Prepper Over 40? Watch This Video!

How to be prepared if you're elderly …….
The key is going to be family and community. Get involved and share what you know. Invest your time and energy in the people in your life and reap the rewards as you age. Stay active physically and mentally until your last breath.
Don’t willingly give up your independence. If you have sacrificed for others your whole life, you will have all the help you need as you become less self reliant.

Whenever an older person dies, a library closes its doors

Hell ya, all that valuable knowledge is gone unless you can spend years with that person racking there brain for info. That info can only be given if asked many questions as said person (any person) just doesn't come out with this does that, do this not that, this is better, etc etc..

I'm a 79 year old Vietnam vet. I am independent although I do have a house keeper and a kid that mows my grass. Still capable of doing both but they need the money. Been prepping for years and practice with firearms and garden. However, I do need to exercise more. Staying active with groups is very important.

My husband and I are 59 and 64. We're stocked up for at least 3 years but also have chickens, and a huge farm. You dont have to be young to prep. My two sons are 35 and 40 they dont prep. I know more older preppers then young ones. You don't stop moving when you have a farm. You have to move constantly. Prepping is a part of our lives.

Youre spot on about keeping going. My granddad cut and hand split all the wood for his woodstove till he was 91 yrs old. All he had for heat was a woodstove, and he liked it really warm, so he split A LOT of wood! He had a stroke at 91 and wasnt able to use a chainsaw and splitting maul anymore. He died abiut a year later at 92. He was born 1913, so he lived through the great depression. He was tough as nails, and such a humble man. I sure wish he was still around!

Jason, I too am one of your older viewers. At 66 years young I can’t do all the things I want. However, efforts I made earlier are paying dividends in our preparedness. Most importantly your kindness and encouragement for older folks is right on target. There are times when I feel irrelevant to a society that prizes youth. I have many things to share if asked. Thanks for your wisdom and support of us “silver saints”.

[@croakingtoad4472]

I'm 60 years old; not quite as limber and fast as I used to be, but can hold my own with folk a lot younger than I am. I started into the outdoor sports, fishing, shooting, hunting, camping, survival kills at my father's side when I was 10 years old, so that's a half century of practicing bushcraft, survival and self care (first aid) skills. I grew up in the townships, so we always had vegetable gardens, put up supplies, stockpiled the basics and canned preservatives. As a homeowner, over the years, I self taught myself basic home repair and construction projects like woodworking, masonry, basic electricity and plumbing. My little grey haired wife and I built a 20 x 30 deck in our back yard during Covid; for something to do. I just recently leather crafting and canvas work. Now add on to that, 40 years of work experience ranging from crop picking, working dairy farms, camp and restaurant cooking, IT consultant, and small business owner; in short a walking library of a full life's worth of experience, skills and more importantly, the kind of wisdom that only comes with age. My wife is 65 years old and is the same as me, with her crafting, sewing and gardening skills. We are both young at heart (took up scuba diving in our 50s, got our motorcycle licenses and bikes 2 years ago). I realize that in a really extended SHTF situation, and on on the surface, our age might make us a liability to some, but every village needs their elders to help guide and teach the next generation and pass on "the old ways". The only things we would ask of our community are, allow us our fair share from the fruits of our labor, and when the time comes, bury us together. Just one old fart's opinion.

[@Jean-fe7ph]

The key to your grandmother’s independence in life is not so much self dependence, but dependence upon GOD which is why she reads her Bible every day in a living manner! “God is our Strength and a very Present Help in times of need/trouble” (Psa. 46:1)

[@lyraacree4380]

35? Busy being born or busy dying ? Then again when we take care of our loved ones in their last years, we loose track of whose who and we find our self alone and dying with them.

