be. It is possible..
My 18 year old son and I had a conversation about SHTF surrounding a major solar flare or micro-nova event. His response was that he would take a bullet to the head rather than deal with the reality of subsistence survival. He polled his mother (my ex) and her response was the same. Granted, all life on earth would be devastated by such an event and it would be a world that was unfamiliar to almost everyone, but... I was surprised by their response. Perhaps many people would take a similar exit.
Yep
So we get to use their stuff…?
CP your production is at another level good job man ! Inspiring and positive
Appreciate the video. Great thoughts. Things can happen, plans can suddenly change.
Hey CP, I've been a long time subscriber, fellow Canadian and consider myself and my wife to be WELL prepared. Love your channel, I've scavenged lots of ideas and information from your channel so thanks! I do have a serious question for you though. Your a huge believer in ALOT of electronic "tech" . You've advocated for EV'S , battery power inverters ect. My question is what's is your plan or contingency for CME or EMP attack? Primarily interested in your thoughts on transportation considering most if not All modern vehicles will be rendered useless. Any thoughts on EMP shield? Thanks for your content! Be well.
A 20' storage container you can use for a garage and store things you want to use after the EMP has passed. Remember you have to close it for it to work.
Understand where do those city-wide EMPs come from and you will see why he advocates all that.
No one is nuking their own country in the event of economical collapse. This aint a zombie apocalypse after all :)
UA-cam/Marfooglenews
They are the best current news and they offer a discount on your EMP boxes. They run about $4-500 and come ready to install. You'll have electricity where no one else will.
@@gabriellang7998,
Uh, yeah, our own country has done things repeatedly to try and get rid of the decades-long welfare state going on down there. We emp'd down there and hurricane Katrina was another attempt at getting rid of that area. That one didn't work either.
@@carnissan6728 Please.
You do understand what are the repercussion of detonating atmospheric nukes above all major cities in, for example, USA?
You do realize, that nuking your own country leaves you with a tons of dead bodies, radioactive fallout that will blanket the skies (high altitude nukes spread it much further) and tons of damaged infrastructure you will not be able to rebuild, because you have destroyed your industrial base?
EMP nukes are basically scorched earth scenario, no bag is going to save you from what happens next.
As a government, you would rather use short living poison, like a biological or chemical agent to reduce population but keep infrastructure intact.
Humans are renewable resource, after all.
Interesting!!
I love this channel, good job canadian prepper you're the man
Bugging out to a designated location. And willing and able to do anything to get there. No Fing problem.
I'm lucky that I have family with a farm that will welcome us. It also helps that I have the skillset to build a microgrid which might be a wanted skill set in a nation wide grid down scenario. But basically I just have to hope that the world doesn't go down the toilet before I have my cybertruck and trailer with solar panels built out along with e bikes for the family. Otherwise I'll not be as prepared as I would like to be.
I own property that sits right up next to State Forest property. The busiest time is during deer hunting season. Otherwise, you get your casual summer hikers, etc. Like Canadian Prepper said, when you are talking about massive swaths of land, we country people know who belongs, who doesn’t, we know every back road, every stream, every fire break. The woods can be a peaceful or dangerous place depending on the person in it.
@@howtomoo I’m glad you are okay for starters. I moved out to the country about five years ago. I have met some of the nicest people out here. However, like most people, everyone has their limits. I have found that if a person is genuine and will go the extra mile for most of these people, they will almost do anything to help you. However, if you cross them, it can be like a nightmare come true. I’m fortunate. The few neighbors that I have I have very good rapport with. They come from different backgrounds which can be helpful sometimes. Some are farmers, hunters, work construction, etc. Property rights is a huge thing where I live. I don’t think you can travel anywhere without seeing a no trespassing sign or purple paint being sprayed. Our form of networking is neighbor looking out for neighbor.
@@howtomoo I agree about the heavy equipment. I’ve heard all kinds of stories like the one you described involving machinery. Believe it or not, a very big problem that has killed a lot of people in past years around here has been random tree falls around the roads. When it snows, it adds increased weighed and the trees either snap or uproot completely. Since this became a significant problem, the State stepped in and has been cutting a lot of the trees back away from the roads. Imagine driving an 18 wheeler and your cab takes a falling Oak while you’re just cruising down the road.
@@howtomoo common sense is hard to come by these days Mr. Bert. God must love fools. I don’t know how they make it, honestly. 😂
@@howtomoo 😂😂😂😂
Love those kinds of videos, thank you!
Thank you for this video. It is the best you have done lately.
I can not live in the woods past my food supply. Even if I could secure food in the wild, I'd still have no dentist or doctors. I only bug out when my shelter is damaged.
People survived without dentists or doctors for 1000s of years
@@paulthiessen6467 yeah and average life expectancy was about 50 years old then..
@@paulthiessen6467 No they didn’t. That’s why there are dentists and doctors. All it takes is an abscess tooth and you’re gone. Or a sliver on a toe that gets infected.
@@paulthiessen6467 They were usually dead by 30 too!
I'll have to have a doctor and dentist as my bug out partners and a person who knows how to fish and hunt animals. City boys like myself have not been equipped with the survival skills needed to make a transition to the wilderness during a SHTF scenario. I do know how to read books and maps which may be helpful.
Overrun by beggars and thieves. But I commend you for your zeal for life
Live in a very small town that has been logging for years also old open pit mining history. The amount of well used and not so used back roads are in abundance. This are also is know for the best drinking water in North America. Wild life is everywhere and lakes too. Have alot of hand held radios and base stations as well. Hope it never comes to having to bug out but have everything for this. Everyone be safe keep your heads up..
Another well informed video. Thank you Nate!!!!
