The first 48 hours after Katrina, All was quiet. The 3rd nite, all the riff raff came out to loot. My buddy and I sat at the entrance to my neighborhood. I was the third house on the block with only one road in. We were armed to the teeth but we both had shotguns in our laps. We watched the looters make their way to our neighborhood. They never saw us sitting there still as rocks. As they reached the middle of the street in front of us, we both racked our 12 gauges... Never seen people levitate like that before! They flew out of there in a space of a heartbeat. Never had another problem through the recovery.

There were lines of cars a mile long waiting to get gas at the few places that had it. People began fighting in line, no regard for each other. You could feel the tension. Every grocery store like HEB was empty. The shelves had nothing. When they restocked, people could only get one gallon of milk and one pack of meat per purchase. People began fighting over the food.

A couple of years ago, on the Central Coast of Australia, a place notorious for high crime and high homelessness, we experienced a blackout during a fortnight (two weeks) of thunderstorms and heavy, heavy rain. I had gone to school and was escorted to the school library along with every other brave student who made it on the first day. Then after 2-3 hours, with the power being out within minutes of arriving to the library, we were told to go home. For me, that would've meant a 45 minute/2 mile walk, in torrential rain. Luckily, buses had been recalled, and we were dropped off. It flooded to the point where we couldn't leave the house as my family lived in a gully with very poor drainage thanks to the local council ignoring residents who lived on my old street about the sewage grates being overgrown and polluted with trash. The water reached within a few feet of our porch. Also, luckily for my family, we had a gas stove, which hadn't gone down, only the electric sparker in it failed to click, so we had to use a long hosed lighter to light the stove. We heated pot after pot for baths. And luckily my mother had done the weekly shopping before the water boxed us in. The power was out for a week. Some suburbs went a almost month without. It is possible, and it almost got really, really bad.

[@alisonvanschoor730]

In South Africa, various countrywide prepping groups have formed to protect each other and their fellow citizens in a severe SHTF scenario. Our family is part of such a group and have prepped for years.... yet we cannot get one single member of our friend group to do the same.... it is confounding to me! We have preps for staying at home, preps for leaving and joining our prepping group away from the cities and preps for if we are alone somewhere, living off the land. Our prepping group communication network does radio checks once a week ( across the whole province). We have camping weekends together to use and refine our preps, where we have to find and filter our own water, only eat the kind of food we have in our stockpile and even dig pit latrines. Most of our prepping group have off-road caravans so that we have comfortable, lockable places to sleep.... My friend group on the other hand, say that prepping is too negative to think about, but for me its quite the opposite: the more I prep, the calmer and more in control I feel. So while my friend group have enjoyed travel and fancy toys over the years, we have plowed all our spare time an money into our "ark". Bear in mind that we in South Africa live with rolling blackouts already, so we are much closer to grid-down than you in America. Still, despite all this, our ultimate preparation is the strengthening of our Faith. God has placed us here, at this time - I am always mindful of the verse from Esther: "Perhaps you were made for such a time as this". The writing is on the wall - only the foolish and blind cannot see it or recognise it. God Bless you all in your preparations!

Wow that is awesome! This video really shocked into me that we will NOT be running to the woods with our gear and going at it alone like I’ve always assumed. South Africa must be terrifying. Especially if you are a white person. You are very smart for being ready. America is very close to SHTF and a civil war I think. And once that happens I think a lot of the world will follow suit considering how much aid we provide. 😢 scary stuff. God bless you and yours ❤ and if your friends won’t join in, oh well. They probably wouldn’t do well in that situation anyways and would be a liability.

i spent 20 yrs in the army and i was a ranger, Our survival training is insane. We are taught to live indefinitely in the wild with little to nothing, even without a knife. I am so thankful for the training i received. you would be surprised at the kind of things we learned to eat. From inner tree bark to bugs. We would do sustained survival training in jungles, cold weather, desert and mountains. Even now i still keep my skills honed just in case. If you could only have one thing , have a good knife. Invest in good equipment or tools because you do NOT want your shit to fail when you need it. There are many ways to test plants to see if they are edible. Some take a bit of time such as cutting open a plant and taping it under your arm by your arm pit for several hours to see if there is a reaction. Yes sounds strange but it works

