Situation Update, 7/22/21 - The tide is turning: 50 steps for survival and VICTORY
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
All right, today is a more positive and practical edition of the Situation Update.
This is Thursday, July 22nd, 2021.
Mike Adams here.
And I know yesterday was about the convergence of collapse scenarios that are all taking place.
And then...
Earlier this week, it was about the Borgification of humanity, cybernetics, maybe what's in the vaccines, things like that.
Today, it's about really practical solutions, not just prepping, but some new technologies that are in existence now that I wanted to bring to your attention because it really allows more off-grid, sustainable living than ever before.
I'm also going to take you through a list of the top 50 things that I think are important for preparedness and survival and disconnecting from the systems that are going to go down.
I'm going to go through this list with you, just 50 things, and ask you really just to note what you're missing.
Because I think most of you listening will have probably most of these 50 things.
And if not, just note the ones you don't have and then make a point to work on those things and you'll be well prepared.
If you do these 50 things, I know that sounds like a lot, but again, you've probably already done a lot of them.
But if you achieve these 50 things, you are set.
Now, let me give you some context for all of this.
Oh, and by the way, Brighteon.tv launches now officially August 24th.
Alright, it's the new broadcast network.
It has a lot of new hosts, people who will have their own shows on the network.
I'll have a 30-minute show every day on Brighttown.tv.
I think it's going to be at the 2 p.m.
Central time slot.
Clay Clark has a show every day, 30 minutes.
I've heard that Stu Peters will have a show, I think, once a week.
I'm not sure exactly, but I've heard that he's going to have a show on the network.
I'm not actually the one coordinating all the hosts, but Ann VanderSteel will be joining the network.
The Resistance Chicks will have a show on the network, and there's a lot of other great people.
Of course, Alan Keyes will have a show and so on.
It's going to be quite amazing.
We're building a new studio near Austin for this, and I'm going to have guests in studio, in-person guests, some really amazing people, like former top military intelligence people, folks like that.
It's going to be a lot of fun.
So that's launching August 24th.
Mark your calendars.
And I think the broadcast will start at something like 9 a.m.
Eastern each weekday.
It goes from like 9 a.m.
to 9 p.m.
five days a week or something in that realm.
We'll know more as we get closer.
I also want to bring your attention to a great channel on Brighteon.com, and that is The New American.
That's right.
Just like from their website, TheNewAmerican.com, they've got a great channel on Brighteon, and just amazing interviews, amazing videos.
So check that out on Brighteon.com.
I also just want to give kudos out there to people who are doing great, amazing work, like Stu Peters.
And I think he's at StuPeters.TV. And he is just slamming some major interviews right now with Dr.
David Martin.
For example, it was just an eye-opening interview.
I was watching that this morning while I was making my smoothie.
I was like, oh my gosh, this is great stuff.
And he's interviewing Dr.
Jane Ruby.
Is that who it is?
And she's got amazing analysis.
I'm thrilled.
And even, for example, Alex Jones did a show yesterday based on all this research he did about the history of the cloned tissue samples.
That are the immortal tissues that are used to make vaccines.
And that was some great research.
And he nailed it.
He just nailed it.
And he found some videos from some former top big pharma researchers who admit that getting a double dose of the vaccine wipes out your immune system.
I mean, Alex just nailed the research.
And I just have to say, there's so many amazing people out there right now that I feel like I'm in great company.
And it's an honor to be one among many of us, perhaps you as well, who are spreading the truth and waking people up, empowering people, saving lives, and exposing the criminals and the corruption.
And in that is the good news here.
The good news is I think we're very close to a tipping point.
Very close.
In fact, Dr.
Reiner Fulmich, if I'm pronouncing his name correctly, Fulmich, who lives in Germany and he's filing the class action lawsuits against Big Pharma.
And he said this also in an interview recently that he thinks we're at a tipping point.
That this is a massive criminal cartel that's running COVID and COVID vaccines and the lockdowns and the mask mandates.
It's a giant global criminal cartel.
Run by Bill Gates and George Soros and Anthony Fauci and Peter Daszak and others.
And they're all going to go down because it's being exposed.
And Senator Rand Paul has now even, he's asked for a criminal prosecution of Anthony Fauci.
He submitted a criminal referral to the DOJ. Now, the DOJ will, of course, for the moment, ignore that.
But the process has begun.
The backlash is gaining steam.
And as more people continue to sadly die from the vaccines, it's going to be harder and harder for the powers that be to cover it up.
There are going to be more whistleblowers.
And at some point, I think soon, there's going to be a tipping point where there are so many researchers and doctors and nurses and even paramedics who are seeing the mass death from these vaccines.
There's going to be this massive backlash, this massive outcry, and it's going to be exposed that this whole thing was an anti-human extermination agenda launched by a handful of wealthy globalist controllers Who are probably demonically possessed.
Who are trying to exterminate the human race.
This is coming out.
And as Dr.
Reiner Fulmich says, it's time for Nuremberg Trials Part 2.
He said that.
Not me.
He said it.
And because he says there's going to have to be a special court system to sort all this out.
How do you properly compensate all the people harmed by vaccines?
When it's probably a couple of billion.
By the time they're done with this.
How do you compensate the survivors, the family members who lost a loved one who was killed by the vaccine?
What about the COVID lockdowns?
What about the release of the bioweapon itself, the engineering of COVID? What about all the science lies?
The medical journals.
You've got to sue the medical journals like the Lancet for lying and covering up the truth about ivermectin and other interventions that could have saved lives.
It's time for massive class action lawsuits and they are being filed.
Almost no one trusts the science establishment anymore.
People don't trust the drug companies.
They don't trust the vaccine companies.
They don't trust the media.
They don't trust the White House.
They certainly don't trust the WHO or the CDC or the FDA. I mean, public trust in those institutions has collapsed for good reason.
They've earned the collapse in that trust.
And as a result of this, it looks like the globalist agenda against humanity is Is now vectoring toward failure.
They're going to fail, which actually is something I predicted this entire time.
They're going to make life a living hell for a while.
We still are going to go through some crazy collapse here, but they will not succeed in their mass extermination agenda.
They're going to fail.
We can see the beginning of the tipping point now.
We can see there's going to be a massive backlash, massive uprising.
The truth is going to come out and people like Fauci will one day end up indicted for their crimes against humanity because he made the mistake of bragging about everything that he was doing on video for many years before 2019.
And his cohorts as well, his co-conspirators like Peter Daszak and Ralph Baric and so on, they all bragged about what they were doing as they were building biological weapons systems.
And it's all on video.
All right.
So this is the good news.
Now, the bad news is we're still going to go through an engineered collapse, as I talked about yesterday, because the globalists, the anti-human, you know, depopulation extermination lunatics, they're trying to cover their tracks.
They know the truth is starting to come out about all of this.
They know they can't cover up their crimes forever.
They made a huge tactical mistake by accelerating the timeline.
This stuff was supposed to happen in 2030 or 2035 or something.
They moved it up to 2020 and 2019 because of Trump.
Because Trump won, they had to get him out, so they moved up the timeline, but then they made a lot of mistakes.
They weren't fully prepared.
They had not achieved full censorship, for example.
And so they now know that they're caught, and it's only a matter of time before the truth comes out, before even the science establishment turns against these lunatics.
It's only a matter of time.
So they're trying to create these disasters, the Great Reset, the financial collapse, another biological warfare weapon to try to lock everybody down again.
