My name is Joseph binoy Squires, I'm with well prepared, we'd like to ask the question, do you have what it takes to survive? We've talked a lot about what types of things you might need to be prepared to survive for, for periods of three days, three weeks, or three years. More important than all of those scary scenarios that we spoke of is to not be scared, but instead to be prepared. So we don't want to scare you, we want to prepare you. Today, we're going to talk about what you need to survive for three days, three weeks, or three years. Each list that we present as a basic survival list tells you what you need, what you can store up and what you might need to get in the event of the actual emergency.

It's a seven part list. It's basically a step up list, meaning that you'll need all of the items from the previous list to survive for the extended period. So you'll need these seven things to survive for three days. And for three weeks, you'll need these seven things and the previous things. And then for three years, you'll need these seven things. And the previous two lists.

So we'll start with the first list of some of the bare necessities and essentials for survival. A lot of this is based on what the government recommends, and then also what some of our experts recommend it well prepared. The three day basic emergency, we talked a lot about what these types of emergencies might be everything from an earthquake to a flood or a hurricane. These are the types of emergencies where you basically want to try to shelter in place if you can be that at your home or at your job or at your school. If the bad enough emergency that you need to kind of hunker down and batten the hatches, you're going to want to try to shelter in place where you have your bare necessities. The thing about a three day emergency is that the US government does expect and recommend that every citizen is able to sustain and provide for themselves for at least three days.

It's the bare minimum that they recommend. So this is the type of kit or the type of bug out bag that you definitely want to have with you. We do recommend that well prepared that you put together or purchase a survival kit, a bug out bag that has these items and is lightweight, easy to carry. And you can kind of take it with you everywhere you go. What we practices, since we're usually close to our vehicle, most people are, go ahead and get one of these kits, one of the bug out bags, throw it in the trunk of your car, leave it there, don't take anything out of it, you can always add to it, but make sure that it sustains at least the bare minimum of all these essentials, and just take it with you everywhere you go. We did mention before and we like to kind of stress the fact that a disaster does not wait for you to be prepared disaster doesn't necessarily occur at your home when you're sitting right in front of all of your survival gear and in your bug out bag.

It can happen when you're on the road. It can happen when you're at school. It can happen when you're at work. So the best bet is to take this with you put it in the trunk of your car and make sure that it's completely stocked as we get into the bigger kits. Those are type of things that you kind of want to keep at home because there are larger. Let's take up your whole trunk.

So for the basic three day emergency kit, most important thing is going to be food and water. Most adults are going to require a certain calorie intake. The recommended is at least 1200 calories per person per day. That's a basic 72 hour kit. And in most cases you'll want some kind of a gel fuel or propane oven. You do see some emergency ovens or camping stoves that would facilitate cooking the food if it's necessary.

A lot of dehydrated foods and survival foods do come dry, you have to add water and boil them for a certain period of time. So you want to make sure that you have enough fuel to cook that food for that period of time. Doesn't always require that you have a bug out bag. Most people have enough food and water and supplies at their home to last for at least three days. They might be scraping the bottom of some canned food by that time, but they at least do have those bare essentials. Keep in mind though, it's very good to have a bug out bag so you can throw it in your car.

You could take it with you to work, you can always have it in case you need to leave and you can't shelter in place at your house the disaster hits and it's destructive in nature. might have to grab these supplies and go and that's really hard to do with just canned food or boxes of dry pasta or something like that you might have sitting in your cabinet right now. Water, you technically need about two liters per person per day that's just drinking water. We like to kind of round that up to a gallon, because you're going to need water for cooking, you're going to need water, for sanitation, for cleaning dishes and things of that nature. And sometimes you may become over exerted, so you're going to need more than a simple gallon. It's a big, big hassle to make sure that you have one gallon per person per day.

If you got a family of 10 you know you've got 10 gallons per person per day. So you're looking at 30 gallons of water for a three day emergency. Always keep in mind that you really really need to have enough water. It may be that you need to get some kind of storage container. You may want to ensure that you have some purification tablets or a generic filter of some sort. Something that's going to give you the ability to clean some water if you can't get water at home so the water goes down and electricity is out.

