Oh love it - baby prepper! I've always held back in putting together a 3-day food prep bec I don't have the shelves or space nor have I wanted to put it in our garage. This is a fantastic idea! Thank you!!!
I'm always impressed with the amount of thought and preparation that goes into your videos and, well, preparations. I've watched several of your videos and you frequently have well made diagrams, flow charts, etc. You are also ridiculously well organized. The OCD part of me is almost jealous how well you have everything organized.
First I want to say thanks for sharing. As a new prepper I find it offensive that others who are suppose to be like minded are trying to profit from our beliefs. I'm also dedicated to sharing things that I learn about prepping free.
Holy Canoli! I've never seen anyone as thorough as you. I'm not a detail oriented person, so I greatly appreciate the effort you have gone through preparing the PDFs for us to download. Keep up the great work, we are watching, we are learning!
Appreciate Video clip! Apologies for butting in, I would appreciate your initial thoughts. Have you heard the talk about - Franaar Spies Control Formula (Sure I saw it on Google)? It is a good one off guide for learning how to make the ultimate survival food without the headache. Ive heard some amazing things about it and my friend at very last got astronomical results with it.
This is just superb, been searching for "good cheap survival foods" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of - Proutklarton Surviving Technics Plan - (just google it ) ? Ive heard some amazing things about it and my mate got great success with it.
Since there have been many catastrophes, wars & invasions (literally) and economic collapses (etc.) here since 1990, we, Eastern-Central-Europeans have lots of experiences, and i liked this video. A few additional information (based on real SHTF situations of South-East Europe): #1: Gathering tons of stuff for eternal life+2days is a useless missconception. In fact, during SHTF situations the main problematic period is usually no more than 3-4 days long. This is why 72-hour packages are widespread in European countries, and in some countries (Switzerland, Sweden, Czech Republic) in principle, it must be kept at home; but it is also recommended in other countries (eg. Hungary, Slowakia, Poland, and so on). Fuel: According to the balkan experience: a good MTB is the best prepper vehicle. 0 gallons / mile, easy to hide and you can carry it through the ruins & rivers. #2: Bug in / bug out? None of them. Longer-term disasters (and i seen a couple of really big shits) need to be addressed at community level, so community building is more important, than obtain a BOB. I understand this rambo/western-based mania about lonely survival on the prairie/forest Or in a fortified mini-alamo. BUT after a REAL SHTF, actually The Survival means hoeing, carpentry, whitewashing and removal of ruins, not bushcraft in a deserted forest. So instead of BOB, you should get Get Home Bag, lots of disinfectants in the garage, and a small cultivated vegetable garden at the back instead of grassy yard with pool. #3: Gadgets? Sorry, you NOT need any other expensive "titanium-framed NASA flashlight" nor "Uncle Sam's super-lethal double barrelled killing-gun" but a hoe, a scythe, a lot of nails and a hammer. Boring, I know. AND: I've never seen a shortage of clothes, but Toilet Paper scarcity is common problem during SHTF! Minimum half month reserve! #4: Fat ones will get ready sooner: their bodies also need more water. And every SHTF i've seen the water shortage was much bigger problem than the food. I know one croatian guy who has lived for 1 year on oak acorns and rice and on anything he has just found in the town he lived without starving. So don't overdo food topic. Never forget: water scarcity will be your main concern (and the heat needed for cooking). #5: I have no idea what 'murican preppers think where and when they live... Even in the center of a greatest shit happended around me (except for the Yugoslav civil war), international help came in max 3-5 days. This is the 21st century, every bigger country (and many of smaller ones) have disaster response teams, mobile hospitals, and all of them can be packed on aircrafts or ships. In practice, not only local but also German, Czech, Hungarian, Swedish, Russian, Japanese and even Ukrainian rescue teams worked in Italy during an earthquake... #6: Epidemic has never erupted in such places due to corpses, but there were a lots of problems caused by materials leaked from the sewage system. Disinfectants for every prepper! #7: I have not seen any SHTF situation in Europe (including wars and economic collapses) when government and law have completely disappeared. Even where the state ceased to operate, local governments were still in operation. Villages, towns run by local police and civilians, while in cities the MP was present. Public security was less bad here than in the US during a blackout (under real SHTF, the character of a violent robber-campaign comes out less, 'cause even criminals are afraid of their safety... i sure there are some psychology behind it). #8: I saw knife attacks. You have no chance to take your gun, handle safeties and aim the pistol against a knife attack even from a distance of 10-15meters (11-16yards) if your opponent is a bit experienced. AND even if you as fast as Wild Bill Hickok 1-3 hits can't guarantee that the knife won't kill you, the Stop-effect is too mystified. AK-47? M1911? Tokarev? Does not matter, you are just avenging yourself even at best. (power of inertia: by the time you shoot at man he already have too much momentum) Lots of stabbed deads lay in the Balkans with unfired guns in their cool hands. A working self-defense method fight must be learned (krav maga, hapkido, and so on). +1: In a big SHTF (like Yugoslav civil war) firearms were not good, you could kill a man, but the noise of the shot tells everyone: here's the fresh meat. Bows and crowbars! "Hiding and silence" is the lifesaving discipline, not the rambo-way...
