4 things to look for when buying a Solar Generator ☀️
#shtf #prepping #solargenerator
I belong to a lot of prepping and preparedness groups out there, and one of the conversations I continue to witness in the prepping community was preppers saying they realize they need a solar generator, but they don't know where to begin and don't know what features are important when they go to buy one.
I've done a lot of research on solar generators when I was making my purchasing decision, so hopefully this will help you. The main features you want to look for in your solar generator are:
1. LifePO4 Batteries
2. A Pure Sine Wave Inverter
3. DC Regulated Outlets
4. Passive Charging on all Outlets
Making sure your Solar Generator has these features will make sure you are set-up for success when it comes to keeping your emergency solar power on longer.

Prepping for the next Terrorist Attack & Financial Collapse
Given what is currently going on in the world in #Israel and the War in #Ukraine, and the hundreds of cases of people on the Terrorist Watchlist being stopped at our Southern border, the threat of terrorist attacks happening in the U.S. is a real concern.
In addition, the threat of our looming financial crisis with rising inflation, the $33 Trillion National Debt, and the printing of even more money to support possible war internationally... it all leads to one thing.
You NEED to be #prepping for a #shtf scenario. We would be facing food shortages, extended blackouts if our power grid was attacked, and general civil unrest and rioting that we would need to be able to defend ourselves against.
I hope you will find the prepping suggestions in this video helpful as we prepare for the worst case scenario in the event of a terrorist attack and a catastrophic financial collapse.

Bugging out is NOT like camping 🏕️👀
So you think you're bugging out to the woods when SHTF, huh?
Ever since I started this channel, I never realized how many people there are out there who think they are going to just #bugout to the woods like this emergency situation is as easy as a camping trip.
But for 99% of us, if you are not a master bushcrafter or outdoorsman, doing this will most likely end up with you being DEAD. Holding down where you are is most always going to be the best option.
If you think you can bugout to the woods for 6 months or longer, tell me in the comments.

POV. A Prepper renames his #bugoutbag the "Inch" Bag
#bugoutbag #inchbag #shtf
The reality is, once #shtf and you have no other resort but to use a bugout bag, you are really not meant to go more than 72 hours with it before you need to get to a secondary location or find infrastructure. And if you have a family with kids, a #bugoutbag will just not be sufficient to survive a real emergency.
In my opinion, some preppers and bushcrafters out there have realized the shortcoming of the bugout bag, and instead of accepting this, they've come up with a suped up version of it and renamed it the INCH Bag (I'm never coming Home Bag).
But the fact is... its just another bag! And you still need real emergency equipment to survive a #shtf situation. #prepping

In honor of #EmergencyPreparednessMonth, I've reviewed the @redcross Survival Kit Supply Checklist, and found 14 essential items that are missing.
When it comes to prepping and emergency preparedness, we should consider that we will be experiencing an extended grid down situation without power and easy access to food, water, and medical supplies.
In this video, I review the American Red Cross Emergency Kit and provide recommendations to modify the list and supplement the missing essentials to be sure you can survive an extended grid down situation with your family.
For reference, here is the original American Red Cross Survival list: https://www.redcross.org/get-help/how-to-prepare-for-emergencies/survival-kit-supplies.html

Powering up for the apocalypse: Playing Fallout 4 #offgrid ☢️☀️ | #shtf #solarpower
#shtf #solarpower #emergencypreparedness
I know what we are all really concerned about here... will we still be able to play Fallout 4 when SHTF and the grid is down? The answer is yes!
I consider a solar power generator and solar panels a necessity when #prepping for an emergency #griddown situation. In this video we are using our #Oupes 2400w portable power station and solar panels to power my gaming computer... but in a real life emergency, this system can easily power a fridge or freezer, a microwave, a base station radio, a C-Pap machine (or other life-saving medical equipment). Basically any household appliance that would need to stay running if you did not have power for a prolonged period of time.

Your gun & ammo stockpile is USELESS unless you do this... ☢️
#shtf #guns #prepping
Have you ever met someone who thinks they are prepared for an emergency because they have stockpiled lots of guns and ammo?
The truth is, having a SHTF rifle is a great consideration to make, but before you ever need that rifle, you’re going to need all of your other preparations sorted out first like food, water, medicine, and energy. These preps must come first, or you will be useless to resist or defend ANYTHING.

Here's why bugging out won't work with kids 🎒🥾☢️ | #prepper #shtf #emergencypreparedness
If you are concerned with #emergencypreparedness and #prepping, steer clear of YouTuber's out there promoting #buggingout and #bugout bags, ESPECIALLY if you have young kids.
Just watch this video of me taking my two kids on just a 2 mile hike. Still think bugging out with them is going to happen?
If you have a family and small children, a bugout bag just isn't going to work for you in a real emergency... you will need real emergency equipment for that, and you should plan to #bugin at home for your best chance of survival when #shtf.

Why you should have an Emergency Action Plan with the current Financial and Political Climate
During the events of 2020, businesses closed due to Covid regulations, grocery stores went empty, and riots ramped up in the United States. Our national debt started getting more and more out of control with excessive spending and money printing. Since that time, our government has not gotten inflation and our economy under control, and it is leading us to severe supply chain issues, threat of war, and financial crisis.
Over the last two decades since 9-11, each crisis our country has faced is getting more exponential and impacting more and more people. The next crisis in our country could be a financial one that will no doubt cause looting and destruction within cities when people can no longer afford their basic needs. Or a cybersecurity threat from a domestic or foreign entity could shut down our power grid and other critical infrastructure, just as we saw with Colonial Pipeline attack a few years ago. Combine all of this with the elections coming up, which nobody knows how that will go.
The problems we’re currently facing are not going away, and our country is not in a good place right now.
Seeing all of this, I took it upon myself to research and better prepare to have everything I needed to survive an extended power-down situation, civil unrest, and supply shortages. The last thing I want is to be looking around at my kids and family with nothing to eat or drink, no power, or anyway to defend ourselves.
I do think most people want to have a plan for emergency situations like this, but I don’t think they fully realize what is really needed to truly be prepared and some may not have the time to dedicate to figuring it out. Just buying a basic emergency kit and some MREs will still leave you wildly unprepared in a real emergency. And if you start researching “prepping” you can easily find yourself going down hours of internet rabbit holes on identifying plants you can eat in the wilderness, how to make shelter out of sticks, and how to filter your own pee so it is drinkable.
My content that I will be sharing with you IS NOT THAT. No rabbit holes, but all the comprehensive information you need up front. Over years of learning, I have put together a full list of practical items and recommended skills for the average modern family, that I believe are necessary to be self-reliant during a nationwide crisis. From how to have food, water, good hygiene, medicine, reliable communications, power supply, down to defenses and weaponry – I have you covered.
This mission is vital to me, and I thought my knowledge should be shared. The next crisis is coming, and I want to help you be prepared for it.
