Guys, there are Preppers, we tend to buy a series of things to be more prepared in case we have some kind of emergency, it doesn't have to be a zombie apocalypse or a dystopian future, you know, it can just be an everyday situation, a cut of energy. We know different things happen in bad weather, we may be traveling. There are a number of things we try to put together and have stored for a rainy day. Today we're going to take a look at 25

items

that I want to recommend you stock up on because in a minor situation these will be invaluable today it's like ah, whatever I mean, this it's something I use man if you run out of it it's going to be vital so let's go over 25 items you need to stock up on that are

cheap

but will be worth their weight in gold in a grid situation alright guys the number one on the list and this is one that What I've been doing for a long time is Bic lighters and you can get them in these five packs which makes it very easy.

They're right there on the grocery counter, so they're super easy to pick up. I'm a big fan of Bex's they just seem to work more than others so I like to have redundancy and we have them in different places in our junk drawers. I have them in my EDC packs. This is just one of those first items that are simple and the easiest to use. It is the most convenient. I would recommend having other sources because the Bic lighter can go out, that little wheel can corrode or you can run out of fuel, so having multiple makes it really smart and easy to do.

You always have fire at your fingertips. or your thumb, so fire is one of the most important elements we have in nature and it is important for survival, so make sure you have plenty of lighters. Next we have toilet paper and we have seen what happened when Covid first appeared. Toilet paper has been flying off the shelves here lately, whatever happens, people just run, grab the toilet paper. One thing it's bulky, it's big, but guys, there's no really good substitute for toilet paper. There is one and we'll get to it in a minute but this is the best option so go ahead and get your toilet paper and stock it up that's the key and guys it's not very expensive again it's bulky but it's one of those things that is the best thing there is to stay clean and The best option to stay clean is wet wipes and you can get the small packets.

I like to keep them in my bags. My go-to bag. My bag to go out. These are invaluable. They keep them clean. survival and whether it's a natural disaster or whatever you find yourself in, you want to get clean, you want to stay clean, so this is a great way to do it. You can use it like toilet paper, but you can use it for a lot of other things and there are a lot of properties with wipes that are antimicrobial, they will help you stay disinfected and, guys, that's really one of the big problems in a crisis situation is that people can get sick because they are just dirty and end up Putting their hands in the food in their mouth, this would just help them stay clean and you don't need to have water, you can use it just like the zip ties are, the zip ties have billions of uses and guys, it just helps keep things going. sure if you're trying to repair something if you want to put up a tarp there's a lot of things you can do with zip ties they come in various colors they come in various sizes and different thicknesses so this is something that's one of those can have so many uses.

Zip ties are one of those things I like to have on hand. You can buy them in bulk packs, which I highly recommend, but if you buy them in smaller packs, you can simply Add this up, zip ties are useful for a lot of things, so zip ties are a big plus. Now I like my coffee and I like it freshly ground, but if I'm in a pinch and I can heat up some water and add some instant coffee, it's wonderful if you can't have any coffee, so I keep little packets of instant coffee and tea bags and this is really one of those things that gives you that little boost when you need it and it has caffeine so it keeps you active and even if the power is out I can heat up some water on the fire and I can make my coffee or my tea.

Socks are the number one requested item at homeless shelters and also thrift stores. Things like that, socks are rarely donated because you usually wear them out and throw them away, so having a lot of x extra socks again is just one of those things that you might really need and guys, now you have to protect your feet. I know these types of socks aren't necessarily the type you want to wear with beer mugs, but you know if you have good socks you're going to need summer socks, but you can also stock up on winter socks. Band-Aids, one of the things that I really like to have around, I mean, it makes it very easy if you have a minor cut or even a little aggressive cut, usually with band-aids you can treat it, you can cover it, it keeps it clean and keeps it from getting infected .

Here we even have some Neosporin that goes on the band-aid, but that's just one of the things they offer. There are a lot of different options, a lot of different sizes. Now these are a little bigger, so you know, I like having them better. capacity but the smaller ones are great too and of course you only have a few but guys there are a ton of different options with band aids and they are pretty reasonable when you go for a small pack so it's one of those things that can stock up and you can have them when you need them and you will need them and guys, with that antibiotic ointment or Neosporin.

I mean it's great to be able to protect those wounds because again you have to be able to keep the infection down and this is a great way to protect against that so your band aids are great but this really helps keep you healthy and can also be used as fire starter bar soap. For me, bar soap is one of the best for Many people use liquid soap, but I like bar soap. I subscribed to Dr. Squatch. I love it. I started with it thanks to the amazing commercials for it, but this is an all natural soap and it really is an excellent soap.

