Remember, if you can't heat your home/vehicle etc, heat YOURSELF. Eat/drink something hot. Have warm bedding. Wear the right clothing and outerwear (non-cotton long underwear, Darn Tough merino socks, wool or fleece layers, something waterproof on top of you're outside. Layer up. Don't forget your hat! If your boots/shoes are not waterproof, put on a pair of wool socks, a plastic bag without holes, and cover it with another pair of socks and you'll have dry feet. Always sleep in a new, dry pair of socks. Have the proper wood processing tools if you are down to heating with wood - saws, hatchets, axes, sharpening tools and gloves/eye protection.

It's great to have sleeping bags! I definitely keep it in my car in the winter! And at home I have more sleeping bags than my family needs! There should always be a reserve! And this also applies to warm clothes, blankets and bathrobes (I don’t know why bathrobes are never mentioned in the list of what should be. It’s very convenient in the winter💯! And socks - yes!! Everyone advises having a lot! So recently my son lives separately from us in an apartment on the third floor, there was a fire at night on the floor above! everyone ran out of the building in what they were wearing (and it’s winter) and my son’s friend lives in the same building. so everyone came out without socks and took the most important thing! when it became clear that everyone is serious, of course they came to see their mother👏 I was glad to warm up my children and I’m glad that I have warm bathrobes! and socks! so friends, don’t relax! the bathrobes last a long time! and are very warm!🧡🧡🧡

I use deep cycle batteries connected into a alternative power connection into the house for power failures and use LPG heater, stove and fridge. Because it is pitch dark during power failures at night I have heard cars pull up stopped idling at the front of my house from me having the house lit up. I watched one prepper channel that said to get blockout curtains to stop that from happening (unwanted attention). Also good hearing you saying to get Carbon Monoxide sensors with burning fuels inside. It is a must have and life saving.

If you need food, do not overlook Dollar Tree for rice and beans, and bouillon, and Dollar General for canned meats. People forget these places keep these foods in stock, and most likely will have supplies when the big stores run low. You may also find some good food supplies at Lowe’s, Menards, and other big hardware stores in their food sections. Pet food, also. These places are also usually well stocked on paper goods, as well.

Thanks George, another great video with tons of useful information. For winter preps I would add handwarmers. I use a Peacock handwarmer which runs for 24 hours on one fill. I also have an electronic hand warmer which runs for 12 hours. Both work great!! Of course, you could use the disposable hand warmers as well. I have a small solar panel (25 watts) to charge my hand warner and small electronics. Soups are great to start storing before winter. I recently bought Mrs. Grass Soups (founded 1912) which makes a 1/2 gallon of soup in one package.

Thank you for your video. The only thing I'm not prepared for is a solar event such as an EMP, (Electro-Magnetic Pulse) This could be caused by a detonated nuclear device in our atmosphere as well. CME's (Coronal Mass Ejection) The sun is acting up something wicked right now and with our weakening "force field" called our Magnetosphere, a moderate event could fry every electric device on the face of the planet. Not to mention light every house on fire. It's called the Grand Solar Minimum, a 400 year sun cycle that has never boded well for humans. Do your own research. Can we say "The New Stone Age" people? Sure a faraday cage would protect your radio from an EMP, but what could you listen to? Walkie talkies would be handy though. A couple of CB's maybe, but I don't have them and who would I talk to? Myself? I already do that enough thank you. (Yer welcome) See? Commie Canada here, we're not allowed to get meds we don't need RIGHT NOW! The best I can do is freaking Polysporin, Hydrogen Peroxide and Band Aids. Still, in my decrepit old age, "Aleve" is a god send. Naproxen it's also called. I stock those things with some cough and flu meds. Hard Cough drops are good too eh? I go through footwear like there's no tomorrow. I have some good leather shoes stashed and a couple of pair of the good old rubber boots. I'll bite the bullet and buy a great pair of winter boots soon. Look up Roman Marching Socks for an alternative to our current form of stockings. I have enough fuel to run the genny for two hours twice a day to keep the freezers frozen for two weeks while I can up my three freezers. One freezer is a small economical one that I could run off the small solar system I have stashed. I also have a 600 watt wind power but you'd never get that wattage out of the thing unless the conditions were perfect, your cables huge, and the thing so close you'd hear it when it wasn't running. Four years ago I never thought I could get what I now have. The Gulag of Poverty is a harsh place for some. Have a great one and good luck.
