welcome to this episode on how to prepare for imminent war now if you haven't watched part
one or part two i want you to go back and watch those first it's very important not
that each thing i say falls exactly in sequential importance or anything but because the very first
things we mention in the first episode are going to give you a foundation before you start doing
any of the specific physical things that we're going to cover like in today's episode
anyway we've got some good strategies for you i hope you won't go away stay with us
today i want to give you just a couple of very simple but strategic things you can actually do
in the event that war is imminent now at the time of the filming of this video it's kind of pressing
in on all of us and we're all praying around the world for the people who are in the Ukraine
who are suffering right now as war is imminent in their area and because they are experiencing
it we're all kind of feeling their pain and we're watching them closely to see what they're going
through so what I'm sharing with you today are a couple of things based on what I've seen them
already dealing with right as the beginning of this is starting to unfold all right the first
thing i want to give you to do in the event of you finding out that war might be very imminent
to your area wherever you find yourself is this i talked to my dad on the phone the other day and
he said go buy a gas can if you have noticed the news stories right now you're going to
see long lines of people standing for hours waiting to get to some of the one or two gas
stations that even have gas available to them and they're using any kind of bottle or gallon jug or
refuse that might hold something in it and they're bringing that in the line to fill
up with every drop that is allowed to them once they get up to finally get a little bit of gas
so i want to encourage you right now on the front end get a gas can if you can afford a couple get a
couple of extra ones and in the event that you know war is truly imminent right at your door
you're going to want to make sure you fill those up before everything shuts down and once
you get those filled up with gas i want you to put stabilizer in them so that they can hold for maybe
up to a year or even two years without any problem okay it's important that you have that on hand
if you can afford maybe five gas cans or ten it's okay to have a few extra and put them
empty in your garage or wherever you have a place for them right now so that when the time is needed
you can either hand them to a friend who might need one or go and fill them up yourself if work
comes your way now while we're talking about gas i want to mention something else i want to i want
to mention fuel sources in general if you remember the very first episode of of prep stutters that we
ever did several years ago it was the first thing i recommend that you do to become a prepsteader if
you hadn't already i was encouraging you to go out and buy a kerosene oil lamp and get it filled with
oil learn how the wick works learn how to use it practice a bit with it if you haven't done
anything else it's important that you also have a fuel source for light and heat in your home and so
one of the first ways to do that is make sure that you have an oil lamp filled with with kerosene
and there's a kind that is clean burning that that is not um hard on you to breathe the air inside
if you use that kerosene indoors and that's the kind you want to get to fill it up
okay continuing on that process of talking about fuel sources though i want you to let
your mind go okay so we talked about gas we talked about perhaps a kerosene oil lamp but what are
other fuel sources that you might need that you can go ahead and identify right now and list them
down because you'll not think of them in a crisis you'll be so stressed out you'll forget hey that
was a fuel source i could have taken advantage of go ahead and identify those right now and if
it's in your power to do so go ahead and stock up a little extra or a lot extra depending on
what your situation is what your resources or lack thereof are and how close war seems to be
to your area so I'm thinking of gas if you if you run on propane you need to get some of that extra
if you are going to cook with wood which is strongly what i recommend i don't want any of
you to have a house that doesn't have a fireplace that you can cook in but if you don't have that
if you're in an apartment or something like that i want you to get yourself a little rocket stove
that can run also on on any number of things but specifically I'm talking about wood right now if
you have a barbecue outside that you can that you can light a fire in whatever think about what your
situation is and prepare with the fuel sources that would be needed for that so I'm talking about
gasoline kerosene propane I'm talking about wood I'm talking about the things that are going to fit
your specific situation if you were to need to stay right there in your home not travel
right now we're talking about if you needed to stay right where you are
if you've listened to Selco like i mentioned in one of our previous episodes talk about the Balkan
war he said i think he was mentioning that by the end of that year that they were without supplies
they had used up every single door in the house and the cabinet doors and every source of wood
that could be burned was used up so i want you to identify those for so many different reasons
but one of the main ones would also include not just heat and food preparation but sanitization
you've got to have a fire or something that can sanitize things around the house
all right so we've talked about fuel sources i hope I've got your wheels spinning
and i hope you run and take some notes and see what you need to have for your plan on that
okay next if war was imminent right now where you are i would want to encourage you to do this
and I'll give you the reasons why i want you to go and find every container you can around your house
now that sounds silly sounds inconsequential it's an imperative importance right now
just like we mentioned in that first point about getting fuel and how they're carrying every kind
of water bottle and plastic thing and anything that will carry liquid they're trying to round up
and get over there to the gas stations to fill up with thinking along those same lines i want
you to go around your house right now you would be amazed at how many things you've got
that you could fill with something instead of just being a void you know you've got you've got a
probably a cabinet full of some cups and jars and old plastic oh cottage cheese containers or
oh my old Tupperware or whatever you've got i don't care if it all has lids that
fit perfectly or whatever but find every single thing that you've got around you old water bottles
