I would think that a calendar would come in handy. Losing track of time ie when to plant, expiration dates, meet up times, knowing when a Holiday esp religious holiday is would be comforting and helpful.
While a calendar would be helpful, they are easy to make so I wouldn’t consider having many years in advance of calendars to be a necessary prep.
Military hand books are a great resource, they have everything from survival, evasion, resistance and escape tactics.
I sill own all my military handbooks and medical books from my service in the Army.
Also own sevèral survival books as well as natural remedy and natural medicinal books
@@SurvivenTerry 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👍 thank you for your sacrifice and service....and HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY....sorry a little late 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸...Blessed Be to you and your family🇺🇸🇺🇸👍😊
U.S. Army Ranger Handbook is a good one.
@@SurvivenTerryThank you! For your service. 💝
You should have way more subscribers. You are very knowledgeable, speak clearly and better than a lot of the other youtubers talking about the same stuff. You get to the point. Thank you
Thank you!
🎯👍🏼🌟
excellent video. Many items people don't think about
I agree 100%!
A word of caution with the Oil Lamps/Storm Lanterns. Be careful of the fumes when the lamp(s) are lit if you are Asthmatic. There will be an invisible oil vapour in the air, that could cause you breathing problems, as I found out, when we had a mains power cut (outage). Make sure the lit area is ventilated.
100%....C.O.P.D. also and probally any other breathing issues .....or simply no issues...ventilate
Thank you! I have asthma, too. No fun!?
One thing just dawned on me. The Boy Scout handbook has a lot of great information in it and they can be found fairly cheap at yard sales and second hand stores.
They've been hard to find but I bought a used one on Amazon for 20 bucks.
That's a great idea! Maybe Gurl Scout as well.
Tarps for collecting rain water. A 12x12 tarp can collect 40 gallons of water during a mild rain
I have collected cheap rolled plastic painter's drop cloths and gigantic rolls of clear plastic sheeting for catching large amounts of rain myself. It could be an absolute lifesaver.
@@tennesseeterri can also set it out for dew if desperate
I'm sitting here looking for foods that store well, and I learn how to survive a zombie outbreak. Sounds a bit extreme, but this video couldn't be more relevant to what's happening in front of our very eyes. Pay attention folks.
Thanks for watching!
How long do you expect to last and how Long do you expect to wait for things to get "back to normal"
@@redherring5532 erase those 3 words...normal...
@@bluegrassgal exactly my point
Coconut oil is the best oil for long term storage. You'll need it to add to beans, rice, and other shelf stable foods
Son you have one of the best prepper channels out there!! I watch them all , daily and your really good.thanks for the very important info,all the time.
Thank you Ryan!
I heartily agree...
I like my decorative sconces. These are candle holders that hang on the wall. They look great on each side of a fireplace or a mirror. In a power outage we can light the candles without fear of dogs or kids knocking them over.
Excellent idea.
Wall sconces are very useful and can be easily made from scrap materials.
SAVE YOUR LINT FROM DRYER YOU CAN ALSO USE WITH PETROLEUM JELLY AS FIRE STARTER
Place lint inside toilet paper tube or paper towel tube - which could be cut down in size.
I found another great option for lighting fires. USB rechargeable plasma lighters. You can recharge them by solar panel, power station. They work very well and conserve fuel and other.
PLEASE have fire extinguisher
2 upstairs & 2 downstairs
I keep stocked up on inexpensive toothpaste tubes, razors, and bar soap. These are very affordable for now, and last a long time. I keep at least six unopened tubes of toothpaste and a few dozen bars of soap. Both have potential to be excellent barter items. I do not worry as much about razors since I will be growing a beard anyway in an SHTF situation. Just some things to add to the list. Also extra toothbrushes to go with the others. Imagine how gladly someone would trade something they do not need for a clean, new toothbrush if they needed one.
Dental floss.
Feminine hygiene products
Baking Soda is also good for tooth brushing if you run out of toothpaste!
@@jolox. It is indeed. I keep a salt shaker mixed half and half with baking soda and salt, plus a few grains of rice to absorb any humidity that gets into it. Once a week or so I brush my teeth with that, and they feel like I have just come from a cleaning at a dental office.
