This is what Ive been talkin about you nailed it. Every Prepper needs to watch this video it makes no sense to prepp for a years worth of food water fuel whatever if you have to leave in a moments notice WAKE UP a bug out bag is a bag you grab and run, water ammo 1st aid some food some clothes some snivel gear and some bedding thats all bugg out.
I often think of the parallel between minute men and preppers then I wonder how preppers get such a bad rap these days as compared to the mm of the 17 and 1800's
Thanks for the kick in the but, my water is not where it should be, neither is my bug out bag, like you said all the pieces just not in the bag. Oh ya I am killing my TV. dropping the satelite service and saving $50.00............Most TV is mental masterbation anyway.
awesome advice! me and my wife both have been going through things and organizing! make sure to label things and also make inventory list in your bug out bags and keep them there, do the same with food storage ammo guns etc.. being organized gives you more control over your prepping! hope this helps :)
You're absolutely right. Know where everything is, and know how to identify it in pitch-black, or by feel without pulling it out of your go bag. Also learn how to assemble anything that needs assembly without having to use good lighting. I'm completely blind and do this, and can tell you this is a skill you absolutely must learn. People panic when the power goes out. They wouldn't if they had the slightest confidence in themselves and their ability to manage things without the use of artifi
Just came across this vid. I'm guilty on all counts. Lots of stuff...no organization. Thanks for the kick in the pants. What a great Christmas present! Thanks again.
Hello Sir, new prepper/youtuber here saying thank you for the focus. I like/appreciate ur information but more importantly, it's ur delivery. There's only a handful of personalities that mesh with mine on youtube and so I went ahead and subscribed, but I see that you have a ton of vids for me to catch up on, lol. Thanks again and Merry Christmas to you and yours. :-)
your paranoid...... you and your group of 'preppers' are pathetic, i under stand the poeple that are doing this for fun and a bit of a hobby, but if you really think something is going to happen your pretty retarded, the thing about the apocalypse is that we well all be dead, your shitty bunkers wont help you if something seriously happens.... soo pretty big waste of time if you ask me...... spend your money on something you can enjoy while your alive....
southernprepper1 ......I just don't get it , why are all of you bugging out and running for safety in the woods forest , or mountains when in plain fact the elite will have you all dead.we need all the patriots we can get to survive of what's coming...
you all should have been in the militias and has a huge fallout shelter that is very deep and fully stocked ..with tons of rooms including armor rooms..
I HOPE TO GOD YOU GUYS PROVE ME WRONG..TELL ME IM WRONG AND YOU GUYS ARE FULLY PREPARED!
beware of a guy driving a 76 jeep pick up 4x4 flat black jacked up driving around i think hes part of a theft ring i think hes from mtn rest . i had a saw and a couple of cordless drills stole and a lock cut and he was the only one that saw where i had hid them . it was a new dewalt 18v and a rigid 24v used and a ryobi circular saw i would have gave him . hes around 56 about 6,1 long gray hair smokes and always has stuff for sale
Great reminder to use our time wisely! I know I needed this little kick in the rear to tie up a few loose ends I've been putting off. Like you said, it could go down at any time and we need to be ready at a moment's notice!
When I change the batteries in my smoke detectors I change out the food and clothing in my bag. One of the food items that I put in mine is homemade energy ration bars. Lots of recipes out there. Great video keep them coming. Also I am not sure if you are interested but I have put together a Food Storage cookbook that I would be willing to send you.
Iam going though all my stuff right now, just felt the urge. I am hoping to add a .223 saiga to the kit this christmas, which will help with my defense. I already have a Marlin Model 60 and a m91/30 for it, I need to get a bent bolt for it.
@MaccyMan1 No offense meant here man but have you tried humping all that gear for more than a few miles?
Guess it depends on if your plan is to bug out or dig in, but I always carry gear that I could hump for a day if cars werent available and I needed to get somewhere.
I would suggest an AR15 which is more versatile than all of those.
If your just talking home defense then yeah Saiga is great but trust me if you have to getthehellouttadodge on foot youre not gonna carry all that
@wtfdudenotcool101 I am going through my pack still, I did take it one a several mile walk. I was a little tired but it stayed comfortable going up and down hills and through light foliage. I probably hand 50+ pounds on my back, can't go walking around with my guns though as I life in California. I don't have the money for a AR right now and I have been looking forward to the Saiga for a while now. Also the marlin and mosin would be mostly for hunting large and small game.
