siouxbe1 kuddos on the bike maintenance tools

Thanks man... I'm still doing it. Fix'n and sell'n bikes.... living the dream! I just moved to a different store... working at Eriks now.

Dynamic Prepper ..

siouxbe1 did you hear him or just looked at the background? Lol

h6hfelie There are a lot of options for this now. Menstural cups for those who use tampons or washable pads. You can make your own reusable pads too.

Im just gonna say shut up meg, and leave my daughter behind

tampons are useful as bandages or fire starting water filtration, etc.

h6hfelie no such thing as a gay father.

h6hfelie get a menstrual cup!

Piero, I've considered Switzerland a country that (like Israel and South Korea) has a nationwide preparation mentality because of constant threats of invasion. Is it a requirement to keep a rifle and one fully loaded magazine in the attic if you are in a militia or neighborhood defense group? Not that they would invade but I would be most worried about Italy. They have decent weapons and well trained troops who would know how to navigate in places like the Alps. However, France and Germany look SCARY because of their size. Let's hope the Italians aren't digging tunnels under the Alps. : )

best comment EVER!!! And great point also! It doesn't matter how many "more" items you add to a bag, you can NEVER be fully prepared with ONLY the items you carry in a backpack. The TRUE survivalist packs more "tools" into his/her brain bag than into their "bug out bag"

Daniel Longo: Dude, I totally agree. Valentines, Birthday, Anniversary, Birthday. Man, I'm adding some Hallmark to my BOB! lolz - great post, much needed levity in these tough times :-) God bless you.

Daniel Longo ditto for condoms people still get pregnant during emergencies in fact because sex is life affirming it is quite commonplace

sue mcfarlane maybe for weak ass men. I have a out of control labido but havent fucked a girl in three years. Piece of advise: please yourself if it gets bad enough...

Lmao. Awww. I love this.

Enough for what?

Best bug out food is bb gun for small game, low noise

Dude that sucks!! Hope your feeling better bro.... good suggestions

How??

+Alex S they also make zip ties that are designed to be reused easily the tabs are longer and stick out.

Exactly! Spot on!

Shit I didn't know that, awesome! Thanks!

*reusable to a point.

The FDA has debunked that myth. See University of Michigan study on plastic bottles.

the fda took a shitload of chems out of all plastic bottles due to cancer so ya this used to be a problem but not any more

:))))))

dont need nail clippers just use a knife delicatly and its posible to manage nails and its one tool less to tote around with.

extec101 nail clippers are good for more than nails. Showed people that in bootcamp when my multitool was nail clippers.

ok then its more usefull thigs to it then fixing nails :)

I carry nail clippers in my purse and I can’t even tell you how useful they are in many situations. I agree!

Fish is a fat source.

I got more coming, thanks for watching~!

Guns don't need cleaning as much as you've been told. You can put a few thousand rounds through any gun and it will work just fine. That being said, if you've dropped your gun in sand, dust, mud or some slime it might not be a bad idea to have some patches and a rod.

mysterioso 100 true except with ARs. Why i dont own one. I own AK all i need is a stick and an old sock. Same with my shotty, 308, and pistols. Cleaning kits and oil is overrated.

Michael Moore I find straws work great for salt and pepper and other spices. Hair straighter both ends to seal t, like honey sticks. If opened and party used, get braces rubber bands a s fold over and seal. Plus minirubber bands have many uses for lets say, finger splints and bandages

NO. All energy bars and freeze dried food already has too much salt in it. The latest studies have shown that you don't loose enough salt through strenuous exercise to do physical harm. Water is the most important.

what if you are a chick prepper think she should add a dildo for sex craveings!!!😂😂😂😂😂😂

Raven Leap you will get a boost of hope when you successfully eat an animal without buying meat from walmart...

How's that work for you in the winter?

Cameron Buttigieg where i live winter is not very bad, and i have found common plantain even in winter because its a yard weed. it is good for anti diarrhea. also being in an area with a lot of water helps, because you can replenish your fluids. i also have a pretty strong stomach that can handle a lot lol

+viking Mckim I've never met a guy that didn't think he had a strong stomach...