@@oscarrivas7240 I do want to say one thing. Real survival skills , not this stupid shit on KZbin from wanna bees who have never in their life actually put real skills to test. Real Survival skills takes time, patience and a lot of practice. You have to understand its not comfortable in any way, You learn to get used to being hungry, cold , hot, tired, and miserable. Real Survival skills is an art form that cannot be learned from the comfort of your back yard or camp sites. I see these videos and laugh my balls off because they all work on the premise of comfort. They tell you to buy this and buy that and to carry this that you would need a vehicle for in many cases. The truth is, and one basic philosophy we were always taught is , "IF YOU CANT CANT CARRY IT ON YOUR BACK, YOU DONT NEED IT. " Everything i need to survive indefinitely in any survival situation and any environment is on my vest. of course ill have a load out in my ruck sack, but we train in the frame of mind that you have nothing. Anything else your carry is considered a luxury, even a knife. We are taught that what you use for survival is in stages. First, your Ruck sack will carry a lot of basic necessities, such as a tent, water purification, Food cubes, not MRES. MRES are a pain in the ass. we just take the protein out and coffee and sugar packets and salt. we dump the rest. As a retired army , now a civilian i buy emergency food cubes i keep some in my ruck and on my vest. However,. we are taught, if we lose or have to abandon our ruck, then our Vest is the next stage. ON my vest. aside from ammo. i carry an assortment of knives and a spare survival knife, compass (always use a military compass with tritium) a vacuumed seal trauma kit i keep behind my front plate in its pocket, and a shit load of other things> This is a typical combat load. Next stage is what if you loose or something happens to your vest. Well. on my belt (always use a riggers belt) i have my main and primary all purpose survival/combat knife. I personally as many of my fellow rangers to, carry an M9 bayonet, Its heavy, durable, can be used for skinning although its not as pretty and clean as using an actual skinning knife, a hammer, a tactical combat knife, etc. IT is by far better than anything i have every used, and trust me ive tried every major popular survival knife out there from Gerber to Randall. Some guys like the old Kbar, but its too light for my taste, i know its a good knife but i like a heavy blade and heavy handle because its next to impossible to break an M9 bayonet. I have broken several K bars which is why i stopped using them. If you decide to get an M9 i suggest a real one from a company that makes them for the military. Dont get a cheap one, your life depends on it. Tri Tech, Phobius are two of the main manufacturers. you can buy them on amazon and they are pretty inexpensive, around a hundred bucks. Dont be fooled by the fancy looking and popular knock offs. Like i said, your life depends on what you carry. and in the case of knives, you get what you paid for. Military issue, for the most part, is reliable. tested and abused and still stands up to rigorous use. I cant stress enough, about these internet survival ass nuts. What they claim they know they have never really had to use it to actually survive. I promise you, they have never been far from a car, cell phone, other people and carry the most stupidest shit i have ever seen. train with bare minimum at first. as you get better and more confident you can increase your load out. Just remember. train as if your life depends on it. the only way to do that is dump your ass out in the wild once you get good and dont make it easy to access comfort. carry a phone of course. but going out in your back yard, camp sites etc is not training with realism. Realism is when your tried, hungry, and the only food you can eat is what you catch, kill. prepare and preserve. i know what im saying turns a lot of people off because , well lets face it. people are soft, lazy, love their comfort and in my opinion pussies. lol . i hope this helps .

I survived the 8.8 Richter earthquake of 02/27/2010 in Chile, I lived in Concepción. Department stores were looted the same night as the earthquake and supermarkets a couple of days later. In my neighborhood we spent 14 days without water and 22 without electricity. What helped us get through that moment was the joint work with the neighbors, we got water from a well, we shared the frozen food before it spoiled and we organized ourselves to take care of the looters. I'm telling you, because according to my experience, the deadlines you indicate in your video are actually shorter. The president of the time, it took several days to decree martial law, so we spent a week of true terror. In addition, in our country it is very difficult to have firearms to protect yourself.

It can filter out the vast majority of contaminants found in wilderness fresh water sources (lakes, streams, puddles, groundwater), and are even advertised to handle water that has been contaminated with sewage and such (great for urban survival and disaster situations). They also have a program that puts a portion of the proceeds towards helping bring clean drinking water and filtration systems to vulnerable areas, which is a nice bonus. They do have some limitations, but they are VERY affordable and other filters on the market cost a lot more to do the same thing.