You're right brother, you never know when or what will happen, and when it does that's no time to be running around collecting gear, you should have it where you know it is at all times ready to go!
disassembling my 10 year out of service well this weekend(have city water now) and mounting a hand pump on the well casing-Also need to acquire a combat pistol as I have alot of rifles and shotguns but no pistol-Thanks for what you do and I will keep prepping
@southernprepper1 In the process of reorganizing somethings as I type this, just taking a break. Videos to follow, you know us logistics minded guys, lol. Hope your well.
Im being told that I need to change the water in my bottles... do I really need to do that or would boiling or bleach fix that issue ? And how often would I have to change the water in the bottles?
While the sources for our water are clean, you may as well change it out on a regular basis... no need to chance it! I change mine out very three weeks max. I toss them on my bike on my way to work and use them up that way. Bottled water is usually good for a few months after the use by date if kept cool and in the dark.
I have reminders in my Blackberry, Outlook and written on all calendars to check, rotate and test my bug out bag, preps and systems quarterly. Twice annually I test myself to see if I am as ready as I think I am by running drills. I grab and go as well as kill the power and water and make sure all my secondaries are up and ready. This past test I discovered that my BOL wasn't as secluded as I thought.
Good info! This was one of the keys points in the book Patriots. (Being able to get your gear together quickly) As you mentioned organization is key. Prepardness should be a lifestyle and not an emergency.
Thanks Southern Prepper for your insight and making me wish I was home to do all of this, but we have to be out here making a living. Great post like always.
@charlesburton95 They told them that the house was too close to the road. That with it being seen from the road wasn't good in a shtf/wrol situation. It was a great video though.
I must join all the others who have congratulated you on this video. I have been looking for pouches about 6" x 8" x 3", zip sealed and with one or two strong transparent sides. I would use these pouches to store gear that is needed together. The transparent sides would enable me to do a stocktake quickly, reconciling the contents visually against a clearly written list visible from the outside. I am presently using zip-lock bags, but these split easily at the seams. Anyone have a source?
Well i did not check my bags but I did do my 3 month PM on my genset and modified the fuel system. so we are good to go for any winter power issues. Keep up the great work Dave..
well i finished up siteing in all of the guns today repacked our bug out bags and the get home bag in our suv is back in it i even put a tool kit in the suv incase it needs work tonight we are going to tackle the pantry ive been pulling the stuff out of the cellar and makeing room for the power tools and stuff hopefully by the time the weekends over we will have it all done i didnt know i had so much fishing gear but i have plenty to last me for years
I recommend using Aguila Super Collibri (ultra low power subsonic) for bore-sighting your 22LR and 5.56 firearms (won't cycle ... must single-shot) ... This 22LR ammo uses a VERY light projectile and has no powder, using only the rimfire primer as a propellent. IT MAKES NO NOISE AT ALL, even un-surpressed, but is adequate for bore-sighting in a basement or back-yard ... Once you have establishe left-right centerring, the rest can be interpolated using published ballistics tables.
So VERY true (but you knew that) ... DRILL, BABY, DRILL ! (and, "pack, Baby, pack") ...
No sooner than I got my urban and exped packs loaded-out, I realized that my load was just too heavy to afford practical (long distance pedestrian) mobility. So ... I started ordering a 2nd round of critical elements, ... lighter sleep-system ... lighter stoves/burners ... lighter foods and also paring down my over-loaded med-kit and tool-kit. ... Now?, I am in total disarray. Gear is scattered all over!
Amen brother. PMCS is very important. We get all gung ho getting it together and then just let things slide. Even if you havent fired that weapon in awhile it still needs to be cleaned. Dates on food stores need to be checked.
Ah I'm one step ahead of you, I just went through my gear yesterday before work. I try and check everything once a month as preventive maintenance so far so good. Great vids I enjoy them all.
You are CORRECT! 5 years ago I started what I call the Last chance Book.
Everything we have is listed and where it is located. 1. Weapons 2. Food 3. Equipment 4. Medical Supplies 5. Misc. Supplies 6. Clothing 7.Books. Each of these are a tab in my book. Also is a copy of my Land title/taxes, Will, Instructions for my family.
