Red brick walls. It will stop most bullets. Technically you only need to go up to your windows, or about halfway up your walls. If you're uphill, you don't need much brick wall; if you're downhill, you need more brick wall. This particular prep won't get your neighbors in a buzz; you're just renovating, and you like brick.

Your living room bay window is an extreme weakness in your defenses, as are your glass patio doors; if you don't wish to get rid of them, you will have to defend them when the time comes (sandbags, plywood, caltrops, etc).
Invest in steel shutters for your windows. Not decorative shutters, working shutters, even if you never use them to stop bullets, they can still be used to stop wind blown objects, hand thrown objects. Again, it won't raise red flags for you neighbors, you just think shutters are cool accents.
Likewise, steel roofing will make water catchment easier in a number of ways. Bird dropping will wash away easier in the rain, and you won't get tarry grit as with asphalt shingles.

For the extra paranoid, you can buy bolts of kevlar, and make your own curtains and I guess blankets. The secret to kevlar body armor is that it's not taut, it moves freely with the impact, so free hanging kevlar drapes is an adequate defensive measure. Hell, it has a nice grid weave to it, so you can needlepoint/cross-stitch pretty motifs and protect whole rooms with tapestries... while also increasing R-value. Again, everyone has drapes; and that family portrait tapestry... you got one damn fine wife. You could even use them to hide things like your library, or... other... stuff, like... secret doors? This is expensive, but once you get into it, you're limited only by your imagination, and... pocket depth.

Also, it might seem odd to cover your walls with planters, but you can claim to be a hipster, which will completely disassociate yourself from prepper. Many plants thrive in sandy soil, sand being a good bullet stop (which can reduce damage to your brick), and it will also increase R-value, while not waving red flags.

Yes, stop a .22, but any rifle in centre fire will go through.
@@aaron042671 223 anf 556 is stoped by one side or one like wall of a cinder block, and if u fill that block with sand or concrete that buddys almost bullet proof, 2 layers or even 1 layer of brink will massively slow down and stop most rounds on top of haveing large planters thats some good ass grey man defense right there
Plants can also help give you a fresh supply of oxygen if you have to stay holed up in your house with windows and doors closed.
The real question is how long they will stop bullets for. A brick will almost certainly stop a bullet, but shatter in the process because it is brittle. So, what stops the second bullet? Concrete has a similar problem, it may take more hits, depends on how it was poured, what the formula was, was it reinforced, but sooner or later it will get chipped away, as will wood. Sandbags will leak as they get more holes. If you want to stop a random stray shot most of these things are fine though you may want a stockpile of replacements, but if you become the target of a deliberate assault it may not go so well, for example what if the attackers are on your roof with, say, a chainsaw? But even steel can be breached by a determined assailant if he has enough time. Also, bullets aren't the only thing that can be thrown at your house, how fire resistant are you? Armour is fine, but don't make it your only defense. A castle is formidable, but it works much better with active defenders fighting back from its walls. Barring that an escape route that lets you get out and run while the baddies are trying to get in and don't notice.

One would assume, that if you're of a mind for defensive strategies, then you would no longer be in a location that got to the scenario you describe. Answering it, is moot.
There's a joke here in Mexico that the government collapses overnight and the only reason people noticed was that life improved for everyone.
Sad part is that joke is probably how it actually would play out lol and hi from Brisbane Australia
I'm Mexican, and i know that would be true XD
So, sorry to be stupid, but here in America when things go wrong, we vote to change the government. Why aren't you doing that?
Isn't there a civil war going on in Mexico right now? Sandanistas? Why not just murder all the corrupt cops and officials and start over?
@@evanx383 Why do you think so many people are immigrating to America? XD
Not so sure it would be much different in the US.
It will be complete anarchy after a week. Law Enforcement will go home to protect their own. Most areas will be left to defend/protect themselves.
I agree. The first few days people won't realize what's going on. But when they start to run out of food and realize there is no more desperation will set in.
At that point the people with the GUNS and Ammo (Cops/armed security guards) are kings in the streets. Living in California Im a sitting duck waiting to be slaughtered. Normal good citizens cant own no weapons here. All we have are knives and bats
In Earth 2100 film, 3 years after Caspian Fever outbreak began, America fell into anarchy. Yes, a pandemic can cause power grids to fail.
"Looting was rampant. Most of the police force were deserted. The mayor was nowhere to be found. We waited for the President or the National Guard to appear... but no one came. That's when it dawned on us, that the government, like so much else, had failed."
Why are soldiers not all going home after a week of war, choosing to protect their family instead? ;)
@@everettfanor1989 Stop calling trash kings.
I am a federal police officer in the U.S. With that having been said, I can assure you, It's not going to take me a week for me to say the hell with this job when SHTF. Family, will ALWAYS come first!!! And, I can also assure you that there is NO WAY IN HELL I'm going door to door to confiscate shit. I am a firm believer in your inherent right to protect yourself, and the ones you love. And, I believe in a constitutional government. So, if/when that goes away...then I won't be a cop anymore.
What agency? I ask because I have nver head of federal "police " in the U.S.. Federal Agents or even Federal Law Enforcement however, in my experience, they have always been very adamant to distinguish themselves from Police.
Please dont take this as my calling you a liar as that is not my intention. I am truly curious about it.
The Patriot Act gives the government full rights to take food past a two week supply so you are enforcing a constitutional law. Homeland and local enforcement would probably be enforcing evacuations and home checks. Martial law changes everything. Always has and always will. Just a fact of life.
Pretty damn postive that when it hits hard, you will not see a cop ANYWHERE!
@@kenyonbissett3512 When shtf cops are going to be too busy trying to maintain control to be going door to door, at first anyway. That`ll give you a little time to hide your stash.
12:50 I was telling a friend of mine this same thing, you’d not only want to look malnourished like everyone else but also never letting people see you eating, it would let people know you’ve got food and supplies.
This is the best reason to NOT live in populated areas. When people are starving it's obvious who has food.

