"Dull axes don't do anything, they're called hammers" love it !

Great video!!! You are 100% right, the society is so weak, so stupid that the next depression will wipe out 80% of the population in North America. I lived 13 years of war and I lived through everything you described. God help us if this SHTF event happens.

You make a lot of great points in your uncomfortable truths. No one ever thinks about what to do with human waste let aline dead bodies, but it is an uncomfortable truth we are going to have to deal with.

I too am old, 62. I don't start a fight, I have had my ass kicked before. So I now defend myself like I'm the 3rd monkey on the ramp to Noah's ark. Fair, what the hell is that. Great info and passion, the truth is very educational.

Fisrt rule of fighting is that there is no such thing as a dirty fight. That, and try to avoid an opponent with cauliflower ear if you can.

Wow! You just kept hitting that bullseye! I took exception to some earlier mentioned items. (Charging batteries on cordless drills) I just got solar. And I have some suitcase size quiet generators with 100 gallons of fuel that I rotate in a detached garage. But as I continued to listen, I found some uncomfortable truths for myself. Lower morals worry me, I’ve always said bartering is dangerous. I read Ferfal’s book. It’s going to take years to recover as you said. That’s the part most people fail to understand. I think I’m safer here than most. I live in the Midwest and there are only 9,000 people in my county, 1/4 are Amish and there is 44 square miles. That means very few people and there are no interstates or railroads within 40 miles. Only 1 stoplight in my whole county. Any big city is 60 miles or further away. Yep we’ll be on our own, but we mostly live off the land anyway. I own my farm, not the bank. I hunt my own land and fish my own ponds. My orchard of over 200 trees will help too. It brings deer to my dinner table. I pressure can them. We’ll lose our conveniences. We all heat with wood and cook. Some also use propane. My tank is so big, it’ll last 3-5 years. All good things will come to an end. Life will be almost unbearable. I must have subscribed after uncomfortable truths video #1 I’ll have to go back to watch it. I’ve seen so many “preppers” advocate buying extra just to barter with. They think it’s going to be like a big garage sale! And make lots of money too! Get anything that you need! They’re clueless! It will be murder, kidnappings, theft, blackmail, fights, and everything else. I’ve been hard core prepping for 5 years. I continue to reassess and I’m willing to change plans and look for holes. I find there are holes and shortcomings in every prep, but that’s just because I’ve truly scrutinized everything. No one can be ready for everything. Just like you reminded us, “everybody’s got a plan until they get punched in the face!

My uncomfortable truth I can share, is that if I didn't have doctors right now I'd probably be dead or die soon. I got bit by a brown recluse spider a month ago, I now have a huge crater of an open wound. Even something as little as a spider can kill you without medical care. Even with care this thing is gonna take months to heal. Stay safe guys.

The uncomfortable truth about prepping...when the SHTF, we are all going to die. Some will live longer, but they may find that they wish they hadn't. Trust in Christ!

TAPCO SKS...LOL. Uncle Freedom laying down the truth for the masses.

Oh there's lots of these, the "anyone comes on my property and.... you know the rest", what if they send women or children? In the same theme, you have your buried cache's, who did you let know or bury them with? Are they as mentally together and tough as you? Do they really have any sense of consequences of their actions, including family? What about your adolescent hormonal kids? Relative that always has to have their own way and be in charge until it's time to clean up their mess they've caused. Is everyone on the same page and truly understands what the current situation is and they can mentally accept the current reality? Pets, they are now MREs to a lot of people, the barking tells others you or an MRE is in the house. Do they really earn their keep? Do all the humans around you? Easy times make weak people.

Glad I found this channel in it's early stages. More than happy to help you grow this thing. Excellent content... perfect delivery.

Thanks! Unc you hit it out of the park again keep up the great content.