They're trying to create these things to cover their tracks.
It's just the governments of the world and the globalists who run them have become the terrorists.
They are terrorizing humanity to try to distract from the mass awakening that has already begun.
So you understand how this is the best of times and the worst of times together?
Yeah, they're going to make us suffer as much as they can, but they're going to lose, and we can make it through this.
We can survive this.
And on the other side, there's going to be a new golden age where we take down and dismantle these death systems like the pharmaceutical cartels and death cult governments and the corporations that have Taking away the freedom to speak.
They're all going to be dismantled.
We win in the end.
So we just have to get through it from here to there.
So a lot of my podcast content is really about that process.
So some days, if you hear me talk about the horrific collapse that's coming, you might think, oh my God, it's all doomsday.
It's all negative.
Actually, it's You need to listen to the next day, like today, which is about, hey, yeah, we're going to have to go through that, but here's how we get to the other side.
And there are some really important developments I'm going to talk about right now that get us to the other side.
And some of them allow us to disconnect from the systems that the globalists are going to collapse.
So if you think about even buying gold and silver, like I mentioned frequently, that's about disconnecting from the failed fiat currency system.
But also, if you think about having an off-grid power system just completely disconnected from the power grid, where you have solar and energy storage and inverters and so on, that's also another way to insulate yourself from the engineered takedown because you're off-grid anyway.
And in fact, that's the subject here today for the first part here, is that there have been some extraordinary new developments in lithium-ion batteries that Electrical storage systems for off-grid storage that just didn't exist even two years ago.
And they're here now and they're available now and they are so much more affordable than what used to be.
You know, lead-acid batteries that only lasted three years and then you had to replace them.
That was insane.
But these new lithium batteries and their new technologies and solar charge controllers and inverters and so on, it's pretty amazing.
And it's available now.
And I'm just going to mention a couple of companies here.
These are not sponsors.
This is just me doing research.
And I am a customer of one of these companies, so I'll mention that.
But there is a sponsor today, and that's the Satellite Phone Store that you're familiar with.
And the website for them is sat123.com.
And the Satellite Phone Store is for having emergency communications when the cell towers go down and the power grid goes down.
Or if you're stuck out in the middle of somewhere and you have no cell service, As long as you can see the sky, you can use a satellite phone almost anywhere on planet Earth, including on the oceans.
And the satellite phone store, just for a monthly fee, sends you a free phone that normally costs, what, $800 or something.
You get it for free with a monthly plan, and you get minutes every month, and then they roll over when you don't use them, so you can use them in an emergency when you need them.
They just kind of accumulate.
And they are a sponsor of our preparedness podcast, and they're one of the best sponsors out there.
They have great customer service.
They also have bandwidth.
Like, you can buy a device from them that gives you emergency satellite bandwidth right now almost anywhere on planet Earth.
I've used it.
It works.
You point this thing at the sky, and then it creates a Wi-Fi hotspot, and you just connect to it from your laptops, and you can do business.
You can read your emails.
You can browse websites, whatever you want to do, anywhere on the planet.
So check them out at sat123.com.
Now let's talk about off-grid solutions for electricity because a lot of this is new stuff.
Do you remember in February of this year when we had the deep freeze in Texas and I had suffered some bad problems and preparedness failures at the time?
That's when my dog fell through the ice and I was able to save him.
And I was able to save him because I was able to start a piece of equipment, an excavator with a long arm, and I was able to break the ice and he was able to swim to shore, which is pretty amazing.
And the only reason I was able to start my excavator was because I had this lithium-ion extra battery pack because it was like five degrees outside.
It was really cold.
And I'm convinced that that lithium saved my dog's life.
Well, During that week, I was unable to start my main John Deere tractor that has a 50 kilowatt PTO driven backup generator on it.
And that's my plan.
When the grid goes down, I just crank up the tractor.
And I throw a transfer switch and I plug in a big, thick cable.
It's like, I don't know, two inches in diameter.
Big, big electrical cable.
I plug that sucker in and I can run my operation on a tractor generator, but I couldn't start the tractor.
It would not start because it was too cold and the lead-acid batteries that it has did not function.
And so I decided to upgrade the battery first on my...
Excavator.
I upgraded it to a lithium-ion battery replacement from a company called Antigravity Batteries.
And that's their website, antigravitybatteries.com.
And I have since been using that battery, and it's just a drop-in replacement for a regular car or truck battery.
Again, they're not a sponsor, but they sell these batteries on their website.
You can replace your truck battery, your car battery, equipment battery, generator battery, whatever, with their lithium-ion batteries.
And I've got to tell you, their batteries freaking rock.
They work.
I have never had my equipment start so quickly.
And it's, you know, a big diesel motor.
It just starts right up.
Boom!
And this battery, I bought a little $35 device from them that attaches to the battery, and it broadcasts via Bluetooth its status, its voltage status, so I can just pull up on my phone and I can look at the voltage of the battery in my machine.
How cool is that?
So I know if it's good.
And it also enabled me to track down that there was a battery drain on the system, which I suspected.
Like there's something in the electronics of the machine, of the excavator, that's slowly draining the battery.
So I was able to install a transfer switch there and stop the battery drain.
And I was able to diagnose that with this device.
So what I'm now in the process of doing is buying these anti-gravity batteries for tractors.
And I'm going to swap out every piece of equipment that I own.
All the batteries, all the lead acid batteries are getting replaced with lithium ion batteries.
And by the way, in an emergency, those lithium ion batteries are battery banks that you can attach a 12-volt inverter to.
Which you can buy, you know, on Amazon.com or wherever for 50 bucks.
You can have an inverter.
You just clamp it onto the battery.
And then guess what?
You've got power to drive laptops or cell phone chargers or flashlight chargers or radio batteries or whatever you want.
It's like, you know, it's a big battery bank.
You just attach an inverter to it.
And if you want to recharge that battery, just buy a solar panel and buy a solar charge controller that works with lithium.
You can kind of piece this thing together.
Oh, by the way, there's another company that sells these I've found.
It's called dakotalithium.com.
And I haven't yet purchased anything from Dakota Lithium, but I'm going to.
Because I just found out about them.
But check out what they have.
And again, if you want to kind of piece together your own emergency off-grid solar power battery bank, this is a great way to do it.
DakotaLithium.com.
They have a battery.
It's a little bit bigger than a car battery.
And it weighs 59 pounds, which is about the same weight as a normal lead-acid truck battery.
Check it out.
This sucker holds 200 amp hours.
200 amp hours at 12 volts.
I mean, it goes through 6,000 recharge cycles and still has 50% capacity.
6,000 recharge cycles.
This thing's going to last a lifetime.
6,000 recharge cycles.
It has an 11-year warranty.
Have you ever heard about that ever in a battery that goes in a vehicle?
Well, maybe this doesn't fit in a vehicle.
It's a little bigger.
But they do have a vehicle-sized battery there that's 100 amp hours.
But if you just want a big battery for energy storage, they have this 200-amp hour battery, and I think it's like $1,600, but that's actually very affordable per amp hour.
You know, these lithium prices are coming down.
Or you can get 100 amp hours for like 900 bucks.
And this is really revolutionary that you can store so much energy now so affordably in devices that weigh so much less than what lead-acid used to weigh.
You can use these in vehicles.
You can buy these deep-cycle batteries and use them in solar batteries.
Well, off-grid systems.
An off-grid system where you disconnect from the grid and you just go off-grid.
