Is living in a city with an Air Force Base a good thing or a bad thing? Do you have advice for those who require prescription medication since this is limited to a 3-month supply?
Suggest that those of you who need medication think beyond the pharmacy.
If you don’t have one already, get a good book on herbal/medicinal plants that grow in your area and know what they are used for. If you don’t know your plants be sure your book also gives good pictures for identifying those plants. You can also find information on these plants, including pictures of them, on line. Information on harvesting and preparing them can also be found on line. You will quickly learn to appreciate and say “Thank You” for what you used to think were just lowly weeds.
For those of you who live where the pokeweed grows (poke sallet), gather those berries when they ripen. They are great for jump-starting your immune system and have plenty of vitamin C.
I am a senior woman who lives alone that does not have a close family. I currently work full-time and live paycheck to paycheck with no savings. I live in a 3rd floor low income apartment and just recently started storing up on “extra’s.” Each time my paycheck is direct deposited (required) I take it out and only leave $20.00 in my checking account. I think it’s very important to have cash on hand. I keep my gas tank close to full and have medical as well and non medical emergency supplies in the trunk of my car. Thank you Lord that I am healthy with no need for medication. Always been a believer in natural foods.
I’m learning much from your compimentary on line course. THANK YOU. ♫
I’m single in a rural area. I have an outdoor wood boiler and I need the pump to keep running if a power outage occurs so I can heat my house during the frigid winters in Wisconsin. What kind of back power supply do I need? Gas generator? How big? What if gas is not available? What about a battery back up system? I thought I saw on the market they make a box I can wire into my electrical panel that runs off a battery?? Will a battery survive and EMP?
Jackie you need to find out how much wattage your pump use’s then get a generator with proper wattage to run it..I would guess that a 3,500watt generator should run the pump with power left over for other items..If gas is not available you could convert the generator to run on wood fumes called a ”wood gasifier”You have to heat up wood in a box then hook up a hose to your carburetor on your generator,the fumes comming from the smoldering wood will ignite in a generator.google search ”wood gasifers”..With experimentation it will work..If you have a land based phone line you could get invention that drops the 50volt DC current to 12volts to charge a bank of batteries hooked in a 12 volt series,then simply buy a 3,000watt inverter to boost the power to 110volt AC current to run your pump.This phone adapter can be bought for around 60$ at >http://www.sandman.com/telco.html<Item number TLS9N TELCO POWERED CAR CHARGER
..EMP will not hurt your batteries only computer chips or electronics..Get a grounding strip for your car for protection against EMP destroying the brain in your car,hopefully the ”grounding strip” will discharge the EMP PULSE INTO THE GROUND,allowing your car to continue to operate..Search ”Faraday cages” to protect your electronics.An old micro wave oven makes a good Faraday cage,just cut the cord off..The link above this comment is http://www.sandman.com/telco.html
I know everyone hates to hear this, but HAVE (AND KNOW HOW TO USE) THE NECESSARY FIREARMS. Any truly large disaster ALWAYS brings looting, sometimes within the first hour. All supplies and preparations are worth nothing if armed thugs can (and will) simply kill you and take them. Rifles chambered for .22lr and 10,000 rounds of ammo are a basic. A good rifle – even a lever action Marlin 1894 in 44 Magnum and at least 500, preferably 1,000 rounds – provides terrific defensive capability and game taking ability. A good 12 gauge and large amounts of ammo are useful. Also, if things get really bad, .22lr shells or other ammo could become a form of currency. Maybe it’s because I am a veteram with a lifetime of firearms and hunting (I am 61, and shooting/hunting since age seven), maybe it’s the first hand knowledge of the world, i.e., it is a violent and dangerous place, but these are minimal suggestions. In a dense urban area, looting a violence will need to be combatted. In more rural areas, that will be a concern, but living off of the land be hunting will also be a central concern. In America, we have had the luxory of living in one of the safest times and places in history, but that is NOT the norm in this world. Bob Anderson
I am learning on a daily basis and will definetely being sharing with all of my family and friends.
Thank you so much!!
