In regards to your computer comments: Get yourself a Laserjet printer and a three-ring binder and start printing stuff. Not everything is already compiled into nicely bound books, so having the ability to compile printed info yourself while you can is invaluable. Recipe’s, notes, spreadsheets, checklists, etc.

If I had to choose one refrigeration option, I'd go with the chest freezer & freeze ice blocks for coolers for my daily food. The chest freezer almost never kicks on, as opposed to a fridge that runs almost constantly. And if all power fails, it will keep your food good for a week or more

A note on batteries Years ago I invested in Ryobi 18v. Literally hundreds of tools operate off that one battery. In addition to tools Ryobi has fans, lighting (lanterns flashlights work lights and spotlights) radios, mist coolers and pumps that run on that same 18v battery. Many of these items also feature USB charging. Ryobi also has a charger stand that allows six batteries to charge at once. Big part of my preps.

I’ve had my Delta for two years. I got it firstly because I live in a condo so gas isn’t feasible secondly because I live in Arizona and the one thing we don’t have a shortage of is sunlight. I just bought an extra set of solar panels and an extension cord and splitter. I’d like to get a second one this year if possible. One of the things I really like about my Delta is that I’m 73 and I can move it around pretty easily. Uses a couple of times during monsoon power losses and couldn’t be happier with it.

A couple of thoughts: 1) THANK YOU for understanding that even if the grid goes down, that doesn’t mean that every electronic device becomes an instant hunk of junk. I own more physical books than any one person probably should, lol (I was a librarian for seven years, so the temptation to buy more books is STRONG!) but I also understand d that our electronic devices will continue to be useful even if the internet disappears. The number of preppers who seem to think that their electronic devices will self implode the moment the grid goes down is baffling to me. 2) I’ve never heard of anyone else emphasizing how useful battery-operated tools are vs corded tools, but I’ve thought that for a long time. I can use my Bluetti to recharge a battery for a power tool, but cannot use my Bluetti to power that same tool in the corded version. The power draw is just too high. 🤷🏻‍♀️ So battery-powered power tools are the way to go, IF you’re focused on being able to use them if the grid goes down (and they’re just more convenient altogether!) Thanks for your terrific videos - I’m a big fan of yours. Keep up the good work.

I knew that you had mentioned a driveway alert and the magnetic door alarms and wanted to order them. My driveway is 600' long and I have had people walk back to my door without me knowing they were on their way. My German Shepherd usually let's me know, but not always so the driveway alert should help. I think I have everything that you listed in your "Recommended Prepper Gear and Resources" except the 12 volt fridge. Thank you for all your help in getting us prepped.

I add a plug like the ones used with things that plug into your cigarette lighter in your car. I have run 12 volts to all the bedrooms and living room. when the power is out we have lights, camping fans, and can charge phones and hand held devices.

GRMS is great for short-range, voice communications, as long as you can essentially see the other person. For over-the-horizon, regional, national, and even world communications, why not get a ham license and practice so you are ready for an event that requires that sort of communications? Studying for the exams gives potential hams an idea of how radio waves interact with the ionosphere, the best frequencies for day and evening and short and long range communications, and the different modes of comms, such as voice (AM, FM, SSB), digital (usually requires a computer), and Morse code. With some basic background info, a radio transceiver not much larger than a deck of cards, a long wire antenna, and the barest grasp of Morse code, you can communicate great distances. I have personally contacted London, England from the Midwest using a long wire antenna and a 5W transceiver using Morse code, and regularly communicate to either coast with the same equipment. It takes much more power to communicate via voice than Morse, and typically that equipment is heavier and more expensive. My point is to get educated, get licensed, and practice comms. Along with food, protection, and medical skills, communications will likely be one of the most important aspects of survival. A portable Morse code solution can easily fit in a large freezer bag, including rechargeable batteries, Morse code key, cables, antenna, transceiver, and other accoutrements. Check out DIY kits from QRP Labs, the QRP Guys, and other kit manufacturers. Search for POTA and SOTA ham radio activities (contacts that take place from parks and mountains) on KZbin to see and understand the portable nature of ham radio. You'll see big differences in the equipment required for voice operations and Morse code.

You're much better off building your own solar generator than buying pre-built, especially if you're not going to move it around. I have several small systems setup from 30w to 1000watts of solar power with 600 to 3000 watt inverters for ac power. The nice thing is the 3000 watt pure sine wave inverter can run my circular saw without issue and was around $400 a few years back.

If the collapse is an economic one, the power grid will still be functioning, but a lot of people will become unemployed and have difficulty paying their bills. Under such a circumstance, do not be surprised if the state or federal government subsidizes utility payments or places a moratorium on utility bills, like what happened in the U.S. with rental and mortgage payments during the first year or so of the pandemic. Your electric lights, centrally controlled heating and air conditioning system, regular electric appliances and communication devices will still get power from a functioning power grid, and you may not have to pay an electric bill. The federal government may even take over -- nationalize -- privately owned electric companies to make sure millions of customers will still have electric power and do not die during very cold or excessively hot weather, that clean drinking water is still pumped to residences and businesses and sewage is pumped to wastewater treatment facilities. If the collapse is a societal one where major sections of the economy stop functioning, such as what would happen post-EMP, many could die during the first few months and the survivors will not want to call attention to themselves. Gas or diesel generators are noisy. Wood stoves and fireplaces generate a lot of smoke when used. Gas-powered or diesel-powered vehicles also make considerable noise when there are very few vehicles being used. Under such circumstances, you will want to have solar panels and solar power banks, blackout curtails, solar ovens, rocket stoves (brief smoke until the ceramic chimney heats), rechargeable batteries for your radios, solar charged camp lanterns, trail bikes, perhaps a kayak or small sailboat for lake travel and hiking shoes. Consider what basic tasks you need done every day and how you would get them done without fuel or electric power. How will you pump/collect and transport drinking water? How will you wash your laundry and yourself? How will you have indoor lighting at night? How will you cook food without making a lot of noise or creating a plume of smoke? How will you grow some of your food? How will your preserve the excess harvest? How will you alert your surviving neighbors to sudden danger, such as a wildfire, tornado or approaching group of bandits? How will you make basic repairs to your home -- cover a broken window, patch a damaged roof -- if you have to do this yourself? Do you even own a hammer, nails, carpenter's handsaw and a ladder? Do you have any spare sheets of exterior grade plywood, corrugated metal panels, roofing felt and shingles, exterior paint, panes of window glass...? Do not count upon being able to scavenge free stuff, even if many in the population do not survive the first few months. It may be lawless and dangerous out there for years if there is a true societal collapse and not worth the risk of venturing into an unfamiliar neighborhood to scavenge.