The salt and baking soda is also a dirt-cheap way to keep your teeth clean, more so than any store brand.
Jase now will give you a year's supply of life saving meds like BP meds, diabetic meds. I got a year's supply of my medicine I need for my irregular heartbeat. It took about 5 minutes to answer the questions and pay. No prescription needed! I did have to pay out-of-pocket, but it was worth it for my life and peace of mind.
Should it be pure olive oil, or can you use a mixture?
Solar lanterns, GOOD INFO!😅
Don't forget you can use olive oil for burning in lamps
Best use of olive oil is for food.
Thats one of the most expensive lamp oils compared to actual lamp oils.
Im betting she meant if thats all u have left...
@CJ Even more so that food is the best purpose. Lots of other things can be burned for lighting, pine tree sap for example.
@@kiltedsasquatch3693 That would be a nice alternative.. i love the smell of pine..but i guess if ur in a city then you will have to use what you can.
Back to Basics by the readers digest is an incredible resource of information.... With a lot of details for almost everything needed for the basics of homestead building without fancy tech.
Thanks for sharing!
@@diypreppertv I highly suggest everyone own that book. At least the 1st edition. It has everything from building a cabin to composting toilets and even property management with strategic land use using trees for natural buffer zones for weather.
@@tat3r802 I've been using this great book since the early 80s, possibly late 70s. Can't remember exactly when I bought it. You can find them now in second hand stores.
I WOULD ALSO INCLUDE NORMAL SALINE FOR WOUNDS OR EYE WASH
The flints in disposable lighters, even when empty, are still useful in a survival situation when used correctly.
Deodorant wipes to keep ourselves as clean as possible its a must. If water its not available. Feminine products 👍
I went a little obsessive on fingernail clippers & Venus razors… small things to maintain that dignity, feeling clean & human.
Go for the one's that have lil to no scent it's scary how quickly a smell stands out stay gray
Great "top-up" information, J.R.! I hope more people listen. I have a small addition, if I may. My wife loves those scented candles, and there is always a surplus of the "remains", as it were. Lots of wax left in them after they're burned out. I set a few of them on top of the wood stove, allow them to melt and pour the liquid wax over folded paper towels, and just squeeze everything together until it looks more or less even. (It's not so hot as to be painful!) *INSTANT* fire starter material!
Thanks again, and stay well, my friend!
Thanks Karl!
Karl…I do that as well. Great minds think a like, guess. I pour the liquid wax over my small piece kindling wood.
I am sure you know you can save the reminents of candles and remelt them and pour another candle. Candles can be remelted over and over until completely used up. Lots of uses for old candles. Your idea is good too. Fire starters come in handy.
@@alicerafferty9595 Great ideas. How do I get the remaining wax from the glass jars? Thank you in advance
@@Mojo32 You need a source of heat to melt the wax. I simply place a few of the used jars on the top of my wood stove when the fire is getting low. Doesn't hurt the glass. Using a glove, I just pour out 99% of the remaining (melted) wax. Stay well!
Totally agree with having extra coffee and might I add means to make it without electricity. I've got a chemex and a moka pot. Also, thrift stores are great for stocking up on clothing and maybe some hand tools.
We are stocked up on coffee and have a French press.
Estate sales are a great place to find older high quality tools for a fraction of the price of new.
Place your candles in the pots and pans that you wont be using. The metal will reflect the light. The candle & pot can easily be moved from room to room.
That is a great suggestion. A light bulb went off. 😄
And the metal will heat up an area a bit for warmth.
And retain the heat, great idea
Quick mention.... Although you did show bar soaps at the very end of your video, you simply talked a few seconds about bartering these. I think the majority of prepper videos don't give enough attention if at all to personal hygiene products. I've spent a considerable amount of time camping out or on hunting trips in the mountains. And getting cleaned up in a stream after a pretty rough day hiking from ridge to ridge makes one fairly sweaty and odipherous. It's quite a physical and emotional luxury to get washed up before sitting down by a campfire to eat dinner and climbing into your sleeping bag. I use liquid camp soap. It won't harm the environment or the fish in the stream. Plus.... If you have others around you or your significant other, it'll make them happy. 😅
Best thing to have is solar panels and a charge converter and power inverter. You can use your car batteries for some backup power
Having a set of corded power tools would be a good idea also. if you already have an inverter and car batteries these will make some of the bigger projects much easier than hand tools when time is a factor. Even just a used drill will help immensely and can be bought cheap and don't take too much space in the tool box.
