My health went south due to unseen events that left me on oxygen and wheelchair 24/7. I live in a mobile home community and get along with my elderly neighbors. In SHTF times, I’m staying right here. When the food and water runs out I’ll be gone. It’s that simple. I can’t run for the hills and only have my life’s lived knowledge to offer others in a community. Marauders can take me out quickly and that fact is what I live and die with. God bless you younger folks. This is one grandpa who’s staying home to the end.

Ive been learning about the plants around for food and medicine.

It's fight or flight. For those of us who aren't blessed with fighting skills, invest in a good pair of running shoes and run sprints on a weekly basis. For me it's Nike Free 4.0 Flyknit shoes which allow me to run as fast as I possibly can in a SHTF scenario. To test my training I walk through gang/drug infested neighborhoods from time to time to get a feel of what I must do to survive possible attackers.

My number one prep has been to improve my health. For the past twenty-seven months, I have eaten the Carnivore diet. I'm 75 and have now reversed T2 diabetes, high blood pressure, brain fog, and many other maladies. Life is much better once sugar and carbohydrates are out of the body. No more hangry, no more hypoglycemia and no more needing to eat or snack NOW. I eat once a day now and am easily able to go even longer with a clear head and ample energy. When SHTF, most people will be in trouble when that Cliff bar in their pocket is eaten and gone. Insulin resistance is our enemy. I'm enjoying life without sugar and carbs. Such an improvement!

I’m a strength and conditioning coach, and a prepper. The biggest hole in the preppers tool box is fitness. It’s not sexy, or some cool gadget, but it is essential! Walking with a light pack for an hour shouldn’t even register on your fitness scale. If it does, it’s a great indicator of what you need to work on. That being said, I was delighted to see several comments from people talking about improving their health and fitness. Keep up the great work! For the rest of you not working on your fitness, the best time to start is today!

[@melissa5907]

I’m in my 40s, had always been thin even after having 4 kids…. I was always active. But after having a corneal transplant in 2019, it had left me extremely light sensitive, house had to be pitch black, couldn’t even watch tv. Any amount of light felt like I was staring at the sun. I was quarantined in my home before covid even hit. It’s much better this year finally, but because of it I had gained SO much weight… couldn’t work, couldn’t leave the house, sat around for years in the dark. I want more than anything to get in shape, but my whole body is constantly hurting now… every bone and muscle in my body anytime I move. I’m 5’11, weighed 150 my whole life, now I’m 246 😢 We’ve been prepping for a few years, but you’re absolutely right… I just really don’t know how to get back in shape again, even walking now hurts so much, my back and ankles especially… it’s torture. Any advice, to make it as painless as possible?

[@kelleykennedy872]

@@melissa5907 I’m sorry to hear that. The problem with being so overweight and having medical issues like that is it’s hard to tell if you hurt because of the illness or the weight or what the combination is. First, start working on the diet. I like the Zone template. It’s easy and it works as a good starting point. Google CrossFit zone diet, a PDF will pop up. It’s about 4 pages and it lays out the basics and gives a food list and quantities. Second, start moving as much as you’re able. Start with easy walks, and simple movements like chair squats (sitting and standing from a seated position). Add in some basic pressing and pulling with light weights. Also, don’t forget to hinge! It can be as simple as toe touches or shin touches if flexibility is an issue. The most important thing is to stay moving. Use it or loose it.

[@alinaeana]

⁠​⁠@@melissa5907 I'm not an expert by any means, but as far as back pain goes, I would suggest starting with stretching and low impact exercises. Since you said you haven't had much opportunity for movement the last few years, I think getting your muscles loosened up first would probably be a good first step. Through a quick google search I found an article on Iowa Clinic called Stretch and Strengthen Your Way Out of Lower Back Pain that may help. I had back surgery when I was younger and these were the types of stretches and exercises the therapists had me do afterwards. Also, if you have a local pool nearby, exercising in water is a great workout and pretty low impact. Even if you just start by walking a few laps in the shallow end or lying on a raft and paddling with your legs/arms, it doesn't matter how small the steps as long as you start somewhere. Hope this helps!

