EMERGENCY Equipment For Your Home

welcome back to the shop so finally the video I've been waiting to show you guys forever getting your house in order or getting your shop in order so I have I haven't been doing a lot of stuff on the channel as far as you know creating different things because well I've been sick with the plague for a week or I guess go oh yeah going on a week or so now but also we've been working really hard in getting our house in order that means are one of our preparations you know dealing with food storage dealing with fuel storage with tools and all those things I'm really happy I'm excited to show you we have the south and the east wall and in the big shop already done so a lot of folks have asked about doing a shop tour talking a little bit about fuel storage and that sort of thing so let's we'll just start over there and we'll just do the whole thing talk about my philosophy what I'm keeping what I'm not keeping to be honest with you guys I probably got rid of 60% of the stuff I had in here and it feels so good so let's jump into it this here is the north wall and of course there's a double barrel wood stove in here it doesn't heat the shop because it's it's a pole barn and everything is so porous but I like to burn a lot of our paper and cardboard and things that way you don't have so much stuff you got a haul off to the dump and and and it's kind of nice to have a fire in here even when it's wouldn't even when it doesn't heat the whole place if you got a little project or you're working on your card changing oil you can get close to it just having that warmth factor is kind of nice so I moved the shop cabinet over here and this cabinet right here is ouch reserved for ripping my thumbnail off is for consumables and everything's organized now so I've got you know chemicals paint thinners and different things in there my Teflon tape this will be like fiber blades for the cut-off saws sandpapers LOC tights brushes grinding wheels all those things vacuum vacuum bags this one right here is all reserved for safety equipment so there's earplugs and safety goggles respirators everything Handy's when everything's handy you're more typically you're more likely to use it on the east wall I've got this shelving that was here when we bought the place it's one of those things that it's not very nice shelving or or benchtop but it's so good to tear down you nose because it is useful so what I've got over here is this is the battery station so if you pull your batteries out in the wintertime and put trickle chargers on them your batteries will last forever it's when they run down that they go bad a lot of guys will just buy a new battery every year for their lawnmower there's just no need to if you just take a minute and take it out you'll it'll go a long ways here we have a toolbox this is a brown toolbox here that has a full a duplicate set of a full set of metric and standard tools so if I need to to go help someone or I'm gonna go you know cross country or something I don't want to have to go through all my main tools on my toolbox and pour them into a box so that one's a grab and go ready to go a complete duplicate set and that's worth doing if you have extras go ahead and make it up we have this is all the stuff is ratchet straps and bungee cords so if we need to use the trailer or go get something and you want to secure it you can just grab those and you have everything you could possibly need tarp red flag you know that whole thing duct tape I I'm gonna try to keep this whole pinch top clear hey Mike I've told the story about my neighbor Henry he had a he had a bench at his shop that was about twice that long in a little tiny workspace about about 24 by 24 we did all of his work and the whole thing was just covered with stuff what I find is when I want to cut a 20-foot piece of steel or something long I was moving stuff out of the way so we're just gonna keep this clean the cut-off saws are over there and then that's that I've got some just random stuff right here this is all chains and chain binders in there this is all rigging stuff so heavy tow straps shackles clevis --is we've got come along all that sort of thing these are the saw horses that I've made I use them all the time for different projects and things so I keep those in there and of course all of our cribbing all of the cribbing we I made a video on that and I kind of copied what we have in the fire department everything is dedicated so you end up you know using all your cribbing to start fires in the shop because it's not identified so those are all identified and those are not to be used for firewood you know when you take the trouble to make them and to paint the end and put through the handle then you go and then of course is the jack stands down there and a couple of soft ponies so there's really not a lot of stuff right there what I found and III kept organizing and moving and cleaning and I just didn't seem to be able to get the handle on the shop and what I found was that I didn't realize that there are seasons in your life for different things and then those seasons they come and they go perfect example I had 16 jack stands why do I have 16 jack stands well I had a Jeep business back of the day and I needed a lot of jack stands because we would have multiple jeeps upon Jack when we were jokes when