Surviving the Collapse when you’re Old and Worn Out.

hi folks welcome to the prepared Homestead this is Travis thank you all for stopping by to watch it's it's kind of cool today a little cloudy as you can kind of see um more rain in the forecast I it's probably going to get a a little mix of clouds and sunshine and and periods of rain over the next several days here it's it's just kind of that cycle that we're in this is normal this time of the year um but it's actually pretty nice it's the the weather it's almost almost just a little chill to it especially when you first wake up in the morning um I want to talk to you today about uh well what what do you folks do that that may not be as um that may not have the the physical advantages as some of us and I I'm I'm trying to be gentle and putting it this way but for those of you that are in this situ ation I think you get it you're older you're disabled you're you're your single mom um you know what whatever the situation is you know you're not physically capable at least you don't think you are of living the lifestyle that I speak of all the time of being self-sufficient um going out and Wrecking and training and developing skills and producing your own food and you all of this kind of stuff that I talk about that's that's really necessary for us to to break away from this failing system um i' I've spoken many times and even recently that really I think the best way to kind of Stick it to them right Stick it to the Man is to not need them you know we've we've over the last century or so as a people have built this dependency upon the system upon the government of all that kind of stuff and and that's you know this this nanny State and it's way more than just welfare checks and stuff like that you know we're all have some level of dependency upon an established system that is controlled by Elites and we have to break away from that and for people that are physically able to do that you're you're able to go out and like I said you know work in a garden raise cows or goats or sheep or chickens or whatever it is and then defend all that you have an advantage and then there's other people that well you may not have that advantage and so I want to talk about that today because that's important and there are ways that you can work around that there's ways that you can still survive I've heard from so many people over the years that'll email me and they'll say you know I really support what you say what you do um it's great advice unfortunately for myself I'm old or I'm disabled or or whatever the the situation is and I've already just accepted that I'm going to die when this happens when when everything falls apart I'm just not going to make it and that's really the wrong attitude to have it's not guaranteed any one of us the healthiest and the strongest could perish very early on also because of whatever reasons and so that's why we prepare so that it gives us that Advantage kind of like an insurance policy to potentially not happen to us that that that bad stuff not happened to us so I want to talk to you about that today also uh just want to mention if you're in the market for some boomsticks or Freedom seeds uh there's a link down in the description should be also a pinned comment below they've been running some good sales I'll just leave a link to the whole website and you can go on there and you can you can order you know the freedom seeds online certain Boomstick components if you understand my my speaking you can order those online some of them you have to go through an FFL but it's it's some pretty good prices anyway so um you're older you're disabled you're in a wheelchair you're you have there's certain medical needs that you have or maybe you're young and healthy but you're a single mother you know or you're just really poor or there's there's all these types of of things these little boxes we want to put ourselves in and say that we you know ideologically we agree with all of this but you know the reality is is we just can't we we're we're that that group that can't and no one knows but it's it's ridiculous I think to just already give up you know if if you if you don't try and you give up then you've already lost and so let's let's get into that um first things first especially for and this this applies to all of those categories but it it it used to be very specific to elderly um only in modern times in our Western Society do we take the elderly and say well once you reach a certain age you're not really of any value anymore so we're going to put you away in a nursing home or you just live out your life of ease because you're just too old to do anything and you again have no value that's not true and in the past it's not been true um if you went back 100 150 200 years ago then you really wouldn't have to go that far back you could go back 50 or 60 years ago and see this happen in fact it happens today uh very commonly on say Amish and minite Farms whereas the grandparents once they reach a certain age to where they may not be physically able to go out and do all the hard work they become kind of the the the babysitters the nannies the the the the homekeepers for the for the most part uh they take care of things at home allowing the healthy parents to be able to do the more Manual Labor uh using my family as as an example my wife and I individually and together we're we're we're younger we're healthy still we can do most anything on our Homestead my wife can can do just about anything that I can do I may I may be stronger I may know more about certain things than she does but she can certainly keep up even if it comes to defense you know both my wife and I train often and so we we're capable of doing those things but we have children now our children are starting to get one of them is definitely old enough to kind of handle himself I mean he's a teenager so he's going through those I I've left my brain setting somewhere years but but still he's physically able the the younger ones they're getting up there but still the the principle Remains the Same um if if we're out surviving if we're trying to eek out a survival life um my wife and I can do a lot of those physical things and if there was an elderly couple uh in our group they could be the ones taking care of the children while we're out doing those things so while my wife and I are taking care of animals and Gardens and defense and patrols and and you know purifying water and Building Things and stuff like that um those of you that may be more on the elderly side you could be at home taking care of the children cooking for them educating them passing on stories there's there's so much there that is still so valuable of teaching them um there there's there's a and I'm not going to go into this for this video it's kind of a separate thing but it's very much related there's a lot missing in our society and I think it it plays big into why we're seeing so many younger people just have behavior issues and and and not be able to find themselves not have so many questions about life and everything I think part of it is is they uh we're now in at least the second generation maybe third um that hasn't had their grandparents much in their lives again back in the old days the grandparents would either live on the farm with them or they would live close by and they would be very much involved in the children's life and and now that's not happening so that is a place for the elderly but that's also the place for those of you that may be a little disabled um some of you that you know maybe you're for whatever reason you're you're not able to do everything so finding your