Amazing video, in another video of yours you reminded me owning feeder chickens and rabbits is useless unless you can feed them without commercial products. There definitely are things to think about. I think the worst thing to worry about will be the millions who don't, they will come for those who did.
In Thailand, the traditional method of defecating is to squat over a hole in the ground, (google "squat toilet"). This method makes very little, if any, collateral mess on your cheeks. To clean up, you use a bucket of water to generously splash away any potential remainders and follow up with your left hand. Being a fussy Westerner, I use TP for the follow-up, but it always comes away clean. I have found this to be much more sanitary than TP alone, and uses less or none to get the job done.
Ladies... consider purchasing a "Diva Cup" ... I've got two for me plus two for my young daughter to use when she gets older. Check out Ama zon for more info. No need to stockpile tampons/pads unless you want them for bartering.
train to become an emt thats the best way to prevent infection or nursing training if you have someone in ur tribe who has these skills, the all you have to worry about is supplies and keeping them sterile
TP and B kinda like PB & J! (Toilet Paper and Batteries) the new survival currency.
I don't think most of these scenarios are *likely* but ah crap if they come to pass. If your not out in the boonies setup like a 1875 farmer good luck to you. I love that SP1 is getting people to think about this stuff though, because people really are unprepared even for a likely scenario. If thing really get this bad oh buddy even the boonies are gonna be bad.
Ha! If we gave our wives the, "Woo, hallelujah! Thank goodness you're not pregnant!" bit during non-SHTF time we'd be in the doghouse for sure. They DO NOT like to hear that response to the good news.
In really bad times, though, I bet they'd be saying the very same thing themselves. WROL / SHTF will change our perspectives on many, many life and death issues.
One of the best prepper intellectual sources on the net, right here folks. He's one of the rare, truly honest guys who just want to help people learn to OBSERVE, THINK and PREPARE.
Very good video. I believe in 'Relationship Building' preps...best way to make friends and forge alliances. In my opinion, relationships will help you survive a SHTF situation more than any other prep.
For the outhouse in winter: When my mom was a girl they'd take a couple sheets of newspaper and lay them flat on the (only warm) wood cookstove. When they got warm they'd fold them in quarters and tear a off the corner to make a hole in the middle. Then they'd tuck that under their coat and dash out to the outhouse and lay the newspaper down on the seat and plop down on that. She said it made sitting on the cold seat a lot more comfortable. :)
Great video! Thought about the toliet paper and womens products but I don't have a watch! Guess I never thought about it. Well one more thing to buy I guess..lol
Just remembered something else about outhouses. At my grandparents in the midwest we kept a makeshift feather duster, fashioned from some old chicken feathers tied to a stick. Before you sat down you grabbed that and swept it thru and around the edge of the hole to clear it of cobwebs and black widow spiders.
And in colder climates you might want to fashion a toilet seat out of rigid styrofoam. Makes for a nice, warm seat, much better than wooden, plastic or porcelain.
VERY informative and motivating!! Wow what a HOOT--it's really funny while at the same time it's not a laughing matter--it's VERY serious. SKILLS are going to be so important as well. May we all keep learning and storing. Great Work!!
Problem with automatics and manual winds are that they need sorting by highly trained watchsmiths. I'd personally stock up on lithium batteries for a good digital and if those run out odds are situation's so bad that noone else thinks about much more than "morning-noon-evening" anyways. Dried moss in a linen bag works great for sanitary pads and diapers. It absorbs well and it's antiseptic. Can even stretch into a dressing if needs be.
@903lew I have had my manual-wind Seiko wristwatch since 1977. Its been in the shop to be cleaned about three times since I bought it. Probably should take it in more often. I guess the newer ones are more picky?
I also have a nice old schoolhouse 30 day keywind clock, very reliable.
My grandma had a stash of old cloth diapers. They were used for everything, cleaning cloth, strainers for berry juice, dish towels, fly-proof game wrap, sanitary pads.
