Dare to Prepare

Prioritizing toilet paper above all else is the oddest take on prepping I have ever seen.

Learn to wash the bits of your body that need it with water - and potentially soap. He didn't even include soap by the way.

All that effort into collecting up things that burn and no mention of extinguishers or fire-blankets. I mean what could possibly go wrong?

He isn't wrong, the video is pretty good, but it is oddly polarized. Maybe the worst disaster he ever faced was a lengthy power cut?

Not a total disaster, but certainly unbalanced. Socks was an odd thing to see on the list, but his reasoning is sound. I have many socks for this reason (all wool).

I take these things as "Best things for camping or small energy/natural incidents". And not even that, because there are no useful meds (natural or not, thats another topic) and many other things. What if they get cut, an infection, etc?

The best way of prepping for what is coming is being self sufficient and knowledgeable. The rest is complimentary, specially stocking up stuff, and specially toilet paper. Preppers who priorise toilet paper are just jerking their ego trying to feel smart. Good luck eating it.

One prep we have is an edible plants identifier book for the area we live - which is somewhat remote wooded mountain valley land.

Unfortunately gardening where we live is less successful than we hoped - steep valley and high moisture lead to major fungus issues for many fruits and vegetables and less sun-hours. But large amounts of various edible plants grow here.

I bought one Duracell lantern at Costco today. It has an internal rechargeable battery, 4 D size battery slots, a rechargeable port, a reverse charging port for a cell phone, three light levels & one red distress light mode, short USB cable, and a solar panel on top. It was $23 USD and a helpful addition to your survival gear or for camping.