Three seniors will not be leaving home, too old and disabled. We will hold on as long as we can. God bless all who are in the same situation.!

[@theShamrockShepherdWagon]

Same situation - but there are definitely things we can do. You know your health and home situation best, make sure you take steps for comfort in a prolonged pwr outage and supply chain interruption. Take care of things you can fix health-wise NOW. Stock up on at least 90 days of meds (more is better) Think through you and loved ones comfort scenario and buy accordingly for 3 wks, then 3 months as you can. WATER #1 - access to water source and filtration important. Find a canned meat you can tolerate like beef chunks, tuna, whatever Peanut butter great (protein!) HEAT - are you all electric or dependent on elec starter? can you survive in winter w/o pwr? consider a woodstove. Get a small tent for INSIDE your house to help stay warm. Make sure you know how to secure your home in all the ways you can think of. Very important to have a few things put away like puzzles, crossword puzzles and books you enjoy because most of us are so depended on electronics for entertainment it's a rude awakening with no power! Now is the time to network with neighbors and family if you can to ask them to check on you in a power down situation. Good luck!

We have relatives in Central America who would take them in.

Near your home, if you don't have a garden already, take a bag of potatoes and cut them up, leaving some potato eyes on each one. Plant them on nearby trails, etc. Many people don't know what potato plants look like, so they may be left alone, guving you a nurishing survival meal. They may even survive the winter if you cover them with leaves after the stalks have died. Same with carrots, onions and garlic!

Lots of great tips brother! As a former Navy recon pilot who went through SERE school I can say you have the priorities correct. Water, socks, calories. Lots of folks are putting out content on heavy bug out bags with knives, guns, protection, shelter etc. If you are on the move, pack light and take care of your body first...blister packs, sunscreen are in my pack. These items are small but make a big difference on long walks. Also I've been practicing ultra light camping with friends. My ruck weighs less than 10 pounds. I'm big on alcohol stoves like the fancy feast ones. Got a small hammock in it and min gear. Heck I even have an altoids tin packed with over 50 items. Cheers! Liked and subbed!

Yeah exactly. I was Navy Aircrew went through the same Sere pipeline up in Brunswick, and I would gotta say having water in you despite any environment would be a high priority.

[@sarahwitherell2000]

As a mom and once upon a time forest ranger I intentionally stay somewhat prepared on the daily. I have a small backpack I use as a purse that’s on me at all times. I have an epi pen, a multi-tool, bottle of Tylenol. Small first aid kit, sunscreen, folded poncho, heat wrap, about 10 single serve protein powders. About a dozen electrolyte mixes. A couple protein bars and fruit leathers, a life straw and a fire starter with paracord on my keychain. I also keep extra socks, roll up flat shoes for me and my kiddo and some diapers and wipes. It sounds like a lot but my bag weighs less than 10lbs and I feel like we are pretty well prepared for a few days to get where we need to go. At home we live remote near a river on a few acres. We’ve planted a food forest and have a garden and keep bees and chickens. Always hoping for the best but I do think an EMP attack or another form of mandated lockdown will happen eventually and try to be as prepared as realistically possible for us.

[@HerefortheLove]

Great items! Thanks for listing these. Can you tell me what paracord is used for?

[@sarahwitherell2000]

You can use it for a variety of things depending how much you have. Use it to string up a tarp or a poncho for makeshift shelter, use it to string up your food in a tree away from your campsite if you are in bear prone area, use it if you have to drag some bigger branches you can make a makeshift sledge… there are a lot more if you google or watch more survival videos. It’s just strong thin, nylon rope. Good luck with the prepping!

That'll be a lot of help when most people freaking out after an EMP in America have guns...

[@KyuketsukiRei]

Pretty sure rather than wasting a perfectly good boot lace or time doing that you'd be better off just picking up any piece of metal you can find while you're still in the city.. but okay. Also, an EMP is a bit different, people absolutely would be freaking out right out the gate. It's not like a natural disaster where you have some hope that normalcy will return to your area soon.