Off grid communities are best solution
Experienced a typhoon in the Philippines. Flooding, black out, no water, no hospital, no government, dead telephones and internet...yes, I think prepping is very practical wherever, whenever you are.
You really never want to depend on the government for anything. Even without a disaster, they still struggle to do the basics well. Self-reliance is the only way to go. The youth today seem to want to rely more and more on the government instead of themselves. That is a mistake.
@@dahveed284 Yep, and this is one of the reasons, the deathtoll will be way higher.
Z Channel Hurricane Matthew had knocked out power to my neighborhood for 2 weeks. Fortunately for us and some of our neighbors (we ran an extension cord to give them some relief) we have a generator that kept things almost bearable.
As a note for preppers, we had some tree branches fall in our pool from the storm and by the time we were able to start clearing the yard; it had gone a dark mossy green and we couldn’t see to the bottom. If we had to, we might have been able to filter and sterilize it for drinking, but think twice about relying on your pool as a secure water supply. (Mind you, we live in the tropics, maybe this would be less of a problem in colder climates?)
We call it a brown out in the philippines ... not a black out ...

@@JoseMartinez-jw2dy society at large would be fked. But that doesn't mean that you have to suffer as everyone else is suffering.
And use rail lines to travel. The roads will be used more.
exactly one year ago you posted this, I'm almost 100 days in the wilderness (satellite internet),(solar powered RV)!! Been a Gravy Train so far, no problems but I've also ran across zero people so far! Wild Hogs on the Campfire Rotisserie, I also brought lots of preps but haven't had to tap into them yet, saving those for winter just in case!
Too bad you dont manage to upload your own videos from where you are. They would be very interesting to watch. Maybe you change your mind on it?
It's good that you have managed to successfully been able to do this, I'm not willing to remove myself from society until I know society has removed itself from my neighborhood. The key to my survival is that I plan to have my plan in place so that I don't have to fear SHTF.
You’ll eventually need people with all that technology you have
Your own land??
I love how you claimed not to be an expert but giving expert advice.
One thing not really considered when speaking about SHTF medical is electrolytes. We can store bottled gatoraide type stuff as well as powdered electrolytes for the bug out scenario. If we get sick we will need to have these in our preps.
I've been grabbing the ice pop versions of that for space reasons I figured at the worst I can toss it in water to stretch it
That is a fantastic tip. Thanks.
@@brianrichard8310 Welcome! :)
good point
Easy electrolytes: salt, potassium (nosalt), magnesium supplements, and calcium (tums). Much longer shelf life then liquid gateraid
I would suggest that everyone keep their clothes that are too big...or buy some if you need. During the depression people who fit in their clothes were raided for being food hoarders. Take a look at some of the old photos. No mater what your size this gives the impression of lack of food. This would work even more if it lasts longer than three months.
Good download!
Very good idea.
Urban camo, when I go to a new area I always buy a local t shirt or hoodie. College team, pro sports. It's funny how your treated.
Very clever idea! Now I have a reason to keep those "fat pants" haha. Brilliant!!
Alex, this is damn intelligent. Thank you for sharing something helpful.
Yep. Spot on. We call our extras hand me ups. It's an easy way to stay grey in your community.
I just purchased a harvest right freeze dryer and instead of throwing away leftovers I'm freeze drying them for future use. We are running out of places to keep food preps I'm making. Instead of looking for a 12 pound turkey for Thanksgiving, I got the biggest one I could find and turned the leftovers into preps.
Me too!
I've always be a prepped all my life. My mother was raised during the depression. So her and dad taught us all 7 of us how to survive. We've canned everything we can.
I must really thank the Boy Scouts for a lot of my love of the forest, lakes, animals etc. They taught a lot of "prepper" basics, way back in the 1960's. Making fires, catching and preparing fish, shelter making. Seems we could use a lot more of that teaching now

