I assume your home is a fortress . Heavy Gates, thick concrete walls, concrete barracades, heavy duty fences, cameras, electric barb wire and a deep moat with aligators. If your home has nothing like the items mentioned above then a mob will be enough to overrun your house and ransack your house, kill your family and you. You can only have so much ammonition, the mob will have ammonition too.
@TheLordHumungus My point is that you may be stacking for someone else. The video that you just posted is showing your face, it's a dangerous signal to others saying "I am here I got provisions at my place if you see me down the street follow me, come and get my food when the SHTF" Keeping a low profile is key for survival. You do what you want but I would not be displaying my face or home to the world.
water/food/guns/ammo 4 most important you can survive without the rest its just a convenience to have gloves shoes socks and stuff like that its a luxury not a necessity
For mothers with young children (like me) fabric!!!!! You can get some on sale 75% off after almost any holiday! And Sewing needles and thread! I couldn't stockpile the many years (please God) of clothing I'll need for little ones =)
Also, if you can afford it, get the food items that are in the 5 gallon grab and go buckets, That way if you have to vacate your property quickly, at least you can grab the food supply that you can take with you. God bless all of you preppers and let's hope we can stay alive when the shtf.
I like the idea of your plastic storage bins, We live in a double wide and I also believe in getting items that can be traded. We just bought a bunch of knives from a knife store . Anything like what you said, soap, toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo, deoderant, extra food.. ( always a good trade item ). Clothing too. Thanks for the video ! OH ALSO>> seeds !! Currently a packet of seeds in my area is $2.50. Stock them up for yourself.. assuming you have land to plant on,, a great trade item.
I recommend MP3 players and hand crank chargers. MP3's vary in price based on size. But the had crank USB size chargers are cheap, like $3.
You can load tons of music for entertainment OR educational videos like skinning a rabbit or chicken. In a hyperinflation situation, they will be too expensive or NOT imported at all.
also get a "mechanical" wind-up watch. You won't be finding too many button cell batteries after TSHF. People will still need to coordinate their time....like "meet back here in 3 hours etc"
Don't forget the basic needs of life, LOTS of toliet paper, tissues and for the women, Tampons. Another good item is baking soda and salt, hydrogen Proxide and more then just a basic first aid kit. Each member of the family needs to take courses now in first aid and hopefully, someone will know how to suture a wound.
@nhralph You can buy a suture kit and start practicing on an apple. Sometimes even with big wounds don't need sutures. I cut my hand open 1-1/4" b/t the thumb and index finger 2yrs ago and never went to the er or doc. I treated myself with natural medicine and only have one tiny scare. Learn wild plants for toilet paper, hygiene products and salt. You can use rags for toilet paper, wash and reuse. Don't throw old clothes away you can use them for bandages or slings just to name a few.
@MrsNewAmericaNow That's true, sometimes a butterfly bandage will work if the wound isn't too deep. Just that too many people think of only food and ammo and forget the necessities of life. The biggest item you will need is a good and knowledgeable mind
@nhralph In truth I guess it wasn't deep but you could see the muscles of the hand and a few were cut. Didn't use any butterfly bandages just a gauze wrap. I still have full range of motion. I believe it was the way I treated my hand that helped me retain full motion. Lots of things we do around here I believe is "common sense" but common sense is not common. When we did our radio show 2yrs ago, We always said getting your mind right and learning old skills is a top priority.
@MrsNewAmericaNow That is why I mentioned earlier to learn how to suture. Cuts can happen in the best of times but during a collapse, it can be life-threatening. btw, nice channel you have.
nice vid but i would (am) stock piling guns, ammo, food, and more ammo.
clothing is NOT hard to make... ask a real native American. yeah, gloves and shoes are a necessity but when you have fire power... you got leverage. when shtf... gold, money, and oil will be trumped by ammo, seeds, and water. keep prepping brother.
Even if you dont consider making clothes hard, you have to consider the time. How long does it take to make a single garment out of animal skins or to weave it?
While you can get a tshirt for .25 at a yard sale, and many times for FREE. same with most other clothes.
correct sir... right now we have luxuries. consume and buy, the American way!
my recommendation is grow hemp. Hemp was the ultimate plant. it clothed man-kind for thousands of years, provided fuel and plastics for the first car (model T), and even helped our founding fathers create The United States of America.
and yes it does take time... but that why there are women. NO BS.
dont mean to offend any women out here but I would risk my life over any of my fam..
@SICKFRESH619 Nettle hemp is also used for clothing. However, if you don't know how to process the plant for weaving what good is it? You have to harvest the plant, dry it, process it, spin it and weave it. Do you have a spinner or loom?
@MrsNewAmericaNow like I said before... yes it does take time and man-power to process the plant to the final product, but thats why the women stay back in a safe place and tend to such things. necessity is the mother of invention... even if you didnt know how to make hemp clothes or products, you will. and yes, I do know how to weave hemp fibers. do the research and find the facts... we can all be the Johnny apple seeds of the world. keep prepin! killuminati all day...
