00:00:00.000 If there's a flood in my area, where do I go?
00:00:03.320 What do I do?
00:00:04.020 Who do I connect with?
00:00:05.000 Who do I contact?
00:00:05.940 Do I stay put?
00:00:07.120 Is there someplace safe I can go?
00:00:09.700 In the first photo on the left, you'll see there's things like lanterns.
00:00:13.580 I'll talk about lanterns in just a moment.
00:00:15.520 There's things like candles and utensils, a little French press there, a kettle that
00:00:24.360 you heat over a wood stove.
00:00:26.320 There's your little blue water bottle, hot water bottle, right?
00:00:29.280 There's bottles of wine in the bottom left corner.
00:00:31.500 Now, I've heard of people that go to the wine store and get those wine kits for like $120
00:00:35.880 and get the wine store to make them, not so that they will have wine to drink, but they'll
00:00:40.780 have something to trade.
00:00:42.500 You know, it ends up that a bottle of wine made from the wine store costs you $4.
00:00:47.100 And if it all hits the fan, you can trade them for 20 bucks or whatever.
00:00:52.520 OK, something to consider.
00:00:54.340 The photo on the far right has a lot of the items we're going to talk about in the next
00:00:58.460 slide.
00:00:58.960 But the photo in the middle is what I want you to get your to get your attention.
00:01:04.320 Mike, one of my grandsons just turned 14 years old a couple of days ago.
00:01:08.300 And I said, so what are you doing for your birthday?
00:01:10.560 He says, well, I just came back from picking up 13 chainsaws.
00:01:14.920 And he said, just before Christmas, I picked up another eight or nine.
00:01:18.360 And he said, I fixed them up.
00:01:20.760 I cleaned them up.
00:01:21.940 I put a new bar and chain on them.
00:01:23.440 And then I trade him or I sell him.
00:01:25.180 He's into four wheelers as well.
00:01:26.740 and he learned himself. Well, my son helped him, but he taught himself how to repair small engines.
00:01:34.560 And, you know, in a case of a disaster, people will want or need chainsaws.
00:01:41.080 You know, trees are down. People will want firewood and it may be hard to come by.
00:01:45.720 So here's a 14 year old kid who just turned 14.
00:01:50.460 Who's got a collection of chainsaws. And so that's something you may want to consider, too.
00:01:56.020 You may say, I don't know a thing about chainsaws.
00:01:58.500 You know what?
00:01:58.880 You can learn a lot on YouTube these days while you still can.
00:02:02.560 And I wouldn't go out and buy a whole bunch of lawnmowers because people may not be so
00:02:06.680 worried about mowing their grass during a state of emergency.
00:02:10.420 But a chainsaw, maybe.
00:02:12.200 Or maybe you've got a grandchild or a grandson who may have interest in this.
00:02:16.780 Just something to consider.
00:02:18.620 OK, or if you have a chainsaw or two, you may want to consider picking up an extra,
00:02:23.360 you know, bar and chain and gear oil and all that,
00:02:28.080 because it may be hard to come by in case of an emergency.
