    You go girl. I live in Western North Carolina and this has been horrific. My husband became a prepper overnight. I've been a prepper since 1999. He laughed at me for stock in supplies. My stock piling saved my daughter and her children in Asheville. The hand crank radio has kept her in touch with outside. You keep preaching. People need to hear this. God bless you.

    There are people, right now, in Tennessee and North Carolina, who prepared and are able to help their family, friends and neighbors. What would the people who are now receiving help from those who are graciously sharing their preps had not prepared? Are the people who are criticizing you sending help to the folks who are in great need right now? I think not.
    Please don't apologize to those who can't see beyond their keyboard. You speak truth.

      This is why local and state governments for decades, have asked people to be prepared to survive for a few days, minimum to a preferable two weeks, if possible. Takes time to go out and do assessments in roads that probably are not that accessible, figure out the size of the areas, how many people, who needs what and who needs priorities. Am sure many of the North Carolina people were comfortably stocked, but their supplies got wiped out with the unexpected hurricane floodwaters. Had a friend whose married husband had a small group of people going out to the hills, on weekends, for years, preparing and stocking up as a bug out spot. Had moved out of state and was included on that list anyways. Said my gratefulness but should anything happen, I would fight to be with my daughter and grandkids. Ended up a massive wildfire went through that area and burned everything they worked for. Unless they would have buried maybe six feet under, there was no way with that fire to save their supplies.

    There are many kinds of emergencies, including personal ones. When my husband lost his job and my kids were little babies, a well-stocked pantry fed us until he found another job. Years later, when he was seriously injured in a car accident and off work for 7 months without pay, that pantry helped us get through. When Hurricane Harvey hit, we had to evacuate to higher ground to a friend’s house. We were able to bring food, water, our generator, and cans of gas with us to help out her household. Please prepare: life is full of uncertainty.

    I don’t know why so many people think the government has an obligation to save or provide for people in disasters. The Supreme Court has ruled several times law enforcement does not have a specific obligation to protect you. I am sure this decision applies to emergency services as well.
    I agree with the moderator you need to prepare for the worst and keep yourself & your family safe. You cannot depend on the government to bail you out We are approaching a time when this nation will face some catastrophic. A lot of people are going to die because they were not prepared properly.

      Well said. I learned as an accident investigator that four patches of tire about the size of your palm are the only thing holding your car on the road. Just a sheen of water can break that hold. It amazes me when people drive into water and then scream to be rescued as they are being swept away. Yes, I know, I would be the first to help them but could they not drive into the water in the first place? Your car's weight will not matter. Watch the video's of the semi's being swept off the road during Helene.

Clearing roads, repairing infrastructure and providing medical help and yes food.. but ofcourse we as individual households should prepare too.. it isn't all or nothing. Both government and individuals have a role to play in widespread emergencies.

    You are 100% right! I've been fortunate that I've never experienced a disaster/emergency. BUT, because I am prepared and have my stockpile, it meant that I was able to help others nearby that were hit by emergency situations. I live in a small apartment, and I use every possible space for storage (it's amazing how creative you can be when you make it your goal). Also, I buy extra when things are on sale, and have slowly built up a stockpile. It didn't happen overnight, and I didn't wait for the emergency to arrive to start preparing. Everything you teach about in your videos is 100% correct. We don't do this out of fear (I have to eat and drink and use toiletries every day ANYWAYS, so buying a little extra each time isn't doing anything crazy.) We do this so we can take care of ourselves, our family, and our neighbours if need be. We are instructed by God to prepare wisely Proverbs 31.

    I have been thinking the same thing. Even our government has told us to prepare for at least 2 weeks since September 11. We lived through a pandemic, I thought people would listen then. Keep preaching. Yes, some houses would be damaged by floods, but their neighbors would be able to share if everyone was prepared. I know that the mountains of NC have weather related issues, I lived for 20 years near there. There are snow storms in the mountains too and people are unable to drive down the mountain. There have been terrible floods in the past, yes many years ago, but we need to learn about the history of the places we live so we know how to prepare. I feel awful for the folks, praying for all. Besides food and water, this disaster showed us the importance of keeping some cash at home, since all the ATMs were down and everyone was only taking cash. There is a reason I try to live within a mile of an ER and a grocery store!