I like the idea of the soft side cooler for a go bag for food. That's a good idea and this prep is very doable for the budget minded prepper. Thanks for the idea
I think you're videos are fantastic. Reasonable and well thought out. I am interested in preparedness but find most (of not all) of the other videos I have viewed to be way too far out in their mindset. Now I recognize that works for them (and their subscribers) but I thank you for creating these videos for "the rest of us" :)
Bread for the PBJ sandwich: Grabbing the bread from shelf or freezer is OK for the short term. After a day or so it will get unrecognizably squished. Proved this to myself on too many backpacking trips when I thought "if I just pack it right..." For a long time I used pita pockets or english muffins instead. Both of these are tasty and pack well. Tortillas work also but I don't enjoy them as much. Now they have those flat bagels and they are perfect.
Thank you so much for your videos! I absolutely love your way to think things thru and break prepping down into steps. Prepping for only two weeks and one person on a low budget can get you demotivated really fast if you spend a lot of money but can't see any progress, especially if you have to start on nothing. With your approach there are fast results and at the same time some kind of a starting point for the next step(s). For example having a 72-hours supply on food and water is relatively cheap (as it will be rotated) and already way more then most people have. Adding just a little bit to it will expand it for some ours. And while just adding tiny bits to expand the 72-hours-period "hour by hour" you can save to buy e.g. a small oven to have a heating source or what ever you might consider as the next step. btw: My father isn't a prepper and just doesn't understand why anybody would prep. I tried to convince him that some little things are usefull to have around and showed him some youtube vids. He never told me, but I could read in his face that he thinks preppers are a bit crazy. So I showed him your vids. As an engineer himself he listened carefully and had a different expression on his face. I believe he starts to think a little bit different now. This might be a tiny step, but a week after he saw some of your vids he presented me his maglite with new bulbs, batteries and a set of spare batteries. :D
I don't consider myself a teacher of this subject. I'm just a normal guy who is into this hobby/lifestyle. I like to collaborate here on UA-cam with others who are interested in the same thing I am. I try to put a fair amount of time and effort into my UA-cam videos due to my semi obsessive nature. I'm glad you enjoyed this video.
Watching this in October 2020 after the pandemic is in full swing, the political unrest, riots, and posturing. What a year it has been. Having a small pantry was such a blessing since we were on a work trip in California when this broke out and arrived home with it the ability to shop before staying at home. Now to maintain these preps throughout the year.
As always, you are thorough and thoughtful in your selections. I appreciate that you share your thoughts and ideas in the form of videos and PDF's. Thanks and keep on going.
great idea for the tripple pyramid. Level 3 is all i have been working on. i am counting level 2 as our weekly shop as we usually have a just over a weeks worth of food in the kitchen. I am gonna start working on a level 1 and get some cooler bags. I can't believe i hadn't thought of adding cooler bags to my prep
You won't be disappointed. I prefer the Crunchy over the Creamy. You will need to stir it for around 5 minutes, but the fantastic taste and texture is totally worth the extra effort.