@hunt1803 I guess like all things it depends on the quality of the maker and the individual watch itself. That being said manual winders will be less prone to failure than automatics (there's no disc spinning round all the bloody time overstressing the overturning disconnect). I'd recommend taking any mechanical watch to the shop about every five years, if nothing else to give it a lube and a once over. Think of the watch as your car, how often does that get serviced?
ive gotten away from a watch and keeping track of time now-a-days. unless im in school i dont really need to anymore. i have two months of toilet paper for wife and i stored pluss what ever is left of the everyday use stuff when SHTF. we have one month worth of girls needs. will be getting more now that you reminded me. dont forget soap. i have about four spare batteries for my weather watch that tells time and the weather with all kinds of meters on it. that i want for sure it really works well
I love your videos, you are so entertaining. I always learn something. Thank you also for encouraging people to help others. Building community is what will save us.
You bring up a good point with your watch dying. Spend some money and buy one with a nice perpetual motion in it. Its what alot of higher end watches use, like Rolex. Not everyone can afford one of those, but I also have a Citizen that runs with no batteries at all. It's called eco-drive.
The first things i started stocking up on where feminane products, because if the wife aint happen nobody is happy..LOL Besides you can always use some of them as pressure bandages if you know what i mean.
I have something to tell time with. It is called the Sun, lol. Anyway, there are a few items I know from when I used to be very poor (we are well off now) that work well for toilet paper replacement. Corn cobs work well, oddly enough, paper that is not gloss if worked with a bit, And larger plant leaves (make sure you stay clear of poison oak, ouch.
Southernprepper1, I'm glad you've continued with the story line. Patriotnurse put up a video on feminine hygeine back in March.....BUGOUT and SHTF Feminine Hygiene is the name. I was unable to post the link in the comments section. It certainly was very informative and makes you think abit. Just like your videos.... :)
Should have wiped out the BGs in the beginning. Of course that is wishful thinking.
A petition is only useful if everybody who signs it is willing to back it up with blood and lead.
The main difference between a illegal gang and the government is that we accept the government stealing our hard earned goods. If you give the BGs anything, they will turn around and use it against you to get more stuff from you. Paying them will also legitimize them.
Good one! Reminds me of my Granny's out house with the Sears Catalog in it. LOL. (It was printed on newsprint) You met my wife, we were going to buy the material and she's going to sew some cloth diapers. She's a seamstress. Those bikers must be riding sports bikes. The bikers I know would be the type to hunt down those that shot the farmers and the new Gov. we don't pay much attention to the one we got now.
ATTENTION LADY PREPPERS: Look up menstrual cups. I bought two for twenty dollars each. I bought the medical grade silicon moon cup brand. They are guaranteed to last for at least 10 years each... Hope this helps
good thought. all my watches have "hands", but all are battery operated. can you even buy a wind up watch any more, or have they become pricey fashion items?
lol When I was in Cuba, most of the time we used the news paper. Whenever we had toilet paper, it was like "party time" The bad thing about the new paper is the ink lol. We had no phone book or any other magazine in Cuba. It was only the new paper or paper bags from the store lol. Its Great to have toilet paper. GOD Bless America.
When I was a kid they used the Sears Roebuck catalog in the outhouse. It was the size of the phone books today, and was made from a nice, soft newsprint at the time.
And I love my Seiko wind-up wrist watch, it has big numbers that I can read, and a second hand, too. Have had it since 1977. Its not a fancy one that tells the day or date, just a simple watch. I'll bet there are still some nice windups at watch repair shops.
We kept a sear's catalog in the outhouse. Do they still print a sear's catalog? There was also a few corn cobs (dark coarse horse corn cobs and fine "checker" white corn cobs) with instructions. Everybody always opted for the tp.
I really like when you do the scenario video's. It makes it seem so much more real. It makes you think about any holes you might have in your prep's. Great job.
Any "gang" claiming to be the new goverment I'm sure will be shot down quick, as it should be. No one is gonna put up with moochers Tax. I bet the gang problem will be really bad right after a WROL situation
My girlfriend bought one of those "Diva Cups". It's a silicone cup that catches menstrual blood. It's reusable and as long as it's cleaned, pretty much infinite.