You know, I did the math years ago.
It was about 12 years ago.
I was trying to see if I could go 100% off-grid.
And I did the math on the lead-acid batteries and how much they cost and how frequently you have to replace them.
And the math was horrible.
It was like it would cost me like a couple thousand dollars a month To run off-grid, where the electricity bill was only like $400 a month.
So it didn't make any sense at all at the time, because the old-style lead-acid batteries have to be replaced all the time.
I mean, every few years, because they suck.
It's like the worst technology in the world.
I hate lead-acid batteries.
No, seriously, I actually have hatred for a physical object.
When I see them, it just makes me angry.
I hate them so much!
But lithium eliminates that.
It's weird.
I hate lead-acid batteries more than I hate any living being.
You know what I mean?
I don't even have that much hatred for Joe Biden.
I just feel sad and sorry for Joe Biden.
But I hate lead-acid batteries.
It's weird.
Because they suck and they're full of lead and acid.
I mean, everything's bad about them.
And they're heavy and they don't work.
But lithium solves all those problems and now there are a lot of lithium battery companies that are really revolutionizing all of this.
And also, let me give a shout out to this company.
Even though it's a China company, it's called BYD. And you can check out their website at EN, as in English, en.byd.com.
And you can see they have off-grid battery storage units.
Like, modules on wheels that will store, say, 10 kilowatt hours.
And that unit only costs like $6,500.
And you may think, well, that sounds like a lot.
Not compared to what this used to cost, and considering the lifetime of these batteries, the cost per day of operating these systems now is a fraction of what it was 10 years ago.
So, even, just check out BYD.com, because they sell a lot of units that are used for off-grid batteries.
And then there's companies like VictronEnergy.com.
Victron.
V-I-C-T-R-O-N. VictronEnergy.
And by the way, they're not a sponsor either.
None of these are sponsors.
This is just my own research.
VictronEnergy.com has all these really great solar charge controllers now with all kinds of Elaborate communications.
You can pull up a web page.
You know, you connect to the unit and it shows you all the kilowatt hours being used and being charged and the efficiency of this and that and the cycles and everything.
It's got everything you could possibly want, even if you're a total data geek like me.
And Victron has the inverters and everything you need.
So given all of this kind of equipment that exists, You can now live in an off-grid situation relatively affordably compared to just five years ago.
And the timing couldn't be better since the globalists are going to crash the grid.
So one of the reasons I'm looking into this is because I am now attempting to go 100% off-grid yet again.
This time I think I can do it.
Although, you know, 12 years ago I could not because the technology didn't exist.
But now you can.
And you might be thinking, well, you can't afford all that stuff because you're getting ready to buy a house in Texas, let's say.
And I would say to you, maybe you should buy a tent.
I've been mentioning that.
Buy a canvas tent and have an off-grid power system.
Living in a tent with electricity is better than living in a house without electricity.
That's what I'm saying.
A house without electricity is no house at all because it's unlivable.
A tent with electricity, seriously, like a canvas tent with like 500 square feet, you can live in it and you can have fans that are running on Electricity, because you have energy storage and a few solar panels, you can have computers and flashlights and fans, and you can live in a tent.
I would rather live in a tent with a fan than a house with no power.
That's all I'm saying.
So, you know, think about your options.
But better yet, a house with power would be great as well.
But here's the thing.
Most people live in homes that...
Are very energy intensive to cool or to heat because they have houses that just, you know, stick up out of the ground and they just have, you know, two by four construction with insulation is the typical thing.
And it's not really that energy efficient.
So it takes a lot of HVAC to heat and cool.
And what you'll find once you get into solar systems is that you really need a more energy efficient style of living.
Which typically means something other than a wood frame construction.
And by the way, living in a tent is very ecologically efficient, because you don't even try to heat it or cool it, except you might heat it with a wood stove, and that's fine.
But you don't try to cool it with air conditioning, obviously.
You use fans.
So all of this stuff now exists, and of course it takes money to get into it, but we all have some amount of money.
It's just a question of where we choose to direct that money.
Again, I would rather live off-grid with some solar power and a canvas tent and a bicycle than Then drive a really expensive car that doesn't function anymore because the economy shut down and you can't get parts from China and there's no fuel refineries in operation anyway.
You see what I mean?
A lot of the things that people spend money on that they think are luxury, like, oh, look at this amazing home or this amazing car or this amazing boat or people who have jet skis.
None of that stuff's going to work.
It's all going down if the globalists succeed in the collapse.
So, all right.
It's all about where you direct your funds.
Now, with that said, I want to move into my top 50 preparedness checklist.
Because you'll notice that this checklist is about shifting into an off-grid status, disconnecting from the systems that are going to crater.
Or maybe a better way to say it is having redundancies.
You know, doesn't mean you can't still go to the store if the stores are open and if they have product, you know, you can still get them.
But in case the stores don't function, this is a backup plan.
So I spent quite a bit of time coming up with this list of 50 things.
There's not just 50 objects like, you know, a sharp knife, a block of salt.
No, it's 50 categories of things to think about in many cases.
I do name a lot of objects here, but this is more theme-oriented.
And I don't expect anybody to go through all 50 and nail every single thing, although I will list this in the description of this podcast.
If you want to see the full list, it'll be in the description.
But I encourage you, as you listen to this list, to just note the things that you're missing.
And then make a point to shore up that area of your preparedness.
Because as I said earlier, if you cover all 50 of these things, you are in really great shape.
You're way better off than 999 out of 1,000 people on this planet if you cover this list.
Now, there is a lot of cost involved in all these things, and you're going to need space for it.
You may not have space.
Some people are in the process of moving.
You know, they're trying to get out of California.
I don't blame them.
So they're not in a mode where it's about, you know, collecting things.
It's about getting rid of stuff so they can move.
And I get that.
That makes perfect sense.
You can collect it when you get there if conditions allow.
But wherever you are in your own preparedness process, listen to this list.
And see if you might have some deficiencies or just things you might not have thought about.
So here we go.
Point number one is to have rural land in a red county, in a red state.
This is if you're in the United States.
Or if you're in Canada or Australia or somewhere else, get away from the cities.
And I also want to mention, it's probably not a good idea to be at sea level because of what may be happening with earth changes and tidal waves and things like that.
So, you know, asteroids striking oceans.
So just, I don't recommend living on the shore or living at zero elevation.
Get above sea level.
Number two is you've got to have access to water.
And it needs to be through non-electric means.
So ideally, you have water on your property.
It could be surface water, such as a pond, or maybe you have a place where you could build a pond.
You know, just collect runoff water.
Or in Texas, they call them tanks.
If you see a listing in Texas, it's like, you know, 10 acres with two tanks.
It doesn't mean there's like World War II fighting vehicles.
It means there's two ponds.
Or you might have a stream, or you might have a hand pump well, so you can get water from a well without electricity.
Or you might have a barn or building where you could do rainwater collection, and you might have enough rain where that makes sense.
But you've got to have water, otherwise, obviously, you can't live there.
Okay, and then you need, number three, water filtration.
Especially if you're collecting surface water, you know, it's full of bacteria and amoeba and all kinds of things.
So you've got to have a water filter, and of course I recommend a gravity filter.
But it's also good to have a camping pump filter in case you need more water in a hurry.
All right, so one, two, and three are land, water, and water filter, which makes perfect sense.
Number four is soil and seeds and fertilizers and tools for growing food.
