Doomsday Preppers: How to Survive like Jeremy and Kelly

By Terrance Franklin


Jeremy and Kelly are among the most intelligent partners on the Doomsday Preppers team precisely because they won't disclose their last name. Although it may be very obvious to people in the neighborhood, it will be tough to hide a military truck in the suburban areas. This is especially true when it's bigger than your home?

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 hazardous part of drinking hot tub water is the risk of consuming the potential bacterial and natural contaminants. While hot tub water is mostly safe from becoming contaminated from the significant amounts of chlorine and temperature, in a grid shutdown these can become compromised. Stockpiling for a long time frame decontamination is recommended. Any type of filtration system that could be used for trekking could possibly be used. Instead there is a procedure gaining grip in Africa referred to as flocculation wherein particles are bound collectively into large lumps and then filtered out with ordinary fabric.

2. Go Into The Beast

In a silly turn of luck Jeremy could buy a decommissioned 2 1/2 ton M35 cargo truck for the bargain basement cost of $3500 dollars. I think this is a point that is truly worth discussing since it is something that comes up a lot. Sometimes us preppers are proud of our frugality. However without the power to drop $3500 dollars in one sitting, Jeremy would've never have purchased the vehicle that forms the cause of his bug out plan. Pursuing financial balance and saving is important when it comes to affording the organization that we need.

3. Alternate 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 tactical edge that the beast has is being able to push other cars out of the road, or take a trip with no road. With the estimations of blocked highways this is a vital resource to any road based bug out strategy
