5 Things Latecomers to Prepping Need to DO NOW!

[GOPerfect]

I have to wonder, what is it about so many in the country today that cannot see the trees though the forest?

How long before more get on board and figure out that we are in rough waters. Today is too late to prepare for the long haul. Tomorrow is much too late.

Good video for those who have done nothing for the tomorrows....

I don’t like his beard. Plus his left eye twitches funny.

Yeah, I wish he would clean up the beard as well.

I do not like his religion either, I only watch him on occasion.

This video just reminded me of a few buddies at work with all of their questions on what to do.

 

[Marine Cpl]

Just busting your balls because you do the same to videos posted with The Yankee Marshal. I have watched this guy’s videos before. Honestly, no fucks given about his beard.

I knew that. Still, I wish he would clean up the beard.

His voice makes me sick, but....

I actually agree with his choice in top five guns.

omg @GOPerfect you watched it LOL ..

on the Pastor Joe's vid .. he does put out some good info on prepping / food storage .. . i watch him from time to time ..

 

[SomeSoldier]

Watching this guys videos will put the fear into people, if they are not scared already. I am no where near prepared like this guy. But I am better off than most.

i dunno, TP is waste of space and a luxury [ [personally to me, from the 5 things he mentioned in the video].] unless you are in a bunker, then i would much rather prefer whiskey.

Are you saying you’d wipe your ass with whiskey?

Him and his people are set for a very long time. This is their entire lives, filled with getting ready for the end.

I am a lot better off than most, not even in the same realm as Pastor Joe.

I can only watch him for a while, he starts getting all preachy, drives me nuts.

Depends on the whiskey

There are definitely some things that are not quite right.

If you weren't paying attention before this year and 2020 still hasn't "woken" you then i don't think you'll ever see it.

 

[repete]

Gee right off the bat I found out I'm doing things wrong! instead of cases of bottled water I have 55gal drums (and a pump) oh well.

Can you transport the 55 drums if needed?

I have water blocks in my basement, I cannot transport them.

I just posted this video elsewhere.

This is IMO one of the sharpest YouTube analysis of events and future predictions.

Sam culper is a smart guy with real world experience.

He gives a lot of details and reasons of why things may not be as stable and great as all the normies think.

Water beds usually have a chemical additive put in the water to keep it from growing anything funky. Definitely not something you want to drink. Even without it, the plastic isn't food grade and surely leached its own chemicals into the water.

mine don't .. just filled it and slept on it .. lol

agree on the plastic bladder leaching .. i think baby bottles did that too

I have a high water table. Even this summer with basically draught and ridiculous temps I could still collect many gallons of water per hour from my sump pit, though I'd have to sterilize it to make it potable. The med kit is a good idea.

I also need to stop up on canned food again.

We have a good, clean flowing artisian well with great water. We also use a good UV light and filters. Really good water that should be fine.
It is completely isolated from other aquifers by clay and rock. I do have a 1000 gallon water tank which I could collect rain water if necessary.
We are good on food and can live off grid on propane, natural gas or wood in needed.
As most people concentrate on moving if necessary, we will stay put until the end. We have no plans on leaving......unless of a natural disaster or such. As far as civil unrest, electrical grid........ill die ankle deep in brass......im not going anywhere.

With you on most of this but not sure how one can live "off grid" on natural gas?

Probably just something I'm not aware of because my house is all electric (plus wood).

The problem with being set for a very long time is that an apocalypse won't last a very long time.

Even the most world ending TEOTWAWKI situation will settle into a "new normal" in a couple years.

There *will* be a new "government" and society that you will have to participate in whether you want to or not.

Your long term plan should be to position yourself positively in that society, and unless you plan on running it, expect the people who do to want to redistribute your bounty.

There are people with natural gas wells on their property.

Some have basic "all the gas you want free" deals with the owner of the well for heating, etc...

 

[Podmonkey]

I have long since come to the conclusion that as a non homeowning individual in a suburban area my best option is to become a predator in a TEOTWAWKI situation. Just full on Mad Max mode. And always to keep in mind no matter what I do, I gonna die someday anyway, no matter, no how.
Or I could move out to rural Wisconsin with my peeps, discover my farm country boy roots. Edgar Wisconsin, peeps I know have a farm, the patriarch is a short little ex Navy lifer with muscles on his muscles and two boys, one in the Army and one in the Marines.

We do what we can. Started doing some prepping over ten years ago and we've got a decent amount of the critical items, but like many - we have water barrels and a couple of WaterBob's which are not portable. Our biggest problem is living in the city, but honestly, "The City" in Oneida County is absolutely nothing like downstate. In two miles you're already on back roads with sparse population, plus we have relatives that live in very agricultural areas that are only a 30 minute drive to. If things ever went badly wrong, there would still be 24-48 hours to fill jerrycans with gas, plan a roundabout trip on back roads if necessary, fill up on water before municipalities shut down. Big difference in reacting to the signs and looking for the signs to react to. My greatest concern is winter - the house was fully renovated and restored by previous owners and there is no longer a working chimney, although the fireplace is still there. That's one item I'm planning on fixing soon - get the chimney inspected and having the flue and baffles, etc... replaced. Already have a nice little potbelly wood stove, and although it's not enough to heat the house, it's enough to heat a big room which is all we'd need. More than anything though, our focus would be to stay as invisible as possible. Stupid to advertise with smells of food, belching smoke from a big fire, showing off weapons. I grew up in the '80's and never got hooked on electronics, so I'm fully capable of existing without my computer or "smart" phone. The biggest thing I'm afraid of is fire, because in a complete social breakdown there are plenty who would take the attitude that if they can't get what you have, they'll destroy it and you out of pure malice or to remove a perceived threat.

Being that you aren’t married and aren’t tied into a job (by that I mean a particular job where you have to put a certain amount of years for a pension), why not join one of those trucking companies based out of Wisconsin or anywhere else? What’s keeping you here in the northeast?

You can rent a whole house for the price that you rent an apartment in the northeast.

Wisconsin is a nominally blue state leaning purple.
And it has a broke ass economy so good paying jobs are scarce. If I move anywhere it would be Texas. But I am not going anywhere until things settle down and the corona virus bullshittery has passed.
And no, you cannot rent a house in Wisconsin cheaper than an apartment in the northeast. The townhouse I'm renting here is only $600 a month

I have water blocks in my basement, I cannot transport them.

They are NOT for transport , they are for the next "caterpillar shit in the reservoir" crisis (about 1980, look it up ) I don't need to transport water, I have a stream and a rain water catchment system with a 250gal screened but unfiltered tank that can supply the filtered 35 gal indoor tank at my cabin.

BTW "water blocks" most people call them ice cubes!