we were disassembling and those things but I don't I'm not in that phase of my life anymore I don't need that anymore and you can get bogged down by thinking because you remember what you paid for that stuff you know especially if you bought something or had to buy something for your business when you didn't have a lot of money and you just remember that it was just blood money how hard that was and I kept falling into that trap and I just knew how important that was meat to me back at the time but it's not important to me anymore and a guy doesn't need 16 jack stands but I've got a lot of neighbors that do need jack stands and Brian and insect so I picked out my four best ones and I got rid of all the other ones and it's just so liberating it was hard to do to see them go out the door you know cuz you know they're perfectly fine jack stands but how many jack stands does a guy need right so if you find that you're hanging on to stuff from from a previous season in your life or maybe there was a hobby that you were really into and you acquired all this stuff and maybe it was expensive you know just let it go you know if you ask yourself the honest question am I really gonna be doing that anymore is that something that is just it's just the thing in the past will let it go move that stuff on to someone that they could use it it's easier to get rid of it when you know someone's gonna be enjoying it so let's move on to the fuel and oil storage real briefly here in the middle of course we got the press all the welders plasma torches acetylene oxy stuff is going to go there and then this I'm actually going to store two big large term fuel tanks so I currently have 100 gallons of diesel on-hand and I'd like to have a hundred gallons of gas as well so I've got this particular tank it's got a ham on it I'm looking for another one these are pretty common those l-shaped ones I think they hold about 50 55 60 gallons or so I want to find an exact match to it that I'll park right next to it and I'll put non ethanol gasoline in with a fuel tank I like to have them on pallets I keep them on the on the pallet racks with a pallet jack and I can easily move them around because they're pretty heavy right in sometimes you know if it's if you got stuff in the shop and you need to go out and fuel the tractor you know you can just run it over to the edge and and then drive the tractor up by the door so that's my long-term or my back it's a nice sound and then we come to the I guess the gas and oil or the automotive type of storage so what as I've said what I've decided was a hundred gallons of each now 50 gallons of the diesel and 50 gallons of the gas are stored in the excellent wavy and five-gallon cans and some guys asking wouldn't it be cheaper just be better just to get one big tank or a big 55-gallon drum that's not a bad option I will be doing half of the storage in that but the problem with that stuff is it's just not man-portable and we're always thinking about you know when you when you're preparing for for who knows why did you want to have as many options as possible I mean if you find let's take a wildland fire for example if you find that a guy wants you you need to you need to bug out right you need to get your family and go and you with your RV or whatever you can't pick up a 55-gallon drum full of fuel or 100 or 300 gallon to put at the back of your truck but five gallons at a time like in the way viens you can do that it just it just gives you options so that's why I decided to split it up not gonna put everything in cans because it's just cost prohibitive but get yourself a good granddad always had six cans of each and I think that's a good place to start half a dozen or so six diesel six gas gives you a lot of options you know hundred gallons of diesel go a long ways in a tractor you can use a tractor for a vehicle if you have to right and the gasoline that'll keep the generators running for a long long time and if you just ran them when you needed to charge things you're talking about months so that was kind of my philosophy so what I everything we went through here and I weeded out all the things that didn't matter anymore and it came down to basically this the full set of tires for every vehicle that I I can change tires without a tire machine if I if I had to so you know just we're also talking about you know laying up in store for maybe hard times you know got jobs and different things and health is nice it's not how's the Bible put it tomorrow's promised to no man and so when you're in in the season of your life a season of Plenty it might be a good time to have these things you know go on Craigslist and get a you set of tires at 70 80 percent put those things away me who knows you know you might be really grateful for that because you know things are so expensive now a thousand thousand dollars doesn't buy a lot of tires on a truck anymore so a simple set of tires and I have complete whole oil change for everything that I have that will include any additive or synthetic regular oil differential things I don't over stock it or get carried away with it because you know it's so easy to get it's so available now and to be honest with you are you really gonna be worried about oil changes your gas is gonna run out way before you get to that point anyway so what I do is I keep one full change