I was born in Romania, and i was a child during the Ceausescu dictatorship. My grandmother who survived both world wars did not throw away anything that could be used for something. Not even a plastic bag. She often washed the plastic bags if they were not clean to use them again. We had petroleum lamp in case of no electricity ( what was happening quite often due to electricity saving of the government at that time). She also knew how to make home made soap from leftover animal fat, and knew how to make new and functioning candles from leftover candles. She told me once that if modern day people would face a war and poverty now, many would die because of not being prepared even the basic survival skills. And she was right.

I started prepping as a child on the farm. My mother’s reason was “just in case...you never know.” I continued after I was married and my children used to kid me that I was prepared for a war. All these years later they are now calling me asking for things they cannot find in the stores due to the corona virus. One of them even apologized for giving me a hard time when she was still at home. I’ve also been canning for as long as I can remember and have been eating very well throughout these very difficult times. Prepping works!

Put all in a solution, drop a clean rag into it. wring it out, let it cool a tad, and apply to the wound and let it sit for a couple of minutes. It kills/cures anything!

I must say that your comment is an excellent addition to this thread! Most people have a few little prepper items or they have a trick that they learned from MacGyver.. but when the supplies dwindle and the MacGyver tricks no longer work what will you fall back on? Do you have any idea how to build a fire without matches or just how difficult it is? How about constructing a shelter? Just the most basic rudimentary skills can eventually save your life. When I was a kid my Marine corps dad would take his camping and teach us what he called Bushcraft. Basically our assignment was to make something useful and necessary out of nothing with only what we could find or had on hand. It was a fun challenge as a child and yet I learned so very much from it! What can you do what skills do you have that will make you valuable to a group or to a community? Not everyone is going to have the perfect place to go hide out and hold up alone and survive well physically and mentally. During the pandemic since I already knew how to garden and preserve my food and forage for food and so and cook and make bread I already had homemaking and survival skills this time I taught myself to make alcohol and vinegar! Two more skills to add to my list in my basket of skills! Again you make a fine point and I'm surprised that this was the only one about learning and gaining your own skills!

They also sell fancy heat for a dollar it’s a can that will cook food for 2 hours. You can also take 4 bricks with the jar n the middle to safely heat to keep warm in your car or house. Or make a stove. Dip a cotton ball in petroleum jelly. Light it to start a fire. Plus it’s great for the dry skin if you have no lotion. Take a small flashlight insert the light in the bottom of a liter bottle. Light pointing in and duck tape it. The light will magnify enough to light a room. So what are your hacks? Share them now so we will be prepared. God Bless you all! Pray for humanity. Preparedness will give you peace. To deal with what’s coming our way.

Tanya Washington I stock unscented bleach (do not get splatter resistant either), evaporated milk, canned meats, canned vegetables, canned fruits, etc...make certain you have a good hand operated can opener (no electricity). Toilet paper, Kleenex, soap (grater so in case you run out of washing detergent, you can grate the soap), clothes pins, utility rope, fabric softer (a must if you have to hand wash your clothes and dry in the sun, or else your clothes will feel stiff and itchy). Charcoal if you have a grill or Dutch oven, we take advantage of the scattered tree limbs and burn those to cook first after a hurricane. Ziplock bags, aluminum foil, parchment paper (when cooking certain food items in the Dutch oven like bread or biscuits). Oil lamp, lamp oil, non chargeable flashlights (battery only), personal battery operated fan. If you can afford it, get a generator, use it to randomly keep your refrigerator going until you can eat or dispose of the food. If you have animals, make certain you have a months supply of food and water for them also. Keep all of your important papers in 1 safe place and in a ziplock bag. Keep any and all medications in one place (I keep mine in a reusable Walmart bag, so that if I have to leave in a hurry I can grab it and go). A battery operated radio that will pick up both AM and FM (after hurricane Katrina every single radio stations towers were destroyed within our area, at some point we were able to tune into one on the coast on an AM frequency. It was our lifeline to the outside world). Most importantly, get playing cards, a board game, and/or crossword puzzles. You have no idea how bored you will be sitting on the front porch with no wind and battling love bugs and mosquitoes. We went 19 days without electricity and I almost died from boredom and heatstroke daily. Anyway, I hope that helps you.

All useful things like dried and canned fish and meats, pasta, beans, broth powder, rice, and canned veggies and fruit, flour, yeast and sugar. Canned and dried milk products. Plus medicinals like Tylenol and Imodium, and cough syrup, Benedryl, etc. in case we don’t have access to the hospital. A new big first aid kit, plus alcohol, peroxide, and antibiotic ointment and calamine lotion. A half gallon jug of Dawn and a big sack of toilet paper. We already had stocks of batteries, etc. As I pulled the cart away from the counter, I overheard the young clerk talking to the next customer about hoarding. I just smiled and left, and wondered where she would find food and shelter when the flu shuts everything down for a while. I’m one generation away from the Great Depression, and I listened to the old folks’ stories.

