Prepping for Beginners: Top 10 Guide (And How To Spend Your First $1000)

[@wildwindjersey]

Good video topic. Easy to get off track and purchase frivolous items. Know yourself, know your context. Food, water, shelter, medical, self-defense, and connection to a community.

[@dangudgeon3833]

I made a grand wish list. I rearranged the list based on need/ likely hood of really using a particular prep. I try to use all my non-perishable preps(knives, tools guns, stoves, water purifiers and tents...etc)

[@iameaster]

Excellent information/advice especially for beginners like me.

[@wrongboarders6963]

Time for me to update my bag and gear. Thanks for the great info!👍🏽

[@joshualicciardello7517]

Very good information, very well thought out presented. Keep up the great work!

[@21gwash]

I have to get prepared to stay ready

[@mattatreagen]

I start my bag with the opposite thought. I start with a larger bag, and have way more stuff than I need. I keep it in my truck and should I need to bug out with my bag, I can quickly get away and then shed things I don't think I'll need according to the situation.

[@HumbleTravellerGaming]

Thank you for putting out a fantastic video for beginners in the prepping world. Not a lot out there and this was done very well. Definitely gonna be sharing this with some buddies that could use the help for them and their families.

[@karlkloc1722]

Make sure everyone in your family has one. I have a family of 5 and we all have one equipped with food and essentials.

[@MsAcreage]

Great ideas and great reminders for all of us. Thanks for your channel!

[@richalina6583]

Ive been an avid backpacker and bushcrafter, and I have learned over the years of listening to youtubers like yourself that a lot of the gear from both disciplines can crossover into building a good BOB - the gear you show is really helpful and attainable for the novice and practiced prepper

[@WolfinProgress]

100% - Bugging out is just unplanned camping

[@ravaskadeltorian3329]

I love the idea of this ultralight bag setup and well thought out. Very much worth the work and money for just the right items.

[@Pooch1953]

As usual, very informative and well thought out video, as well as well presented.

[@kenwezeman7827]

Good kit and great advice. Thanks for all your work.

[@rdubs_hikes]

Great video. This would be an excellent start to an overall kit/plan!

[@dh87neo49]

Good video keep up the consistent content very helpful during these times

[@cardiacbob]

Thanks for the video. I keep a bit more food in mine, and a small pill bag with 72 hrs of my prescription meds and an emerg. bivy-bag. I have a 72 hr bag for my wife also, which I put in a roll-aboard / convertible backpack (we're generally in or around a city, so no heavy overland E&E). I eliminated the ferro-rod and striker, which she couldn't use anyway, and put 2 more lighters in her kit. I also gave her a simple, razor-sharp Mora knife instead of a "survival" knife and saw (which I keep in MY kit). I keep $200.00, Pics of our family and photocopies of our important docs in each of our kits, also.

[@Skellanuts]

You definitely have the right priorities. Three things to consider. 2. The ease 4 is a great all around knife, yes it can throw a spark due to it being carbon steel. However carbon is prone to rusting and it takes alot more time to clean and sharpen just due to the nature of the steel. My favorite is a mora Garberg stainless steel. It’s good you bring a stainless steel single wall water bottle. I was getting worried that you weren’t going to add one until you did at the end lol. I do recommend to get a cup that fits the stainless bottle just to make sure you can boil water, dump the water in the cup, then boil more water in your bottle while your drinking the boiled water in your cup so you can get hydrated while acquiring more boiled water. (I swear by the indestructible usgi surplus NEW canteen cup. Most durable cups on the market. If you can afford titanium canteen and cup sets then you get all the benefits mentioned but also save the ounces in weight. Speaking of weight, the third thing I recommend you try out is an item called the T6ZERO survival tarp. It’s xenon material that is a survival tarp that only weighs 6 ounces. It packs very small, you can put it into your pocket, and it holds up well. It’s made by a bush rafter in PA called coalcracker bushcraft.

[@noworries7617]

Great information and products. I am just learning to make a survival bag. Thanks.

[@provvidenza7296]

Great 72 hour kit, lots of essential items covered, very well put together video, thank you.

