Jeremy and Kelly are probably the most brilliant couple on the Doomsday Preppers team, particularly since they don't reveal their last name. Although it may be very easy to people in the neighborhood, it might be difficult to hide a military truck in the suburbs. Specifically when it is larger than your house.
1. Hot Tub Water Supply
If you were waiting for a reason to invest a couple of hours in a hot tub, now you can do it in the name of survival! 450 gallons of water is an adequate water supply to maintain moisture for the majority of the year. Before any person gets too energized however, it is important to realize that this isn't as simple as the program might have you think. If any one of you are running out to grab some hot chocolate mix in order to make some cocoa like Jeremy and Kelly, be sure to read this first.
The most dangerous aspects of drinking hot tub water are the potential bacterial and natural pollutants. Whilst hot tub water is usually safe from getting polluted through the high levels of chlorine and temperature, in a grid shutdown these may turn out to be compromised. If stockpiling for a long stretch of time, decontamination is essential. Any sort of filter that may be used for trekking might be used. Alternatively there is a method that is gaining traction in Africa named flocculation wherein allergens are bound collectively into large clumps and then strained out with normal cloth.
2. Go Into The Beast
In a ridiculous turn of fate Jeremy could buy a decommissioned 2 1/2 ton M35 cargo truck for the bargain basement amount of $3500 dollars. I think it is a point truly worth speaking about since it is something which comes up a lot. Frequently us preppers are proud of our frugality. However without the power to drop $3500 dollars in one sitting, Jeremy could have never obtained the vehicle that forms the cause of his bug out plan. Pursuing financial stability and saving is very important regarding being able to afford the organization we need.
3. Different fuel resources
The most interesting factors about the beast is the truth that it can run on almost any fuel source. With Jeremy and Kelly?s concentrate on peak oil, alternative fuel resources are a key part of his tragedy situation. We have noticed other preppers on the program aimed at alternative fuel sources for instance biodiesel. The unlucky thing about gasoline is that apart from being very dependent upon infrastructure to reach your pump, it's difficult to stockpile due to it?s short shelf-life.
Motor oil, by comparison, lasts nearly ten years and with the filtration set up can remove any deposit which may form from being in one place for too long. Considering the current costs at the pump it is even beneficial to be stockpiling a fuel source that can probably be had for cents on the dollar if not for free.
One last strategic edge that the beast has is being able to push other cars from the road, or travel without a road. Using the estimations of clogged highways this is a critical tool to any road based bug out program
