Thank you so much!

I plan on making a water bath video! Canning has a lot of rules, so I didn't want to bog down this video with that. It will be coming soon!

Thank you!

That is a great tip. We don't really have any thrift stores where I live. We have one Goodwill but it is always well kicked through by the people that work there. Many people also use it to make extra income. They get there as soon as it opens and collect all the quality items so they can resell them on the Facebook marketplace. By the time someone like me can get to the store everything is well picked through. I'm always jealous of all the people who find treasures in local thrift shops or garage sales.

Getting off the ground must be really nice.

The sad part is I live in Minnesota. The experience I have is from the Global Pandemic in 2020. When we were all stuck at home, staying as comfortable as possible was very important. The other is rising inflation. Not being able to afford to go anywhere or do anything again being as comfortable as possible inside our own home is very important. What also comes with inflation is the inability to replace expensive items. Maintaining and repairing what we already have is key to keeping a "normal" way of life. Even with all the riots and looting that happened here in Minnesota being able to stay put inside the comfort of my own home kept my family and I far away from any danger. So even though a chair and couch might not seem like the most SHTF things to focus on, having them has already in my lifetime been a huge blessing in multiple different situations.

You could find ways to make it cheaper and save money, and I try to buy whatever is on sale. However, for us, it works out to be the same as what we were spending on kibble.

@newageselfreliance Neat. Same price for alot better food.

Glad you enjoyed it

There are different types of 300 Stainless Steel. So 316 is more "rustproof" than something like a 304. All metal can rust if not taken care of. Putting any SS container away wet can lead to not-so-desirable outcomes. You also have to take into consideration what the weld is made of. If it's one pressed piece it is all the same metal. However, if two halves are welded together, the weld could lead to rusting or pitting. All in all, if you buy a quality container and take good care of it, it should last a lifetime.

@newageselfreliance My concern was more about health. I'm looking to get away from plastics. Stainless would seem like a safe option because if it doesn't react to the environment (water) , then it stands to reason that none of the metal is goo g down the gullet. But if it's rusting, that would indicate that possibly some of the metal will be consumed. Either way, I do appreciate your response. This was the first vid of yours I had watched and it was very good. Look forward to checking out more of your stuff.

@@ronfox5519 When you drink from a metal container you do taste the metal. I don't know if that means I'm drinking metal, but it does mean that there is something about the metal that is making the water taste different.

How do you get prescription pain kills and narcotics???

@@newageselfreliance All sorts of places, growing, synthesis, black market, lesser known grey market sources like unwashed poppy seeds.

@@newageselfreliance But to be honest, narcotics, although helpful for painful situations, are not strictly necessary for survival and there are substitutes like weed, alcohol, and other pain killers, so, probably best to stay away if possible

I'm not sure what connector you are asking about? Here are some affiliate links but just so you know I have zero experience with either of these products. I suppose the best way I could help is by telling you the names of everything so you can research what you need. The male and female connectors are called MC4 connectors. The red and black connectors are called Anderson Connectors. There are different sizes of Anderson Connectors, they use Anderson Connectors on Forklifts and Heavy Machinery. However, if you look up Solar Panel Anderson Connectors you should find what you are looking for. Here are the links I promised earlier. They don't have many reviews but it's the best I can do. Anderson to MC4 amzn.to/4eJzhlU Anderson to Split Anderson amzn.to/3zyT5bq

I'm really glad I could help.

Thank You I really appreciate the support.

I will have to look into that one. I appreciate you giving the part number so I can actually look up what you are talking about.

That would work. I like to show products as is so people watching know exactly what they are spending their money on.

Thank You.

I might have to try that. Right now I'm using a piece of white Pex. It works well but the softer water hose might work even better.

🙏👍😀

Ryobi makes all of these tools. Project Farm actually has a video where he tests a bunch of cordless screwdrivers and the Ryobi is the worst one he tests. I wish I would have seen that before I get these.

Thanks

It has a digital shut-off that just automatically shuts off power, or does a person still have to physically shut the power off? I'm not a big fan of the idea that a computer is making that decision. If someone hacked into the system everyone could be without power for no reason at all.

One puppy was more than enough work for me. I can't imagine training two at time. What kind of dogs did you get?

Get a big backpack and a bicycle. You can carry everything you need and more in a backpack. The same thing will hold true though. You will carry more than you need in your backpack and as you get more and more comfortable your backpack will get lighter and lighter as you start to leave more and more at home.

Good to see you again. 👍🙏

I feel like I will always be a beginner. There is so much to learn.

Doing the job correctly is the hardest part. I've learned to slow down and make sure I'm doing things correctly and not just the way that works. I find that the proper way lasts longer and turns out to be less work in the long run.

This has aluminum bucking spikes. They do work pretty well.

I know; but I believe in your video you were having difficulty coming up with the correct term for them. Just trying to be helpful.

@@John-cj3ve I can use all the help I can get. Thank You.

I'm glad you enjoyed the video.

It's getting harder and harder because fewer people are getting into the trades and fewer people are fixing things themselves. The amount of business is going WAY up and the amount of employees is going WAY down. I really wonder what is going to happen 20 years from now when all the good trade employees retire?

That would work. Do you think it would get to heavy for a belt?

Parts are the worst. You would think that by now everything would be universal. Why does Every Single Thing need completely different parts? I was going to keep some of the parts off my old dishwasher for the new one. Other than the hoses, not a single other part was the same. They are two completely different machines that do exactly the same thing. It drives me crazy.

Do you think Where There Is No Doctor is worth having or do you think just having The Survival Medicine Handbook is good enough?

@@newageselfreliance WTIND seems geared more for starting a clinic in a foreign (i.e., more equatorial) country with a very uneducated populace, and is now somewhat dated (I have the 3rd printing from 1996), but still has lots of useful info. Both are comprehensive and useful to the average person, but if I had to choose, I would go with TSMH.

It works well for boiling water and making soups.

It is a stainless steel belt clip.

I really like the work Ifixit does with Right to Repair. I really like the Klien set but I might also buy the Ifixit just to help support the cause.

That red notebook has saved me hours of not having to figure out the same things over and over again. Just having the breaker number for each outlet and light fixture has saved me tons of time and frustration. It's a good idea for everyone to keep records of things.

How do you protect your garden from rabbits and insects? We lose so much of what we grow to the wildlife in the area. We even have birds pull the seeds we plant right out of the ground after we plant them. We have 6 raised beds that are about 12 inches high.

It is a really good book.

My issue is that a lot of my favorite gear isn't made anymore. They don't make the tent I use anymore. They don't make the chair I use anymore. I could make a video going over what you will need but I won't be able to go into specific name-brand gear.

Thanks. It's an old hoodie I got from Wal-Mart. I like it because it was affordable.