When I looked at, you know, many years ago, when I looked at buying land in central Texas, I knew I needed a place with good soil.
Now, a lot of the land east of Austin, Texas, has great soil, but then you go west of Austin and it's all just limestone with no soil.
There's a very definite dividing line that runs through really a lot of Texas.
So understand, wherever you go, You need to make sure that it's got soil.
And if you actually know the area, you can read the soil by looking at the plants that are growing.
You can just look at the trees and you can know, I mean, if you have the experience.
Like I can tell you the quality of the soil just by looking at the trees.
That's it.
I mean, it's because I'm so familiar with the plants and the outdoors and the soils and everything.
For example, if I'm someplace in Austin, it's just cedar trees growing everywhere.
I know there's no soil because cedar trees do really well in, you know, two inches of dirt with limestone for the next 50 feet.
That's all.
You see cedar trees, there's no soil.
All right.
But, you know, it may differ based on where you are.
Make sure you've got fertilizers and seeds and tools and all that because you're going to need to grill your own food at some point.
Then number five is about stored food.
So remember the role of stored food is to get you through some period of time, and I recommend a year.
Have enough stored food to last a year for whoever you have to feed so that you can start up the gardening and And you can make some mistakes without dying.
You know, like you can lose a few crops.
You can have an unexpected freeze or something.
But eventually you're going to have to get to your own food production.
That's got to be self-sustaining.
So give yourself a year to get that process going.
So a year of stored food.
And hopefully you don't eat all the stored food because maybe you're starting to produce off-grid food, you know, garden food within 120 days or so.
And you can start supplementing your diet with that.
By the way, you'll get healthy and you'll lose weight.
If you're overweight, you'll just slim down automatically.
All your clothes get all baggy.
Not even on purpose like the gangbangers in L.A., no.
You'll be looking at your neighbors like, dude, your pants are down around the bottom of your butt.
And you're not a gangster?
That's amazing.
Wow.
Okay, number six, salt.
And other spices like pepper and so on.
But salt is key because salt is, of course, well, there's going to be a shortage of salt in a collapsed scenario.
People won't have enough.
Just like animals are always searching for salt.
This is why they have salt licks and so on and salt caves that the elephants go to.
Why do cattle lick salt?
Because they're not getting enough salt from the grass.
Well, salt allows you not just to flavor your food, but you need salt for nutrition.
And then you also can use salt for preserving, you know, meats and foods.
It's a preservative.
So salt's going to be very valuable.
Make sure you store a lot of it.
Also, salt is a source of trace minerals when it is like a Himalayan salt, like what we sell, you know, at the Health Ranger store or a sea salt.
But today's sea salt has a lot of microplastics in it because the oceans are polluted.
So Himalayan salt is the cleanest salt because it's from millions of years ago.
And it's got no plastics in it.
And it's got trace minerals.
So there you go.
All right.
Number seven is a means of cooking, which means a way to boil water, maybe a rocket stove or wood stove with a cooking surface.
I'm looking into solar ovens.
I have one now that I haven't tested yet.
Solar oven's a good thing.
Make sure you have a grain grinder.
Make sure you've got all the pans and pots and cups and utensils and everything to cook with wood, you know, wood heat.
Or maybe you have a rocket stove and you're burning pine cones or something and twigs.
That's fine.
You can cook a meal on twigs.
All right, then number eight, shelter.
You know, as I haven't mentioned shelter yet, but obviously you need that.
Could be a house, could be a tent, could be a cabin, could be a cave.
Who knows?
Could be an RV, you know?
Could be maybe just going to live out of an RV. Or there are tents that attach to trucks.
Have you seen those?
Where you sleep on top of your truck and there's a big tent that...
Folds out and you have like a living room beside your truck and a bunk on top of your truck.
It's like a, what are they called, like rooftop tents, things like that.
But you're going to need shelter, obviously, so make sure you cover those bases.
Number nine is cordage, which preppers and survivalists, of course, are always talking about cordage for good reason.
You need ropes, you need twine, string, 550 paracord, you're going to need fishing line.
And then don't forget zip ties and bungee cords and rubber bands and different connectors and Velcro straps and all kinds of things.
You almost can't go overboard on this because you're going to need rope in ways that you didn't imagine.
And learn how to tie a couple of knots while you're at it.
It's always handy.
Number 10 is fire starters.
Means to start fires, so not only matches and waterproof matches, but also magnesium rods and fire-starting devices, the strikers.
And learn how to use them, by the way.
I've done a video on that.
It's at prepwithmike.com.
It shows you how to scrape the magnesium off the magnesium block and then strike it with the striker, light it up, and put some grass and put some twigs.
I did all that indoors, which I don't recommend, but I had a fire extinguisher, so it was all right.
Number 11, knives, blades, you know, edges.
For cutting, you know, for filleting fish, whatever.
You're going to need edges for survival, edge weapons, utility knives, and so on.
You're going to need a hatchet.
You're going to need an axe.
And then while you're at it, get yourself a sledgehammer and a mallet and some hammers and stuff.
You're going to need to swing some iron.
And it's not a bad idea to have a couple of swords, too.
I'm not even joking.
Have a sword or two.
Get a machete.
For cutting grass and weeds and things like that.
Have a sword as a last-ditch defense.
If the whole world goes full Mad Max and everybody shoots up all their ammo, it's going to go to swords.
Can you imagine?
One year, you were buying cryptocurrency, and then two years later, you're wielding a sword against zombies.
Welcome to the 2020s.
Alright, but anyway, you're going to need a good prepping knife, that's for sure.
You know, like a forest, I don't know, an outdoor camping knife.
You know, a good all-purpose knife.
Okay, number 12 is community.
Don't forget to make friends and visit local farmers markets and buy some stuff and meet the farmers.
How about that?
Just kind of meet them.
Make yourself known so that when the collapse comes and you show up trying to barter something, You're not an unknown person like they've seen you before.
And you're going to need more than just one person at a time, you know, to survive anyway.
You need a group.
You need like 10 people in your group to be able to really effectively survive with all the certain skills and so on and be able to have security.
You know, somebody's got to do the night watch and it needs to be more than one person so that one person doesn't fall asleep.
So you need two people for that.
You know, already you're starting to need some specialization.
All right, so start making friends.
Number 13 is firearms and ammo.
It's kind of self-explanatory.
If you don't have firearms and ammo, everything else that you've put together is just going to get stolen from you.
So think about security.
Number 14 is, for barter, gold and silver, including so-called junk silver, which is the pre-1963, is it?
Silver coins, you know, quarters mostly, dimes though.
And you can use those for barter because they're 90-something percent silver.
And there's small denominations, very useful in that regard.
Might not be a bad idea to have a little bit of spare cash, greenbacks, just in case.
It might be useful in the early days of the collapse, but ultimately the dollar will be worthless, so don't overdo the cash.
Have some barter items like alcohol, coffee, cigarettes, ammunition, fuel, seeds.
Or just the federal department?
Is it the ATF? Alcohol, tobacco, and firearms.
That's pretty much your barter list right there.
Aren't they also called the ATF? Like, the BATF, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, wasn't that part of their name officially?
Explosives?
I think so.
I think so.
I don't know.
It's a running joke.
It's like 4th of July weekend in Texas.
You know, B-A-T-F-E. Okay.
But have some things to barter because that's what's going to keep you alive.
That was number 14.
Number 15, radio communications.
You've got to have two-way radios.
