I replay wish my husband would believe me about prepping. I feel like my family just laughs at me. But I’m going to keep prepping and not talk about it. Thank you for all of your valuable information!

Toilet paper can be reduced in size to fit in a sandwich baggie. Remove cardboard center, squash flat, insert into baggie and seal! It stays dry and clean.

I offer this for the flashlight dept. As a firefighter (retired) I have seen about every type of flashlight in the fire service. My over all pick would be a 2 or 3 "D" cell mag light but it must have the LED bulb. These lights have enough weight to be used as a weapon, breaking glass. They take a beating and will work under water and wet conditions.

I saw a lady who used Dollar Tree solar lights for the front yard. You put charged ones into glass Mason or gallon jars. It was amazing how much light they gave! You can rotate them with charged ones from outside.

Very few peppers mention baby wipes. They are great to have on hand for a variety of uses. If they get old and dry out, all you have to do is add some water to liven them back up.

Emergency blankets and a small can opener. People always forget about can openers.

RE: TARPS Good advice. FYI BLUE Is the rarest color in nature. Don't hide behind blue tarps!

I’ve been watching a lot of these kinds of videos this morning. I couldn’t make it through most of them because people have a bad habit of rambling on and on! But loved yours because you didn’t do that! I thought of something I started keeping on hand. Waterless bath liquid that you don’t have to rinse off. Along with the shampoo that doesn’t need to be rinsed out. Also, baby wipes can be used to freshen up. I’m a 71 year old lady taking care of my husband who is recovering from open heart surgery and a stroke. He is unable to help with anything. But I think I have a good start with much of what I’ve watched from helpful videos. Oh, one other thing that I haven’t seen mentioned anywhere is pedialyte! It is good for so many things! Store brand is cheaper and works just as well. It’s not just for kids anymore. Anyway, wanted to thank you for your very informative video! Well done! 👍

During power outage bring in your solar lights from the flower bed. Take em back out to recharge during day. Bring em in at night.

I watched the video and was moving on till I heard you say God bless the Republic. So few people realize that we are a a republic. I'm now a subscriber looking forward o your next video.

I have been prepping since 1989, when prepping was called being a survivalist. TP and feminine hygiene products have always been priority. When the TP Shortage of 2020 hit, I was dipping into my 800 roll stash ( 6 people x 1 year) giving rolls to family and close friends as gifts. I love your top 16 and have stocked up almost all of those. Now people realize the need to horde, but don't have a clue how to prep and what to prep. I tell people to prep all your needs for just one week of living per person, than next time you get some spare cash, add a second week. Before you know it, your family can survive 6 months. BTW...Great Job!!

I have not read 7.1k comments so this suggestion may have already been made but large paint stirrers make good splints for broken bones. They can be found at HD or Lowe’s. I think they come in packs of 4. Also, a couple of old towels or something soft for padding between the body and split.

Preppers are the only ones that have been preparing. Respect to them

1. Toilet Paper 2. Ducktape 3. Fire (lighters, matches, fire kit, etc...) 4. Batteries 5. Flashlights 6. Candles 7. Unscented bleach 8. Plastic bags (trash & grocery) 9. Tarps 10. Socks 11. Salt (iodized) 12. Seeds (non-hybrid) 13. Propane 14. Lantern (lamp wicks & lamp oil) 15. Cords (paracord) Medical supplies/First Aid Kit

I used my food saver to vacuum seal/shrink wrap toilet paper for my bob. 3 years later I decided to test that wrinkled mess. I thought it would mush up like paper machete....but it was dernded near perfect! Just a tip to save space and protect a valuable commodity.

Dawn dishwashing liquid. It can be used for cleaning, washing clothes, shampoo. I am amazed how much I use it for and the old house I bought doesn't have a dishwasher yet. I can't live without Dawn and buy tons of scrubbie sponges.

I agree flashlights are the number one to self defense, heck mine even came with a mossberg 500 attached

I have a binder that I keep useful info in. Things like diagrams for butchering deer, homemade water filters, home remedies, edible plants, survival recipes etc.

My family lived off grid for 5 years when I was a kid and we built a shelter out of tarps and the thick black sheet plastic. That along with a barrel stove kept us warm in temps down to -28. I always keep both of those items on hand now just in case.

I always keep two disposable fire extinguishers. They can be used in self defense, as well as to put out fires.

Tampons and menstrual pads. Not only are they needed monthy any way but they make excellent packing for wounds and can be used for starting fires.

When my kids were younger I was really nervous about having candles during a power out. One day while shopping in the garden center I was looking at the small solar lights. I thought that was a perfect idea. The kids could carry them around and I don't worry about a fire. I leave them outside till we need them.