@TheLordHumungus As someone who has made native clothing, you are correct! People don't realize how long the process is unless they have done it, he hasn't. It's not hard but time consuming. For gloves just trace your hand and add a 1/4 for sowing room or make mittens. Break in your boots now. What you don't know learn now you will need those skills! Learn how to compost waste most diseases are caused by poor hygiene. Cheap processed food will only cause you to be more hungry.
another option for socks, mittens and such would be to learn to knit or hook up with someone who already knows how to make them. even better, learn to spin, so you'll have access to yarn
i agree with alot of what your saying socks gloves shoes ..but how are you planning to carry all that stuff totes and all that ?you cant stay home with it ..maybe for awhile but they'll be kicking in your door soon enuff ..and there wont be gas at all or roads without you know who on it with their check points..when shtf ..just wondering?
Don't discredit your own overstocking of Toothbrushes. You can always TRADE them for something you don't have. Women's products are especially valuable. Who do you think has 10 years worth of tampons stored up? NO ONE! 30 days after the crash, half of the population is going to be ready to kill for a tampon. They'll be worth their weight in GOLD! Even if you're not a woman, stock up on tampons .. they're better than cash.
@MrsNewAmericaNow I'm sure that's true ... but how many women are aware of that or are ready to make that leap? Most would much rather have the old dependable tampon.
@HumbleWillis Like everything unless it can be replaced it will run out. Getting your mind right and learning old skills is a priority. How many people can name 5 wild edibles in their front yard? With food/gas prices on the rise people will be starving unless they know what to do. A tampon will not be as important as medicine for a UTI or tooth infection. People use to die of the simplest things before fast acting antibiotics. Rags have been used for many reasons in the past.
@MrsNewAmericaNow I'm not arguing against your points. They are entirely valid. But what's also valid is that until my stockpile of tampons runs out, I WILL be able trade them at a high value. Once they run out, then my "customers" will move to another product. Most likely the stock of reusable menstrual cups I also plan to keep to sell once the tampons run out.
@HumbleWillis Making your own tampons or pads and not trading your valuable goods for convince is much smarter. Go Free Market! I wouldn't make a good customer ; )
@MrsNewAmericaNow And that's great advice and all ... but realistically less than 1% of the population has any sort of preparedness mentality. It would be smarter to do what you say ... but MOST people aren't going to do it anyway ... which is why it will be easy to capitalize on their lack of preparedness.
@HumbleWillis Necessity is the mother of invention. The more you barter the more people know you have a stock pile. When the wrong people learn of this, I hope you are prepared for it. I would rather teach people to make "things" than to let everyone know I have a stock pile. Even the US gov states only 1 in 10 will survive if this happens, I believe it's when not if. Will customers really be that important? Community will become important again.
@MrsNewAmericaNow Will I be prepared? Well, that's what I'm working on. I've got the guns and the skill to use them well. I think at the point the question is: will people think it's a better idea to trade goods and services, or bullets for the tampons. My guess is they'll probably go for goods and services.
@HumbleWillis Have you watched surviving 2012 on youtube? It will not be like the movies. One man against many is not good odds. Do you have any strobe cree's? It levels the odds. Again if only 1 out of 10 survive how strong will your client base be? If this happens globally at the same time...3meals away from riots, mass die off from looters, ppl w/ 1wk of food start to riot after 3missed meals, decaying bodies pollute the water, disease sets in, poor hygiene causes more death.
@MrsNewAmericaNow After a few months you should be left with the hardy survivors and looters. Hopefully, no looters but the odds are some will make it. The easier the environment the more people will flee to those areas. Harsh environments will keep out the lazy and weak minded after a collapse.
If the shtf and people start dying like crazy I am thinking you can scavenge these fairly easily. Its gonna be more of a protect your neck type situation imo so health is probably most important.
How are you going to wash your clothes? After a couple years, how will you heat your house? What will you eat when your food supply runs out? How will you store food after you figure out where it's going to come from? I believe most preppers will live, on average, 1-2 years longer than non-preppers, unless they prepare for these questions and many more.
@marieatthelake grow sugar beets, peanuts and wheat, then you will have these foods to resupply your stores. Queen Ann's Lace seeds have been used as a salt sub, you can also grow black pepper or use a wild weed to replace black pepper.
just a smal tip... maby some nice seeds for some vegetables... grow your own food is my main thing... you can always trade with some nabor or something but you can get alot of food from just 1 tiny seed... save some from the food you buy and its free... nice video thow...
We might find that there's no clean fresh water. We don't need to drink water if there's plenty of fruit - tinned fruit or bottled liquid of any kind - even alcohol is ok. I'm worried about human waste. It's all very well having a thousand rolls of toilet paper but we'll need a 'place to go'. Maybe washable rags would be needed. Back to the old 'bumboclaats' :D (Also a whole bunch of Q-Tips and toothpicks... packs of shoelaces... small things can can have many uses)
