SHTF, WROL, EROL, TEOTWAWKI, Zombie Apocalypse Ammo Stash!

This video is a quick run through of the ammunition stash I have built up in last year or so. Check out my video series on SHTF/ Zombie Apocalypse survival- EDC- • SHTF / Zombie Apocalyp...

Pretty impressive stockpile. I doubt most people could ever afford to do this. The problem I see is so many different calibers. Obviously you're an avid shooter, so it might make sense to distinguish between fun/recreational guns, and others for prepping tools. That way you can focus on stockpiling fewer calibers. Good video & Nice job planning ahead.

[@tonyday455]

I love the "Buy cheap Stack Deep" saying......Keep up the good work and know your certainly not alone!!!!

[@VanPrepper]

I heard some guy in a local gun shop say it and have been using it ever since

[@jas251000]

I can't never get tired of watching ammo videos, its such a disease!!!!!!!

[@ryanz6896]

To save on space especially in the ammo cans, re-package it. Loose the cardboard it only holds moisture anyways. Bulk pack it with desicant packs, be sure to lube the rubber seals on the lids and seal it up. I get about 40% more in my cans that way. Label various brands and differences in grains. I don't worry about damage to the casings because of bulk packing because I don't really move them around much after loading the cans. Take it or leave it but it has worked for me.

[@DaveSmith-cp5kj]

If you are going to go through this much trouble to stock up on ammunition, I strongly suggest picking up reloading. You will make much more ammunition (at least double) than buying it factory, plus having most (not all, the OPFOR won't wait for you to load your ammo lol) of your ammo in components is an advantage as you can load ammunition to the situation you find yourself in. If you find a good supply of lead, casting will really stretch your money to almost 7x more ammo vs factory.

[@VanPrepper]

Thanks my friend. The ammo shortage really changed my view of how much ammo I need to keep on hand. I have probably shot off 3000 rounds at the range this year, so I realized that I needed to build up a bigger stock or risk running out. As always money is the biggest issue with what I get.

[@StevenPettijohn]

Good point about the corrosive ammunition. I always swab out my guns with any glass cleaner which contains some ammonia when I'm done at the range shooting old milsurp ammo, then give them a thorough cleaning when I get back to the house.

[@VanPrepper]

Thanks

[@MrJdbridges]

Hey man great stash I'm just getting started lookin forward to heaving a nice stock pile myself thanks for the motivation god bless!!

[@VanPrepper]

You are welcome. Thanks for watching. Check pout my channel and subscribe.

[@SamsGarageSale]

Good for you. Buy all you can. If other people are to stupid to see the writing on the wall then so be it. Thank you for sharing. Now if you need some ammo cans for storage let me know. I can sell one, a pallet, a truck load. Safe shooting.

[@VanPrepper]

SamsGarageSale Thanks

[@VanPrepper]

I shoot a lot so I want to keep a lot on hand to guard against another ammo scare. Thanks for watching and subscribing.

[@VanPrepper]

The video was mainly to encourage folks thinking of stocking up to not be scared off by the ammo shortage, and to help Mosin Nagant newbies to get over the initial fear of corrosive ammo. Thank you for taking time to view and comment on the video.

[@colinstanhouse6663]

Could you please do an in depth video of where you can find weapons and ammunition AFTER the apocalypse has happened and you have exhausted all you ammo stockpiles and possibly list , stolen or broken weapons. Where you would go to find more

[@guncrazy81]

Man I really like your channel. You have many of the same guns that I do. I have to say you do have a nice amount of ammo stored. Thanks for sharing

[@VanPrepper]

Thank you for that info. I had honestly never heard that and appreciate you taking the time to give me a heads up.

[@roostercogburn8700]

Surplus buying is the best bang for your buck! Keep doing what your doing man.

[@VanPrepper]

Yes indeed my friend. I keep a box of mixed ammo packed in case of a bug out situation. Who knows what rifles or handguns I would grab, so it's best to have some packed for all of them.