Your age? My beard had racing stripes of gray at 36. My wife, got her first grey hair at 58. By then mine was almost totally grey. I'd say you were between 39 and 45. I've heard old timers I worked with tell me I don't know what I would do if I retired. Best part of being over the hill is not having to get up when you don't want to. The second best part is all the stuff you can get done because you have the time, have built up skills, acquired the tools and resources. Last fall I scavenged 500 brick sized pavers and built a raised herb bed for my wife. This spring I've planted and watered 15 new berry bushes and another apple tree. I've got a four year old grape vine that I am learning on. The garden is fully planted, tomatoes are chest high, the broccoli is deep green and tastes great. Potatoes are almost waist high. The leaf lettuce, radishes, yarrow and lavender are being harvested already. I'm walking the dog over 3 miles a day while wearing a 20+pound pack. Wife and I do a lot together, home repairs, painting, fishing, gardening, shooting, cooking, making primitive jewelry, bicycle, play with the dog. We stay in touch with friends and family by letters, emails and phone calls. Facebook and the rest of that sucks, it is so shallow. he world, the economy, the local schools, here's my take, I have gotten to the point where I only care about things I can influence. I've only got so much give a shit left. I can't give a shit about the president, the economy. I've got to give a shit about the garden, about my wife, about laundry. Just tonight I fixed a water leak that we noticed last night after the hardware stores closed. My wife assisted and it would have sucked doing it alone in that dark area. Our neighbors grandson wants to polish some rocks, so I've got to set up a couple rocks for him to do the final polish on the cabbing machine. While I am not on the worship team at church I still go to practice on Wednesday nights and play along on mandolin and harmonica. The drummer has seen me walking my dog and wants to start walking with me when his job with the school ends in a week. I'm going to bed, tomorrow we are going fishing after I do a quick mile with the dog. Hopefully we come home with some fish to fillet, vacuum seal and freeze. Then after supper I can get a couple miles in with him to keep up with the 20+ miles a week we are doing lately.

My guess is that you’re in your mid forties. I’m 65 and I have been a working man since I was 16. My body now shows the wear and tear of my years. I can’t do the things I used to the way I used to do them but I know how to improvise and adapt. When I go hiking/camping I can’t carry a pack because of my knee so I use a game cart to haul my gear. My point is if there’s a will there’s a way to get it done. Getting old is inevitable, giving up is not an option. Never give up on life while you’re still alive because that’s when you die before your time.

I have told my husband and his father in his 70s that they are worth more than just their job and years of work put in. They have value beyond that. Men as they get older struggle with that and need to feel useful and have purpose and I let them know what they are as a father and husband in itself is valuable. They have wisdom we need and have important role in the family and community. My father in law was SP guy for long time then over 35 years for GA power. They did their job working hard all those years and being provider and now deserve to take time and enjoy remaining years.

At 75 I am running how to garden. Last fall was the first time we’re in a different time that we grow because summers too hot to grow here where I live in Arizona. Yes I love doing off Roading used to sickles when I was younger, I was a pilot. I don’t do that, but I did go back to Side-by-side because it was on a motorcycle at my age. I did learn how to make bread this year because I was really strong physically and delivered and picked up our houses and pumped out houses and serviced our houses and delivered out houses. My husband and I were in the outhouse. Now I have trouble picking up 25 pounds let alone 20. And I get frustrated because physically I’m not giving up things. I’m a little more cautious about doing some things because of the craziness of the world. But if I really wanna go somewhere, I’m on my way. I was a truck driver too, so I have no problemWould take 55 feet into the Grand Canyon. Somebody brought it for us. So yes, I can still do all that. I just have a little trouble pulling the pan these days so I haven’t been pulling the fifth wheel for a couple years only because I have trouble with my strength to pull the pen. But I can’t find a man to do it. But the kids said they would bring it up there for me if I want it because I gave the trailer to them. But I still have that three-quarter ton diesel truck that pulls that trailer still. And I do drive that speed stick shift. And yes, I know how to drive a truck with a brownie that’s two gear shifts 4 to 4. I don’t drive a truck any longer, but I had all the things I’ve done you cannot believe. The things that I have.normally not a traditional thing to do. But I did. And I did become a chaplain in 2012. And I did really really enjoy being out as a disaster Chaplain. But can’t quite physically do it now but I’m still a Chaplain

41 is my guess. I love the rural elders around here. They are so funny. Hubby got into bees, 80+ elder got interested, built his box and hubby brought him the filler. Think we have his second box.. we'll see. Anyway, it is.just awesome. Heard another one talking about his garden this morning.. "dang, you go uncle joe!" Early season physically hurts. I sent seed potatoes up to grandma.. mom put like 20 in the same grow bag. Dang.. gonna need to split that up. I dont travel due to farm. I should have kbown that was gonna happen tho.. 😂 last pecan harvest a 90 year up drove 40 minutes several times a week to work at picki g up pecans and disbursed them "shelled" to shut ins. And even gave me some back. 10 trees is way too much to handle and we loved seeing him drive up. ❤

On this front im glad i grew up when I did, it wasn't unusual to talk to older non family folks when I was a kid. I met some real characters, you didn't always learn from what they directly said to you and sometimes the lesson didn't sink in until years later when you were old enough to understand. I miss those people, character and experience like that is hard won and i was honoured to be able to spend a little time with them.