If you are counting on the government paying your bills in a collapse you are kidding yourself! Look at Ukraine for an example. People are still getting evicted there today if they don't pay their bills. Every bill you have will still need to be paid right up until until very end.. even if the country went into a civil war, or was invaded. your landlord and your utility company are still going to want their money for as long as you use their service. You can count on it

@@jdlflagstone6980 I reduced my tenant's rent 30% during the first year of the pandemic when he lost his full-time job in the tourist industry and he had to get whatever part-time work he could. This was before any moratorium on evictions was in place. I did not want to lose a good tenant and have a vacant property that squatters might break into and destroy. Much later I raised the rent back to the pre-pandemic level after the tenant was rehired full-time by his former employer. The tenant kept his home during the pandemic (he is still living there) and my rental property remained occupied. It was a win-win for both of us. The government of a democracy does not want the majority of the population to rebel, overthrow the government, loot businesses and burn down cities. You can bet that if there is another Great Depression like in the 1930s, the federal government will do everything it can to prevent the majority of the population from becoming homeless and hungry. Government leaders cannot afford to do otherwise. And the government will do its utmost to keep the electric power grid functioning because too many voters would die without a functioning power grid. Ditto for making sure the majority of the population can get affordable or free electric power because many people would die if they cannot pay for energy to heat their homes in winter or cool them during the worst of the summer heat. Keeping the population alive is a national security issue and is a major function of government. This is different from giving away free things to the chronically unemployed poor during normal times.

I recommend GMRS radio for comms. Ham radio you can only transmit in an emergency if you do not have a license. You must take a test to get licensed. GMRS on the other hand is available to anyone. You also need a license for GMRS however, it is only 35 dollars and you get it from the FCC and there is no test.

I agree about the use of the camera and storage of info on your phone or “device”. Another added benefit of taking pics of items in need of repair is to at least be able to show possible ownership of said devices. Also it keeps you from possibly having to haul in a heavy item for repair which could also end up giving someone access to taking or switching parts off of your device that are NOT damaged to be used for their personal use. This is not another version of the take a penny leave a penny jar at the register. Lol.

Make sure you use an ENERGY STAR freezer or Refrigerator , they use only a small portion of the electricity. Thev problem with regular freezers is that the motor takes a big surge on startup, the Energy Star divices use a capacitor to provide the startup power so it takes much less electricity to power it . The capacitor recharges during normal use . Ive got an Energy Star freezer thats about 6ft tall and it uses only about 4 amps . The smaller ones use only 1or 2 amps of electricity which should be usable with a solar generator .

I think it's funny how people answer with yes or no... the truth is it all depends on the size of the emp, how high it is detonated and how close you are to it, for starters. The fact of the matter is even the most recent studies on the subject are unclear. We just don't know for sure Even cars. There's a lot of discussion on whether or not cars would be disabled. Hopefully we will never find out

Are you sure that’s not kWh per year? It may not have the wattage listed. If not, multiply volts times amps.

I have six 200 watt solar panels on my garage roof that powers an average size refrigerator, a small chest freezer and my septic pump full time. I often plug in a shop vac or circular saw as well. Those six panels charge four 100 Ah lithium batteries. Total cost including panels, cables, charge controller, 3000watt inverter, batteries, etc was under $3000. Note: I’m in western Washington state, one of the worst places for solar power and it works great. These new generation panels are very efficient.

FROM ONE WHO WANTS TO BE LEFT ALONE SEMPER FI "The most terrifying force of death comes from the hands of Men who wanted to be left Alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. The moment the Men who wanted to be left alone are forced to fight back, it is a form of suicide. They are literally killing off who they used to be. Which is why, when forced to take up violence, these Men who wanted to be left alone, fight with unholy vengeance against those who murdered their former lives. They fight with raw hate, and a drive that cannot be tathomed by those who are merely play-acting at politics and terror. TRUE TERROR will arrive at these people's door, and they will cry, scream, and beg for mercy... but it will fall upon the deaf ears of the Men who just wanted to be left alone." -Unknown

I see a lot of emphasis put on Ham radio's vs GMRS or FRS. Ham radio's are much more versatile and can have much more power but for everyday use when the grid goes down I think Ham radio's will be the least useful. Hams require much more training and programing when you will have the least amount of time to devote to that. In addition, Hams are always touted for their ability to transmit much further; that could be your downfall. The more powerful your transmission the more people will be able to hear you and for those that are looking to loot they will focus on you because it will become a known position that has assets.

There's quite a lot of videos on here about how to make diesel from plastic. I think the process is called pyrolysis fractional distillation. I could be wrong on that but the science is sound anyway and as a by product you'll get a shed load of hot water or flammable gas. I think we might need to go for this anyway at the moment
