I would add multivitamins as an honorable mention to this list. I feel like survival diets will need to be supplemented

That's the way I've been doing it for years now. It started with ammo, just picking up some extra here and there and putting it back. Then it moved into freeze dried foods, rice, beans, meds. I even did this with junk silver to the point that I have to find places to keep everything. Buy small amounts and over time you'll acquire a lot. Thanks for the video.

If you're stocking up on pain killers, then make sure you get both ibuprofen and acetaminophen. Advil and Tylenol are the associated big name brands, I believe. I have doctors in my family, and in high pain scenarios they've recommended taking both at the same time. One is processed in the kidneys and the other in the liver. So they can both be active at the same time without causing organ failure.

We used this combo once to help someone recover from getting their wisdom teeth out. They couldn't use Vicodin or any other heavy pain killers, and this did the trick.

The worst time to start your preps are after the disaster has hit. This method is so simple. Every time we hit Costco I get one extra of something; case of spam, tuna fish, veggies, Gorilla tape, even candies like Skittles (good for energy on long rucks).

Great video, I hope a lot of people see this!

Buy toilet paper for the house, but by baby wipes for when you're out and about. They'll fit better in your bug out bag or get home bag whichever and and you can easily carry a pack in your pants. This is experience from numerous field exercises and deployments from when I was in the army. Baby wipes will be your best friend (and they're much more useful than toilet paper.}

You know what, Sir, I have watched maybe 100 times your videos. I can't thank you enough. I am a disabled single mother on a pension, here in Australia. We can't have guns, here, and my budget means that preps are ery slow due to budget, but thank you so much for the constant reassurance. I might have three months of food now. It won't be a perfect diet, but there are calories. I bought a camp cooker, a hurrican lamp, a torch that you recommend, some candles, some cleaning and medical supplies, with your guidance. I am always worried that I have not done enough in these uncertain times, but thank you for helping me. xoxo

Love this guy. How great is that to have a funny, smart, reasonable, practical, informational source of knowledge? Priceless!

Great video! I'd like to add a few things to your list:
-extra tennis shoes
(Several pair)
-a really good knife & hatchet.
-a way to capture rainfall.
-a dental cleaning & repair kit.
(As the mouth goes, so does the body)
Thanks for all you do.

Every time I walk into Walmart or the grocery store for anything, I pick up 4 cans of food. It adds up.

As someone who has been through hurricanes, water is necessary and you can do really easy things to prepare for an event. Your water heater has a lot of water, fill bathtubs, collect rain water in barrels, etc. I live near a creek as well where I could pull water to use for non sanitary purposes. Many people live near retention ponds, ditches, etc. Any container can store water. Coolers, old milk jugs, pitchers, toilet tanks, whatever you got. There's no wrong way to do it but have drinking water or filtration available.

Another good video Sootch. I even liked “harbor supply”…. I also shop at “tractor freight” 😂👍

3M paper tape (micropore) is my numero uno med supply, covers cuts, scratches, blisters, temp splints broken finger, fixes fabric and light items in jiffy...

I like the three gallon plastic bottles with the spout made to go on the refrigerator shelf.. relatively cheap.. and easy to stack on the shelves in the basement

So, I have to thank you for your inspiration through this channel. Our ex-president(Jacob Zuma) just got jailed here in South Africa and all his followers strated to loose the lyttle minds they had and burnt and looted much of our country, the barbarics they are. Your channel helped our family immensly in terms of prepping. Thank you sir!

I found that an excellent way to store toilet paper is to smash the roll flat and then vacuum seal them in plastic bags

I have two (2) full bottles of hand sanitizer left. Kept our rubber gloves and masks, too. We live in a small condo. We try to use our storage space efficiently.

A Lighter, pocket knife, canteen and a flashlights. Great basic kit for home or travel.

I picked up a whole bunch of chef boyardee beef ravioli.. cheese ravioli.. and beefaroni.. 88 cents a can on sale... Taste really good if you sprinkle on some Parmesan cheese...