I’m going to agree completely as a almost 60 year old who lives in rural ish North CA and grew up on a Wisconsin farm dairy homestead surrounded by Amish. We all are very likely to suffer a lot and maybe not many people will survive. Maybe. But I do think that improvisation adapting and overcoming will be daily practice. I wrestled in school and been hit plenty. Really enjoyed your videos on uncomfortable topics like this. Keeping it real

I am more unprepared now than I was after your last prepping video, lol. I'm only at number 3, in this video, and having a group to share responsibilities with is becoming more and more vital to my preps.

I enjoy your videos. We are Americans, and many of us think that if we just buy enough stuff, we can somehow survive. The only thing we can buy is some time. If we have the knowledge, skillsets, and relationships, this might be enough. You need to invest more than money into survival.

By the way...gold and silver have no value to me when the SHTF. Only goods and skills are useful and I got enough of those to survive. No skills, no goods, no usefulness then.

Wow this was a shocker and stuff I never thought about. Thanks Bud!

Good Ole Uncle Freedom giving us the cold hard facts ... Love it brother great video as always

I have a patch on my EDC bag that is a tab reading “morally flexible” among others

Being born in '88, I feel like our generation was the last generation that wasn't completely soft. We grew up riding bikes around the town and fishing canals, building ramps and gettin into some mischief. Anything we wanted came from cutting a guy's lawn down the street for 15-25 bucks. And, we didn't all have cell phones(unless you had money) or internet until we had dial-up. Me and two of my sisters shared one cell phone. I'm not real old but old enough. Those were the days.

I got a small solar set up just to charge power tools but I’m also collecting more hand tools.

Dam, son, not being ugly. LoL I've been in my share of the real fights. Some won, some lost This has been one of the most educational video I have ever watch,as a 62 year old fossil. Health and fitness. Education, knowledge is the best advantage all the best 🇨🇦..keep the great content. Coming.

Excellent point I did not comsider, to blend in by eating less.

Im an amry veteran and im ugly and have literally nothing left to loose. I bring the fun times.

Yes! Hand tools are a necessity, especially in a suburban or rural setting. Shovels, axes, deep tooth saws and extra handles for all of the tools. Some peppers only concentrate on one or two aspects of living without power, but there's so much more to it. Just watch a few movies or shows like little house on the prairie.

All the gear in the world won’t save you if you are not in shape

Amen. Smart gentleman here. A few things I didn't think of this indepth mentioned.

I have a fat neighbor, I am looking forward to making him into candles.

Super cool! Thanks stay cool 😎👍🏻

Truth was spoken again .....awsome.

I really appreciate your brutal honesty. Taking a good,long & hard look at ones own situation and the fact this is a very soft society we live in, leads one to realize that this collapse is going to be brutal and ugly. Prepare yourselves spiritually, Jesus is Lord, then prepare physically... understand we all die sometime, the mortality rate among humans is still 100%.

The title is very fitting for the video. Great job covering all of these topics, some of which I smacked myself in the forehead for not even thinking of. Thanks so much, just subbed.

EMP is all the talk . But there are way worse ways to go and less troubling for enemies to pull off.

Great thoughts as always!

I Love these series (this and the bug out bag one)... I power watched them... I love the breath of fresh air... Canada is the same brother, I wonder how many have actually used hand tools ? Our MAG practices using them, even cut trees with saws and axes.. firk its hard work.. most do not know this. I spread these to my MAG (both of the series). I checked our sops and found oops no dead handling.. plan.. thanks... Pssst lost a lot of teeth in bars and well lets say assignments ...

Wait until people find out that their toilets will back up because the sewage treatment plant went down. Now THAT'S funny!

You don't fight to win you fight to live

Please...PLEASE!! Don't become like a majority of other prepper channels that are just fear-mongers. Your channel is direct. To the point. And most important..HONEST! I would suggest you make a video about what really can happen if you bug out. ( since it's still a romantic notion in several people minds)

Just found your channel. It's awesome. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for another help me video these videos have me really thinking a lot I thought I had to figure out but I got a lot to do and learn

Congratulations on the growth. Now let's get after this.

Great video. You made some great points that made me really think about things. Keep up the excellent content

Best video yet!! Thanks for the truth. Guessing some people should've been hording Preparation H.