A really good tip water storage it most people have almost everybody is your water heater inside of your water heater. If you stop using your water, it stores anywhere between 20 to 60 gallons of water. So if an emergency does hit, always keep in mind that if the water hasn't been used, there is a good storage of water inside your water heater shelter. Usually you're able to shelter in place. Some of the types of disasters you might face might require that you reinforce your shelter. If there's any kind of radiation and kind of does any kind of biological or chemical contaminants outside, you may need to use duct tape or plastic sheeting to cover up your windows.

Cover up your doors and make sure nothing outside gets inside. So you might want to have a good supply of duct tape, some plastic sheeting, and maybe even some tarps, a couple of cheap tarps you can use to improvise a little shelter outside to keep you dry from the rain or the snow or something like that. Power. Most cases you're not gonna have to worry too much about power. Power goes out for three days you'll probably survive it You might want to have some batteries, backup flashlight, and a crank radio. The crank radio is really important because you can you can hand crank it, it produces its own electricity.

They have several varieties available that do give you access to not only am FM but also weather radios, NOAA alerts, things of that nature. First Aid Kit basic first aid kit is recommended. For cuts and scrapes. You also have to consider if you live in an area that's more disaster prone like earthquakes and things. Tornadoes may want to have a little bit of an extended first aid kit to, you know, to facilitate wounds. If people are cut by something if something hits them or hurts them or crushes them or they get a broken bone.

You may want to build up your first aid kit to include some splints and some larger bandages and things like that. Make sure that you have your prescriptions. You don't really want to get caught because you never know when a disaster is going to strike. You don't want to get caught on the last day of your prescription when you only have one pill left and you're planning on going to the pharmacy later on and disaster strikes. And now you only have one pill and it's a life life threatening emergency if you don't have your medication. So always try to be you know, practice keeping your prescriptions up to stock, keeping your food up to stock.

In that case, even keeping gasoline in your car. You don't want to drive around with an empty tank because you never know when you're going to need it. Always keep a full tank. So keep as much prescription medication as you can on stock, try to save up some if possible. And keep that refrigerated if necessary. And maybe have some ice ice packs inside of your freezer so that if the power does go out, you can at least keep it cool for a couple day deer to protection, basic protection and a minor emergency would be some really tough gloves, you may have to handle some things or move some things out of the way that could cut you or hurt you otherwise, and you probably want to get a dust mask, a dust mask in case of any kind of building collapse or a severe windstorm or hurricane or tornado or something like that nature could put a lot of contaminants in the air.

So you might want to have a basic mask so you can ensure that you can breathe safely. A couple tools to keep a gas shut off. a shovel and a pry bar. Gas shutoff is a special wrench that's used to shut off gas mains, near most houses. Something that very frequently occurs if there's a tornado or a hurricane, or earthquake is that the building can shift the walls can shift the ground can shift. And those pipes are a fixed inside of the walls and the ground in the foundation.

And they very often break then you have a gas leak and that can lead into a fire. Electricity lines may break next to a gas line. Now you have sparks and gas. Now you got a fire, you've got another emergency in the midst of an emergency. So to avoid that you want to have the correct tools to make sure that you can shut off the gas you can shut off the water shovel in case you need to dig out of something and then also a pry bar in case something does collapse. You have the ability to try to pry if possible something off of yourself or off to somebody else to save someone's life is a good example.

Have a 72 hour food storage kit. We have these well prepared. It's not just a 72 hour kit this one actually comes with food storage reasons good idea to have a food storage kit is because a lot of times the food inside of your cabinet is unreliable, it's heavy. You need a special can opener. I don't even need to mention once all my power went out and I didn't have a hand can opener all I had is my electric can opener. So I was sitting there like how am I gonna open these cans.

So I'm sitting there with a big kitchen knife trying to open the cans and I was cutting myself. What I really needed was some dehydrated food that I could easily use just add water, cook it on your stove just for a few minutes and you have a very nutrient packed, packed very actually good tasting meal that you can carry around in your backpack. So it's a good idea to have some of the essentials inside your backpack. This emergency kit shows you you have a first aid kit you have some gloves, you have a filter, you've got a little cooking stove, you got several packets of food, water bottle or water balls actually have a water filter built in it so you can actually put any water that you want inside of it and drink it straight out of the bottle and a hand crank radio, that's going to give you not only a radio LED flashlight so you can, you can communicate and you can see in the dark.