[@Hemispherical1]

All I have to say is MERICA!!! Keep building up my friend, we are the ones the lazy ones will always cry about and they will be the ones in trouble when shit goes down!

[@VanPrepper]

Thanks TJ

[@mrapple3702]

I came here for the picture of the girl.

[@RangeTime]

Josh Apple I watched 07:04 of this video waiting for the picture of the girl and all I got was a lesson in hoarding ammo.

[@LeporidaeanDream]

Josh Apple Hoard enough and she's yours ;] Prep well.

[@jweatherly26]

Josh Apple img.kzbin.infofnogI0R6xmE/0.jpg

[@mrapple3702]

Jeremy Weatherly Sadly at my age I'd get more use from the ammo.

[@ColdWarWarriors]

You really love your TulaAmmo! Nice stash and keep up the good work.

[@VanPrepper]

I am just cheap

[@JDsgreatz28]

tula sucks, they make good guns but the ammo is not consistent at all.

[@whrch5]

JDshootsalot I obviously don't know what kind of gun you're shooting, but I have 4 AR-15's that I shoot Tulammo through with consistent good results. A couple years or so ago, I shot some Tula and it was incredibly dirty. However, I think they must have changed their powder formula because it doesn't seem to shoot any more dirty than any of the regular "good" brand name ammo does. I buy it at Walmart by the 500 round sardine can for $119.00 + tax and that equals out to be $5.09/box/20. Can't beat that for cheap plinking ammo!

[@JDsgreatz28]

Richard White actually Tula ammo is like $7.50 at my walmart now in ,223 and 7.62x39. its not worth buying for that. it use to be under $5 a box.

[@VanPrepper]

Thanks for watching and the kind words.

[@TiredOfApathy]

Good rule of thumb is to have 1000 to 1500 rds per firearm. MINIMUM.. To rotate as you practice and buy more. If you get down to 1000 rds STOP shooting an get more. If SHTF today and all you have is 200 rds you are screwed. Bartering is going to occur after things calm down and ammo is going to be more sought after than gold and silver. No need to Hoard if you buy a little at a time you'll do well. As for so many calibers SO WHAT. I got a bunch too. :) Ya gotta have a few long distance rifles and 8mm and 762x54R are awesome choices for the budget minded. 762x39 is a great medium range weapon so is .223, 22lr for plinking an practicing the fundamentals, 12ga for skeet and food collecting plus 00Buck for home defense. 9mm for personal defense. Nothing wrong with what ya got, ,dnt let people tell you that you got too many calibers to deal with. Different guns for different scenarios. My only concern was the one box of premium self defense 9mm, I would bulk tht up some. Other than that, good job.

[@VanPrepper]

TiredOfApathy Thanks for the feedback

[@TiredOfApathy]

Van Prepper NEWS FLASH The ATF are banning green tip M855 5.56 ammo ASAP so people are buying it up as we speak. Just read this morning and when I got to walmart there was a line. online is sold out in a lot of places. They dnt want us having penetrating ammo. Go to AmmoSeek to find 62 M855 online or run to walmart and look for ZQ1 5.56 Nato ammmo. Its like $10 for 30rds. No green tip but they are the penetrating M855 ammo :) Good luck and God bless you and yours.

[@DEK981967]

Whatever you do dont shoot up the Golden Tiger , that ammo will stay good forever !! Laquer coated ammo is waterproof and damn near scratch proof ! Poly ammo will rust easily and it is not water resistant !! Remember laquer for long term storage , poly for the range !!! Nice stockpile !!!!

[@VanPrepper]

I have been shooting the tula stuff because it is so cheap. The golden tiger is my reserve

[@midmoheadhunters9210]

Great vid. And very very impressive stash.

[@frequentfiler]

Cleaning a weapon after using corrosive ammo: use Windex, it neutralizes the corrosive salts from the primers. Clean three times before storing again. Or...you can piss in the receiver, does the same thing...