Dynamic Prepper growing up a poor kid i ate a lot of 4 day old left overs, and mixing foods cuz it was all i had. I also am a big hot sauce fan, and even with a hangover i barely puke when i probably should. I'm not saying i have an iron stomach, but its probably better than average.

+Jeff Schall Clean water, just sayin'.

Do what Bayer G. Would do, use piss.

And eye pro

Plus the clippings double as a tasty treat and settles the stomach. Chewing on your nails is healthy for your teeth and great for reducing stress

+Michael Shawn I've been a Clif Bar dealer at my store for over 15 years... as well as Hammer, Scratch Labs, Health Warrior, Honey Stinger and more recently Bonk Bar. I don't think many people forget energy and nutrition bars... thus they didn't make this list... in fact I think they are fairly ubiquitous. I sell Cliff Bars due to demand, but in reality they are not much better than a Snickers.... and in fact most pro endurance athletes just eat a Snickers and a can of Coke when they need a boost. To tell the truth I'm not a big fan of Clif.... overpriced and poor quality if you ask me. I much prefer Health Warrior and Bonk Bar.... rounder nutrition, all natural and more protein per bar. But in my book these are not replacements for real food even in a bug out... just supplemental stuff to avoid food fatigue. IMHO... The Bonk Bar PB&J is THE best bar on the market.... sooooooooooo good! Right now I am sampling Coffee Bar to perhaps sell in the store... we will see, not bad so far.....

Considering clif bars a 70% organic, gmo free, and made with a lot of complex carbs that help with sustained energy, id say they are much healthier than a snickers and coke. THe bonk bar and healther warrior arent to shabby, but a lacking the 23 vitamins and minerals from the clif bar the would come in handy in a bug out situation considering it will help round out that lost nutrition. I wasn't saying cliff bars/ bars in general weren't a common item in a bugout bag, I was saying they are a better option than jerky and whey powder for protein because they contain much more nutrition for sustained health and energy and have plenty of protein while jerky and whey has no carbohydrates and carbs are the energy powerhouse macronutrient,

Michael Shawn Energy bars in general are really nothing more than fancy candy bars. I'm not saying its a bad idea... again whatever you like to avoid food fatigue and keep things interesting is great. I tip toe around things like these because I think people packing snacks and bars in BOBs in lieu of real food and meals is a major mistake.... as I addressed in my Top 10 BOB Mistakes video. If you are supplementing your diet with these then fine... if your advocating using these bars as your diet in replacement packing actual food/meals... then we have a fundamental disagreement that probably will not be bridged. My point about protein is simply as supplemental means... not attempting to live off that shit... and in that context things like beef jerky, pemmican and whey are great and light light ways to increase your protein intake, and thus a good idea... not to mention cheap...

+Dynamic Prepper For sure only supplementing for a short period of time until major food source is accessible.

Those who really need a epipen usually have them with them and those who think they do are the ones who forget.

Expired Epi is better the no epi at all!

Peanut Butter sticks and Honey sticks

Benadryl Caps, dont need an RX and longer shelf life and cheaper, you can put them under the tounge . But if you have highly allergic reaction and need one in anyday life, yes by all means!

I'm pretty sure epipens are useless unless you can get the patient to the hospital quickly, they just buy time

and a good fire starter.

ALways carry a bandana!

Yeah, you've got to "rub it off"

American medical kits has dental repair kit

Walmart and most drugstores carry temporary filling material and such. Great video.

Amazon

You can get one at the dollar tree. For a dollar!

I believe Skinny Medic and Nurse Amy each have their own bug out dental kits as well.

+Tom Manning Carhartt washed duck double front dungarees with Soft Knees knee pads. All i wear...everywhere.

was that a burn?!..lmao

+Tom Manning Oh Lord.. Deliverance!! :/ I've seen that movie... God help us.. I prefer to think of the family photo..

Tom Manning what kind of tour are you going on?

Yup, still need pressure. Thing is; there's going to be pressure even a few days after a major disaster. Most folks don't even know you can get water from the outside of commercial buildings. Even if they figure it out, they'll be in for a huge disappointment if they try using a multi-tool to get at the water. The nice thing with a silcock key is that it gives you the four sizes right in one convenient package.

+Annette B I think pets probably count as family. I know mine sure does!!