Man I love these videos. Keep um coming😊

You should have more than 7k!! Your content , info and insight is Great!! Thoroughly enjoyed it!

I have 2 wood stoves. People keep asking why i split wood by hand. They just dont get it. One thing to think about. When throwing things out, strip 'em. Take the screws, wire, motors and such. Then toss the rest. Its yard sale season, look for hand tools, cookware, and other stuff you might need. Speaking of smells, when i was in russia, there was a couple snuggling together on a bus. The body odor of them would choke a horse. Very true what you said about smells.

Just an idea, but I would like to hear your opinion on patrol shotguns. 12 ga. vs 20 ga., semi or auto, and buckshot or dedicated less lethal ammo as a few topics of discussion. I know in this day and time, the shotgun is seldom used but it still has it's uses. Maybe discuss situations that you would choose a shotgun over a rifle. Just a thought.

Volume 2: pure platinum in terms of value, and as always stay safe brother.

❤❤❤❤. Excellent Video!!!!!!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤

Flexible morality! Interesting thought. Great content and not patiently waiting on the next video.

Really like your videos they're all about the truth what you're saying there's nothing but the truth

Dude! Love your vids! It take a Vet/CopFirst Responder to truly appreciate your humor/viewpoint! Great content, as always! Stay safe and remember…. I go home at the end of the shift!👍🏼🇺🇸🇺🇸

Awesome channel man, this is I think my third videos of yours I’ve watched. Love the content 🤘🏻

I agree with most things your saying ....except the gardens......unless you can grow LOTS.....you just wasting energy...... Cause we have had decent sized gardens and they won't feed you for long....unless you grow a shit ton of storable veggies.......

Great video 👍

Lol, like the 3rd monkey on Noah's arks ramp...never heard that one before, I like that and will have to remember it. Dull hammers being called hammers isn't far behind either.

Asked a similar question regarding these talents on a Risky video

Can't wait for vol.3

Bjj and MMA are a must. Just subbed homie loved this video. "He fought like the third monkey on Noah Arks ramp" hahahaha.

Just shared this..........

We are truly screwed and I am to old for this .💩

No matter who you are what you got or how strong you are everyone sleeps everyone bleeds we can better the odds but it will never be 100%

Avoid smelling from the can you just warm up. Dont open it, but punch a dent at the side of the can. Warm it up, and when the bulge straightens out, take it away from the heat, wait 5 minut. Then open the can in a close room. Eat and enjoy the fresh cooked meal. In that way you wont spread the smell. Excuse my bad english 🙂 IMPORTANT. Removed the can from the heath as soon the bulge straightens out, otherwise it can explode. I try this many time in the army.

Do you know how to can meats and veggies for long term storage? Don’t cheap out on your pressure canner either. Stay away from the canners that need a replaceable seal. If that seal wears out and you don’t have replacements, you don’t have a canner. All-American canners makes them that doesn’t use a rubber seal.

Lol just found the channel I love this

wife and i live in the country both raised on farms so we have knowledge and skills to grow butcher can our food make our own honey maple syrup . primary heat source is wood do have a wood cook stove both of use can cook on open fire closes neighbor 1/2 mile away 10 miles from town but cant put a pack on walk 5 miles anymore

loved the video

I still think it’s funny people think gold/silver will be worth anything. It’s not much better than a dollar bill.

After watching this, it makes me want to speed through you jurisdiction, just to meet you & BS for a bit, whether I receive a speeding citatiion or not! LOL

few years ago well run out of water 2 -3 x a day knew i had a spring up on the hill had a friend w a excavator 24" plastic culvert pipe drilled 30 holes made a cement cover about 1500 lbs of stone that was fun getting up the hill fabic 6' cover 400' of 1/2 pipe havent ran out of water since was smart in basement have way to use pump or gravity . water pressure stinks gravity feed

its sad we have 20 30 year old that cant do things for themselves fix a leaking pipe change a light switch etc

Third monkey on Noah’s ark ramp lol that section reminded me of how the cheetah who is faster than the gazelle only wins 20% of the time. Cheetah is running for his lunch, Gazelle is running for his life

Considering the myriad of great points, the moral flexibility point was the best, overriding part. I can't thank you enough for this, amid a deluge of dumbassery out there in prepping.