And I've been recommending the Baofeng UV5R as a starting point.
You need a dynamo radio too.
You know, a hand wind-up type of radio.
And you can tune in to the news or maybe it's propaganda, depending on where you are.
Make sure you've got radios that can hear lots of things so you can just listen and gather intel about what's going down.
Oh, there's been a new announcement!
Biden's military strike force teams are in your neighborhood with forced vaccinations at gunpoint.
Wouldn't it be useful to know that in advance?
Probably so.
Number 16 is storing some fuel.
You're going to need diesel.
I recommend diesel because gasoline is just very dangerous to store and to use, for that matter.
And gasoline doesn't store very long, so...
It's really a good idea to standardize on diesel for everything.
Use diesel in your truck, diesel in your car.
And if you buy the right kind of diesel fuel, like high-end diesel, it has stabilizers in it for long-term storage already.
But you can add stabilizers if you want.
You can make diesel last 10 years.
And that's a smart thing to store because it's stored energy.
But diesel, you may remember, I bought that bright light lantern, the multi-fuel lantern, and I have successfully fired that sucker up on diesel.
And so that lantern, and the spelling is, I think it's B-R-I-T-E-L-Y-T, bright light, but L-Y-T for light.
That lantern, which is very pricey, You can use it as a cooking surface, as a space heater, and as a source of really bright light, it turns out.
All on diesel.
I've proven it.
That's why I bought it, because I wanted to see if I could use diesel to do those three things, to create light, heat, and cooking.
And it turns out you can.
You absolutely can.
I'm going to do a video on that later, but Plus, you can put diesel in a truck or a diesel UTV or a diesel generator.
Lots of uses for it.
Number 17 is emergency medicines and antiseptics.
Don't forget the iodine, the chlorine dioxide, the colloidal silver, manuka honey.
You know?
And also charcoal.
Very useful for medicinal purposes.
Also get yourself some horse ivermectin, you know?
And artemisinin.
Or maybe pronounce it artemisinin.
That's from sweet wormwood.
That stuff kills viral infections.
That's good stuff.
There's a lot of other herbs and so on.
I'm going to talk about that later.
But emergency medicine and antiseptics should include isopropyl alcohol, povidone, iodine, hydrogen, peroxide.
What else?
I don't know.
The common sterilization chemicals.
And you almost can't have too much of that stuff because you can always barter that because most people didn't think of this in advance.
Okay, number 18 is all about stopping bleeding.
So tourniquets, wound bandaging, gauze, anti-clot treatments, which is sometimes gauze and sometimes bandages and so on, for treating wounds that are bleeding.
Make sure you cover all that.
If you don't know how to stop bleeding, you're not ready for the end times.
Trust me, especially if it comes down to swords.
In a sword fight, everybody bleeds, it turns out.
Okay, number 19, pandemic PPE. I know we're all tired of hearing about masks and visors and body suits.
This has been way too much of that already.
But what happens if the globalists actually release, like, Crazy Ebola or something.
Maybe they're saving the real bioweapon for the desperate phase.
And it's not a bad idea to have some masks and some latex gloves and some body suits and so on.
And plastic sheeting, you know, liquid sprayers.
Because they may not be done with the biowar.
And this time they may release something that really kills everybody.
Not the fake plandemic that we just went through.
So something to think about.
And full-face respirators, too, not just the crappy little N95 masks that we now know don't work.
Okay, number 20, herbs and essential oils.
Herb seeds.
Don't forget an ultrasonic cleaning device to make herb extracts.
And don't forget the vodka for making herb extracts.
It's not for your entertainment.
It's about making herbs.
And then you're going to need lavender and peppermint, oregano, tea tree, things like that.
Get yourself some of the standard oils like lemon oil, some D-lamonene from orange oil, and so on.
Stock up on the herbs wherever you can, and they're essential oils, because a lot of those medicines, they'll store for, you know, a couple of decades, and they have lots of uses.
I better hurry through this list.
Man.
Number 21 is honey.
Paraffin, glycerin, beeswax, and vitamin E. These are things to make salves and lotions and topical medicines, right?
So you need beeswax.
And beeswax lasts how long?
Oh, forever!
So get yourself some beeswax and some glycerin and some paraffin and stuff like that so you can make this.
And then you just need a cooking surface, you know, like a wood stove.
Number 22, night vision and thermal observation equipment.
Now, I know this is a very expensive realm.
However, however, in the last two years, there's a new company.
What are they called?
AGM? Yeah, here they are.
AGM Global Vision.
And AGM makes now entry-level handheld thermal monoculars that start for under $500.
They're kind of low resolution, but it's better than nothing.
It's still good equipment.
Now you can spend like $5,000 or $6,000 or more with the super high resolution, super long range binocular with laser range finder.
You can go like full Luke Skywalker if you want, but You don't have to.
You can get a lot of lower-cost stuff now, and you need a thermal observation monocular because that lets you see the zombies at night.
Assuming the zombies have warm body temperature, I'm not sure.
Some people think zombies are cold.
I'm not sure, but I'm not betting my life on it.
Nevertheless, it's good to have night vision equipment, and I mean real night vision, which means light amplification.
I'm not talking about the cheap low-end ones that emit infrared light and then basically just have kind of a video camera detector on them.
So if you see night vision equipment on Amazon for $200, that's not really night vision.
That's just infrared light.
Real night vision equipment will be quite a bit more expensive.
You know, Gen 3 stuff or white phosphor stuff.
It's going to be a few thousand dollars, but you need to have a pair of night vision binoculars or at least a night vision monocular.
Some of them now can be as low as, I don't know, $1,500 or so.
Opticsplanet.com is a place that sells tons of night vision gear.
Everything that's on the market, basically, if you want to check them out.
But anyway, you're going to need night vision, and you're going to need thermal observation equipment.
And I'm sorry that this is one of the bigger expenditures that you're going to have to make, but there's just no way around it.
You've got to be able to see in the dark, because the bad guys will.
That's for sure.
Now, speaking of thermal, number 23 is thermal blankets.
You know those space blankets?
The thin, you know, little thermal blankets.
These are important for anti-detection by other people's thermal imaging equipment, including drones and robots.
So what if the globalists unleash their drone army, and they all have thermal cameras, which is already, that exists on drones today.
It's very common.
How do you hide yourself from a thermal drone?
You wear a space blanket, like you make a poncho out of it, and then you make a hat out of it, and you spray paint it so it's not silvery.
Like spray paint a camo pattern or something, but it's a thermal blanket.
It blocks your infrared rays from being detected by the thermal cameras.
That's how you hide from robots.
Hopefully this won't go to a robot war, but...
These days it's hard to tell.
I'm not sure if we're going to be fighting zombies or robots first, or maybe demons, but it's good to have a defense against each one of them, just in case.
Alright, number 24.
You're going to need lots of lights.
You know, flashlights and little camping lights and so on.
And if you want to know what I think is the best battery to standardize on...
It's these 18650 batteries, which are rechargeable lithium batteries.
Yeah, the 18650s.
You can now find a lot of devices, including flashlights, that run off the 18650s.
They have a good capacity, good power.
Lots of devices use them.
Whereas the typical CR-123 batteries are not rechargeable, even though a lot of rifle scopes and night vision devices use the CR-123s, you have to have a big supply of those because they're not rechargeable, whereas the 18650s are rechargeable.
But also, make sure you have spare batteries if you use CR2032s for things like rifle scopes.
