Kevin O'Brien: his Tactics on Doomsday Preppers

By Terrance Franklin


Once again with the polar drift. I really don't know whether these preppers haven't completed their homework or if Doomday Preppers is hoping to get more mileage on their magnetic field animation. Well, Kevin O'Brien brings some exciting factors to examine with with his part especially with homesteading and prepping as a family.

1. Going rural

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.

When it comes to surviving over time, homesteading is definitely a much healthier way to provide for yourself. Sustaining vegetation and also livestock can provide your system with the vital nutrition it needs. Shelf-stable food and grain staples can lack in this. You don't want to end up having deficiency ailments like the Japanese sailors who had been dwelling off of grain.

2. Moving with kids

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 might be all about mindset. The O'Brien's stated that they were crazy and regularly said it. Tim Ralston's boys felt that their dad was going extra lengths to guard them. They were doing a similar thing. It is a matter of belief with how you would talk about survival with relatives and buddies which can make all the difference.

3. Sustainable tactics

Kevin had some fairly intriguing practices when it came to power for the home. I appreciated the concept of using pickle barrels as a solar battery for a green house. It has been seen to enhance the growing season within a greenhouse by several months. If you don't have access to pickle casks, it's easy to use basically any kind of empty vessel in the same way, many people have also used beer containers! In case you required an excuse to drink a few beers, you can do it for survival.