Brilliant advice as always mate.
Candles... I agree, they are dangerous.
These days I only burn them in entirely enclosed "Ikea type" candle holders.
Fire starters.... TAMPONS!
Seriously, bulk-buy cheap tampons are king. Cut half an inch off the end, fluff it up, and one strike from a ferro rod will make it burst into flames.
FYI I also now pack little magnifying glasses. They aint great, but they never wear out, and on a bright day you have free fire.
Tools....I could not agree more
But you just reminded me that I need to buy an auger for when the power is out.
Books... where do I start.
I have recently started to stockpile manuals and I work in an area that is technically "IT". Computers and apps are great, but one EMP pulse or the power grid going down means all your fancy files are either worthless, or require you spunking your solar generator to power it up long enough to extract the info. Manuals sit there doing nothing until your life requires them... and they work.
Medication.
Absolutely a given. It perplexes me that people dont realise this.
Water purification....
It confounds me that people dont prepare for this. After air, the next most important thing is water. Everyone should have some form of bullet means to secure the many litres of safe water they need every day. FYI I flush, disinfect and dry my old berkey filters. They make a great pre-filter to use in an emergency for keeping contaminated crud out of your main purification system.
Food ... I like food.
Superb advice as always mate. Your advice is always simple and sound.
Thank you!
Love this channel. Especially the lists for preps. The comment section just feeds off itself. Every one offering an excellent suggestions. Love the ones I didn't know of. God bless everyone.
Thank you Melody!
New subscriber and prepper....I've binged watched your videos for two weeks now. Thanks for the valuable information!
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Get your ham radio license
Thanks for mentioning a bow and or crossbow. Native people's had it right and put food on the table plus defended themselves for thousands of years and still do in remote places.
With practice, they're deadly accurate but more importantly during SHTF, they are QUIET!
Good afternoon J.R AND my fellow D.I.Y'ERS 😊
Good Afternoon! 🌞❣️🤗
Thank y’all for watching!
Excellent video. A lot of eye openers, great advice and great reminders. Simple explanations and putting it clearly. Keep up the good work!!
Thank you Aaron!
I was just gifted some old tools that were my Dads! I feel so blessed. I'm going to stockpile some more garden tools. I have many tools, shovels,hoes,pitchforks , kaiser blades etc. I need handles and videos on how to repair them? Please. Also how to sharpen a hand saw. I have at least 6.
My Grandfather kept kindling sitting in a washtub of kerosene , When you needed to start a stove or whatever you just pulled out a stick. I’ve used that for 50 years. You can soak them and put them in an airtight container if you want to.
Thanks again, JR. I love these catch up lists to double check what I have. Also beneficial to the new Preppers as they get started.
Thank you!
Magnifying 🔎
Foxfire books are great. Soap is one of the most important items to have. Dirty people will die.
I enjoy your channel. Your videos are informative and helpful. Thanks for putting in the time making them.
Thank you Tom!
The most important thing to remember is that water is a must for survival. If you are planning on staying in your home, make sure that you have water stocked. You can buy different sizes of containers from 30-50 gallon containers. The trick to this is that the containers MUST be food grade. If you go this route, make sure that your containers are not in direct sunlight and you drain and replace the water every so often. Most humans drink over 850 gallons of water every year. Even if you do store your water, you will need a way to replenish your water supply, so make sure you know you're waterways and hopefully, you will know at least one natural spring.
Rain collection is a must for thar idea or dew collection dew is so much more extensive then rain but gotta do what you gotta do
I heard iodine will clean the water stored to drink.
Hand well pump is a good idea if you're in an area where water table is above 25 feet.