And a copy of the Constitution Handbook. We may be back to that. There are other thing I have put my book that you may not need, but as you said start! Good Work! SP1
I totally agree. During the summer we had a forest fire get dangerously close to our house. I felt like we were prepared fairly well, but still, its doesn't ease the enhanced stress of an approaching forest fire. I can't imagine the fear of the event combined with not being prepared.
SP1 is right. Don't wait. Get prepared now. When you have to bug out, you will be in high stress mode, fear possibly. You'll be breathing hard and may feel light headed. You won't be thinking correctly.
Hi David, thanks for the reminder, I'll see about finishing some things I've started
As a Christian, I believe that The Lord will have us stay put during WROL to help stabilize the local community. I may be wrong but that's just what I'm feeling. I also believe The Lord's saying our winter (Ohio) will be hard so I got studded snow tires on my 4x4 S10
I thank you for your videos, the good ideas, the wholesome language and your level headed demeanor. It's very much appreciated, God bless you.
There is always going to be a situation that comes up that we did not expect, leaving us unprepared. Therefore it is wise to always make Jesus Christ your first line of defence. Prepping is a hot spot for spiritual warfare. So don't let satan exhaust you or cause stress. Put Jesus first, do what you can as The Holy Spirit instructs, and pray morning and evening for Jesus to look after the rest. God is in control. He will not let his people down no matter what happens. Trust in Him. God bless.
Hey southernprepper1 I live in NC and just like SC it gets soo hot in the summer and i was thinking about what i would carry as food in my get home bag?I've seen videos where people put candy bars in their bag and i just think a vehicle get so dang hot how woul;d that even last?Whats the best food to keep in a get home bag that faces long term heat or cold in a vehicle.?Also is it safe to keep ammo in a vehicle that see's drastic changes in heat or cold,or even humidity.
@onebigkahuna69 I rotate my food in my bag, granola bars and snack bars. The only thing you can do is rotate. Ammo is not as big as a problem. Plus I dont usually leave alot of ammo in my vehicle. Rotate the ammo also when you go to the range shot it up and reload the mags.
@southernprepper1 Don't forget to rotate the mags also,because the springs in the mags get "used" more with the ammo constantly in it that it could cause it to fail.
This video is that much more relevant now than ever before... the government is actively working to legalize martial law, and start the Fema Detenion camps. Preppers need to be aware that their lifestyle puts them on the list of potential terrorists. Which means potential detainees when the SHTF. Don't wait for it to be too late, be ready now. Now if Only I could take my own advice more effectively.
Tell me about it. I buy winter stuff in the summer and pack it in some bag and think it's okay but now in it's the winter I am looking for some things and can't find it. Sadly though all I do checks on is my firearms. But now I know to do overall inventories and keep packing lists on or in each pack accordingly
What do you say to a prepper that has nowhere to go, but be in the city? Yes stealth mode I know that!! I intend on bugging in. I don't see a reason to have a b,o.b.
Sp1 perhaps a video on us city folk that have no choice but to Bug in.
Man! I still need to add a few things to my B.O.B. But the problem with this is, I need to invest more ammo so I don't have to worry about a dwindling supply as I practice. My plan is to build up my rifle ammo up to 5-to-6k rounds before practicing again. Once at that point, I'll focus more on buying more gear. So, probably at around Feb. or March I'll buy continue buying what other things are necessary. Also have to send the rifle in for repair... so, I suppose that's part of prepping.
i am not bugging out until the last minute personally.I have 3 separate bug out locations, but am gonna leave until I need to ,I do not have any weapon that is not sighted in or tested either. I do not feel I need to defend my country until we have adequate leadership.
ive got to go out and round up a bunch of my stuff also ive got in all over the house and in the basement my wife and i have been talking about it just so its organized and we have a better idea of what we need and dont need and at the same time it would free up areas like the pantry in the kitchen its turned into my catch all about the only thing thats not in it is food its big enuff to put almost 2 years worth of canned foods alone but now its full of tools and my camping gear
I keep a fully loaded rifleman pack fully ready with my AR in a quick access safe. I always have it loaded with MRE meals in substainment pouches. Every thing I need for 72 hours is ready to hit the road.. Each family member has their own set up. We have a full combat medic pack ready to go in addition.
