nope Totally agree. I always watch for simple things like instant coffee on sale at the supermarket. And i buy a carton of smokes once in a while despite the fact that I don't smoke. I watch how tense folks get when they can't have a smoke and it made me decide to add them to my preps. And of course, the smaller bottles of hooch will be fantastic barter items. Anytime the shit hits the fan, folks want their comfort "it'll be okay" things.

Whisky is a great pain killer. At least for a tooth ache. Back when I was 12 I had a bad tooth ache and no dentist was available for four days. My step dad at the time soaked some cotton batten in whisky and stuffed it in my molar's cavity and the tooth ache was controlled till I got to a dentist. I felt no pain . . . That was back in the 70's :) Cheers

scotch with honey and lemon in some hot water is an old scottish remedy to help sleep when youve got a flu or cold, but I prefer it with bourbon. and when stuck in the wilderness drinking one of these can make sure your body gets the rest it needs to recover properly. this is known as a hot tody for any one interested

I use everclear for years. Making medicines like herbal tintures, cough medicines and pain medicines. As Food preservative with sugar, brandied peaches, cherries, most fruits in this nature. In the old days, we had a spray gun called a "flipt" spray gun that we use a mixture of camphor oil,water, tobacco and everclear to keep the area of flying bugs on warm summer evenings. Good video.

Sootch00, in this, you said you had a pool this set my brain to thinking. How many Preppers have cement ponds as part of their prepping plans for drinking water? Do you use liquid muriatic pool acid? Well I do, I have a large cement pond that will be distilled to remove the salt and purify the water. I find that the acid jugs are not a cash value recyclable unlike other plastics so they are just a throw away. So I wondered are they reusable as a water jug. My answer is yes. I first emptied a one gallon jug of standard cement pond acid in to my cement pond as I normally would do. Then as I normally do becauze I'm a cheap old fart. I rinsed out the jug with cement pond water making sure I covered the whole of the jug’s interior with pool water three times. Triple rinsing is a standard practice in the chemical industry. After that a sniff test didn’t yield an acid smell, just a cement pond water smell that’s a good sign. Then I filled the jug up with my compound's softened tap water to see if the pH was the same as tap water which tests at a pH of 7.2. I took 2 samples from the jug about 10 min apart both samples were also a pH of 7.2, So it is my opinion that cement pond acid jugs can be used to hold drinking water at least for a short period of time 2-4 weeks. One advantage is pool acid jugs are about 100 % thicker then milk jugs and even the cheaper Walmart purified water jugs.

Holy! I never thought of this! I haven't drank in over 3 years but always hated liquor just drank beer. But this could be useful to even just have a small container of on hand or for camping.

The Sootch Hootch. LOL I do not drink, but keep this on hand anyway.

Sootch and his hooch!

Awesome item to prep nice one brother

I'm not an alcoholic or anything like that but loved that you mentioned it.

Hey Sootch! Some of us live somewhere north of the carolinas and we have this situation where water gets so cold and hard it just won't come out of your canteen anymore. One time a friend and I went out for some winter activities in 10 degree weather. He got thirsty, but his canteen had turned into a block of ice. My canteen water was still liquid because I had thought to add a shot of whiskey to the mix. I've heard a few guys say not to do that for this or that reason. But I have never heard of any other way to keep your canteen from freezing in the winter.

i have used rum for aftershave it works really good

Salt, sugar, alcohol, tobacco and fuel will be in very high demand in a shtf scenario so if your going to stock up on anything stock up on them. And if your going to barter make sure you only ever deal so much and only carry so much on you because people will rob you, and only trade so much in the same place form the same reason.

My best SHTF skill, it seems, is that I make my own beer and wine. They’ve closed down most liquor stores in Pennsylvania and I don’t even have to leave the house for mine. I only use glass to bottle my brews. It’s the absolute best for keeping freshness at its best.

Nice video, like the multiple use videos just got to figure out how I'm not going to drink it all first

Most amusing video I've watched today. But it is a good prep. I'd stick with the higher proof as it's more versatile. It's easy to dilute the strong stuff if required.

Hah! I've got tons of booze in my home bar that I rarely ever drink-I mostly like buying it to collect pretty bottles. Sometimes the liquor comes in a gift package with shots or whiskey glasses or even hip flasks which adds to the "collectibility" lol

Did he say "medicimal" at 2:48? 😂 great advice though Sootch. Good video, very informative.

