Maybe you have to rely on beans and rice only so what you do and don't break the bank: SPICES! ever had rice and bean pudding with vanilla and cinnamon?Curried rice and beans,rice and beans sweet and sour,rice and beans with chili con carne spices? Check out how Asians make desserts with beans and or rice .SPICE UP YOUR PREP ❤❤
Underrated comment.
Robby Wheaton, I'm sorry to hear of your loss. My condolences for the family & your friends on behalf of your Mother.
Hope and prayers for Robby my condolences too
I’m so sorry for your loss. The loss of a Parent is one of the biggest events in your life. You and your family are in my prayers. May God bless and watch over you and your loved ones. 8:30
In a real situation a can of expired chilli may save a life. If the can isn't bulged it's edible.
fascinating. how can i use a can of chilli as, say, a tourniquet or breathing device, or to sanitize water? i need to know more about how chilli can be life saving. can you throw a can of chilli to a drowning person? how does that help? super interesting.
why just chili? what makes it special that it can be used if say, an expired can of corn cannot? fascinating information.
@@DrSchor Ahh, I see. You're a miserable troll with nothing better to do than be an arse. Got it.
Have a nice life.
@@DrSchor This is genuinely pathetic. You really need to try harder.
I gave up everything and starting van live i hope one day i can buy land but im tired of paying thousands just to rent a one bedroom apartment
Excellent decision. It's a growing trend. You'll be able to get land in a few years!
Sounds like a smart decision for you, at this time. Hopefully you can find your place in the future, but rent is a killer.
I hate to tell you that you wont have a week or even a day it will happen suddenly without warning when you least expect it
arent hurricanes forecasted out a week ahead? can you describe a scenario where hurricane will Suprise us
A generator is missing from my preps. If I had to pick something(s) to get, it would be a dual fuel (gasoline-propane) generator and 4 more propane tanks. Maybe another month’s worth of canned and dried foods.
Expiration dates are more the result of marketing and corporate greed than actually no longer being edible.
That’s more of them say “best by:” and not expired by. And yes I don’t follow that.
Yep. Even ewe ess dee ay admits it's a $cam.
True.they are actually eatable for much longer 2_4 years.