I too am refining Level 3. It takes some time. However, I am also re-organizing Level 2 by leveraging various pantry storage methods and pest prevention. Best of luck to you with your emergency preps!
You won't be disappointed with the Adams Peanut Butter. You will need to stir it for around 5 minutes, but the taste and texture is fantastic. I prefer the crunchy. I'm glad you enjoy my videos!
The extravagant planning takes a lot of time, but doing the basic things just takes a lifestyle tweak. Most people probably already prep and don't even think about it: adding money into a savings account, filling up the car gas tank before it goes below a 1/2 tank, stocking up a pantry, buying next years winter clothes when they are on sale in the spring. Once you make that little lifestyle adjustment, it becomes second nature. I hope you decide to come to the "Dark Side". :) Best of luck.
Another great video. I don't understand why you don't have a 200,000 plus hits. Along with the videos you always provide detailed information that can be printed and stored. Keep up the great work and Thank you!!
i love this idea. its like the duffel bag my family takes when we go on a weekend trip,we call it black-bagging it and it contains more heatable canned food like ravioli, easy mac,pasta,ramens etc. its for hotel stays when we dont want to go out for dinner. i have a hot pot and my own coffee maker as well. good job.
I've done something similar with my homemade MRE's. However, I just put them in large Ziplock bags. I like the soft sided cooler as a storage and transport means. I would have never thought of using those and I've got dozens of them around the house. Time to make some changes. Thanks for the videos.
Man I love your organisation. Another great video. I've got a couple baby preppers my self and and one of them is also a self imposed vegetarian and very picky about food, so I think I'll be doing the same for her. Thanks for another great video.
this area of prepping I am having the most difficulty. My wife is gluten/wheat/yeast allergen i my self could sustain on MRE's and Mountain meals. To make things more difficult (for me) we are now going towards organic and natural foods that do not have a long shelf life. I have rice and beans stored but still struggling to prep for beyond level 1 food storage.
I think you should have a separate kit for your car that has items with a longer shelf life and can handle various temperature changes. This is something I keep in the pantry, ready to go.
If a short term issue comes up, the experts all agree it a lot about comfort food for the short term to help eliminate some of the stress from the event. I think you created a great bag. Gave us a starting point.
I guess I've gone about my bug out bag in a little different way. we've done the 72hr. food supply in the backpack along with cooking, minor shelter and water purification as well as some bag water in the mre type things.
Another excellent video. I really like the idea of putting the 72hrs. of food in a portable cooler. I would recommend a backup cooler with wheels in case you need to relocate. If you happen to have your 46lb EDC BOB + carrying your coolers the load will add up.
Awesome. I’ve been meaning to make something like this for a while. I didn’t want to spend the money on MRE’s but I still wanted things that were ready to eat. Thanks for the ideas!
Just watched your level 1 food module. Interesting. I have a similar system. I live in the south where the heat is brutal in the summer. So I have foods in a cooler that I take with me when I leave the homestead. I keep those blue frozen ice in freezer to put in cooler. If an emergency happens while I am away from home I will put food in my GHB and head for home. I subscribed to your channel because I liked your approach. I came up with my plan because MRE food in an emergency just makes me depressed lol
Very well planned out. I am a chart person as well. Will definately diwnliad if possible. And thanks for helping ne rethink my 72 bag. Cheers from Canada.
Greetings Urban Prepper:Here In Cincinnati they sell portion sized Delmonte brand vegetables (7-3/4 oz) to pack in a 72 hr food kit, also Dinty Moore & Campbells has Styrofoam coated mini bowls of soup, beef stew,Chef Boy r Dee pasta, easier to pack/store than full sized cans you featured in this video. FYI.
The extra "morale" items (candy bars, snacks, etc) definitely put you over the necessary calories for 72 hours, but just doing the minimum has never been my thing. I like the security of feeling that you have a little more than needed, just in case. "Just in case" seems to be a common prepping motto.