“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.” Joseph Goebbels
your right / i moved in with my g/f and all my survival gear is at my camper 20 miles away and we just had a power outage and got lucky the neighborhood well pump was still running enough that we could fill up some old juice jugs full of water for the toilets while the power was out / yea it opened my eyes that i dropped my guard
Remember he 6 "P"s. Prior Planning Planning Prevents Piss Poor Performance! Imporvise Adapt Overcome. Peace thru Superior Firepower!! All great concepts but if ya dont practice them then ya ass is a No Go. Prep and go over your Bill of Rights.
David, It is kind of ironic you did this video. My wife and I recently(last week) sat down and reevaluated our preps. First, individually and then together. It is a sobering realization. We need to get more organized.
Great information and wake up call, I was just thinking on these lines last night. My oldest daughter was being followed last night and it took me about 60 seconds to get to my firearm. I had one out, but it wasn't loaded. I know, very stupid...I need to change my tactics now. Btw, I don't watch tv anyway, almost all crap-except Hockey. God bless.
@Tanarus20 The 3 largest "terror cells" are in D.C. the legislative, the judiciary, and the executive. Thats only according to everyone I talk too. LOL but that shit aint funny.
@Tanarus20 Selling firearms, I was provided with a page list explaining cautious activity to look out for. Problem is the english was too vague and political in wording so nothing could be easily understood. Terrorism was not listed, but I could see how it could be thought of as such. Not saying it was right, the whole page stunk the more I read. Not sure if that is what you meant?
@Tanarus20 Yah! It's becoming more of a reality now that NDAA has been passed by the Senate. I'm not hoping for anything when it is set on the desk of our Dictator in Chief, Barry Soetoro, where he claims he will veto it. YAH, RIGHT! Anyway... check out my prepping videos and you'll see I have more than 7 days worth of food and water. I'm now a domestic terrorist more than ever before!
@Tanarus20 I can believe it. People have been saying that this was going to happen for a long time now. Watch an old video of the Phil Donahue show when he had militia members on. I'm not worried about a natural disaster or terrorist attack. I'm worried about some government agent or agency, government generated crisis happening. What do you think is more likely? They just proved it by this latest bill passage.
@Tanarus20 I know right...In Aus, our equivalent of the FBI can't give a rats about if a person were to have more that 7 days worth of food. But it just makes me mad to here that the FBI is saying this to you guys.
Last weekend I got out a rifle that I had not shot in over a year. I had expected to have to zero the scope, but it was dead on. Shot after shot touching at 100 yards. I had a couple 3 shot groups measure 1/2 moa resting on sandbags. That is good for me and my equipment, I shoot iron sight 95% of the time. This did remind me that I need to warm up my generator though. Good video.
Was just thinking about doing this...Most all of our stuff is oranized...We are getting ready to do a BOB for our daughter and I have some new supplies on the way. Going to do it soon.
SP1, don't be so hard on yourself. You're more prepared than 99.99% of the country. I know that we are all lacking in some area of our preps. Great video as always. You're the best!
you told me not to get onto youtube or watch tv until i organize all my stuff... well, then i noticed your video is 4:20 long...and then i thought... hell when im done getting organized i know what im doing XD ...
My BOB is all on the floor spreed out in my room right now. Been working on it for a month and Its still not done yet. My BOB is probably one of the biggest pain butt I have had to deal with when it comes to prepping. I will finish it tomorrow and have it all squared away
@urbansurvivor101 Mine is in the back of my durango, but I need to buy some MREs cause I gave my last one to a homeless person who was begging., true story.
@urbansurvivor101 Great comment. I've sat in my war room (wife's sewing room), and packed, unpacked and repacted my BOB so many times. Good luck getting your BOB repacked buddy. Take care and have a great weekend.
good stuff.! would all south carolina preppers link to me please. id like to know how many like minded people i can join up with if shtf.id hate to be all alone in this world when that happens.power in numbers.im in the northern part of sc.bout 10 miles from carowinds
Smart man. Simple challenge. I am game, and admit my failure for the fast and furious moment. This weekend, it WILL be my goal to be quasi ready for a quick move. My van is fueled always and had tools to the hilt... so It will be my food/defense and unknown I ill need to be ready for.... That is the scary part....