I set up nearly identical GHB for 4 ppl, 3 days in every vehicle.
I understand those that advocate light weight. IMO, I can always sort and dump. Can’t depend on remembering to update Spring,summer,fall ,winter setups.
sorry for robbys loss
I don't think you've ever mentioned the high priority of a good pair of hiking boots. Warm enough to wear year round, with extra pairs of socks.
if they were a high priority he would have mentioned it. he is an expert who knows what we need. dont be silly and spend part of your 1000 dollars on something no one really needs. and yikes! who doesn't already have a few pairs of socks.
@@DrSchor Right. NO ONE needs good boots...🙄
Have a way to hook a generator to your well pump so that once a day you can pump water from a deep well. A hand pump will work gine on a shallow well
Please send my condolences to Robbie, from North Carolina. Prayers going up for him and his family.
Sadly, you must protect from those who take, whether by crowbar, weapon or committee.
Condolences to Robby/family/friends
I keep a get home bag in my truck. It’s over stuffed with “too much” stuff. I also keep items like an IFAC, shovel, axe, rope, etc. plan is to discard items I would not need and add items I would need depending on the situation, how far I’m going, availability of water, and threats. If we are going a further distance, we will add my wife’s get home bag as well. Would have enough supplies, food, and water for a couple weeks (more of less) of inconvenienced camping if needed. Also have items to boil, filter, chemically treat water and fish, trap, hunt, and forage edible vegetation. I do need to get more knowledgeable so we can identify and eat more than blackberries and dandelions lol
i dont get the joke. why was that funny? about the dandelions
I use AlexaPure. I changed my filter every 6 months for one person = to 200 gallons. I use 2 small pots of water for coffee twice daily. One in the morning, one in the late afternoon. Use raw cane sugar or honey and have canned milk when needed. Cindy
You know you can clean the black solid filters several times.
Condolences to Robby and family.
Great job! I really enjoy your common sense no frills approach. Thanks for sharing. Prayers for Rob’s family
Take an inventory, then prioritize.
Berkey has aluminum in their filters that gets in the water. The levels are way beyond safe.
No potable consumable water is a death sentence. Dehydration / hypovolemic shock is way beyond safe. Wouldn’t want unnecessary metal contamination however sometimes need to weigh pro vs con.
Speaking of a personal SHTF, I went to work one day and fell and broke my ankle in 2 places. Surgery 5 days later and doctor says it will be close to a year before I can return to work. Preps have had to go on a back burner for a while until I can walk again. Things happen beyond our control so if you are prepared, you are ahead of the game.
When I had the accident back in 2016. ( broken knee) my preps saved Me plus food banks. I'm always putting away a little at a time it helps..I wish you a speedy recovery..UA-cam had plenty of videos on how to rehab
eating pork and beans that were best by 2015. they are still tasty 😋
Yes! Canned foods are usually good for 25 years. I try to buy premium brands for taste and for quality of production.
if they are tasty now, just think about how mouth watering they would have been if you ate them by their best by date. i prefer to eat by best by date, but that is just me. why wait untill they start to taste off. i dont get how that helps you survive.
@@DrSchorNot the point, ol’ critical one.
Great video. Nice to hear Sarah mac. Thanks
Berkey's aluminum problem is only with their flouride filters. The black carbon filters have no aluminum. But Berkey still declines to have their gear tested by any standards organization.
Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that Robbie's mom died. Even if you know it's coming, it's really hard to use your mom.
Rabbits take up very little room, the poop is great for the garden, they breed like rats, ready to harvest in just six weeks, and they eat a scrap from the garden. 20 Rabbits consume about a gallon of water per day. Best protein out of any animal
Hello! Curious about the “Going Home” book(s) you spoke about. Please provide specifics! Thank you for all you do!
My condolences to Robbie and his family during this most difficult time. 😢😞
I'm 47yrs old. $73,000 biweekly and I'm retired, this video have inspired me greatly in many ways that I remember my past of how I struggled with many things in life to be where I am today!!!!❤️
My dear, please for the love of God can you shed light on how it happened??
All thanks to Christine Evelyn Mackie
She's helped countless individuals transform their financial situations.
Absolutely! I've heard stories of people who started with little to no knowledge but made it out victoriously thanks to Christine Evelyn Mackie.
I do know Christine E. Mackie, I also have even become successful....
Sorry to hear of his loss.😢
I'm visiting my brothers this summer, but when I get home I'm doubling down on storing water.
We gotta have water to survive! Period! And a way collect it, store it, AND filter it, is a great asset!
period? i think you need more than water to survive, dont you. i dont know, i am just asking . like in the video, doesnt a rambo knife help somehow. come to think of it. how does that knife help, say, if you are not being chased by the sheriff?
One chemical,one physical and one mechanical method for water.
@@DrSchor You can only go about 3 days without water! You can go 3 weeks without food! So where does your cheesy Rambo knife fit into that?
You’re like a walking encyclopedia! Love watching your channel, we’re feeling bad for Robbie tonight. Prayers for the family 😊
So sorry Robbie. I lost my Mom too many years ago and I still miss her every day.
Condolences to Robby and his family.
I gave up on prepping. No matter how much I try to get ahead the cost of things is just too much. Especially on one buget.
I feel you man, I’ve got a decent bit of capabilities, probably overextended into firearms, but emergency food and solar is getting pricey. I’m looking at what I have left to do and 100gal water barrels, an additional 3 months of food, and setting up solar and battery backups are all such massive expenses. I’ve just started a garden for now and might get a rain collection system and call it there for now.
I lost a good portion of food when I started preparing. If it wasn't in a can or jar it didn't make it. I have some water, camp stuff and 2 weapons. No solar power stations or generators.
Never give up, a few times spending a few hundred through the years and 10$ here or there you'd be shocked what you can get to
I’m 23 working a minimum wage job and yeah it’s almost impossible, I’ve got a few guns and some food but other than that it takes months to save up to buy anything.
Don’t prep like they do. Just buy a little bit extra each time u go to the store. A can here and there really adds up quick. We just found a deal on beans so I bought 90#, next time I’ll scrounge something else. We found ham for .49 cents a pound so I bought 150 pounds and canned it up. Don’t worry about what these guys are doing, hoe your own row!❤❤❤
Thanks for the battery tester idea!!
I'm so sorry to hear about Robby's loss of his mother. May she always rest in peace.
Asian markets usually have 8-10 different kinds of rice in 20# bags. Each has a different flavor. Each 20# sack may cost the same as three or four single # supermarket bags.
what is the best flavor for survival, say, if i could only afford one bag. which flavor has the most vitamins, the most electrolytes, and the longest shelflife? thanks. is it packed in 20 pound bags because that is best for survival, or should i buy more than one bag or just half of it?
Indian markets are great to get live ginger turmeric and several kinds of beans and herbs you can grow.❤
Thank you❤
Bless his heart. I’m so sorry for him. I hope his family and him will find peace.
🙏🙏 so sorry for the loss of Robbys mom..ty for sharing. Deepest sympathies to all..
2000 gal Water, 5x 100lb bags of rice, 100lbs of homemade jerky, 10lbs of multi vitamins, salt and pepper to taste. This is just food of course.
Always an interesting though experiment to consider what you would do if you found out you were going to have to shelter in place without power in your home for as long as possible and had one chance to shop with the cash you have in your home.
If there are things you would NEED to get, then those are places that you need to prep. If you could not need to go, the things you would get are likely places where you could prep deeper.
If you would just "insulate" your preps with a deeper pile of beans and bullets - then you are likely in a good place already - since you are just maximizing duration at that point.
I know for my case, the things I would get would be things that I would only use in a apoc (and so don't get rotated will pre-apoc) - like powdered milk and canned meats. I have some of those, but it is a chore to rotate through them, since I prefer fresh and, like SP said, topping off on gas and things like that.
Also, as I consider it today, there is a gap in clothing between my kids today and when they are grown. When I get them new shoes I usually grab the pair that fits and the next 2-3 sizes up as well so that they can just wear them out as them move up, but I would likely grab an extra pair or two of boots for myself and shoes up to adult sizes for the kids. Most everything else, they could just live in oversized clothes. So, a dozen or more pairs of shoes would certainly take a part of my $1K.
what is the difference between a thought experiment and a though experiment. is a though experiment more thorough? there is so much i need to know.
Great insight, For $1000 budget, You’re definitely gonna have to get creative. Once your food, water & medicine needs are met, you can always get gear from the military surplus store that is used & cheap. A lot of their items are tried and true. Then i’d get a Mossberg Maverick 88 shotgun. You can still get some 12 gauge shotgun shells both defensive and target for relatively cheap at Walmart. If you choose to go getting a pistol versus a shotgun for your only means of protection, then, believe it or not, a lot of gun stores have decent used pistols for sale. A lot of people sold back to the stores, their guns that they purchased during the pandemic (because of inflation, etc.).
The Amish are professional preppers and could survive well for long term.
i thought they were professional farmers. how do they earn a living by prepping?
Farmers mean They sell goods and some are carpenters. @@DrSchor
Look my wife and I have been preparing more than we did before 2016. We have not taken a vacation. We decided we going camping up north in Michigan for a week. What’s your thoughts??
Go to Wisconsin instead, Outagamie County is a great area
Michigan is going broke. My aunt has a job where they combine health places like doctors and even hospitals into multi-county things. Maybe Detroit still has money and Ann Arbor where she lives but a lot of the state is broke
if you go camping in michigan for a week that will count as a vacation. you already know you can't afford that. spend the money on vital prepping stuff. you can't be too prepared you know. just saying.
Michigan has great camping from fun parks to rustic options. It's a good time to practice survival skills and also relax. 😊
@EssentialTam33 It also has a tyrannical governor, which means money spent in that state goes to support a tyrant and her programs, no thanks.
Condolences 😢 to Robby
The UN standard rehydration mix, recipe only, needs 4 common cheap ingredients. It is given to dysentery and dehydration patients. Works jusr as well as all the fancy brand name electrolytes, but $5 worth will last a family of four for a month. Adding flavoring makes it palateable.
what is the recipe? sound important.
One of my favorite channels! I'm always looking for new ideas. Thanks
If you know it's 1 week till hell use those credit cards lol.
people tell me i have a good sense of humor but i don;t get the joke. please explain
@@DrSchorpeople need to stop telling you that
Having credit cards declined for no real reason is likely to be an earlier warning of impending SHTF within 72 hours. Would likely be an internal server or communications error of an odd code type. 😮
Most people live month to month.i don't know very many people that even have $1,000 saved.i grow veggies in buckets and flower beds around my apt house.my landlord lets me.i live in town.i can't have chickens.so i hatch out chicks.quail.ducks.geese for my friends in the outside of town.We have been doing this for 2 years to help each other.i started buying steel ballbat .and hunting knives for my girlfriends that don't have a gun to protect themselves.they cost $4.00 at the goodwill.i bought paper maps and compass.i buy extra candles and canned food at the dollar store.We have fishing poles.dogs to warn us someone is snooping around.
Hi-Points are good rugged firearms with great warranty, going with their 9mm pistol and carbine you are looking at between $300.00 to $400.00 for a nice home security setup and then only having to worry about one caliber of ammo
why buy ammo you have to worry about instead of a brand name?
@DrSchor did you watch through the video, it is how best to spend $1000 on preps you don't now have, so my post is for the price of a name brand firearm even a Taurus you're looking at $300, now you have to buy ammo, with my suggestion you get pistol and carbine for the price of one, still need ammo, hope that explains
Just found your channel. Love this video. I learned so much but have not prepped at all and am now living in fear. I am a Christian too and need to rely on Christ instead being run by fear. That being said I still believe I should prep. I am going to use this video to start. I am a 63 year old single disabled woman so I feel I would be a target. I do have a daughter and son in law for support but I don’t want to jeopardize their safety bc of my disability. What do I need to do to get a gun? I want to be able to help my family not be a burden. The only thing I can think of is to learn to use a gun. My son in law owns a gun. I can buy ammo for him but what else would you suggest? Sorry this is so long.
If I had $1000 and one week, I would get more grow lights , the rest of my medicinal seeds, a jase case and more storage items (mylar, mason jars, etc). If there's any cash left, a few more water filters 😊
Grab an ounce of silver. You can make guaranteed female seeds with that by giving clones a FtM sex change and using the pollen to pollinate female pldnts.❤

