Top five things to be considered before The world goes to crap before the shtf Before whatever should go wrong in the World that requires you to be a lot more Self-sufficient [Music] I compiled this into five things I Thought about it really hard and it Wasn't really that difficult to narrow It down into five the five most Important things that I think That I want to have ready for myself and My family the my friends and it just so Happens they all start with f and I Thought that would make it really really Easy to remember so number one Is fresh water do you have a source of Fresh water fresh clean drinking water Where I live I'm very very fortunate There is a creek you might even be able To hear it in the background a creek Flowing through the property that I Could draw water from boil it filter it Whatever I need to to have fresh clean Water to drink I've also got a pond I've Got a an opportunity to catch rain water Off of my roof I have my own personal Well that I can pull water from I've got A hand pump so if the power should be Out I can still get fresh water into the House into the the pressure tank so I Can flush toilets wash dishes do all the Stuff that that is required of normal Everyday life if you consider indoor
Plumbing normal everyday life which I do Um because as we all know life is going To be pretty short for you if you can't Find a fresh drink of water for all of You that live in the city for all of you That live in the the congested Neighborhoods that that are reliant upon City water flowing through the pipes Into your house what happens if that Suddenly stops flowing or if it is Contaminated for some reason I've Recently saw a report somewhere don't Quote me but maybe Dallas or something Like that where they sent out a um a Warning a recommendation to boil all the Water coming into your house because it Was contaminated by by some Source who Knows what but Um do you have a plan for that can you Take care of these things the basic Needs water that's number one number two Is food do you have a supply of food at Your house does it last longer it was What in your fridge is what is in your Your pantry is it going to last you Longer than a day or two is it going to Spoil without proper Refrigeration all These things need to be considered I Recommend that you have a minimum of a Month supply of food that doesn't have To be refrigerated are you able to add Water to it to heat it up to open the Can to have yourself something to eat do You have food a minimum I think is a
Good goal for everybody it is not Impossible for most people to get is is Food A one month supply of food good quality Foods is also important don't make it Just a bunch of trash food that you Can't actually eat don't just get rice And beans and expect that to work for a Month make sure you have a variety of Foods typically think the things that You are already normally eat would be Great uh when you go to the store and You buy whatever a can of something or Other that you're going to plan on Actually eating anyway just buy two of Them and put one aside if your own Personal shtf situation should happen do You have the means to still continue to Provide for yourself and your family If my leg is broken and I can't work That's gonna be difficult for me to make Money so having that food insurance Policy right there in the basement Pantry or whatever is going to be really Really helpful and it's going to take a Huge load off of you uh not just Physically but emotionally as well I Know for a fact that I can I can Function somewhat normally for about a Week without any food at all in my body I know for a fact because I've done it That about after about two weeks uh my Body starts to shut down and I become so Lethargic that just typical daily tasks
And routines that would be so simple for You you wouldn't have to think about it Now after two weeks of being deprived of Nutrition Becomes next to Impossible and then After that it's just a very very sad Thing and I refuse I refuse to see my Wife and kids go through a situation Like that so I will do everything that I Can to ensure that that never happens Everything that I can to make sure that Doesn't happen to my family The third f is going to be Fitness Number three is Fitness and I don't just Mean Fitness as in you know how many Push-ups can you do and how fast can you Run a mile that's not what I'm talking About I mean just overall General Fitness Wellness I have you been putting off that root Canal have you Um had this this pain in your back that You refuse to go to the doctor for I Recently hurt myself practicing Jiu Jitsu uh a big oaf of a man squished me And I'm and I'm struggling and I've put Off going to the doctor about it but I'm Not going to anymore I'm going to make The appointment and go see the Chiropractor probably and see if I can Get that fixed and taken care of so I Can continue doing the things that not Only I I need to do but the things that I just enjoy doing and if you know the
Shtf situation happens I can't be Physically down in in Um disabled to the point where I can't Do what has to be done So so so Fitness are you eating healthy Foods are you uh putting the things in Your body they're gonna that are gonna Allow you to be uh as as healthy and as As fit as you can possibly be so that You can be a good provider and protector For your family are you engaged in Regular physical activity are you Exercising on a regular basis so your Muscles your bones everything is strong And you can tolerate the physical Demands that that might be placed upon You in a tough situation Figure that out fix that right this Freaking second stop delaying and stop Making excuses do something about it Stop eating the crap food that you're Putting into your body every single day Stop it right this second and make a Positive change because people are going To be relying upon you they're gonna be Relying upon you the person watching This right now you they're gonna be Relying upon you to take care of them And if you can't take care of yourself Because you're in piss-poor shape that Is going to be sad and there's no excuse For that so fix it now fix it number Four Faith number four is Faith I Believe I am a Christian man I believe