Many thanks to you!! I am very new to this and I loved your videos and your method. You are so Smart and organized I will implement this soon! Thanks!!!!!
excellent, I have a family of 5. I carry in the car about 2-3 days worth of food and water for all of us. I keep mostly canned food and its all stored in a large plastic container. great video
michael leon Thanks Michael. You have a big family! I think it is good to have a backup supply of food that is common for your family meal plan. After testing our multiple survival bars for 72 hours, I definitely want to avoid having my family go through an initial dietary shock after being accustomed to eating "normal" food.
Another great video. I love how organised you are and how much work you put into the videos and the presentation material. And you put it on here in PDF format too.... good on you.
To Becky Stein. Both my kids were conceived, gestated, born and raised as vegetarians. They have remained vegetarians by their own choice into adult life (3 & 28) notwithstanding that my daughter is married to a butcher. All the crap about not getting B12 or whatever else is just a smoke screen. They are healthy and would seem to be happy with the choice their month and I made for them as they have remained with that choice of their own volition.
I tend to be more organic (chaotic and haphazard) in my approach. I didn't/don't want my prepping, such as it is, to take any additional time and only insignificant resource, out of my daily life. I do real world testing, on my EDC/B and, my procurement is ad hoc, and opportunistic. It's more of a hobby. I think I will put more deliberation into it going forward. If I put 20% more thought into it I'll get 80% more outcome, in theory. Thank you for the organization-check.
Thanks for the recommendation. My family and I do not use cannabis. However, if you do and it is legal in your state/region, I think that would be a good addition to a BOB.
Kudos to you for your organized strategy! I'm thinking that having the plan is 80% of the job. Then it's easy to plug and chug. This is the first video of yours that I've seen, so I'm wondering what you prefer for the long-term storage. I prefer dried to canned, because I think it has more nutrition left in it. Again, great job.
I just found your channel and this is first video I've seen from you. Really good video! I can just tell how intelligent you are! and baby prepper is so cute! ^_^
I noticed you had canned goods, do you have something to store the excess in once you open the can's, Just curious. I dehydrate my things so that all I have to do is add water, also takes up less space. I was curious about babyprepper's bag, since he can't eat a whole can of veges in one sitting. I also keep ziploc bags and the containers that have the twist on lids, I store things inside the containers when not in use. And when I need them they are there.
Thanks for the video content! Apologies for the intrusion, I would appreciate your thoughts. Have you ever tried - Proutklarton Crisis Away Plan (just google it)? It is a good exclusive guide for surviving and preparing for a disaster minus the hard work. Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my best friend Jordan after many years got excellent results with it.
Hello TUP, do You still have the PDF Document from Your Prepping System? The Link in the Description do not work anymore. I Love your Channel keep it going! Best regards from Germany😊
omg. thats so cool.Like the baby pack.my 9 yr old is picky also. Thats a great idea to even have a little something in the suv,just in case.thanks for that. .las vegas
I haven't read all the comments, so I'm sorry if you've had to answer this multiple times. Some of these items require more than just opening up the package and chowing down. Is there a third bag that is part of this system that includes sufficient water, utensils, cookware, toilet & hygiene needs, etc?
+Tenderfoot Prepper _includes sufficient water, utensils, cookware, toilet & hygiene needs, etc?_ And a camp stove. Cookware's pretty useless without energy to cook with... :) But if you're going camping, then there's probably a fire pit.
penut butter is great for bags. if u have creamy peanut butter it will last for about one year after its expiration date if unopened. i think that is only for the more processed brands like skippy not the super healthy versions. i always keep at least one unopened jar (I think 15 oz it may be a little more i will tell u the next time i head to the store.) my neighbor asked if they could have some peanut butter so i wait they could have that one lol
The dates on jars and cans...they are not...not...expire dates. No where on can does it say expire. It says 'best used by'. An unopened jar of peanut butter with a date of 07-07-16, will still be edible on 07-07-21 and beyond. Those dates are for stock rotation and reference. That's a fact. White rice when stored properly has a date of Infinite...as does Salt sugar and a few others. Thought you might like to know.
