Eight hours of Insanity: Hurricane Ian Retrospective
Просмотров 430Год назад
We were on the Eye Wall of Hurricane Ian about 6 straight hours. From 2:00 P.M. to almost 8:00 P.M. This is an hour by hour look starting at about 10:00 A.M. I stopped filming the storm about 6:00 P.M. because we were so busy soaking up water at the sliders and wringing them out. I was getting exhausted. The eye wall finally left us as it approached 8:00 P.M. and it slowly started letting up. T...

Hurricane Preparedness 101: 20 actions to protect your family and property
I just talked to wyze customer service and they said NO ..WYZE CAMERAS WILL NOT WORK WITHOUT WIFI..!!!!
The video specifically says I can get Wifi without internet if the router /modem is on.
In Central Florida near Tampa, Happy Groves Tropical Nursery has tons of fruit trees.
Best video I’ve seen. I’m in Florida to and I found this whole set up used for $250. Great info. Thanks.
Does not work if you lose internet maybe your connected to the Next Door Neighbor Impossible false video …
That would require me to have access to a neighbor's Wifi network, and I don't. You don't know what your talking about.
Any ideas for those living in the hot desert areas? Barely anything grows here, nothing to forage cos there is no rain... We have vacuum sealed some commercial feed with oxygen remover bags. It should keep the feed good for at least 2 years if done correctly.
Chaya might do OK growing in the desert with occasional watering. Can feed fresh or boiled and dried and crumbled. Try setting up something that you can harvest insect larvae with. Any kind of common weed is worth a try and if there are ant or any other insect colonies scattered around, give that a look.
Really helpful video! Appreciate it!
Thank you, I can’t wait to pick my quail some butterfly needles and poor man’s pepper from my yard tomorrow! I didn’t realize I was sitting on all these free greens for them to eat just growing in my yard, I hope they like them!
How has it done for you over time? Just ordered two of these and a paraell kit to combine their power.
It still works fine, but I rarely use it. I've switched to mainly lithium power stations of all sizes, some up to over 2000 Wh's. Being able to charge with portable solar panels is a big plus.
You're not the first person to mention loquat, but they are _highly_ disease prone, even in the arid climate here in soCal, based on what I've seen. I am looking for fruiting trees/plants that are a good match for Punta Gorda, which is where my mom is located. I've planted a couple varieties of prickly pear (that I smuggled there from CA in a pizza box) that are doing phenomenal. I planted the pads in December, and they've already tripled in number. I also started 2 LSU Purple figs, and those are thriving too. The RubyCrisp muscadine is beginning to work its way up the trellis I built. It is not of major concern and should also be OK since it is native to that area. I planted a 6" loquat in a pot (for now--and that I also smuggled from CA) that is in very poor condition. I'm not there and can only guide her from the pictures she sends. It was in a black pot, so I think the roots got cooked and now have root rot. My question is this: should the loquat not survive until I return in November, what other fruiting plants/tree(s) can be grown in her area that require minimal care, have high disease/insect/varmint resistance, and don't grow to be huge behemoths? I know cactus are "idiot proof" with figs being a close second. I really like California Date Palms, but don't think they will grow there, with the dampl climate and 2-3' water table. She is a senior, and I want to make this easy for her. She's never grown any food/fruit bearing plants, but we gotta take advantage of the real estate and the weather down there!

Never heard of issues or seen any here in SW Fl. One of my three trees was destroyed by Ian. The other two survived and are producing again.
This is the exact question I was thinking the other day as I was sitting in the middle of my property looking at all these birds I have … like seriously… My quail are more picky than my chickens though. I haven’t had them long but they turn their nose up at any food that isn’t bought from the produce store…
black soldier flys are another high protien option
LOOK to azolla and duckweed........both high protien and floats on a shallow pond
Nice video!
You can get your chaya plants in Sri lanka.10 plants free for those who come first.
They love millet too easy to grow as long as you keep it covered or wild birds will destroy it fast.
Thank to you for this!
I know this sounds picky. But the bible says never to eat of any animal that eats its own kind. So l guess that would apply to feeding them their own eggs and shells.