Uh I believe in God I believe in Jesus As my savior and And because I have a strong belief When I say strong it wavers from time to Time I I I my faith is not as strong as I'd like it to be so it's something that I'm really working on That's definitely a weakness of mine and I want to make it better I want to make It stronger so I'm working towards that But I I have a strong belief in in a Higher power that that is that oversees What's happening in my life and Genuinely cares about what happens to me And in my life and wants me to make the Right decisions the good decisions and I'm actively trying to trust that in That faith and and and listen to that Small voice inside my head that tells me To take a left take a right do this Don't do that and if I listen to those Things believe it or not as crazy as This sounds if I listen to God and I Listen to those voices in my head good Things happen My life goes better though everything Becomes more in Balance when I when I Listen to that voice in my head so I You know I I'm not criticizing anyone I'm not telling everybody that they have To believe what I believe or you don't Have to become a Christian I think it's The right thing to do I think it's the Smart thing to do and I want to
Encourage you to at least investigate it But I think having a faith in something Bigger than yourself bigger than bigger Than the government Um Having a faith in something that that Controls and genuinely cares about what Happens to me Um is a big big deal and it gives me Confidence it gives me courage it gives Me Gives me the ability to do things that Otherwise I would never even attempt to Do it gives me that that will it gives Me that courage to take on challenges Take on risks that otherwise would scare Me they would coax me into just doing Nothing into nothingness as opposed to Being an outgoing vibrant person that That engages in the community and with People around me Um so Faith that's that's a big big deal Five five is friends Um are you actively engaged in people in Your community are you uh having Get-togethers at your home are you going To potlucks and things of that nature Are you uh having Um a family and friends over for the Holidays or are you this introvert that Lives in your cave with stockpiles of Ammo and food you know what Without friends without people that you
Can count on when needed it is going to Be tough for you I think when that real Problems occur in this world real Problems you know stuff that you hear About overseas that you think oh man It'll never happen here you know if that Stuff actually happens here I pray that It never does but if it does you're Going to be heavily Reliant upon the People in your community and that's not The people on your Facebook friends or Your your Instagram followers those People aren't really real They're real people obviously and I have And I have developed actual real Relationships with real quality people Because of those things but majority the Vast majority of the friends and Followers that you have on Facebook they Don't really care about you if you were To get sick tomorrow they're not going To call you up and see if they could Bring you a bowl of soup they just don't Care Um they want to know you know what next Pretty picture you're gonna post and More likely they're only engaging in you So that you will reciprocate that Engagement and give them more thumbs up Or likes that's that's the sad cold Truth of of the social media world that We live in and that I am an active part Participant in Um it's a weird thing I know uh but
Anyway I'm trying to work that out as Well but do you have real friends people That you can literally go see right Right now if they call you will you show Up if you call them well they show up if You call them and say hey I need you I Need your help right now will that Friend show that's a real friend do you Have those people in your life I do because I have I have I've invested My time into them I have invested and I've shared personal things with them And I've and I've and I've I've given Myself freely to them Um and that's not to get anything in Return although that's a that's a very Big huge benefit of that it's that's not Why I'm doing it the purpose behind that Is because the more that you give the More that you will receive it feels good It it makes you feel like a more Complete man when you are able to freely Give to the people around you Are you doing that are you actively Engaged with the people around you to Build a network a community of real Friends people that you can count on and That's hard to do that's a lot easier Said than done is to develop develop a Network of trustworthy real friends but The only way you can do that is by by Actually engaging with them not just you Know go out to eat from time to time That's not real but but engaging in
Activities and doing things helping People helping them if they need help in Their Garden if they if their roof has a Leak go help them patch it you know Figure it out don't make excuses of why You can't do it or I'm too busy or Anything like that give up something in Your life give up watching the football Game give up Something that's important to you And and give it freely to somebody else And that was what will create solid Relationships those in people that you Can trust and count on Um they'll be much more likely to Reciprocate that that phone call in the Middle of the night If uh if you're willing to do it Yourself so anyway I hope this has been Helpful guys listen I really want to Encourage you guys to be prepared Because being prepared makes you a much More confident capable Um individual Um and and the only reason I'm sharing Some of this stuff with you is because I Genuinely want that for you I want I Think I think the more capable the more Prepared you are and the people that in Your small circle are the less chaotic The less crazy the world will become When that shdf or whatever zombie Apocalypse actually does occur you know And again I pray and that every day that
It doesn't Um I hope we go on our merry way eating Eating good foods and Uh watching movies and all the fun Things and that we that we take for Granted right now but Um Honestly the truth is that one day it Will happen one day that shtf situation Will happen whether it's a major Worldwide catastrophic event National Event or just a very localized tornado Comes through your area or you know or That very personal shtf happens you get In a car crash and and suddenly you're Paralyzed from the waist down Who can you count on do you have the Things in need that you need to Um take care of the ones around you that Your loved ones and take care of Yourself when that should happen I don't Know so The five F's fresh water Fitness Faith Friends and food if you don't if you're Lacking in any of those areas stop what You're doing right now and make a plan To fix that and actually execute that Plan thanks for watching guys thumbs up Subscribe if you haven't done so already And we'll see you on the next one [Music]
