Here's another great video loaded with basics from my friend Brian Duff at Mind4Survival. He's putting out some great stuff on his YouTube channel, which you can follow here. Today he talks about 21 essential stockpile items you should load up on now, if you don't have them already.

This video is about having the right preps. It lists 21 items that are essential for stockpiling. Obviously, you can't list every single prep needed in an eight-minute video but this is an excellent overview that covers many aspects of personal preparedness.

The key here is that before you get fancy, you need to make sure you have the basics.
