  • Wow I didn't expect to find this, very nice. Think I'm gonna subscribe.

  • SOLAR / WIND ???

  • sea foam work way better than stabil

  • oh I will clobber, I will clobber well

    dont get walmarted buddy

  • another good place to get the jerry cans, is Harbor Freight, or Northern Tool, if you have those near you. They cost right arou $15 each there, but you have to figure, 50 gallons of gas, or hiking with all your gear...

  • just put the pan on top of the franklin stove

  • The smaller gas cans are 2 Gallons you can get a storage bench and they fit in a storage bench.

  • Why jerry Cans instead of plastic 5 gallon containers?

  • lol on the gerry can lock up... 2 seconds with a pair of bolt cutter and they are free,

  • @HomeDistiller: True. Regarding an owner response, a lot can happen in 2 seconds as well. Many blessings, my friend --GM

  • @HomeDistiller in 2 seconds I'm out of my house with my Mossberg shotgun and the barrel aimed at his chest....

  • @HomeDistiller I saw some dude who had his cans on his Jeep secured by straps. I was thinking "man anyone could knife those straps and make off with those black cans"

  • at last some one who tells it as it is. have to say you make me laugh but do get the seriousness of you what your tying to put out there thank you

    

  • A good way to make a long burning fuel is to mix kerosene with liquid dish soap. The mixture will harden into silicone-like substance that can be wrapped in fire-retardent cloth mesh for use as a torch. It can be used to heat food, but it doesn't burn very hot and there may be fumes present --even if you can't smell them. I used soap that contained bleach but non-bleach containing soap may work better and safer. I think the mix was 1:2 kerosene to soap. About a cup of this will burn for an hour.

  • This guy has put a lot more logic into prepping than other guys vids ive been watching. That's awesome. *subs*

  • thanx for ur words on alt. fuel, the same aspect goes for water purifying touch all bases have alt. choses u my only be able to grab one at the time. u can save up ur water but thats no good if u leave on foot for some reasone so u must have iodine tabs, filtering bottle, filtration straw, and the fail safe boiling the water, and this aspect works on many other need. keep living friend

  • Hi, where can I find the Jerry cans?

  • @cusitoloco: Expedition Exchange.  There are other sources for Jerry Cans, however, and they can be located with a thorough Google search. Hope this helps! --GM

  • @AnalyticalSurvival I just came from there...do the caps on the new CARB compliant ones comes apart or something to leave me with regular caps like in your video? Or, will I be stuck with the nozzle out all the time?

    Great vid. Thanks!

  • STABIL ROCKS!! I stored 15 gal.gas outside, but covered, for 6 years and it worked perfectly... Great vids I've learned a lot. Thank you...

  • That's why I only drive diesels, no fumes o worry about igniting, and I fill up every 4 days, seeing as how I can carry 157 gallons in my pickup at all times, but may as well ahve as much as possible in case shit happens, I also keep 500 gallons at home for a home generator fuel, if needed it can power my truck.

  • @adamslurch71: Awesome - obviously diesel is a stable fuel choice for those who have engines that are designed for it. Many blessings, and thanks for sharing, brother --GM

  • How much did you pay for the Jerry cans (Each.)? I found them at $15 at a military surplus store.

  • @GreyTrenchYard: Great buy! Many blessings --GM

  • i use wood stoves for cooking heating i live in a national forest plenty of wood. i use solar panels/battery banks. have the ability to make homemade windmill generators from car alternators from cars left on road or where ever & powercords which i have many. collecting car/boat batteries have 5 now. crank flashlights top quality. 2 tanks worth gas stored 4cyl truck. 5gal white gas for stove 5gal propane tank for stove 5gal alcohol for stove. 3 dif stoves. lots of food & meds & other stuff here

  • what is the military fuel gel made of?............ I'll bet its just sterno!

