What Type of Prepper are You?

guys everyone is a prepper in some way but where do you fall in the prepper category is the big question many people you know they lock their doors at night they make sure their car secured they have money in the bank they have some medical supplies around in case they need something oh and they make sure that their kids are home from school long time that can go all the way to being totally prepared for you know survival as a full-blown prepper really making sure that you have all your bases covered one of the things we're going to do today is go through a list of the different ways that people prepare and where you may fall in this list but also it may give you some ideas that you need to maybe prepare better in certain areas now of course first and foremost is just preparing for everyday type situations it doesn't matter again if the kids are out and you know you're checking in on them finding out where they are you lock your doors at night you're just concerned about the basics you make sure your car that the oil is changed you have gas in your vehicle those are things that people do on an everyday basis making sure you have your cell phone with you those are all things that you're being prepared for and it's just everyday life and so no matter where you fall typically that is one of the first places that we start to prepare but then it goes to being a survivalist being a full-blown prepper and that's where I fall in guys I prepare for whatever life can throw at me it's not just one specific thing but there are a lot of basics in survival that I want to take care of and I base all of those on the rule of threes three minutes without air three hours in extreme conditions three days without water three weeks without food medical and self-defense flow in between and that's what I base everything on so it doesn't matter if I have some kind of personal shtf on the side of the road or if we have complete civil unrest and we have a grid down situation I try to make sure that I have those things ready I recommend anyone having at least three months worth of food and having some kind of firearm to defend yourself having some medical but supplies put back having a way to get to water if you need it if utilities are down what are you doing if the power goes out what are you gonna do and not just for a short term but for in the long term and then I continually make sure that I am prepared in a lot of different areas number three is pandemics and the reason why that's number three is because we have just gone through a whole life change across the world whether it's social distancing quarantine eing lock downs I mean there's been a lot of things and it does disrupt the normal distribution system as we've seen toilet paper is gone hand sanitizer but also food has gotten somewhat scarce at a lot of different times it's according to what's going on and so guys if nothing else what we've just gone through should help you to at least think about being better prepared guys next is civil unrest and we've seen that across our nation here lately with a lot of the protests and a lot of the demonstrations but then they have broken down into looting and to riots and we've even seen it to where people are calling for defunding the police and guys we're talking about some serious issues that have gone across our country for a number of different reasons and it's not only just racial but it's also even the way that we govern each other and so guys that is one thing to be prepared for of course we've seen firearms and ammunition just completely drop a lot of people have been stocking up food and needed supplies whether it's generators or freezers and different things like that because a lot of times we still again have our utilities and we have our cell service and our internet but going to the grocery store you know could endanger your life in a urban situation especially which leads us to everyday self-defense many of us especially if you're watching this channel you're concerned about home defense with your firearms with non-lethal options you know or even if you carry a knife with you or whatever you have for your personal self-defense concealed carry obviously is a big thing here in the US and more and more people are finding the need for concealed carry guys you have the responsibility for your own self-defense whether they defund the police or not you're the first line of defense you are your first responder and you know you need to be ready to protect you your family and your property and so a lot of people feel that way and some of those people aren't even concerned about other areas of prepping whether it's food and water but let me just say this if you're really heavy on firearms and ammunition guys you really need to think about maybe putting some food back maybe how you're going to get your water you know your medical supplies and different things that fall into the prepper category because the last thing you want to do is to be tempted to use those firearms and ammunition to do things that go against who you really are and so guys if you're really hungry and your family's hungry sometimes you're going to turn out to be a taker and that's not what we need now big one is natural disasters and you know no matter where you live in the world there are certain things that come up occasionally whether it's a hurricane if you live on the coast whether it's in our area where we have tornadoes whether you're on the west coast you have earthquakes possible volcanoes flooding huge blizzards and snowstorms I mean there are a lot of things that we face on a regular basis and most people have those things in mind but a lot of times they're not really prepared guys if you live in an area where there have a lot of tornadoes know the drill know where you need to go have your safe room ready be able to get into the basement make sure that your family knows these things make sure you have the supplies that you need make sure you know where your electrical systems are where you can shut them down your water