As for the who container replacement problem, its called pottery. Man kind started it back in 15th century BC, and it is not that complex, but still buying plastic container would be way easier.
In a SHTF satiation with all your supplies you may find yourself needing a can-opener. If the SHTF lasted for more than a few months you will find yourself needing a item that is very hard to make and very time consuming to make, a simple knife. The government suggest that we all have a 3 month supply. I do not know anyone that dose. You may have to keep your supply in a secure location or be able to secure it with a gun. When your supply runs out, you may need to know how to hunt and trap.
Useful items for sure. Critical...not too sure. You could trade toothbrush for socks. Never hurts to have trade goods. One person cant collect all of lifes necessities...Many people combining resources have a better chance of survival...Think GROUPS, stop thinking like individuals, your odds of survival go way down. A group will survive and many groups will actually be comfortable!! You need others for security and sanity.Try being alone for a month.truly ALONE and you will be a believer!!
Really good vid! Remember places like flea markets and used clothes (salvation army/goodwill)stores for really cheap heavy clothes, boots,and almost new sneakers at a fraction of new cost. Especially to trade.Also, if growing kids ,throw graduated sizes in a tote and store in back corner somewhere. You are so practical! LOVED IT !!!
Fuck! Listening to Alex Jones and he is saying they are planning on taxing and regulating to death WELLS. New Jersey has passed a bill trying to ban all handgun ammo, including BBs and airsoft. Rediculous. Gotta slow down on listening to him. Stresses me out too much. Oh well. Keep on preppin. Good vid. I too have good boots and well balanced preps.
One thing I thought about this morning was an old fashioned straight razor. It can be sharpened and will last forever. You could order many of them for barter. Also, scissors for cutting hair, or use the razor for shaving heads. A rechargable pair of clippers with a solar recharging set. You could barter cutting hair. Just a thought. Also, toiletries are available at the dollar store. Good for barter.
I thought about trying to make the switch to a straight razor. It would probably be a better 'shtf' option, but I already have enough regular safety razors stocked that I don't need to also buy that. It isn't a bad idea. I have a feeling I would slice myself to ribbons though.
Straight razors are intimidating. May look on eBay for older safety razors, they are a good option and many of the older ones have lifetime blades that you take care of like you do a straight razor. Check out one made by Rolls out of England. They are pretty cool. They even come in a self contained kit with strop and sharpening stone.
@TheLordHumungus its not that bad I just made that switch about two weeks ago. first shave was like giving blood but the last one was very smooth and it lasted about 5 days. If you want to try it go to a art of shaving store and the can set you up nice. I bought the cheap $50 one with the replaceable inserts just incase I sucked at it but I'm gonna go back and get a real strait razor now that I know what I'm doing.
@gentlegiant6585 I keep 3 of them and for similar reasons .. however they also make a reasonable field med kit scalpel. Not a happy thought but. chances are the ER's will be closed.
Don't forget the pets. Also: In the event of a total social collapse, visit a veterinariary clinic. There you should be able to find antibiotics and pain killers.
Great video. Make sure you also have a good water purification system. I recommend the Berkey Water Filter. Also, to change it up, get some water flavorings such as Crystal Light Tea, Lemon Aid, etc. Make sure you also have enough weapons and ammo, as well as some bartering stuff like cigarettes, alcohol and toilet paper... lots of toilet paper. You will need to add some underwear to your stock pile. And, like LonelyWolf said, books... such as "Patriots" & "One Second After".. MUST READS! :-)
@TheLordHumungus you should also try to gather items that would potentially boost your morale. Things like shampoos, lotions, and a solar shower would all be helpful. Also, there is nothing like opening up a nice, fresh, name-brand food after eating nothing but generic for a long time. Finally, maybe a nice book or two. These are not necessary, but are just handy and generally cheap to get.
"shitty handknit socks"? You don't know what quality is. If you wore a pair of handknit wool socks for even one minute of your life you'd know they are not only much more comfortable shape-wise but also wool is a lot foot-friendlier than synthetic because it doesn't make your feet stink, allows perspiration to escape and keeps the warmth in even when wet. You'll never get such quality from a store. Life is rosier with happy feet.
Skills. Learning how to craft items, sewing for repairs, knitting and crocheting for clothing, canning, carpentry and woodcraft, even some mechanical repair knowledge. Learn what types of wild plants, for medicine and food, that are in your area or in the area where you plan to go. Also the types of animals that are in your area. Learn how to make natural hygiene items; soap, toothpaste and deodorants. Learn how to make simple meals with 2-3 items that you have stocked or can gather wild.
So you make sure you're well clothed all the way up until the point you're starving to death because you ran out of food? Seriously? You're an idiot just like 95% of the people posting these SHTF vids. You can find and improvise ways to protect your body from the elements about 100 times easier than you can find food in just about any SHTF scenario. Do NOT listen to this idiot. Plastic buckets? Foot lockers? Wow.