I think it’s important to have both heirloom and improved seeds. Heirloom because they produce seeds and improved because they sprout easier, and are more disease resistant. If you are hungry, the last thing you need is your crop dying on you because of disease. If you plant both types, chances are greater that you will be successful.

That was a good video. Everything on your list is what I've already got stocked from my own list. I would add WD-40, PB Blaster, or some kind of lubricant to the list, for unsticking rusty bolts on old farm equipment, automobiles, or garden tools you might need to put into temporary service. it can also be used as a fire starter. It's important to have plenty of self-rising and all-purpose flour and shortening on hand to make biscuits, gravy, and such things. Cornmeal is handy to have too. cornmeal, four, and grease can make a very basic food to have in any survival situation. Biscuits will last for several days inside a ziplock bag. gravy can save your life. Ziplock bags are another good thing to have on hand. With a Ziplock bag, you can transport minnows for fish bait, crawdads, and live fish, and use them to keep your food safe from flies. They are also handy for keeping matches and kindling dry, or to store soap. A bar of soap would be another thing to add to the list. You'll need that to wash your hands, wash out wounds, or to wash your dishes. Baby wipes are really handy after a few days of not being able to wash when water is not available or if it is too cold outside to be bathing. A toothbrush is also a good thing to have for washing dishes and washing out old bottles you may need to put into use. Fresh eggs, straight from the nest will last 45 days if stored somewhere cool, like a rock ledge in a well or in a cave. Never wash them. They will keep much longer with the natural coating still intact. They are God's perfectly packaged nutrition. You cannot improve on that. Always keep a sharp knife on hand. A good, sharp pocket knife is essential.

I like solar yard lights. You bring em in at night and they last for years.

Everyone used to laugh at preppers. They don't anymore.

"God Bless America! Long Live The Republic!" Amen To That!!!

Medium Wrought iron planter. The ones where you insert the planter through the ring. It can use it as a wood stove to boil water and cooking outdoors. I always keep one and a stainless steel pot.

Items showed: 1. Toilet paper 2. Duct tape 3. Lighters and matches 4. Batteries 5. Flashlights 6. Candles 7. Bleach 8. Plastic bags 9. Tarps 10. Socks 11. Salt 12. Seeds 13. Propane 14. Oil lamps 15. Pararchord 16. First aid kit

Hard candy. Children have short patience but enjoy instant gratification. A butterscotch candy will go a long way to soothing a restless kid and also helps stop a growling belly for everyone.

I watched other prepper videos, but your video is the best I have seen. It is clear, concise, and informative. Thank you so much.

Thank you for helping simple people to be Prepared. I have started a Pantry of Food, Basic needs & Water, but these items you don't usually think of needing. Propane is necessary if its Cold & you loose your power. I am ready. Appreciate your list.

I’ve started prepping in secret from my husband, because he’d be calling me crazy.🙄. I’m starting to get a pretty good stock in my basement. Thank you so much, for the videos. You’ve been my teacher.👍🏼🇺🇸

Where I live. Storms have put out the power at least 4 times a year. I light a tea candle and drop it into a glass jar. 5 or 6 jars with a candle will light up a good size room. The jar keeps them from touching anything and throws more light.

Excellent suggestions👍🏼 Be prepared, take heed! Protect your family🙌🏼

Thank you so very much for sharing your knowledge with us!

My dad told all of us kids 11 hours to be exact, that this day would come where we may have to run to the mountains and the caves and we were always taught by him how to live off the land I sure do you think the Lord for that especially in this day and age and giving you everything that is going on God bless you for sharing

One thing to keep in mind with lighters is the striker lasts much longer than the fuel, so even if the fuel runs out you can still start a fire with it.

It’s summer in New Orleans! 11 days without power August 29, 2021, 16 years to the day after Katrina! It’s just common sense. I go more solar and battery banks, but I picked up some great tips. I tend to focus on portability as I evacuated for Katrina, but stayed for Ida. Keep your options open and your supplies adaptable. That’s the way I see it.

Save your dryer lint and toilet paper rolls. Stuff the rolls with dryer lint. They make great "kindling" to get a fire going. Store them pre-stuffed or not. Keep the lint in 5 gallon buckets with lids in a very dry area that does not get a lot of heat !

Hoard some coffee while you're at it, it can provide a psychological boost and can be used as a item for bartering.

Speaking of tarps - a plastic shower curtain from Target is about 6x6 feet and costs three bucks. It's heavy plastic and has reinforced holes across one edge so you could thread a piece of paracord through it to hang it up as a lean-to. I haven't figured out a survival use for the magnets at the bottom but I'm still working on it.

You mean to tell me that tarps are good "for covering up things" ? I knew I watched these videos for good reason! :-)

God bless you for sharing your valuable knowledge it has helped me so much!