I think about this video every time i go to the supermarket and buy a few extra items for my emergency stash - great work. Your son is adorable.
Oh love it - baby prepper! I've always held back in putting together a 3-day food prep bec I don't have the shelves or space nor have I wanted to put it in our garage. This is a fantastic idea! Thank you!!!
I'm glad you enjoyed it! You can put these anywhere. I restock them often. We used them in our recent camping trip.
Good job; very organized!
mothers are always prepped for there babies,LOL
Simply Cherie ,it really doesn't take much space.
I'm always impressed with the amount of thought and preparation that goes into your videos and, well, preparations.

#3 is really ringing true in the US right now. No TP anywhere!
excellent execution. I've been thinking about this stuff for years but lack the organization that you bring to the table. great job.
Thank you-great job! Baby prepper just keeps geting bigger! It has always been nice to see a guy who cares about his kid like guys should!
By far the best prepper videos on youtube. Common sense and friendly for eveyrbody.
This is the first time for me watching your stuff.I am blown away! It will take me some time to digest.Thank you
I love it. I subscribed because of the baby prepper bag. All the awwwwwwwws. Thank you. Your video was very informative.
I like the idea of the soft side cooler for a go bag for food. That's a good idea and this prep is very doable for the budget minded prepper. Thanks for the idea
CLIF bars are a good choice for a healthier bar. They don't have the best shelf life, but as long as they are regularly used they work out nicely.

you have the best prepper videos because they relate to more people
I love this. this is exactly what I'm doing. adorable that baby prepper loves his yellow foods!
it never dawned on me to prep around my pay schedual like that on level 2, brilliant video thanks
I'm glad that helped. Prepping around pay cycles should also help with the upcoming Money module/levels.
i love this idea. its like the duffel bag my family takes when we go on a weekend trip,we call it black-bagging it and it contains more heatable canned food like ravioli, easy mac,pasta,ramens etc. its for hotel stays when we dont want to go out for dinner. i have a hot pot and my own coffee maker as well. good job.
I love your videos. You are clearly highly intelligent.
I am just starting to get interested in Urban survival!
I've done something similar with my homemade MRE's. However, I just put them in large Ziplock bags. I like the soft sided cooler as a storage and transport means. I would have never thought of using those and I've got dozens of them around the house. Time to make some changes. Thanks for the videos.
Man I love your organisation. Another great video. I've got a couple baby preppers my self and and one of them is also a self imposed vegetarian and very picky about food, so I think I'll be doing the same for her. Thanks for another great video.
this area of prepping I am having the most difficulty. My wife is gluten/wheat/yeast allergen
i my self could sustain on MRE's and Mountain meals. To make things more difficult (for me) we are now going towards organic and natural foods that do not have a long shelf life. I have rice and beans stored but still struggling to prep for beyond level 1 food storage.
I really like your common sense approach to things, keeps it much less "Scary" for the uninitiated. As always great job
I think you should have a separate kit for your car that has items with a longer shelf life and can handle various temperature changes. This is something I keep in the pantry, ready to go.
If a short term issue comes up, the experts all agree it a lot about comfort food for the short term to help eliminate some of the stress from the event. I think you created a great bag. Gave us a starting point.
I guess I've gone about my bug out bag in a little different way. we've done the 72hr. food supply in the backpack along with cooking, minor shelter and water purification as well as some bag water in the mre type things.
Another excellent video. I really like the idea of putting the 72hrs. of food in a portable cooler. I would recommend a backup cooler with wheels in case you need to relocate. If you happen to have your 46lb EDC BOB + carrying your coolers the load will add up.
Awesome. I’ve been meaning to make something like this for a while. I didn’t want to spend the money on MRE’s but I still wanted things that were ready to eat. Thanks for the ideas!
