30 Specific Skills to Survive a Long Term Apocalyptic Scenario or Grid Down

[@billbollinger3748]

Here, I have just been living life as a farmer/truck driver's son, and I have ¾ of these skills and parts of the rest of the skills, and each member of my immediatefamily has the rest taken care of. I wish more folks were able to grow up the way I did. Hope ya'll have a good time prepping, bc I know there's very few people like me.

[@kimberlysolimine3161]

Crazy how some of us take these mostly basic in our world skills for granted regardless the skills it would be tough its the ones without the skills I'm worried about

[@samanthabaker964]

Canning is waaayyyyyy easier than ppl think. Very valuable skill. All points of info here is totally essential for serious situations.

[@bigbird4481]

Especially water-bath canning

[@phild8095]

The equipment costs for startup can be daunting, but worth it. I figure every dollar spent on garden tools, tillers, fence and fertilizer should be matched by dollars in jars, lids, canner. Have you tried the multiple use lids.

[@brose2323]

Mechanical/ electric skills. Everytime my Freightliner breaks down im hit in the face with the fact that keeping a vehicle running is a quest unto itself.

[@ThaNobleSavage]

Nah we gotta learn the old ways

[@stinkendersahnebacardi3677]

Things I've missed, filtering water, isolating shelter, making bio fuel, actually cooking good and spicing, sharpening tools, massaging as well very important.

[@stevenmerlock9971]

Solid list of skills. Shelter building/repair, making glass and water purification are always high on the list of survival trades.

[@phild8095]

Nice list. This house practices about half of them. But there's a bunch of common things that most people should know how to do, but don't. Cooking from scratch. Baking. sharpening tools, gardening, growing fruit trees, bushes and vines, setting posts, laying brick, carving wood, construction, smelting and casting, fishing, tying flies, shooting, reloading ammo, archery, bow making arrow making, making vinegar, rucking, making wheels and carts, carding and spinning wool, weaving, attaching tools to handles, recycling lead, making maps, It is a big list. Having books on a subject does not count as having a skill.Having the equipment and materials still doesn't count. Practice. That is where skills come from. Knowledge, tools, supplies and lots of practice.

[@mrspleasants8529]

I live on the North Sea in Northern Scotland. I bought a barometer a year ago and practice forecasting the weather every day. I am getting good!

[@TomUncommonMusic]

Video starts at 2:00

[@kevinstoneburner1116]

Adding on to a couple of these: sewing/knitting should include spinning yarn and thread, and building and operating a loom. Canning should lead to potting, which is a more archaic method for primitive conditions. Net weaving and casting is as important as fishing, and will feed more individuals.

Surviving the apocalypse, brougt to you by Gold and Silver. Humans are the funniest beings to ever exist, what a shame we won't be here for long.

[@garytredwell5649]

How to make vinegar. Used for preserving food and cleaning. Self defense, karate or boxing? How to reload ammunition. Navigating by compass or using the stars? Sharing and trapping? Excellent video BTW! Subbed!

[@peterbehringer63]

Thanks...very timely video for character development in a self sufficient community that appears in a post-Apocalypic adventure saga I'm working on now...

[@vidterminator22]

Blacksmithing and Glassblowing. These two skills especially would give you and your group access to several other specialties even if they weren't otherwise easily available.

[@bobleponge1301]

I check every box except spanish. But since I live in Quebec, Canada, speaking french and english is OK. In more temperate climate I would add adobe and rammed earth construction, wood shingle making or tatching.

[@PpAirO5]

One way of making an adhesive/glue is overly cooked rice. The ancient japanese used sqeeshed rice as clue, and it works (maybe depending on what you're trying to glue together)

[@sydkaleemullah]

By far the most useful content i have come across. Even the comment section is awesome.

[@johnndavis7647]

You can make a Dakota fire hole In sandy soils by digging a trench and laying a tall bean can with top and bottom cut out in the trench. Cover the can leaving a hole in the ground at each end, one for air and the other for cooking.

[@johnndavis7647]

Having the skills and tools to sharpen hand saws and other tools.

[@pisom4314]

the footlock is a skill that goes right along with rappelling!!! both take some practice to get decent at!! thanks for sharing with us!!!

[@myname-mz3lo]

rappeling is not hard at all . most people learn on the first try as long as they know how to attach the rope to the rappel device or carabiner

[@gunsandgold2748]

I hadnt thought about a few of these. Thanks!

[@maryannparrish2570]

Very encouraging! / Also sparking (even) more Ideas .. Thank you!👌

[@joeyperez8581]

[@myname-mz3lo]

[@vonnie0_0]

I feel like it’s important to learn these skills just in case something bad happens, thank you for making this video. I’m going to learn how to sew as well.

[@waltermcqueen161]

How are you going to get raw materials for candle making after the apocalypse unless you take up bee keeping also

[@davidallcock6316]

Question ...anyone know how to recondition and reuse the lids of the mason jars?...when shtf new ones will not be available....I would also like to recommend learning about spinning yarn and weaving fabrics....building looms is not difficult...I suggest ...making yarns from plant based fibres is a first class skill

[@kimberlysolimine3161]

Scare crow ? I'll just use myself. People try to avoid me.

[@timelessadventurer]

These tips were more interesting in that they’re for the long term. Great video!

[@johnndavis7647]

Alcohol is also a clean burning cooking fuel if you have the right kind of stove.

