I have a DC fridge I got for car camping. It saved our medications that had to be kept cool and a bit of food during our latest hurricane when we lost power for several days. We also used our camping toilet when the sewage treatment plants shut down during the same hurricane.

Are you in touch with other preppers in your area? A shared expense is perfect for a freeze dryer. Honestly, it usually sits unused most of the time anyway. We have five guys in my area and we split it five ways to include the oil.

I'm not much for gadgets. We do have two generators, one for the house, one for neighbors to keep their food fresh. Also, 200 feet of extension cords. My list, 14 Fruit trees 20 Berry bushes 1 nut tree 1 grape vine garden tools vegetable seeds wheat seeds reloading tools reloading supplies canning equipment fermentation equipment a tarp big enough to cover the roof, scrap lumber and nails to hold it down and a ladder and a hammer The harvest from 1,700 square feet is only about 1/3 complete, we already have half a year's worth of vegetables in the pantry. We've fermented berries and pears. Apples and grapes up soon. After the fermentation produces alcohol it undergoes a second aerobic step to produce vinegar. To us vinegar is more valuable that wine or apple jack. All this on a half acre. And the yard still looks nice.

Instead of the butane stove, I opted for a Silverfire survivor and a biolite. One for large jobs and one for small jobs with a low level charging side benefit. Both run off of biomass instead of very finite fuels. I got panels, storage banks, and DC fridge freezer from Gosun along with two sizes of solar cookers. I'll use the freezer to freeze blocks of reusable ice packs which in turn will be used in coolers.

I have 2 solar backup batteries and 200 watts of solar panels. I have an electric rice cooker I can use to cook with. I have an electric cooler I plug into my backup battery. I also have an amp meter. I can plug my appliances and electronics in so I know how much power I'll need to run them. I have a dehydrator, propane stove, wireless USB fan, small heater, electric blanket, USB charging lights. Emergency radio, water filtration system. Almost all of my devices are USB charging that can be charged using any one of my solar chargers or shore power. I live in Florida and have been preparing for emergencies/ hurricane season since 2020. I add to my emergency supplies each year. I also grow a vegetable garden and tropical fruits year-round. I started prepping with very little money. As a retiree, the one thing I want in a power outage is to be able to stay cool in this Florida heat.😊

I went with the Anker generator and Solar. I also made my own backup similar to yours. 200 watt Solar. I like your vids and subbed. One thing you might mention is people getting water of their roof. Sometime ago I reviewed the issues with the berkey. I note that they didn’t comply with various state regs for testing. I still think they’ve stood the test of time and I’m ok with it. I am going to go with reverse osmosis filter you have. I also have a silverfire smoke free wood burner. Excellent for fireplace and people couldn’t see you.

Strangely enough I have everything you mentioned except the sun oven. Living in Canada in a rain forest counting on sun for much of the year is futile. A lot was bought for building out a step van so I have solar panels as well. I regard all these things as sensible solutions for travel as well as preps for grid down situations or other emergencies. We get November storms that take out the power lines every year. Good on you for informing people about more than the usual 3 weeks worth of food preps. Little old lady on vancouver island.

I have wanted a freeze dryer for a while now. My uncle used to sell home cooked freeze dried meals to his hunting and camping buddies for half the cost of store bought package meals. He also used to freeze dry candy and sell it at trade shows for ridiculous markups (a $1.50 bag of skittles can be split into two portions and sold freeze dried for $5/portion. people pay it happily for the novelty) between that revenue and his own food cost savings, he said the unit (well over $4000 at the time) paid for itself in just over a year and now makes him money. If you keep it well maintained and use it often, a freeze dryer can be one of the best long term investments you can make on a single appliance

Great video, Mahalo for sharing. But the 3500 predator overheats in hot weather, so it's useless if in the south. The 4550 is open frame, lighter, and cheaper and a much better inverter generator.

[@oldmanrock7542]

I have a coworker who has a craftsman inverter generator. He has the same overheating problem here in Texas.

[@fairplayer916]

Wanna add two things on the generator section: 1. If you have one for your house. Look into the NG converter kits for them. NG as in Natural Gas. Pretty much anything short of an earthquake, you're Natural Gas supply won't be shut off. And you can hook that up to the generator, and not have to worry about running out of gas. 2. Look into modifying the exhaust with a muffler to make them run even quieter.

A word of advice on ALL harbor freight gens...run them once a month whether you use it or not. The carbs are awful about getting gummed up with fuel. Use a good fuel stabilizer and run them often and theyre great. Leave it sitting with fuel in the carb and it will leave you hanging.

Generator noise tip. dig a hole, put the generator in the hole, cover it with a sheet of plywood... ya will need some kind of ventilation so the exhaust escapes and it can get some fresh air so it dont choke its self out from exhaust fumes. a piece of pvc pipe 2-3 inches in diameter through the ply wood on one end almost within inches of touching the bottom of the hole and leave the other hole open,, heat rises which will pull in fresh air down the pipe. works great.

Normal people, neighbors, criminals, yes they mixed in as well, walked in and even with the local police presence, just started taking whatever they wanted and walked out without paying The police nor store owners didn’t do anything. At first they tried but the numbers were too many. The store owners told the police they didn’t want any trouble and that they would have to throw the food out anyway within a certain time period by law. That they were insured for all of it Thing is, the people were not just taking the frozen food but dried and canned foods as well Anyway, bottom line, did anything here surprise me? No Anything you said surprise me? No I am a 16 year fully disabled combat veteran, 18b Also, as part of my responsibilities in training forces even outside of US troops I attended SERE training which was very valuable I was older than I’m much younger than that now 😝 But I’m disabled, so limited Throughout my military career I’ve witnessed many what people would describe as SHTF scenarios around the world Many were different in gradation but they all shared the same characteristics and even what you would consider normal people will do very desperate things for their families etc That’s not even considering what those criminal Components would do to gain access and control to resources thereby controlling the people So, it is always a good idea if you can have a Mix of dual powered traditional generators and solar And never let them think that you are in a better situation than they are They will take And you will give You will not have another choice I wish you and yours and this crazy world peace ✌️🇺🇸

​@@brotherinchrist72 if you rely on God to provide you warmth you will freeze to death. Me personally, I'm putting my money on the buddy heater to keep me alive. Your sky daddy won't save you. He will not keep you warm, he will not put food in your belly. You will die looking for anything you can remotely consider a sign that he is going to help you, and when you find nothing you will tell yourself that he is testing you.

Predator generators, frankly, suck. Don't buy one if you don't want to have to take it back.

Solar oven should work long term except maybe not in a nuclear winter situation., same thing with a power station IF you can charge it with solar...you'd then be able to cook with electric appliances, who doesn't want a EGGO or two just before a zombie attack....toaster, eggo , high powered power station...bring on the zombies.

Not true at all. This guy has been prepping for 15 years and doesn't need AI to tell me what to say.