Remember the MILITARY adage : TWO is one and one is NONE. Simply put have a second or more as backup for EVERYTHING. Buy a couple boxes of utility RAGS from like Home-depot or Lowe's and use them for wiping your behind/bottom after a poop. Not are they only WASHABLE but will last a lot longer, take less space for storage and cheaper for how long they last. TAKE CARE TO AVOID INJURIES so you are ABLE TO KEEP WORKING for the entire camp. Don't take unnecessary chances and plan projects out and always ask for help with any difficult or dangerous chores. WE ALL need to stay alive to help build our country back up after things settle down. Be there at the end so do whatever it takes to keep everyone alive... I want to see ALL OF YOU at the end so be safe and do not trust anyone that you do not know VERY, VERY, VERY WELL. Just know that people can and DO CHANGE to the dark side in a NEW YORK MINUTE so be cautious and NEVER, NEVER, NEVER let anyone inside your camp for any reason.

Three things I would add are hydrogen peroxide, alcohol and iodine.

Also you can use old flannel sheets cut up in 10 inch squares for urine wipes and 12 by 12 inches for bigger business. Just put used pee ones in a covered small plastic container and wash in rinse then regular wash cycle! Kinda like the days of old when we used cloth diapers! Point is we don’t need to freak out if we can’t find TP for a bit!! We got this people!!!! 👍👍👍

Great list! Thanks for the video!

Tarps -- 10. Socks -- 11. Salt -- 12. Heirloom seeds -- 13. Propane -- 14. Lamp and oil -- 15. Rope/paracord -- 16. First aid kit

Prescriptions, meds, eyewear... AND let's remember our furry friends and what they may need. They're a part of the family as well.

So glad I met you, I am often very worried about this bridge history has never crossed before. Excellent information from one of my new friends .

Think of 2 flashlights or torches as we call them for each person. Great video. Remember when the East Coast went down a few year's ago? I was in Northern Ontario, -35C at the time. I had a huge woodstove that saved me and 8 kids.

Boy Scout Handbook from the 60's' and 70's. Best survival info around.

super glue,good for many things,including sealing off cuts.

I feel very grateful for your thorough list I am glad I have most of the items already but will work on the goodies I am missing thank you!!!

Thank you so much for reminders

I keep plenty of heavy duty *ZIP TIES* in my prepper kit.

Waterproof matches: Wooden match with the tip dipped in clear nail polish. Let dry on parchment paper. Store in a pill bottle. Voilá...floats too.

thank you for the info

Wow amazing I’ve been slowly prepping stuff and as a lot of others out there that’s families and friends laughed and thought I was losing my mind and watching to much utube but finally they are seeing what I saw coming for awhile now and even my hubby thought I was losing it til recently the crazy amount for food ,gas, and Essentials finally my hubby really sees the urgencies I’ve been warning so many about and to really crack down now and spend all our money wisely for the future if we plan to even have a fighting chance at what is becoming rapidly so many unprepared my heart breaks for thous unprepared I remember the panic of people running to Costco at the start of the pandemic of 2019 and the hard two years we all got threw barely for basic necessities and the lineups so long and watching people standing in lines forever as I sat at home staying away from all that you think people learn but they don’t they just figure that everything will go back to normal the stores will be stocked the gas will keep pumping we keep paying our bills same old same old but it’s going to stop and it’s gonna stop fast and sudden and people will be running around like a bunch of lunatics at least I know even on a disability pension I’ve managed to be able to get ahead of it! And with your help Ive learnt something every time thank you

Get stocked on critical meds you need!!!! Always Have your BIBLE!

Always....ALWAYS! Check out the clearance sections of your stores.

WOW! I love it - a flashlight as a number 1 weapon for my disabled son and I. Thanks.

My husband feels the same way. He also thought that the coronavirus would go away in the spring time that it was just the flu. Have an area that you know he will not go into and store small things there. Anything that you would keep in the medicine cabinet or first aid would be important. Also cans can be stored in small places. If your husband has been looking at the news he most likely believes what is going on but does not want to alarm you. You know, I am Man, no one can hurt me! Lol. Stay safe.

Dawn dishsoap the blue one, use for hygiene, use for dishes, cleaning, bugs, laundry, animals. A million uses!!!

just in case no one else thought of it - heavy duty foil wrapp, for making cups or bowls

Great video keep up the great work I got a lot of good information things I had not thought about. Thanks so very much. God bless you and yours

Great content, very thorough and helpful. Thanks

This was 6 months before the Corona TP wars. Good call dude.

One thing I would recomemd. Share a kit with an elderly person. They may not have the money nor knowledge to plan ahead.

Thank you so much for sharin this information Im a first time prepper Thanks again

I have always hoarded used jars with lids. It's amazing how many uses for them.

