War is Coming! Civilian Wartime Preps You Need to Start Now!

How should civilians prepare for war? Here are some basic ideas for that.

“War is a Racket” by Smedley Butler… a must read/listen.

Some excellent content. I know that I am not as prepared as I need to be, and am working to change that. My wife and I have been married 14 1/2 years, in that time we were forced from our apartment at 4:30 AM when our building erupted in flames. They found PFAS in our local city water supply and of course, COVID-19 and we were overseas in the Philippines when lockdowns and travel restrictions were being imposed Internationally, thankfully we made it home. All of these events carried with them different challenges, which is helping me to really think hard about the types of disasters we face and everything from EDC to get home bags, including strategies for getting home while travelling internationally.

Thanks!

Dont forget seeds! Grow a garden to have fresh food to supplement your canned/preserved food.

Tied into your Grey Man video - stock up on food, but also get in line like your neighbors so they don't start asking questions.

The point made on a storm knocking out the power fire a couple days is a great place to start. Winter storms can also close down roads for a couple days, and there's really no need for those things to be a huge deal.

It's intimidating thinking about starting on long term plans, so just start with the ability to get through a couple weeks in case of a natural disaster, then grow that to maybe a month or two. It snowballs so easily, and so much is learned in just the small exercise. And even in boring day to day life, it's nice to just say "I don't feel like grocery shopping this week", or not having to go shopping within an hour of getting home from a vacation or whatever.

This has been my main reason for building my bugout/get home bag. I live near one of the larger cities in California and given the already restrictive nature of how things are done here, war would touch us hard. I have places I can go in an emergency, to get away from people, but if infrastructure fails or there is an attack that knocks out the ability to communicate or travel through traditional methods, I have a VERY long walk to get to someplace safe, so I really want to be ready for that possibility.

Be ready to take care of yourself and your immediate family. Be willing to help anyone who asks. Don't brag about your supplies. If you believe, pray daily. Always Be Kind. If the SHTF, you will know what to do and how to do it. May God bless America.

I live in Houston and last week we had our "practice" hurricane.

I stumbled on your videos about three months ago, because I was looking over my emergency preparedness supplies and seeing what I needed to restock on and what I can add to the supplies.

Your video didn't mention meat, during World War 2, meat was heavily rationed for the war effort. Even if the next war doesn't require ten million soldiers, the cost of fuel will make it more difficult to get cattle to the markets and from ther to the store shelves.

Another great video,
I stocked up on reloading components (powder, primers, bullets, and I save all my brass), so that I have the ability to reload my spent cases. Also, all my reloading equipment is portable, everything I use to reload my own cartridges is "grab & go", so that I will have the ability to reload from anywhere. None of my reloading equipment is bench mounted.
Thanks for the tips.

My first viewing of your channel. Well done. Unfortunately, I also believe that we may be headed for more difficult times. The weakness we display to the world's dictators only invites more evil from them, and further alienates our allies. It is true that there is only "peace through strength". All the best for this Thanksgiving holiday to you and your family.

[PastorDwayneLloydCarr]

Really straight up well put nothing irritating about the video damn good job!!:)

[virginiawestcot]

Great advice as always on any subject. I have been telling my friends to stock up for several years now.

[gohammergo]

Commenting to help the channel. 😊 I like the message you are sending. 👍👍👍

[richardocain]

Very level headed and well said on what the cause and affect of a WW3.

[stevemorris]

Very well said buddy this situation that is happening could be resolved by just rational thinking and talking with each other and happy Thanksgiving to you and your family

Considering the subject, a very calm and not-alarming presentation. I am not comfortable with guns in my house for a number of reasons, and honestly don't think they'll help us (us meaning my household) in any foreseeable situation; i recognize that i am in the minority of preppers in this opinion. I have nowhere safe to store any quantity of petrol on my property, but we're doing pretty well on everything else. I have a well, a way to power it, ways to clean the water if the UV light is out (crazy high power draw on that), 25 gallons currently on hand, and a 10, 000 gallon pond i can draw from, in a pinch. Enough food to get through at least 90 days, probably more. And a whole house generator to keep us going at least 14 days, plus multiple solar charged power banks. Even with all that, i worry that it won't be enough, when a hurricane actually hits here directly. I definitely need more food and water stores, and want to look into an electric thing that hopefully isn't a bike, because i never learned how to ride one - maybe a tricycle? 😂

Thanks, as always, for explaining things clearly and calmly.

Great video and message as always! Happy Thanksgiving!

Have 2 years of preps and multiple ways to filter/purify water when my stores run out. I only have 100 2L bottles of water i refill annually and can uae for cleaning or cooking. I know, plastic bottles are yucky but, you gotta work with what you have. Been planning on putting in a 500 gallon water tank in the basement.
Biolite camp stoves with USB chargera work well as a multi fuel stove.

It's more likely now than ever that conflict comes to America. Patriotism is lackluster in some areas and various factions want to take a bite.

Outstanding video my brother. Unfortunately I believe foreign adversaries are entering our country as we speak. If the balloon does go up, there will be skirmishes within our borders. Like where you said “prepare for the worst, hope for the best”. God be with us all.