this is no doomsday fantasy thing. we just went through 5 tornadoes, 2 dam breeches, and a massive 3 state 5 river flood, so I'm loading up for exactly this scenario
Yep rite here in Tulsa Oklahoma we got it bad
Stillwater, OK here. I live on a hill but if the water had stayed high it would’ve been more than one day that I wouldn’t have been able to get out.
Best wishes. Things don't have to be nation wide to be SHTF. I've been watching a few homesteader channels and some of the locations seem to be getting really hit with weather disasters lately.
Hope you are getting through it OK
All that and you think a power outage is going to last 100 days. All these percentages of what will happen "if" are for people that like to imagine scenarios. Our smartest minds imagine all these scenarios and they support them with mathematical proof, but reality is we don't really know what the sun is outside of what we can see here from Earth. Nobody can physically go to the sun or can physically study the sun with all our senses and can only study it with our sense of sight. Majority of the information provided to us by science is possibly imaginary and possibly only exist in words and numbers because we can't physically go to the sun to study it. A mass coronal ejection is possibly a made up imaginary threat to earth. All we really know about the sun is that it's a bright warm light and it lights up the earth and grows plants and other things. So people fearing too much light coming from the sun to hit the earth is possibly the least likely doomsday scenario that'll happen. Global economic collapse and thermo-Nuclear War with China and Russia or a civil war or simply put differences between peoples on earth is most likely going to cause a doomsday event before too much light from the sun hitting the earth. Maybe even earthquakes, they are saying the moon is slowing Earth's orbit currently and is going to cause some earthquakes around the worldwide but they don't describe a doomsday scenario but possibly some isolated events will happen.
I'm glad I taught my daughter's how to garden hunt fish and preserve food. Wasn't a matter of prepping..im on a small farm have been my whole life I suggest people learn now from farmers..classes...
books..etc..start now
I would suggest using the solar powered motion detection lights outdoors around your property. Harbor freight sells them, Dollar stores sell the solar pavements lights for, yeah, a buck apiece, etc. Use your dehumidifier for clean water, we do, a few gallons a day.
And also the driveway sensors.. works great to alarm trails and paths aswell
We are a bicycle ride from hurricane Harvey ground zero. Our property sustained some damage but we were fortunate compared to others. I returned after 24 hours to what most resembled a war zone. Destruction everywhere, no power, no phones, no internet... nothing. Being in Texas everyone was armed so we saw no social disorder (many guns make for polite citizens). My EDC were a side arm and a tactical light. I never had to draw a weapon but drew my light dozens of times a day. A good light and extra batteries is vital. Water was a major concern for many but our well remained out of flood water and works with our generator. Communication was most important. I'm a ham licensed operator and got a voice patch to family almost daily. I keep some long wire antennas for both 80M and 40M bands that are easy to set up. Communication is a major link to sanity. Great topic.
A suggestion for your fellow would be prepared citizens good Sir? Would be that you make a video about ham radio operation. We could use a beginners class to be sure. A constant reminder of the power needed and the cost of said equipment should clarify it for those of us new to the idea or modern day Attention Defisite Hyperactivity Disorder sufferers. (Perpetual Gadget/Hand Wart sufferers). Please share your hobby.
Ham radio would be a real blessing. Are they expensive or take a lot of training?
We're in NW Florida, went through hurricane Ivan. We had a regular radio for our only source of information for weeks. It was a nightmare to go without power for so long. (But it was nice to see the stars at night.)
I'd like to know more about your experience. This is very practical.
Most are civilised. So it's more about being prepped. I think.
4 FLA hurricanes in my books. 😉
CindyKQ - Starting into ham radio is very easy with an army of assistance from other hams. They call these willing helpers "Elmers". Ham radio has levels of proficiency with the lowest being Technician Class. This has limited band available to you but the 2M band is much like cb was meant to be but with way more power. The mobile 2M in my truck reaches 50 miles routinely and provide valuable range for "difficult times". Next is General Class which opens up all the frequency and band use you will ever need. That's what I used to contact my family as soon as I got back following the storm. From south Texas I reached another ham in Missouri who relayed my message to my daughter in WA State. Later I had a very clear contact north of San Antonio who made a voice patch to my wife at Her brother's house near Ft. Hood. All this on a 100 W radio over a home made long wire antenna. They run on 12v but many have built in converters for 110vac. Testing isn't hard and the cost is $15/test cycle. I took both technician and general the same session for a combined $15. Ham radio is a close group of operators that police themselves. They willingly assist new hams but aggressively reject, locate, and report those who violate the rules. If they didn't the ham bands would end up like cb became. I strongly recommend ham radio for preparedness. The cost of radio equipment varies but can be had for less than the cost of a good sidearm. Well worth the investment. BTW - The FCC has removed the Morse Code requirements so the testing now is not a big challenge.

I'm a 50 year old man. My profession was a building engineer any older houses will have anywhere from 25 to 75 gallon water heaters. So, in a grid down situation, whatever water you have in your water tank, will be there when you need it. I don't think most people think about that. If you have a newer home, you probably have an instant hot water heater. That will do you no good. Just something to think about.

Maintain dental hygiene. The last thing you want in a grid down situation or SHTF is an abscess or a tooth that needs to be filled. Take care of things now or asap if thats the case now. Otherwise always brush and floss and stock up on such items !!!
A brick and a peice of string rips teeth out instantly and hardly any pain. Tie the string around the tooth, then to the brick, brace ya self, then just drop the brick, tooth out in seconds. Self dentistry!
Dentists are more of a priority than doctors on my list.

In the dollar stores they sell these cheap window/door alarms. Have a bunch of them to stick on places that you don't want to be touched and nobody expect that can be secured, as small boxes of food or ammo.
Keep some cards, non electronic games, books, activity books, paper and writing utensils at hand to keep you and your family busy, specially in the night shifts. Keep a storage of hard candy too, even if you are currently at diet. Those last a lot and is nice to have a treat in a stress situation [just don´t forget to brush your teeth!].

Theres so much rewarding gain from a more simpler lifestyle of homestead prepping. Your kicks actually try to chase your chickens and deef your goats...which breed, and make babies. Watching baby goats grow and vegetables across grow is living wonderfully. The feeling of hail on your garden and a dead baby goat is a subtle reminder of how frail life is.

Always remember noise and light discipline. Put on all your gear and jump up and down. If it makes a noise, secure that shit or expect to get shot. NO SMOKING AT NIGHT..EVER. No fires at night unless you are in an enclosed area or you have area supremacy. NEVER ever talk above a whisper at night. Travel only at night, hold up during the day. Have a plan of egress for anyplace you stay, even if its for the night/day or rest period.
Stick to the shadows, never run unless you need to. Always watch a road for a couple hours before crossing it. Cross only at night (if possible)
Never highlight yourself on ridge line.
If you are light skinned, or have oily complexion rub your face with soot/dirt/mud anything to break up the outline and profile of the human face.
When scouting ahead with binoculars never look towards the rising/setting/noon sun. IF YOU HAVE TOO, cover your lenses with cardboard with slits cut in them to see by or be in a deep shadow.
If you are trying to get home, get home without confrontation if possible. Be like a ghost or a wisp of smoke at night. NEVER draw attention to yourself. Fight only when cornered and fight to win
at any cost. Fight dirty first and foremost. Never shoot to wound, always shoot to kill.
If you are within 20 feet of an assailant and they have their weapon holstered, CHARGE THEM with your knife if you don't have your weapon already out. Unless they are a world champion quick draw shooter, you will almost always win the foot race. Outside of 20 feet, well you better hope you saw them first and have your weapon at the ready with a round chambered and your safety off.
Move as quietly as possible, think about every foot placement, noise travels far when there is no other back ground noise.
Always keep positive attitude. Embrace the suck and deal with it. Fear and panic will kill you quickly. SLOW DOWN and take your time during movements, have your head on a swivel. Be hyper vigilant.
Nothing says you can't be scared, just don't let it consume you.
I would add: drink, don’t eat. Would be a shame getting caught while taking a shit.
Great information 👍