Good video. I maintain a well-stocked bar at all times although my wife and I barely drink at home. I will include a handle of Everclear in my bug in kit (now that my boys are grown, lol) I'll also get some small bottles of Vodka and Bourbon for my SHTF bags.

Good video Soocth, I personally like the idea of small sizes and cheaper brands, you can afford to stock more and it keeps forever. Travel size and half pints maybe a few pints...I think in a grid down type situation if cheap booze is all that one can get then it becomes top shelf and quadruples in value.

Interesting...Learn something today..

Great video I store half gallons and small pints

Good idea. I have been adding booze. I go out and purchase some alcohol for trading and all of the other things you mentioned. I need more variety ;-) I don't drink either so having booze around isn't a temptation whatsoever. I think having some cigarettes or cigars would also be a good barter item, especially better brands.

Man that gem clear is no joke.... I remember the one and only time I drank it. I was a fresh 21 and I saw a friend almost choke to death it was so strong for him. I called him a sissy and took a nice big swig (rum is my usual drink of choice, & I wasn't thinking) & holy crap. Then, being the genius that I am, I decided to do another ten shots.... Not only have I never let the stuff touch my lips again, I didn't even have so much as a beer for several weeks! Lol Some of us have to learn our lessons the hard way. That tip on running vodka through a filter was really interesting though... Definitely gonna try it. Thanks for the vid!

I think I see a Korean cook pot in the background. I would love to know where you got that, they are fairly uncommon in the United States.

19 up here in Canada!

You can also use alcohol to make extracts l

Nice! I'm gonna put at least one 13oz in my back...even if it's just for medicinal purposes ;)

Some suggest stocking tobacco, even if you do not smoke for the same reasons. Stock it, or growing it in your garden if you have the climate.

I drank a whole small bottle of russian standard for a tooth ache. Stopped the tooth ache for sure, but the headache in the morning might not have been worth it xD

They are also useful for cooking

I've also read about the filter and vodka method. In the test I read about, they used a Brita water filter and it basically made bottom shelf Mohawk-type vodka indistinguishable from something like Smirnoff or whatever (blind taste test). I never cared much when I was a drinkin man, I drank the cheapest shit you could buy.

No " Liquor, two thumbs up!!"? Oh, yeah, that' the Sootch00 channel!

Thanks

I try to put ETOH away but I think my Dog drinks a lot, when I get up in the morning there are beer cans all over the place!!

Interesting video, love the channel. I couldn't agree more about alcohol, it's very useful in many ways. Problem is, due to high taxes and regulation it's very expensive. It can be made for pennies on the dollar at home if you have a distillation setup, which I think would be a much better investment than simply buying booze. Also, if it's not being consumed, isopropyl alcohol, denatured ethanol(ethanol like in liquor, with methanol added so it's not drinkable and thus the alcoholic beverage laws don't apply.),methanol, etc will all work for antiseptics and fuel and are very,very cheap. 250mL of isopropyl alcohol can be had for ~$1, that much liquor would be several dollars.

A colloidal silver generator would come in handy for a SHTF also. As long as you can get or make distilled water. It can be used to kill germs, viruses, bacteria, good to treat cuts, treat colds/flu, ect.... Mine uses a 9-volt battery. You could use a solar panel to power it.

Heard a friend talking the other day he picks up the 2 for $1 shooter bottles for stockpiling. This way he can dole out a few at a time, don't necessarily want someone to get a half pint, pint or half gallon of liquor but a few shots is safer.

As for medicinal uses, "cold and sore throat treatment" I strongly suggest using vodka, or everclear and other clear liquors for making herbal tinctures, especially with yarrow. Look up Yarrow Willard on You Tube. By the way I'm not a habitual drinker so I'll store your booze if you don't trust yourself. Hahahaha!

Valuable for trade,medicinal and morale. Better have some put aside!

What do you think about using protein jugs to bury ammo and what not? Would the plastic be thick enough to stand up over years, and what type of steps should you take to help secure the contents. Like is you wanted to store ammo in it, should it be bagged in a freezer bag, double bagged, vacuum packed, any suggestions would be great.

Excellent video! Time for my toddy.

Been stocking up on alcohol and tobacco for a while, not only is a drink and a cigar a good stress reliever (for me anyway) they're great barter items

I barely drink at all... but I do have a storage of whiskey specifically for bartering... Seems lots of tradesmen are functioning alcoholics.

What are your thoughts on using say everclear as a gun solvent ?

Funny, but good information
