Greetings from the UK, I stumbled upon your channel trying to catch up with what is happening post Helene, and I have to say I am totally horrified by what you are doing here. The US is just a day or 2 away from a major Cat 4 storm and you are advocating for people to buy essential goods when they dont need them in the near future. I find it aborrent that you would advocate a course of action, reducing availability of items to folks that have an immiediate and dire need of this equipment. Folks can buy this stuff 6 months down the line when the immiediate need has passed. It is totally mindless what you are advocating for. Please think about your actions with 500K subscribers they have the possabillity of having a significant impact for the worst

You're my new favorite KZbin Channel. This is the second video where I felt you were literally just describing my exact life. We have a cute little homestead, tons of animals, years of food storage... and no way to power our pump. 8 days of dragging buckets of water up a hill from my pond and I feel like an idiot for not considering power as a critical prep requirement. All the other stuff we've done is completely pointless if we don't have power, so that's #1 on my list of things to fix. I'm going to be going fairly heavily into Solar, as access to fuel was a massive struggle in this event and I don't want to rely on something that needs an input that I can't control. This entire thing was a massive wakeup call for me, and I appreciate you doing such a good job of putting that into words and describing how I feel about this hurricane.

Love this video. Except hate what you are going through. I’ve been working on back ups to my back ups. I need to write it all down somewhere. We learned a lot from the freeze of 2021 Here’s some ideas small and large that come to mind. Solar. We can run one room and freezers and fridges on this if grid goes down. We can run our water well and septic too. Expensive but some peace of mind and we save on Electricity. Generator that can run on dual fuel and can be plugged into the house. Back up foods and ways to cook them or foods that don’t need to be cooked. Canned meats, PB, etc. shelf stable milk(dollar store), drinking water, etc. We have propane on our property so our stove and fireplace and hot water are on that. I’d love to get a solar Jackery charging station, but it’s an investment. We keep our propane tanks for blackstones full for emergency. We have a portable 35 gallon gas tank that we use for farm tools like 4 wheelers, mowers, etc. when things start feeling crazy (port strike) we make sure that is full along with other cans. First aid kits. We have the waterless cleaning cloths too. I’m working on building a go box if we need to grab stuff and get out too. This has been built over time, some is expensive and some not, so don’t think we are just having lots of $ laying around. This is 5 years of prep.

You have all the fallen trees for free, so building a new wood store when this is all over & keeping an eye on the forecast would help. If I sound a bit basic then here in the U.K. we don't get weather like that generally but I bow down to the effort you have put in so "STAND TALL" & be PROUD OF YOURSELF ALL THE BEST FROM THE UK.

Last winter we hit record breaking lows in Calgary. The power grid couldn’t handle all of the electricity being used in that temperature. It didn’t happen, but the government started threatening to do rotating outages if people didn’t voluntarily cut back somehow. It was actually quite scary for people who had no other means to heat their homes. We fortunately have a wood burning fireplace but quickly realized we were ill prepared with wood. Or 10 years ago when the river through the city flooded and destroyed homes displaced 1000’s of people. All that to say, even in an inland, major city centre, you never know what could happen, when or why. No one is immune and being prepared is so important especially if you have a family to take care of.

We have all these things, including the water Bob's and Dewalt fans. We have rain barrels too and drums and those stackables, solar chargers. The solar lights idea is brilliant and im getting those. Gen needs a whole home hardwire by an electrician with a soft switch and a whole home Gen off brand with 12,000 watt power duel fuel is a good size. Add carbon monoxide testers with Gen bc it can creep in. Must be in a safe place. Lots of details there. Tree trimming like oaks is essential. If you have trees grab a 30x 40 heavy duty tarp. A disaster bag is necessary( I have a list if needed thats any disaster).... We live in northeast Florida. Been through lots of storms my whole life..... nothing felt or sounded like Helene. In most cases, many could of never been prepared..... but we now know our weather, and this world is crazier than ever and it needs a disaster plan. She did an amazing job of listing items!!

Just turn off the power to the line. Flip the switch on your outside breaker box. So you won’t know when the power restores. Usually you have to reply on someone else to let you know when it’s back on. Maybe someone can explain this better than me. It’s literally just flipping the main switch that allows the power to enter your breaker box from the power line.

A good rule of thumb is ANYTHING will some kind of heating element draws a BUTT tonne of power so isn't worth using if you can avoid it 😊

We are thinking of you guys Angie, hope the power company gets you power soon. Do you guys have rainwater tanks? We aren’t on city water (rural Australia) and capture rainwater from our roof and store it. We have a whole house filtration system to ensure it’s safety. It may be a better option than smaller drums. In Australia because bushfire is such a risk and we have constant droughts everyone must have tanks when building a house. Ours are concrete above ground but you can also do underground tanks if extreme weather is an issue.

❤ it’s better to be prepared as much as you can. We use the “water prepared” brand of water storage containers with the “h2o ResQ” drops to keep the water clean & safe to drink. I highly recommend these two products for water storage. ❤God bless everyone! 🙏

We definitely need a generator but it's THE MOST intimidating purchase. I really think we need like 2 suggestions based on price point, per category. Like, solar, gas, electric.

I'm in Sunset, SC. Been waiting for this video since you shared your experience & that you felt conflicted sharing=considering W. NC/E TN. I related more than I can express. As a Charleston native feeling absolutely prepared. Not possible. 5 acres Blue Ridge near escarpment. I have a home generator connected w/ limited load. It failed. Don't forget the small battery pack chargers size of a phone to charge headlamps, phone, etc w/multiple ports in combination w/charging station. Also a low watt electric skillet for inside. Having trickle charger & having extra 12 volt battery. My first "shower" was dumping water naked on my property; exhausted, a little manic. Crying at the destruction all around me. Alone. The sky. Crystal clear. Vivid constellations. Milky Way. God, my ancestors, parents, mother nature, the land. Telling me to look up. Literally & figuratively. A reminder to feel & to really laugh through an expletetive, outdoor cleansing. First moment of joy. AHA. Keep sharing authentically! Always.

DO NOT hardwire your generator to your electric panel unless you are an electrician who really knows what you are doing! You have to completely disconnect your house power from the grid first or once the power comes back on you can have a huge power surge that kills you!

Idk if you know this, but you don't have to fill the tank to flush. You can just pour water from waist high from a small bucket or pitcher and the weight and force of the water flushes it down.

You never have enough water. Have a way to source water. Have empty clean buckets to collect water. if you have a well, install a hand pump.

Not sure if they still do but fema used to reimburse you if you purchases a generator in a declared disaster area up to $750.

Unless we address global warming, these storms are going to keep getting worse. We have to tackle the problem as the source.

And all those preparations would be NOTHING if your house floated away. That is so heartbreaking. I heard one man say he saw propane tanks floating by.... you can't prepare for losing everything. 😢

Honestly, I would say, if you can afford the first payment, put solar panels that can handle all your property`s needs.

"Solar charging station" do you mean an ecoflow?

Get a solar system with batteries that can power your entire house, if you can afford this. This is the more valuable than a generator, as you can clearly see.

the government did the best they could possibly do it was a whole lot of people in several states. Unfortunately, you were in a low priority. No mudsludes, no flooding if entire houses