It also slows you down to have excess food in your gut. Extra pounds. Eat when you're sedentary, not when you're moving.
When you started to talk about “20 feet” I realized your perceptual understanding is utter trash. It’s clear you have 0 combat experience. I know you’re full of it because I’ve been involved in physical sports for the larger part of my life. You’re negligent advice would result in death. I can only hope the people that have read your garbage will read my comment.
"embrace the suck" The most inspiring words about this I've ever heard.
A hot water tank holds anywhere from 25 to 100 gallons of clean water. There's a water spigot at the bottom of most tanks you can hook to a garden hose. When the power goes out and the people start leaving the area, the tanks in the homes around you can be a good source of clean water for awhile.
Water in the back of your toilet bowl is also clean
Good advice Mike. I'd definitely go after a hot water tank of water if I were desperate. But, just as general advice it should be noted that all hot water tanks use a self destructing Anode rod made from aluminum or magnesium to handle the electrolysis. In small doses the body can handle those elements. But, even using hot water from the tap to boil spaghetti is risky over time (hot water from a water heater must NEVER be used for potable water). Yeah, I know... there's always someone whose been doing it for years. But, it is risky and knowing that... if one must drink hot-water tank water, try to drink from other sources for a few days if possible. That'll help purge the kidneys and liver of those metals.
That's actually a good idea. My only concern is that the first couple of gallons are going to be full of "crud" from the bottom of the tank unless you are dilligent about draining it every year . . Like the owners manual says.
You will have to filter the water yourself using cloth ,sand and charcoal. Then boil it .then add 3 drops of regular bleach per 2 liter and cap it for long term use

@@lorieharris2776 Most people under the age of 50ish, don't know how to read a map, sad but true...
@@1dogelsa , absolutely true! My dad's in his 90's now. One of the many things he's made sure I know is map reading. My 11 year old gets so damn mad because I make him use, read and understand maps(as well other things that use to be common sense.) Too bad, so sad, he can be mad. Today's tech can be taken Tommorow but knowledge can be kept forever.
I keep trying to tell people if the grid goes down their cell phone and gps is not going to work. They look at me like I am crazy. So many do not understand how those things work they just push a button and instantly have knowledge on the screen. But without towers those things are useless. I have a set of road maps and a set of TOPO maps and several compasses. My kids learned how to use them, and perhaps one day that knowledge will come in handy.
I won't even be able to prepare, I'm only a teen and my parents aren't even into prepping. I'm gonna have to make my own bug out bag.

Got grandparents living more rurally? Any family in rural areas? Make them your summer vacation location. Help them with anything they need. That will be your bug out location. Your bug out bag needs to be packed to get you there. Get a bicycle and learn how to fix it. That’s your mode of transportation. Join the boy-scouts. It’s low key hands on skills. And take up hiking.
You have to stay strong. Ask for an allowance, and use it to buy packages of thing that are light. Water pouches, tuna in pouches, crackers, these types of things, bandages, ointments take them out of there boxes and put them in zip lock bags, will be easier to carry. Good Luck
Get a bow, be proficient. Stay away from people. Get a dog, learn to train it and use it as a weapon. No lap dogs.
35-50 pound draw will kill any human and most animals. Learn what type of broad heads you need for your area. Get at least 2 dozen arrows.
Do a round of the neighborhood saying you will work for food or exchange anything you can for food... should get suspicions down a lot.
And hit the bread lines. It makes you look hungry. You want to extend your preps anyway.
Good way to become the victim of violence, you'd better pave the way beforehand like the video suggested or otherwise stay put where you are, most people will not like SHTF visitors no matter what the status of your relationship before.
Or just band together with them and build a subsistence community. Ideally ahead of time. We know things are going to become gradually worse due to climate change. We need to prep for that, but not alone. The more people you have within your commune by then the safer it is, the more likely you are to stay sane, the more workforce you have, the more you can specialize people, the more negotiation power you have, the more services you can provide, the more lives you can save. Humans are the mightiest species on earth because of our exceptional ability to work together and support each other. Going alone when disaster strikes is extremely dangerous.
Flashahol Until 2 months in and people can see a healthy/ plump face. It’s actually the biggest giveaway in situations like this. Your face will LITERALLY appear different than those starving or rationing. If you’re a prepper with neighbors, you better hope they’ve stored up on food too, because you’re going to have to gun down desperate intruders. A lot of neighbors in circumstances like this will just burn down your house in rage after a couple days of you refusing to open your door to help them (This is of course in the event they have *seen* you and highly suspect you to be hiding out with your supplies). Scorn desperation is the most deadly thing you can encounter.
@@JourneymanJacob so what you're saying is I need makeup contouring skills to survive
This reminds me.
I need to replace all my dead solar yard lights and stock up some extras because you can bring a few indoors for emergency lighting and put them back out in the morning.
I've done that before when my electricity goes out in the house. Just grab 2 or 3 solar lights and bring them inside. I'm glad you mentioned that for others to see and think about.
Keep a few in a plastic trashcan inside of a metal one as a makeshift faraday cage. Radio or Ham Radio too, @@rebellucy5610
Remember, in a blackout, any light can be seen miles away. even a lit cigarette
One of the things I've never various preppers mention adding to their supplies are things that would be beneficial for mental health in a long term catastrophe. Like a deck of cards, a trivia game, puzzles ect. It would definitely make staying indoors for 3 months more bearable!!
Also crayons reams of computer paper books
A deck of cards, small holy book (bible,torah,quran) or any book can keep you focused in a SHTF or survival situation I never knew until week 6 in the field or on deployment how much it actually helps
You should create a list or spreadsheet of items you think everyone should have on had to survive the first 100 days. Would be a great followup video from all aspects.
You need the things you use everyday. And lots of extra water.