Just watched your level 1 food module. Interesting. I have a similar system. I live in the south where the heat is brutal in the summer. So I have foods in a cooler that I take with me when I leave the homestead. I keep those blue frozen ice in freezer to put in cooler. If an emergency happens while I am away from home I will put food in my GHB and head for home. I subscribed to your channel because I liked your approach. I came up with my plan because MRE food in an emergency just makes me depressed lol
Very well planned out. I am a chart person as well. Will definately diwnliad if possible. And thanks for helping ne rethink my 72 bag. Cheers from Canada.
Those are definitely planned in the upcoming Level 1 "Cooking" module.
Greetings Urban Prepper:Here In Cincinnati they sell portion sized Delmonte brand vegetables (7-3/4 oz) to pack in a 72 hr food kit, also Dinty Moore & Campbells has Styrofoam coated mini bowls of soup, beef stew,Chef Boy r Dee pasta, easier to pack/store than full sized cans you featured in this video. FYI.
Maybe have a jetboil or a small to medium camping stove so you can cook if the power and gas go out or for the picnic or trip situation
Idahoan instant mashed potatoes are awesome. I've always been amazed on how a $1 buy would have so much flavor.
I love this idea getting to work on level one right away
You are on your way. Good luck!!
The extra "morale" items (candy bars, snacks, etc) definitely put you over the necessary calories for 72 hours, but just doing the minimum has never been my thing. I like the security of feeling that you have a little more than needed, just in case. "Just in case" seems to be a common prepping motto.
Many thanks to you!! I am very new to this and I loved your videos and your method. You are so Smart and organized I will implement this soon! Thanks!!!!!
excellent, I have a family of 5. I carry in the car about 2-3 days worth of food and water for all of us. I keep mostly canned food and its all stored in a large plastic container.
great video
michael leon Thanks Michael. You have a big family! I think it is good to have a backup supply of food that is common for your family meal plan. After testing our multiple survival bars for 72 hours, I definitely want to avoid having my family go through an initial dietary shock after being accustomed to eating "normal" food.
I love it, good video, and are very organized guy. Keep the good work
Also think about tuna kit pouches
This seems very attainable. Thank you. I feel the need to get my 72 hour bag ready.
Stephanie J M Joseph-Danes I'm glad you enjoyed it. Yes, please get your 72 hour bag ready.
Another great video. I love how organised you are and how much work you put into the videos and the presentation material. And you put it on here in PDF format too.... good on you.
Mike DeMan
There's such a thing of being so organized that you can't get anything done.
Well thought out and nicely explained. Thank you.
+Nicole Woodall Thank you Nicole!
To Becky Stein. Both my kids were conceived, gestated, born and raised as vegetarians. They have remained vegetarians by their own choice into adult life (3 & 28) notwithstanding that my
daughter is married to a butcher. All the crap about not getting B12 or whatever else is just a smoke screen. They are healthy and would seem to be happy with the choice their month and I made for them as they have remained with that choice of their own volition.
I tend to be more organic (chaotic and haphazard) in my approach. I didn't/don't want my prepping, such as it is, to take any additional time and only insignificant resource, out of my daily life. I do real world testing, on my EDC/B and, my procurement is ad hoc, and opportunistic. It's more of a hobby. I think I will put more deliberation into it going forward. If I put 20% more thought into it I'll get 80% more outcome, in theory. Thank you for the organization-check.
Thanks for the recommendation. My family and I do not use cannabis. However, if you do and it is legal in your state/region, I think that would be a good addition to a BOB.
try one of those army p38 can openers a lot smaller and lighter
You have some very good ideas. Thank you.
A bucket of the Colonel's finest and a carton of Lager is all you need.
my favourite prep, FOOD!! Just bout to start thinking of making a food supply bag but i guess i should clean my refrigerator .....
Thanks again! You are the Most organized prepper I've ever seen! BTW! baby prepper is too adorable!
Kudos to you for your organized strategy! I'm thinking that having the plan is 80% of the job. Then it's easy to plug and chug. This is the first video of yours that I've seen, so I'm wondering what you prefer for the long-term storage. I prefer dried to canned, because I think it has more nutrition left in it. Again, great job.