i have a mechanical pocket watch from the late 1800's still works fine also a collection of newer ones. if i would see that you guys might have an advantage over the new local gov and there thugs you guys have all the food and you guys know the land just pick the bikers off if you guys have any strong wire across the roads and such . love the vids btw
When in short supply you can take a sheet of TP and put it over a sheet of newspaper. Having a big stack of old newspapers might come in handy too. It's great for gardening as well.
I see you are carrying in the crapper. Good idea. But where do you put it when you have to go "poopy" ( I have young children)? Been carrying for 16 years. Always wanted to have a safe place to store my handgun while going (my outer belt has to come off anyway because of weight). Anyway, consider building a shelf or something designed to secure a handgun while allowing quick/fast access. You just never know when you'ill have to defend yourself with your pants down.
The door on the outhouse should open inward so on a hot day, you can leave it cracked open. If it opens outward, a wind may catch it and there you are, caught in the view of everyone!
Sir you have talked about everything we have done. I raised all 4 children on nothing but cloth diapers and still have some left in storage. I washed them in the creek by hand as they messed them.At one time in our life we had a subscription to the news paper just so we didn't run out of anything to wipe with.You are doing a good thing teaching others how to prepare. Keep up the good work....Misty
@LDSPrepper You wrote: "I am buying a windup watch tomorrow. Do they still make them.?" ebay for clockwork clocks and watches. Be sure to enquire if they work before purchasing, as some are sold solely for their decorative value.
I really enjoy your story telling! Always thought provoking. We have toilet paper well covered and I still continue to purchase in bulk. Some things you just can't do without.
Oh, man.. yes! Baby stuff, for SURE. Not just dipes, wipes, & ointment! But also the types of items that would go in a birthing kit. We LOVE the scenarios, hon. Thank you!!
rather than storing a million rolls of TP and it taking up too much space, I bought kleenex which is the same thing and you can store it flat (if you take it out of the box) and there you have it. Soft too for us girls. It's the little things.
@clarissamck Be careful of how you are using tissues, and that includes TP. Some are biodegradable, some aren't. And some break down quickly, while some take years to. Think of how you are disposing of your waste. Septic tank? Outhouse? Hole in the ground? In a SHTF scenario good luck finding septic guys to come and clear your system. Or dig your hole for a new location for the outhouse.
Also, in regards to TP... Ron Hood suggests using a handkerchief on his treks in place of TP, since its reusable and it doesn't litter up nature. The issue with that of course is cleaning the HKs, for that you just let them hang and dry, which you can basically flake the nastys, then scrub and wash them. Then again the same routine will be used to clean diapers, or whatever you set up for feminine items.
Nice things to think about video, the list can be large when you actually think about it, then you need to think about need;s and want;s and plan. Take care and thanks.
"Seven Samurai" comes to mind... defend your goods or you won't make it for very long, especially during the winter when you have to rely on stored and canned food. I definitely wouldn't want to deal with this falsely appointed mayor in his turf, so I'd be extremely careful with communicating with him. Set up a meeting in a neutral area, preferably where YOU have the advantage with sniping and defensive positions. Hopefully you won't have to hire outside help (samurai) to defend the community.
You have to neutralize this Mayor and his motorcycle gang now while you still can. If you don't nip it in the bud, they will slowly gain more economic power and clot and more power over the people. Eventually these people will evolve into a total dictatorship, and they will take 50 % of your goods in time. This scenario has played out over and over throughout history. You have to nip this problem in the bud while they are still some what unorganized.
@johnny102marvin I can't help but laugh as I read you rpost because it sounds just like what happening here! No offense to you just funny to see the correlation! :-)
Now that I understand the involvement of the motorcycle gang in this "local government", I have changed my mind on dealing with them. If you go to negotiate, you will be demonstrating your opposition and will be a prime target for murder - "to show people who's boss". If you let them be and go along with their plan to get something for nothing, it will get progressively worse - over time when they will get to know your vulnerabilities. Combine with trusted neighbours - killing them if necessary.