One of the first rules of evasion is stay off roads and trails. Be careful near water sources of being ambushed. Use stealth, cover and concealment.

have 5 acres waaayy off the beaten path at the end of a dirt road. 3 old large furnished houses on the property. have been prepping there for years. made a couple of generators out of several bicycle wheels that charge batteries using the current from the creek behind the houses. rain barrels at every possible place for fresh water. creek water hand pumped into wall hung cisterns for flushing toilets and bathing. took heavy equipment and created a long trench shelter along the creek bank then put the foliage back on top of shelter so openings are not visible unless you know where to look. 3 ft overhang of vines creates private access between trench dugouts. tunnels connect all 3 houses and can be used to access creek. stocked with 10 years of food in the larder and adding. 3 55 gallon drums with meat based pemmican and 3 with fruit based pemmican and adding. have 27 people ready to come if shtf as they are more out in the open. they have helped prepare the place for all of us. plenty of game on land. gunsmith is one of the 27. lead bars stacked in the armory. 12 of the 27 are former military/police. 4 are in medical field. weekly training mandatory for all planning to come. hope we never have to use it except to play but we do spend a weekend each month putting it through it's paces. completely primitive living with just what we have. of course we have a stock of plum and blackberry wine for the adults. kids get juice from the shoemake berry and we have a supply of bitter orange trees which contain an ephedrine like quality if needed. 3 gardens vegetable, medicinal, and dangerous. will be working along on it.

Getting out of the cities and becoming self sufficient is a great start. Once u leave your familiar surroundings, u will need all the essentials and the more people with u, the more issues that will arrive. Time will not be on your side. Personally I believe in building a small community of like minded people around u. Stay put in your out of city area where u have learned to be self sufficient. If u decide to go elsewhere, u will be in unfamiliar territory and expect others whom u dont know to go there as well. But above all of that seek wisdom from above.

[@dionisiodussart5629]

Hearing one of your packs without water was only 16lbs made me dance a bit in my seat. The GHB I made for my husband tops out at 17.02 lbs (without water), and with the right backpack strapped correctly, it feels like it weighs almost nothing, even for me. Mine is smaller and weighs even less as I've adjusted the contents to work with my build and strength. I envy your hammocks. Where I live, the routes we must take to get home do not support sturdy trees. Both bags hold emergency tents, but I'm looking for woobies, small tarps, and more garbage bags to make ground sleep more comfortable. The prices for everything keep increasing, and even thrift and army surplus stores are getting lighter on the gear I'm looking for as others wake up to the need for these items. That whole activity looked great! I especially liked Jason's advice about ducking into the forest on the side of the road and making a J loop backward. What a great way to lose a pursuer and even get behind them to keep an eye on them as you move.

exactly, people need to realize that most men who fought WW2 were all skinny boys from farm country, at least before training. Even if they buffed out lots on training, the war reduced them to being dammed near famished compared to what they were prior to training, rationing supplies in winter warfare does that its also why it is easy to gain weight upon returning, especially if they have any injuries no matter what they went through once home if they suddenly have to avoid moving to heal the weight gains just the same. Millions of brave men held the line through some very harrowing stuff at the chance of bringing sanity back to an insane world as they faced the danger directly that threatened the entire world, fascism. If they had not thought to best themselves before hand, if the men who trained them hadn't pushed them to disfunction while eating the best possible they would not of made it. I say this to inspire people. I have had cancer as a kid and starved as an adult, still alive. If I can make it, anyone can make it. God bless you all. :) Its really inspiring to see strong men pushing themselves and preparing for weakness so they can strengthen themselves.

Clean water and clean body. 3-Sol Bivvy (green) for shelter, warmth, protection from the cold, rain, wind) - It changes where you live: Dry climate requires a different set of supplies to a wet environment etc. A great way to find this all out is to practice on the weekends, just for fun.

Unless you live in Alaska, most water from streams, lakes and ponds are contaminated. Tablets only kill the bacteria, not the chemicals. You need a good filtering system. Always have some "filter straws" on you or have a rain/dew, catchment tarp. Also ground is a natural filter. If you dig a hole near a stream, lake or pond close enough to where it fills up slowly with water, it has been filtered by the ground! This is true, especially in Florida, where most of the ground is limestone.