👍👍👍👍 As a kid ( 1960 ) in Georgia, / USA when we sprang a angle we made a paste of red clay within vinegar and applied it making a cast and it never failed.
I think I have most items that you mentioned, but I did get tips on items I don't have. Thank you so much for your help, it's surely appreciated now and quite possibly in the unsure future. You're the best JR.
Thank you!
I built a trailer that holds most of my shtf supplies. I could park it in the middle of the bush and survive for over two years. I’ve already used it a few times
Everyone will have different needs according to where they live and their age and sex.. so make up your own check list..these are good videos to give you ideas..JUST START SOMEWHERE and Go for it..anything is better than NOTHING..
Amen sister!!!
thanks for all the great videos
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching them!
I use all detergent, fabric softener bottles, and others for plain cleaning water just for cleaning. The detergent is already in some...and I mark the bottles water for cleaning. They can also be used to fill the commode, or sink for other cleaning, and wound care...cleaning up, after being outside, or doing a dirty job.
Excellent idea!
Caulks, sealants and adhesives
Well delivered!
Thank you!
0:43 I would add that if you do like the Zippo route--and I do think they have advantages over the BIC lighters, namely they protect the lighter in a meaningful case--you can replace the Zippo insert with a butane type lighter insert. The yellow flame insert that Zippo sells combines the durability of a Zippo with the functionality of a BIC, which to me is the best of both worlds--plus it's refillable. There are other butane inserts too which also won't leak like a BIC with an accidentally depressed fuel button. Much better for EDC at least; perhaps not so much for long-term shelter-in-place.
Great video, I really enjoy all of your videos! Thank you for making them and for the info! I’ve learned so much since I’ve started watching your vids
Thank you Makayla!
@@diypreppertv you’re very welcome!
Buy candle jars, reusable glass jar with lid. You can either replace with cheap pillar candles, or use as storage jars.
Thank you. I always love your reviews. Very helpful.
Thank you Pat!
I have also purchased things like vaseline (for fire starters), candles for a quarter, triple antibiotic, first aid supplies, can openers, blankets, work gloves, canning jars, i could go on and on. I have purchased all these things and many more, all for my preps, all at estate sales. It stretches my prepping dollars much farther.
Enjoyed your broadcast, very good talking points and suggestions for future preparedness.
Schrieners spray is a really good wound healer. Found at livestock stores.
So much great info here, thank you!
What a great video! Learned a bunch ✨⭐️
Great work. Nice compact, mini-reminder class .....thanks!!!
TYSM For suggesting books! MUCH needed, great other ideas too.
Thank you!
Really good and clear information easy to digest. Thanks for addressing the issue 👌
Thank you!
A lot of local farmers will trade a bushel of corn for a pre 1964 constitutional quarter (90%silver)
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Where is that?
Thanks for all the great information keep 👍 up your great videos God bless you 🙏 and yours
Cordless battery tools and heavy duty plugged tools like saws are key for the first year of survival. A miter saw can turn a week's worth of work into a couple of hours. Even the Amish's brother tribe Mennonites use power tools. They can raise a barn a little faster.
Great reminders and check list. Thanks!
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching!
Great video man. I'm new at this and today I crossed the three week mark for preps. I want to cross the three month preps by next month
Maxi pads and tampons are excellent wound covers
one thing not mentioned was watering cans. When you have no power or water pressure a hose won't do you any good ,you're going to need something to water your plants.
Tea tree essential oil for most first aid needs and also
Manuka Honey for internal and external wounds and/or burns.
😊thanks for the tips.
As for handles for garden tools, shovels you can cut limbs ,sticks to replace handles in shovels, rakes, hoes. I have found several different old used rakes and such that was missing handles at yard sales, junk stores and used limbs,wood sticks cut down to use for handles and they work very well.
Got all of this and much more
Great information!
Great reminders, thanks 😊
You’re welcome Donna! Thanks for watching!
I just saw a video about oil pulling with coconut oil. It keeps teeth and gums healty. I think I will stockpile on that as well.
Zippos are alright on fuel if you go the butane route.
