A one dollar can opener from the dollar store is a bad idea. I bought one and it broke the first time I used it. If you are depending on a can opener for camping or shtf, buy a quality one. A can opener is too valuable of an item to risk it not working.

Give it a try sometime..... and yes you must be very careful not to buy stolen articles when buying second hand even at flea markets or garage sales. Always trust your instincts.

Maybe a bit of silicone caulking or other form of sealant would make these last longer? It's probably that the humidity in the air is getting inside them, and when it gets cold in the nights it condenses onto the circuit board. Someone with more electronics expertise may be able to suggest what you could do if you can open it up, in order to protect the board inside to last longer.

The double carabiner bungee cords are great. I use one (from Dollarama too) to carry groceries over my shoulders, because I usually walk to most shops, but also typically want to maximize what I can stock up on in fewer total trips. Which became even more relevant with this pandemic. I doubled over the bungee cord and wrapped it with some fabric to shorten the total length to about 2ft, and give it some padding around it. I fill my backpack with the heavier/dense stuff, and then split the remaining goods into two reusable bags. One bag for each carabiner clip. I sling the now bungee-cord connected bags over my neck, after putting on my backpack, and then I can walk or bike with hands free. The two clipped bags hang in front, balancing out the backback weight, which is why I prefer this a bit over simply having a larger capacity hiking bag for now. Yeah, I could probably just buy another backpack and wear it on my chest, but this way, I have a lot of flexible carrying capacity with me in my bag at all times, should I be on an errand and discover a good sale on something or the bulk of lighter objects would be a waste of backpack space.

At least HALF of the food we have put back has come from Dollar Stores. Its very good quality and it allowed me to buy more 2nd Amendment Pellets....

Really enjoyed your humor in this episode! You made me chuckle a few times, thank you!!!

Outstanding. Well covered. It's amazing, just how many items, have Bunches of survival uses. Crystallized bleach, is very handy and lightweight, if you need to Bug out. So many great items. Seems like each different Dollar store, has it's own unique collection of items. Good to shop several store's for items.

hearing that intro... I knew All American Prepper will come in the video even if just for a second 😂 And he did!

I am already looking forward to rewatching this in a few years when I will finaly be able to go full out on the shopping.

This is the best Dollarstore ever. The products they have are amazing. Let's go Brandon!🤘

Went to one of those $ stores in Kamloops, BC in 2016. Wife and I was pulling an RV down from North Pole, Ak. and the wheel bearing went out Lol! I found a dealer that had the parts, so I repaired it in the parking lot of Days Inn.

My brother in law had a sign in his yard that he made. It said, " This Property is Protected by a Twelve gauge Shotgun Three Days a Week. You Pick Which Days. He didn't have any more problems with people walking through his property lol.

Great idea for a starter kit with the ability to upgrade individual items later when able. I will need to buy new items for everyday life soon when I move to my new place in a few months, most of this list matches what I will need. Loved this idea.

Your Dollar Tree has absolutely nothing like our Dollar Tree is due. You're always actually has some useful stuff.

I feel good I already buy a lot of the items you talked about. Love the spring clamps. I use them for chip clips to close the bag

Hi, Prepper. The best wipes for "sponge bathing", if you can get them, are Fisher-Price baby wipes. They are great, because they actually absorb odors as you wash with them. I have used them many times and they really work well.

Being math challenged, I was shocked by totaling up your shopping spree: I am afraud you spent $278.14. LOL GREAT SHOW

@ Terry Florence.... "I am afraud".... Freudian slip, I guess....

On the pot, go to the pet section and get a stainless dog bowl. On making bleach with Pool Shock, be careful what the additives are in the pool shock, which could make the bleach you make unusable for water purification due to toxicity.

Extra toothbrush pack ... when you upgrade to a better brand later, these can be for barter or the “help a friend” pile.

Ive been doing this for yrs, i first started in 9-11-01 👍👍👍👍

I wrote this all down. Its good to have a list in Emergency mode. I have these items but put them in a storage bag or tote in case of going on the run...best of luck y'all. THX C.P.

Wow, your dollar store has some cool stuff. Never would I have thought I'd see a cast iron anything in a dollar store. Thank you for being an inspiration. God Bless you and your family!

Cool beans on the cheesecloth usage. Never thought of many of them. Hair elastics? I never woulda thunk it.🤗 Kids backpack? Good one. Foam disposable plates can be washed a time or two if care is taken.

Love these! Thanks so much, CP!! I took notes!! I have quite a few of these already from our local US Dollar Tree and appreciate new discoveries. I've also found the following items to be helpful and a bargain there: ibuprofen (40 tabs), acetaminophin (40 tabs), allergy tabs (40 ct. - same active ingredient as Benadryl and many sleep aids... dyphenhydramine), alcohol wipes/pads (100 ct), Wet Wipes hand wipes (40 ct. tub or purse pack), Huggies baby wipes (40 ct.), tissues (120-ct box or 6 Puffs purse packs), plastic cups (20 ct. Solo-type), styrofoam cups (20-ct. large, 40-ct. small)

Thank you CP. I have been prepping for forty years. I always learn from you!

