    I used to use TEMU. I got alot of prepper equipment: tac golves, watch, tourniquet holder, tourniquets (3 for me, 3 for my wife), tac belt and some hats. The gloves were decent, the watch is very nice. It's a smartwatch and easily linked to my phone which is 4 yrs. old. The tourniquet holder is good quality, I took the strap off and the holder fit perfectly on my drop-leg holster. The CAT-tourniquets are good quality and are wide strapped. The caps are not great, I prefer to buy Condor caps because they have better quality from the shape to the velcro. I did get a boonie hat which was a good buy. All in all, TEMU is good. I unsubscribed because they would send tons of ads to my email. I may resubscribe but will use a junk email addy to dodge the ads.

      Truly appreciate all the info. This was my first time using them and yes many emails and texts to my burner phone lol. Some of the products were pretty good a few things could use some work. Most folks from what I've read through the comments is it's made in China, but in this day in age how many products aren't? Thank you for watching and taking the time to watch brother 🙏🤘

      @@GreyManPrepping Absolutely, I enjoy your content, although I usually don't comment. I looked into TEMU before I subscribed and yes, they are a Chi-comm company. I just wanted to try something else after I left Amazon when I found out that they had basically decommissioned some guys smart-home for allegedly making a "racist comment" lol.

      Nixon was responsible for opening up relations with China, but it was Bill Clinton who pushed Congress for bestowing "most favored trading nation" status. This is what enticed American manufacturers to export nearly all manufacturing to China in order to take advantage of their slave labor force.

    I've been using Temu for months. It's definitely hit and miss, but I'm not making major purchases.
    I've added to my clothing repair box with needles, thread, seam rippers, thimbles, different width elastic, no see hemming tape, retractable measuring tape, zipper pulls, bobokins, darning mushrooms and snippers.
    I've added to my garden stash with groometed shade cloth, netting, knee bench, sprinkler heads, house splitters, seed storage pouches, and foraging bags.
    I've added camping supplies like paracord, tensioners, tent pole hooks for hanging lanterns, cooking tripod, collapsible water buckets, and water jugs. I also picked up a long necklace with a magnifying glass for another fire starting option that comes in handy at restaurants.
    I've added loads of magnet hooks for all my metal shelves in the basement, many different sized canvas bags and pouches to keep things organized.
    I've purchased lots of medical wraps, iodine q-tips, self adhering athletic tape, and clear bandages that are used for covering tattoos but have worked wonders for scrapes to keep an eye on healing since I'm diabetic.
    I especially liked the usb rechargable pen lights I picked up. Went back and ordered more for family members.
    I've even purchased a couple of clothesline kits, collapsible wash bins, and a washboard.
    My funniest purchase was since paper, rock, scissors dice for when my husband and I can't agree. 😂

    I ordered once from them. Clothing fabric was cheap was and cheaply made and sizing was way off what they listed. One sweater was ok. Got a few things for scrapbooking that are ok but likely not acid free. For the price, I guess they’re all ok as long as you aren’t expecting them to last a long time. Quality of things may greatly vary depending on the particular product. I might order again but I won’t download their app though. The biggest downside is I’m constantly getting emails from them.

    • @GreyManPrepping
      @GreyManPrepping  Рік тому +2

      My wife has experienced similar things with clothing. That being said I agree some things are pretty good others not so much. It's up to the purchaser to review and research before picking something up. My biggest gripe to be totally honest is their shipping packaging, some items get a bit smashed due to the USPS. I get there trying to cut costs, but I figure there has to be a better solution. Thank you Rena for your honest experience with the company. Have a great evening. 😁💛🙏

    I'm at a point in the game where I have almost everything I had set out to get. Now, it's redundancy, backing up those back ups, adding extras as I find them on sale, etc. I've owned a steel for years and never attempted/needed to use it. Recently purchased a Survival Torch, neat little set up but cumbersome to pack around. Went out and sat on the steps and learned to use it. I'm 65 and can use one now. Back ups for your back ups, folks.

      Hello Amalia, it's a bit hard to describe in a comment, but I usually hold my wrist to my heart. Keeping the blood pressure monitor horizontal at the level of the heart to get the most accurate reading. When it's below the heart you can get an overestimation of your systolic and diastolic pressures and then when your arm is too high you get an underestimation. Hopefully, that'll give you the best information and description. Stay safe and thank you for watching 🙏💛

    I bought the cooling fan and used it most of the summer in my home office. The room is over the garage, so it gets hotter in summer and colder in winter than the rest of the house. Even with A/C and a ceiling fan, it's hot. The little fan was a great addition. To be honest, I was afraid to put water in it as the instructions weren't very clear, but I was okay without it since the A/C dealt with humidity. I guess I am a little worried about quality control, so I unplug it when not in use, but it's worked fine for months.

    Want to tell you as it has happened to me, Temu, you need to watch what you get, some things l got did not work, or they were damaged, items that you get passed on to when it fails to sale and the This is what my husband said was probably the problem when a company is over stocked😮. I got things that popped when I plugged into them. I even had one that the light stayed on and it was unplugged. I have to say watch when it comes to sizes and what it is made of. I wanted sweatshirt and it turned out it was not the material they is what sweatshirts are made of here. But read the reviews and look at the pictures. Not all will try you why it is bad I have gotten stuff that was damaged and the want to see the damage. But the either give you store credit, which is quick and if you want to get it back on card it takes longer. Just read everything you can in the comments section. Before you buy it, better if know what it was sua. Good luck 🎉😂

      I truly understand your point, I and my business partner run an EDC storefront. We try to carry a lot of U.S.-made products which proves to be difficult at times with certain items. That being said the most popular radio in the prepper verse is the Baofeng UV-5r which is "China" simply put. Once you look at everything in your home or places folks shop at be it Walmart, Amazon, Furnuiter stores, Harbor Freight, etc. Again mostly "China" when possible I buy local mainly my produce from farmers and so on. Folks living or trying to live off grid per say and they have Bluetti, EcoFlow, Jackery an so on again "China" The plastic used in most clothing, water bottles, or most plastic bottles again "China" even down to solar panels, lithium batteries all form them as well. Sorry to rant a bit it's just when you look at the whole picture it's hard to get around buying anything these days without them attached to it. I'm with you if I can buy local mom & pop I do. The whole thing with this video is folks say it's to expensive to prep, so I've been trying to find cheaper alternatives like this temu thing or dollar tree etc. I'm just showing folks options, it's up to them if they so decide to purchase anything at that point. Sorry for the book brother. I'm just trying to add context. Many folks on the tubes promote Chinese-made products like flashlights, knives, power stations and so many other emergency preparedness products. Again my apologies for the long comment.