a mountain bike outfitted with water tanks,fat tires,green tarp,oats,Dr scholls inserts for those wallmart shoes or worn out thrift nikes cuz theres gonna be a helluvalot a walkin once u ditch the vehicle,too much to list -but cant leave out the concealed 45
Glad to see you have mentioned GOOD boots. Most people forget them. Warm clothes- we all have Carhart Coveralls, good gloves, & Danner "Go Devil" combat boots. And yes- salt is CHEAP- and essential! It has so many uses. Good Luck!
salt lots and lots of salt. people never cover salt or have enough if it gets down to you having to preserve your own foods you will need lots of salt. assuming your in a place where you dont plan to have to bug out the minute SHTF
Hey Guy as far as footwear all I got is 15 pair or combat boots.Got them at the Military surplus store for a "bulk buy" of $40 bucks,$ 2.66 a pair,used but great shape.Did not think of or have purchased any socks or black athletic shoes.Whats the best store I could find these at?Good shoes and socks at a great price! I guess no way I can find athletic shoes at $ 2.66 a pair.[Thrift Stores?]
Sorry to be such a space hog, but you can also learn all you need to know about survival tools by spending some time backpacking. You will learn what is needed and what is not. Backpacking is much better than just camping because you will to learn how to adjust to the enviroment, not change the enviroment to mimic your lifestyle at home.
I think it would be better to store materials and tools to take advantage of found items and natural raw resources. You CAN make your own shoes and gloves if you have access to materials and hardware to use in puting the materials together. All kinds of hand tools for building and farming. Cord and cloth for making clothing, bags, shelters, rope, and many other useful items. There will be a great deal of junk thrown away because people are used to having things premade and prepackaged.
This is all great advise but what are you gonna do when a hungry mob kicks in your door and robs you blind. Just wondering? Or what about if a hurricane or tornado blows your house over? Fire? You better start learning how store things underground where only you know it's location. That's what a real SHTF survivor would do. Good luck in your prepping.
all good points to prepare for. i especially like the few comments thinking we so called "preppers" are crazy. And what will you do if and when something happens? Rely on your neighbor? Beg from others?....Take responsibility for yourself and don't mock those who are sensible. Anything can happen...electricity could go...which means, no food deliveries or a place to buy. No fuel...Those two things said alone are a real possibility set aside from an apocolypse or a huge natural disaster.
@largesatsuma think twice , about waiting in line with the desperate to get food from a church or the "goverment" think twice, when the bird flu spreads and the only way to avoid it is to stay in the house away from the sick, then you will see who the "freaks" are
you had some good points, so many people are trying to save money. I can't figure out why, a dollar bill will soon be worth less than a tissue. turn your money into things you will need after the government destroys our way of life
There is one advantage of owning a Diesel truck. I can run mine off of waste motor oil & transmission oil. When gasoline & Diesel run out the highways & roads will be littered with cars, all I have to do is run a rubber tube into an abandoned cars transmission or oil tube then with a hand pump suck it out. Paper towels are sufficient pre filters and I can just keep on trucking when everybody else is dead in the water.
Great Video! I would never have thought of some of the things you had mentioned to buy. They are definitely on my "needs" list now. I am truly glad I stumbled across your video. Thanks again.
This is the great thing about YouTube. I never thought about this stuff. My local walmart has shoes for $10 a pair. Going to pick up 5-6 pair today and put them in a plastic tote along with a couple bags of socks and a few pair of work gloves. For under $100 I will be set.
Some interesting points...I started prepping about six months ago and have a fair supply of food, etc. but you made me think of a few things that hadn't previously crossed my mind.
Hey, yur on to something here, howEVER, you need to address the following: I. I'm hungry and the electric and gas are off. How do I heat up my water for my oatmeal? What do I heat it up on? A campfire? How about - Hey it's getting dark! I don't like sitting in the dark. Now what? And, got any Coleman lanterns or better yet....FUEL for it? Candles? MATCHES and LIGHTERS in airtight glass jars. ASPIRIN !! Or TYLENOL. Yur gonna have a headache I bet. JACK DANIELS ! And BARTERING STUFF
@TheLordHumungus Hmm...Some reason, I believe you have thought of this! :) Ok, how's this. During war, people want "comfort" foods. CHOCOLATE. Nothing fancy. Just chocolate. TOILET PAPER is a HUGE bartering item. People get tired of newspaper, it hurts after awhile. GUM ! COFFEE, people busy stocking up on Flour and oats, and they forget AAA batteries, and some sort of radio system. A solar powered chrgr for ANYTHING is worth gold. A GUN. A means of getting somewhere barring a car.
Since you can't make anything yourself we ALL know you are useless. You will just be killed for your useful items...... only in the event of the Apocalypse of course. :)
A lot of neat stuff but it's gonna rough trying to get all that in a bug out bag. No ,really it was a lot of good info. I can make alot of the things you mentioned in a pinch [But] it's so much easier to have these time consuming products already tucked away. Thanks
