Cheap items you can never have enough of is tarps and rolls of poly. As someone that has the worst luck for being hit by tornadoes these are critical. Being able to temporarily fix a roof greatly reduces damage and allows one to stay in their home.

City of Odessa, TX turned off it's water yesterday due to a leak. Today they turned it back on and issued a boil notice, that's why you have to have water for emergencies cause you never know when this will happen!
@Nisa-gm5wg7 ай бұрын
City turned off our water as well during the winter storm 2021 in Memphis Tennessee. I had plenty drinking water but not enough to flush the toilets. Thank the Lord I had plenty of snow ( shoveled it in buckets and melted on top of the stove). I learned my lesson. I keep 10 5 gallon jugs of water in my pantry as well as 10 cases of bottled water. If I know in advance that a storm is coming then I also fill up the bathtub’s too.

Since it’s getting closer to summer and I never seen a prepper talks about it. I used a thing called reusable neck cooling ring last summer and purchased a lot this year. They cost from a few dollars to 20 depends on the brand and the variety. I tend to get the 28c version which will auto refreeze under 28c and feels like 15c on your neck. You can put it in the fridge, freezer or just water. No electricity required. Very good for the kids because you don’t need to worry about them handling a mini hand hold fan on the street. The one I’ve got last about 2hrs at around 30c then I grab another one. Got mind from Amazon Uk, not sure are they available in the US. (This is not an ad 😂)

I love those string lights, I have several that are USB to pair with battery packs I have around the house. I can have one in the kitchen, one in the living room, one in the bathroom and cover most things. Each string light uses 3-4 watts so those battery packs go a long way. If I want something smaller a USB keyboard light stick only uses 1 watt, lights up a bathroom good enough to see what you're doing. Also can pair it with a smaller battery pack. I have a lot of batteries for my Dewalt Drill and Blower, so I bought some lighting as well that can utilize those batteries since I already have them. Works great.

I'm thinking that J.R. and I must be twins separated at the orphanage. My wife and I both have Broncos (she, the Baby Bronco...) and we keep a plastic tub in the back end with our EDC/Emergency stuff like tire plugs, air compressor, traffic cones, lanterns, small tool kit, etc. We also keep a sewing kit, duct tape, electrical tape, zip ties, paracord and all the other stuff mentioned in this video. Guess what?--over the years of carrying stuff like this, it is the zip ties, tape, superglue and paracord that gets requisitioned most often. On the waterproof matches, we just make our own out of strike-anywhere and candle wax. Learned the hard way once to coat the entire match stem as water CAN get soaked up by the wooden stem. On the old hurricane wick lamps, in a pinch they'll burn veggie oil and other types. In a pinch, as some oils soot more than others!

Greetings from Tennessee. While they don't always have them in stock, if you have a Dollar tree check with them because they have the wound care kits like the one from Walmart and they're only $1.25 each. Since the boxes are a bit bulky, I put them in the bread loaf size clear totes they also sell for $1.25. You can get 5 or 6 in a tote.

Great video, thanks for sharing! Always good to remember the basics. First aid supplies do have a “best before” in the U.K. so always a good idea to rotate if possible. My mums “emergency first aid supplies” were essentially pouches of dust…so heads up preppers: check your 15 year old first aid kit over. 😅 We love those compressed towels. Great for toddlers sticky fingers…not just butt related 😂 Love garden sprayers for washing dishes/washing people too. Although not the same one that had chemicals of course!