  • @w2aiq: Military Fuel Gel = Diethylene Glycol. Odorless, smokeless, non restrictive, economical, non toxic and friendly to our environment - just what the infantry ordered. Hope this helps, and many blessings, my brother --GM

  • 30 gallon plastic chemical drums (usually used with industrial soap) can be rinsed out and used with fuel. That is about as big as a drum can get and still be man portable, but not so portable that they are easy to steal. Thing is, they stand narrow and take up a fairly small footprint in a storage area. A strong guy can move one by hand, but anyone of nominal strength can fairly easily strap one to a hand truck. Caps are standardized to the sizes used on steel drums and USGI gas cans.

  • Good info !

    We also have 'CRANK' lights, radios and walkie talkies. Keep some candles and lighters ready to go.

    Even if a major catastrophe happens to you, its always better to be self-sufficient and PREPARED. Don't think that the government will save you. Look at Katrina, they FAILED on every level and that was just 1 city.

  • Thank you for the videos they are very helpful and organized which is hard to find on YouTube. Also, I was wondering where you bought your Jerry cans, and also how well are they working. I'm hoping to buy them new, and was wondering if yours are new and if they are metal or not. Thanks again for the great vids.

  • Where is a good place to pickup Jerry can's and mainstay bars?

  • That wood stove is an excellent suggestion. If one had to purchase a new stove would recommend a Pioneer Maid stove with water jacket made by and sold mainly to Amish families or others that heat and cook daily with wood. Lehmans.com sells them they are located in Dalton Ohio.

    Any stove is better than none and free is great! But if you must buy take a hard look at these stoves they are set up for stove top cooking, baking, hot water and heating.

  • BTW ..GREAT videos ..Thanks alot for posting...!!

  • Where did you get the Jerry cans?Thanks

  • @Malibu361

    Some auto parts store carry those cans, I have seen them in both plastic and metal.

  • 1:44 "You don't need that shit."  AWSOME LINE MAN!

  • Best device in a emergency is a RV, thats why I have a motorhome, it has a 100 gal water tank, 60 gal of fuel not including extra gas cans, is has bathroom, bedroom, kitchen, generator, [4000 watts], batteries, its mobile, carries lots of supplies, it also has heat, a/c and 20 gals of propane, try carrying all that in your toyota..

  • @timmac121: Thanks for your insightful suggestions. Many blessings --GM

  • i love that franklin stove haha

  • Craig List is full of free stuff, people throw away or put no value on! you can prepare on the cheap, if you check it out every day. good advice for the starter prepare person who is taking notice these days.

  • Wetfire cubes deteriorate over time, especially if the seal is broken. I don't trust them. Instead, I prefer petroleum jelly cottonballs or jute twine soaked in parrafin.

  • @GotYarbles: Thanks for suggesting helpful alternatives!  Many blessings, brother --GM

  • @AnalyticalSurvival While no system, or combination of systems is without flaw, I would have to agree. I use a wax infused Jute, coupled with fatwood shavings and it catches a spark easily and gives ample burn time to build it up into a sustainable fire.

    Play with it and see what you think. Awesome vid series GM, very informative

  • Have you thought about some type of Sterling engine for electrical generation??

  • Good thinking. So many people will be out of luck the day the grid shuts down. People don't have a clue how to live comfortably with no power, natural gas, or water. When the grid collapses, everything else fails...no refrigeration, banking, ability to pump or buy gasoline, no running water, heat, communications. You are wise to think up ways to keep warm and fed.

  • I am sooo glad I saw this.  I didnt think about this at all...

  • You can teather 2 of the ei 2000s for 4000 watts. Pretty cool huh?

    Love Cypress Hill.

  • I was looking and saw that Gander Mountain have the red 2000i for $1K and the 3000i runs $4K. The tether kit costs $50. So for $2K you could buy 2 of the 2000i models, tether them and have 4000 watts of easily portable power for $2K less than the big heavy 3000 watt unit.

  • @plasticguy2001: Excellent point, brother! Many blessings --GM

  • Grat video!

    I have been storing used motor oil for years (from my cars tune ups). I have not found a use for it but I have the feeling it can be good to have it in a survival situation.

    Do you think of any way it can be useful in the future??

