“You are going to die”. Damn fear mongerer.
Me thinks the lady protests too much.
Vera your not going to be the censor here.
David let your viewpoint be viewed, he didn’t give you authority here.
I have no power to censor anyone, Michael. Why does it bother I voice my opinion?
Your nature is noted from this and the other comment today.
Dave takes time to make videos and make us think about different scenarios. He is not fear mongering. Have you taken time to make videos about what to do in SHTF scenarios?
So only people who make vids get to criticize in your world, Thistlemom?
To Vera,
You said previously that you would not watch SP1 videos so I have to assume that you did not watch this video. If so, then you made a comment based on the title. I would assume that you also downvoted people who watched the video and disagreed with you.
To all,
It is easy to sit at a keyboard and divide people. If you have not read Ayn Rand’s Fountainhead, you may miss nuances in titles and content. My only rebuttal to Vera’s comment is to watch the video and ask yourself if the Information was valuable or fearmongering. I watched it twice and I saw nothing to make you afraid; I did see his point and hope others did too.
I did not downvote anyone who watched the video. Yes, I have a problem with the title. And I have read the Fountainhead. Several times. 🙂
Could the info in the vid be valuable? Of course it could. Since people like it here, it probably is. But the title crosses my line. I will not be shrieked at “you are going to DIE”! And will not recommend anyone who does that to people.
This is a minor criticism that has turned into my pet peeve. But that is all that is. If that’s what it takes to divide people then everyone has turned into snowflakes, no?
While I could argue that the title could be read in more than one context, I am going to have to agree with you. The information in the video was good and thought provoking. The title could have been better. Let’s hope that you never find yourself in the scenario that he outlined.
Hey Vera. Try the comfy Cooking Channel or some homemaking magazine. Why people like you come here and insult good folks challenging, encouraging, and educating the rest of us is beyond me.
I do not think he is fear mongering, just a what if situation.
Agreed.
Just like when someone suggests you test your grid down plans. Unless you actually turn off your main breaker for a few days you’ll never learn what you forgot.
Yes, he is no where near a fear mongerer.
More importantly, turn off your city water! What will you do?
Living in the country we have gone for a week or so, several times with no external power. That is part of the reason I originally put in some solar.
Being in the city, foraging is an impracticability. However, people with the means may want to get some sort of camera system for their kitchen and food storage areas, and consider putting food in a safe that most people couldn’t break into. Aside from this, when single people or couples for instance leave apartments and other dwellings in more urban areas, it will likely be hard to prevent this type of loss during desperate times if no one is there to watch the place (also without knowledge to secure the area). A basic consideration will be not letting the living area be unattended. However, if the food is taken, a backup plan would be to have canisters of teas, dried herbs and dehydrated vegetables and perhaps something that can be used as a flour base (gluten free oats, or almonds) stashed throughout other areas of the residence to make clear soups, and basic fritters. There are ways to eat simple and nutritious foods, but it requires training and self-study, and a mindset (considering this sort of thing), i.e., watching online videos then making the recipes. Personally, eggs, dairy milk, and meat are not a matter of concern, but working around it is, much like vegans already do. Anyone serious about preparing should watch vegan food preparation videos, and those about shopping with minimal funds; $20.00 food prep for a week and that sort of thing.
SP1, More really good advice!
What if you have a tornado or a fire at night and have to leave in your pajamas, after the crash, no insurance, no transportation, no help you are on your own! Part of being a prepper is to have plan A, B, C and D, don’t have all your eggs in one basket, disperse your supplies. Have back up or two for all your essentials, a cache or two for extra food, a plan for a place to stay, BOB, etc, ka ka happens!
As Proverbs 27 says
10 Do not forsake your friend or a friend of your family, and do not go to your relative’s house when disaster strikes you— better a neighbor nearby than a relative far away.
Always good to have trusted friends. Both to aid you in disaster and to be an ongoing support in the manner of Ecclesiastes 4:12
…11Again, if two lie down together, they will keep warm; but how can one keep warm alone? 12And though one may be overpowered, two can resist. Moreover, a cord of three strands is not quickly broken.
Having trusted friends, you can place extra supplies in their home as well as theirs’s in your home.
Just a twisted ankle or a nasty flu might make feeding the wood stove and such nearly impossible. Thus, my oft comment of the value of trusted friends.
And as a plan C or so a 40 gallon twist top olive barrel can hold a lot of dry storage foods, a bit of camping gear and some extra clothing and tools.
More good advice.
