I'm five minutes into it and this guy is still talking about nothing.

I don't know. I made it to the part where he said he has four deep freezers and I just had to turn it off. Four deep freezers ensure food smelling funny after a couple days with no power.

Two used full size coolers hold one week's worth of water for flushing a toilet once a day and showering once a day. $20 worth of canned food will last about the same amount of time. That's about all I do besides 10 gallons of bottled water.

This is a charger for a seven or eight year old Dyson--their first product to only have a battery. Capable of a run time of 20 minutes.

The other day my YouTube recommended attaching a cordless drill battery in place of the Dyson's battery with much better results. After spending three hours watching four different videos on a very complicated procedure involving soldering and ruining the original plastic framing of the Dyson, I went to sleep and woke up with a thought. A common sense non time wasting problem solving alternative is to simply add usability to it without trying to redesign it in order to make a video in which to look smart.

So if I go outside to the shed and get a 16" piece of wire or two and put a couple clips on it with a plug which is commonly available off many other appliances that will also plug into this Dyson, I can take the drill battery from my drill, put two small alligator clips on the end of the wire, and bungee cord the drill battery around the Dyson. I can then plug it in as if it were a charger and also provide double the power. This is the same as if I would have permanently mounted the battery thus destroying the originality of the old Dyson that will be a collector's item in 20 years.

I just don't see the point in spending two or three hours modifying something to get the same result. Kind of like when this prepper guy talks about what the weather did when he was outside or what his pigs did when he was outside to get to the point 10 minutes later of him sensing God is about to do something. I just don't have time for that shit. I don't understand people that overcomplicate things.

That dude reminds me of every preacher I've been forced to listen to throughout my younger years that tell you about some bullshit that you were not present for for 15 minutes before they get into the Word of God which is why you're there. Such a waste of time.

Ironically for four days I have been contemplating the thought of removing the items from my deep freezer and squeezing them organized fashionably into my refrigerator freezer which is running anyway because that's more than two weeks worth of food and if I need more than that I'll never have enough ability to produce the power to run the thing.

This is 86 cents a pound beef ravioli. I rinsed off the original sauce in lukewarm water, then poured 37 cent Ragu on sale mushroom spaghetti sauce over the top after microwaving the raviolis and thought that I was eating a normal brand.

This and canned pumpkin are two less than a dollar per pound canned food options that are ready-to-eat. I'm good. What amazes me about preppers is the thousands of dollars they spend on shit that just doesn't make any sense.

Kind of like men and cars. Here's an example: The old Volvo I just acquired quit going into overdrive. I googled it and found a part called a solenoid which is known to fail on the distributor that could be bought in an overdrive solution repair kit. I zoom in on the picture and there's a slight 8th inch by half inch grind in the center of the solenoid which allows fluid to flow through that line and somehow makes the overdrive work again. So rather than spending the money on the part, I remove the part from my car, got a grinder and cut that same line in it and 30 minutes later I had overdrive again and it's worked ever since and it cost nothing. But most other men would just buy the $50 part and not think about how simple the fix is by the image put out in front of them. Humans do this all the time. They overcomplicate everything by trying to look smart.

I'm not bragging but here's another example of it. That '99 Mercedes that I bought for my son, the cooling fans didn't work because of a $480 computer module which required removing the inner fender to get to up front. That being said the question was this: How can I tell these fans that you need to turn on now because the radiator is a 190ﾟ? I google it and found a $2 part that is adjustable and it senses temperature by being placed outside the radiator, physically outside it, and once the outside temperature hits a point it sends a signal to a relay hooked up to my car's battery which turns power on to the fans. And once the radiator cools down in a few seconds the fans turned back off again. The Mercedes was fixed for $7.50.

When five year certified mechanics open the hood and look at what I've done they smile and shake their heads and make fun of it. And then you ask them what's wrong with it and they cannot answer. They say they would have just bought the original $480 part and fixed it right. That just doesn't equate in a conservative way of thinking. What it does equate to is pride and denial of reengineering someone's mistake. Admit that Mercedes made a mistake and Volvo made a mistake and everybody makes mistakes. All Volvos and Mercedes aren't perfect.

I have read quite a bit about who who has the best natural traits for engineering and designing. Oftentimes it's the people with learning disabilities that design the best solutions.

You are spot on. Preppers prepare because they don't like the taste of cat food. But I live near cat food factory and it smells great!

JANITOR 001

My ex worked at a grocery store for a month and an old lady used to come in every couple of weeks and buy about 20 cans a cat food and she did not have a cat.

JANITOR 002

Cheapest meat on the market and it smells like carnival food when they cook it in the Purina factory on the edge of town.

JANITOR 001

Yes I think it's all about the secret sauces. As long as whatever we're putting into our mouths has protein who cares. My dad's family ate squirrels when he was a child. And turtles.

JANITOR 002

It smells like corndogs deep-fried in liver grease.

Yes, if they could can that flavor it would make sense.

I'm sure you're well aware of this but I I've got to repeat it: Those preppers are the same George Nory crowd that get a fucking stimulation off of their drama chemicals and that's why they make those YouTube videos where they all sit around and catastrophize. It's disgusting.

If you're worried about the power grid going down, realistically look at how long it's going to be even worth living depending on where you are located. That being said, spending money beyond a few weeks-- perhaps a month worth of supplies--is absolutely ludicrous and these people need help.

And the companies that are putting the fear out there all deserve to lose their business licenses. That's just wrong.