Make sure you have plenty of those.
These days, a lot of the red dot sites and things like that, they'll run 50,000 hours on a battery.
So, you know, a few spare batteries will go a long way on those.
Number 25, oh, we're halfway through the list.
You're going to need perimeter defense tech and some dogs.
So the best way to do this, from what I've From experience and hearing from people is to have motion sensing lights set up around your property and then have dogs that bark at lights.
This is really a low-tech, low-cost way to do this.
You can get a lot of motion sensing lights and you can mount them on T-posts.
Or you can just put them on poles or whatever.
You know, T-posts are the easiest thing.
So, you know, even Amazon sells these or Home Depot sells a bunch of motion sensing lights.
Anything walks by, the light goes off, and then you have an outside guard dog.
And usually when the lights turn on, I should say, the dogs go.
So now you have a tech slash biological alert system.
It really works.
Or you could spend millions of dollars and go like full military, you know, vibration sensors, thermal cameras with artificial intelligence, object identification, or just have a German Shepherd that barks at lights.
That actually works just as well.
Okay, number 26.
Gear.
You're going to need gear to carry.
Rifle magazines and pistol magazines and so on because you might be attacked.
At your location.
Attacked by, I don't know, zombies, gangs, freaking UN troops.
Who knows?
But you're going to have to have spare magazines.
You're going to have to have a waist, like a battle belt, as we call it.
You can carry AR mags on your waist.
Typically, what I do is I put pistol mags on the waist and I carry the AR mags on the chest rig.
You're also going to need a ballistic vest.
So make sure you get a level 3A ballistic vest.
That's very important so that you can survive getting shot.
And if you want to have immunity to rifle rounds, then you're going to need more like a level 4 plate or some kind of heavier setup.
But you can do your own research on that if you think you're going to take rifle rounds.
Then maybe you just need better thermal vision so you can see, you know, the threat before it gets closer to you.
I don't know.
But make sure you've got ways to protect yourself.
Okay, number 27.
You need a backup stash somewhere that's not your primary location.
You may have to evacuate, so you need a bug-out plan and you need a backup location where you have backups of your key stuff, which means, oh, you've got to buy another thermal vision place.
Night vision.
So I know, I just doubled your budget.
Sadly, this is the hard part.
You can never, like normal people never have enough money to buy all this stuff.
I know.
You can never get enough.
So just do what you can.
But what a lot of people do is maybe they're replacing their current kind of entry-level thermal scope with a newer one, and so they put their entry-level one in their backup stash, You know, like a hand-me-down.
It goes in a backup stash, which has to be at a different location.
So you've got a place to go, and at that place, you've got a backup rifle, backup pistol, magazines, ammo, radios, you know, the whole deal.
It's, as George Carlin used to say, it's a smaller version of your stuff.
That's what it is.
Okay, number 28, topographical maps.
On paper, for your area.
So if you have to get out on foot, you know where you're going.
It also helps to be able to read a map, which is a skill that most people under the age of 30 don't have these days.
So when the power grid goes down, they're going to be totally lost.
And you, with your compass and your boots and your map, you're going to be like God.
You're going to be able to navigate.
And they'll look up to you and worship you.
Oh my God, how did you know where you were going?
Let me introduce you to something called a map and a compass.
And they'll be like, no way, are you a god?
Do you have magical powers?
Like, no, the sun comes up in the east.
They're like, what?
Yeah, I know, it's crazy.
Number 29, signaling equipment.
You're going to need mirrors and whistles and a compass.
You know, I call this kind of navigation and signaling equipment.
But whistles, you know, like an emergency whistle, have on hand.
But mirrors are good for signaling people.
Maybe, you know, you're on the same location, ranch or whatever, and you have an emergency method just in case the radios go down or something.
Compasses are always good.
You can never have too many good ones.
Don't buy the crappy $5 compasses on Amazon.
They barely work.
Okay, number 30, you're going to need a means of silent defense.
This means a way to maybe take out coyotes or zombies without making a lot of noise.
Now, those of you who have weapon systems and you have, like, suppressors, Then you know with a suppressor all you need is subsonic ammo and you can accomplish this.
So that's a good thing to have, a suppressed AR or...
Personally, I like a suppressed.308 better because if you're shooting subsonic ammo, the velocity is so low, you need more mass to make up for it.
So I prefer a suppressed AR-10 style rifle with subsonic heavy ammo that still works in the 7.62x51 casing.
I've known people to have subsonic 300 Win Mag ammo and even subsonic 338 Lapua, which sounds crazy.
But, hey, if you're trying to stay subsonic and you need to throw a lot of mass at something, that's actually not a bad idea.
How about a subsonic.50 Cal?
That would be interesting.
They probably exist.
I don't know.
I don't have any of that.
Or you could just get a crossbow.
I jokingly say you can go full redneck.
Which I have done.
I have a crossbow on order.
It has not arrived, and I can't wait for it.
And it claims to be able to shoot crossbow arrows at 500 feet per second, which is pretty amazing for a crossbow.
But when I get that, I am going to go complete redneck, and I'm going to go buy...
Like a 12-pack of beer and shoot the beer cans with the crossbow while screaming something really redneck-ish.
I haven't decided what that is yet, but if you have suggestions, let me know.
But anyway, you need a means of silent self-defense and maybe dealing with predators and such.
Without making a lot of noise, obviously, because zombies are attracted to noise.
Everybody knows that.
You make noise, the zombies come.
Okay, number 31, reference books.
Hard copy.
You need books for off-grid living, do-it-yourself projects, ranch projects.
How do you build a chair or a table?
How do you plant a garden?
How do you make a root cellar have books on that?
How do you disassemble an AR-15 bolt or bolt carrier group?
Well, I guess on the bolt itself.
Get those little tiny O-rings out of there.
How do you do that?
There's a book on that.
You should have one of those.
Number 32, don't forget paper, pencils, erasers, pencil sharpeners, and envelopes, because depending on how bad the collapse gets, we may be sending mail to each other, again, via Pony Express.
Yeah, we'll see.
It's like that Kevin Costner movie.
What was that called?
The Postman, right?
Will the collapse go that far?
I don't know.
But pencils are cheap.
And if you've ever tried to make pencils, it's really hard to make pencils.
It's better to buy them now because they cost almost nothing.
Okay, number 33, personal care supplies.
Yes, toilet paper.
Hygiene products, you know, eyeglasses.
Get yourself some soap and some deodorant.
Stock up on this stuff.
How long does soap last?
Pretty much forever.
You know, eyeglasses, reading glasses, whatever.
Toilet paper lasts forever.
As long as the mice don't get into it and it doesn't burn.
Lasts forever.
Can you trade toilet paper?
Is that a barter item?
Oh, you bet it is.
Okay, number 34.
Food preservation.
Make sure you've got the equipment for drying, salting, or canning foods.
However you preserve foods, canning is pretty common.
But you've got to have, you know, the lids and the paraffin wax.
And you've got to have the mason jars and the lid rings and all that stuff.
And a way to cook them.
Maybe a big pressurized vessel.
However you do your canning, make sure you're ready.
Number 35, you need an off-grid transportation method.
Something other than just walking.
Yes, I'm talking about bicycles and human-powered vehicles.
My favorite is a quadricycle.
Because you can haul stuff in it.
It's like a bicycle-powered vehicle.
You know, like yabba-dabba-doo.
Fred Flintstone style.
But it works.
Low-tech, man.
