Good idea. Thanks.

I could recommend you youtubers that entertain with science or fuse Fun and Education together, like 'Oversimplified' as a random example. So?

[@CanadianPrepper]

You could literally make a business where you go to peoples houses and organize their preps lol, kind of like a hoarders prepping version. Hire a crew train em up and let em rip!

[@vivianp5962]

Hi, Canadian Prepper. Hope your day goes well. Cant wait for your next video. This man needs to come to Missouri. I have no idea what im doing & i keep buying the same simple stuff. I have 5 bags to fill & have no idea where to start.

[@TheUrbanPrepper]

LOL! That is hilarious. Maybe call it "Pimp My Preps?". :)

[@canadianwinterssuck]

SO NEEDED! I assisted people with disabilities in making and checking their kits and plans as a part of my support job. Great idea Canadian Prepper!

[@RoguePreparedness]

I was so just thinking that. I'd pay for that in a heart beat.

[@betruetoyourself7162]

Yes! Sounds like a great idea. Every location is slightly different. Florida and Hawai’i needs more hurricane preps. Other states need Cold weather preps, earthquake preps. You guys could write off your trips. Urban prepper could probably take his whole family since they have names like baby prepper. Living On an island, government warns the public to have a few weeks of preparation but it is not enough if we get hit by a major storm. Plus now they used up the hurricane fund for the pandemic 😢. If any of you prepper gurus come though we are in lockdown and the restaurants are closing down. Also, probably best to focus on urban and multigenerational prepping

[@SuttonsDaze]

I love the module method. Builds at your pace and is visually appealing. Really really loved this video. Thank you for participating 💖

[@TheUrbanPrepper]

Thank you so much! I'm glad that you enjoyed it. Thank you for having me be a part of this collaboration!

[@Ddabig40mac]

I look at prepping as a financial elephant, in that there's "no way" I can afford to prep for that maybe someday, when today and tomorrow are so expensive. The module approach and the dollar store storage tote is a great way to make that elephant bite size. I *can* afford to fill a little tote each month, and each little tote is progress!

[@TheUrbanPrepper]

Yep! That's the trick. Thanks for watching, Darryl. It's all about eating the elephant, one bite at a time. The Dollar Store is a great place to get items too.

[@nine1690]

You can always put a little bit of money away each paycheck into the bigger items as well. You just have to look at what you need and come up with a financial plan to get there. Good luck Darryl!

[@SgtRudySmith31bRet]

Most of the things you are looking at were a third to half as expensive as they are today. Think about what it might cost next year.

[@dutchcourage7312]

There are strategies for this situation, and the main things are 'focus on the priorities' (this would be mainly be food & water), and exchange time for money ... A great and useful project for something like this would be a rotating pantry (if you want me to provide a step by step process let me know). OR another way to look at it sometimes helps as well: 'Having some things ready but incomplete is better then to not have anything at the ready at all'. This can apply to anything, but at least gives you an incentive to start, instead of waiting until you are sure you can get every item you want. F/e in the area of a bug-out bag, just having a dedicated bag with extra clothing, general hygiene items (toothbrush & soap) and a copy of important documents, can probably be put together from the things you have now... Does it mean you can survive for weeks out in the bush? no... but in case of fires, flooding, terrible storms, you can at least 'grab the bag' and move out to somewhere else in the civilized world where those problems are not. And thinking ahead about such a bag, and actually having it at the ready, will obviously result in a better put together bag and the option to leave at a moments notice... And sure, it won't be the Urban Prepper BOB with all the gear and items he collected over 10+ years, but it will surely be better then the things you scrounged together in a couple of hours or even worse, nothing !

[@lfuentez3295]

Exactly! That’s how I have to do it too. Each shopping trip I add at least one item to my list for prepping, more if affordable at the time. Organization is the key!

[@vickiejordan8037]

As I build my food storage, I’m also building a “recipe book”. I print off anything I think I’ll need and put it in the notebook. One section is “how to” and the other is recipes I want to try. Then as I try it I’ll either throw it away because it did turn out the way I wanted or move it to the keeper section of the notebook. I keep each sheet in a sheet protector and will take the sheet out only to make notes. Notes could be who like it, any changes I might have made, doing WW I write the points on it, etc. The one thing I’m sure I do is find recipes that will work with the food I’m storing. That way if we don’t have electricity (but can cook) I’ll be able to make things that everyone likes and not just open and serve. Just a suggestion.

[@TheUrbanPrepper]

That's a GREAT idea, Vickie! I'd love to hear more about your Prepping Recipe Book. Maybe we could collaborate on a future video regarding it?

[@vickiejordan8037]

TheUrbanPrepper, that would be fun. I have worked in the IT world and we used the Scrum process when staring a project. Never thought about using it for prepping, your idea made so much sense to me. I’m going to set up my Scrum board in the next few days and one of the first items is updating my notebook(s), along with finding my gaps. I’m new to prepping and still trying to get it together. Have a blessed day.

[@jumpoffa5011]

Good for you Vickie. I did the same thing. This way if I have to bug out I have my binder. :-)

[@TheUrbanPrepper]

Can you send me an email, Vickie? It would be fun to collaborate on a Prepping Binder!

