72-Hour Kit Bag Dump After 10 YEARS!
Dumping out your 72-hour kit in front of people after a few(?) years is kind of like letting a stranger go through your underwear drawer. But it's high time I looked at what we have in our kits and then take the opportunity to update these kits so they're actually useful.
There's nothing worse than an emergency kit full of unusable stuff and expired food. Let's all make sure that never happens to us.

Does the Countertop RO Filter Deliver? Full Test! (Waterdrop Filter K19)
Clean water is one of the top 3 most important resources we need for daily life and especially in any emergency. I've tested a few gravity filters including the Berkey with black filters, the Alexapure, and the Purewell gravity water filters. But now I'm going to put this similarly-priced countertop Reverse Osmosis (RO) water filter through the same tests to see how it performs.
Waterdrop sent me this filter for the purpose of testing. I told them I would give an honest review and call it like I see it and they agreed. So here's that review!
Waterdrop is running a sale on their filters right now for Christmas and asked me to include the following.

I Ate Nothing But Emergency Ration Bars for a Week…
What happens when you eat nothing but emergency ration bars for a whole week? Can you actually live on emergency rations?
I decided to try! For a whole week I ate only emergency ration bars. But I didn’t just do that, I tried out several of the most popular ones you can buy.
Check out what happens when emergency rations is all you eat.
Here are all the ration bars I tested:

Nasty Hot Tub Water vs Berkey (and Alexapure and Purewell)
Today we're seeing if the Berkey, Alexapure, and Purewell gravity water filters have what it takes to filter contaminated water. What contaminants are we testing for today? We're going to see if these filters can remove Kool-Aid, Chlorine (and other Hot Tub contaminants), and Salt from water.
Here are links to the 3 water filters I tested in this video.

Smoking On a Pellet Grill in a Power Outage
I decided it was high time to test out both my Pit Boss Austin XL Pellet Grill and my Jackery Explorer 1000 solar generator in a real emergency-type situation. The test was to see if a pellet grill is a feasible alternative cooking option if there's no power. I wanted to know just how much electricity a pellet grill needs and if my Jackery could handle it, even for a long smoke.
Did I ruin Thanksgiving for my family? Or did a slay it?
Shoutout to Malcolm Reed. Thanks for the amazing guidance on smoking my turkey (and so many other things)! Here's the recipe I was following - https://howtobbqright.com/2021/11/04/butter-herb-smoked-turkey/

Getting Millennials and Gen Z to Take Preparedness Seriously
What's it going to take to get young people to take preparedness and self-reliance seriously? Although apparently, something like 40% of American GenZers spent money this year on prepping supplies out of fear that the 2024 US presidential election could spark a Civil War.
What do you think we can do to help our younger loved ones take preparedness seriously?
Here's where I got that 40% statistic: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12825301/Young-Americans-fearing-2024-election-spark-civil-war-Gen-Z-doomsday-preparations.html

Preparing a Tent for Your Emergency Kit (or just to use...)
Don't make the mistake of buying gear (like a tent) for your emergency kit, without learning how to use it properly, and without preparing it completely for use. When an emergency comes, you don't want to suddenly realize your gear isn't ready!
Here's the tent from this video: https://amzn.to/44PYAww

Cold Testing Emergency Blankets and Bivvies
If you've never actually used one of those foil (mylar) emergency blankets, you might be wondering how well they actually work. I certainly did! That's why I decided to test one out. But of course that wasn't enough, so I tested not one but two mylar bivvy sacs too just to see how they compare to a standard emergency blanket.
Here are the Emergency Bivvies from this video:

Pond Water vs Water Filters (Berkey | Alexapure | Purewell)
How well do these gravity water filters actually filter water? Well, I put them to the test by running water from our duck pond, complete with mosquito larvae, through them to see if they could filter out the harmful bacteria.
Don't miss my video testing these same filters with some other fun contaminants: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cMfQMPxR1n0