with the filters for everything and then when I change it I'll go on Amazon and just reorder I read all my part numbers I keep a sharpie right here on a magnet right all the part numbers on everything I can take a snapshot of but with my phone real reorder it I just service I did full service on the adventure van and I'm business double used for rudder and so I just ordered the new stuff this morning but you can see primarily automotive so this year is all diesel this is all non Nessun all gas you know the interesting thing right here I told you about granddad's old cans and I was replacing them well the ones that came from World War two those have not failed it was all the ones that were the cheapo copies you know from like the 70s 80s and 90s that all fell apart but the original ones I still have three of them they're still truckin so I cleaned them back out and put them in it pressed them back into service for a lot of gas so we got 50 gallons here a diesel got basically 50 gallons of non ethanol gas here we've got the 10 gallons for the mix I've got 10 gallons of kerosene for lamps more on that later I've got another 10 gallons right here of mix for the motorcycles we've got the two generators but that's just a pressure washer but the Honda mm which is what I'll typically use to keep the freezers going because we have big commercial or big big stainless steel industrial freezer we have a whole cow in there we buy the whole cow at a time we have some friends down the road that run cattle we just buy it from them so we want to protect that right so that generator alone can just sip fuel it can just idle along and run we kept our freezers going for eight days when we first moved here the power was out for over a week and then I've got the bigger one there that will plug directly into the house and run ten circuits set aside they're so important things so we can run the well pump we can run the hot water heater so we can have showers in normal water flush toilets and all that thing and then circuits set aside for like the master batt main bathroom the kitchen and the bedrooms so we don't have to power the whole house it's only five thousand but it will power those things no problem over here we have that's all automotive so you've got greases and oils and brake fluids and antifreeze you know every it's like a small store right there and you can quickly see it now so I can verify quickly hey I need to stock up on on transmission fluid or on brake fluid I can quickly see it and everything's there nice and tidy nozzles and stuff there for the gas cans this over here is more maintenance stuff for the cars this is a lot of car cleaning motorcycle cleaning stuff so you got your sprays and detergents in stuff this is all fresh water fresh water storage right here so there's these are the wavy and plastic cans so there's six of those these are 22 litres and then the regular 5-gallon ones I keep them I don't keep water in them because they'll freeze up here because it's not heated obviously but we have so much water with this multiple Springs on the property if we needed to fill them up we could take them down there with a tractor or wheelbarrow whatever fill them up bring them up to the house if we had to these cans down here now these are the old ones that were coming apart that replaced with the wavy ins those I'm just using for waste oil so when I drain oil on any of the engines I just pour it right into that and then I'll be building a what we call it kind of an injection oil injection system into the wood stove out here that we can get some heat out of that and enough that excess oil like we did the old shop for the Jeep's deep stuff and then more just automotive stuff basic stuff like I got rid of all the crummy five-gallon buckets and got a good couple five-gallon buckets and you know I just I'm not keeping multiples you know III got a look at things I had that's like 14 funnels it was just ridiculous so I I asked myself which funnels did you have you used in the last couple years and some of them I haven't touched for years you know they kind of were relics from the jeep parts business so this gave him way got rid of them just kept some good ones all the funnels I owned right there tire chains over here for the tractor I've got full sets of chains for everything this here I told you I was getting a backup filter water filter we use the aqua rain the gravity filter these are the best filters I've ever used because there's no you don't have to replace the cartridges we have been using ours for almost 10 years now and we just wash it off wash off the cylinders we have I bought for replacement of the carbon cylinders so I don't see any reason why we wouldn't get in another 10 20 years out of the one that we have but it's nice to have a backup so there's a complete another system here that I'll just keep in the boxes for emergencies with the replacement filters just in case so that is that tire chains I said and okay well then we'll finish up over here and I think I think we'll have it good grief it's just lapping up myself that this is this is the stripped-down version does a guy need I'll tell you guys to be honest with you once I get I'm gonna hit this again I'm there's gonna be another round of purging I could see things here that I'm not going to be keeping around but it's tough it's tough