Buy guns, ammo, beans, rice, batteries (12 V Deep Cycle), inverters, solar panels, generator, fuel for generator, more guns, more ammo, more food, water purification tablets, toilet paper, internally secured hurricane panels (to prevent looting and home invasion), harden the doors and other entry points. Get ready. Be ready. Have a plan for any contingency and have your family prepared. They should KNOW WHAT TO DO in ANY CIRCUMSTANCE, AT ANY TIME OF THE DAY OR NIGHT. Practice your plan with your family. Make sure they know the plan. Make sure they know the dangers that will exist in any survival scenario.
I thought this very good for people in simple laymans terms. Easy To Understand. Keep Up Your wonderful work of helping & getting people to find out about survival , what to prepare for, how to get started & many other things.
Y’all have fantastic ideas. Do not forget to stay fit, get plenty of exercise and eat healthy now. You do not want to be weak and sick when you are called upon to help your family and others. This means to take control of the things you can. I have found buying “junk” silver (old coins with silver content) to be very cheap and easy on eBay. You can just buy a few at a time to have on hand. It is very comforting. Many things are still dirt cheap like, for instance, matches. Buying one or two extra when things are on sale will put no dent in your budget at all. Also, comb through your monthly expenses and see what you can do without. It’s kind of fun. Also, remember the Lord is in control so take time to enjoy each day too. Pray for new leaders and for our country and as the old song says, teach your children well. God bless America.
P.S. When the old stock market goes you will be glad you sold a little beforehand to get supplied as you cannot eat worthless paper. Preparedness is also an investment.
David,
I had a lot of trouble reading the words and numbers on the FRED GRAPH.
I did like the way you gave the “economic reasons” mentioned in the title, described the problems they created in Argentina (and will and have described the problem and provided one solution to it.
Thanks.

Thank you for producing the video about the coming collapse. I hope some how this turns around and we don’t have to go through this. I liked you idea of buying a little more each time you shop. I have used this method for a while and have accumulated food and other barter items. Thanks for putting this method out.

Survival if there is a EMP: wow, good example of what the stock market can have happen to u.s. like Argentina, (remember the great depression and the start of ww2) scary and very possible, that won’t just affect u.s. it will effect up North and all Canada’s sovereignty’s..Good idea to stock up on medicines, supplies and tools as well as other items for sustainability like alternators, hunting and camping equipment and communications and backup communications, water purification tablets and fundamental transportation like horses and animals can bring food, medicine: need the surgical tools to extract organ and related medicines from the animals like Insulin from dogs, calf’s and wild animals,. Weapons and many other things, they can be made from nature as while as man made. Make sure you have perimeter safeties where you are with contingency plans in place. because people will have to protect themselves from violence: If you had to protect your self from a killer, booby traps….Thanks Dave and all people here for you input..
Katharine:
You mentioned only being able to get a 3 month supply of medications…. Talk to your doctor and tell him/her you are trying to prep for emergencies and ask if s/he would be willing to extend the amount of meds you get. Insurance may not pay for this, but it would be added peace of mind.
And always store some clean potable water……(though NOT in milk jugs, which will deteriorate.)
WNettles mentioned hurricane panels, what are these and what are they used for, also how does one cheaply secure doors. Are we to put plywood over windows etc. ? I live on a fixed income. Thanks.
As far as being prepared for everything that you can , aside from the expense , is space , where do we store all that we need and how do we keep it secure and simultaineously stay prepared .
VERY GOOD INFORMATION.KEEP IT COMMING.THANKS.
FLOYD
Ben- Can you please explain the microwave as a grounding strip?
If you store food or water, be sure to rotate stock. A small amount of clorine
(launtry bleach)in fresh water will keep it safe to drink for longer periods.
I personally use 1/2 teaspoon per 3 gallons of fresh water. This seems to be
good for aproximately 3 months. (Don’t over do the clorine!) Use foods with
older dates, an date all canned goods. Check for freshness before using, wash
all canned goods, and remember boiling water (and cooling) befor drinking is
something to consider if you suspect problems with your water supply.