sorry, left some out. you can get clothes and even shoes from goodwill. They're cheap and depending on weather where u are..im not so lucky but begin prepping in a basement if you have one. army meals are self heating but u will need water!. if u r lucky enuff to have a tornado shelter..i have no idea whats going to happen, but im making my list. blankets, small pillows cuz they saved my life in a twister once. everything isnt going to fit. so go thru a day and look at what u really use/NEED.
..i hope i'm wrong but the thing i would do now is make sure i have a shelter..one that can with stand weather, its heated..maybe begin to store these items underground. make sure for all u pet lovers that your animals are safe and fed as well. spam is ok but not for a long haul. u can go to the army surplus store and get army rashons..i gaurantee ppl are already racking up on that. i do think this is out of hand but..um one more thing..if you are a diebetic..meds..stock up some how. k bye
one thing ive been doing is printing a ridiculous amount of tutorials of things i might have to do but dont have time to learn right now i mean anything from making fire making generators things like that anthing i think of i just print it and i have them all in a binder just a precaution
@500deegrez I suggest you get to learnin now, otherwise someone might just off you and take your tutorials. Only in the event of an Apocalypse of course. :)
@titan13131 Yeah, imagine bartering with the likes or The Lord Humungus. You know whatever you do he's going to rape and kill you. Good luck bartering. The best thing to stockpile will be "good" people, people who have morals and truly care about other human life. Because there's strength in numbers and the lord humunguses of the world will be ganging up that's for sure.
yea man you got it down to i just started to supply mine tyin to decide real needs from not really needed you made the video funny to on a serious topic.
Some good points. I loved the 9,999 cans of generic spam humor, bravo. Too many preparers take themselves too seriously and don't put enough thinking into the plan before execution. I blogged with one guy the other day that had produced a video showing all his equipment and food stores, and he didn't realize that anyone could track his video ID back to his location and take every thing he owned. He actually seemed quite surprised that it was possible. Naivety is bliss.
@TheLordHumungus So what's your story? What got you into prepping and what compelled you to make YouTube videos about it?
Also, I'm thinking about starting my own channel along these lines. I was thinking my niche would be "come along with me as I learn new skills and information" thing for my fellow newbies. My audience grows and learns as I grow and learn. Should make me more accessible and relatable. What say you?
SOME GOOD ADVICE,AND AS YOU SAY,EVEN IF YOU MAKE THE ITEMS,TIME IS A RARE COMMODITY.I THINK THOUGH BASIC REPAIR/STITCHING OF CLOTHES IS A MUST,AND WILL MAKE THE ITEM LAST LONGER IN BUG OUT SITUATION-WITH NO TIME SCALE WHEN IT`LL END.AND LASTLY,STOCK UP ON TOALS AND SLEEPING BAGS/BLANKETS..ONLINE,THEY ARE ALSO CHEAP.GREAT VID BUD,KEEP UP GOOD WORK AND TAKE ON BOARD WHAT I HAVE SAID.
light,fast,and stealthy.keep moving with bare essentials.don't allow anyone to profile or predict your movements.don't talk to strangers except for hi and bye.don't carry plastic debit or credit cards,license,i.d.(unless wrapped in tin foil) or products with SKU scan bar,these can be swiped by satellites and aircraft.observe movement around you and make mental notes always gathering info and stash items that can benefit you.stay away from sick people.rest,eat healthy,stay alert,keep moving.
all i can say is, learn a useful skill, like making moonshine, hunting animals, or even knitting, then pursue it, and then you could use it for trade to replace whatever you need in your inventory.
@TheLordHumungus ..oooohh ! you nailed that one dead on ! they do what they want regardless of the laws they made... sick governments in a sick world ...
the most important thing that is cheap and available now is knowledge and skill. don't wait until you are sitting in a pile of snow with no shelter or food to try and figure out how to get those things. Start learning and practising those things now. The third thing you will need is people. Start now to find you kind of people and build a community. without people you won't last long and surviving won't be worth it anyway.
Americans are not taught to think. If you do your homework as to the WHY's of what's going on -- you see that a SUBSET of the world's Jewish population DOES in fact operate as a global mafia that collapses and loots countries, one after another. They control America through a shadow government. They DID do 911 to kick all this off:
Google: Wikispooks 911
If you let the Jews collapse America, they'll import UN(Chinese) "peacekeepers" & prepping won't save you.
Careful about the clothing you stockpile. Elastic hardens over time becomeing useless so avoid that unless you have some basic sewing skills. Crappy manmade non leather shoes dry up and fall apart quicker as well.
Im in southern California so I stockpile Botox for barter. Love the vids! 1 thing I would add is that you usually get what you pay for when it comes to clothing items. Work grade stuff like Carhartt, Redwing, and Dickies might cost a bit more but last 4 times as long in my experience.
I assume your home is a fortress . Heavy Gates, thick concrete walls, concrete barracades, heavy duty fences, cameras, electric barb wire and a deep moat with aligators. If your home has nothing like the items mentioned above then a mob will be enough to overrun your house and ransack your house, kill your family and you. You can only have so much ammonition, the mob will have ammonition too.