I'm going to go for 43

[@scrapper4563]

I'm guessing....40-42 yrs old. You're just a young pup, I just turned 52 last month (just a number to me and nothing else!) That's what I've always said....you stop, you die! Former EMT (and getting back into EMS with my local volunteer FD) and so many times when I would do transports (both wheelchair and litter/BLS)...I'd talk with them or read their charts I learned one key point that they pretty much all centered around. Once they retired, they cut down on doing 'everything'. I guess they thought that since they didn't have to work anymore, they could just sit back and literally do 'nothing'. Then they put on a little weight, their body starts to 'stiffen up' and they lose their flexibility/balance. The minor illness they maybe had prior to retiring has gotten worse now. They cut out eating (very common to lose the sense of taste, so why eat if I can't taste it, or just don't want to cook anymore) and lose weight, but it's muscle mass since they're not doing any exercising, or weight-bearing movements to keep the muscles/bones strong. Or they just gorge on nothing but sweets or already-prepared foods (again, this is easier than actually cooking), drink more (alcohol), or not drink enough water/juice and their health starts to decline. They suddenly got sick/a disease suddenly pops up. Now they're on meds, and after awhile, taking additional meds to counteract the side effects. The one sickness turns into a secondary and third sickness that really starts the spiral down in health. Now on many more meds. They cannot take care of themselves, (trouble walking/dressing themselves/bathing) and tried to live with family but after awhile they need 24/7 care and now in a nursing home after several trips to the hospital because their health has really deteriorated. I've seen it way, way too often and try my best to tell those that are older than myself that you have to keep active in anything that keeps them moving, keep them focused on staying strong and flexible. I absolutely will NOT end up like that! I'll be working/moving/exercising till the day I pass from this Earth!!

[@lisasnow444]

I’d guess you to be 37-39 years old. This year is a big one for me, but I keep at things. Thanks for sharing the wealth of knowledge and information on this channel. Been following you for years.

[@GeraldNoethen]

Your absolutely right, you dont have to go to work everyday, but stay active dang it, I went back to work 1 day a week and glad I did. Work on my farm everyday ,help my neighbors. 68 y/o is not time to quit.

[@InkedCarpenter1776]

42 I'm 44.

[@TheWilddawg1]

I agree with you about relying on our children as we get older but the problem is that this government and preceding governments have made it where our children can’t even afford to take care of themselves and are moving back home with their parents

[@Scaliad]

69... Still active, but I don't have the energy I used to...

[@brynnleapierce5600]

This is a compliment 👉 “I think you have an old soul” older in mind (Wise), but chronologically best educated guess “early to mid-30s”⁉️ I'm in my 60s & from my perspective I wish we had more young men who were like you.

[@HalfPint75]

Bottom line, soft skills and being able to use your brain is the key. And your about 37. 💪

[@shenlonggohan]

I guess 40. It is true, with age, and even injuries, never stop moving.

[@barbarac9369]

71 and going strong...maybe can't do a marathon, but certain can take care of matters, (Experience and smarts.)

[@jackburton9460]

I have a rare old world trade and need to pass it on to more people than just my son. I'm 44, was very hard on my body and it's catching up.

[@phild8095]

What do you do? My first thought was smithing, but that's not that rare, then I thought thatching, that's rare. Wife and I garden, raise fruit and can, shoot, reload, fish, fillet ,em, take care of the house. Just tonight we fixed a leak.

[@Chris-Vee]

Your 42 ? and my granny is turning 99 years old this year.

[@bestlifeever4548]

Im gonna say about my age I just turned 41. Maybe few years younger. I loved your video with granny. She reminds me of mine we just lost in last couple years. Always said she would out live us all. Im retired military but keep active on farm and in general. I see more younger people in way worse physically and in health than myself and my husband. He cant keep guys at work because cant keep up physically or with the elements and environments even if much younger. My parents are in late 50s and more active than lot of younger people. They prefer to be busy than watch tv or online.

[@amyking3236]

I'm guessing you're around 34y.o. I'm 56 soon and always on the move. Thanks for the pep talk.

[@krisboynes4915]

40ish I'm glad I started long ago no way I could get to where Im at starting from now

[@elwiub]

Nice reminders, and so true! I would guess age 42. 🙂