Excellent summary, @Canadian Prepper! Most people, I think, forget about *sanitation* . From LIVING OUT IN the desert several times, for a month at a time each time, I can say the following from that experience: *your* *body* *will* *adapt* *if* *you* *let* *it*: *1* you can clean up with less than a liter, b/c your body will adapt if you let it; your body gets greasy quickly right now, in large part because it has to replenish what you constantly wash away; *2* *DON'T* *USE* anti-microbial (aka germicidal, anti-bacterial) soap (incl lye) on your body (incl hands most of the time, but *especially* "sensitive areas") as it kills almost all bacteria, and the smelly harmful ones will grow back fastest, getting better at it each time you clear the slate (exceptions: at/ immediately surrounding the site on your body of a bacterial infection, or at the direction of a knowledgeable healthcare worker)...look up what even Patriot Nurse and the CDC say about antibacterial soaps if you don't believe me; *3* sweating for a month outdoors in the desert without washing your hair will leave it salty and a bit dusty, but not greasy or stinky (ymmv, but I've never seen this not be true); *4* WAG BAGS--they're legit and safe and sanitary and high-capacity, but finite, so use them when you don't have a better option like flushing or *properly* burying (note: composting is prob better, but DON'T garden with it unless you know EXACTLY WTFeces you're doing...unclean things are easy to get wrong and there will be no safety net); *5* females typically need to pay more attention to sensitive bodily sanitation than males, and therefor should not go more than a week without at least one *good* cleaning (bird bath/shower/whatever) ...consider having the males save up what's left of their allotted liter-or-less over a week to give to the females at the end of it, while also putting a portion of those savings toward a higher tier of savings, to be drawn from individually on a monthly basis; *6* people who shave (to the skin) under their arms or under their torso tend to have more problems with said skin, and bacteria entering the body at the shaving site; *7*change your dang socks and underwear, and wash your daggum hands after using the bathroom and before eating!
I just finished planting my garden. Tilling ,weeding, seeding, etc. I lost 10 lbs fast in a few weeks. Had to up my cal intake.
thunderkss That's why I love no-till gardening! (Among other reasons, less inputs, soil regeneration, etc). It's used far less physical energy than traditional gardening, lower your caloric intake.
What I would recommend is for people to stay on the good side with their neighbors. So many people don't neighbor with those who live nearby. If you have an on-going feud with one or more of your neighbors, what do you think will happen when times get tough? If you live in a community where they have bars on the entrance doors and windows, you're already at a disadvantage. If your neighbors have build Fort Apache style fences between their homes, you're at a disadvantage already. If someone new moves into your neighborhood, make the effort to introduce yourself to them and extend a hand of greeting. Your best defense against break-ins and looting after it all goes South is having a couple of good neighbors who keep any eye on your place when you're gone to the store. It doesn't cost you anything to wave, using all of your fingers, when you drive past your neighbor's house and you see him standing in his yard.
This. Community was absolutely vital before modern technology
In the last 18 months, all of my immediate family has moved within walking distance(less than 1 mile) of each other, have made a plan to get there, keep our tanks full and extra gas, have done dry runs of walking to/from each others homes during lockdown for exercise. Have started tracking the weather with farmers almanac and figuring out which wild plants are edible in our area.
👍👍👍
We live in a rural area with well and septic and lots of land. 1) solar generator to run the well. 2) Air rifle for small game hunting (they are effective and pretty silent.)
I was told a well requires 240 not the 110 solar generators produce, you seem to have this planned, was I given the wrong information?
it depends on the depth of the well you could use a shallow well pump that is 110 and can pump down to 60 feet, but it depends on the head pressure so you can also double pumps, to go deeper. but you are correct, deep well pump that is submersible is generally a 220 - 240 volt. in an off-grid situation a system can be put together to power the high voltage 220 pump, by using a large enough generator or by pairing inverters from a solar or wind battery system.
@@duanejackson6718 I really need to check into this. I just had a 420ft well installed last November and I have been concerned about what I would do without electricity even if it was just for a few hours. Good to know it's possible to do something.
My hope was to build a large enough DIY solar generator to handle the load. Sorry for the confusion. Tho a few hundred feet of rope and a sturdy bucket and I can reach the well water by hand. But of course I don't want to contaminate the aquifer.
WonderSoul could you use a bicycle to generate enough electric to pump water?
Probably one of the best prepping channels I've found. Fresh information, researched and practical. Thanks for the upload!
The 9 most terrifying words of the English language are: I’m from the government and I’m here to help

I got the guns..lacking on ammo :/
I’m by no means as full of prepper knowledge as the Canadian Prepper, but I have a good suggestion for y’all.It builds on getting to know the community.I’d suggest, or what I will do, is have 2 sets of basic items for your neighbors.Maybe an extra fire extinguisher.That way if there is a neighbor that has a fire,but not extinguisher ,you can help them out.Then that would definitely raise your relationship with them.
Just have an extra set of basic items( nothing crazy like prepping items to not attract attention to yourself)that you could lend a neighbor.
I know y’all probably already know that or maybe this is useless, but the idea came to mind and thought I’d share it with y’all.
No ideas are useless! Sometimes people need to hear things a few times from different people before it really sinks in!
Smart. Very smart.
Well, without your neighbors helping you, life will end quickly for you and all of us....for sure you will have to give items to neighbors, and most likely have to risk your life for them as well....The modern era of we are independent and self reliant wont last 72 hours in a melt down....
Stay inside, cover windows, lock down the doors, listen to grundig radio, stay quite, lights out at sunset, perimeter watch overnight. Eyes open, no fear, be safe everyone.