I like the idea of your plastic storage bins, We live in a double wide and I also believe in getting items that can be traded. We just bought a bunch of knives from a knife store . Anything like what you said, soap, toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo, deoderant, extra food.. ( always a good trade item ). Clothing too. Thanks for the video ! OH ALSO>> seeds !! Currently a packet of seeds in my area is $2.50. Stock them up for yourself.. assuming you have land to plant on,, a great trade item.

You can load tons of music for entertainment OR educational videos like skinning a rabbit or chicken. In a hyperinflation situation, they will be too expensive or NOT imported at all.

Don't forget the basic needs of life, LOTS of toliet paper, tissues and for the women, Tampons. Another good item is baking soda and salt, hydrogen Proxide and more then just a basic first aid kit. Each member of the family needs to take courses now in first aid and hopefully, someone will know how to suture a wound.
nhralph 1 week ago
@nhralph You can buy a suture kit and start practicing on an apple. Sometimes even with big wounds don't need sutures. I cut my hand open 1-1/4" b/t the thumb and index finger 2yrs ago and never went to the er or doc. I treated myself with natural medicine and only have one tiny scare. Learn wild plants for toilet paper, hygiene products and salt. You can use rags for toilet paper, wash and reuse. Don't throw old clothes away you can use them for bandages or slings just to name a few.