My parents grew up during the Depression, so when I was young, we did these things that can save you money now, and save you materials in an emergency: We washed and reused foil, plastic wrap, sandwich bags, and any plastic food container. We had to take off our school clothes when we got home and put on old clothes for around the house. We all knew how to sew so we could sew on buttons, hem clothes, and repair seams. Don’t throw away cloth. Reuse it for cleaning and dust rags.

One thing I buy that has multiple uses is Zote soap. You can bathe an wash clothes with it. And if near pond, river or lake catch fish. It's pink. I cut it in half inch squares for fishing. Take a limber willow sapling or some other an attach line. Jam into bank with 2 branches in cross holding up in air. Tie on hook an cast line in water with hook. Leave if want an can catch fish. Call it a Set pole Can also dig for worms or grubs an catch small bream an use for bait. Use large hook. Keep alive an hook through top of back. Large fish like live fish Caught one that fed over 4 people. Used the soap an filled up 8 ft long table with fish using the soap It works I also buy cans of sardines. Drain oil. Add some Worcestershire sauce. Little Creole an pepper. Put on cracker. Yum. I call it poor man's caviar. Lots of protein. Keeps for long time. Great snack.

Tarps can also work as a clean place to stand while showering and a curtain for bathing and privacy for when narure calls

I started stockpiling around 2010, my adult kids thought I was a little paranoid. Then covid hit, they came to me for food. Then we had a freak ice storm for a week in Texas and had no electricity for 5 days in zero temperatures. After it thawed the grocery stores were empty. But I had food. I learned I crave butter and need to stockpile more cat and dog food. And get an ax to chop the ice up in the livestock water trough which I’ve never had to do in 66 years of life.

Good video. Practice your prep too. Create a mock scenario to test yourself/skill. Having all this “stuff” and not knowing how to use it is pointless. Try surviving a weekend with no utilities and learn from your weakness. Try it when it’s in a control environment instead of a panic. Remember KZread won’t be here to help when SHTF so learn now.

We also make sure we have first aid items, batteries, flashlights, solar powered everything we can get our hands on and generators with extra gas. That's just a small part of the list.

I've always kept a couple boxes in the trunk of my car for anything that comes up. Change of clothes socks warmer layers and a jacket, lighters matches simple toiletries, duct tape plastic and just anything that I can think of really. I'm always adding to it too. Think the last things I added were a penny alchohol stove, a hand crank flashlight, and a water filter straw. I also came across a power converter that allows me to use my car like a generator and plug in different appliances. What's great though about the trunk boxes is that, wherever I go it's nearby, so I'm always thinking of or finding new ideas to add to it. For me at least it's been easier than trying to remember a kit stored at home and remembering to put things in it, like at home I sort of assume eh I I probably have it, but in the car I like the feeling of being prepared and it motivated me somehow.

melatonin, entertainment (cards, books, games for children), dryer lint can help start a fire, whetstone (a dull knife does not work well), large bandana's are multi purpose and light weight, a good pair of scissors, hard candy (a nice treat as well as for someone who's blood sugar drops)

Scissors Strangly useful

Just an addition - love your advice on here - here are just a few more suggestions I’ve found work. Wax blocks - you can water seal anything. You can make a water bladder with material wiped down with melted wax. You can also seal an injury with ‘warm’ wax (not too hot) if you have to wade through water and you have an open injury, warm wax OR super glue will seal that injury and protect you from bacteria. Parchment paper makes cooking so much easier, little to NO clean up. Dollar store clear shower curtains - multi use. Grain alcohol is great for medical sterilization and cheap. Alcohol also burns clean and is great if you are stuck indoors and must cook without electricity. I’ve used all these items in bushwhack camping - boondocking - hunting excursions. When you don’t want to leave a footprint, use minimal throw away items. Vaseline, added to cotton pads make a GREAT quick fire starter, especially if you can only find damp wood. All these items have MULTI-uses that I did not list. The military puts out a combat survival book, updated annually, that is a MUST have - covers everything triage, including birthin’ babies 😜. You can find them used at used book stores, as well as online. Having an herbalist book on hand can help as well. I grew up learning survivalist skills, more than hunting & fishing, and am so thankful some 40 years later. Who’da thunked, my practical & wonderful dad who wanted his girls to know how to take care of themselves!