Some of my loved ones are woefully under - prepared, yet if we all do it our chances of survival are greater, you don't need to be a genius to know that, if your all up in your feels imagine how great you would feel being able to actually help someone rather than just send thoughts and prayers alone. 💜

      That is why it is important to balance saving supplies and money so that if all your stockpiled physical items are suddenly gone, you have some money put aside to help you get back on your feet. As this hurricane showed, disaster can strike hard and fast in the most unexpected places. No single method of preparation is foolproof.

    I follow the work of a hard working homestead gal that is getting this same treatment as you Tawra. Don't you dare apologize to these trolls. They missed the point of her videos too. The point she made was that if you have extra stored you could share with others in various crises. Much like things you have said. And.... she was one of the first to head out and get supplies to the storm devastated areas as you would too.

    In my opinion as you have the lived experience you understand the consequences of not being prepared. It is therefore coming from a caring perspective and not wanting to see people suffer.

    People's homes floated away, fell apart. They said that the waters rose rapidly during the night so they couldn't escape in time. There is no way to prepare for the worst of what happened to these poor people. For sure, some who were affected by less devastating effects would benefit from having extra supplies of the things they know that they will need but there is no "one size fits all" in this situation. Do what you know is necessary for your own well being people.

I thought that was precious! I obviously love your channel and all your wonderful advice. I’m 79 years old and I’m still learning things from you. Thank You! ❤️

    I live on SS. We knew that time was coming, and we made the move to an area where we could afford to live on just SS. And yes, I have stocked up. I don't think I am good for a year, but I am good for a bit. Trying to convince my husband that he needs to have more cash available.

      If you can for Christmas or birthday or even an Anniversary. Try to get a lock box. Maybe he will get the hint. If nothing else put a little note in there that says for car tire or repairs. For toothaches. You can probably come up with a few more ideas. It would not have to be a major expensive one at first but he would get the hint. Like for myself I live on SSDI so I know how hard it can be. But I have trouble thinking and paying big bills. So if I know I have one coming up. Like a vet bill it’s over a 100.00 dollars so instead of thinking at the time my cat needs her shots how am I going to pay for it. I take and put back 10.00 dollars a month. For I can wiggle around figure out how to save that much. For a month cut bad here and there. And have that ten dollars start a little piggyback to put your change in. If you work with cash most of the time. If he catches on he might like it and decide to sit down with you and see where you can cut back. I try to keep a credit on my electric bill. Even if it’s just a little bit for example if it’s 56.00 dollars I will pay 60.00 dollars

    It's extremely important to be prepared ..I've seen so many people who have no electricity because of Helene not even have a grill..so many people freaking out because they have no way to prepare food..don't know even how to build a fire on a pit...it is extremely important to be prepared...it's more important now than any other time in our lives. Being prepared is about more than just stockpiling....we also need to learn basic survival skills. Please don't apologize sister. These are lessons we all need to learn.

    We were hit by a tornado this Spring and were without power for over a week. Thankfully, we had a generator. It kept the fridge and freezer going, and we could cook with an electric skillet and make coffee. We were so happy to be able to stay in our home. I tell everyone to have a small generator to do at least this much. We live in town, but that is no guarantee that emergencies won't occur.

    they are taking up donations at my job. I'm so glad I have a stockpile so I could donate paper products, food, and toiletries to the hurricane victims that I got on sale. I stopped by publix and got snack packs of cookies, pop tarts,juice boxes half off for kids that are displaced. i got coffee for adults. I live in nc...during hurricane Matthew I was out boiling water on the grill, I think that was the best cup of coffee I ever had because I was so thankful to have it. you're not fear mongering.

    Why should you have to a apologize? Seriously, if people don't want to prepare, then they are going to be in shock when a situation happens to them.
    I wonder if they will rethink about being prepped when prices rise and shortages happen over this longshoremens strike! It's just not natural disasters!

    Tara For hurricane Ida here in south Louisiana My kids and grand kids stayed with me This is called their safe house. It’s an old house so well constructed on high land My home had much damage but was not destroyed like so many others in my parish and community. My daughter always made fun of me for prepping but we were without power or water for almost a month and they were so happy that we had food and water and that I was prepared My grand daughter and her family lost their home and everything they owned. My daughter and her hubby had so much home damage They lived with me for a long time after Our insurance companies went bankrupt They were so overwhelmed. Feema was also overwhelmed We only got 1200. Per house hold So many after three years are still homeless My heart goes to everyone who goes through these horrors But being prepared is always a good thing. Your advice is the absolute truth
