    These small USB sticks that include a radio are great devices that can save your life if you are on the go: amzn.to/30dB5lx My advice for the cold season: 1. Always wear good shoes, a warm jacket, gloves and a hat in winter time. 2. Get a powerbank for your phone. 3. Download maps from google maps onto your phone. 4. Change your voicemail about your position and what your plan is, so that your family members can listen to the voicemail if they cannot reach you with a call. 5. Always bring water with you. 6. Always bring some sort of breaching tool with you, like e.g. a glass breaker. 7. Don't forget your earphones!!

    Not sure if you've played with RTL-SDR already, it's not related to the usb radio, just made me think of it (cause USB stick ...) as you really might like that. Listening in on air traffic, weather stations and all kind of things - including directly fetching weather maps from satellites is pretty cool to have once comms are down ;)

    LOL the traditional family is dead gamma modern women want traditional men and all the best parts of it but yet modern women do not want to be traditional in anyway LOL. Most virgins today are men not women. 10% of the men out there are having intercourse with 90% of all the women, while 90% of the men out there aren't getting any women at all and our remaining versions well into their forties LOL. So who is the promiscuous one? By demographics oh, by the Numbers it's not men LOL I just opened up a new can of worms. The very small minority like Lily it will not become naturally dependant again once government collapses but the majority of women will come running to the men once the sugar-daddy government than Corporation collapses. It is a guarantee that governments will collapse they always do. And that is mainly because of the Monopoly over economy that creates collapses as well as the monetary system which is backed by nothing and printed into infinitum until it goes to intrinsic value of 0. Just as it always has throughout history. Women like Lily will have no use for men really except maybe for reproduction somewhere down the road but the majority of women will need men from basic sustenance for everything once sugar-daddy government and corporations in collusion together collapse.

    As someone who has experienced several large-scale blackouts I would like to add that reliable communication usually lasts less than 20 minutes because as people start to search for information they will turn to their cell phones. Communications becomes saturated with high demand. If you need to communicate with someone try to do it in the first five minutes. After that, everyone will start to frantically try to communicate and connections will become increasingly unreliable (slow internet, slow text messages, bad call connections, etc.) This has been my personal experience, at least.

They're saying there's gonna be a propane shortage this season. My RV is all electric. I set it up that way years ago. Got rid of propane tanks. I use 3 heaters from Wal-Mart. Works great for me. Wal-Mart sold all their individual propane cylinders where I live. So buying something that uses that isn't a good choice. So there you go. My dog and I will survive.

    @@ryanmcbeth3160 Thanks for your thought provoking reply, Ryan. I appreciate the feedback. While I do not have access to the demographics of Lily's subscribers, your assumption about "outdoorsy people" certainly describes me. I live in a sparsely populated area. The nearest city with public transportation is hundreds of miles away. I have never used public transportation to commute to work. In fact, most of my life, I lived close enough to walk to work, and often did. That said, I still see great usefulness in this video. I disagree that this video has value only for apocalypse survival. In fact, losing electrical power may be the most plausible emergency that we face.The time to prepare for emergencies is not when they happen. There is value in thinking about our response, long before emergencies occur. I never expect to be stranded on a train, however the process used by Lily to respond to this emergency has utility to all of us. The military calls it "war-gaming". First responders refer to this process of resolving a hypothetical hazard as a tabletop exercise. Selecting a hazard our families are likely to face (weather, power outage, etc.) and determining the best response prepares us for eventual emergencies. Though the specific scenario described in this video is not one which you and I ever expect to encounter, we can use the same process to resolve emergencies we are most likely to encounter. Perhaps that's a medical emergency while hiking. Or sliding off the road on a snowy night, and realizing you'll have to spend the night in your freezing, overturned car. Watching Lily spend a night outdoors is entertaining. Identifying the most likely hazards in our lives and determining a response is a next step. I think Lily has figured that out.

    In the blackout in Texas last February, we didn't have power throughout most of the state. It was the darkest and coldest week I can remember. I went out for walks at night to see what it was like, and check on neighbors, and the darkness was eerie. I had a Maglite ML300L and even on it's lowest setting it was disorienting to turn it on outside, and I mostly left it off. In the darkness and the snow, it was blinding and felt like it shrank my awareness to a spotlight on an empty stage. When my eyes were adjusted, the night sky was bright enough to walk carefully without a light, and I could see my neighbors in the parking lot, but wasn't sure who they were until I we spoke.

Provided they have not been purposely shut down. So as you say, find out exactly where you are, memorise the map, and turn your phone off to save batteries. Only turn it on again when you are not completely certain of your position.

    I’m at my shop, power goes out, I grab my jacket and hat, check the locks and power off all electrical equipment then drive 4 blocks home. Especially in a blackout I have everything necessary to get by for 4 days, including a power brick to charge the phone. But I live alone, so the requirements change. Thanks for hooking up the microphone, your audio is greatly improved. 👌

    The power going out is one thing, but if you see cars stop in their tracks and airplanes fall from the sky it's an EMP by solar or nuclear. That's the time to really get worried. Because it's not coming back on any time soon. Good info Lilly🌹

    This has to be one of my favorite video's from you. I've been through 3 major blackouts. One we had no power for 5 days. One, I was at home, and another I couldn't get home from work so I, along with some co-workers slept in the office. I had a "get home bag" for several years; flashlight, knife, water, emergency bars, fire starter.

    Well done! Getting in the habit of commuting with a backpack can be very useful if you carry the right items. The web is a great resource for choices of what to have with you depending on the season you're in, along with thought given to the likelier scenarios depending on where you are or expect to be. Even though I subscribed to you a long time ago, I haven't seen anything from you in quite a while. Glad to see you again.

    WINTER POWER OUTAGES BUY A TENT Place the tent in the south facing room in your house and cover it with lightweight comforters. Cover the windows on the interior side with 3 Mil. plastic sheeting taped on all 4 sides. You will sleep far better in a tent than in an open room on a mattress.

    Excellent video Lilly! Having commuted in London for a number of years and been caught up in a couple of terrorist things aswell as power outages and train malfunctions I've had to walk across London more than once and also had to walk along the train tracks in 2 or 3 occasions so people may think this is far fetched but trust me from personal experience, this can happen unexpectedly at anytime (and has happened to me on a few occasions!) So it's a VERY real possibility! Especially in today's day and age of cyber threats! Thanks for making this video! Best wishes from London England 👍❤️💪😎🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🙏

    One thing to remember is that if the mobile phone network goes out your phone will use all it's power trying to find a network. To keep your battery lasting as long as it can (in the example of using the offline maps to navigate) i would suggest putting your phone in aeroplane/airplane mode. This turns off the mobile network, bluetooth and wifi and will greatly improve your battery life. Hope that makes sense

    Lily this is a relevant issue for anyone, especially now with war imminent between the USA and mainland China. To preserve my frozen food supply I have an inverter generator and 35 gallons of gasoline. I also have salt for the defrosted meat. So I can preserve my food for about 1 month before I need to salt it. Great question.
