@@ahomesteadjourney You are very welcome! BTW, did you guys decide on a location for your next homestead? I am researching areas to move to in a few years, and get a small plot of a few acres to put a tiny home on and maybe have a small garden and a few animals! Mostly to relax in nature though! Your video discussing Greenville reminded me to reconsider that area, since it's nice there and also a little cooler than other parts of SC. Would love to hear you and hubby's thoughts in one video on TX vs. NC vs. GA vs. FL. I also saw that you visited Virginia, I actually live in Northern VA now and was thinking about staying in state but just in a cheaper area for buying land. It's really expensive here but there are lots of reasonable, beautiful spots outside of the metropolitan areas! 😂

Great video!!! I love using plastic storage containers in my storage unit. They are great at protecting your items from water, pests, and dust, dropping because of the better handles, etc. These are great for stacking, etc. Cardboard boxes destroy components inside if the cardboard gets wet, if the have handles in the cardboard boxes, they let in pests and can tear. At $8, those are a steal!!! The dog food containers are great also. I can not afford the generators at Costco, and I can't own chicken coops where I live currently, both of these are great for those that can have and afford these items. The batteries, water, and toilet paper are great buys. Life Gear flashlights/glowsticks are awesome too.

​@@ahomesteadjourneyIf you go to the deli in Malwart, they'll either give 5 gallon buckets for free or at my store, they sell them for $1 each. Then, put heavy contractor bags in the hole first, carefully so as not to tear them on roots or sharp rocks. Twist up the tops of the bags and tuck down. Fill and cover the tops with flat rocks if you can to keep animals from getting at them. Just my method. Others might have a better way.

Butter beans sometimes, like now, at my $1 Tree. Love 'em! I have 3-4 flats of cans. Also, Kingsford baked beans! I get the big glass jars of Kraut at Malwart, which are god-awful but only $2.18 for 2 pounds. Strangely enough, the same brand in cans is pretty good.🤔 It's a bit more expensive though. Half a bowl of beans, the other half with kraut, and then smother the kraut with honey mustard (or any other actually). Put in the oven till warm. Cheap and yummy.👍

I'm glad you're ok and survived the tornado power outage. If I could store a gas powered generator and gas I would. I don't have a car so I don't need the gas for it. I do have a few small solar panels which work great and I collect solar lights from IKEA. They work to charge on my window sill or outside, as do my small backpack sized solar panels. I don't have too much cash in general, but always try to have bus or cab fare when I have it. It's a good idea. If there was an EMP I have a few candles, but if you burn them, you won't have them when you need them. I can't deal with the smoke from oil lamps but think they're a great idea for other people. I have them for decoration. Perhaps I should get some citronella oil so they can be used outside and repel bugs at the same time. I recently purchased (from a thrift store), a forever flashlight. My theory is that since it has no battery storage or power connection to such things (It only lights up when it's being cranked), it should survive an EMP. If I likewise survive an EMP to crank it up, I guess I will find out then. Good ideas. Keep helping others.

Cash on hand. Almost no one who is not a boomer Carry’s or keeps any cash. We keep 5K in the fireproof gun safe. The generator means you need to store some gas. If you do get the good Wavian gas cans and treat it when you bring it home. We keep our 110 gallon tank of off road diesel for the tractor full and we keep 50 gallons of gas. Oil lamps. We have bought 10 feurhand lanterns and 100 feet of spare wick. We have numerous glass ones that work as well but the lanterns can be hung which we have done.

Good video! I believe if there's anything we should have for for if/when SHTF it's a library of good hard copy foraging books. Gardens are great but you can have bad weather years, especially since the guv is modifying and weaponizing the weather now. Also, They will likely confiscate ALL prep food if it's not well-hidden or buried in the middle of nowhere (don't neglect to rotate, folks). Lastly, there are the marauders and just plain hungry people tring to feed their families. Many "weeds" have equal or superior nutricious and medical uses to garden plants and they don't have bad weather years as a rule.

You survived a natural disaster with everything you have mentioned, and thats great. But none of that will do you any good when you are faced with a SHTF senario and you have to bug out. Cash will become useless, the electrical grid will go down, and there will be no running water. What will you do then, even if you bring these items with you, in the end they will do you no good. If by chance you can make into the woods the last thing you want to do is make noise that will give away your location, so your generator and gas will become useless. Over the last 3 and a half years a lot of bad people have crossed our boarder, people who hate this country and will have no problem destroying this country from within. Since our boarder has been opened up over 120+ food facilities have been burned to the ground, and this was not by accident.We as a nation are in grave danger of our infrastructure being taken out by these people who have come here illegally and our so-called government is not going to tell us about it. Remember: it's not if, but when, and it will happen! You might want to reconsider your survival preparations, if not for you, do it for your children.

Very good points! Thank you! I bought a really amazing lamp from Lehman's. It is much brighter than a conventional oil lamp, which I also have. It has a mantle like a pressure gas lamp has, but it doesn't have the pressurized fuel. So it isn't like a 100 w bulb that the pressure gas lamps are. But it is very bright, and puts out a lot of heat which is great in colder weather. It was expensive, and it is quite fragile. But for all of the heat and light it provides, it is great if you don't need to carry it around.