Good points. It's good to take a moment every now and then to make sure your preps are where they are supposed to be and nothing is missing. Sometimes something is borrowed and not returned -best not to borrow anything from your preps.
My sisters family just had a bugout moment and weren't prepared. A convict in transited leaped out of the back of his transport to another prison and he was just down the street from her. Helicopters are circling her house and she's freaking out. Just goes to show it can be anything.
Good advice , thank you. May I also recommend that everyone see to their spiritual lives, for once you are dead nothing can be done....we prep for “possible" physical emergencies if we are wise, I sure have......but do we prepare for certain death since we all die?
Agreed. I keep all my emergency gear in a single location (with the exception of fire extinguishers. I keep 1 in every room) and at least 1 loaded gun in the house.
I got a question for everyone... How far do you think people will travel when the shit hits the fan? I have extra gas and could make it over 1000 miles but I am sure most don't have that. By the way let's just be honest with what we are prepping for - economic disaster. The other disasters can be taken care of with a simple 7 day kit.
True point. I never mess with my bag except to replace something with something better. I keep at least 1 loaded gun in the house and all my emergency gear is in a single location, except for fire extinguishers. I keep 1 of them in every room of my home
If all Americans were like you, this nation would be supreme.

I have reminders in my Blackberry, Outlook and written on all calendars to check, rotate and test my bug out bag, preps and systems quarterly. Twice annually I test myself to see if I am as ready as I think I am by running drills. I grab and go as well as kill the power and water and make sure all my secondaries are up and ready. This past test I discovered that my BOL wasn't as secluded as I thought.

I must join all the others who have congratulated you on this video. I have been looking for pouches about 6" x 8" x 3", zip sealed and with one or two strong transparent sides. I would use these pouches to store gear that is needed together. The transparent sides would enable me to do a stocktake quickly, reconciling the contents visually against a clearly written list visible from the outside. I am presently using zip-lock bags, but these split easily at the seams. Anyone have a source?

I recommend using Aguila Super Collibri (ultra low power subsonic) for bore-sighting your 22LR and 5.56 firearms (won't cycle ... must single-shot) ... This 22LR ammo uses a VERY light projectile and has no powder, using only the rimfire primer as a propellent. IT MAKES NO NOISE AT ALL, even un-surpressed, but is adequate for bore-sighting in a basement or back-yard ... Once you have establishe left-right centerring, the rest can be interpolated using published ballistics tables.
... "close".

No sooner than I got my urban and exped packs loaded-out, I realized that my load was just too heavy to afford practical (long distance pedestrian) mobility. So ... I started ordering a 2nd round of critical elements, ... lighter sleep-system ... lighter stoves/burners ... lighter foods and also paring down my over-loaded med-kit and tool-kit. ... Now?, I am in total disarray. Gear is scattered all over!

I totally agree. During the summer we had a forest fire get dangerously close to our house. I felt like we were prepared fairly well, but still, its doesn't ease the enhanced stress of an approaching forest fire. I can't imagine the fear of the event combined with not being prepared.
SP1 is right. Don't wait. Get prepared now. When you have to bug out, you will be in high stress mode, fear possibly. You'll be breathing hard and may feel light headed. You won't be thinking correctly.

There is always going to be a situation that comes up that we did not expect, leaving us unprepared. Therefore it is wise to always make Jesus Christ your first line of defence. Prepping is a hot spot for spiritual warfare. So don't let satan exhaust you or cause stress. Put Jesus first, do what you can as The Holy Spirit instructs, and pray morning and evening for Jesus to look after the rest. God is in control. He will not let his people down no matter what happens. Trust in Him. God bless.

onebigkahuna69 3 months ago
Man! I still need to add a few things to my B.O.B. But the problem with this is, I need to invest more ammo so I don't have to worry about a dwindling supply as I practice. My plan is to build up my rifle ammo up to 5-to-6k rounds before practicing again. Once at that point, I'll focus more on buying more gear. So, probably at around Feb. or March I'll buy continue buying what other things are necessary. Also have to send the rifle in for repair... so, I suppose that's part of prepping.

The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie.