Brilliant idea 👍

I make my own santatizing wipes. I buy unscented baby wipes and pour a 1/4c of alcohol in the bag and a 1/4 cup of Peroxide. I carry these with me daily to clean any public bathroom I use or at church or at a friend's house. You can also use veggie oil to make lanterns. I come from Alaska and I used to use charcoal in my wood stove. I am going to prep that in my kit also. Please when prepping don't forget about your personal medication. Buy the 3 month ahead kind tgat way you won't be worried about it. People who use shots and needles get extra boxes, but don't store them out in the open. If you're diabetic some mail out Rx places will let you buy supplies for 3 months to get ahead. You just need a prescription from your doctor on file. Don't forget about your fur babies, foods and bedding for them or crates that are in good repair.

Got myself two terrocota plates and pots, turn it over and place over three small tea lights. Retains the heat and It will heat the room up in minutes. Of course elevate the pot and choose one with a hole at the bottom 😊 Also, a guitar plectrum (celluloid) you can shave this easy material to start a fire with and it lights real good. Also, tin foil is amazing as the content stated. I watched a guy fold some around the end of a screw driver once and mould the rest into a spatula. Dry food good to have too Nuts Salt Sugar Coffee whitner Dry milk Dry egg Flour Crackers Cocoa Spices. I remember my nan telling me that food is barter if youre ever in a crisis. God bless and may angels protect each and every one of you. 🙏❤️

I never see anyone mention oil lamps. I have 20 of them. I also stock up on their wicks and purchased a 5 gallon metal gas can and filled it with lamp oil. Oil lamps source of head, light and even heating soup.

One thing that popped into my head: cotton twine. You can use it for all kinds of stuff, including hydroponics and making an oil lamp, making your own candles. It's cheap, strong, can be boiled to sterilize, can be waxed for use as wicks -- you get the idea. I always keep at least one ball of it around. And I'd like to see a prep kit for our pets, too, as someone else mentioned.

Just to add a few things for the ladies. Female sanitary products ( I have 3 teenage daughters) so literally have multipack boxes stashed away, Fungal cream for Thrush, water infections and the like (Canistan, etc) My needs as a Man and Dad are easy, but females have other needs in personal hygiene, etc. and any sort of serious infection in the ladies lower parts could cause serious complications not only to her, but also the group if it gets out of hand and serious, as antibiotics may become a problem in getting hold of. Get the products now and stash them away, much like already done with extra soap, disinfectant, toilet roll, etc. Personal cleanliness is the number 1 priority, to keep infections away when no drugs available or in very short supply.

One thing you could do in terms of batteries, that I also found at a dollar store was battery adapters. Little plastic and metal adapters that fit inside each other like nesting dolls, so they are super space savers and allow you to use AA or AAA batteries on anything that requires C or D batteries. You can even use the AAA to AA adapter to power your AA stuff with AAA if you run out of AA. Really useful in a pinch!

For dried up baby wipes , don't throw away.... all u have to do is add pre mixed soapy dish water in old empty dish soap bottles. $store has great variety of small name brand dish soaps . Once empty add just enough soap to cover bottom of bottles then add warm water ,next pour Into baby wipes let sit over night. Brand new wipes again :)) I also stock up on small bottles of dish soap for multi purpose uses . I get the kind that's antibacterial and degreaser. U can also use for body wash . Another use for empty soap or tiny soda bottles is ammo storage but make sure bottles are washed and dried out. It makes it easier to barter if ammo in marked quantities :), U can even store glass balls or steel balls for slingshot Ty hope that helps someone

For babies a 12 pack flour sack towels or receiving blankets and things called snappies ( they are plastic ace bandage type things) and a few cloth diaper covers a set of cloth wipes around 20-30 and a bucket. Literally can diaper your baby for under $50 bucks. This can be true on a regular basis but is also great to have in case of emergency they are washable and reusable in case people can’t get to disposable diapers in an emergency.

Cloth diapers and a sealing plastic pail or trash bin with a lid. Put a gallon of water in the bottom with 1/4 C bleach. Throw in a rinsed rung out diaper each change and secure lid. When full fill with water soak. Wash. Yes, back in the day we rung out each soiled diaper in the toilet after rinsing an flushing at least two times. God bless those angel mother's.

Something for you all to consider. When we had a blackout in my area years ago it went on for several days. D cells, AA, and AAA cells were gone in no time. C cells were still to be found on the shelves. Maybe get flashlights and radios that use C cells to keep in your supply.

Knitting yarn to keep hands busy and be productive in isolation.

Liquid bandaid is a multiuse item. It can be used as a bandaid, fire starter, antiseptic and it's water proof. It's small and light enough for a bug out bag.

Am also saving lint from my dryer . Making small size ball from the lint good to start a fire (free) and if you smear a little Vaseline will start even faster. Have 20 large zip lock bags full already.
