Don't forget yard solar lights that u can bring in every night. Stick one in a milk jug and you have good light!

Cayenne pepper will stop bleeding and cayenne pills will give you time to get help if you are having heart issues.
Put small pieces of cardboard between your battery contacts in flashlights to prevent them from leaking acid in storage. Good list, I took notes!

Another Item that might be important: multi-vitamins. We can do the best we can, but at times we may have a diet missing some key nutrients, vitamins, minerals. Best to be prepared just in case.

Medications- Last year. I called the VA to get my prescriptions renewed. I waited 5-6 days...they never arrived in the mail like usual. I called and inquired....I was told that they did not have it and did not know when it would be available. That was a real wake up call for me.

I vouch for that when he said squirrel taste like chicken. It totally does !!

You’re literally the first video I’ve seen that mentions infant formula and breastfeeding. That alone earned my subscription. I’ve been prepping for a while. I prep baby wipes. My family takes care of my 95 year old neighbor. We go through a ton of baby wipes, gloves, and pee pads. Think outside the box. If I can’t find those things, my job would be horrible. I’ve got all her necessities ordered automatically. I have 4 years of food put away. Now I’m saving water. If it’s a food grade container, clean it out and put water in it. If it’s not food grade, fill it to flush a toilet. The big cat litter buckets are actually food grade. They hold 35lbs of litter. I fill them with Mylar bags of beans and rice as well as water.!’ Vitamins are under attack. They’re trying to make them a drug that need a prescription. Stock up now on vitamin D and any others you take. Take a first aide CPR class too. 😊

Powdered milk, it can be a lifesaver and you can also make cheese. All you need is something acidic such as lime juice, lemon juice to separate the curds and whey! Cheesecloth to squeeze the cheese into. Delicious.

A pizza can be made in a Dutch oven and the cheese added for a tasty snack.

I found headlamps in my local Dollar Tree . They use 3 aaa batteries . Couldn’t believe how bright they are and for the price of 1.00 they are great . I bought 8 of them for use and barter items.

Can openers don't last very long till they quit working. I suggest the military P-38 can opener. I have a hand dug well with a manual pump on it. Be careful everyone.

An old fashioned glass thermometer, if you can't find batteries for a digital one.

On the topic of infant formula...around the time of the 60's it was common practice to use Carnation brand Evaporated milk as baby formula. Nowadays I wouldn't, but in a pinch it would suffice, knowing it has been used and no bad effects whatsoever.

PET milk mixed one can of water with a teaspoon of light Kayro syrup works for infants. My oldest went a year on that cause no formula would stay down.

Being a retired oil refinery worker I have specific knowledge of what types of chemicals have the best shelf life. Gas loses its vapor pressure over time. Gas produced in the winter has a shorter shelf life then that produced in summer. Diesel tends to gel up over time. Lamp oil and propane are products that have a longer shelf life. Something to keep in mind if your stockpiling these items. Diesel and gas should be used and replenished. Don't keep longer then 3 to 6 months.

I called my doctor and asked for a year supply of pain killers. Apparently he's not a prepper.

I heard a few preppers recommend pool shock as a bleach substitute for purifying water. Many pool shock products also contain cyanuric acid - a stabilizer that extends the life of bleach in sunlit water...but it's presence is why you don't want to use your pool as a drinking water source.

Get some of those Zote laundry bars of soap for washing clothes. They are easy to carry and store. We use them when we go camping and we need to wash out our riding gear.

If you store water in the big containers outside, keep in mind where it is located and your climate. Algae will form in the type of containers pictured and in the colder areas it may freeze and crack the containers. To prevent Algae you may need to paint or cover the containers. If they are buried, keep in mind that you will need a method to get the water up out of the containers.

I don't have a baby but my cousin does and I added powdered milk for his benefit. Also, I have a can of powdered cat milk replacement w. bottle because after hurricane Maria I found 3 newborn kittens, umbilical cords still wet and raw. I tried so hard to save them, but by next morning they were all dead.
So, yeah, still a bit traumatized about them.

May i suggest Bike tire tubes and tire tubes in general and also patching kits/materials.

There are very few bike tire tubes made in the US. In fact last time I looked into it REALLY hard about 15 years ago there were none. In fact i couldn't findone in North America . That could have changed obviously and i could have missed one.

Also bike parts in general. Bike wagons as well Bikes are amazing if we run out of fuel or need to conserve fuel. Quiet, easily portable, easy to repair, etc. Preppers ideal fall back vehicle.

Protein powder, vitamins, superglue, extra boots, bulk socks, underwear, rain gear.