if you need to shut it down and having those basic things ahead of time next is just having medical supplies you're big on being able to take care of things if you have a situation at your home maybe your child has fallen and cut himself you have some calls you have you know pressure bandages you have a trauma kit you have a medical bag with a lot of supplies in there you carry it with you if you're going hiking you have a medical kit your own prescription drugs and you need you depend on those and so you need to have a little extra supply and so that is one thing that a lot of people do is they just make sure that they have medical taken care of economic meltdown that is one thing a lot of people want to protect their wealth and so they have money in the bank and guys there's so many people that live paycheck to paycheck and what that really does is it makes you a slave if you need to put new tires on your vehicle and you and it becomes a economic issue you know it becomes a crisis in your life guys you need to remedy that you need to have money in the bank my son when he first got his first job he just would spending money like crazy and then when something came up with his car he didn't have the money and I set him down and I told him I said having money in the bank is freedom it allows you to do whatever you need to do but when you don't have money in the bank you're a slave to money and so guys make sure that you protect your wealth many of us especially when it gets into the prepper side we have precious metals whether it's silver or gold also other items that we can sell and trade embargo and firearms are an excellent option you know to be able to buy and sell but making sure that you're investing your money wisely but you know the problem obviously is is that you know if we have an economic meltdown and we have a stock market crash how are you gonna protect your well and so a lot of people do a lot of things to be able to protect those things that they have not only for now but also for later in life next we have the bush crafters these are guys that really prepared to live with primitive survival skills with minimal tools they get out in the outdoors they learn how to make fires with a bow-drill method or with a flint and steel they learn to purify water you know using grass sand and charcoal they learn how to eat wild edibles that where they can live off the land they hunt they learn how to clean clean game they learn how to cook out in the wild and you know they learn all these survival skills to be able to get through tough situations many of them are just outdoorsmen you know they're not necessarily thinking about prepping they're just thinking about living a lot of bush crafters though take it a step farther and they do become Preppers and a lot of them go into the next option is homesteading and that's being self-reliant and it's having a place where you have Gardens you have livestock that you can harvest and you know you just try to live as much as possible without depending on the grid solar panels generators you know all kind of different systems to be able to be very independent and it's one of the things that the United States is big on when we founded this country people were self-reliant and we need to be careful not to be too reliant on the distribution chain because guys it is fragile next is a technological breakdown which would really be an EMP an electromagnetic pulse that can be caused by a couple of different things one is the Sun if you have some solar flares it can actually take out the grid the electronic grid and if that happens you're going to be in a world of hurt plus with some of the rogue nations that we have you know setting off an EMP high above the atmosphere setting off a nuclear bomb that will disrupt all electronics whether it's your cell phone your computers even your TV but also even your vehicle and this could really cause a lot of trouble and so a lot of people are concerned about emps it's really refreshing to see the government really kind of taking it seriously and starting to harden a lot of things that we have and there are steps with the Faraday bags or Faraday cages to be able to protect your electronics but if your cell towers are down you don't have any cell service and so having alternate ways of communication whether it's ham CB or even just two-way radios having a lot of backups you know having books that you can reference instead of relying so heavily on electronics and so guys technology is incredible it's really advanced and it's advancing every day but the more we become dependent on it the more vulnerable we can be so you need to really take steps to live in a world without technology now the next I'm gonna lump a few things together and one is climate change and that's a big concern for a lot of people started out as global cooling in the coming Ice Age and that's what Earth Day was founded on and then it turned into global warming and now it's just climate change which can mean a a lot of different things and a lot of people are concerned about what man is doing here on this earth to change the temperature and the climate of the earth really one of the biggest things you can do is just to be active but personally I'm not a big proponent of climate change but it's a highly debatable subject and so I'm gonna leave it at that also peak oil which would fall into that category a lot of people feel that we're gonna run out of our resources of petroleum or fossil fuels and so they're looking for a lot of alternative sources and trying to pass legislation for us to move from such dependence on oil to having other options and then just limited earth resources you know we're losing our forests we're losing our water source we're losing our game and our meat sources and so a lot of people are just concerned about losing earth's resources again these three things to me are not a big deal and that's just me but if it concerns you then you need to be prepared for it and probably the best way is to let your voice be known and that's what America is