[@hdjeffw13]

Another well presented informative video. Keep up the great work.

[@mrneal8966]

I built a get home bag over the past few months! I now carry it with me wherever I go! I can’t tell you how many times I’ve tapped into my supplies knowing they were right there in my bag! Bandaids and ointment, headlamp for late night dog walks, sunscreen, dental floss and toothbrush, clippers, snack bars! Etc. Having so little control in these times, I find being prepared is one way to get that control back!

[@WolfinProgress]

Right on neal!

[@travisr.9542]

This is one of my favorite videos you made. Very budget minded and it's good to remember prepping can be a long term acquisition. My favorite video was the winning one!

[@WolfinProgress]

Thanks Travis!

[@Jascensionvoid]

Nice bag. And didn’t think about thinks like socks but it’s true. It’s the little things that get you. Another great and informative video.

[@theprophetez1357]

That's true. I went camping once with two other guys and we all forgot to bring toilet paper. As a result Ray and I had a bad rash that lasted for days.

[@bravo_the_broken4003]

I would add a few ziplock bags like 2-3 gallon & 2-3 quart sized, they weigh nothing and can be supper versatile

[@mrx1262]

good vid mate i just made my 2 first vids of my bug out bag for the UK's new to prepping people like me. can't wait to see your next vid

[@chrismcdaniel2854]

Congratulations to the winner 🏆.. my autistic son has most of these items.. He really wants to carry his EDC bag with him everywhere...

[@scottanthony1616]

Awesome video, thank you for the suggestions on making a kit, I've all ready started one, I do live on a budget, Y'all take care, stay healthy an God bless you and your family always.

[@atrailgrumling4670]

That's a good setup for an ultralight bag and the gear is good

[@douganderson3804]

Very helpful and informational video, especially for those new to the lifestyle. It's a blessing to see instructional videos that don't innundate and overwhelm people. Keep up the outstanding work !

[@notreallysure99]

First, prioritize by importance (e.g. water, food, shelter, medical, protection, etc.). You can then re-prioritize based on probability of actually needing the provision (this may change depending on where you live, the time of year, or maybe even current social events). Baby steps.

[@fyremanjef]

My suggestion to the new Prepper’s. Don’t try to buy it all or top tiered items now. Buy what you can’t get what you need and upgrade as you can.

[@bassackwardsbushcraft8961]

Great info here. As a lifelong prepper, I will say without a doubt that you're giving some really solid advice. Thank you, and keep up the good work.

[@MsStoneyBurke]

Stay safe and keep the wonderful videos coming.

[@isaacthompson8778]

Always adding to/adjusting my kit(s).

[@poncho12335]

Working on my 72 hour kit while watching this video. Thanks for putting this info out there.

[@jonathanm5085]

Nice stuff. I need to get a set of those radios. One for myself and one for my parents. Good info !

[@jorgearroyo6881]

Great video. I learned a lot. Keep up the good content.

[@libertyg4402]

Thank you for sharing all of this information!

[@joekrantzemt]

I love these videos. Very good info in all of them

[@MarioPerez-zl9rr]

I like the compact bag! Really good idea

[@jonassilvers2277]

Looking forward to seeing more of your videos

[@mariewaldrep863]

Thank you so much for this very informative video.

[@jrbouder]

Another well-done informative video, thanks!

[@donfrost9457]

A lot of great info in this video! Good way to keep things in priority.

[@daorginalbigb]

Great video great info very well put together 💪💪

[@Marlah4]

Great video for those who are starting up!

[@CameronRail]

Thank you for the information. I love that you focused on the footwear. When rucking/hiking, the right boots are gold. Suggestion, for upcoming videos... go over some map reading techniques.

[@WolfinProgress]

I like that! Will do!

[@timothy146237]

This is a great video! Super helpful

[@ibpositivemostly7437]

A lot of good information in this video thanks.

[@trailboss889]

Very informative vid. Thanks!

[@bmailloux4220]

Another excellent video. Thank you

[@scottgarrett7085]

Nice kit! I love that watch!!