For this challenge I'll change dollars to PLN for obvious reasons of living in Poland:
1) Ferro rod - cheap, reliable and durable source of fire starting
2) If I'm planning to buy bottled water, then water for 100-150 PLN, Lifestraw here costs around this margin of 100-150
3) Food for 300 PLN, some would be dry goods, some canned
4) Gram of medical PREVENTION would be more important than kilogram of medical intervention, however iodine and charcoal would do fine in both cases (medical and hygiene for at most 100 PLN)
5) 20l of gasoline in a jerry can for around 130-140 PLN
6) 12V/230V converter to charge crucial devices from the car itself costs 100-200 PLN - a massive saving in comparison to full-size not pathetic quality power generator costing at least 700 PLN
Whatever is left goes to toilet paper and maybe flashlight with corresponding batteries. I don't mention stuff like backpack, clothing and others due to having them.
PS Or simply because something may be too expensive for such a budget (such as firearms and ammo).
You need far more food than that. I spend 300 PLN a week on normal shopping.
Once you learn the Pretro-for-dollar “U.S. Saudi deal” never existed and that the U.S Treasury is buying back bonds left and right at the moment with stored gold. Yes we aren’t backed by gold but why would the U.S. not hold gold? Prepare for the worst pray for the best. Focus on your own retirement, become good independent as best as you can, learn your neighbors and trade with them talk with them, get involved with your communities and see how many like minded individuals are within them and how y’all can better prepare the entire town/neighborhood. Yes, L.A. isn’t going to be able to much with this but you can still get several folks around you involved if you can built true trust and comradery.
Best wishes to Robby.
$300 on a cheap shotty. The rest split between ammo and meth.

