    My tool shed broken into twice , third time someone was met with compressed air and 5 pounds of chalk line dust. Now looking for a flagged member of the blue man group. Someone tried stealing battery out of my JD tractor, they never succeeded but they did loose a considerable amount of blood from the finger tips I’d say. If the hit my fuel shed again they my loose a hand. I’m done with these pricks.
    The biggest part of prepping is protecting yourself and family. Consider everything folks….stay safe and prepared.

    Go to estate sales...Saturday is 50% off someone’s life at estate sales. Lots of unopened medical supplies & hygiene items...plus sewing supplies & office supplies are usually still plentiful on Saturday’s. A few weeks ago I got lucky because these people were obviously influenced by the Great Depression & had a stockpiled everything. I got a dehydrator for $5...have been running it 24/7 ever since. Score!

    Shoe lace replacements, light bulbs, batteries (including button batteries)
    Fluids for cars - brake fluid, power steering fluid, coolant, oil, filters, automatic tire pump you plug in your car cig lighter, rechargeable battery for jumping your car battery, extra wipers,
    Reusable Air filters.
    If you scan the local pharmacy, you’ll see things you may need - drops for pink eye, UTI meds, tooth repair kit, slings, ace bandages, knee and ankle sleeves, Visine, saline.

    One of the absolute BEST prep is to learn how to fast. Learn to be able to go for 5 days without food without it affecting your mental stability. Start out by fasting for 1 day a week. Pick a day, say Wednesday, and eat your last meal on Tuesday, and then don't consume anything except water until your normal first meal on Thursday. Once you can do that without any effort, extend it to 2 days once or twice a month. Then 3 days once a month. Then do a 5-full-day fast every 3 or 4 months. It's not only EXTREMELY beneficial to your health, but it will make it much easier to deal without food if SHTF.

      This is so true. I do 2-day fasts regularly. Drink enough water, and go to bed early the first day to get that day ended with no temptation to eat out of habit. It was a pleasant surprise that actual hunger is not an issue for me.

      Muscle is also important. Fasting for genetic refinement, muscle for being a force to be reckoned with in CQB/urban fighting. The guy that can carry more crap and move with more torque has a major advantage over someone who can't.

    We have a little wagon to drag my old crippled dog in. He loves to get out and smell the smells, and he has GREAT senses still, but he can't keep up on walks anymore. That needs chunkier wheels. Another good idea is to find or make a wagon that can be attached to your bicycle! If you need to grocery shop, and have "retired" your car until you can afford gas, a bicycle and a good wagon can make a huge difference!

    In addition, thanks also to your commenters. I read thru all them every time, and even return to previous episodes... just to get ideas from folks' comments I missed the first time 'round. My contribution to this dialog : As long as you mention 2x4s and plyboard... I also keep a good supply of heavy-mil clear plastic sheeting. That sheeting, plus a few 2x4s and nails = a small makeshift greenhouse. It's a good thing to be able to grow veggies year-round. Along the same lines, start a compost pile in the corner of your yard, for adding to raised beds, as an earthworm habitat, and a fertilizer substitute. A simple compost is do-able with ordinary brown and green yard clippings.

I wonder how long it'll take me to find a 4th wheel. So far I've been lucky, the three I have are from ones people just abandoned outside near the dumpster. I have basic sewing stuff, but nothing for heavy cloth, leather, etc. I'm also hoping to get some seeds and canning supplies, eventually mead brewing supplies. Some firewood, some more medical supplies, some carpentry and other craft stuff, and food and I might have an almost decent shot. More 5 gallon buckets wouldn't hurt either, the uses for those are many. I wish medicaid/medicare let me fill my prescriptions more often, but they're pretty strict about that, so if things go really bad I might only have so many months I could live. If I had more money I'd outright buy my parents some rain barrels, some fruit trees, and some other stuff.

      Could look at alternatives like mini propane burners or camping stoves

    • @kibblenbits
      @kibblenbits 2 роки тому +3

      Yes, as you always need a backup because:
      1. If you cook with natural gas, and the gas main is shut off, or damaged, you will lose the ability to cook.
      2. If you cook with propane, (I'm talking about the large 500-gallon tanks, usually seen on rural properties) you can run out and not be able to resupply/get delivery.
      Other possible options are:
      1. A camping stove (You can get an adapter hose and 20 pd propane tanks, its much cheaper than the 1 pd cans, but you can use the 1-pound cans with no adapter and can store them for years)
      2. A propane or charcoal grill (You'd need to stock up on fuel for them and never use them indoors)
      3. A butane camp stove (uses butane cannisters, which can be hard to find and not very good if it's cold)
      4. A fire pit (you'd need a metal cooking grate with legs and can use wood or charcoal) and would need cast iron pots/pans.
      5. A rocket stove (you can build one with small paving or cinder blocks and UA-cam has plenty of videos on different builds and how to use) so you would only need twigs to burn and cook. (You have to feed the twigs into it and only use outside)
      6. An electric hot plate (if you have a way to power it, i.e., electric, solar generator or dual fuel gas/propane generator)
      You can watch videos showing how to make and/or use all of the above on YT to see which one would be the best backup for your living situation.