    Regards and thanks for your advice!!

  • 1:43 "You don't need that shit" lol

  • I think I'm pretty squared away for when TSHTF, but you, my brother, are exactly what your name says, Analytical. You do quality work, think things through, and are methodical in executing your plans. Best of all, you document your preps in a very professional manner for everyone's benefit...THANKS!

  • $1400.......I think I can go without electronics (although it's nice). If we are to get attacked by an EMP, then nobodies electronics are going to be safe.

  • What about propane powered generators? Is that a viable option, or should we stick with gas powered versions? Thanks.

  • @sc00b3rt: I think propane is definitely a solid alternative to the gas-powered generator.

    Better yet, you might consider the hybrid variety of generators (gas/propane/natural gas) available by Yamaha.

    Many blessings --GM

  • "Think outside the stove!"

  • Great video. I really like your approach. You clearly THINK, plan then act. This is my approach as well and it saves time and money. I never got a chance to tell you but I also enjoyed and used information from your food storage video. Thanks for taking the time and sharing your ideas.

    One quick question, what was the source you used for the Jerry cans? Forgive me if this already answered below, I have not had time yet to read all the posts.

  • @lllewe2009: Thanks for the compliment, brother! I sincerely appreciate the kind words! The source is Expedition Exchange. There are others, however, that can be located with a thorough Google search. Hope this helps! --GM

  • I'm 18 and ive never felt secure and will never feel secure in today's world. My worst fear is i am one of these brainwashed sheep fooled into thinking that our future is secured. As any other person i don't like to have my survival in the hands of someone else. My family thinks im crazy. Guess it's not "cool" to be prepared. -_-

  • @ThatDifferentGuy: Keep up faith, my friend! It's mostly a state of mind. Many blessings --GM

  • don't forget charcoal- indefinite shelf life

  • again, great vid. this stuff is GOLD. with your permission i'd like to save them on my computer so I can watch em w/o internet. this is like a video bible for when the shit hits the fan. thanks for serving our country and this expertise. i still feel unprepared, but now i know how unprepared I am and that is the first step to getting my ass covered in an emergency.

  • nice vid' with good info, I would change one thing though, I'ld use diesel instead of gas, deisel engines are much more tolerant over the quality of fuel used and if genuine fuel is unavailable you can improvise a suitable replacement.

  • @whylie74: Thanks, brother! --GM

  • @AnalyticalSurvival no problem, also deisel has a much higher flash point than gas and doesn't give of explosive vapour either, so is alot safer. That does't mean it can or should be kept in the house, it still has fumes and they'll give you a wick head ache.

  • @whylie74: I totally agree with your reasoning, brother! Great ideas, and I welcome them! Correct me if I'm wrong, though, but would that also mean changing my engines or types of vehicles to accommodate diesel (I'm assuming so, but I'm not entirely sure). Also, these Jerry Cans (which are outside, BTW) have stood in their place for a few years now, and so far we have not had the slightest issue with fumes (knock on wood). Nonetheless, thanks for your helpful suggestions! --GM

  • @AnalyticalSurvival yes it would, I'm not saying you must go buy a new truck now or you and yours are gonna die, you know, just keep the advantages of deisel in a bug out, end of civilization scenario the next time your in the market for a truck/4x4, car or generator.

  • @whylie74 Right, and Diesel = heating oil so you can store thousands of liters at home if you wish. One problem with Diesel is that (if the temperature is below -20°C) it can cause problems in the engine though.

  • I have seen some nice wood stoves that can also heat water in a side compartment and bake bread in another compartment. When I was a kid my Dad used to install wood stoves. Many people would "upgrade" to a fancy new stove and just give us the old cook stoves. We had so many we could not give them all away. It was sad to have to take them to the scrap yard. Ask around and you might find one for free. (Or Crags list like you did).

  • GM- Sorry for the other comment, I missed this vid somehow. Old age must be getting to me. It a great vid though.