Just putting some survival tips here when the SHTF 👇
I just wanted to expand on your point about how important it is to create a community of people you can trust because community is key to any long term survival. Having said that, here are a few other things to think about:
Deceit is your friend when it comes to security:-
1/ where possible create hidden ‘look outs’ around your main ‘house’ that provide the best view of that house - those who seek illicit entry will expect you to be inside that house not outside - those approaching at night in stealth are not your friends - shoot to kill
2/for those who threaten to take your preps by force - provide them with poisoned food and /or beverages - cyanide is quick and effective.
3/any material you have on hand can be used to decrease the penetration power of firearms -board up windows and doors inside and outs and fill the cavity between with sand or cardboard or towels or any other materials at hand - create sandbags out of your sacks of chicken feed and dog kibble, stuff pillow cases with towels, fill metal and plastic garbage cans and garbage bags with dirt and gravel and stack against interior walls. Same with cardboard boxes.
4/a detached out building - a garage or shed- lined with ‘sandbags’ can provide an excellent secondary location from which to flank intruders on your property.
5/in terms of increasing your personal ‘value’ get training in CPR and firearms and keep your certificate handy. Encourage your loved ones and friends to do the same.. And do not hesitate to ‘embellish’ your skill set - lying can help you protect yourself and your preps - preps you have had the foresight to stockpile. So tell those who would harm you whatever they need to hear I.e. that you are a trained paramedic, nurse, horticulturist- you get the idea.
Thanks again for really great, thought provoking, realistic post about what we may all face if and when the SHTF.
this is woke thank you!!!
Don't kill me! I'm a supermodel! ❤️
Live in a rural location, have a wood stove, and hand saws to cut as gas will run out. Solar panel to charge deep cycle battery that will in turn power battery charger to charge AA's, AAA's etc. We have a farm (veg, not animal). We have backyard hens for eggs. We have enough candles and lantern oil to last years.

That sounds nice. Where do you live?
What will you do when the feed runs out and the hens stop laying?

Great Video. So much to cover. I imagine those living in the countryside (depends on which season) who are not prepared will walk/ride bikes to larger cities expecting the government to have food drop places. (Even though cars run after a sun EMP, gasoline will run out.) No meaningful food drops can occur if it involves the entire continent. For those living in the city (without gravity fed water supply), after 3 days many people will go to the country side for cleaner water and hope farmers might have food. In the process of leaving their shelter (house, apartment) these rural or urban people will be exposed to the weather, heat, or cold. So that stress added to their cuts and scratches and hunger will permit skin infections that worsen rapidly. Now, add in that most won't take the time to boil river water. Add in that most aren't use to walking 5 to 10 miles a day, etc. etc. So I argue that we will be surprised how fast things deteriorate. By 2 weeks there will be plenty of sick people and long before the 100 days I can see 20 to 40% of unprepared people dead and dying. Then, those without food, though they boiled all water, avoided cuts and trauma, will still become weak and starve to death. By 100 days only those who had stored food and access to clean water will be ok. Gangs will have formed from big cities. To survive they will have to eat the people they kill. In the country side, some of those unprepared will survive by hunting people. All animals will be shot and eaten in the first few weeks of the EMP. So how could there be anyone else but those with food who prepared and those who are cannibals. The BIG QUESTION is by 2 to 4 weeks in to this EMP disaster is "do you involve your unprepared neighbors? Can you live with seeing them (young men, women, children) starve to death?" If it is the early Fall, and you have food for 4 for one year, and you bring in 8 neighbors (which can easily go to 16 and then 30), now you all starve to death by April. Though defense will be an issue, I think starvation and seeing so much suffering will be the most to psychologically deal with for most. The further you are from large cities the less likely you will deal with gangs. I can't think of any event in history that would cause so much starvation so fast. There were times in Russia during Stalin, when he starved out whole populations. Also, North Korea has had issues with periods of starvation.
In the US, urban violence will begin immediately. Many thousands will die in the cities within the fist two weeks. Opposition to the gangs coming out of the city will kick in in the outermost burbs and will turn into total access denial in the rural areas. There would be virtually 0 support of those leaving the cities by the rural populace. Those so called fly over people will be in control. Even hardened gangs are no match for the country boys. When the military gives up trying to control the cities, most of them will be joining the country boys. Pray to God we don't ever see this. Trying to confiscate American guns and food would certainly cause this to happen.
I'm from South Australia. Last winter an unusually severe storm knocked out part of the power grid resulting in no power for several days - longer in some areas. I grew up in a rural area where power came from a generator and the only drinking water was collected and stored in tanks. I thought that living in the CBD would mean I would be almost immune from infrastructure breakdown but it takes very little for order to deteriorate. Because my brothers and I grew up learning to be self sufficient I had loads of candles, plenty of food and gas for cooking. Winter has just arrived in Australia and even though I was more prepared than most, I started watching prepper videos for tips on being more prepared. For me, these vids are the best along with ethical preppers and some others with non violent sensible advice. Thank you for taking the time to make and post them to youtube.
Great video! The first couple days will be OK and probably even a bit fun as people are partying and thinking this is so cool. Then after day 3 or 4 when they're out of food and getting scared it'll get hairy. Scary stuff!

