I've been prepping for over 7 years now. My S.H.T.F. happened for me in 2020. I had a stroke, became disabled lost my job, and had to wait for ssdi to kick in. My preps allowed me to still eat and other essentials. It literally saved me a lot of worry and stress. Im now restocked up on my preps 🙏🏽

Funny thing is it’s called prepping back 50-60 years ago it was called saving for a rainy day or stocking up for the winter

[@TheSkeptic000]

I’ve got my food, water reservoir, medical, security and alternate energy and cooking methods. I live out in the country on a very defendable piece of land. I think being prepared gives me peace and calm. I know I’m ready and I’m unafraid. Being prepared makes life better even if I never need my preps. I pray that I NEVER need them.

[@mrmongo656]

Precisely. Rainy days are not at all uncommon. Where my mother lives in the Sierra foothills in California there are frequent power outages, and people there deal with that kind of SHTF situation. Road closures during storms are no joke, and it's good to have what you need.

[@flysomethingdamitdotcom8788]

[@gailoreilly1516]

Yes ! saving for a rainy day and stocking up for winter are both something my grandparents and parents did. I just thought it was normal living. I grew up in the north east where snow storms and ice storms were expected. I live here again and don't worry about it because I am ready. I am ready for a lot more now also.

I have been a prepping for 4 years. I now am using all my preps. My husband passed away in Feb. 26, 2024 and I am now on a new journey. Food is not an issue. I am good for at least 2 years. I now am following the 1st in the 1st out policy. I do can tons of things.

I'm so sorry to learn that your husband died. Mine went home to the Lord in 2021 and i struggle with grief every day. But prepping had made me feel better about making it without my soulmate. I'm glad that you are taking care of your future.

[@gailoreilly1516]

I would say that I have started prepping in earnest over the last 3 years including a garden, canning, back ups for heat and light. I have been alone now for years. Just watching the inspection sticker on my car still gets by me because that was something my husband kept track of. It is not easy but it is do-able. I am sorry for you, but eventually things will (mostly) fall into place.

[@tklube308]

I was prepping for quite a long while off and on, one day it came in handy. I was working as a maintenance mechanic in a factory that made body armor for the military, and i was the only mechanic on my shift. Well, one day i came into work with a note from my dr that i have been seeing for a back injury and was also going to pain management. I handed the letter to my supervisor, he read it, looked at me and said "we cannot accommodate these restrictions, go change out of your uniform and go home". Just like that i was out of a job and on my way to disability. My preps, especially food, are what kept me going until the SSDI checks started coming in. Point being, it doesn't have to be a world ending Z-poc where the prepping work becomes useful.

[@nmr6988]

Exactly!

[@shirleychase1033]

I learned this lesson way back in the 60's. There was a big blizzard that dumped a lot of snow. (Think yards, not feet.) My parents having gone through the Great Depression were able to feed us even when the power was out. Later, my husband and I easily sailed through the Ice Storm of 1998 that hammered northeast America.

[@rayoshields969]

Didn't realize that I was a prepper for a long time. I gardened and canned because I did it with my family when I was young. Camping was a fun vacation and church youth group trips. Saving was pounded in for tough times. My personal SHTF was being unemployed in 2009. Not having to buy groceries for 6 months helped. The guns that I've gotten were a hobby that became a little more so. Thanks for the video. Enjoyed as always.

[@carlnewman7096]

Hi All & best wishes from the UK, I've been a prepper for years & love the calm common sense approach that Scooch has to prepping. I have shared a few of these videos with my prepper friends here in the UK as its just as relevant for folks here. God bless & keep preparing.🙏🏼✝️

[@erikk.5202]

Exactly. Wise words.

[@bbol745]

Why prep for nothing to happen? Because its better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it. I live orange county NY, I drove to lake placid NY for the solar eclipse. EVERYTHING I saw regarding the path of totality was telling people to stock up and be prepared. They were warning of everything from traffic to food shortages, to power and cell network outages due to overloading. I packed my campervan as if i was going to the middle of nowhere for at least a week. I went up Saturday, stayed near lake George, Sunday I got to lake placid in the early afternoon and was surprised to see it was crowded but not insanely crowded. Honestly i was expecting something like those old black friday videos where the crowd literally breaks the doors off. Sunday night i stayed in my van in the hannaford supermarket lot and got up 7:00 Monday morning, made myself something to eat, and went to the viewing area. After the eclipse i stayed in the viewing area until the traffic died down and went back to the Hannaford. I went home Tuesday afternoon. It was literally nothing like the news made it out to be (as far as a problems, the eclipse was awe inspiring). The grocery store was well stocked, the gas station had gas, the power stated on, the crowd wasn't even that big (compared to what i was expecting), I could have went up with literally nothing, bought everything as I needed from the Hannaford, and been fine. I didn't even go through half of the food/ water/ extra fuel for the generator that I brought, but I was able to rest easy and enjoy the eclipse knowing that if the town devolved into chaos I could park my van and wait it out. Why do we prep? For peace of mind knowing that we will have the necessary supplies if it goes sideways.

[@JacobDrosdick]

I was in Lake Placid as well for the eclipse, but I didn't stay there to watch it. I actually relocated to VT. How was the visibility on eclipse day?

[@damienalexander3450]

I lost my a$$ and ended up living in my car for a looooong time. My food preps and supplies kept me going for close to 6 months before I had to dip into my savings. I'm rebuilding, now, but... it was worth it.