Low-tech is the way to go.
Your car may not function.
Your motorcycle may not function.
I don't even know if your electric scooter will function.
But your feet can probably pedal something.
And it might help you get healthier at the same time.
You're not going to be going to the gym.
You won't need to.
Okay.
Number 36.
This might be redundant, but...
With a cooking system, but I also want to mention a heating system.
So think about how you're going to produce heat.
It might be a kerosene-powered space heater, in which case you have to stock up on kerosene, or it might be a little alcohol stove that you make out of one-quart paint cans and some isopropyl alcohol, you know, rolls of toilet paper, whatever.
You need a way to heat your space.
It might be a wood stove.
But don't depend on electric heat, that's for sure.
Or even, you know, propane or natural gas.
Number 37, over-the-counter medicine chest items.
Don't forget the anti-itch cream, because itching is horrible if you can't treat it.
Don't forget the anti-diarrhea medicine for a similar reason.
You may need that and you don't want to run out of that.
Don't forget the over-the-counter painkillers like ibuprofen and so on.
Maybe some acetaminophen.
You can buy some over-the-counter blood tests and urine tests and things like that.
Don't forget the bug spray.
Just think about what is there at the pharmacy that actually is useful?
Because there's useful stuff.
Especially if somebody has an allergic reaction to something one day and you don't have antihistamines.
That can be a life-threatening situation.
Think about that.
Load up on that stuff.
It's dirt cheap right now.
All right, number 38 is a solar-powered battery bank to charge devices, you know, to charge electronics, including your batteries and your flashlights and your mobile devices and things like that.
And I've mentioned a couple of these recently, but you can buy these online.
With solar panels, and then they have internal batteries, and then they have a built-in inverter.
Or you can just do it yourself and piece it all together with just buying separate products, connecting the wires.
But make sure you have a way to turn the sun into electricity.
This is actually decentralization.
They can shut down the power grid, but they can't stop you from harvesting the sun.
And then charging your radios.
And then using them to transmit, you know, intel to your neighbors.
The zombies are at your front gate.
Whatever.
Because you made too much noise.
Number 39, don't forget sources of off-grid electricity generation, such as my favorite, a tractor PTO generator.
Or maybe you have a diesel generator.
Or maybe you have a big bank of solar panels or something like that.
Diesel generators are kind of expensive, but when you need them, they sure do work.
You've got to start them, you know, once a month or so.
You can't let the engines just sit around.
They'll never start again.
Oh, yeah.
Tell me about it.
I'm always starting diesel engines and swapping crappy lead-acid batteries.
All right.
Don't forget, number 40, your spare batteries and your battery chargers.
And I already mentioned the 18650 batteries.
That might be redundant.
41, sewing kits, repair kits, canvas repair, tape, glue, safety pins, clothes pins.
How do you repair stuff?
How do you stitch a new sole on your shoe?
How do you repair a rip in a pair of pants?
We're about to transition from a society where people buy pants that are pre-ripped and To a society where people accidentally rip pants and sew them back together so that they're not ripped.
I mean, think about it.
How crazy is our society right now?
People buy ripped pants because they think that's cool.
Makes it look like they've been working on a ranch.
No.
When you really work on a ranch like I do, you don't want rips.
All over your pants, because that exposes your skin to barbed wire and things like that.
And fire ants and scorpions.
I speak from experience.
So have a way to sew your clothes back together again, even by hand.
And then number 42, make sure you have shoe repair equipment and a pair of rugged shoes.
You're going to need some really long-lasting boots, like leather boots, high-quality boots.
Work boots or hiking boots.
It's going to be hard to find shoes.
I also mentioned before, by the way, a great business is to learn the skill of making boots.
Remember there was like a two-week online course or something or an in-person course in Oregon, how to make boots.
You can learn that skill in two weeks.
That's intense.
You can learn how to make shoes and tennis shoes and High heels, whatever.
Even the transgenders will want footwear in a collapse.
Make sure you can make high heels.
Okay.
Number 43, containers.
Oh, this was one of the mistakes I made before the little Texas collapse that we experienced.
I didn't have enough containers.
You're going to need buckets and barrels and bags, you know, for storing water and things.
You need glass bottles and jars.
You need medicine containers.
Make sure they have the tops on them.
And you're going to need water pouches and trash bags.
And you're going to need also some thicker bags for storing human waste if you don't have a way to crap in the woods.
Yeah, you don't want to, like if you live in a suburb, you've got to figure out what to do with your human waste.
Because the sewers may not function, and they may get all backed up, and you may have to find another option.
And you don't want to do what they do in the military, which is they have a 50-gallon steel drum with an open top, and they throw all the human waste in there in bags, and then they pour diesel over it and set it on fire.
That is not a nice thing to do in a neighborhood, it turns out.
You will get complaints.
All right.
Number 44.
Tools.
You're going to need hand drills and electric tools if you have a way to charge their batteries, which is why you need a solar charger.
You're going to need volt meters.
You're going to need hammers, shovels, rakes, gardening equipment.
It's a good idea to have some extra barbed wire on hand and some T-posts and a T-post hammer, which is like a hammering cylinder for driving T-posts into the ground.
For security defense against zombies, you can set up, you can hammer a bunch of T-posts and then just randomly string barbed wire between them.
That's called tangle wire.
And nothing can move through it.
Just make sure you don't do that where there's deer, because you'll end up killing a bunch of deer that get trapped in it, and that's not nice.
But if you're in zombie territory, it can trap zombies, which is very useful.
You're going to need saws and multi-tools.
Just make sure you're not running out of tools.
Okay, number 45.
This is useful stuff, but it might sound minor, but you're going to need aluminum foil, wax paper, parchment paper, maybe some, what's it called, like saran wrap type of stuff.
You're going to need ways to We're good to go.
You know, unions and such.
And go with PEX and standardize on a couple of sizes, usually half inch and three quarter inch.
Although I use one inch PEX pipes because I like to move a lot more water.
But typically people will use, you know, like half inch and three quarter inch.
And then number 47, don't forget your off-grid activities, your MP3 files of your favorite shows and podcasts and old-time radio shows and whatever.
Maybe books and games and playing cards, because you're going to have to pass the time, because the grid's going to be down, and all your favorite sources of entertainment may not function.
By the way, if you're a fan of Audible, and I listen to Audible books, guess what?
Grid goes down.
You can't listen to Audible unless you've already downloaded them to your devices.
And you got to make sure you can charge those devices.
So whatever audiobooks are on your phone, that's it.
That's all you're ever getting, ever.
And if your phone breaks, you're done for.
I mean, the files are gone.
Because you can't download MP3 files of audible audiobooks, obviously, because they are, you know, protected, intellectual property protected.
But don't forget about the place where you can download audiobooks for free.
LibriVox.
Is it.org or.com?
L-I-B-R-I-V-O-X. LibriVox.
And you can download the classics like Mark Twain.
And you can download science fiction books.
Tons of science fiction books and drama and whatever else.
So you can get all the audiobooks for free, which will help you save money.
So you can buy thermal vision devices to spot zombies.
Okay, and then number 48.
See, we're almost done here.
Number 48, don't forget all the spare parts for anything that you have to keep running, like your generator or your car or appliances.
So think about the things you're going to need, like tire plugs for tires that go flat.
Or on your bicycle, you're going to need rubber patches for inner tubes and so on.
Although...
I recommend bicycles that are tubeless in their tires because they work better, but that's a different conversation.