Got my wife a bunch of solar powered patio lanterns and directional outdoor lights, new technology is great and could provide light inside or outside after charging all day, I always have picture hanging wire, mouse and rat traps that could be used to harvest squirrels, mice, rabbits, etc, even in the suburbs.

1st prep: Get out of debt; 2nd prep: Prepare for 3 months without power by stocking up food, water, security items, communication devices, power storage items, make plan to either bug in or out3rd prep: build food and water storage up to six months, buy seeds, start getting silver in 1 ounce coins, start making your house defensible, learn how to garden and do basic medical4th prep: continue to build food and water storage up to 12 months, have cash available, get prepared for water filtration and sanitation5th prep: remember to prepare first for stuff that is likely to happen in the near future and build on that
Great ideas, but wont work without neighborhood support and others...alone, with good plan, but dead...
Yeah, I forgot about networking because it's just something I do, it never occurred to me to point to the young people that they would have to make an EFFORT to network with THEIR neighbors and friends in PERSON to build that team they will need in the event of SHTF.
It’s hard to network when no one believes in prepping
I live on a sailboat and have 3 months of supplies on board. If or when it’s time, I’ll be watching from a distance.
Nice. That's my plan too, unfortunately not completely there yet.
Before 2020, I planned to liveaboard a sailboat part of the year when I retire in a few years. Now, it's my bugout plan, and I'm accelerating it. I live at the ocean in a hurricane and flood zone, so I always had 3 months of supplies; now increasing this.
Hy @Canadian prepper.. I have been watching you for a year! Thanks for all of your help!
If unattended, your livestock can become a target of theft. I have seen (and suffered from) Strangers enter empty lands and chop trees. Desperate people may steal chickens, kill cows, chop woods by violating your property. These things happen regularly in ordinary days, not just SHTF situation. Having guard dog, or placing traps may be one of the solutions.
One or two cannot control entire field everytime. As you sleep, enemy makes plans.
That's what improvised Claymore mines are for.

@Edward Calcut . You spend too much time on zombie apocalypse yt channels. Couldn't be bothered to read your War and Peace novel. Holster your keyboard and get out and get it done, though guy.
Edward Calcut barbed wire may not stop the intruders. Sometimes men need to change the way of thinking. Me as an Anatolian, researched traditional Anatolian architecture. Old wooden frame buildings had stone walled entry level, where livestock were being kept. The barn was a part of the housing unit. Second and third wooden frame stories were for men and women. Because of need for privacy and Islamic culture, garden walls were high as 2.5 meters.
If intruders cannot see, then they cannot know. They cannot risk entering the housing unit without expecting a firefight.
Having a barn as a part of housing comes with its problems. Moisture, air circulation problems etc...
abradolf lincler other critters can be on two legs too😂 haha
The common denominator is people... Get the hell away from the major city hell holes. The more people the more danger, suffering and drama..
Problem is, everyone else is thinking the same thing. The roads will be clogged from accidents and abandoned vehicles. Bicycles are great, but when was the last time you hopped on your bike for a 100+ mile bike ride? I used to do several 100+ mile bike rides a year and they take a lot out of you (5000+ calories). And that's with a lightweight carbon bike and nothing else but water bottles. Try that with a hiking backpack, rifle or pistol, and other gear.
I would rather bug in. I have all my supplies at home and just need food to supplementmy supplies. I have an unlimited supply of water 1 block from my residence. I just need to desalinate it, the sun works perfectly for that.
I can fish, but honestly, I hate fishing and I suck at it. I can hunt. But not much to hunt where I live, so fish (clams and mussels are pretty abundant here too), rice and beans it is.

Thanks CP... We are working the issues. I recommend reading about the siege of Sarajevo. The survivors tell how they made it
Having a plan is essential. I would then work that plan a few times a month. Create scenarios and think about how to respond.

Good advice to always keep to yourself your fears and concerns

Hibernation ! Living in the countryside pretty much keep as low a profile as poss , taking long walks to remote camps , ( this will help with boredom/ stress ) when and or if needed , but mostly just laying low , using well water , rain water to flush (septic sewage ) . 1 million cals stored ( in preparation for Brexit clusterfuck , living in Scotland ) . Even i will not be immune to the madness of a SHTF situation .

Shame on me, but i never thought about trash bags for my prep. I WILL be heading to Sams Club to get a case this week. Thanks for all your info. Keep up the great work.
Smaller zip lock bags can be used to store water.
I love your posts. I am a city dweller living in a condo. preparedness is always on my mind. With limited storage, I still believe I'm good for at least 30 days. However, you have pointed out so many things I have not considered. Thank you !

Very informative video. As usual. Definitely have to know your element. Your environment. What I started doing was drilling myself. My grandfather once told me to,,, no matter what you do or where you go always have a contingency plan. If you're driving in your car and something happens (which we all pray it doesn't). If you have to make the decision to walk,, keep a backpack with some sort of snacks and water. Me being a trash man for 25 years,, I've learned first hand to always be prepared.

@joetothesanders Do that with purslane, if you find a wild one. Very hardy and responds well to getting extra water.
Very well thought out. You always make good sense, which is what everyone needs, to carry on.
I personally would add 2 things to your list; add inflatable boat or raft… life jackets…. Recent years the flood activities had increased tremendously …deserts are turning into rivers and flooding various places where literally thousands of people are drowning…. Prepare at least 1 back pack ready to go full of water, energy bars, protein snacks, little comfort food with a lot of calories should last at least several days for every family member.

