I love watching videos like this 😊 And I fully admit I have learned things that came in handy. But in the 50's we had no electricity, no plumbing, no phone and most of the time no vehicle. We weren't 'preppers', we were just raised to do the best we could with what we had. We bought nothing we could grow ourselves. I thought this was normal and envied the people that could go to restaurants and drive in movies. I see now I had the best raising possible for the crap show our country has became 😢

Im in Puerto Rico, I was here during and aftermath of Hurricane Maria 🌀, So I've lived through a total grid down, my indoor stove is a normal stove that runs on propane, so its automatically ready for a grid down, i learned a lot living months without running water and half a year without power. Today i have my own water and power infrastructure, my lighting is on its own separate grid like my rain water on tap and grid to run appliances, my shed and coop also has its own power and water infrastructure, people living in the Caribbean are experts on this topic.

Hi from Australia. My hubby and I are massive campers and I created my camp kitchen in a container years ago and I am so glad I did. We have been through bushfire evac, flood evac, flood bug in and just plain grid down over the years. My absolute favourite tool in my camp kitchen is my hand crank egg beaters, I use them for mixing everything from omelets to cake batter.

Hello from Canada. We loose power from blizzards and ice storms about once a year where I live, every couple of years it lasts about a week.
Good list. I add
1. Instant Oatmeal Packages-quick, easy, taste good.
2. Hard candy- boosts the spirits with a sweet treat and no prep.

I LOVE videos like this. I already have all items minus the coffee stuff since I am not a coffee drinker, so I don't need to go spend money. It's interesting watching people giving advice on how to stay safe. I enjoy yours a lot because of the way you deliver. Nothing glitzy. Just down to earth common sense. Thank you for your time and effort. The 11 minutes that we watched probably cost you quite a few hours. Keep breathin'.

Pour over oxo for coffee. Composting bags and pine scented animal bedding pellets for toilet. 7 day cooler. Usb rechargeable magnetic closet lights, tent fan with clip, faucet to use with water containers, shower head with bucket and last pocket hand warmers. Solar lanturns that charge usb. Mini noodle maker, low watt, has small pot to heat water and mini fry pan. Check out "living in a van" or full time rv for tons ideas, boodocking is rv off grid.

Morning coffee addict here. Believe me when I say that adding a spoonful of instant coffee to room temp water
IS better than NOTHING! Just stir and gulp. There's a LOT to be said for stocking up on the instant.

I live partially off grid. I build rocket stoves that can be used indoors for warming up soup, water that kind of a thing. They also are handy for taking the chill out if a cold room I also carry a rocket stove in my trunk with my camping gear. In colder weather I have a kerosene heater and several Mr heaters and a buddy heater or two I keep them clean and work on them when they don’t want to work. I save candle wax and reuse it to make more candles. Flashlights are a must have in each room. I also keep a relatively well stocked pantry along with a plant room where I grow salad veggies as well as herbs & green onions. I have a little mandarin orange tree that bears fruit. It is indoors until there is no danger of frost. I have orchids as well as other plants. Using inexpensive led grow lights works well. When you have a couple of solar panels it’s easy to keep the essentials powered up. One thing I do is some meat when I get the chance. This year has been the year of bacon bits & garlic butter. With heating costs, electricity and all the rate hikes it has been easy to back to how we did things 50 to 60 years ago. It!s a lot easier in most respects. I keep a very well stocked medical
Cabinet that will cover most injuries or illness. I also grow and dry herbs and teas for medical needs. My cats love the catnip. It’s always a good idea rotate pantry items so nothing goes to waste. To be honest it’s important to keep things on hand ; You will be glad you have

For the coffee people, you can actually just open the lid of your coffee maker and pour hot water over the brew basket manually. No need to buy anything at all.

I like the fire blanket for an emergency situation better than a fire extinguisher. Faster, easier and less after-mess. Highly suggest a fire extinguisher and a fire blanket.

tripwire alarms you will need . I use mine all the time. they will wake you up from deep sleep and let you know if someone is there 💪

LED "puck lights" with magnets on the back work really well stuck to the underside of the exhaust fan hood over your range. Position them so they illuminate the areas you're using to prepare and cook food.

After living with instant coffee for 11 days after a major hurricane knocked out the grid, I upgraded to a Melitta pour-over coffee maker. I have to boil the water over my propane camp stove (or a rocket stove, etc.) and simply pour the boiling water over my normal ground coffee in the brewing cone. Some goes in my cup for immediate consumption, but most goes in a thermos & stays hot/warm for many hours.

Bagged ice is a poor choice for turning a cooler into an old-fashioned ice box. Instead, you want big chunks of ice that will melt more slowly. I try to keep lots of ice-filled 2 litre soda bottles in the freezer, but gallon jugs are better.

Disposable plates are a good idea, but use paper, not plastic. During a prolonged disaster, there will be no garbage collection and smelly waste will attract wild critters at night. Paper plates can be burned.

Manual versions of can openers, mixers, grinders, and shredders are a "must" for any prepper.

Recipes stored on electronic devices should be printed on paper and bound. You want them to be readily available and not dependent on a power source of any kind.

I have grandkids over a lot so maybe instant oatmeal and complete pancake mix, the kind you just add water.

[petuniafuzz]

For the coffee addiction, I bought a couple of stainless steel, pour over baskets with tiny, micro perforations. They don't even require paper filters.

Dollar tree solar lights. Wool Sox, plain candles, freeze gallons of water in a deep freezer if you have one. Put 1 of the frozen waters in your cooler. You also have water in your water heater. If you have a grill, use wood in it to cook. Put dish soap on your pans or cover with foil, and it is easy to clean. Think camping 🏕

[rosehodgman]

I use solar charging lights in a basket per room. KISS.starting now keeps it perfectly easy when things get rougher I'm already used to bringing in my baskets. Its less expensive than than using the city electricity. The pets still need fed so I have a list of people food safe for my dogs.

[townvintage]

Fondue pots are handy. I cooked my daughter pancakes when the power was out once, I used a stainless steel frying pan on a fondue pot stand with 4 or 5 tea lights underneath and some foil wrapped around it to keep the heat in, it worked great.

[susanvaughn]

You should try one of the can openers that cut the edge rim of the can. It will leave you with a lid you can put back on the can, a useful tool.

[debzurawski]

Instead of bag ice, try a block of ice. A milk jug of frozen water stays cold longer than a bag of ice cubes and you can drink it when melted.