Your videos are great. Love all the knowledge. But that garage. Its like an I Spy book. I find myself getting distracted.

Good stuff!!

I used to be a frac mechanic… I’ve rehung too many god damn hammers. Didn’t want to make a comment but I felt triggered.

Great food for thought, thank you

Great video 💯 truths keep up the great videos.

2nd comment. I’ve been thinking about getting a solar generator just to keep my power tools up and running!

Here is the comment to help with the KZfaq algorithm 😁😉 ...🍻

My morality has always been pretty flexible.

Watch the short series Jericho about an emp and terrorist nuking major cities. Its a real good idea of how itll be living in rural towns.

Flannel uncle? 😂

When your in a ring and get punched in the face you will learn to act and react quick. I to boxed and took up mma for a few years . Growing up in Cleveland Ohio in the 80s&90s you had to fight with all the gang violence

Brother you are hilarious! 😂😂😂😂

drop pallets by plane with parachutes with supplies 🤷

What I recommend is everyone practice putting on their plate carriers, having their preferred weapon, and having hearing protection on in a set time limit. For example... Johnny crackhead is breaking in. Get battle ready in under 10 seconds. ( battle ready is your carrier on, have a round in the chamber, and have your ear muffs on in under 10) I practice this drill daily. On average my carrier is on in 4 seconds and fully secure. I put on my hearing protection in under 2 seconds, rack a round in my shottie in 2 seconds. Why do I practice this. Because Johnny crack head once in the house can reek havoc once he gets past the door. We have all seen the videos. Once in they move as fast as roaches. Time is not your friend.

Well you know it takes horses and oxen muels to plant a field without a tractor also takes them to harvest the crops we don't raise horses or oxen for field work no more we do not have nothing that they had before the depression to survive only a very few will make it if it hits the fan

Enjoying this uncomfortable truths. 👍 Pamwe Chete.

Somebody in your group may go nuts and need to be locked up or silenced so they don't give away your position. This will require things like handcuffs, chains and padlocks, and/or masks to keep their mouths full of silencing material (unless you want to have to shoot granny). A dedicated room set aside for this purpose can be a plus wherever possible, including with a metal loop in the wall the other end of a chain can be padlocked to. Then they need a 24 hour guard so they don't pick locks or burn up in a fire. If a person has to be masked, vomiting can kill them so a person has to be available to get the mask off fast.

A true prepper would be a person who has the same skills our pioneer forefathers had crossing the Oregon trail. If you don't, you are lacking. If you have some of those skills, then it would be wise to socialize with this with complimentary skills. A SHTF situation brings us right back to the 1800's only with cooler guns, more trash and alot more desperation. My combat shooting friends understand "gross motor skills" and "fine motor skills." We live in a society of living with "Fine" skills but we don't practice the "Gross" living skills. Today's homeless folks living on the streets are better prepared than most. Again brother... thanks for speaking truth to the masses. Have fun at the shooting school and always be safe.

This guy is pretty good.

Fight like batman

It’s amazing how many people just don’t get it, then again, maybe not, it all makes perfect sense.. modern times have brought complacency. We have some men that have it, and are strong enough to pull through, most are not.. it will get nasty. If you have no experience in rural living or were not ever on a farm doing any farming.. at the very least 19070s and 1980s style minimum.. have a green thumb.. you got trouble coming for sure. It behooves a man to have had some rural, farming, hunting, 1980s kind of childhood at the very least, it would be hard with out it.

How many of you who have rifles and tons of ammo also have thermal optics?

Fighting is important the old saying everyone has plan till they get punched in the face

What about my tesla? Will there still be charging ports?

Population has also changed from our ancestors time of simpler farming

Battery powered hand tools, so easily to recharge batteries with a simple solar system!

Ill take care of Floyd as long as i get his house and stuff and join the community.