[@notenoughprepping]

Very nice stash

[@VanPrepper]

notenoughprepping Thank you

[@VanPrepper]

Duly noted. I am not particularly worried about it, but I fully understand the "don't post videos of your stash" philosophy. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@sniffmoneyArmsAndAmmo]

Very nice ammo stockpile good job on amassing it good video thanks for sharing subbed

[@sakiusad]

Good for you, I'm impressed...tons of steel casings though, but can't argue with the price. And we all need those steel casings for our AKs or Mosins... :) Good luck to you man.

[@lalaprepper]

Wow, nice stockpile 👍

[@VanPrepper]

lalaprepper Thank you.

[@jclemons8720]

great vid!

[@VanPrepper]

Thanks my friend

[@dougdavis958]

I hoard primers, cases, bullets and powder. I can load 1500 9MM rounds from a pound of powder. I buy it in 4 and 8 pound canisters. I can load a Hornaday XTP hollow point for a quarter. Shipped that round will cost you about $.75 each. I load for 5.56, 9MM and 300 Blackout. Those are my only weapons except for a Ruger 22. You can't purchase rounds that are as accurate as quality handloads.

[@dirrrtydawg9772]

I just want to dive in and swim through all that ammo like Scrooge McDuck in his money bin. Damn!!! That is just pure win.

[@anubisgodofgods]

I have a little over 26K rounds of ammo on hand. I get ammo cans for free from the Sheriffs office I work for so I have all my ammo in military ammo cans. I ended up getting a safe to keep my ammo in because of the money I have invested in it. Buy as much as you can especially surplus ammo like x39 and 54r just incase they ever ban ammo imports. I picked up 3K rounds of Golden Tiger when it was $234 per 1K with free shipping and I am currently at 4400 rounds of 54r and still buying it when I find it under $100 per can shipped. I think I have around 10K rounds of x39 altogether so I am going to concentrate more on 54r and 5.56 till I hit 10K on each of those.

[@Irish_Wanderer_cooks]

Great vid. One can never have enough ammo.

[@VanPrepper]

killinchy I agree my friend

[@jtnoodle]

killinchy I believe Matt @ the "never enuff ammo" channel would agree

[@lmaolamolamoroflroflrofl2569]

your bandolier should be stored without the rounds in it. I used to store it this way but when it would no longer hold the shells from being stretched for so long I no longer store it that way.

[@nolanlang3697]

Good Job Keep It Up Brother Take Care See Yaaa

[@flyguy1725]

great video.. im subscribing.

[@VanPrepper]

Thank you

[@Intoxified1]

OK where did the hot chick holding the rifle go?

[@MrJRR1414]

Nice stash of Ammo.......It feeds the trolls as well as the guns, it's just more humorous with the trolls. NSA/DHS could care lees how many rounds we have, they always have much more, when it's free, you get all you want.

[@militantx0660]

"Buy it cheap and stack it deep!" I like that motto but I won't stack that deep whatsoever! LOL!

[@alwaysarmed88]

i love seeing everyones ammo and guns. but i would never do this because it shows everyone and the government what i have and i dont want anyone to know

[@VanPrepper]

Do you mean the 7.62x39 or 8mm? I assume the 8mm as those bandoliers seem to be less hardy than the SKS ones. Thanks for the input.

[@martian59]

The point of stocking up is not due to criminals, terrorists or foreign governments. If the situation gets to the point where they try coming for your ammo it ain't gonna matter what they know or don't know.

[@johnarter8925]

nice stash

[@VanPrepper]

Thank you

[@VanPrepper]

I assume the NSA pretty much knows what most of have anyway based on the last years revelations.

[@TheFirstgoldking]

Cool stash....

[@lmaolamolamoroflroflrofl2569]

doesn't matter, the "spandex" will only work for so long before it wears out. So, if you store the ammo in it your wasting your resources..