Thanks so much David for the great info. For preppers who are stocking food. If you can get 5 gallon buckets from tractor supply and the gama seal lids (search online) then you can store all grains, rices, pastas, sugars, and dry milk in bulk in secure buckets. You can buy “flower drying crystals” at craft stores, put a couple tablespoons of crystals in a coffee filter multi fold the top down and edges in and staple securely and place in the top of the bucket before you put the lid on. This will help with any moisture that could possible be in the bucket when sealed. You can also store in myla bags inside the buckets without using the gama seal lids. Buckets are about 3.00 a piece and the gama lids are about 6.00 each. We also purchased a vaccumn sealer and have totes of sealed foods. Meats and items stored frozen will only last about three months. We invested 85.00 through Walmart online and bought a pressure cooker/canner. Pressure cooked meats are delicious and have a shelf life of a few years. It can be expensive to buy all the canning jars needed but they are reusable so it is a one time expense, spread it out over a few months and it’s easier to buy what you need. You will also need canning salt because table salt has impurities in it that will cause cloudiness. I hope this helps some of you:) Have a wonderful day.
I was wondering about MRE meals.would this be a good thing and easier to store in longevity? Also,on the medication subject, after time, meds will decreases in potency so stocking up on them (prescription drugs)can not be a very good plan, and may not even be able to get them to stock up on. Any ideas? Herbs is the only other idea I know of.
I live in a 5th wheel camper, 42 ft. Just for the reason of low cost living, maintenance, and can pull up stakes and get the heck out…Any other ideas for survival in camper living??
Thanks!
To all, I think I wrote a few days ago about eglobalfoods.com
A little pricey but their stuff is delicious. Shelf life until 2026.
They’re based near Salt Lake City. Check ’em out. I’ve been buying extras for quite some time now.
I dont have anything to add,at this time. but i believe wha you are saying,and thanks for the info. al
My brother is stocking whiskey to barter. He said to forget precious metals. You need something others want. I still don’t see how to secure my house without looking like a nut. Any ideas? Thanks.
I and my family live in little New Zealand and like in the US everything looks like it’s going to collapse in every way. The International Banksters who control the world are hell bent on destroying and exterminating the masses worldwide. They are a bunch of Genocidal/Malthusiasts who plan to start a third world war and force everyone to take vaccines and medical drugs laden with toxic additives and adjuvants. make no mistake, get youself and your dear ones prepared for the worst scenario possible, because the day of reckoning is almost at hand. It has been predicted and even though I still hope that it won’t happen,Obama your president and our Zionist Prime minister are all in the thick of it doing the Criminal Banksters bidding and organising a fiscal default and slaugter of gigantic proportions.
mountain house sells freeze dried food in #10 cans. shelf life 30 years.
they are part of oregon freeze dry. epicenter.com sells mail order. light weight easy to transport too. very good verities. mre’s are good but not as tastie
Some ideas on securing your home from outside invasion with out making is obvious. Doors are the number one entry point. Install large slidebolt locks at the top and bottom of the door in the center. This will require drilling a hole into the floor and the overhead threshold to receive the slide bolt. This dramatically increases the strength of the door. You may even consider installing an old fashion bar to hang across the door to keep it from being kicked in.
Glass doors are useless, including sliding glass doors. Construct a bar gate to close over the exterior of the sliding glass door. Make it crowbar proof. You can have burlar bars constructed and painted that resembles the glass panes in a window from a distance. There will always be something you will not think of, so consider a hidden room inside the house for you and your stockpile. If they have trouble getting in they may assume you have something they want and will not give up easily.
Good luck
GO TO EVERFOOD.COM FOR ORGANIC STORAGE FOOD. IT’S THE ONLY ONE I HAVE FOUND SO FAR THAT SELLS ORGANIC GOODS.

Getting a good back up heater is good…Mr. Heater is a good indoor propane heater. The Crisis Cooker cooks with wood, propane or charcoal.

