Good preps. Good advice. Survival is a 24/7 job. You’re going to have to be armed all of the time. You’re going to need an early warning system. Sensors/dogs/armed guards. Who’s guarding while you sleep? At least two people on site at all times. Never travel alone. Have a plan. Then have another plan. Do you have a safe house you can stay at, away from your primary site? Go over the plan with all your people. I think we’re going to get a nasty surprise, real soon. Like any day now. Be alert.

Citizen Joe, good advice, but that sounds daunting, to be sure it can be! Remember, a thousand mile trip starts with a single step! To answer your rhetorical question, yes, but I have done this over a fifty year period.

For those of you just starting, it may not get really bad and the minor preps you are making now, might carry you through. The war I was prepping for in the seventies, never occured! Every bit of small preps you make now will help you sleep better.

Some advice from an old fart:
Remember the rule of three, three seconds witnout a weapon, three minutes without air, three days without water and three weeks with out food!
So, secure weapons first, then clean air, clean water, lots of it and finally food.
Specifically, at least:
A bolt action hunting rifle or pump shot gun, with lots of ammo.
Air filtration, if necessary.
A reliable source of water, with purification, bleach or filtered.
Cheap food: Sams still has oates, beans, rice, flower, spam and good oils in bulk, cheap. Your farmers coop has even cheaper seed grains that can be eaten or planted.
Finally have a plan if your area isn’t safe.

One option for those in a city that really can’t leave, is to get a second mortage and take the cash and buy some vacation land in a safeplace.
For those of you whos wife or husband is not on board, don’t argue with them, just do it any way! Remember prepping is just another form of insurance.
Finally keep quiet about your preps.

I know it’s not for everyone. I throw suggestions out there for people who may have never considered such things. I myself don’t have the resources for a lot of my own suggestions. What I do have is experience and skills. I have street sense. Street sense is vital for survival in the cities and suburbs. I’m not in the country. I’m most likely not going to hold up in one place, unless my area gets nuked and I can’t maneuver. My plan is to make things real interesting for the bad guys during shtf. Area deniability. They can’t loot if they’re bleeding. I’ll be out hunting. And I won’t be sticking around to do the paper work.

you have given us all good suggestions and a good plan if you are younger. I am too old to be running around, any where! You could be a great help to older preppers, who are out in the country who have the infrastructure, and supplies but limited energy. Look for some one in your area to work with, help each other out.

For others in or near the city, especially young couples, even with children, find some old country preppers, who need help and can help you, some where you can bug out to, if needed.
Us patriots need to work together!

He’s emphasizing fruit trees. But the drawback with fruit trees is, unless you already have mature trees. most take anywhere form 3 to 7 years to start generating fruit. Plant fruit trees yes, but in the meantime prepare yourself with other avenues of supporting yourself.

The Chinese have just made a delivery of missiles to Serbia. Perhaps as many as 6 aircraft loads. For the Serbs? Or the Russians? This isn’t going to get better. Look on your world map for a place called Kaliningrad. It is Russian territory located just south of Lithuania and north of Poland. It’s on the Baltic Sea. Basically, it’s loaded with military hardware. And NATO wants to start operations in the Pacific, near China. Turn the baseball game off and get ready. There will be no advance warning from your government.

Citizen Joe, more good advice.
I have never seen it so close to nuclear war, fasten your seatbelts!
Our leaders apparently want war or are really stupid. Putin has said he will hold those responsible for this war, the US. I don’t think Putin will ratchet things up, playing their game. I think a line will be crossed and he will strike first and we will be toast. I also think it will be a counter force strike and possibly and/ or an EMP, I just hope he gets Washington. I think his first strike will be effective enough, that counter value targets like cities won’t be necessary, but without power it will be just as bad. My idiot kids are all in major cities.

I assume you are in a safe area, good luck! I am in NW Arkansas, with communication good to a couple of hundred miles. I will reconnect it all afterward and keep my ears on. Stay safe.

For those not familiar with nucular weapon use. Counter force targets are usually ground burst, creating lots of fall out, move! Counter value targets (cities) are usually air burst, creating lots of damage, but little fallout, have a shelter!

This looks good. I really enjoy your videos. No matter what we have done to prepare we can always find more that we need to do. It is never too late. Everything that is happening now may be a good wakeup call to do a little more. However, I have a feeling we may be facing realities that we have never had to face before in the U.S. The plan is to collapse the U.S. and bring in the New World Order = one world government, elites and serfs, nowhere to run. They will do whatever it takes. So prepare. It may be this year, it may be 3 years from now, but it is coming. The NWO gang has a plan they are working. Never doubt that.

Remember to check which fruit and nut trees are self fertile and which are not, and which are good pollination partners for the ones you want to plant, can save a lot of hassle down the road

planted my fruit trees 7 years ago, so am ahead of the curve there.
expanded my garden a little this year. i now have more square footage in the garden than i do in my house, and am wondering if i can handle more, since i am now retired and can spend more time to growing stuff.
