Very good survival video. I have shared with quite a few of my loved ones. Thanku so much.😊

[MakeMoneyMike]

Great vid! We need to get back to basics and the olden times!

This is a fantastic overview of disaster preparedness. Hopefully this author will expand on each of these topics. Concise and directly put. Jim in California

Glad this popped up on YouTube.
I’ve been clued into this for a long time.
One way to learn these skills is to get involved with “living history programs.” Ideally, you will have a frontier fort nearby. They often have costumed volunteers or staff demonstrating skills.

It is good to see a video on skills rather than guns, gadgets, freeze dried food and dollar store preps.
Here's my rant on the subject.
Know how to cook from basic raw ingredients. When Covid shut down the restaurants I told my wife watch for apartment and house fires. Sure enough, people that had no idea about cooking and some of their neighbors were suddenly homeless.
Know something about obtaining food, gardening, hunting, fishing, wild edibles. Practice it.
Put cooking and obtaining food together, can, dehydrate, freeze, ferment and pickle food.
Know how to put out a fire, both a campfire and a kitchen fire.
Pick one old technology and make it a hobby. Get some knowledge, tools supplies and practice. Raise food, ferment drink, turn homemade wine into vinegar, learn blacksmithing, knife sharpening, leatherworking, and this list goes on. Look at the last names that come from trades, These people were so important to the village the job became their name at some point. Here's a partial list. Archer, Arkwright, Baker, Barber, Bowman, Brewer, Bridger, Carpenter, Carter, Cartwright, Carver, Cooper, Cowherd or Coward, Cutler, Draper, Farmer, Fisher, Fletcher, Forester, Fowler, Gardener, Glover, Goddard, Hayward, Hunter, Kellogg, Mason, Miller, Piper, Potter, Sadler, Sheppard, Shipwright, Shoemaker, Skinner, Slater, Smith, Spicer, Spurrier, Stoddard, Swinnart, Tailor, Tanner, Tapper, Taylor, Thatcher, Turner, Wainwright, Weaver, Wheeler and Woodward.
Wife and I are in our 60's, Our garden supplies most of our vegetables for the year. We also have a medicinal and kitchen herb garden. It is early February and plants are started under lights already for the coming garden. We have apple and plum trees, blueberry, blackberry and aronia bushes and a grape vine. I assist my wife in canning, dehydrating, fermenting, pickling and freezing produce. We also can fresh meat. We fish, I sharpen the knife and fillet. We shoot, I reload. She is crocheting as I write this. I've done some brick laying as a hobby. (nice raised beds) I'm in the middle of routine maintenance of the rototiller. We have remodeled some of our home by ourselves and it looks better than what the paid help did. I've carried a 20 to 27 pound pack over a thousand miles in the past year while walking the dog. It provides water, a bowl and other necessities and adds to the exercise. Wife and I also bycicle together. Some years more than others. one recent year was almost a thousand miles, another was only 200. It depends on visiting family, the garden and such.
We don't go out to eat often, we don't take expensive vacations, lease cars or wear fancy clothes. Other than basic internet and cell phone we have no subscriptions. We regularly practice charity, giving to charities we have researched for how well the manage money and do what they say. We are not considered crazy people by the local townfolk or relatives. We are considered good neighbors and friendly people. There are several business in town that welcome the dog and I while we are out so we can get out of the cold or the sun. We have our will and other documents prepared and distributed. We have investments in stocks, bonds, funds, banks, cash, metals and real estate. Funny that we were able to accumulate so much after the layoff at 49 years old and not getting another real job for 18 months. But we were frugal, practical and charitable.
Yes, we also have a stockpile of food, water, vitamins, medicinal herbs, books, dog food, detergent, soap, shampoo, propane, gasoline, lubricants, tape, adhesives, caulk, tarps, scrap lumber, nails, screws, other hardware, two generators, electric extension cords, a sump pump, hose, a chain saw, guns, ammunition, reloading supplies, gun cleaning supplies, paper goods, blankets, cots, a tent, medical supplies, chain, rope, zip ties, hand tools and this list goes on and on. We do all this on a half acre and in an 800 square foot home. We don't have bug out bags. In that event I will rent a 53 foot shipping container and have some friends visit for a week. But we don't live in an area that is prone to one to three day warnings of death dealing whatevers. I kinda think we are staying put.
We have helped neighbors with our chain saw, our generator, I've cleared snow, mowed lawns, given them fruit tree saplings, produce, even taken them shooting and provided guns and ammo. We believe that our neighbors are part of our preparation, not someone to be feared.
And that's my rant and encouragement on having skills and the kind of things we stockpile.

If possible, this is one of your best videos yet ! May your channel continue to grow and be a source of information to those who need it. Bless you.

That was a good list. I can do all those things except knitting. I never learned it but I can crochet. Cooking food from scratch over an open fire and coals will be very important. I have a Dutch oven I am eager to try in my back yard.

Let's get on it...let's be like our ancestors and get away from our phones.

[propheciesarenow]

Great overview. It's appreciated!

[stevehartman]

They need to teach these skills n elementary school and in the scouts instead of the political correct crsp they teach now
.

Most people would just die with no modern conveniences. Especially there cell phone or computer and game box. Most wouldn’t begin to understand what it would be like with out power.

Let’s get away from AI videos like this.