If you have a generator, remember that generator, if it burns fossil fuels, that generator is going to have an oil filter, and it's going to have engine oil, and it's going to have a fuel filter, and those are three things you have to replace all the time, which is why combustion engines suck, by the way.
But, you know, they have their place.
But make sure you have all the spare parts for that.
You're also going to need probably like an engine air intake filter as well.
I forgot to mention that.
It's a good idea to have gasket repair goo.
You can buy this stuff online.
It's like gasket repair liquid.
You can make your own replacement gaskets.
Like if you're missing an O-ring or something, you can kind of make one.
And gaskets for engine parts and things like that.
It's a good idea to have epoxy resins and glues and bonding agents and all kinds of things because you're not going to be able to run the Home Depot.
So you're going to have to make a mini version of Home Depot at home with all the stuff to glue stuff together.
Okay, number 49, almost there, is fishing gear.
If you have a place where you know there are fish, it's a good food source, high protein, it's even got good healthy oils and so on.
You're going to need a rod and a reel and strings and hooks and floaters and, I don't know, bobs and whatever else, little worms and gadgets.
I'm not a fisherman.
I don't know what all is involved.
But you're going to need all that stuff.
Most importantly, you're going to need security because you're not going to be the only one thinking about, hey, let's go get some fish.
So make sure you have somebody there who can cover your back while you're out fishing for food.
And just remember, in Texas and most of the southern states, there are wild hogs everywhere that are a very plentiful food source.
And you don't need a hunting license, at least not in Texas, because there's so many that the government wants you to kill as many as you can, which...
In an emergency, that's a source of bacon.
All right.
All right, finally, number 50.
We got to the end of this list.
I hope I've hit some things that maybe triggered some reminders for you, some good things to keep in mind.
But number 50 is skills.
It's not stuff, but skills.
And that is, of all the stuff that you have, don't forget to learn how to use it.
You know, you can buy all the paracord and rope and everything, but if you don't know how to tie a couple of useful knots, it's not much use to you.
You can have your night vision equipment, but if you don't know how to turn it on or turn on the infrared light on it or, you know, focus it, you know, then it's not much use to you.
Use the stuff.
Learn the skills.
Learn how to build things, how to prepare things.
Get good with your hands.
Learn how to garden, how to grow food, how to sprout seeds.
It's about the skills as much as the stuff, maybe more.
Your ultimate survival tool is that gray matter in your skull.
All these other things I've mentioned, the first 49 things are just to make your life a little easier, a little more comfortable, and have better protection.
But the ultimate tool that's going to keep you alive is your brain, and that's where your skills are stored.
And that's the most important thing.
All right, now I know about this whole list.
I know there are a thousand things that are not on the list.
You know, it's like, don't forget the canned soup.
You know, I'm not making a grocery shopping list for you here.
You know, people can figure that out.
I was trying to cover the big categories, the big things.
If you cover these 50 things, you're in great shape.
And like I said up front, I imagine most of you have covered, you know, more than half of these things.
Maybe a lot more.
So wherever you have vulnerabilities in your preparedness plans, shore them up.
I'm also going to publish this list in the naturalnews.com article that talks about this podcast.
So you can review the list there or print it, whatever you want to do.
I also want to remind you that I've got a downloadable e-book, or I'm sorry, audio book, called survivalnutrition.com.
And you can download it for free.
Just go to survivalnutrition.com, download the MP3 files, store them on your local thumb drive or hard drive, and you can have those files forever for free.
And also the Global Reset Survival Guide, which covers a lot of this in a lot more detail.
Financial collapse, perimeter security, all kinds of things.
That's at globalreset.news.
And I've got another book coming up soon about resilience and how to overcome obstacles and challenges and also how to go no-tech.
Yeah, there's going to be a lot of focus on not just low-tech, but no-tech.
How do you live with no-tech?
Because it may come to that.
That's swords right there.
Swords and tents, you know?
It's not a convenient life, but it's still survivable.
Alright, so that's my list, folks.
Oh, and if you want to see my videos about preparing, a lot of videos on this, how to make your own emergency fire starters and how to tie knots and things like that, just go to prepwithmike.com and you'll see a link there.
You can click on the video list and I've got more videos coming.
But remember the big story here today.
The big story is that I think we're at a positive turning point.
Or we're beginning to see that.
I think that the evil globalists that are trying to exterminate humanity will be defeated.
But because they're cornered, because they're so desperate, they're going to put us through hell in the meantime.
That chaos and collapse is what we have to make it through.
So that's what this list is about today.
I don't think that society is going to collapse forever because we're going to rebuild it.
It's going to collapse temporarily.
But we have to survive even that.
And when I say temporary, it might be a year.
It might be a couple of years.
I don't know how long it's going to take to get human civilization back on its feet after We stop the genocidal lunatics and demons that are trying to cleanse the planet.
I don't know how long it's going to take.
So this is about surviving so that we can rebuild and then get to the new golden age for humanity on the other side.
And imagine how capable the human survivors are going to be.
Because the people who are remaining on the planet are going to be the most capable Like, everybody's going to be a prepper.
They're going to be the most resilient people possible.
Hands-on people.
People who can get stuff done.
Why?
Because everybody else will be dead.
And most of the people alive will be anti-vaxxers.
So you will no longer be, you know, in the minority.
You'll be among the survivors.
Because everybody who took vaccines and trusted the system and obediently did what they were told, they will be dead.
Or turn into zombies.
Which I guess is synonymous.
So it's going to be a totally different society on the other side of this.
It's worth getting through this.
It's worth it.
It's not going to be doom and gloom forever.
Just for a temporary period of time.
Personally, I want to see what's on the other side of this.
So I'm willing to go through all of this hell they're unleashing upon us.
I'm willing to go through the tribulation.
Because I want to see...
God's return.
I want to see the intervention.
I want to be here when a giant booming voice appears in the sky or whatever form it takes.
And in one word, God strikes down all those who serve Satan.
I want to watch that happen.
I don't know about you, but through all of human history, to be alive right now and to be here in this moment, to be able to watch all of this going down, This is like a first class ticket.
These are like VIP front row seat tickets to history in the making.
That's why it's worth surviving.
I want to be here.
I want to see this happen.
So any day that it gets tough for you, you're like, oh my gosh, I have to wash clothes by hand.
I didn't even cover that on the list.
You need a wash basin and a washboard, obviously.
But every day you're washing clothes by hand and you're moaning about, this is too much work.
Because I'll do the same thing.
Remember, you're here because what we're going to see on the other side of this is worth every minute of effort and patience.
It's going to be epic and beyond epic.
It's going to be beyond biblical.
I mean, it's going to be cosmic.
That's the right word.
It's going to be cosmic.
And all you've got to do is earn the right to still be here.
So whatever it takes, you know, effort, money, some sacrificing of luxury, whatever, it's worth it.
It's because you're about to see something that no other living being on this planet has ever witnessed.
Okay?
We all are.
Those of us who are still alive.
And it's one for the ages.
That's for certain.
You know, if you have to shoot a bunch of zombies who are attacking your cabin in the woods or whatever just to earn the right to survive, then, you know, so be it.
Small price to pay.
For being part of the rebuilding of human civilization in the image of God.
Alright, so there you go.
So thanks for listening.
That's it.
That's it for today.
I hope that was a worthwhile listen.
I know I didn't cover a lot of news headlines, but we covered other important stuff anyway.