It's not a commercial for them. I am not sponsored by Dr. Squatch, but I get a lot of this soap and love keeping it stocked up. Of course, you know you have your standard Ivory soap or different types of soaps, but one of the good things about soap itself is that it keeps you clean and, guys, in a bad situation, when you just want to clean, there is no substitute, so this gives you the ability to stay clean, it's a bit of a morale booster, but guys. Again, keeping clean is very important in a minor situation, boot laces or shoe laces and there are several different types.

I mean, they have the laced type that you find on a lot of boots, but they also have leather laces and there are a lot of them. of different lengths and sizes, one thing you can use is paracord. Paracord works for a lot of boot laces, so that works too, but if you have boot laces in the right lengths now, especially with leather, you can cut and trim it however you want, so I would. Buy the longest size and you can always lace up the rest, so having boot laces is something I honestly don't think about much.

I consider my paracord to be a substitute, but if you have standard boot laces it will just hold. cleans up really well so boot laces are cheap great for stocking up on bomb bleach obviously this is Clorox but any bleach that is unscented one of the things about bleach is it keeps the area clean , you can clean things, it will kill the germs, but you can also treat them. Water and water could be one of those important things if we have some kind of disruption where bleach is going to be vital and you know bleach does a lot of things but definitely for cleaning purposes and again it's unscented and you can get them in different sizes, but stocking up on bleach is very economical and it's one of those things that's just basic and when it comes to batteries, I mean, that's self-explanatory, we can always use batteries, of course, the CR123 ones from Doble A the Triple A's are good for having nine volts great there are so many uses for these and then I always stuck with the 2032 batteries and these are for most of your optics and a lot of other things and the rechargeable batteries work great but they have a 10 year lifespan so it's a great way to be able to store them for a long period of time and the batteries aren't cheap but if you buy small packs they're pretty reasonable and then as you continue to buy them you know you can add up a good inventory. of batteries and one thing I use is what they call the Daddy battery and it fits a bunch of batteries in there, it has a charger.

I reviewed it and it's a great way to store batteries, so there are options. being able to store batteries and just rotate them and that's one of the most important things you want to do. Hand sanitizer again works like soap in a sense it keeps your hands clean during 2020 this became almost impossible to get and so having some hand sanitizer is just smart and you know you can buy it in a container Much smaller, so it's very reasonable to just pick it up. We keep a few of these and then we have the smaller ones as well, so not necessarily just 6 thick. but also to keep your hands clean and this is a great way to do it and you don't have to use extra water with soap, you have to add water to it if water is scarce, this will be an even better option. now this is all under one item you guys have your toothbrushes guys just put some toothbrushes back what we do is we keep a lot of toothbrushes in front because again there is no substitute for a good toothbrush of teeth, we also keep our dental floss sticks and this way they know if we need to take something out of our teeth but oral care is going to be very important because it affects your body a lot when you don't take care of your teeth with old toothbrushes you can use them to being able to clean things and scrub. items, so we always save old toothbrushes to do that, of course, a no-brainer is duct tape.

Personally, I like Gorilla Tape, there is 100 mile per hour tape that is for military use, this material has a thousand uses and the adhesive tape can make repairs. You can use it to tape things together. I mean, it gives you a lot of different options, so having to use duct tape is pretty reasonable and easy to stock up on. You want to make sure you keep it in a good environment so that it doesn't go bad. you lose this core and it starts to degrade and warp, so keep it away from heat, keep it in a room temperature place, you know it has less sunlight and this will last a long time, but with duct tape, I mean we all know the advantages. so make sure you stock up on more than just a roll of Ziploc bags, very reasonable, easy to use, tons of uses, things sealed in them and it seals here now, this is just the sandwich size, there are some sturdier bags, but I mean the kids there.

There are 280 bags here, which gives you a lot, so you don't necessarily have to store a ton of these bags, but it gives you something that really with this press and seal makes it very easy to be able to put things away and organize them. things keep them out of the elements, you can protect your phone, you can do a lot of things with Ziploc bags, so this is definitely one of those things that you have to have on hand and a lot of times with these types of things. We have them on hand, but we have a limited supply, so the things that you are going to use regularly go ahead, skip and invest in having a few extra things and they could really come in handy on a rainy day.

Kleenex, one of the things about getting sick if you use paper towels or even toilet paper. Kleenex are made to be able to keep your nose clean, but they are also gentle enough that you don't rub them raw, so Kleenex is one of those things that can be used as a toilet. paper if you had to have it, but I really like having Kleenex on hand, especially in the winter, so having some Kleenex on the side is just one of those things that, while it's not mandatory and there are other things you can use, This will help you keep your nose from just getting raw and because your diet may be down and you're not really eating as well as you should, you should know that your immune system may be down a little bit, so you could get sick more easily, so Kleenex is a great idea.