@MrsNewAmericaNow That's true, sometimes a butterfly bandage will work if the wound isn't too deep. Just that too many people think of only food and ammo and forget the necessities of life. The biggest item you will need is a good and knowledgeable mind
nhralph 6 days ago
@nhralph In truth I guess it wasn't deep but you could see the muscles of the hand and a few were cut. Didn't use any butterfly bandages just a gauze wrap. I still have full range of motion. I believe it was the way I treated my hand that helped me retain full motion. Lots of things we do around here I believe is "common sense" but common sense is not common. When we did our radio show 2yrs ago, We always said getting your mind right and learning old skills is a top priority.

@MrsNewAmericaNow That is why I mentioned earlier to learn how to suture. Cuts can happen in the best of times but during a collapse, it can be life-threatening. btw, nice channel you have.

@SICKFRESH619
Even if you dont consider making clothes hard, you have to consider the time. How long does it take to make a single garment out of animal skins or to weave it?
While you can get a tshirt for .25 at a yard sale, and many times for FREE. same with most other clothes.

@TheLordHumungus
correct sir... right now we have luxuries. consume and buy, the American way!
my recommendation is grow hemp. Hemp was the ultimate plant. it clothed man-kind for thousands of years, provided fuel and plastics for the first car (model T), and even helped our founding fathers create The United States of America.
and yes it does take time... but that why there are women. NO BS.
dont mean to offend any women out here but I would risk my life over any of my fam..
SICKFRESH619 1 week ago
@SICKFRESH619 Nettle hemp is also used for clothing. However, if you don't know how to process the plant for weaving what good is it? You have to harvest the plant, dry it, process it, spin it and weave it. Do you have a spinner or loom?
MrsNewAmericaNow 1 week ago
@MrsNewAmericaNow like I said before... yes it does take time and man-power to process the plant to the final product, but thats why the women stay back in a safe place and tend to such things. necessity is the mother of invention... even if you didnt know how to make hemp clothes or products, you will. and yes, I do know how to weave hemp fibers. do the research and find the facts... we can all be the Johnny apple seeds of the world. keep prepin! killuminati all day...
SICKFRESH619 2 days ago
@TheLordHumungus As someone who has made native clothing, you are correct! People don't realize how long the process is unless they have done it, he hasn't. It's not hard but time consuming. For gloves just trace your hand and add a 1/4 for sowing room or make mittens. Break in your boots now. What you don't know learn now you will need those skills! Learn how to compost waste most diseases are caused by poor hygiene. Cheap processed food will only cause you to be more hungry.

another option for socks, mittens and such would be to learn to knit or hook up with someone who already knows how to make them. even better, learn to spin, so you'll have access to yarn

Don't discredit your own overstocking of Toothbrushes. You can always TRADE them for something you don't have. Women's products are especially valuable. Who do you think has 10 years worth of tampons stored up? NO ONE! 30 days after the crash, half of the population is going to be ready to kill for a tampon. They'll be worth their weight in GOLD! Even if you're not a woman, stock up on tampons .. they're better than cash.

@HumbleWillis Like everything unless it can be replaced it will run out. Getting your mind right and learning old skills is a priority. How many people can name 5 wild edibles in their front yard? With food/gas prices on the rise people will be starving unless they know what to do. A tampon will not be as important as medicine for a UTI or tooth infection. People use to die of the simplest things before fast acting antibiotics. Rags have been used for many reasons in the past.
MrsNewAmericaNow 1 week ago
@MrsNewAmericaNow I'm not arguing against your points. They are entirely valid. But what's also valid is that until my stockpile of tampons runs out, I WILL be able trade them at a high value. Once they run out, then my "customers" will move to another product. Most likely the stock of reusable menstrual cups I also plan to keep to sell once the tampons run out.
Go capitalism!

@HumbleWillis Necessity is the mother of invention. The more you barter the more people know you have a stock pile. When the wrong people learn of this, I hope you are prepared for it. I would rather teach people to make "things" than to let everyone know I have a stock pile. Even the US gov states only 1 in 10 will survive if this happens, I believe it's when not if.

