Oregano tincture is an antibiotic. Knocked out a sinus infection for me more than once. I use the essential oil as well. Mix 80 proof alcohol with dried oregano, make sure herb is covered. Let sit for 6 to 8 weeks (shake occasionally), strain the oregano. Voila! You have an antibiotic tincture you can take internally.

I'd add backup eyeglasses and a supply of contacts and solution. For contacts, access to clean water is essential, so having pairs of eyeglasses should definitely be prioritized. Whenever I go for my annual eye exam, I always order new glasses, even if my Rx hasn't changed much. As long as my insurance covers a new pair annually, might as well get them and have backups and redundancies.

Spray foam is not a good long-term prep. It has a short shelf life. Usually about one year from manufacture and unlike canned food, it is a pretty firm date.

[@pt2575]

@@richardelliott9511 Thank you for the information. Have an older house and seem to be well stocked with little holes & crackes. 😊 Hadn't thought about the shelf life and will be sure to keep an eye on dates. Thank you for your help, Mr Elliott. Take care, be safe.

[@richardelliott9511]

Sorry to say that while spray foam is incedibly usefull stuff it is not a good prepper item because of it's short shelf life, which is generally a year or less. This is one of the items where the expiration date is serious. WD40 is great too but for longer storage I would stay clear of the pressurized cans and get the plastic pump spray version or the metal gallon cans along with a metal pump oiler.

I went to the supermarket in my country today and I had a few surprises: 1. There was no "good" soap. There was only One brand Palmolive to which many people are allergic. Please get your good stuff. 2. My niece paid 10 euros for 2 packs of bottled water. A pack has 9 litres in it. Man, I smiled knowing I have a Berkey. 3. Get zinc cream. I don't know what they are putting in the feminine products but many women in my entourage are complaining of severe irritations due to the napkins. Many of the things in this video I did stock up on and now, I cannot get any more. If you can, you are lucky.

The gift of fear, by Gavin de Becker is one of the best books I have ever read. I have read a couple of others by him. It's not about being afraid, it's about how do you react when the hair stands up on the back of your neck, or your gut is trying to tell you something. Do you pay attention to that nagging little feeling? Or do you dismiss it. Pay attention, your life depends on it.

Vomit bags (Emesis bags). You might be drinking sketchy water and eating unrefrigerated food with utensils and plates that are not necessarily clean. That can lead to vomiting. Since you may not have a flushable toilet, these bags can be very handy to have around. If you don't have them, then you might be wasting larger trash bags to solve this problem. These bags are disposable and easily & quickly sealed after use. You might want to have a lot around. Amazon has a 50-pack for just $17.

The Gift of Fear is an excellent recommendation - had my kids read it so they aren't pressured by societal norms into situations they don't want to be in.

[@dcantrell5584]

I disagree, fear is being afraid of what you don't know! Teach them what may make them afraid, then teach them to learn about it, to prevent fear, knowledge is truly power, as in teaching them about God the father. God is not the creator of fear but power and a sound mind.

@@dcantrell5584 it's a book. Called The Gift of Fear. Call it discernment or vigilance or heightened awareness if you don't like the word fear. It's a great book on staying safe.

[@KD-ug4jp]

The book is about listening to your instincts, to override societal norms and be aware. Like getting into an elevator with a stranger even though you don't want to, but you do it so you don't offend anyone. It's a good book - especially for older kids - good kids - who have had a life time of instruction to "be nice" and are well behaved. I want them to be nice, but more so I need them to listen to their instincts, the ones that tells them when something is hinky and act to save themselves rather than smothering that voice in order to fit in.

Some good medications, although a bit hippy (but don't go off) would be clove oil for tooth pain, neem oil for scabies and plant pesticides, teatree for bug bites, cuts and to prevent nits, camomile for soothing a rash, these can all be bought in small glass bottles for cheap, but prevent you rinsing through the painkillers, anticeotic creams and other bits you might need for more serious situations x

[@treehuncher]

In case anyone is interested, there are reusable period underwear out there. Less waste, more use, also good for bug out/on the go by packing less. Also think of how things were done in the past. Not as sanitary unless you plan ahead. Remember some of these things can also help (when you get older or have bladder/other issues) with general leakage ...or for after you have a baby. Tampons are also good to have for your medical kit. Every woman and situation is different so plan accordingly

[@laanierhae]

Agreed. The key with those period panties, and also the cups, is access to clean water. They require extensive and regular cleaning. If not, major problems can pop up. For that reason, I still keep the traditional products stocked, but have these alternative products on hand for barter or to use as a last resort.

You did briefly mention it, but, especially with longer power outages oil use of small generators is often underestimated. Most require an oil change every 50 or 100 hours, but people forget that 50 hours is only two days, okay 4 days when only used 12 hours a day. In a pinch filtering and reusing oil might be an option one time but not recommended. Most engine oils start to acidify at the end of their lifespan and that can't be filtered and does diminish the engine's lifespan.

I've been stocking up on First Saturday Lime. I don't use all of my monthly subscription, but I let it run because it's a fantastic (and very safe) pest deterrent for home, garden, and livestock. We've already had one delivery delay because of supply issues, so I'm glad I have several bags on hand...just in case.

Good tips 👍

Thank you!

Pests! Oh I had not considered that, thank you. As for electrolytes - remember they are nothing more than salt and sugar. From my sailing days, we always kept a “sweet” and a “salty” on board. Think juice/soda and some pretzels. Note - never consider tea or coffee as “liquid”, these are diuretics to your system. ❤ A former SEAL told me, “Fear is good. It will keep you alive.” Great video, thanks for all those reminders!

Great list, love how you always give us the not normal. One thing that blew my mind....who would forget coffee and who would barter it away???? LOL. I feel like condoms is a very overlooked prep and for ladies, liners. Have a great weekend!

First time I've ever heard of prepping condoms.

Learned from a guy who does bug spraying for a living, spray 2 feet up the wall and 2 feet out from the wall. That’s what he does and is very effective. Outside the structure of course.

Haha just ordered more ammo before this video came up. Love the content man. Keep up the great work :)

[@diypreppertv]

Thank you Christian!

[@juicejuice11550]

I order ammo every week.

[@christiansather974]

Gotta love finding deals man!

If you find primers, let us know !!

Also a good way to keep pests out of your home around your property is certain herbs and plants you can grow

I wonder how hard it would be to grind freeze dried corn into masa or flour? Might be a better way to store it longterm.

[@troxycat]

It may work for a porridge in a pinch, but as far as flour or masa, dent corn is going to be your best bet.

A video on bugging out with pets would be helpful.

Diamataceous earth in food grade is great for getting rid of most insects. Kill mice and rats with a mix of baking soda, flour and sugar. Worked great at my place.

Have to be careful not to inhale the dust from DE. It's very irritating to lung tissue.

As a woman, get a menstrual cup and you’re good forever. Pads and tampons take up a lot of space. Also I’m the main planner in the household ;)