My regular Dollar Tree payday list: soap, toothpaste, Curad bandages, batteries, cookie mix, ibuprofen, canned vegetables and fruits, spices.

You have some good suggestions. I like the cheap coffee filters, since there's a good chance I'll never use them. The dried bleach/pool treatment tip was helpful. Earlier this year, when we couldn't find bleach Walmart had lots of pool treatment chemicals. I suspected that they'd work but wasn't sure. Since regular bleach has a limited shelf life, the dried stuff looks useful. I think I'll pick some up and include a tip sheet on how to use it in case I forget. I noticed that the over the counter meds at my dollar store usually have about one year on their stated shelf life. I live in the the south, and the interior of a vehicle can easily get over 120 F in the summer. Even top quality meds will break down in that heat. I keep an assortment of these cheap meds in my vehicle first aid kit. Every so often I pitch the expired stuff and I'm only out $20 or so. Some solar yard lights sell for as low as a $1 each. Keep in mind that those are inexpensive solar battery chargers. Where else will you find something like that for one dollar? I like the ones that have a switch that let's you turn them on and off. I also look for the ones that have easily removable batteries. Most solar lights run on AA rechargeable batteries that are 400 to 600 mha. Those don't have a long run time in some devices, but they are better than nothing. They will run some LED flashlights on low power for a long time. You can use the light itself for interior lighting (think a kids night light), or recharge your better batteries in the lights. You can charge a higher mha battery over the course of a couple of days if you turn it off so that the solar light is not coming on at night and using up your battery. I have a couple of LED lights than run on a single AA. Their lowest settings claim 45 to 60 hour run times. With 8 or 10 solar lights I can keep a couple of flash lights, or a head lamp running for a long time. Whenever I come across non working solar lights I try to scavenge the rechargeable batteries. More than half the time when the light doesn't work it is not the battery, but the seal around the solar panel had failed allowing the internals that control the charging or diode to fail. I throw the batteries into a smart charger and they usual come back to life. I use these cheap, low mha batteries around the house for clocks, cheap household flashlights, and my computer mouse. About once a year, or when a big storm is heading my way, I'll make sure they are all fully charged.

I use coffee filters for filtering scraps out of home made or vinegar or broth before I can it.

All the items mentioned by you are also good for regular disaster preparations. I keep mine in heavy duty plastic bins in case of tornadoes, heavy rains. Easy to store, to throw into my truck bed or take into temporary shelters.

Great video. I go in the dollar store often and I always think about what is here that I can use in emergency. Your discussion on the uses opened up uses I hadn't thought of. Thanks man. Much appreciated

If you buy one of those cheap folders at the dollar store, you're going to be needing that super glue to stick your skin back together when the knife breaks at the hinge. Yes, one of those cheap folders broke when I was using it. The "keeper" that prevented the knife from folding backward broke when I was using it.

Valuable lesson on the limitations of cheap chinese folders,however don't knock them all because of that, some of the cheap chinese folders (enlan in particular) i would pit against others costing 20 times as much and be just as confident in its ability to equal or even surpass the more expensive ones capabilities

This is very useful information. Keep up the good work Canadian Prepper.

This was good. I like the new intro and the fast moving screen changes as you move from item to item.

I love the idea of using the car shades. Great tip! Don't forget to pick up matches at the dollar store. Can't beat that price.

The most practical Dollar Tree "shop with me" ever created. No decorations, just survival. 💪

Can not praise it more..........Gorilla Duct tape over Any other .........Worse is Chinese made Dollar store Duct tape Its thin And the glue is very poor You will never patch a tent with it Gorilla tape works even if its wet Sure its more money But you only need to use it once... Another good use Is multi size fish hook kit Your not going to catch Trout in a pond or river with a bass hook..

I agree with only using Gorilla tape. Had a plastic skylight crack. Used gorilla tape and it was good for a year. ( Was laid off for a year before I could fix it.) Full sun for 10 hours in the summer and snow loads in the winter and it never leaked.

Thank you so much. New to the channel. Detroit's dollar stores are limited in selection, so traversing more that two would yield a haul like yours.

Thanks for making these videos !! I have learned a lot from you and several other youtubers about prepping.

I'll definitely check out my dollar store with $35. I heard they also sale hand held fan. Here in the Southwest I'm sure I can benefit from a 1/2 dozen 😀👍🏼

Then I like the Dollarama much better than Dollar Tree! You guys have a pretty decent stuff

The sunshade you are holding is what I used to make a solar oven with.

Great informative video, plus- you made me laugh! Nice to have a sense of humor, even when discussing prepper and SHTF content. Thanks!