If you run out of wicks for the lamp oil lanterns. You can tear up old cotton shirts and or use shoe laces. Just as good as the wicks

No matter how well you prepare there's always something that's missing from your supplies. I like to hoard items with trade value: ammo; silver; nails (and screws and bolts); tools; fabric; anything that will always be in demand but takes up little room and has a long shelf life. I don't like gold or precious stones. They are too expensive to obtain and difficult to exchange. Rather than gold, lead, copper and brass are better.

IF you get a Mag-Light. I recommend the D Cell version. Nothing longer than a 3 battery light. If you use it as a baton, anything longer than the 3-battery Mag-Light will bend from the cranial impact and the batteries will be hard to get out. Yes, voice of experience.

I definitely agree with your choices. Maglite makes a great flashlight, even has extra bulb in screw cap. Great info.

The dollar store is a goldmine for a lot of these items. Religious candles. Lighters. Batteries bleach and medical supplies

Good list. Other things I stock: Canned foods Dried foods Solar powered cell phone chargers Gallon water jugs Water purifier, used in backpacking Q tips for getting things out of eyes 90-day supply of prescription meds Advil, and other OTC meds Spare eyeglasses Paper towels Moist towelettes Wine and liquor Soaps and cleaning supplies Hats and gloves Blankets

God bless you on Sharing these items. ❤️❤️❤️

Well done picture book of foraging for wild food in your region. Much faster than gardening from seed. Use it and learn what grows in your area now. Practice eating bits of what you are sure you have identified.

Playing cards, favorite sweets, and books for pleasure reading

On the medical side, don't overlook veterinary medicine... It's cheap and available and just as effective! I grew up on a farm so if SHTF I have all the antibiotics and pain killers, and medical knowledge we need. Just a consideration.

Regular and heavy duty Aluminium foil, many valuable applications, and if you live near ponds,streams,lakes, etc. fishing line and fishing equipment, and definitely 2 great pair of binoculars.

Just getting started thanks for all the good ideas

A solar or crank cell phone charger is great to have. Also, a reminder that in an emergency, if the cell service is overloaded TRY TEXTING. The bandwidth required for voice call is roughly 100x-200x text, so try texting for communication.

Toothpaste and floss. Oral hygiene is critical for good health.

Great video with a lot of good information! I'm subscribing!👍

Dental repair kit to patch up a broken tooth or cavity in an emergency if you can'tsee a dentist. You can buy these online. You can use extremely dilute bleach in water to disinfect your mouth for a tooth infection, dentists do this. Plus iodine can be dropped onto a broken tooth to prevent or treat for infection also.

Use an old prescription bottle to store matches, cotton and vassaling ect.

I just have a striker and matches can go inside a large pill bottle, u dont need that fancy container..rip off the striker edge of a matchbox and shove it down in your pill bottle. Make tinder bundles of dryer lint and empty t-paper rolls. Im a thrifty prepper.

Absolutely right ✅ 👏🏼 thank you for the information. God bless you

Thank you. Really appreciate your advisement.

I have been low-key prepping for a couple of years now---one thing I've noticed not too many think to suggest are dietary supplements. Vitamin pills are the lowest common denominator ~ you can treat illnesses, infections, etc. if you learn which supplements support which functions. It's a PREVENTATIVE approach too---to build the immune system, same as eating right, eating healthy. Example (a simple one) Lemon Balm is an effective Anti-Viral supplement, supports healthy liver function too. Having a healthy liver is the doorway to good healthy everything!

waterproof Ziploc bags work good in keeping things dry. multiple hacks for the beginner. candles on the base of a ceramic clay pot with the planter upside down over the base is a good reliable heat source.

2 things to add. First, disposable diapers. So many uses, from padding splints to added insulation in a pinch. Also work as large area dressings, flip over and the plastic will seal a sucking chest wound. Next up superglue, the OG chemical suture.

One thing you need to bare in mind about synthetic ropes: they fall apart after a while. Climbing rope is only good 5 years after it's made. All composite synthetic rope will go bad. Sure, you can tie some pieces of wood with it, it's not climbing where the forces are high, but is good to bare in mind if you are storing rope for 10 years or more.

You touched on it in the gardening. Often overlooked is acquiring knowledge and skills to utilize the items to their potential. Training and practicing a skill will go a long way

Crayons can be used as candles. With back to school sales, perfect time to buy. Light the top and drop some wax onto plate to stand the crayon upright. It will burn down. Leave the paper on.

Great video, my friend. I actually agree with everything you said, and that rarely happens. Really awesome to see what you have achieved since 09. May the republic stand strong, God bless America.

You need to include Emergency Guidebook for any calamities and a radio with powered batteries to listen to emergency broadcasts.