[@margaretadler6162]

Just a suggestion, I used gorilla tape to reinforce the grommets on my survival tarp and survival blanket just to help keep them from pulling out. ATB Sam Adler

[@theprophetez1357]

I have added grommets to much of my kit to make things more versatile, but I always put tape to support the fabric from tearing. You can get the kits at Harbor Freight cheap.

[@beprepared4anything759]

Love the video, keep up the good work.

[@nothingtonooneinparticular8500]

Make sure to have all the things to MAINTAIN or PRESERVE your preps no matter WHEN you get them. Boomsticks? Have stuff to maintain and repair them. Food? Have mason jars you need lids and ways to seal them. Like a food saver to dry seal them and a canner to traditionally can stuff. Have various mylar bags and oxygen absorbers to store dry goods long term. Make a list of items you need to maintain your gear. Oooh and stay organized. No good to have gear and not know where it all is or where parts of it are. Unfortunately that is my problem at the moment...lol

[@johansengonzalez6524]

I just discovered your videos and I instantly subscribed!! You make GREAT videos man 👌🏽👌🏽. I wouldn’t necessarily consider myself a “prepper “ but recently I’ve been very interested and researching videos and information such as this just to be prepared in case of anything at all, these days you just never know... Better prepared then sorry 🤷🏽‍♂️ !! Anyway keep putting out these great videos, you have a new Sub my mannn 👌🏽💪🏽

[@bynfne]

I’ve definitely been trying to step up the families preparedness within our budget, which I’m sure isn’t nearly as high as others. Trying to make due with what we can I figure is better than nothing! Thanks for the quality content! Fingers crossed I’m selected 🤞🏻

[@josephthehappycucumber4089]

Nice information! Would you recommend carrying a pair of safety glasses in this kit?

[@WolfinProgress]

For sure! Especially if you’re hiking in the woods at night. Don’t poke your eye

[@vinnyM30]

Love the waterproof map, Florida is sold out but its on my list. Also ordered the tinder wick- that is awesome. Another great video for us noobs

[@lovetodecorate7568]

That’s a very nice bag and kit. I definitely need to get a few of the things u have there.

[@scottanthony1616]

Wolf,,I just thought of one more item, there are people with medical problems, if you are taking medication, talk with your doctor about getting extra medication for such emergencies to have in your preparedness kit, hope this helps out.

[@sewhitewolf]

Excellent choices!

[@phillipbenbow1155]

Love the videos man. I need that ESEE knife

[@annbonn]

You sold me on the mosquito net the second you said the thing about spiders crawling in your mouth when you’re asleep 😱😂

[@jameszody4488]

Great information - thanks.

[@bravo_the_broken4003]

I would keep a leatherman rebar. Its my favorite from leatherman and it has an amazing tool set in such a small package

[@tokingreens]

A very nice kit...sound advice.

[@Jeppie_NL]

Thanks for the tips bro,

[@happycamper9300]

That first aid kit or ailment as you said is very practical

[@terrewilkins6820]

Where is a reliable place to get the pocket size SAS guide, i have been searching for a while and can't find it. Keep up with the great content.👍👍

[@WolfinProgress]

Damn you're right! Looks like they discontinued it. Might have to set up an alert on eBay!

[@BCJerbs]

Amazon has them in Canada

[@terrewilkins6820]

Thank you for the information

[@bill108989]

Very good information thank you

[@paulcavataio874]

Great Video, very informative

[@mthovey1]

Great info, thanks!

[@Beiberhole69RVA]

Good stuff...how is that water filter pouch for you? There's a lot of Amazon reviews that the pouch/bladder tears near the opening.

[@WolfinProgress]

Still holding strong. No concerns.

[@jeremyoyer]

Love the content. Good systematic approach for beginners! #ESEE4

[@a.m.cummins8117]

It gets overwhelming after food and water. Love this video idea.

[@jugarnaunt]

Great way to break the information and gear down.

