Once again with the polar drift. I really don\’t know whether these preppers have not completed their due diligence or if Doomday Preppers is intending to acquire more mileage on their magnetic field animation. Anyways, Kevin O\’Brien gives several useful points to consider with his segment specially with homesteading and prepping like a family.

1. Going to the countryside

No matter if it is for a polar shift or not, Kevin has made the wise decision to relocate to a non-urban place, specifically the highlands of Tennessee. Relocating to a rural location is a good idea for any type of catastrophe to defend one\’s loved ones from the unpredictable effects of a catastrophe on the population. Specially, Florida is a very bad place to reside when considering natural calamities of all types.

With regards to surviving over time, homesteading is undoubtedly a much healthier method to give yourself. Preserving vegetation and also livestock can provide your body with the important nutrients it needs. Shelf-stable food items and grain staples can lack in this. You do not need to end up with deficiency diseases like the Japanese sailors who had been dwelling off of rice.

2. Relocating with children

The kids in the O\’Brien family are really not intrigued by the idea of prepping. It is a stark contrast to Tim Ralston\’s boys that are into prepping, survival and all the exercises which go together with it, or even the Evers family that go at it with each other. The evidence on the contrary would suggest that it isn\’t prepping that is unappealing to young children, it\’s the manner in which it\’s introduced.

It seems like the kids aren\’t enjoying the entire experience. Granted, it is rare to find youngsters are happy when a move is on the horizon, however to move from 0 to sixty on literally heading to the mountains might have been made simpler. There are lots of ways to get children serious about prepping from camping trips to helping cook to planning fishing. It had been clear from the amount of food the O\’Briens had stashed that prepping had been part of life for some time. Getting investment from the kids sooner may have made the move easier.

At the end of the day, it is all about mindset. The O\’Brien\’s declared that they were ridiculous and accepted it. Tim Ralston\’s kids felt their dad was going along with extra plans to protect them. They were doing a similar thing. It\’s a matter of belief with the way you speak about survival with friends and family that can make all the difference.

3. Sustainable methods

Kevin had some pretty interesting practices when it came to electricity for the house. I appreciated the concept of using pickle barrels as a solar battery for a green house. This has been observed to increase the growing time of year in the green house by many months. If you do not have access to pickle barrels, it is possible to use generally any kind of empty vessel in the same manner, many people have also used beer cans! In case you required a reason to knock back a few brews, it can be done for survival.