Get a kit like this. Throw other stuff in there, you may have some stuff that's specific to you that you like that you prefer that you might need, like keep it in a backpack and keep it handy. This is the ultimate thing to have for any emergency for three days. This is a must have, you've got to have at least this no matter who you are. So next we'll talk about three weeks, three weeks is more of an extended disaster. This could be anything from severe floods, to economic collapse, to writing to a war, anything that would put you out of the loop and put you on your own and need services for an extended period of up to three weeks.

After three weeks. You might want to consider either digging in even more or removing yourself from that situation sheltering somewhere else. So we'd like to say that three weeks is a shelter. Shelter in rural area, you can either shelter in your home or you can shelter in a rural area to get away from the mass population. When there's an emergency, you really don't want to be around all these other people that are in the midst of emergency, they're desperate, they don't have any of the resources you have, it might be best for you to bug out and get out of town go out into the rural area and wait for things to blow over. This is a list of seven other things in the same categories that you would need to survive for at least three weeks.

This is an addition to the first list. So once you get your first 72 hour kit, if you want to get more prepared, you can easily take another step up and try to get these items and add them in another bag or another area to your 72 hour kit to increase your ability to survive now for three weeks. So for food, you may want food storage buckets, very popular food storage solution that we have nowadays is called grab and go buckets. It's a five gallon or it's a three and a half gallon mylar bucket that you can grab and just take it with you it's completely sealed. Most of them have up to a 25 year storage life. So if it's stored properly in a cool, dry place, it's good for 25 years.

They're nutrient dense, they're actually very tasty. And like I said, you can grab them and go, you can buy them one at a time and kind of build up your food storage so that you have enough food for you and your family. If you have more than one person for at least three weeks, you may want to take some supplemental vitamins to make sure that you're getting the proper nutrients. This will work out even if you don't get the food storage buckets if you're trying to rely on maybe dry beans and dry rice or whatever you got in your house. Sometimes you're not always able to be perfectly are well prepared. Vitamins is something that is very important to keep an excess of so you can get those bare minimum nutrients and you don't kind of break down during an emergency.

Another good thing to have the solar oven after about three weeks or of course after three days and going into three weeks, you're probably going to run out of some of your liquid fuel if you've got, you know, gel fuel or propane fuel tanks for your little cooking stove. So a good thing to have is a solar oven, you can kind of make your own, not nearly as efficient as a real solar oven. But there's a lot about that out there. Today, we offer a really great solar oven that reaches over 350 degrees. It's good for baking, cooking. You can leave it sitting in the sun even in the middle of winter and cook your food, it works off direct redirecting the rays of light into the chamber and it just heats up to over 350 degrees.

So a solar oven is free energy basically, you can use it now forever. You don't even need to use it for an emergency. You can buy one right now, take it outside camping with you take it when you go to your picnic. You can put it outside in your backyard and cook something without using any gas or any electricity. It's really great thing to have for water. In addition to the water that you'll need.

We're now looking at three weeks so that one gallon a day or if you got three people in your family that three gallons a day quickly multiplies and adds 60 gallons if you're looking at three weeks, so just really think about what it takes. To store 60 gallons of water, that's a big heavy chunk of water. So you may want to invest in something like 55 gallon drum and a basic water filter in case you can find a water source that isn't safe, you can make it safe to drink. So you've already got your purification tablets in your first kit. Now you get a water filter. And now you're able to maybe get a 55 gallon drum or several five gallon containers so that the collapsible ones you can throw in your closet and fill them up if need be.

For shelter. Now we're looking at more living maybe outside in the woods on an extended camping trip, you may want to have a tent handy sleeping bags. A lot of people already have these things. So just make sure you know where they are. Make sure that they're easily accessible so that you can get them in the event of emergency. You're gonna have to go dig through the garage and take three hours to find this stuff.