[@BCJerbs]

I have been putting 100.00 into preps every month for the past 5 years...the big three is the most expensive part and I have squeaked by...i have found a few tubers channels very helpful yours being one of the quickest and more reliable source of information about this area! If people took the time and put away at least 100.00 into there preps per month they would be golden! I work with very minimum amount of loot and to put 100.00 away specially in this time of "BeerFlu" is really hard for me, but if I have to eat Mr.noodles so be it! I love this channel and I'm stoked to be in the pack and I appreciate all that u r doin for us Mr.Wolf your knowledge is the ammo in my gun of life bruv! Keep up the epicness! Cheers, Jerbs.....JERBS FOR THE WIN!!!

[@chevell23]

Great items and content.

[@ABD4VIDS]

Great setup!

[@margaretadler6162]

I love the uberliebin fire wick it's an awesome tool that every bushcrafter,and hiker should carry! I recently purchased a beofung radio now in need to learn how to use it and get my CB license. Another fine video, keep up the good work! ATB Sam Adler

[@laxdrew9]

Add ranger bands, rubber bands, or some small shock cord to put the tourniquet on the shoulder strap. Underwear and socks in a ziplock. But the backpack itself is the smartest part of this video, because a long walk with a big old bag of stuff is gonna hurt, and you could move pretty easily with this pack.

[@WolfinProgress]

Smart

[@bryanglanz9030]

Awesome video thanks

[@guyvaughn1067]

lots of great information!

[@unicornphantasm]

Do you have the backpack shown in this video in your store? If not could you provide a link? Thank you.

[@bynfne]

@wolfinprogress I was wondering the same thing

[@WolfinProgress]

Looking like it’s discontinued. Osprey has a great packable one on Amazon: amzn.to/2SY9mhK

[@unicornphantasm]

@@WolfinProgress thank you for the link 👍

[@-motosync]

I think the Titan paracord is a nice addition.

[@TheChomskyhonk]

The waterproof map is pretty great. Can't seem to find one for my area, unfortunately.

[@Jeppie_NL]

@wolf in progress Can you also make a special video for if you would be in Europe, you always talk from a Texas/USA point of view. Like what to do in SHTF situations? How to protect yourself? Or how to protect your family? We don't own guns, we can own crossbows/slingbows. Gr Jesper

[@WolfinProgress]

Will do!

[@NothingToNoOneInParticular]

I reuse travel q tip containers, the blue hard plastic ones. for things like holding peanut butter packets. med kits, tea/coffee kits. etc/ Nothing worse than reaching into your bag and shoving your hand into a peanut butter packet that splooged in your bag, because it got crushed...lol

[@basher2209]

Start with the most pressing needs should things happen and knock off one thing at a time. I’d add a lightweight change of clothes in the bag. That can go a long way.

[@willyfromphilly1502]

I need to get one of those tinder wicks.

[@MKEPTV]

Good information great channel

[@texmex4379]

Great video. I'll be looking into that bag. I purchased the WOWTAC based on your recommendation and I love it. Keep up the great work.

[@WolfinProgress]

Nice!

[@jasonkeosian3087]

Nice little kit .

[@Brad_English]

Great info!

[@laruestephens3743]

During the first 3 days after Hurricane Katrina, the people who hurt the most were those who didn’t have a survival kit. You offer great suggestions and rationale for this 3 day kit.

[@raycondensa2426]

Great tips!

[@suev4345]

That backpack (empty) would be a good addition to your auto emergency equip in case you break down off road and need to hike to town

[@gizmo8760]

The Jackery 1000 and 500 Solar Generator in your link are $1,000 and $500 respectively and way out of my price range. I have an Anker 21W solar panel, Anker 20000mAH power bank, and Stanley Fatmax Powerit 1000A for my backup power sources. Also the Nitecore UMS2 to recharge my 18650 Li-Ion and Eneloop AA NiMH batteries. Those will have to do. And why do many preppers concentrate solely on tools and gadgets? What about travel toilet paper? Are you suddenly going to stop taking a dump? No extra underwear, socks, or an extra shirt or pants either.

[@WolfinProgress]

Check my bugout bag video. They’re in there.
