    I'm so happy that I can return back to modern day after the video. These senerio videos are great for preparing your mind set. I feel as if its happening right now when watching. I better enjoy having the ability to step into and step out, because their will come a time when I can't just end the video and step out.

    The scenario videos deal with getting your mind set involved in your prepping. Its easy to stock up on food and equipment but the purpose of these videos is a mind exercise. What would I do or my prepping group do in this situation. Do we have the skill set and supplies to face the scenario that Iam showing.

    @urbansurvivor101 Yes I will. 5 gallon buckets are what I recommed because you can place them in your area especially if you have no real bug out retreat but just going to bug out to the woods. This will let you travel light but have a resupply.

All of your videos are great but I was just talking about some preppers who upload super long videos with minimal content.

    Better to have it and not need it than the reverse. Some of these guys don't realize this is a practice of a number of species who hibernate in the winter -- distributed caches in case things go wrong.

    Great vid!! We live in N. E. Pa. and we lost not only our home and my hubby's but also our camper that was our back up plan. We lost everything! this would have saved us then. our neighbors had no electric for 4 days and we stayed there for 2 days and then got a motel room till we could buy a new camper. No one was prepared. I know I learned my lesson and they did not. We were the exception and they need not worry. we will be working on this in a few days. thanks for the insight.

Where was great grandpa? Behind the mules in the field.. all day. Where are such people gone today. Life span? over 90. Family.. 9 sons. Today: family is memory, we seldom live near each other, and we are debt slaves...

    I also have fuel fuel caches and pure ammo caches. I place my drums on the ground, 100 meters from the trail, under a tree, place branches over it, then camo net and more branches. All drums are painted olive drab. All drums are lined with a plastic liner. I rinse the drums with gas to remove the oil and then wash with hot water and soap. Then I use citric acid to kill the remaining odor. Since the ground is frozen 7 months a year, I never bury a cache. My friends and I do a few caches a month

  • @bizzarrogeorge

    I haven't done any of this yet, I'm still just a few weeks of food and water kind of guy, bud I enjoy watching these videos for ideas for when I actually have a little extra money to put towards more preps.
    In regards to the bucket stash, how you said just smash top because too much work digging up, maybe a crudely made wooden box made out of scrap wood that would contain the bucket? You could have a removable wood lid over box, no hinges, and be able to take entire bucket out, and later rebury if needed. Just an idea. Thanks for the video, you were so believable in what you were saying that I actually thought that this was real. I was scratching my head trying to figure out what part of our country got hit with a natural disaster.....so you done good.

    • @CalamitousJonathan
      @CalamitousJonathan 9 років тому +3

      You want some advice on becoming a prepper?
      Learn things.... Learn to grow food.
      Learn to use anything and everything to make something from nothing.
      Do not spend money to buy food, to store away, for the future that won't have grocery stores... What good is a year supply of food, if once that year of food is gone, you have no food left and no ability to get more?
      You want to learn to survive, go spend a month in the woods with just a knife and a water bottle. If you survive, you will survive when shit hits the fan. Should you not be standing on the fan, when the shit hit it.

    @evankoeve Iam glad you brought that up. They have slightly larger ones that you could make a simple shelter out of. Warm in the winter and cool in the summer. A piece of screening in the summer keep the bugs out and a good sleeping bag in the winter and a good shelter. Find the right spot and do a good job on camoflauge and it has possiblities.

    lol, i hear that. we have no television in the house, too much to do in garden etc... there is one in the garage and one up at the hunting camp. Both never turned on since we moved here. I'll bet they never do get turned on. I love your suggestion and I have sent your video to family members far away. They know to head my way if shtf, if they can make it. Its a hairy scary thing to wonder which preps might save a persons life and which lives are most important to save at times, even down to mine or anothers. I'll bet what drives some doesn't even compute to others ways of thinking. I think well rounded and planning for problems is appearing to be the one that would feel the most secure in who know's what in the world may happen out there/here... so much to do.... love your video

  • @texasarcane7894
    @texasarcane7894 9 років тому

    It's brilliant and permits you to restock and gives you a resupply point if you experience something unexpected that drives you out of your main shelter. I highly recommend these. If you think your shelter is going to get overrun you retreat through your alternate exit, resupply and now nobody knows better than you do how to make your own shelter so miserable you can drive the intruders out. One good counter strategy if you are undermanned is to smoke them out.

  • @ZombieTactics
    @ZombieTactics 13 років тому

    @cottonjeff the French word "cachet" is pronounced like "cash-ay" ... it is used to described something of particular quality, as in "it has a certain cachet". The word "cache" is pronounced like "cash", and it means a hidden store of something, or the place where you store it, or a temporary holding place for things. The two words are often confused because of the "e" in cache and the silent "t" in cachet.

    Myself, I have a few things around that could maintain my family for about a month. I was starting to prep and it's as far as I got. I found that there really is no way you can prep for more than a year, just my opinion. You can have all the weapons and ammo you want, it might keep the stranger away from your stuff, but if it's police/military/government coming for you, you pretty much are dead. But you go down fighting. Prepping for hurricanes and earthquakes, issues where it will be possible to get an infrastructure back up and running is a great idea. Maybe a years worth of stored items will keep you covered until you get your own food growing, but again if we have government take over and we lose our properties, its not much good. It's costly and most of us can't prepare for 5 years or 10 years. And healthwise, you shouldn't live off of that freeze dried stuff for too long. But if you are prepped for SHTF, you're ok for a while. Not scoffing at preppers, they have great ideas, but good luck fighting off the government. But, without our freedom, liberty, and what not, we might as well die for it if it comes to that.

So this is my choice there are better boots out there but these are what I have and they didnt cost me anything.