I love ❤❤ that you mention starting a channel because the people in your life will think you're a little wacko. I mentioned some preparedness on a family Zoom call and the blank stares I got back was hilarious! Spot on!

[@TheUrbanPrepper]

Haha. Thanks Jennifer! As I mentioned, being a Prepper can be a lonely life, especially when your closest friends and family think it's crazy. Having an outlet is so important to stay motivated.

[@dianeblue130]

How do i convince my family to prep? I feel the great need to at least do some level of this for my peace of mind. I live in one of the largest cities in the country, we dont have big storage areas, gardens, garages, attics, etc. we do however have a little better security for what its worth. I really dislike the people who dismiss city dwellers as burdens on society who will just die off in the first instance. That we’re weak and stupid, etc. What’s my best strategy here?

[@gathercreatelivewithleslie8340]

LOL, my mother just keeps telling me not to panic. I said its not panicking it's preparing. I barely had to go out during the shutdown and nothing really felt like it changed for us. I don't talk about prepping to almost anyone. I'm just assembling. One thing I would mention is prepping for a garden with seeds etc.

[@jennifermclean9413]

@@dianeblue130 I'm in one of those cities that Trump seems to focus on and I worry that we could be a target. So I hear your concern! While I'm not right downtown - if something happens I don't have that many ways out of town. I'm planning on having some of my own supplies AND I've been talking to my parents who live over an hour away that they should be the families bug out location. But it's taken four or five conversations and being in the national news to have them start thinking about what we'll do I would keep doing what you need to do, maybe think about where you could bug out to if that is needed and keep bringing it up! Don't stop bringing it up and one day something will click.

[@dagneytaggart7707]

@@dianeblue130 Making space. Everything must earn it's spot functionally. Storage ottomans. Bed risers to create under storage. Can the hall closet be emptied? Triage what is there for usefulness. Get wall hooks or a coat tree, or disburse items to the users' closet. Fit the hall closet with shelves for preps. Super high shelves in closets or above laundry? Clear and dedicate for preps. Deep kitchen cabinets? Use the back portion for preps and the front for kitchen items. Side tables can be stacked preps or boxes with preps and covered with a drape. Even if you know you won't 'bug-out' like a special ops soldier, you might need to stay in a disaster shelter, or go someplace for assistance that involves long waits. Consider backpacks for those purposes, multi-day stay or just a long day away. Any amount you can do is worth doing.

[@dennispoley6005]

Organization, redundancy is key. Having supplies stored/hidden in various locations is important in case of fire, flood, seizure, theft, etc.. But, also having premade kits with various items in case some are lost. Don't have all of a specific need in one container. Like all of your fire making items, or all of your ammo, medical, food... Have kits with various supplies. This is especially helpful to use to hand out to family, friends, neighbors that are in need. These could be a 72 hour type kit... reusable container, food, water, hygiene, fire starter, space blanket, flashlight, med kit, instructions, etc.. They should be age or need specific to include foods, entertainment, Bible/inspirational material, meds, multi tool. Being able to quickly grab a container and hand it to someone lessens the exposure of what you have stocked up. And if you don't have to hand out items, having them organized, ready to go makes bugging out quickly much easier, safer. It doesn't have to be super expensive. It's definitely better to help out where you can, rather than try and fend off people that you know. Build a relationship with them, so that they may help you.

Great organizational methods and devices. You are a wealth of knowledge. Thanks you for your time.

[@jumpoffa5011]

Very nice and well organized video. As for me, I'm a bit old fashion and believe in the KISS Method. A pen and note book is all I needed. I learned that a lot of the items needed for my prepping fell into other categories and can be used as such. With this being the case I had to either double the item needed or keep that item where it could be accessible quickly. Part of prepping is keeping your items from prying eyes and those that may wish to take it away from you; so when making your container(s) be sure you can remove the label or if it is part of your BOB, Bug Out Bag, have it marked family photographs/photos. No one wants to dig through your family photographs. :-)

[@lisakukla459]

Ooh, this is good! I really like the shoe box idea, and the color thing is great! I'm going to learn more about how to do the board thing, too; Seems like something like that could help me stay on top of everyday life, as well. I live in a camper right now, and even though I'm just a beginner to prepping, space is already starting to become an issue with just a few bags of dry goods and a couple stacks of canning jars. I do have a storage unit for my furniture and appliances; Idk why it never occurred to me to keep my preps there. That place is locked up like Fort Knox. Makes me less of a target, too, not having a bunch of food and resources here while I'm crammed in this parking lot with a hundred other struggling folks. Getting things out of these tiny cabinets and into their own containers and moving the larger items out will make such a difference to smoothify my daily life! I feel like all that spray paint will add up quickly, though, so maybe I'll do the colors with construction paper for now. I'm excited to get those shoe boxes and get to sorting! Thanks so much for this info. It seems like most folks who are into this tend to be the more organized type, and this topic doesn't get as much attention as it could. For those of us who want to be organized but need some guidance, this is incredibly valuable. I'm already feeling relieved.

