It’s so true . I’ve been through two hurricanes now , one pretty bad , and have found that people really come together . Get out there and know your neighbors . Even if they aren’t just like you they have lots to offer. Everyone focuses on people being bad. The truth is people are social beings and tend to come together when shit gets weird . If you live in an area where you can’t trust your neighbors, then it’s time to move. I live in coastal NC and we take care of one another.

We had a major power outage up here in AK in Wasilla and Fairbanks this winter and people's pipes froze. I would recommend buying a couple of kerosene heaters and 5 gallon cans of kerosene. One can go under the crawl space to heat the pipe areas. Mr buddy heaters are propane heaters. They make a hose kit to connect up to the gas grill propane tanks.

Would you buy a gun for self defense, put it away in a closet and not shoot it? Then when time came to need it, it's not sighted in, you are not well familiar with it. Well, same with radio gear. If not licensed, you can't use it. You can't practice. You won't know what frequencies to use. And the Baofengs are difficult to set up as far as frequencies. DO NOT depend on use of repeaters. They likely won't be up and running after a hurricane. It's not hard to get a Tech license. Many clubs have "ham crams", an all day class and test session afterwards. You have to be really stupid to not pass after that. And Robin, I'm a CVE, too.

That being said, if you’re the one in need of assistance in an emergency pick up whatever radio you have and call “break” or “emergency” and all non-emergency traffic will ceases while you talk your way through it.

Great stuff. I had the advantage of parents who grew up during the Great Depression. That experience made indelible marks on both. My dad, in particular, knew what hungry was. I guess you could say that it was like going through a disaster that lasted years. Although they never actually said it, I could tell that, because they had gone through it they must have vowed to themselves to never go hungry again because my mother always made sure that there were weeks, if not months, of canned food on hand - both commercial and home canned. They passed that along to my siblings and I. I guess I never considered myself to be a prepper but I have always made sure that we have everything we need to sustain ourselves for long periods of time. I'm sure many of you grew up with parents or grandparents who taught you the same things. Where I live experienced massive ice storms back to back in the early 2,000's and we were without power and unable to get to town for nearly 3 weeks. We were well fed, warm and protected the entire time. It was funny because my oldest daughter said after it was all over, "I think Dad was disappointed when things got back to normal.

Being from Texas and having gone through our recent snowpocalypse, one thing I learned is that you may be set, but your loved ones might not be. I’m no prepper but I came out ok. Unfortunately, several of my loved ones weren’t. My 4 packs of costco packs of water went by fast when I had to give water to my family. Candles came in handy and we used our solar garden lights at night. The MOST handy thing was my 4x4 truck that allowed me to check on family and make deliveries. Having fuel for the truck was essential. A generator would’ve been great. Food wasn’t an issue since we had just stocked up after the whole COVID scare. A propane grill kept us from having to go with hot meals.

if you're looking for a top quality performing cooler for a more reasonable price consider the Otterbox Venture series. I got my 65 quart version for $200 and in my own testing in the garage (no direct light, like you would ideally be using it) in 85-90 degree temperatures it kept ice for 14 days with it being opened 3 times per day. Freeze whatever food you can, get everything as cold as possible. As far as budget axe/hatchet options check out the cold steel trail boss... I got them for $24 each and they're a great in between size so its light yet capable. Great camp axe.

Ever since I was a child and the blizzard of 77 hit my state I have subscribed to the ideal of having AT LEAST one spare tank of fuel for every engine you own and multiple tanks for things like generators and snow removal equipment. As such my process is simple. Once a month before I go to the gas station I top off everything from my cans. My cans are numbered so I can rotate them. 20 gallons into two cars, another 5 or so into my tractor, chainsaw, generator etc. So I am always filling up at least 25 fresh gallons for storage every month. Using this method even ethanol gas is fine. However be very leery of ethanol gas in older small equipment. Keep those float bowls drained when storing.

I wanted to add a couple things. 1. The water filters you mentioned are filters, NOT purifiers. The Sawyer and the Lifestraw do not get rid of viruses. Granted, this is typically a non-issue in North America. South America or Africa would be a different story. The Berkey takes the cake but for portability I recommend the MSR Guardian. 2. The mentality on having a rechargeable light makes sense. I personally opt for the streamlight 1l-1aa, which takes either a single cr123 or a single AA. Just my preference. Amazing light. 3. As for food. Much shorter shelf life, but I recommend Huel. It is nutritionally complete powdered food. I have lived off it for 12 days and I only missed being able to chew my food and variety of taste. 4. Dont forget to have an additive to stored fuel. Theres a few other things, like maybe a way to use the restroom, but I thought I would offer my 2 cents. Love your channel. Thank you!