Hey guys- I have a very dumb question for you. A little background for reference: I carry my walkie talkie with me everywhere I go, with fresh batteries, and a back up set in the same waterproof bag- and my sons father has the other one, we test them regularly, they are 30 mile range. We have both worked in law enforcement and he’s an Army vet, so we know how quickly people can panic. If all of the electricity goes down, will the radios work? I’ve looked this up and I’ve seen a few different answers. I thought maybe you guys would definitely know. Our plan in case SHTF is to basically stay wherever you are supposed to be when we have our son- so if something happened over at his house, I would make my way over there on foot, not making contact with anyone if possible, if something happened over here with having my son with me, then he would make his way to me. Having a walkie-talkie was the only thing that I could think of that could keep the lines of communication open just in case something happens and we’re not able to stay where we had planned on being, or if we are out just by chance. I have a bag in my vehicle just in case I do need to go on foot I can remove that out of my vehicle, and carry it long distance- I have two more in my house and I have also one for my son. He’s only five years old, so I taught him where his bag is kept and how to get everything out in case he needs to. He knows his NESW. We’re not trying to scare him but we do have conversations with him so that he can understand what he needs to be doing if he can see that something like this begins to unfold and for some reason I am not there or his dad is not there, God forbid. We’ve already witnessed in the past three or four years how quickly people can begin making decisions based on emotions rather than logic and reasoning, and how quickly that can happen, and then spread. What else would you guys recommend for communication? Any suggestions on what to pack in a child’s bug out bag, and also, what skill do you guys recommend for children to have? ( If they are not able to get assistance from an adult ) thanks from Michigan 🧤

[@WinstonSmith.74]

It depends on what causes the electrics to go down. An EMP from either a nuke or CME from the sun could knock out everything with any kind of circuit. I believe that un-installed batteries would be fine. Walkie-Talkies would be very vulnerable to any level of EMP as they have an antenna. A very simple solution is a basic Faraday-cage container: Just get a metal cooking pot with a lid (needs to have a tight fit). With the lid off - Put aluminium foil over the top, making sure there are no holes or gaps of any kind, and press the lid on firmly (maybe even add something heavy on top to keep it pressed down). A large pot should hold a few Walkie-Talkies plus mobile phones and other small electronic devices.... although mobiles may be pretty useless anyway since all the satellites will be fried. You can test if it works by placing a mobile phone in the pot and trying to call it. If there are ANY gaps in the foil, the microwaves will get through - they can even bounce around corners so it needs to be completely sealed on all sides to work. Even if the lid is just a bit loose it won't work. It doesn't matter if the devices touch the bottom or sides of the pot as long as they have a plastic shell (all the videos I found here on KZbin say you need to line the container with cardboard to stop items touching the metal, but that's actually not needed). Let me know how it goes and if you have any problems just reply and I'll try to figure out a solution.

What nobody realizes is fire is the first and biggest threat from an EMP. Especially if its from the sun. Its the long wave portion of the EMP that is the most destructive.

My experience. You can’t survive for more than a week out of a 72 hour bag and that’s why I don’t fly. I drive and no I don’t care if flying is easier.

My longest walk home for work is 200 miles and that’s why my GHB weighs 50-60 pounds wet (includes food & water) depending on how much water I’m carrying. If I’m staying local, less than 100 miles, I have a smaller bag. I would say that if you think you can support yourself on a thirty pound bag wet, or less, for more than three days while walking 15-20 miles a day, then I suggest you try it.

If you can't survive a 6mo trek on the AT, PCT, or MCT with a pack that weighs 25 lbs or less, you need more experience. Put down the military manuals and prepper books, and hop on the long-distance hiking boards; you'll learn more. Learn foraging. You should be able to hike and eat without slowing down much. In this scenario, they would (and should) be able to slow down, after they got out of the populated areas. They'll initially move around 25-30 mi/day. I'm assuming they don't live hundreds of miles from the airport, and they stated that they are heading home.

@@deborahhopkinson5243 - yeah, I hear you. I took the idea of cold soaking from thru hikers. However, what you’re not saying is they resupply every three to five days when they walk into town and pick up a box of supplies they had mailed to themselves then take a zero day eating in the local restaurants and sleeping in a hotel. I have deep respect for thru hikers. Some of the toughest folk around, however the idea that they can go ultra light and survive six months without outside help is something that should be avoided. If you know you have to travel more than 100 miles and you only have 2,000 calories in your bag and no outside help, you’re not going to make it.