are great for this now you've heard me say in other episodes i don't recommend storing
anything in the plastic water bottles that you get because many people do that or in their milk jugs
however if war is imminent those rules go out the window you need that milk jug just it's like gold
to you right now so round up those different things that you've got and then i want you to
do this i want you to fill every single one of those containers with one of these things
either oil because for cooking oil goes granted pretty quick it's not one of those forever foods
that's going to last a long time and when it runs out it's very difficult to cook it's very
difficult to get the fats that you need in the different things that you might be able to forage
or all of the other things that you've stored so you're wanting to fill those empty containers
especially the glass ones i would i would recommend highly fill with oil and the ones that
you don't fill with oil i want you to fill with beans and if the if you don't like beans or you
or you have already have plenty of beans stored up put lentils in there or peas or rice now rice
it doesn't have a whole lot of nutrition to it but it is filling it is warm it's going
to be a comfort food and it does have some nutrition value especially the brown rice
the the long grain rice that you could find i want you to fill up all those containers with that or
barley is a great one or wheat having little containers all different all almost throw
throw-away-able containers filled with these things not only are they going to provide for you
which is the first and foremost thing you're going to need secondly if there was someone who came to
your house and wanted to raid your supplies you've got something to hand them that's a value and help
to them it's in a it's in a castaway container it does not appear that you are a hardcore uh oh
industrial strength prepper that's got all kinds of hidden shelves full of stocked specialty type
rations or something like that in some back room it gives you something right there to hand them
that old plastic water bottle clear filled to the brim with barley or it lets you have something
that you're going to need and it also is a great way to use this space you've got so much space in
your house and one of the common questions i have people write in and ask is what am i supposed to
do i live in such a small apartment or such a tight space i don't have room to store anything
and as soon as you start identifying all of the plastic bottles the glass jars that you
bought pickles in last week and you ate the pickles and now you've got a glass jar there
that's valuable right now in the in the midst of imminent war use that don't throw any of it away
on a normal day i would tell you simplify get rid of all of the extras in your house
but when war is imminent the rules change and you need to think strategically about
what is a value and how it can be multi-purpose how it can be used again and again and and come
to be something that could save your life okay so think about those containers now i want to stay
on that theme and just mention specifically when each of those containers gets used up which i hope
that you would be using in the event of imminent war when each of those gets used up i want you
to fill them with water one of the first things that you'll find out in war is that water is not
always plentiful or clean or available and and if it runs out you're really in a bad place and so
right now while you might have still clean water fill every extra container up with water
and and then to to go into my point number three i want you to do this as an assignment
in the event of imminent war i want you to come up with some creative water catchment contraption and
it'll look different for everybody you could get as elaborate as you want if you have time
if you have plenty of money if the resources are endless you knock yourself out coming up with the
state of the art very classiest and best water catchment system for those of you who don't have
space or you're living in an apartment with just a smidgen of a balcony out there into the sunlight
or whatever you have to work with i want you to think about it and figure out a way to come
up with a water catchment system for yourself i remember my grandmother who i loved so much
lived up in Iowa and she had the best garden in the whole wide world but even with all of the
fertile soil and all the rain that they got that made everything perfect she still had a
all used up one of them was an upside down cake safe i remember that she had
that underneath one gutter at one corner of the house she had one of those old plastic
wash basins underneath a different gutter and a barrel under one of the other gutters and each of
the corners of their house you get my point they came up with some creative way to catch the water
she knew it was purer than what was going to be coming out of her city water through her faucet
she knew that the plants loved that rain water and so she already had it collected and was
always ready with enough water i love that and that wasn't in a time of war now is the time for
you to come up with your strategy for how you're going to catch and use that water okay there are
all kinds of videos on it online and I'll let you google that or or search it on DuckDuckGo
and and find out the methods that's going to work for your situation but i want you
to come up with a way to catch water and then of course purify it and be ready to make it usable
again all right those are your three assignments i have plenty more for you in the next episode but
i want to give you one bonus thought and that is this i want you to remember to pray continually
i want you to keep your calm and i want you to carry on you've heard some sayings a little bit
like that you might have that on your refrigerator already but i want you to stay always in a
state of prayer i want you to absolutely stand calmly where you are and i want you to carry on
with the next right thing for the next right moment thank you for joining us today we'll
see you next time god bless you and go out and be a blessing to someone today bye bye
hey there are so many promises that the children of god get to cash in as needed
when times get rough and i want to share one of those with you today this is right out of the
the 91st psalm there in the middle of your holy bible and it's verses 5 6 and 7 it says this
thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night nor for the arrow that flyeth by day
nor the pestilence that walks in the darkness nor the destruction that wasteth at noonday
a thousand shall fall at thy side and even ten thousand at thy right hand but it shall not come
nigh thee that's out of the King James version
and i hope that you will remember that today it's getting so dark out go out and glow
you