when you just don't know what's gonna happen and what to expect you hate to give stuff away that might be an essential item so yeah if you got the room that's what's nice about the pallet racking right there's so much of it you don't need to reinvent the wheel man I mean you look at Home Depot and you look at these big retailers I mean they have spent probably millions studying and researching what's the best way to maximize square footage and this is what they use and there's so much of this pallet racking out there I mean I bought this for basic scrap metal price on on Craigslist there's tons of it out there for foot stuff - foot stuff it makes great benches I have my buddy Tony he has to shop similar to this a forty forty but I think he's a little bit bigger than mine you know he what he did is he didn't start his shelving until it was up above his head so he put like his drill presses and he so he basically goes inside and that gives you a low ceiling that you can hang lights from so it's super versatile and you can move it around and it always has a value it's not that expensive so here of course you know often put one more shelf up there and put some put things up there on top that I don't get to very often I guess the bad thing about pallet racking is you have to have a forklift but if you have a tractor you know you can put Forks on that bring it into your shop apple press random just random table saws I got the big tough boxes I keep all my power tools and I don't use all the time in there it keeps them dry and safe and locked up and I've been putting some of the inflatable things in there to keep the mice away as well this is all power saws so this is all the whole chainsaw things so these boxes are all my tree climbing stuff my arborist stuff all my chainsaws oils axes anything to do with that and this is the best far as I've gotten on the south wall here so there's a four years of food right there for one person or one year for four people freeze-dried food up there I'm gonna be doing so people ask to do some taste test of that I'm actually gonna be doing some videos here coming up pretty soon of a freeze drying our own food as I mentioned maybe I mentioned on the livestream that we we decided to get a freeze dryer and we'll do a little taste test comparison and see how they do what the difference is you know what might be a better option to buy it pre pre done or to do your own or maybe a mix of the both the nice thing about this is that you can have it now so you're not in a vulnerable position if something were to happen I really really strongly recommend you guys to get yourself just a three month supply of the food from my Patriot supply i got a link there they put some special deals out there you guys can take advantage of that or not but I'll put a link down the subject heading you can go over to I think it's prepared with Wrangler star my Patriot supply and you save a few bucks right there so I'll put that there but we'll do we'll do some more on that in the future here we have the storage this is mostly jackin eyes dirt bike stuff and just random things and this is basically as as far as we've gotten and there's not much more to go so it's really gonna be nice to have the shop all done and all the floors opened up and a place for everything and everything having its place well I'm sure that's about all the all the talkin that you guys can stand up meet today's but before we close I just want to say this isn't necessarily a blueprint for you how exactly how you should do it you know it's kind of different for guys that if you're maintaining a big piece of land a lot of equipment you know it's one thing but for just most guys at least you know think about your situation what you're gonna need and if you do nothing else get yourself three months of food go to my Patriots apply or do your own make it your own canning you know joining the master food preserver program whatever that may be and and get that at least have a way have a plan for water make sure you have the ability to filter water and think about that you know maybe get yourself a food-grade 55-gallon drum right remember you've got 50 gallons in your hot water here that you can drain out but you might you know if it's old you might want to have a way to filter that so look into a Berkey or Alexa or there's several different good ones out there also gas and generators you have a generator you know by the get two generator now before disaster strikes and they'll all be gone you won't be able to get them and at least have at least twenty gallons of gas that's five that's four or five gallon cans and if you can't find by non ethanol if you can if you can't find it treat it but just be responsible and work it in so if you've had your gas for six months well pour five of it and ten of it in your truck and and then take it you know when you go around and just rotate it you can keep it fresh that way but those things right there three months of food the ability to store a little bit of water and filter water is super super key and and that and the generator to be able to power things up and charge phones and stay in communication at least not to mention firearms and personal safety but we can go into that in another time but that's it thanks for watching keep us in your prayers and may God bless you and your families