Great video! I’ve been working at cataloging and organizing all of the various preps that we have. It seems to be a monumental task just to find out where I stand so far 😩 collecting just a little bit at a time over the course of years really adds up. I am also paralyzed at all the categories I have really filled in over the years too. Though I am seeing where the gaps are just writing down and looking at my lists which is great! Prepping ain’t just food and water! I’ve also prepped for shelter, fire, defense, gardening, canning (metal and glass), reloading, and so much more. I realize now I need to color code and break it down into core categories to make it more manageable one at a time. Of course I have started with food and water and have yet to move on to the other categories. I’m going to take a page from your book and color code everything for ease of use. I may also invest in a different organizing method such as shelving, rolling totes, or heck, even a shed of some sort! Preps take up room.

@@TheUrbanPrepper I had no idea.😂 Many thanks for this great resource. I’m still relatively new to prepping so I love getting new ideas and resources that can help me figure it out. I have so many #10 cans right now I had to get some even larger boxes (with wheels) to corral them (and I’m not even done with my list of things to get)

[@bebabx7]

I am alone on this and i'm so glad that this is going to help me prepper smart not hard! for myself and my 6 year old! Thanks!

[@Katesharpandvoice]

In Minnesota, April is tornado awareness month. Keep some preps in your basement if you have one.

[@doedensurvival9281]

I'm a sucker for organization videos. I love your system! Thanks for sharing!

[@ashleylitebrite6971]

These are all great ideas. Thanks for sharing your journey. Organization and prepping is difficult but your module systems help a great deal. Thank you

[@milesandcoffee]

That is the first time I've heard of the term SCRUM Board. I made one immediately! This type of Graphic organizer will help me get my projects done! Thanks!

[@TheUrbanPrepper]

Awesome! I'm glad that this video was helpful for you.

[@milesandcoffee]

@@TheUrbanPrepper very helpful! Thank you!

[@ArtsyIslandGirlJamaicanVlogs]

Very useful video. 🙏Thanks from a Jamaican vlogger

[@TheUrbanPrepper]

Glad it was helpful!

[@bloodthorne26]

I love your scrum board and prep organization methods. Great ideas!!

[@navygirl98to02]

Nice video! I definitely agree about sharing the videos. I've been sharing my Prepping videos too. It's helpful to go back and see how much you have of an item and/or how much you paid for the items. It also helps to remind you of things that you need to buy extra of like different meds etc. TFS

[@evelynsouzaferreira4593]

Thank you. This video was a learning one for me. Scrum board will be implemented this evening when I get home. Much appreciated.

[@MsPants1632]

This video makes my Type A personality very happy! Your organizational skills are top notch!!

[@TheUrbanPrepper]

That's great to hear. Thank you very much!

[@mspeedie52]

I love this video. Thanks for the good ideas! You have helped me with a direction to organize the preps that I have been doing.

[@TheUrbanPrepper]

So cool! Thanks a bunch for watching and commenting, Mary!

[@ginnykass7943]

I found this interesting but also realized that storage & all those bins would not fit in our tiny home. We have a lot of our storage in the kitchen & living room.

[@funnygoose]

Saw you have the Kelly Kettle on the board. Just an FYI, you cant used it to cook food with the grill topper unless you have water in it. It will melt...yes, I learned the hard way after using it for the first time last month...

[@TheUrbanPrepper]

Thanks for the heads up! I'm just starting with the research on this one.

[@EatCarbs]

Some great information A questions I had you already addressed.. well done brother Thanks for the video

[@kaylinde2321]

Excellent video! I wish I saw this when I was neck deep in home prep items. Bless my husband for being patient with all the mess we had around the living room for weeks! And for turning a blind eye to all the money I spent 😅

[@ecocentrichomestead6783]

I live far from urban areas, in a very safe place. My prepping is food, firewood, and medicine. So I collect tools, skills, seeds and useful perennial plants.

[@davegrizzly6301]

I like this ... good way to stay organized basement is in a disarray was looking for a way to organize stuff this is pretty helpful overall

[@desbravurasemserie3075]

This is exactly what I was looking for to start prepping too. Thanks 🙏!

[@ArmoredXJ]

Awesome! Thanks for this! It was a huge help!

[@marius.tom71]

Sir, you're the most prepared person I've ever seen. Congratulations. 👏👏👏

[@TheUrbanPrepper]

Wow! Thank you so much! I'm still working on it though!

[@stevebishop3796]

Really like the color coded module boxes. The pictures and labeling gave me a great starting point

[@TheUrbanPrepper]

I'm really glad to hear that! Thank you for watching and commenting, Steve!

[@luz3922]

Omg this is awesome! I sooo needed this. Thank you!

[@InhumaneSinner]

This is so awesome! And so true! I struggle with organizing my preps all the time and it really does come close to hoarding, which is explicitly not my goal

[@roxannecoyne2744]

This was super helpful! Thank you!!

[@bearcreekgirl6967]

I keep my small boxes in the big boxes

[@Thewellshomestead]

Great video! Thank you!!!

[@TheUrbanPrepper]