Tom’s idea on securing doors can be done for much less money by using a very low tech device. Just go to any hardware store and get a bunch of wood shims. These are triangle shaped pieces of wood. Then, to secure any kind of door, just wedge these shims into the spaces all around the door, ie, 3 wedges in the cracks at the top of the door, 3-4 wedges down each side of your door, and 2-3 across the bottom of your door. Anyone trying to open your door can push and push, and all they’re doing is just driving the wedges tighter and tighter all around the door. Also, for anyone trying to shoot through your door or smash it in like you see the swat teams doing, try to find 1 or 2 4×8 sheets of lexan and drill and screw them on the inside of your door. Lexan is a type of plastic, but it has a very high tensile strength. I used to work for a company where we would install these lexan sheets on the outside of church windows to protect their stained glass windows from vandals shooting at the windows trying to damage them. The company offered a lifetime warranty of protection. The lexan is kind of pricey, but you get a lot of protection for the money.
been preparing slowly for a year now, but it’s kind of overwhelming how much there is to do to “really” be prepared. I could survive a short interuption in normal commerce, but long term i’m still screwed 🙁
Sam, a microwave unit isn’t a grounding strap, it is a Faraday cage. Basically a Faraday cage is a space completely surrounded by conductive material (like copper mesh or solid copper). It blocks rapidly changing electric fields, such as an EMP. But it must completely surround the area it protects. Microwaves are good for this because microwaves use a Faraday cage to keep the microwaves inside the oven. Another alternative is to wrap what you want to protect in a plastic bag and then a couple of layers of aluminum foil, taking care that the foil covers everything and everything is inside the foil and inside the bag. Anything directly touching the foil isn’t protected, hence the bag.
AFAIK, a grounding strap will not protect your auto electronics against an EMP. Grounding protects against static discharge, but an EMP is a rapidly changing EM field, and it induces currents in conductors. It is the induced current that does the damage.
For more info, Ask Mr. Google about “aluminum foil emp” or read here: http://textfiles.com/survival/emp.pro
Also remember that an EMP means we’ve been attacked with big nuclear weapons. It isn’t a likely part of most social SHTF scenarios that do not involve other States attacking the US.
many times a pump will not be needed on a hot water system, the differential of the hot water will
cause a natural water circulation. The only thing to look out for is if you have a flow check, these are usually installed on multi zone heating systems, these need to be open for water to flow
Very hard to accomplish when the other side of you thinks your nuts
That would be the better half or so called
Very good information from all and a great idea to exchange ideas!
For those of you who don’t know what an EMP is get the book “One Second After” by william R. Forstchen.
Also, you can usually get FREE plastic buckets (with lids) at grocery stores, the bakery department. They get all their frosting in plastic buckets.
Don’t forget to stock up on spices! But like Dave says, buy ane extra different spice you like each time you are in the grocery store and before you know it you’ll be set. If things get bad and you’re forced to get by on rice and tuna (whatever)… it’s always nice to have plenty of onion, garlic, salt, pepper, and other spices on hand.
Thanks Dave!!!!
Having survival seeds on hand if you have some acreage is a good idea.
Keeping chickens for eggs and also a type of food storage is also a consideration.
I have enjoyed the lessons. Well done and informative.
Please be aware when purchasing items in bulk or at army surplus stores and gun stores that your purchases are recorded. Buy things with cash or in normal quanties. The advice of 1 or 2 cans extra of what you eat is great. And only buy what you will eat. Buying things to just have on hand and is not going to be used by your family, is a waste of funds, unless it is for barter. I purchase things that I use, with some extra for barter,i.e. baking cocoa, baking soda, things like that. Don’t for get about the hygine products like toilet paper, shampoo, etc. Also, keeping an inventory is very helpful. I just redid my extented first aid kit. Bought lots of one thing, and not enough of others. Hence, the inventory need.
Question: Teenage son, doesn’t like to hear about prepping or as he says, “Doomsday” sernarios or ideas. What is the best way to help him understand the reality and necessity of being prepared with out to much drama or anxiety being received?
I almost never read anything about people using old Coleman lanterns in their preps. They are readilly available on ebay or at yard sales. They are excellent sources of light and heat. They get very hot. I have been collecting them for several years now. Coleman stoves are great for cooking and they use the same fuel as the lanterns.
Very good info for the newby and the seasoned.
Very good
Who can I contact to check out my home and give tips on better security for such situations?