[@nmr6988]

It's great that you had preps and are now on the road to recovery. I've played a game with myself where I prepared to live in my car.

[@hanskloss1331]

no disrespect but I'm living out of a backpack granted a very well designed hiking backpack I learned real quick what I need and don't need I have essentially been homeless since 2021 but not unhappy (no drugs or alcohol) 2 things : move around A LOT and DON'T TRUST ANYONE

[@yosefmacgruber1920]

A car is much too small. Where can I get a deal on a spaceship? BTW, I am a _Star Trek_ fan even though I suspect that the manned moon landings were probably faked. BTW, a friend told me that school bus roofs are much less likely to leak than an RV roof.

[@yosefmacgruber1920]

@@hanskloss1331 I think if I was homeless and had not much of anything, then I would keep moving along until I am in some other country or some other area that has some opportunity for me. Unlike trashy homeless people, I would try to live proper in most every way that I can and be willing to do work and of course stay off the drugs. If I was eating out of the trash, I would put the trash can lid back on, and try to make it not too obvious. Prayer likely would have far better results than alcohol or drugs, to solving what often are spiritual problems. Our houses and cars and jobs actually keep us trapped in this has-been Democrat-destroyed country. They just are not very portable. Many of us Americans might have over-invested in our country, and not enough into ourselves and God's leading.

I would guess this guide: under ordinary conditions it will take emergency services 5 to 15 minutes after the call to arrive (depend upon location), in a natural disaster local and state help (both public and private) can get to you for rescue and removal in less than 48 hours (earthquake removal of items after arrival might take an additional 72 hours), federal coordination of restoration efforts will take two weeks.

[@doomedmango9654]

I don’t have a huge stockpile due to lack of finances but I have worked to fill my freezer and pantry with a couple months of food, including a good amount of frozen meat. I’m only 20 and out of nowhere with no history of them I recently had a bad seizure cluster that put me into ICU overnight and left me in the hospital for almost a week and out of work for longer than that. Reasons like this is why I like to keep a decent amount of food at home but this is the first time I’ve ever truly had to fall back on it a little bit. It was definitely an eye opener that anything can happen at any time, no matter how good of health you may think you’re in, and I’m glad that I had it set aside. 1 less thing to stress about when I got back home.

Wise preparation includes a well stocked workshop and knowing how to use it, spare parts, COMMON vehicles (since that makes cannibalizing parts easier), and consumables. Learning to repair and maintain nearly everything you use is easier than it seems and saves piles of money. For example if you do all your own vehicle repairs you don't pay shop labor, get instant service, and can buy then fix vehicles less prepared men would be helpless to work on.

[@nmr6988]

Yes, being able to make things, repair things, is paramount. Very few preppers actually can do that. I certainly cannot.

Because it saves you money . i have been prepping since the mid 80s . I have sold some extra things that I bought for over 15 times what I bought it for .

While my preps would be considered fairly lightweight to most, I do it because I have a massive anxiety health condition. Being prepared - even just having all the tools I need in the car in case something happens - relieve that anxiety SO MUCH. Learning about how to forage, how to garden, how to handle medical - relieves anxiety. And it's been helpful a few times, living on the edge of a rural area. I feel like a calmer, saner person when something DOES happen by taking just a few steps to be ready ahead of time.

Everyday I walk out the house with a daypack with another set of clothes, I almost live double lifestyles one for working man and one for homeless man 😂 All I have on me are just a handheld walkie talkie with long range antenna and a lot of food in the bag, that’s all. Hear something wrong?, move to somewhere else, never stay back and fight or keep supplies. 😂

I bought a above ground pool yesterday and it will be delivered tomorrow. I have had pools my almost my entire life. We bought a home in a different State and did not want a pool. IWe bought this one for the grandkids that visit and for extra water. Can you tell me how we could utilize the pool water for drinking for emergency. Worried about the chemicals.

[@richardelliott9511]

A retired pool service tech here, you can't render pool water truely safe to drink without an expensive reverse osmosis filtering set up or an energy hungry distillation plant. However, with minimal filtering, you can use it for all of your other water needs, like washing and flushing, which would greatly reduce your requirement for drinkable water. That might be satisfied with a shallow well or rain catchment systems.

In Australia they do salt water pools instead of chlorine, check that out they are way nicer to swim in and may work for your need.

Nothing ever happens,….you’re right 😮

I want to invest in a SHTF van. It would be a get out dodge vehicle/second home away from home that can go off road. Anyone else feel this would be a good prep? Ideally We would store it in a area guarded from radiation.

[@ThePrepperAlmanac]

Plan for the worst and hope for the best. And don't tell anybody you are prepping.

[@percisionshot4331]

I prepared for just in case. If it never happens so be it. Either way I won’t be sorry.

Better to have it and not need it than to need it..........

Stocking up on food is like buying stocks or gasoline: you buy it when prices go down, and use what you have whrn things cost more.

Financial collapse in 2008? First time I heard that was year 2023 and heard it mentioned on some KZbin video 😊 Maybe we missed that "catastrophic" in Finland.

Hi, anyone: I bought a cheap spare Cell phone to keep in my Faraday bag. But now I'm wondering if I need to activate it; will all the Cell towers be fried? Will it be of any use? Crystal in Canada 🇨🇦