Keep it handy, make sure it's functional, make sure you know how to use it. Practice does make perfect when it comes to preparedness. If you don't know what to do in the event of emergency everybody's gonna be running around with like chickens with their head cut off power power You may want to invest in some solar panels solar chargers, gas generator and maybe in some firestarters some fire sorry material at this point. A lot of people do have a lighter or some matches but after three weeks that stuff starts to run out. You only get so many strikes in your lighter, they want to have a flint fire starter. A very good thing to keep is a magnifying glass.

We keep pocket size credit card size magnifying glasses in our wallets. That case is that way if we ever need to, we can just pull it out and use the sun gas generator may come in handy although you can eventually run out of gas. Solar Charger is probably a most reliable of all these things. The promise all charges you do need batteries. Solar Charger will work for some of your household electronics and not necessarily appliances so some of your smaller handheld devices you can probably use the solar charger to charge those batteries. You need an array of solar panels in order to charge an array of batteries to operate more of the electronics.

Inside your house, so that's a little bit larger investment to make. First Aid, you're going to want to extend a supplies of your prescription medications. So if you really want to start prepping and get ready for what many people have faced a disaster that takes more than three weeks for help to arrive, try to build up a extended supply of your prescriptions. Most doctors if you talk to them honestly and earnestly and tell them why you want to have an extended supply of your prescriptions, they'll go ahead and write you a prescription they have no problem doing that and giving you extra medication so that you can survive in the event of a disaster protection. In these cases, some of these three week three week emergencies do include things like building collapses, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, massive storms and dust clouds, nuclear biological chemical attacks, you may want to have more than just a dust filter.

Gas masks can come in handy if you have to shelter in place and cover your windows with plastic and you know, tape everything off. I mean, you can't go outside because Air is not fit to breathe. But what if you have to go outside? You know you're in your house, you got enough plastic sheeting and you tape everything up. But you realize you don't have any food or you don't have any water. Or the other place you can get water is 50 feet away by the shed or something like that.

And you have to go outside. How can you safely do that you can have a gas mask. A gas mask enables you to go outside and breathe free. It filters out all nuclear, all biological or chemical agents. And it's the safest way that you can actually go outside and not worry about immediate or residual health effects from breathing whatever is outside. You may also want iodine tablets potassium iodine.

In the event of a nuclear disaster, catastrophe or attack, you may need to protect yourself against the effects of radiation. So radiation can occur. If you're in the immediate blast area, outside that blast area as it drifts or what's known as nuclear fallout. Big Huge mushroom cloud will dump all of that nuclear radioactive material wherever the wind blows it. So You might be 200 300 500 miles away from wherever there's a nuclear event. And you can become contaminated.

Your house, your ground, the plants, everything outside can become contaminated by this nuclear fallout. So how do you protect against that? Number one, like I said, you have a gas mask, you can go outside now safely, but also, you might get contact from the radioactive material, through your skin, through your clothing, through what you touch through what you eat, or just through being outside in the environment. So how do you protect against that use iodine tablets, which are basically going to build up inside of your thyroid and protect you from absorbing that radiation that would otherwise sometimes prove deadly. So it's a good thing to have. It's really cheap.

You can get them for under $10 for a small supply of potassium iodine tablets. certain tools that have you may want to have X a saw some wire and a hose. Why do we say an x? By this time if you're living in a northern climate, it may become cold this this disaster They strike in the middle of winter, your electricity is off, your gas is off, you don't have any heat, you may need to go outside and chop down the fence or a tree or anything to burn and stay warm and survive a saw but also come in handy as well. It's sometimes a lot easier than an axe, you need to take down a large tree to make it into smaller pieces. Or if you need to build things that you may need to improvise a new environment.

Sometimes you know you're 2300 square foot house is great right now when everything's running good and electricity is there, but try hitting those Hall by high vaulted ceilings with a little wood stove. in the dead of winter with no electricity might be more efficient to live in a little shed. You may want wire in case you need to rewire your house a lot of these times when people are planning to prep for at least three weeks, you're going to invest in things like solar chargers, and batteries. Solar chargers and batteries are great, but they don't really work too well with the AC system inside of your house. So what if you need to run DC lighting or DC power to different areas of your house you may want to have a good length of wire so you can run DC And have efficient lighting inside of your house to run off your solar system.