[@unseenadventures8130]

Making alcohol has the added benefit of making yeast culture to be able to bake bread

[@apocalypse_guy]

Lock picking is also useful, I think

[@HelamanGile]

We all know it probably won't happen but it's being prepared that matters

[@antoncoetzee9996]

When you said sponsors i ran😂

[@littleredhen3354]

Wax is great if you have it, better still learn to make rush lights. Also be careful with lye water if you're making soap with wood ash, it's caustic, wear gloves and eye protection. I'm a jack of all trades, master of none but I can muddle through most things. As an aside, everyone should know their blood type because there may not be a lab available in shtf to make sure if you need blood that it's the right type.

[@kimberlysolimine3161]

Lol made homemade morrocas for my twin daughters tonight all off the land we have wild gords twigs and tree sap with some of last year's bean seeds I would like to learn how to make homemade paints from nature next as well

[@davidphillips698]

Thank you for this video. It was outstanding.

[@1985daddyd]

[@jasonbailey9302]

[@hauntedcaptainphoenix5363]

I want to prepare for the apocalypse with other people please join me. You should have put arrow making in this list.

[@MichaelR58]

Good video , thanks for sharing , God bless !

When it comes to weather if you can smell fresh water and you see clouds in the distance it's about to rain. If you see a lot of clouds like wall clouds style and you smell fresh water just profusely very bad storms will be incoming. Very bad storms can last hours to days. Sewing, knitting, quilting, crocheting are all relatively easy. As for meat smoking that's easy as well. Powder making is also easy. Herbalology is not so easy. Kindle making actually is pretty easy you'll learn it when you're a kid if you have crayons and lighter and you're bored. Plant identification not so easy. Music not so easy. Alcohol is hard to do but not bad. Adhesive is actually pretty easy to make. Making lubricants as easy as well. Knots are easy if ya look at a diagram and practice a couple of times. Rope is easy to make but time consuming. Great houses are easy to make with the right materials. Stealth fire is easy. Scarecrow making is easy for people like me who grew up in the countryside. Brick making is easy. Tanning is not easy because it takes time. My alt language is currently Japanese. I'm learning Spanish. Tire changing takes a lot of time manually but is doable. Clay works where taught to people in Nortenville Ky back in the 90's Foot lock climbing is dangerous.

Thanks ❤

[@danielearhart6467]

Making black powder? And just where are you going to get the bullets to put on the end of the used shell? Ok i guess if you just want to blow something up.

[@bonnieswenson9925]

Has anyone found a good( or GREAT) Book on natures medicinal uses? There's SO many out there, I figured I would reach out to the community.

[@johnndavis7647]

Learning to build box traps out of wire and wood for the defence of chickens and other livestock would be important. Animals such as raccoons and opposums would be a good source of dog food and even people food. Rabbits and other wild meat should be pressure cooked to kill any parasites the animal may have. Parasite levels are low in wintertime which is why we have hunting seasons in winter. But we have to eat year around. So pressure cooking wild meat is important for our safety and for the health of our dogs. Havahart Traps can be bought And similar traps can be built for very little money. Trapping has a learning curve as you have to find the best bait for the animals you want to catch. Best to learn the skill before you need it. If things ever go bad like in the great depression. The deer were almost wiped out. The daytime animals would be hunted out in just a few months. The night-time animals would still be around and could be trapped by the person with the right skills.

[@danielearhart6467]

Here's a better list of skills. Electrical knowledge, basic plumbing, how to cook from scratch, how to harvest water, how to filter water, how to setup security, how to use solar energy, how to monitor indoor air for co2, o, carbon monoxide, radon, how to survive nuclear attacks, how to minimize emp events, how to store food longterm, how to prepare for medical emergencies, how to heat and cool without electricity, how to stay healthy, how to plant a garden, how to plan and build a survival compound, how to communicate, how to defend yourself, how to shoot a gun accurately, and many more. Dont waste your time with alcohol and bees.

[@The_Trïzzler]

lockpicking is also a good skill

[@silasbchurchill1673]

Footlock is a climbing technic not necessarily a peace of equipment.

Learning how to make alcohol is a waste of valuable time. Buy it. Simple and lasts forever.

[@samanthabaker964]

WATER PURIFICATION!!! Simple layered drainage purifying

[@Eye_4_An_Eye]

we're better off with no alcohol or weapons. hopefully soon all those things go away for good

[@mintCAT666]

Daaaaaamn my fat ass is so much better prepared when I thought 😂

[@DhammaSojourner]

Lockpicking.

[@danielearhart6467]

Bee keeping is unnecessary. Natural honey lasts forever. Buying honey is way easier than learning how to and keeping bees. Spend your time wisely.

Making a scarecrow? I´d use my Mother-in-law.................................

best advice ever heard "if ur not valuable to ur group, kill them, because they'll kill u eventually." ur safer alone than with a group who thinks ur useless.

[@Ben_Mrson]

That sounds like a Cullman Alabama accent

[@kthulu2]

scammy commercial ad in the intro ??? sigh

[@leonardrobles4418]

Maybe its jealousy, and im sure i would do the same, you share great info, but i hate ur sales pitch. I get excited to when i see ur new messages but when u hear ur sales pitch i turn u off. Its all me, and like i said i sure i would do the same, just felt like sharing something honest.

[@standingbear998]

candles and soap making and most of these things are bushcraft or life skills, have nothing to do with survival.

[@femalej777]

👍

[@HaggardPillockHD]

Im sorry but you need to work on your enunciation : your odd pronunciation makes this video difficult to follow (i.e. your "barter" sounds like "border" and "illuminate" sounds like "eliminate").
