DUDE!!! Where did you get that case of N-95 masks? I can't find a place to buy a big case like that! Only small cases and it probably is costing me more!

rooftopeagle - there are resellers on my forum that can get you just about anything. Go to the survivalistboards forum, scroll about half way down to page and look for the survival gear and equipment section.

Antibacterial soap is a big reason as to why we have antibiotic resistant bacteria. Simple soap and water do the trick.

How about doing a video for people who have lost their jobs and have no money. Or are we just screwed????

[planelovingbastard]

keep in mind, as an infectious disease spreads, you will have less and less access to anti-biotics, luckily, many common plants can literally be used to prevent infection. for example: purple coneflower is a weed that grows all over the country, regularly ingesting its leaves has been proven to significantly strengthen the immune system. You cant ALWAYS rely on pharmaceuticals. but a high enough dose of cone flower leaf, can really increase your ability to resist infection and gain immunity.

just remember hand sanitizes is only good for five hand cleansing, the only way is the thorough hand washing, well, according to CDC, outstanding video, also in a survival situation, there are other considerations, besides influenza, would there not be contamination of water supply, cholera, if one has to deal with droplet exposure, isolation has to practiced,

N 95 masks will not help in a viral plague. A virus is one of the smallest organisms in existence.

The only sure bet in the wake of a epidemic is long term isolation, or having a superior immune system.

You are alive today because one of your ancestors developed immunity to some of the nastiest of the nastiness when it comes to disease.

If you want to make sure to kill anything on your hands, pure rubbing alcohol is the only way to go, it actually lifts possible infected body oil.

@quint150 Yes, you are screwed. In an emergency the unproductive members of society will die off first.

My suggestion is to make yourself more useful to other people. Volunteer at your church, or the hospital/police/firefighter station, or in a youth program in your area. They when the SHTF you will have lots of friends and useful skills, people will need you, so they will protect you and share with you.

I recommend a russian GP5 gasmask, its cheap & it covers all the things around your face. I have a stockpile of 10 at least & a number of other more modern gasmasks, more expensive but even better.

All credit to Kevin! He teaches us to survive!

@utw888 It's the people who freak about the vaccinations that create the spread of the disease. I know you won't believe me because there is a fringe that simple is paranoid, but at least consider that a bunch of MDs - who have studied for years - know more about this than you. The CDC does one helluva good job.

[mrmonkeyman50]

There is so much (unintentional) misinformation in this video, it's hard to know where to start. Viruses aren't bacteria, air borne disease is different than blood borne.  And some of your "remedies" aren't effective at all (except for a placebo effect). I would honestly like to come here and see things that you really know about: prepping fish correctly, tips about gear, how to make a good TX BBQ. :o) These things are important and I know you have real knowledge of them!

Triclosan, the main ingredient used in antibacterial soaps, has been found to kill not only bacteria, but also human cells.
