I used to think people who did this stuff were crazy, now I'm watching this channel for tips!

In  civil war nobody is playing by the rules.

3 minutes for oxygen, 3days for water and 3 weeks for food. So water is your first priority not food.

Great video, it inspired me to do the same so I went to Sainsbury’s with my £1,000 budget and managed to get a 4 pack of beans & some discounted potatoes.

Keeping an eye on neighbours and building a community is always good.

Never tell people on the internet what you have in your home/you be the first one who get robbed

People laughed at our group because we started a English self defence militia group in our area now they asking to join

It has been said, "Society is just 5 dinners away from total chaos", very, very good advice.

Ex-military, ex-emergency services for 30 years, served in arctic conditions and blazing desert, and deployed to the civil war in Yugoslavia.......One of the greatest things you can invest in right now, that you can also start with no budget at all is " Training personal skills "

The very first thing is start to do some physical training.....I am not talking about combat training unless that is your thing, I am talking about simply upping your physical output more than you do now. If you are a gym bunny, good, keep going.....if you have never done anything before, don't worry, start easy and the hardest part is just getting over that first little bit of doubt and confidence.  An exceptional exercise to do at every fitness level is just get out and do some walking at a comfortable speed and distance at first, then increase the speed and miles and vary the terrain ( rough roads and hills ) and carry some weight in a decent fitting rucksack.....you will be amazed how much this improves your physical and mental well being in a short time.

Fitness is very important in a survival or stressful situation. Your body will deal with hardship and injuries easier, your metabolism is more efficient, you can fight infections and illness better and your mental health is more resilient......just do your best. 1 single press-up is more than not doing any press-ups

The second/first most important skill is get yourself some form of medical training. A simple online course, First Aider at Work, Emergency First Aid, free courses at the sports centre, CPR and choking course.....going onto more advanced courses that takes study and a budget like First Responder Emergency Care/First Person on Scene( FREC/FPOS), Medicine in Remote Area ( MIRA) Outdoor First Aid.........These skills are worth their weight in gold and more ( especially if you have kids ) and will always be useful in everyday life and really could mean the difference between life and death.

A huge subject that you can tailor to your needs.....basic mechanics course, basic woodworking, basic electricians, etc etc

We're not allowed to defend ourselves, in times of relative peace... (which is disappearing fast) -  but when SHTF that will go out of the window. The criminals will NOT respect the law or your persons. You MUST have a way to defend yourself and your family.

Don't forget honey, never goes off and can be used to dress minor wounds and burns to stop infection.

I live in the Scottish Highlands, regularly get power cuts in winter and during bad weather. I was totally electric including a pump for my oil heating. So, decided to get a solid fuel range cooker and also upgraded my wood burning stove in my living room for larger heat output. The range cooker is made by Thornnhill ( looks like an aga, aga don't make solid fuel ones anymore but you can get second hand ones). The Thornhill is amazing, burns only wood but very efficiently  has 3 ovens and kicks out the heat. So when I have power cuts, I can heat the house, cook food and heat water plus stay warm. Just brought back to life an old honda petrol generator to use as well and building up my tools and equipment in case things get a little 'difficult ' in the future.

I have prepper friends in the US, they are dying of old age and spent decades prepping for something that never happened. It gave them comfort. I wish that as an outcome for everyone, prepper or not. :)

I told my wife 18yrs ago that this country was done for now she listens to everything I tell her, now she understands why I'm prepping with what I'm doing

I cannot imagine how much more difficult it is in the UK to prep vs where I am in the US.

I have a question. If the country has gone unlawless and civil war is breaking out, WHO is going to care about regulations and laws that prevent you from defending yourself???

While not suitable for everyone, I can't stress enough that in areas that are less  savory, having a dog alone can be a great means of defence/deterrant. I had an American Bulldog for years, he was loud, sounded and looked vicious but wouldn't harm a fly. In the first 6 months of us having him, he prevented two separate break-ins, one we didn't even realise until we all got up the following morning.

We had a side gate added to the house obviously to prevent him from getting out,  so it wasn't big and you could see through the slats. I came down and noticed the gate was flapping in the wind and questioned my parents. At around 1:30 that morning, the dog had suddenly gone screaming out the patio doors into the garden barking like mad. This was the height of summer, it was really hot so my parents stayed up in the cooler hours. I'd already gone to bed.

The only thing we could attribute it to was someone trying their luck. We've been burgled before, so, it happens. Yeah, a dog is more work and food, but I think they pull their weight.

I had an Ecoflow Delta Pro and it caught on fire, totally burnt out the living room, kitchen was a mess, think very carefully when you buy a lithium battery and what happens if it ignites. Best of it is that I'm still paying off the loan I took out to buy the thing! Thank God no one was hurt.

A couple of years ago, my village was without electricity for 4 days, and the next village over was without water for 6 days.  I was slightly prepared with a generator and 2 log burners, but almost all neighbours had nothing.  Since then, I bored a 6m hand-pumped water hole for flushing the toilet (and watering the veg plot).
And I’m 30 miles outside London - not on some remote island…