I live in the UK and I remember watching the Nuclear War movie called Threads.. which was filmed in the UK. Anyone who hasn’t seen it, I suggest you watch it.. even though it’s quite old now, it still blows your mind.. Now after I watched this film, I have racked my brain for decades and played out how things would progress in the aftermath.. And one conclusion I realised is that the Military would be kicking in people’s front doors to do a full Gestapo style search and sweep of every inch of your property in the search for food and other resources.. which they will obviously say that they need to distribute it to the people who didn’t or couldn’t stock up.. But there is a way around this and you can use things like false walls which you can store your dried food behind, these walls can be easily installed with drywall plaster boards covered with matching wallpaper of the same room.. Also fake wide plastic pipes can be installed in bathroom areas.. and if you are clever enough you could even buy brand new radiators and fill them full of dried peas, rice etc. but just remember to disconnect the water to them before hand lol Ceilings and cavity walls can also be areas to store food.. but you will need to put the food in vermin proof containers. One of the main problems is canned food, because if the Henchmen come and raid your home, they will certainly have metal detectors so your canned foods will be found, so you might want to store them somewhere behind large metal objects like boilers or radiators to confuse the searcher.

We only have 4 power grids that give every American power. One in the West area, one in the Midwest area( middle of America) one in the Eastern area and Texas has one in their state. If one goes down millions have no power. Biden gave China the full rights to be in our power grids. President Trump passed a law to bring our power up to date and to get them secured 24/7. Now they aren’t secured and other countries can visit them within one week of Biden in the White House. Our power grids can be shut down by another country's ship being on Open Waters and firing a missile 200 miles up into the atmosphere over our country. That will cause an EMP which can take out our power grids. That one missile can cause a domino effect and shut all the power grids down because they are all connected. It will take 2 months and up to 2 years to repair the grids. China makes the parts for our power grids. So how long we are shut down will be as long as they want us shut down. Politicians and their families all have a very secure stocked place to go. There are 3 or 4 of them in our country. Some even have a hospital in them.

You don't want to stay where you need to prepare. Friendly suggestion; prepare your needs somewhere else where no people are around. Buy some piece of land somewhere cheap, ca 1 ha, dig a hole about enough to have food for 6 months, tuna, fish, dried meat, veg's, military rations, water, beer, wine, dry juice, everything that's can last couple of years. Tons of it. Cover it and just leave it. Tools are good to store also, solars, batteries(unused). After this you can forget about your stash and enjoy life. (Me have food for my animals atleast a year of supply. Its different in catastrophy if you are prepared, the unprepared will notice the prepered ones real quick. So don't ever mingle with people you don't know, they will do everything when in panic, most people today are not humans anymore, but a bunch of rapists of any kind.

* If it is obvious to others that you are in your home, go about the business of seeking supplies even if you have ppenty. Neighbors or those setting up camp nearby will notice if you hunker down and never venture out. They will correctly assume you have lots of supplies. *Keep children, pets and women inside as much as possible unless you are on a fortified hilltop or otherwise hidden / under cover. * Keep a loose fitting clothing in your preps including a larger belt so it will appear as though you are losing weight, like everyone else. * If you shelter in place establish retreat points in case you are overrun and practice getting to each backup location without cellphones. It can be a park, a neighbor's home or other location accessible to everyone in the family. * Don't share your medical conditions with others as people will assume you have medicine on hand and try take it. * Run fire drills without the power on and at various times of day. * Let each family member practice putting out a small fire with at least 2 methods such as baking soda and a fire extinguisher. * Practice with children how to answer questions so they don't give away important information. They don't need to lie but teach them how to be vague or deflect probing, nosy inquiries. * Establish a code word or phrase that the family can use to express that they are under duress without giving away that they are divulging anything.

Looting sometimes begin hours after the emergency. Case study: 8.8 earthquake in Chile. Supermarket and drugstores were looted and burned 8hour after the quake. Extense groups of violent marauders were common in less than 24hours too. So the video is accurate in the steps, but not the time frames imo. (The quake was the last day of the month and a friday night, so a lot of people were just paid or didnt receive their salary yet, so food was very low on most houses). No electricity, gas or water for almost a month. Cash was useless since day one, barter was very common. Good video

You can add to your carrying capacity by keeping one or two small solid rubber wheels in your pack. Make a basic Indian style travois and put the wheels on the bottom. Work smarter not harder.

You can use it to organize your bag but once you empty it it can be stuffed with leaves or hay etc and make a very comfortable mattress.

Turn off power at your main disconnect and practice grid down. You find out very quickly what you need and are lacking. I have an on and off grid solar system that can power about 50% of my house. Recently replaced the battery bank because I didn't cycle the bank often enough. No more - now I cycle it monthly - running it down to about 25% of remaining capacity. Test the systems you may rely on in an grid down situation and adapt accordingly.