As for time how about wind watches and clocks. As for T/P well I guess when it comes down to it you can wipe with about anything you don't mind throwing away. I wonder what primatave people use for T/P and ladies needs. I'm just thinking say for a family of 4 how much T/P would one need to last a couple of years. A bunch for sure and when thats gone then what. I just don't think you can always depend on stocking stuff up to get you throu.
Shut the door, it stinks! Haha. Maybe a poison ivy plant in the corner would have outed the culprits! Love the scenarios as it gets me/us thinking about things in a different way.
u have my brain going now..how many peopel will have an old treadle sewing machine.. to make diapers?? my son is 39..pampers were just coming out.. I don't think I ever used more than a dozen on him..my mother made him 4 doz..and I got 2 doz at his baby shower..I know its a scenario vid..but as you say, something to think about, thanks!
necessity is the mother of invention..there's a video on here.."how to make toilet paper" it was originally a discovery channel thing..people make wiritng paper, toilet paper is mostly made from recycled newspaper..if one guy can invent it.. why can't somebody make it at home??? also.. that's gonna be a barter item, but phone books, catalogs, newspaper.. whatever works :)
hey bro great vids,one tip on maxi pad that you probably already know .they make great bandages.soak up 4to8 times their weight inblood.god bless god speed
My but still hurts just thinking about that phone book I bet you can guess what I'm doin right now ;) this is a great series keep it up. Can't wait till the next episode
@stealinator - You wrote: "this is for the ladies, wrol stuff>>>watch?v=-ElAkrqGofI" Excellent advice! Patriot Nurse's video is, as usual, strong on substance and she does not pussy-foot around. Men who have any women in their group should watch it too, as men can't just duck-shove responsibility for these matters onto their women. Every time a man goes bargain hunting, to a flea market or barter meeting, he needs to know what his women want and what will suffice as a second or third best.
As for that motorcycle game - looks like feudalism has come to America - tiny factions springing up, jockying for power... And I've heard that if you do your "businesss" the Japanese way, squat, rather than sit down, less cleanup is required....
@100proof4life I've had a Casio G-Shock watch for like 6 years now. Best watch I've ever had! Besides being solar powered they reset their time every night by satellites. Very worth the money you spend on one.
TP is very important, and if you are in the woods Leaf identification is VERY IMPORTANT from personal experience as an 8 year old in the case of mybutt v. poison ivy leaves, mybutt got its butt handed to it, VERY unpleasant experience
You really did give me something to think about. I'm single and unmarried without kids, but stocking up on a few cloth diapers here, and few there would save me from pulling my hair out further down the road. Same with the ladies products (which I've already started stocking up on, along with the reusable kinds.) Your vids are always so informative and interesting to watch. They really keep me motivated. Thanks for everything you do!
nice stereotype of bikers there. hell I would fell safer with a Motorcycle CLUB on the streets as cops than any of the slack jaws wearing a badge right now. Could you not cut towels or other linen into diapers?
@OutlawShooters He said motorcycle GANG, not a biker club, or even bikers in general. Who exactly is he stereotyping? Also, other linens, even towels wouldn't be as absorbent as the material used for cloth diapers. Trust me. You'd have to use layers and layers, which would be hard to keep on an active toddler. They'd also be more abrasive to the skin which would lead to rashes.
@OutlawShooters Just like not all bikers are motorcycle riding scum , not all cops are " slack jaws ". Think about it a bit. You didnt like being put in a bracket and classified. If you are a good guy I will come to your aid any day biker or not and affiliated or not. I was a cop for 19 years and I didnt get the job or advance by being a pansy.
now i see who is the brains behind the operation.......your wife !! clearly she is the smart one...... hahaha Great job buddy !!! if you bought tactical toilet paper you would not have run out !!!
I know its expensive but a Citizen Eco Drive watch doesnt use battries and all you gotta do is make sure the date is correct...it uses the motion of your hand to charge itself kinda like those shake flashlights but better....best watch ever
excellent!!! Learned a lot!!!! Thanks!!!!!