And some hoses always good in case you need to get water transport water, siphon gas, things of that nature, it's a good thing to have inside of your your bug out bag bag or your kit. There's some things that a lot of people might not have. If you live in apartment or you live in a condo, you might have a yard with a garden and a hose and some grass. You never think of it and you don't have it inside your supplies. It's a very good thing to keep at hand, you might need it for later. This is a good example of someone supplies for a three week survival kit.

This would be an addition once again to your three day survival kit. Over on the right you can see we've got our guardian water bottle that has a filter built in. We've got a gas mask, there's some of the grab and go buckets. That's about a three week supply for a couple people right there. You've got the IO stat which is a potassium iodine tablets to protect you from radiation and there's a good solar oven that we use for one of the Better solar ovens for the amount of space that it provides and all the accessories that you're able to just cook and go. In an instance in a moment's notice.

Very portable, you could carry kind of like a suitcase. So three years, this is, in the worst case scenario, territory is a total chaos and collapse. This is where you may want to consider sheltering in the wilderness. The reason we say shelter in the wilderness is because you know, three days you can shelter in your house help is going to arrive three weeks and go in a rural area, wait for things to blow over and go back home. But for a three year disaster, where you're basically hitting the reset button, it may not be feasible to try to survive in the city where you live right now, the city is there as it is right now, because it's dependent on infrastructure and distribution of goods, there's roads and there's trucks and there's railways that bring stuff in, but there's nothing really there. You may want to go to the wilderness where there are animals to hunt where there is water to drink, where there's plants to actually harvest and use stuff that you won't find in most inner cities.

So you definitely want to consider you consider yourself, consider your location, it's a good idea to have a map. You know, when your electronics go down, you can't really get on Google Maps and just navigate to where you want to go. Let me take me to the wilderness, it's not gonna work. You need to have a plan ahead of time, you'd have a map of your surroundings. So you know, escape routes, you know, where the real roads are, where the waterways are, in case the roads get gridlocked. And you need to get out of town very quickly.

Find a place a wilderness, it's very good to practice. Once again, practice makes perfect and prepping. If you find a place of wilderness, go out there visited often learn the plants in the area, learn what's edible, what's not what animals are there, what are their trails, how can you survive in the wilderness, you're going to need a sustainable source of food. So going in the wilderness isn't always enough. You can go out in the wilderness and you know those animals are elusive. They're not going to just stand there and let you hunt them.

You know, the plants are barbed wire poisoner, unidentifiable. You don't know what's edible and what's not you could quickly become sick or not. nourished, you may want to know ahead of time what kind of plants are edible. We love this book. It's called Wild edible plants. It gives you an illustrated guide of every edible plant in North America, you can't go wrong by having that book with you.

Another alternative, a great alternative is organic heirloom seeds. It's probably the best investment I've ever made in prepping was organic heirloom seeds. I've got a couple of really big packages of seeds that I know if you know disaster strikes or there's ever an emergency, I can go outside and I can plant the seeds, I can harvest from them and those seeds are able to be planted again, as a problem with most GMO seeds that are available now is it it's like so you control. You buy a seed that's inherently sterile, you grow the plant, the seeds, if it produces any are sterile and they don't reproduce. So get yourself some good organic heirloom seeds so that you know you can have a sustainable food supply from now until forever as long as you can grow and harvest and get enough water and and have enough soil in rich soil to grow those plants, you're gonna want some hunting and fishing supplies.

Fishing is probably one of the most sustainable food sources if you're an area with fish, but you can also get hunting supplies. Those may include everything from guns to bows and arrows and crossbows and things of that nature. Water, you'll definitely want to find a sustainable source. This goes back to why we shelter in the wilderness and we bug out, you need to get near water source. Historically, civilizations civilizations have only thrived near water source and they pretty much always do. So you find a big river you find a pond or a stream or some kind of natural spring, and you set up shop right near there.

In addition to that, you're definitely going to want the ability to filter that water. Without modern technology and the different chemicals that we use and consume. Unfortunately, water is inherently unsafe to drink. You know, water has killed a lot of people throughout history through different infections and bacteria that introduces into your body. So you want the ability to not only find This nice water source but to be able to rely on that water source and drink it safely, we've got a great chance and water filtration system is non electric, so you don't have to plug it in anywhere. And it filters a lot of water.