Robby, my condolences. I’m sorry for your loss brother.
If I had $1,000 to play with just to buy the last minute things, cuz that was all I was going to be able to have besides what I already have.... I would buy a few more bags of flour and I would buy more canned meat. The flour that I buy at the store, I would make ships biscuits or tac with. They are super dry and concrete hard and have a super long expiration date. I would also buy canned meat like spam or canned ham for example. I would also buy some medicines like advil, Ibuprofen and Tylenol add Imodium AD period about I would focus on those items....
What's your poop is the fan homeowners insurance is the last thing that I'm going to concern myself with them this is due to if this is concerning a war situation or an Insurgent or what have you that its internal. At that point I would have my vehicle prepped with all that's needed in case of any emergency that was so severe you only had minutes to move and get out
interesting. what are all, and i mean all, the things you need in your vehicle?
@@DrSchor I've experienced 3 emergencys so far. 2- too close for comfort floods and a giant chemical spill.
From wool blankets, fire blankets, pillows, all gear needed for cooking and camping in the trunk of the car. Shovels /rakes - collapsible. All fishing gear. Protection...etc....etc. never know what comes our way and how fast it comes
Shelf stable food, water or purification, fuel.

I'd like to keep my 22lr revolver single action army replica in my get home car bag. Because I don't always carry an everyday pistol. Where I live is very, very, very low crime. It's kind of like pleasant-ville. That doesn't mean crime or shtf won't happen here, I understand crimes happen every day, in every town across america. It's just very rare where I live. I am very blessed to live in a great city.
But, I just don't feel right about leaving a firearm in my get home bag.
I do not want to lug a bag up and down to my 3rd story condo.
I definitely do not want it to get stolen or for it to fall into the wrong hands.
I have a Grayl, it's a bit heavy. The new titanium is pretty cool with nesting cookware, but spendy - over $200

If you have a well, is it wise to get a inverter to hook up to your vehicle to get water out of the of the well
why not use your gas generator to operate the pump. why does it have to be an inverter. is it something about 12 vs 120 volts. did you ever notice 120 is exactly 10 times 12? makes you think doesnt it.

why not just store the foods that are not high in salt?
@@DrSchor they are not preserved
Learn how to pressure can or water bath your own food. Due to the process, it’s not necessary to add a lot of salt or any if you don’t want to.. you need to pressure can meat but it’s not hard to do.

Hi new subscriber
I questioned my Pastor about purchasing a weapon for protection
And the response was As Christians the Bible says we are NOT supposed to have weapons because God is our Protector. I am really tornes about this because I’ve been having this heavy on my heart that I need to get protection but I don’t want to go against God nor take away from His job to Protect me and mine. Please share your thoughts on this matter thank you.🙏
Psshh! Have a gun in one hand and your Bible in the other and see who saves you