[@VanPrepper]

Ok thanks for the tip.

[@jessebeckton3717]

Personally I would never advertise my stash to the Feds on youtube. If they want to they can pay you a visit, Google gives them your IP address, then your ISP tells them what your address is based on your account info and next thing you know ATF is banging on your front door.

[@oldredcoonhound2182]

Nice collection, If you need that much 54r for your mosin's, then I am going to have get a lot more for my two SVT 40s LOL

[@MrSgtJRNipps]

#1 rule of prepping

[@poindexter1387]

More is always better.....😎

[@mister35mmuk]

I hope you have a fire extinguisher and very good insurance. Your 'stash' can be a dangerous hazard.

[@mister35mmuk]

I have to say, the 'cover' photo is the ONLY reason I looked. Who is she anyway?

[@thegeniusprepper3225]

I really need to earmark a decent amount per month for prepping. Can you make a video for those who are just starting out if you haven't already? I have the mindset and a general idea of what to do but I can use some guidance.

[@jappyoccor2425]

YOU CAN ONLY FIRE ONE FIREARM FREIND. WELL, I MYSELF GOT 2 9MM 2 40 s&w, 1 45ACP, 1 22LR RUGER, 2 MOSIN NAGANTS, 2 12 GUAGE SHOT GUN, 1 AK-47, 1 AR15,, 1 30.06, AND A SLING SHOT LOLZZZ ON CORROSSIVE STUFF SPRAY IT DOWN BY AMMONIA OR WINDEX

[@VanPrepper]

The more the merrier where firearms are concerned lol

[@twilliams30286]

good vid ,,,,WHERES THE GIRL

[@billycramer3219]

how much of that ammo you willing to part with if and when you have to bug out? one can only carry so much.

[@mrouterrim]

I noticed A lot of loose ammo exposed to the air (not good)

[@JenniferinIllinois]

First video about a LOT of ammo. :)

[@heinekenboy6901]

need more videos VP

[@VanPrepper]

I have a C&R license and CCW so the local Sheriff's office and ATF already know many/most of my firearms which means NSA/DHS does too. As for the ammo you are right about everything bought with a credit or debit card or online. I suspect even the stuff I have paid cash for the NSA knows about (if it wants to know about it). If they are sophisticated enough to spy on heads of state then they would be sophisticated to spy on little old me without me knowing.

[@Battlecat357]

Buy it cheap and stack it deep. Interesting.

[@VanPrepper]

Thanks. I would love to see some pics or videos of your stuff. I love me some gun porn lol. This year has been awesome. My wife is on board with stocking up, and she has been to the range with me several times. Life is good when you shoot regularly.

[@midmoheadhunters9210]

Yes i understand. I make about 12,000 a year busting my ass for wally world so ik the feeling

[@lmaolamolamoroflroflrofl2569]

astounding how many people advertise to the nsa/dhs what they have, what they are doing and even by extension, what they believe. one word for you and all others that feel it necessary to broadcast this info....Commsec.

[@jarhead-cx4ny]

I am new to this. What is prepping?

[@VanPrepper]

jarhead6467 Prepping is simply preparing (for natural disaster, economic collapse, everyday life). It gets a bad rap because of shows like Doomsday Preppers, but it is just common sense. Every time there is a storm forecast you see store shelves empty of bread, water, milk, ect yet many people live their lives so unprepared that they have to run to the store, fight the crowds, and possibly have nothing. What we call prepping today was just everyday life a generation or two ago (having some food and water on hand to weather am emergency). This i not the best explanation, but I hope it helps.

[@fromontario6954]

buy it cheep and stack it balls deep! nice pile of ammo.

[@VanPrepper]

Thanks

[@cristianoguimaraes2147]

[@oldman5250]

cristiano guimaraes A naber of mine was outside talking on there cordless phone and didn't know that I was on the other side of the wooden fence. The grits of the conversation that I heard, was that they will start taking from there nabors when TSHF and there is no law. He dose not know that I heard him talking.