It's not one of these cheap little life straws that you throw in your backpack for your three week kit. This can filter water for an extended period of time and keep you safe and healthy and out of harm's way. Not only you but your family very important. storage options are also important. Even if you find a good water source, it isn't a guarantee that it's going to stay there that it's going to stay safe or that you're going to be able to stay by it. So you find a good water source.

You got to start storing it up. You see it in small communities a huge water Well, that makes sure that if you know there's a major drought that year, or the water becomes tainted or polluted that people still have a huge water tower in their little town that gives them enough water to survive until they find some other means of getting water. Power. This is the point after three years where you really want some good reliable, rechargeable batteries. there's pretty much nothing else that's going to give you the type of peace of mind and security and an extended, extended collapse or extended chaos. Extended emergency, as good, reliable rechargeable batteries.

Want something that's deep discharge like a marine battery, we have some really cool batteries that are even better than marine batteries. But at the very least, you want something as deep discharge is able to be discharged to a very, very low level and then be recharged fully. Not all batteries are like that your typical car battery can't do that. So you want good rechargeable batteries, you want to invest or invent wind or water turbines the ability to harvest clean energy from nature. And or solar energy like we talked about before you can get solar panels if possible. I guess the hardest upkeep on all this is going to be once again your battery so you want the best battery possible.

You get a nice solar system and your batteries drain out or they they die they no longer they cease to function and you're not able to repair them or maintain them. Once again, it goes Back to training, you need the best supplies as possible. So don't go to Walmart and buy the 6999 battery that is not going to last that long and it's cheap and you know it came from from China. And it's, you know, you can throw it real quick and really using it to your supplies. This isn't stuff that you really need to last when it really matters. So go out and get the best that you possibly can.

For first aid, you want some major antibiotics, this is another good reason that you should talk to your doctor, go to your family doctor, ask for prescription every now and then whatever the expiration date is on the prescription, you want to renew it by that time. So talk to your doctor say, Look, I'm preparing for an emergency preparing for disaster. I'd like to protect myself and protect my family. What if there were an earthquake and nobody was around for three weeks and during that earthquake, or during that flood? If there was a flood, you know, I got cut and I had to walk outside and the flooded waters and their sewage and it became septic and I've got an infection where final cut my leg off I'm gonna die but none of that would have to happen if I just said Anyway, um But the hospital is three miles away and it's flooded and nobody's there because the doctor went home to protect his family.

So, talk to your doctor, get him to write your prescription for major antibiotics, major pain pills, major pain medications, so you're able to take care of yourself in your circumstances, they should have no problem doing that for you. Make sure that you stock up on bandages as well. Managers can come in handy, especially because they're sterile, you want to get the sterile bandages, it's not always best just to throw a shirt or whatever you got on any kind of wound in an emergency. It's good for maybe stemming the the blood or the bleeding at that time, but it very easily introduces some kind of an infection. So keep sterile bandages on hand for protection. This is when you might want to look into whatever kind of firearms you can get for your family and potentially some body armor.

And in an extended emergency, you're not going to be the only one who's going through a living hell, you're not going to be the only one who's desperate who's hungry, who has no one to turn to and needs help or need supplies. So a lot of the big threat and most of these emergencies of civil unrest is, is a world that is without the rule of law, and people are running around like bandits or marauders, you want to be able to protect yourself. So just look at the police, for instance, how do they protect themselves against the lawless, they protect themselves, with body armor, with firearms with those different types of weapons. So you want to embrace that type of mentality. Get whatever firearms that you can, that are going to be good for protecting your family. Make sure that you're well trained, make sure they're controlled and safely stored.

Make sure that you have extra ammunition and magazines and maybe potentially some body armor that would give you the upper hand if you heaven forbid, ever have to come up against an armed aggressor, and you are shot or fired on, you can protect some of your vital organs. You can probably survive, you know, gunshot to different extremities, or at least long enough to protect yourself and put down the threat. But without body armor, you can take a hit to a vital area and die instantly in some cases. Probably some of the best firearms that you can get In most cases, something very simple 22 rifle ammunition is very light, it's very effective. It's very easy to shoot doesn't have a lot of kick. It's very cheap.