What if you added a stream of income by making your PDF's available as a Kindle book?
Another great video... I am relatively new to the prepping world, But I do enjoy your videos... There is a wealth of great information..
Thank you
GREAT VIDEO, AS ALWAYS! THANK YOU
I just found your channel and this is first video I've seen from you. Really good video! I can just tell how intelligent you are! and baby prepper is so cute! ^_^
Thanks for all the great ideas! Keep up the awesome vids!
I noticed you had canned goods, do you have something to store the excess in once you open the can's, Just curious. I dehydrate my things so that all I have to do is add water, also takes up less space. I was curious about babyprepper's bag, since he can't eat a whole can of veges in one sitting. I also keep ziploc bags and the containers that have the twist on lids, I store things inside the containers when not in use. And when I need them they are there.
thanks, only thing id add is some drink flavoring packs
Amazing video! Organized and prepared!
+Susan Ovington Thank you Susan!
Thanks for the video content! Apologies for the intrusion, I would appreciate your thoughts. Have you ever tried - Proutklarton Crisis Away Plan (just google it)? It is a good exclusive guide for surviving and preparing for a disaster minus the hard work. Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my best friend Jordan after many years got excellent results with it.
dude great video, tons of great ideas that i will be sure to use, thanks!
thanks for improving our preparations.
greating from brazil.
Level up achieved. Great video mate
Great ideas about setting aside 72 hr coolers.
You are so organized!!!
Hope you continue your system
I have watch a lot of your videos and now have subscribed thank you for your valuable videos.
SBN Prepper Cool! Thanks for subscribing. I'm glad you have been enjoying my videos. Looking forward to seeing you more in the comment sections.
Hello TUP,
do You still have the PDF Document from Your Prepping System?
The Link in the Description do not work anymore.
I Love your Channel keep it going!
Best regards from Germany😊
Yes it no longer works. Help please
Very good practical approach!
Excellent module idea!
About a year.
Nice one for picnic, thanks for sharing ,keep safe
this channel made me start prepping great vids!
Really? That is so awesome! I'm honored.
omg. thats so cool.Like the baby pack.my 9 yr old is picky also. Thats a great idea to even have a little something in the suv,just in case.thanks for that. .las vegas
Another great vid! Taking some ideas and adding them to my kit.
Man... I wish you had a television show.
Very well organized and in detail. Do you carry a propane stove as well or how do you cook everything?
good idea mite be needed in the UK due to all the foodbanks
LOL! "No Way on the Mainstay!" That may be my new motto. :)
What do you think of bread in a can and bacon in a can? I never bought it before but I'm curious would it be good to add in your 72 hour bag.
I haven't read all the comments, so I'm sorry if you've had to answer this multiple times. Some of these items require more than just opening up the package and chowing down. Is there a third bag that is part of this system that includes sufficient water, utensils, cookware, toilet & hygiene needs, etc?
Tenderfoot Prepper Yes there is. I should crank out a quick video on that. Thanks for reminding me!
+Tenderfoot Prepper _includes sufficient water, utensils, cookware, toilet & hygiene needs, etc?_
And a camp stove. Cookware's pretty useless without energy to cook with... :) But if you're going camping, then there's probably a fire pit.
penut butter is great for bags. if u have creamy peanut butter it will last for about one year after its expiration date if unopened. i think that is only for the more processed brands like skippy not the super healthy versions. i always keep at least one unopened jar (I think 15 oz it may be a little more i will tell u the next time i head to the store.) my neighbor asked if they could have some peanut butter so i wait they could have that one lol
The dates on jars and cans...they are not...not...expire dates. No where on can does it say expire. It says 'best used by'.
An unopened jar of peanut butter with a date of 07-07-16, will still be edible on 07-07-21 and beyond. Those dates are for stock rotation and reference.
That's a fact. White rice when stored properly has a date of Infinite...as does Salt sugar and a few others. Thought you might like to know.
More videos like this please I love it
I'll look into it!
You were talking about your family and I thought you have more kids than that. The I realized this was 2013. Your videos are always relavent.
