Got 1,parts are a problem, been waiting for a new speedometer for 2 years, dealers are dropping them for the same reason, have had mine for 6 years

What do you expect from an american built vehicle. You should have bought a japanese built ICE vehicle, eg Toyota, Mazda etc.

Spot on, Brock. A lot of preppers prep for extreme, very unlikely events. Like a complete long-term grid failure. It’s almost impossible to do this well. We need to get more resilient, which is a bit different than prepping. Our country and society has become extremely complex and fragile - everything is built for home run outcomes, but as soon as something doesn’t go to plan, it breaks down fast.

Interesting, can't really judge but I wonder if my Stihl MSA300 isn't has fast.

I've used a lot of cutting and grinding wheels and flap disks. I've NEVER thought of the thick abrasive grinding cut-off-type wheel as being similar to a flap disk! Makes me laugh.

So I have a 75hp loader and my 40hp tractor, but we also bought an older Komatsu dozer 18 years ago because we had a lot of material to move. That dozer has saved my poor tractor and bucket so much abuse or just plain and simple wear. Just like a mini excavator is worlds above a backhoe. A dozer is worlds above a tractor with any attachment when it comes to moving compacted material and the control you have while moving material. A mini is good, but a dozer will be great. You can cut the grade and slope as you work the material. Push the rock into piles to move with your tractor. A six way blade on the dozer makes popping rocks and stumps out of the ground easy. Every time I think about selling the dozer another project comes up that the tractor can do, but not as easy or as well as the dozer. Rent or borrow one and you will not believe how much easier you can get the job done. There's a learning curve, but it is not too bad. I have an operator buddy I call when it's a project that needs to be just right.

Love the humility! Thank you for testing things for us!

Thanks for the video. Great job on the review

Great job covering this topic without going down “rabbit holes”. I would like you to cover this topic with your ability to cut through the B.S. There’s lots of content on KZbin that does cover this broad subject, but I have always appreciated Brock’s words of wisdom for covering complex topics with a common sense approach. My take is water, food, shelter, health (including mental health), protection, and communication. I use this list in this order to work out a plan for every scenario that I can imagine happening to my family. One you address the scenarios and formulate a plan (this includes a hard copy printed and in the hands of the people you are talking care of), review it once a year and make any adjustments if necessary.

Other companies 2 series 45hp machines can do that too. My 25hp 2 series sure as hell cant and neither does the tym.

I am responsible for crisis management for a big global company. You absolutely nailed this Brock

What was the material you used

The first and most difficult part of prepping is acknowledging where responsibility ultimately falls and to take it back under your control. Independance does not have to be a dirty word. The second part is education: it doesn't matter how much flour you have in the closet if you don't know how to use it and eventually it will be gone so you need to know how to replace it or get a substitute. One of your responsibilities will be to teach others your skills so you stop being their Plan A. That's the "give a man a fish...teach a man to fish." The third is network: someone needs what you know or have, you need what someone knows or has and you need to be able to trade with them fairly. Those first three parts are almost free, if you are proactive and genuine with them, everything else is far, far easier. Being a Prepper isn't being a Minuteman, but it's part of it. Being a Prepper isn't knowing how to build a log cabin with just a sharp rock, but it's part of it. Being a Prepper isn't having a bunker stocked with fifteen years of MREs, but it's part of it. Being a Prepper is about finding opportunity for success >despite< the occurrence of a disaster and being proactive in that search >before< it happens. Not all shepherds have a flock and not all flocks have a shepherd. You need to know enough about the sheep so you can handle them at 2AM when they show up and try to eat everything in the garden. It's up to you to see them as a burden or a resource.

Dude or forefathers built with that dig it out and go for it I'm jealous. 👍 we have black dirt and clay👊

All good points the ramen stuff is only good for a quick warm up and that's coming from some that's consumed it weekly at work if you move around it burns fast connect with others and stay ready to help when you can👍🇺🇸

Wow Brock! You're like an onion, we see more layers peel off every day! I watch many prepper channels, that way of life was instilled in me by my parents and grandparents. Also, God helps those that help themselves.