all about another is a world war which includes nuclear detonations and so you know protecting yourself from Fallout and guys honestly if you know the basics you can get through a nuclear blast as long as you're not in the detonation zone your chances of survival are great if you just do certain things and so knowing what to do having iodine pills making sure that you get indoors into a certain area of an inner part of your house or even better yet a basement of a concrete barrier wash yourself off do some basic things but world war is definitely something that concerns a lot of people and it can go well beyond just a nuclear detonation to invasion or whatever and so growing up in the Cold War it's definitely something that has always been in the back of my mind but with the Russia and China kind of calming down with a lot of their nuclear threats it has been one of those things that's kind of fallen to a lower priority for me but then when you have Iran and North Korea and other rogue nations that are threatening things it's something really that should be taken care of and you should prepare for and really it's not very difficult to prepare for those things and we're working on a video right now about nuclear fallout and how to survive a nuclear blast endtime prophecies which also includes other cultures in fact every culture pretty much has some kind of endtime prophecy of the end of the world and I'm a Christian so I grew up with revelation and definitely understand a lot of the threats and things that can happen during those end times and so a lot of people do prepare just being motivated by endtime prophecy and yet there are a lot of people that feel like you know that they're going to be raptured up and so they don't have to really think about any kind of situation but guys here's the bottom line is that even though it may not be the great tribulation or Armageddon the Bible is full of prophecies about things that can happen prior to that so for me I think that you should always be prepared and not only for yourself and your family but also for others but that is something that motivates a lot of people to be prepared including the Mormons which typically try to keep one year supply of food and their supplies ready at all times geopolitical situations or the change in government and that's one thing that is a big concern right now with the movement toward socialism we here in America with our freedom and our capitalism which I am a huge proponent I believe that whatever country you live in that should be your priority you should see for the best of that country here in America America first is what I believe in and so I think that with when we're better than other countries will be better as well so socialism to me is a big no-no I am totally against it but then when it comes to the New World Order which is global government I am definitely against that and a lot of people are concerned about a takeover of globalism and one of the problems is is that we lose all of our voice we lose our freedoms and we lose a lot of our basic rights and so guys that's one thing that I will always stand again one of the things that I've been saying lately is especially with the rise of socialism is know why you believe what you believe read the Constitution read wealth of nations read a lot of books that really show look through our founding fathers documents a lot of the quotes and know why you believe what you believe and guys that'll make you stronger and it'll make you more resolve to stand for what this country was founded on and last but not least zombies now very few people actually believe that there are going to be zombies Ana zombie attack but yet you know there could be some kind of pandemic that strikes that actually infects people and the same thing is like rabies or something like that zombies is going to be mentioned but one of the things about zombies is that most people consider zombies as people that are trying to disrupt everything that we've built and stood for and so really zombies just equal the bad guy and I kind of agree with that so guys if you're prepping for something completely different make sure you leave it down in the comments below it's good to see different ideas and different concepts from people because guys the big thing is the better my neighbors prepared the better I'm prepared and it's something that you always need to consider get to know your neighbors be friendly with them guys in a crisis situation they may be who you depend on the most make sure that your family's prepared make sure that you're prepared first hit those basics take the rule of threes and think you know what if something were to happen tomorrow I have these things already in place and you know your food your water your medical supplies your self-defense options because when the crisis starts that's when supplies run out and so thinking ahead of time guys is gonna save you a lot of trouble and could possibly save your life what we've seen with the pandemics what we've seen with the civil unrest and a lot of the rioting and looting guys it should inspire you to get prepared when we prepare we prepare to live guys if you're serious about prepping and survival check out survival dispatch insider it is one of the best most credible resources on the web using many of the top names in the survival prepping world we upload one video that's exclusive to the Insider every week I'll have a link down below in the description it's well worth checking out be strong be of good courage god bless america long live the Republic [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] and again guys hopefully this would give you some food for thought I don't want to do that this is not what I want to do now next we have the bush crap next we have the book the bushwhackers we have the bushwhackers we have the bush Quackers they learn primitive medicals they learn primitive medical they learn print they live if they're out in them and in an election it's the end of the world as we know it and guys 2020 is started out pretty rough