[@VanPrepper]

It is a disease, but like collecting guns, I am not looking for the cure lol.

[@guncrazy81]

Sweet man I do have some videos up on all of my guns. They are not the best videos out there but please feel free to watch some of them. I am with you I like gun porn myself . Please let me know what you think of my guns . I appreciate your time my friend.

[@ratroddiesels1981]

all i need is my 22lr to send my message to any zombies , im gonna be the greyman ,

[@lmaolamolamoroflroflrofl2569]

think your all missing the point. Why advertise? yes, they can find out some of the info but not all of it if you were smart.

[@johnc6738]

Why is it so many people these days feel the need to tell the world what they have?

[@ralfis1234]

what WROL stands for?

[@VanPrepper]

Without Rule Of Law

[@FloridaMan762]

without rule of law

[@ralfis1234]

Tnx

[@neatoelectro3687]

The "ammo shortage" is in large part due to this type of hoarding, this "oooh it's sparse so I'm going to buy it all" mentality. This wouldn't bother me to much if these actions weren't also driving the prices up particularly on the "cheap" 22LR. but I guess it's alright because if something happens it'll just mean plenty of supply for those who do survive. stocking ammo isn't bad, if done in a socially conscious manner, but buying so much so quickly is creating a false demand that will only facilitate these things that you're so fearful of. In the end it doesn't matter, it's just funny to watch people hopping on all these bandwagons. Enjoy shooting that ammo sir.

[@thealize808]

Do you take tactical training?

[@VanPrepper]

thealize808 Yes I'm a ninja

[@kikopower]

oh great... an ammo stash... real great... but is it still safe in the area? no! buy a freakin multi complex bomb shelter with solar panels... rain water filtration... water storage... ammo/weapons/ammo/food/water/anything supply storage... aquaponics room... generator... and a living area w/ kitchen/bathroom/bunk beds/ master bedroom/ living room/ radio and computer station/etc. ... nbc air filters and CO2 scrubbers and blast valve... decontamination rooms... and then you'll feel even safer than having an ammo stash!

[@white03Mach1]

where's the chick ?

Whatever you had to say was overshadowed by your stupidity of uploading /showing what you have stockpiled for the ATF to confiscate later - just sayin' *

[@tonyalangton7097]

The zombies are coming ! WTF get a life....... lol

[@russianoleg]

Yeah, because of guys like you, people cant find ammo anywhere. Cuz you just want them to sit on a table.:( if are shooting it. Don't freaking buy everything out!

[@VanPrepper]

First thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. Your logic is terribly flawed my friend. Blaming people who plan ahead for your lack is sad and inaccurate. You can order online or buy at a store just like I do. If you don't then that is your problem not mine. Have an awesome day.

[@dalethompson5645]

He buys them 3 boxes at a time, get out to walmart everyday like the rest of us and get your 3 boxes when they get in. Otherwise stfu.

[@VanPrepper]

Dale Thompson I always laugh that people blame for doing what they can do themselves

[@mrapple3702]

Shut up, get up early, and get to the stores for the ammo like the rest of us.

[@DaveSmith-cp5kj]

The problem is that ammunition companies or suppliers rarely employ proper supply and demand economics. When stock becomes low, suppliers are supposed to jack up prices. This reduces the amount of purchasers who are just plinking and allows ammunition to be available to those who truly need it and are willing to drop the coin for it. Examples are new shooters who need some ammunition to be ready, but can train by dryfiring and can afford to make a one purchase of $50 for 25 rounds. By doing this, there is always ammunition available for those who really need it. By having high prices, it also encourages new companies to start up a business by making cheaper ammunition to fill the gap. After all, when going in a business endevor you have to know what the current market price is. If the shelfs are out of stock, the entrapenur does not necessarily see this, only that 9mm is $8 for 50 rounds and figures they cannot beat the market price and do not produce.