Some of these pliers are slick as hell. I’m probably a little bit uneducated in them because aside from pulling cotter pins or needing a long reach…. A lot of these seem like the wrong tool for the job type. I always thought that the right tool for the job( correct wrench) pretty much makes most pliers unnecessary. Again, I may be completely wrong

I have only a day or two of food and limited water, i'm SOL if anything happens, making sure everybody knows this , i have no supplies

It seems like a lot of hassle to get anything warrantied out for the tool enthusiasts that don’t have access to a tool truck. It’s actually pretty shitty how ppl talk about snap on having the highest resell value, yet if I buy a used snap on tool id need a miracle to warranty it out if I had to ( lack of a tool truck). Sending it in often times requires proof of purchase🤷‍♂️

I have an underground cistern that collects the rainwater from my equipment barn. Right now I use it for washing and a shop bathroom, but in an emergency I could boil the water so it would be drinkable. Would be interesting to see what it would take to purify it more automatically.

My biggest prep, the thing I put the most time and money into and the thing that paid off the most was a college education.

Being a Christian wont matter. The Coptic Christians in Syria (oldest know group, spoke same language as Jesus) were slaughterd like sheep. Not sure why God didn't seem to care, above my paygrade.

What it's really like to be a prepper? You'll be the first target on the map. And I'm not talking about strangers. I'm talking about the friends and neighbors you've told about your prepping. You got chickens? You got eggs? Food processed and in pantry? People you know will kill you for that stuff before they watch their children pass. Mobility is your best defense as history has proven since humans have walked the earth.

Exactly! i tell people I'm 'prepping' for Tuesday. What are the things that are likely to disrupt my lifestyle? Mitigate them as best I can.

Will the frame take the load ???

90% of people prep wrong. Prepping to most people is guns and underground bunkers. Actually, number one is your health. Loose weight and be in shape. Everything else comes after that.

People say prepper/prepping like it's a dirty word. Being prepared is good sense.

First video I've seen in awhile, good stuff.

Them things are nasty dirty you working at for a while you're walking you'll smell like fuel don't fool yourself I had that one time I couldn't wait to get a regular furnace all of them furnaces the propane all they dumped all their combustion right in your lungs actually

Couldn't have said it better myself 🤜

Wonder if the overall system can handle this increase of flow and heat ?? What about other oil cooling systems up grade ??

are you a cristian?

I’m interested in preparedness, not interested in beans and bullets. Preparedness for the most common things that can go wrong……makes the most sense.

I have watched your videos in the past, but this one has convinced me to be a new subscriber. Very well done.

how much

Nice tractor love the cab wish I had a cab more so because of winter

Hi Brock Great video you couldn't have said it better. I live in Goodrich Michigan 10 acres bordering about 3000 acres of state land. I'm 70 years young still train at the gym 3 times and week and love to work on my small farm most every day. retired form my day job now. so doing things I enjoy like seat time in my tractor , or playing my Banjo or piano been trying to do all the things you talk about. seen a lot of things in my life. including trying to help my neighbor that got hit by a falling tree in his yard was a vary sad day he did not make it. but yes being prepared is key so vary informative. as it should open some eyes. thank you

Awesome approach to the topic. I’d love to see a man like you tackle the headache of processing biofuel!

You did a pretty good job on this one, your H20 project would be a good one. You did good research with this and hit on many really good points, I smiles most of the way through this because I have a lot of the things you spoke about covered and I do not consider myself a survivalist, but I did attend several survival courses while in the military but for different reasons. In my humble opinion when you touched on faith, I consider my trust in my Lord and savior the most important egg in my basket. Thanks for the time you put into this Brock.

We get called “Preppers” all the time because we have 6 months of dry and canned food stores, over a year of meat, back up power sources, fuel reserves and plenty of firewood. Before the “boating accident” we also had plenty of firearms and ammo😉. All enough for us, our kids, grandkids, parents and a few other families close to us. We 100% agree with you that being “Prepared” also means for every day life as well. Great topic for a video

Plenty of Beanz Bullets & Firewood ❗ oh yeah maybe little 🥃🍻

I'm the same way Brock, I'm the guy everyone knows they can call me and I will be able to solve 90% off their problems. I will admit it feels good being that prepared but it sometimes can get old. Lol... I might gripe a little bit but I will always be there for my community.

Great video. In a small neighborhood, we need to confine our stump fires. Many use an old 55 gallon drum, cut down or something smaller for smaller stumps. We need the HOA mafia to not know what we are doing

Brock may the lord bless and protect you and your family