  • I'm interested in the military fuel gel? What is it intended to fuel? Also what is it called exactly so I can find some. Thanks so much for the info. I have been going through your videos recently.Me and my girlfriend have been taking a little bit out of our paychecks to build our preparedness, and your videos are extremely helpful for us to prioritize our next steps.

  • @SixtyAteOutdoors:Hey, brother! Thanks so much for watching, and also for your kind words of encouragement! I believe the fuel is called 'Diethylene Glycol.'  Good luck -- GM

  • @SixtyAteOutdoors The commercial version is called "GreenHeat" You can find it by entering it into google.

  • A little while ago started to think about then store a little fuel for 2 ring portable Coleman stove, especially as my local area is prone to unpredictable power cuts, excuses made to do with maintenance, more like to do with living on edge of elec' grid - if any probs they just switch us off! Your vid has spurred me to strategise more efficiently/effectively my reserves.

  • Fantastic work. I watch some of them over and over and over again just to deeply absorb such a commanding, reassuring and empowering voice into my own sense of preparedness. Perfect material and delivery for these days.

    BUT....

    Jerry Cans! Where might i find this supply which you mention sir?

    Thanks kindly/

  • For more flexible - in house or car camping - I like the classic Coleman two-burner camp stoves. These will run on "White Gas" or unleaded fuel, and you can score one from craigslist for $20 or so. Get older ones built in the 70s and 80s. For bug-out purposes - single burner Peak stoves use same fuel. Again, haunt craigslist. I got a single burner for $10. You can also get lanterns to use same fuel, giving you pretty good flexibility.

  • Extremely informative. THX

  • great video sir

    i suggest to everyone to look and download the free paul pantone plans for plasma reactor

    you can run small to large engines on reduced fuel plans are free and calculated for 80% water to 20 % fuel (diesel or gas) so that will increase your storage of fuel considerable just bug out carrying 20 gallons and mix when and where you require

    look into it folks it works

    god bless

  • I have followed your advice, I now have four 5 gallon jugs of gasoline stored in the farthest corner away from my house in my backyard. I also treated all 20 gallons with Stabil, stored inside of an old plastic playhouse the kids no longer use. The gas is out of the sun and at least 30 feet away from the house. I also have an old Jaguar XJ6 in the driveway which has two 12.5 gallon tanks that I keep filled with gasoline. I now have a total of 45 gallons available for emergency use.

  • Awesome! I'm glad to hear that you've taken appropriate action! Drive on --GM

  • Thank you for all the information that you provide. Some of us would not think of things that are quit important!

    Youtube can be a bountiful of information, and it's people like yourself that make this website such a great website.

    Blessing to you also.

  • Awesome house rule! I love it, brother --GM

  • Thats a really good point and video, I never really thought about backup power.

    I just hope anarchy or wrol NEVER happens.

    Good video, Wayne

  • lol at "clobber the bastard that tries to takes it"

  • Another outstanding video. Well thought out and clearly communicated ideas. Would you mind sharing or PMing your Jerry Can source? Thanks in advance and keep up the good work.

  • Dude your gunna be that last one alive if there is ever a zombie apocalypse.

  • Gotta say, one of the best put together videos ive seen in along time. Adding clear, sharp still images, with excellent, too the point, no bs narraration. No fluff. High production value in my eyes. Not to mention packed with useful information. Id give you a 6 of 5 stars if such a thing were possible.

  • You scored with the fireplace. Nice work! :-)

  • Thanks for the video. Where is a good resource for getting Jerry Cans?

  • Good advice.

  • Damn! I didnt even think about fuel preserver, thanks!

  • Good job!!!!!

    Thanks for sharing

  • Great videos, well laid out and very informative. Excellent!

  • You're quite welcome!

  • Fantastic video! Thanks for posting this information.

  • Thanks!

  • talking of energy sources , a hydro-generator is a sound investment too

  • Thanks

  • Great vid...awesome job.

  • Lol, well said, clobber the bastard. I was thinking that before you said it. Thanks for the videos. I appreciate it you are giving me new ideas I didn't have before.

  • You're welcome, brother!