Hi - I just want to thank you for working so hard to help people understand how to prepare. I have learned so much from you. Thank you
Loved the psychological notes and the improvisation mindset. I've read that for the average city dweller, it only takes 3 missed meals in a row for them to start looting.
Couple of my ideas:
-don't tell anyone about your prepping EVEN BEFORE SHTF. The reason is, as Canadian Prepper says, is when people are desperate they'll go after anyone who might have supplies. You don't want to be known as the crazy survivalist/prepper in your community, those same stories will come back in the form of a raid.
-practice at the gun range. I know a serious prepper with an AR-15 and 4,000 rounds of ammo who has never shot it. After 2 years of going once a month here are some notes:
-shooting a pistol accurately at a paper target 30 feet away isn't easy. I can do it 9/10 times into the outer bullseye - with no pressure, unlimited time, with good lighting and enough sleep.
-Jams/misfires can be a serious problem. Some guns just can't handle some kinds of ammo. Problems go up with a brand-new gun and/or cheap ammo
-make absolutely sure you can clear jams from your main survival piece
-make absolutely sure your ammo is compatible with your gun. Suggested method is to shoot 200 rounds. If there are any jams or misfires, switch brands of ammo and try again. Only stock up on ammo that passes this test. Talk to your local gun enthusiast about a good, reliable piece and a high-quality ammo. My friend with teh AR-15 bought it all at walmart (.223) because he got a good deal. I hope he never finds out the hard way that cheap ammo jams.
-ordinary pistol target rounds are not as good as hollow point rounds for stopping people.
-learn how to shoot rifles and shotguns. Try using a wide variety of guns to get a feel for them, the common safety mechanisms, etc. If SHTF you might have to pick up an unfamiliar weapon.
-think about realistic scenarios in which you may have to use a gun. Determine in advance whether you'll waste a precious bullet on a warning shot, or on a fleeing looter
-realize that if SHTF you may have to kill people. Honestly, without internalizing this idea, a gun is almost worse than useless... just a deterrent in a 1v1 or small group situation.
-MOST important: when it comes to using guns, no one 'rises to the occasion' like in the movies. Anyone short of an expert shooter with combat experience will perform FAR worse in reality than they do in practice. The rule is 1/2 as good as your best day of training.
-stock up on vitamins. Getting sick is a no-no. Living off canned goods and twinkies there's a good chance you won't get enough vitamins. Especially for the 100 day scenario, you want to start taking vitamin C from day 1
-turn off ANY device that broadcasts a signal, especially wi-fi points, phone microcells, etc. If you have power and internet, someone with a phone can detect your signal and that makes you a target.
-night vision goggles. Turn the darkness into an ally. The best looters/raiders will have them.
Way too many people buy guns that are too powerful to fire accurately when they are freaked out and/or having to draw quickly under immediate threat. A few accurate shots from say a .380 or even a .22 Cal pistol would be a lot more effective than innacurate shots from .40 Cal. Or .45 ACP. Just saying...
ty!!!
I live in a very small rural community in the Scottish highlands by a loch, on which i have a self sufficient fishing boat.. Bring it on!
Very....very good, outstanding.,well done thankful for your contribution !!!👍🙌😉🇵🇷

You need a Rocket Stove for emergency (or camping lol) unit to cook on with a cast iron and veryyyy little wood.
2017 the US Virgin Islands had to back to back category five hurricane ‘s, I was without electricity for 85 days. Lots of lessons learned. Food and supplies were very difficult to come by during this time.
I know that I can survive long-term without electricity due to preparedness, and lessons learned
One word I always miss in these videos:
Potatoes.
Great shelf life, plenty calories and you can prepare them without water if you have a shortage...
I used to buy #60 before winter, every yr. Now that I'm older, I think #30 would be good enough. Great idea you had.

My family gets 75kg every fall to get us through the winter...
In my opinion the perfect survival food!
In my estimation the key is gather into a central location like a church, gather supplies there, and distribute them to each person according to their needs. Trust is the most important thing, the second is organization. if you have those things you will have no problems protecting your preps and making sure everyone is cared for. There will be those who come in with nothing, but even those people can earn they keep by the work they do. If you are in a city you can have a group of scavangers who can find supplies, security, technology, care givers, people with medical training, and engineers who can build if needed. My church is the perfect bugout loation because it's in a remote location, it's big enough to support 1200 people. it has enough land to effectively farm and it's own unlimited water supply from an underground well. Everyone in my church knows if SHTF happens we gather there.
You are fortunate.
The content you produce because of your research make you an expert. I have used your videos as a learning tool for family and friends on many occasions.
Great work you're doing!
To address things like the "Gridlock" situation, I would encourage ppl to learn how to operate different vehicles (ESPECIALLY MOTORCYCLES). I myself took it to the EXTREME, extreme and learned how to fly planes.
I know, it sounds crazy, but you never know. Keep up the good works!
Great video. It would be an interesting series to watch you break down 100 days on events like:
pandemic,
financial collapse,
Political invasion or border collapse
Natural disaster (volcano, fault line splitting super earthquakes)
Even into the so unlikely it is absurd
Tyrannical government takeover
Alien invasion
Etc it would be interesting what information would change.
read "One Second After"
A. Snow
I read it
excellent book
"Now to further contextualize this, let's say it happens right now."
*power goes out, doesn't get to finish video* 🙁
CP When will you do more "Surviving the First 100 Days of Collapse" videos with different scenarios? I would love to watch one with a global virus outbreak, as that is also a possible disaster we could face in our lifetimes.
Are you always so prophet? You nailed that one!
GREAT VID. SUPER INFORMATIVE !! THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO !!
As you mentioned cashe’s are gonna be the way to go. Redundantcy will be key. Have plenty of water and a way out of all situations if possible, if things get real bad people who used to be your friends will turn on you and be looking for a hand out.
🙏🏼Great video brother. Thank you for this awesome information of survival, much appreciated. May YAH continue to bless you and yours🙏🏼
Well, well! Hello Sweet sister Lupe! How wonderful to run into you! May our Father bless you!