@MrsNewAmericaNow Will I be prepared? Well, that's what I'm working on. I've got the guns and the skill to use them well.

In a SHTF satiation with all your supplies you may find yourself needing a can-opener.

The government suggest that we all have a 3 month supply. I do not know anyone that dose. You may have to keep your supply in a secure location or be able to secure it with a gun. When your supply runs out, you may need to know how to hunt and trap.

One thing I thought about this morning was an old fashioned straight razor. It can be sharpened and will last forever. You could order many of them for barter. Also, scissors for cutting hair, or use the razor for shaving heads. A rechargable pair of clippers with a solar recharging set. You could barter cutting hair. Just a thought. Also, toiletries are available at the dollar store. Good for barter.

I thought about trying to make the switch to a straight razor. It would probably be a better 'shtf' option, but I already have enough regular safety razors stocked that I don't need to also buy that. It isn't a bad idea. I have a feeling I would slice myself to ribbons though.

@TheLordHumungus
Straight razors are intimidating. May look on eBay for older safety razors, they are a good option and many of the older ones have lifetime blades that you take care of like you do a straight razor. Check out one made by Rolls out of England. They are pretty cool. They even come in a self contained kit with strop and sharpening stone.

@TheLordHumungus its not that bad I just made that switch about two weeks ago. first shave was like giving blood but the last one was very smooth and it lasted about 5 days. If you want to try it go to a art of shaving store and the can set you up nice. I bought the cheap $50 one with the replaceable inserts just incase I sucked at it but I'm gonna go back and get a real strait razor now that I know what I'm doing.

"shitty handknit socks"? You don't know what quality is. If you wore a pair of handknit wool socks for even one minute of your life you'd know they are not only much more comfortable shape-wise but also wool is a lot foot-friendlier than synthetic because it doesn't make your feet stink, allows perspiration to escape and keeps the warmth in even when wet. You'll never get such quality from a store. Life is rosier with happy feet.

Salt is critical to have.
A bicycle or light motorcycle can transport you in stealth, hide easy in a cache or campsite.
A bicycle or light motorcycle allows for mobility, patrol, scouting, so can be valuable. add tools and parts and fuel caches.

He actually seemed quite surprised that it was possible. Naivety is bliss.

Any thing that you may have extras of save and use for Barter and Trade, it will be like using money when we don't have any.

@TheLordHumungus So what's your story? What got you into prepping and what compelled you to make YouTube videos about it?
Also, I'm thinking about starting my own channel along these lines. I was thinking my niche would be "come along with me as I learn new skills and information" thing for my fellow newbies. My audience grows and learns as I grow and learn. Should make me more accessible and relatable. What say you?

light,fast,and stealthy.keep moving with bare essentials.don't allow anyone to profile or predict your movements.don't talk to strangers except for hi and bye.don't carry plastic debit or credit cards,license,i.d.(unless wrapped in tin foil) or products with SKU scan bar,these can be swiped by satellites and aircraft.observe movement around you and make mental notes always gathering info and stash items that can benefit you.stay away from sick people.rest,eat healthy,stay alert,keep moving.

all i can say is, learn a useful skill, like making moonshine, hunting animals, or even knitting, then pursue it, and then you could use it for trade to replace whatever you need in your inventory.

the most important thing that is cheap and available now is knowledge and skill. don't wait until you are sitting in a pile of snow with no shelter or food to try and figure out how to get those things. Start learning and practising those things now. The third thing you will need is people. Start now to find you kind of people and build a community. without people you won't last long and surviving won't be worth it anyway.

Americans are not taught to think. If you do your homework as to the WHY's of what's going on -- you see that a SUBSET of the world's Jewish population DOES in fact operate as a global mafia that collapses and loots countries, one after another. They control America through a shadow government. They DID do 911 to kick all this off:
Google: Wikispooks 911
If you let the Jews collapse America, they'll import UN(Chinese) "peacekeepers" & prepping won't save you.

Careful about the clothing you stockpile. Elastic hardens over time becomeing useless so avoid that unless you have some basic sewing skills. Crappy manmade non leather shoes dry up and fall apart quicker as well.

Im in southern California so I stockpile Botox for barter. Love the vids! 1 thing I would add is that you usually get what you pay for when it comes to clothing items. Work grade stuff like Carhartt, Redwing, and Dickies might cost a bit more but last 4 times as long in my experience.