place in a community where you can contribute in that way is very much needed here's here's the reality of things a a postapocalyptic shtf community um it's going to function a lot ways like a current Farm does you know on our farm and this is always the hardest thing for children is that the animals that exist on our farm they're there for purpose and if they don't have a purpose then they don't need to be there they're either there to breed breed or as food or you know some other you maybe it's wool or something like that or they're there to sell um we're we're not we don't have a petting zoo in other words we're not there to just have animals just because they're cute unfortunately that's how it's going to be in the future when it comes to people you you need to have a purpose and your purpose may not be going out there and doing hard manual labor or being on the front line of defense your purpose may be educating the children your purpose may be taking care of the home um carrying on Traditions uh you know th this may be your purpose you may be an advisor you know you may not physically be able to do the job but you have the the knowledge in your head so you're passing that information on to younger Generations uh so you have to find your purpose when it comes to being part of a community especially the the post shtf Community uh because that's going to be very important and everyone I believe if they have the desire can find their purpose in that I'm not one of these like that many in in the past and still currently you know have this idea that you know if you're not a a Green Beret a a a scientist a doctor um or or a mechanic or welder then you have no purpose in a in a in a community I don't believe that's true it takes all types to to make it work and so you can do that and again it's the same way if you're disabled it's the same way if you're if you're you know a single mom maybe you you know you've got little children and you're like I I can I can do some things but I can't do everything um that's fine you can find a purpose and so I would encourage those of you that fall in that category to find a purpose now along with that because I have people asking that fall into these categories all the time what are we supposed to do you know how am I supposed to handle this what how how would I be accepted into a community how would I find others that would see me of of any value again you have to take some put put something forth into it and part of that is your knowledge your skills your ability to do things uh that alleviates work for the ones that can physically do stuff but also you should be prepped up okay uh you should have you know a good amount of supplies prepped up uh developing your knowledge uh it's almost like a resume it's almost like a resume you go in and and you want to be part of a community you're want to be part of a MAG or whatever it is H you don't want to just walk in and say well I'm I'm old you know I'm I'm falling apart I got all these ailments but I still want to be part of it no you need to go in and and and talk about or present what you can do um because and and some are going to see that and some aren't that's just the harsh reality of it but I think most of the good ones would see that and see that you have something to offer I would highly recommend um anyone whether you're elderly disabled or perfectly healthy to be getting yourselves pretty well ready right now um there there's a lot of little things on the horizon this h5n1 I I do think it's probably going to turn out to be something more significant than what it is um I I this week alone I've got gotten a couple of pieces of Intel that I think are pretty solid um and both of them were similar in the fact that they the Intel is is that these these pramas protests that are going on that they're about ready to to kind of increase in intensity that there's there's plans to to move that along further um it's very possibly so uh we've got an election coming up in what six months or so and so that is heating up um there there's so much going on with that the legal things with Trump wanting to arrest him throw him in jail um the stuff going on with the the Border I mean there's there's been tens of millions of people coming to this country illegally folks tens of millions um hundreds of and hundreds of thousands of Chinese very likely Chinese that have either prior or current military background in the Chinese Army um there's been reports I said this I think yesterday reports of United Nations troops coming across the border illegally um it's I I don't want to I don't want to put too much fear into this okay but it's like all of these issues are starting to come together and congregate and and is it is this the year I I don't know but I can tell you that I think this is the year that things are going to intensify I don't know if this is the year that everything falls apart but it it does look and appear that things are starting to intensify even though over the last couple of weeks if you just looked at news and stuff on the surface it almost seems like we're in a little bit of a lull and I've talked about that before of how when we go through those time periods it's it's almost worse than when things seem to be really intense and so I I would I would be very much trying to get things ready for yourselves stocking up uh learning developing skills getting out there getting your body physic ready uh exercise lose some weight that kind of stuff but then for those of you like I've said in this video that that fall into that category that you may feel like you don't have as much to offer don't don't sell yourself short um in our community we have several uh elderly couples that are I believe just as valuable as any of the Young Bucks or something that can go out there and and fight or dig holes or you know butcher an animal anything like that because they they bring so much knowledge and experience in and um and the ability to take care of little ones which is also very valuable in a community uh When Things Fall Apart so the the bottom line for this video is is that number one better be getting ready soon but number two uh those of you that aren't in that top tier I guess you could say category of of what people would consider valuable in a MAG you do have value you can make it through this I'm not telling you you will uh but I'm telling you you can if if you if you persevere if you think clearly if you have that determination uh and then of course the most important thing to to make it through all this is to be prayerfully uh ready you know you you've you've kind of you've stocked up basically and you've been doing your workouts and you've been you know prepping up when it comes to spiritual strength and so you need to be doing that uh spending time every day in prayer and and Bible reading and and just getting your your life in order in that area and so I I again I've had several the reason for this video I've had several emails just in the last couple of weeks of people asking similar questions like this of what what are we supposed to do I'm old you know I'm in my 70s I I've got some some kind of disability yeah it's it's it's going to put you at a disadvantage um but you can make it if you do the right things and you you put get yourself into the right group of people uh you you are valuable and you can make it through that so don't sell yourself short folks um it's time to get your houses in order again I I think things are are starting to really heat up um and we need to be getting ourselves ready mentally physically and spiritually thanks for watching in catch you in the next video