+neolithic3 Yeah... I'll admit my dog (which I got as a bird hunting dog, Brittany Spaniel) has literally become my right hand man. His dedication, talent, sweetness and eagerness to please has cemented his place in my life and as a result I have altered my preparedness plans to ensure his safety and survival right along with everyone else in my family. You can see him my Ruger 10/22 video kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nsuee6SGqrKXgHk.html @ 7:10... he was just a pup in that video but was already proving his talent as a hunter and his dedication as a family dog.

elbryan9 where can u buy that 550 paracord? ty

Mountain-High Pretty much anywhere that sells outdoors equipment. Walmart, Cabella's, Sportsman's Warehouse. Or you can always buy it online like Amazon or a lot of preppers type sites sell it.

elbryan9 TYVM

Just get the 10inch ones and paracord. Options are good thing.

Big ones can be filled with leaves as a matress

You miss the entire point. Let me paint you a scenario: Let's say you live in an urban setting. Let's pretend that something catastrophic occurs (EMP, dirty-bomb, chemical spill, hurricane, whatever...) Let's suppose that you choose to "sit tight" as the Emergency Alert System tells you. Let's pretend that the power is out, the water is off, and the local markets have already been fleeced by rioters. You are sitting in your apartment, waiting for the "all clear" sign. 4 days have gone by, and you are out of clean water, out of food - besides condiments - and only have a single roll of toilet paper left. Your toilet hasn't flushed in two days due to the lack of pressure. You can't boil water because the gas/electric is off. Fast forward a few more days. You've been living/sleeping in darkness. People are being mugged outside your apartment for simply going outside because they have "something" that other people don't have, or perceive they don't have. Fast forward another couple days, and people are now dead. People are dead in the streets...starved, murdered or whatever. It's been more than a week. People are starving, and behaving more like animals than people. It's been over a week, and most people have less than 2 days of food stored. Most people haven't eaten in more than a week. Those who venture outside are subjected to assault and muggings. Meanwhile, every piece of absorbing material (towels, napkins, paper-towels) you have has already used to wash, bathe and clean yourself. Everything you own stinks. You are hungry, and haven't slept decently in more than a week. You are tired, confused and unsettled. Maybe you ran to the window one night when you heard someone screaming from the street, and you banged your shin on the end-table. It's been bleeding for days, and you have no bandages. You've been wrapping it in tissue and toilet paper, but both are in short supply. Now, you are hungry, weak, and wounded. Eventually, you have to go outside... or else you'll die.Eventually, you reach the inevitable conclusion that you MUST leave. What do you leave with? Where are you going to? How will you survive the first night? Improvise that! How will "clever and snarky" work for you in this scenario?

What about when someone steals your bag? lol

I don't give medical advice, I simply advocate having medicines with you and properly using them, through the use of hypothetical scenario. I do not illustrate all the opposing hypothetical scenarios of when not to use them, nor do I care too. Still, it is recommended to have these medications with you... if you misuse medications can you possibly cause more harm than good??? *News Flash*.... yes.

Better to have the tool and not need it, than vise-versa. Medications are not heavy or expensive. I get diarrhea under stress. I'm far from the only one with this problem. Anti-diarrheal medication *may* save my life.

what is cdiff?

scriptorsilentum Clostridium difficilecolitis. Clostridium difficile is a bacteria in your digestive system right now. Currently there is a flora of 1000s of micro-organisms in your gut that function in harmony to digest your food and control your gut. But its possible for this bacteria (cdiff) under the right conditions to go rogue and run out of control in your gut... this overgrowth causes the release of toxins in your gut that attack the lining of your intestines. Typically cdiff is not seen in normally healthy people. But if you ever take antibiotics for anything its a good idea to take a pro-biotic also. But otherwise I would not worry about it unless you have immune problems, chemo, kidney or GI diseases or surgeries, elderly, or taking multiple antibiotics for prolonged periods (longer than 1 course) without probiotics.

Agreed. Arguments like this are basically the same as saying "The LAST thing you want to use to defend yourself in an emergency is a gun, because if your assailant is highly skilled in Krav Maga and you are attacked at arm's length, he might take it away from you and shoot you with it."

which does which