lol When I was in Cuba, most of the time we used the news paper. Whenever we had toilet paper, it was like "party time" The bad thing about the new paper is the ink lol. We had no phone book or any other magazine in Cuba. It was only the new paper or paper bags from the store lol. Its Great to have toilet paper. GOD Bless America.

Nice job, SouthernPrepper1. Time to get an Automatic, Eco-Drive, Kinetic, or Spring Drive watch. I hear the Automatics are even resistant to EMP's.

When I was a kid they used the Sears Roebuck catalog in the outhouse. It was the size of the phone books today, and was made from a nice, soft newsprint at the time.
And I love my Seiko wind-up wrist watch, it has big numbers that I can read, and a second hand, too. Have had it since 1977. Its not a fancy one that tells the day or date, just a simple watch. I'll bet there are still some nice windups at watch repair shops.

We kept a sear's catalog in the outhouse. Do they still print a sear's catalog? There was also a few corn cobs (dark coarse horse corn cobs and fine "checker" white corn cobs) with instructions. Everybody always opted for the tp.

When in short supply you can take a sheet of TP and put it over a sheet of newspaper. Having a big stack of old newspapers might come in handy too. It's great for gardening as well.

I see you are carrying in the crapper. Good idea. But where do you put it when you have to go "poopy" ( I have young children)? Been carrying for 16 years. Always wanted to have a safe place to store my handgun while going (my outer belt has to come off anyway because of weight). Anyway, consider building a shelf or something designed to secure a handgun while allowing quick/fast access. You just never know when you'ill have to defend yourself with your pants down.
BTW, form your own gov't.

rather than storing a million rolls of TP and it taking up too much space, I bought kleenex which is the same thing and you can store it flat (if you take it out of the box) and there you have it. Soft too for us girls. It's the little things.
clarissamck 10 months ago
@clarissamck Be careful of how you are using tissues, and that includes TP. Some are biodegradable, some aren't. And some break down quickly, while some take years to. Think of how you are disposing of your waste. Septic tank? Outhouse? Hole in the ground? In a SHTF scenario good luck finding septic guys to come and clear your system. Or dig your hole for a new location for the outhouse.

Also, in regards to TP... Ron Hood suggests using a handkerchief on his treks in place of TP, since its reusable and it doesn't litter up nature. The issue with that of course is cleaning the HKs, for that you just let them hang and dry, which you can basically flake the nastys, then scrub and wash them. Then again the same routine will be used to clean diapers, or whatever you set up for feminine items.

"Seven Samurai" comes to mind... defend your goods or you won't make it for very long, especially during the winter when you have to rely on stored and canned food. I definitely wouldn't want to deal with this falsely appointed mayor in his turf, so I'd be extremely careful with communicating with him. Set up a meeting in a neutral area, preferably where YOU have the advantage with sniping and defensive positions. Hopefully you won't have to hire outside help (samurai) to defend the community.

Get your lawyers, Smith and Wesson, to sent some artfully phrased messages to the self-appointed "government."
jwwm2 10 months ago
You have to neutralize this Mayor and his motorcycle gang now while you still can. If you don't nip it in the bud, they will slowly gain more economic power and clot and more power over the people. Eventually these people will evolve into a total dictatorship, and they will take 50 % of your goods in time. This scenario has played out over and over throughout history. You have to nip this problem in the bud while they are still some what unorganized.

clarissamck 10 months ago
Now that I understand the involvement of the motorcycle gang in this "local government", I have changed my mind on dealing with them. If you go to negotiate, you will be demonstrating your opposition and will be a prime target for murder - "to show people who's boss". If you let them be and go along with their plan to get something for nothing, it will get progressively worse - over time when they will get to know your vulnerabilities. Combine with trusted neighbours - killing them if necessary.

As for time how about wind watches and clocks. As for T/P well I guess when it comes down to it you can wipe with about anything you don't mind throwing away. I wonder what primatave people use for T/P and ladies needs. I'm just thinking say for a family of 4 how much T/P would one need to last a couple of years. A bunch for sure and when thats gone then what. I just don't think you can always depend on stocking stuff up to get you throu.

Men who have any women in their group should watch it too, as men can't just duck-shove responsibility for these matters onto their women. Every time a man goes bargain hunting, to a flea market or barter meeting, he needs to know what his women want and what will suffice as a second or third best.

nice stereotype of bikers there. hell I would fell safer with a Motorcycle CLUB on the streets as cops than any of the slack jaws wearing a badge right now. Could you not cut towels or other linen into diapers?
..Just a thought
OutlawShooters 10 months ago
@OutlawShooters He said motorcycle GANG, not a biker club, or even bikers in general. Who exactly is he stereotyping? Also, other linens, even towels wouldn't be as absorbent as the material used for cloth diapers. Trust me. You'd have to use layers and layers, which would be hard to keep on an active toddler. They'd also be more abrasive to the skin which would lead to rashes.

@OutlawShooters Just like not all bikers are motorcycle riding scum , not all cops are " slack jaws ". Think about it a bit. You didnt like being put in a bracket and classified.