We just made a video. As for salt, guys, you can't live without salt, we have to have it and you know, iodine is also one of those things that we really have to have in our diet. Now the only thing about iodine salt is that the shelf life is only five. years with standard salt, salttable without iodine, its shelf life is indefinite, so you know it's one of those 22, but having salt, whether it's sea salt, table salt, or even some of the special salts like Himalayan pink salt, gives you that amount. Salt needed, you can put salt on your steps if the conditions are bad and of course you know it adds flavor to your food, brings out the flavor, but again, this is an essential mineral that you have to have and a lot of times when we talk. about low salt doctors and health or the low salt type low salt you still have to have salt we talk about wet wipes we talk about Clorox or bleach this is something that we found that makes it very easy to clean and so with The Clorox wipes are one of those things that we have on hand all the time and that's part of these 25 items that are used regularly and to me, this is a more convenient way to keep things clean and we use them.

These bathroom kitchen floors have spills on the floor and they just keep it clean so I love Clorox wipes they are great but of course they are other brands. There are 75 wet wipes here and they kill 99.9 percent of viruses and bacteria. It's a great thing to stock up on heavy Mill trash bags and I mean commercial industrial trash bags construction site trash bags these things are the Beast and they are very heavy. Made to hold different types of harder objects without breaking, which is why I usually buy them at Lowe's Home Depot. We made a video about the multiple uses of this type of bags.

A few years ago, there was a survival expert who was asked if he only had one article. It would? And he said: a heavy garbage bag from Mill. You can use this as shelter. You can collect water. You can collect items. You can transport things. I mean, there are so many things and you can get rid of the trash or whatever is so heavy. Metal garbage bags that go in every package I own and my entire family's, so this is an item I consider vital, so we buy it in large rolls. It comes in large rolls so this is a great way to have them.

Garbage bags aside, we don't use them every day, we use them for larger items, but man they really come in handy. Feminine hygiene products, products, whatever you use, ladies, I mean, that's something you don't want. without men you don't want your ladies to be without it so whatever you do make sure you stock up and some people may use them as some type of bandage but you know that's a limited use for that but it's definitely something that could be helpful, but have feminine hygiene products to stock up on, get them back guys, while this isn't a necessity, sweets are something that helps lift your spirits when it comes to chocolate in particular.

I mean, there are a lot of things that create a dopamine effect. which helps you calm down and you know having a little bit of something to try in a stressful situation makes it really nice, it's just a nice break and of course chocolate is one thing but there are different hard candies too. whatever you want, just get some stock back, it's not something I would overbuy, but it's definitely something you should have on hand because if you need it, I mean, there are some people. I'm not a big chocolate fan, but there are some. people who just can't live without chocolate and chocolate has a lot of benefits, but again, also different types of sweets, something just to give them a break. water maybe it's cold and your lips are chapped a ChapStick is just one of those things that are cheap and easy to stock up on whether you go with just the basic lipstick or even some of the lip balms and of course there are many others options.

The thing about chapstick also is that it is flammable and you can use it as a fire starter, so having the chapstick in your backpack can also prevent your hands from getting cracked and you even know your face, so the chapstick is definitely a big plus now. big one is propane bottles, these are one pound propane cans, I mean they are used for camping, hiking, doing different things, Coleman lanterns, different stoves, I have a Mr Heater Buddy, these go in there, they cost about five or six dollars each, of course. You can also get the larger containers, but stocking up on these takes years, so there are many different uses, especially in a tight situation, so they're great to have.

I like to keep them back so if we ever need something, we've got it here, I mean this can give you heat, it can give you light and it can power different things and again, it's one of the most stable fuel sources that you can come back to. to place and that's one of the big pluses even for security and guys it's a plus this is something I made a video about preserving liquor for

shtf

and there's a lot of reasons why it's definitely great for the community, It's great for socializing and two people who really drink a lot are really going to want it. liquors and stuff, of course, there's a lot of different kinds, of course, this is Crown, but these little mini bottles are pretty inexpensive, they're easy to store and it's just one of those things for medicinal purposes, man, if you've got a really tough life . cough, you add a little honey to it, you know it will help, so reserve some liquor, even if you don't drink, there are many purposes and uses for liquor, so, if you have some items that you like, comment to continuation.

You really think they're pretty cheap but you can stock up and they're cheap now but in a bad situation they'll be worth their weight in gold, so write that in the comments and guys, these are easy to buy now. It's simple, you know I do it every day. I pick up a pack of matches or lighters or maybe some Kleenex or different things that you know I'm going to use and then I have them stored and again, when something happens, I'm ready to be strong, have good courage, God bless America, long live the republic, so the zip ties are a big plus, a big plus, but it will be worth it, okay, now we talk about what. so the boot laces are a big plus, no, I'm not saying a big plus