[@deborahhopkinson5243]

@@fanman8102, whoa, I was talking about thru-hiking, not luxury strolls down the trail. "Resupply every three to five days?" Restaurants? Hotels? Wow, um, no. We call that PPP (piss poor planning.) A thru-hiker on the AT should be able to resupply no more than every two weeks (unless there is gear failure,) and overnight in a town only when the hike to town and back to the trail is too far. For the PCT and MCT, resupply can be longer. Towns are dangerous and expensive; they are not places to linger, unless they are a specific hikers' towns, like Harpers Ferry. Remember, a thru-hiker is moving with the weather and a deadline. This forces high-mileage days, for the most part, which requires calories to match (although not nearly as much as people think.) I've completed your last sentence successfully umpteen times in my life; I've done it with just a baggie of GORP. As long as someone can collect/find water, they'll be fine. If they need to rush to get from point A to point B, and they can't carry the calories they think they need, but they can collect/carry water along the way, they might be skinnier when they arrive, but they won't die, and they certainly won't lose significant weight in only 100 miles.

11:40 Big boy better work on that fitness. It's one thing to be doing the cool fun training and survival schools, but fitness is a must just for everyday life.

If there was an EMP and the airplane was on approach to Atlanta with everything below dark...wouldn't the plane drop like a rock as well?

Carry water in your water bottle and in a bladder if you have an inline water filter.

[@tezzapreston1]

if you ever need to get out of town or settle in safety in town always go up. Look at any crime map and you will notice something, people rarely walk up-hill to rob. When panicked and thinking on ones feet, this effect would be even greater. I discovered this when researches how to buy a house and looking at an interactive crime map.

and it makes sense..thanks

No one can prepare you. Just do the best you can. Have people you trust. With you

My biggest concern is an EMP hitting when I am 2000 miles from home.

[@jwdundon]

Me too... Emp or solar flare.... Keep working, keep adapting and keep building your ultimate get home bag. Mine is getting pretty good after 5 years of building and rebuilding. Keep in mind a good pedfel power road bike. You can travel hundreds of miles in one day.

[@tempest-523]

Agree, no matter how much you prep if you are a huge distance away from those preps they don't do you any good. Also it doesn't even have to be that far, if tribalism starts and roads start getting blocked as people group together to keep bandits / robbers out your ability to be mobile will decrease. Then add in desperation, any hunter with a rifle could snipe you before you even see them, then they come loot your stuff, so while physically capable to march 2,000 miles (over time) to get back home to your family eventually the further you go the more likelihood that some random unseen person will just shoot you and take your stuff.

[@jwdundon]

@@tempest-523 we should talk, your about the first guy who can see past his own nose. (Im thinking, every 10 to 30 miles from your home, set up cashe of gear, 5 gallon bucket with supplies). Be useful for GETTING HOME. Or running from home...

That is so much deeper than me. My biggest concern is where I can get the best street taco in my area.

That's quite a kit you have for just travelling by plane and being surprised by an EMP

[@jeffsweet6454]

Caution at the Creek. Towards the beginning of the video, y’all stopped at a creek for water. It wasn’t fenced off, so maybe that is why you didn’t appear to be cautious. Important to remember, our farm has a creek that crosses a small 2 lane road like you were on, ours is fenced. Anyone crossing that fence is trespassing and those of us living here will be protecting our land and supplies. We plan on putting a 50 gallon barrel on the road and filling it each morning for people walking the road, but with a sign that tells them they are being observed, take what water they need, and move on. Our group has discussed this. We want to help those traveling, but want it made clear that we will protect what is ours. As long as our food is doing well, garden is supplying plenty, etc., we may leave food for those traveling, we are still discussing that. The unfortunate thing is that trying to help others, also lets others know you have resources and unfortunately some will try to take those resources. That is unfortunate because we would like to help others, just like we would like members of our group who may be caught away from home to be helped. I pray that it never comes to this type of scenario.