9 volt battery and steel wool works well
I'm lucky enough to have a ton of tools handed down from my parents. These shovels, rakes, picks, are from the 60's and 70's. I don't know what the handles are made of, (ash?), but they have stood the test of time. I never leave them outside, once in a while I actually have time to put oil on them and store them for winter, but not always. Another thing that I plan on doing (besides giving the electric company the boot), is having a DC freezer as opposed to a refrigerator. If you can make ice, you can use coolers, or put a big block of it in the non-working refrigerator, like the 'ice box' of yesteryear. When all is said and done, if you have a way to have some power, and you've got your food put by, your 90-percent 'there'.
Thanks for sharing!
Fresnel/magnifying sheets from an A4 size (to start fires) and TV sized (to start fires and possibly cook with). I found the credit card sized magnifying card to be almost useless and I think you shouldn't go any smaller than an A4 sized one. Obviously this is an unlimited fire starting source, just protect it from UV degradation. They would also make great bartering items.
That was pretty thorough. I just ordered that medical book that you have there from Dr Bones and Nurse Amy. Going to check out some of your other videos cheers from Canada.
You need refillable lighters propane torch and tanks and some sets of steel and flints candles or raw wax and wicks
Great video. Maybe I missed it, or it's in another video, but I recommend some lumber and fasteners if you have space to store them. Not an entire lumber yard but a few boards for barricades, fabricating something, etc.
For the candles, you can buy decorative candle lanterns at walmart and hang them from the ceiling or wall hooks. I picked one up a few years ago for $15, made of metal and glass, and while it says to use LED candle lights, I have only used it with real candles and never had any issue. I've burned tea lights, votives, quart jar size, and the tall memorial candles from the dollar tree. Keeps it out of the way of kids/animals and while I've never had it happen, if the candle is defective and "explodes", the wax would be contained. I've actually wanted to get a few more of them because it's worked so well.
The Firefox books are good to have
I’m new to your channel. Just wanted to say if you’re sensitive to fragrances or asthmatic, buy unscented candles and lantern fuel because it Will definitely trigger it. I would also mention over the counter allergy meds. My son in-law got bit by a bee and had an bad allergic reaction. My daughter gave him an allergy pill and it prevented him from anaphylactic shock. She did the same when her dog got stung also. I’d also recommend a knife sharpener and extra knives. Great video! Thanks so much for sharing!
YES THKS
Thanks for watching David!
Dryer lint works well for starting a fire.
I save a ton of this every time I clean out the lint filter.
activated charcoal.
Wire for holding things together
Cool information! Thumb up and Subscribe!
You mentioned clothing. What about extra clothing one size larger and one size smaller. In case stuff hits the fan, it's a sinch we won't be eating as much or eating right. Just a thought.
Dryer lint is great fire starter
The old ways book is good reference material
When starting a fire, use a lighter to light a candle. Then use the candle to start the fire. Much easier and less expensive.
Other things that would be good, an off grid (hand operated) washer. Clean clothes last longer! You can also get a hand cranked sewing machine. We haven't had electricity for that long and before we had that, we had hand crank or foot treadle sewing machines. Even if you have a generator, it would be better to use alternative energy where you can, so running a washer or electric sewing machine would be just more thing your generator would have to contend with. In a long term situation, the more you demand of your generator results in it wearing out quicker. Then, there WILL come a point when your solar panels go kaput, your generator just stops working...and, well, candles and lanterns are GREAT for giving you light, but they don't clean or mend clothes very well...
Good ideas! Thanks for sharing!
Solar lights with a Solar panel on top will last for years. I have one in my garage with the panel outside it goes on every time I go into the garage it has been working for four years
Use olive oil instead of lantern oil. If tipped over, flash fires are less often. They also less smoke.
Pool chlorine tablets
A air rifle can make sense they are quieter than a .22 and do well on close small critters. anareefective
Internal air seals go brittle and fail over time. Great for short term, 22lr is much superior for long term storage though
@@CB-A6KZ there are some quite .22 rounds that are about as quiet as an air rifle and perfectly adequate for small game and even defense in a pinch.
If you need antibioitics for your fish, rabbits, horses, birds, etc, it will be prohibited to buy them without a vet's prescription as of June1st.
I find this unconstitutional .