And you can use it for hunting a shotgun. Also, you don't need a lot of skills to fire a shotgun. It's great for hunting birds if you need to. Very easy to use very reliable. You don't want to get too much into you know, crazy assault rifles and handguns. They're very complicated.

They're for assault. They're not for defense or for hunting. So keep it simple, keep it cheap, lightweight, cheap ammunition very easy to use, in case you need to hunt or protect your family. As far as tools go, this is when you really want to look into some of the extended homesteading tools, things that you don't really see anymore. It's hard to come by I went to a antique roadshow a couple weeks ago, and I got a little hand crank drill. never really seen one before but I saw it kind of recognize what it was.

And it's just a drill with a big drill bit on it. You hold the end and you crank like this and you can drill right into wood. I was like wow, it's great. You know what My lithium ion battery doesn't work on my drill and I need to drill a hole. If I'm trying to build a cabin or a house for myself, What am I going to do? How could I possibly drill a good hole in?

Well, maybe you don't need to drill a hole, but you know how effective it is to have a nice hole drilled into something how sturdy and strong you can make a building. So yeah, you definitely want to invest in any kind of tools that you can shovels, rakes, picks, axes, you know, some people that even have access to horses get some of those horse plows, I don't know, you know how many people have actually went out and tried to garden but it's pretty hard work to get out there and dig in the ground and turn it over and, and you know, so all the plants that you've sown and reaped. So definitely want to look into some of those homesteading supplies, and store whatever you can or keep in mind where you can get those things, or at least how to create them or use them in case you need to.

So this is an example of some of the three year storage survival kit products that we recommend. Over here. You can see we got big huge line of buckets on the lower left hand side, that is about a year's supply worth of dehydrated food is a really cool thing to keep in case you need it, you can actually extend that much further this could this could help you survive three years very easily. If you're in a circumstance where, you know disaster does strike, and no help is coming, this right here, what supplement whatever diet you're able to obtain from around you. So if you're able to do some hunting, you're able to do some gathering, you're able to grow some food, this will help you kind of supplement that. And you can stretch this out for three years, 10 years, who knows how long, maybe even the full 25 years of the shelf life if you have up to a year's worth, but at the very least, that gives you a year of not worrying.

It's the ultimate life insurance. Because not only do you get it and you can use it if you need it, but it's there. It's in your hand has substance, you can hold it and you can move it around. You can use it you can cook it, you can eat it. It's actually pretty good. I've tried several varieties and you know sometimes on a lazy camping trip, I'll just you know, by selling my food buckets and cook that instead of bringing something along that I have to kind of prepare as far as batteries go, got a good example of one of the greatest batteries you can use right here for a solar system, deep discharge discharge, longest lasting lowest maintenance, probably the best of the best that you can possibly get.

Over on the right is our chancing water filter. This is the water filter that's going to give you the ability to filter massive amounts of water of contaminants, bacteria, heavy metals, the whole nine yards. So you know, a lot of times you go up in the middle of the woods, you find a good water source in the wilderness and you think it's good, you know, there's no dead animals in it. It's not frothy, there's no contamination. There might not even be any bacteria. But this is a natural spring that comes from up in the mountain.

And there's tons of toxic heavy metals in it. There could be lead, there could be iron, there could be any variety of metals and chemicals that you need filtered out. So this is non electric. It'll help you and acts as a storage tank to where you can, you know, store a certain amount of filtered water. And use it for later. It's a great alternative.

Probably the best of the best up top is our seed storage. In fact, most governments around the world and several governments work in conjunction with each other to have seed vaults. And these are called Doomsday vaults in which they keep seeds for all the different plants and varieties around the world in case disaster, a calamity hits any given area, they can go and reseed that area and grow it back. So it'd be it's a good idea to have seed storage if you have it, or if you can, we've got tons of different varieties. Everything from fruits to vegetables to herbs, medicinal plants, the whole nine yards and these once again, are heirloom, they are organic, they're non GMO, I mean, you can plant the seeds, you can harvest the plant and re plant the seeds from there. So this is the ultimate sustainable life cycle prep that you can get.

Alright, right. Thank you for watching what you need to survive. We do like to ask Once again, do you have what it takes to survive? We urge that everyone be prepared because you never know when disaster construction