Fresh microgreens cooked up with some instant mashed potatoes and then you throw a can of tuna in there or do your fish the way you're doing it and they end up sleeping all day...😂😂😂
Great info🎉 around here, I eat half the eggs and the other half go into the incubator...😂😂😂😂
Thanks you from Katy Texas 👍
Love it.... the video is so educational brother ✌️😎... Jacksonville, Florida.... following you now ✌️😎...
Nope this is not true. Wyze doesn't work without Internet, even wit SD card!
Azolla plants reproduce like crazy. They are floating water ferns and often are used for food.
SHTF? What does that mean? Ohh, Shit Hits The Fan.
You guys, Wow! brear spray is more consintrated so it is a bit stronger than pepper spray plus it shoots 30 feet.
Very good ideas! Thanks!
You must be in Bokeelia. You guys lucked out. The storm surge ruined my home, my cars, my life. We are still fighting the insurance companies. Our home is only 20% complete. Don't know what we will do when FEMA takes the trailer back. If we are ever financially able after this, we are out of here. How can you put all that work into a homestead only to know that it can be washed away in an instant. You can't. We, like fools, stayed for the chickens. Of course, most of them drowned. We don't know what we were thinking. Never again. I put some videos up if you want to see what we went through. Ruined my dreams of semi-retiring, back to work full time with over 50k of loans. I was freaking debt free. As far as preparing, you can prepare all you want, but lose it all in an instant. Community is what came through for us. People helping people is where it is at. Thank you, neighbors, Matlacha Hookers and Mullet Runners...I would have went completely insane without you!
Those are some great ideas
Just catching up with your channel. Live in Jupiter. What is soil mix for containers and grow bags? Grow a lot of collards year round,do you have it in your garden. Great job?,ll
I can not connect because I don't have WiFi. I thought all I needed was my phone. I don't get it. It got as far as scanning the QR code. Then it asked me to set up to a WiFi. I don't have WiFi. 😏
Nice fence
Why didn't you put shutters on the windows?
Just never have. I prefer being able to see what's going on anyway. Been thru 3 major storms now, this being as bad as it can get, and still no broken glass in windows. Came close this time though to big problems.
@TheFloridaprepper I would so love to do that! I'm in s central Florida at the top of Lake Okeechobee. I really hate not being able to see but especially having the house dark. I notice many people don't shutter even in trailers. I don't have insurance either.
Glad you made it without too much pain. I signed the final sale papers for my house near Horse Creek in Arcadia about ten days before this storm came through. The whole neighborhood, for miles was flooded many feet deep.
Plants can grow back and posssesions can be replaced. Life is precious. Glad ya made it through. Bought some chaya cuttings from you last year, they're doing great here on the east side of lake O.
Most of the trees after some pruning have come back strong.
Can you keep the Everglades tomato be contained if sown in a pot? I don’t want them to take over my entire small space.
How would you reproduce them without electricity? They rarely go broody in captivity.
Is this good for chop and drop as well?
Thanks for sharing!
Here is a list of seed bearing flowers that quail eat. Alliums, Asters, Black-eyed Susans, Blanket flowers, Coneflowers, Coreopsis, Cornflowers, Cosmos, Daisies, Dandelions, Evening primroses, Goldenrods, Hibiscus, Marigolds, Moss, roses, Poppies, Sedum, Sunflowers, Violets, Zinnias
Petiole, not stem (branch).
I can't keep the stupid white flies off my guava trees anymore. I'm tired of spraying soap all over them just to get the flies back after a while.
Hi, Thank You i am excited to find you. I am in Sanibel full time and my first season was a disaster. I have heard everglades stop producing. Should I start new plants? Do they need to be pollinated by bees? I am planning to keep them in the screened patio area. Lots of sun and light there.
Wonder how they are doing now
Black soldier fly larvae
If anyone has birds for eggs and meat and the SHTF plant seeds that will grow and produce more seeds that has high protein even if you have to grind it up to feed it but plant enough to last in the mean time stock up on other stuff that has high protein even if you have to take a drive in the country to get it like berries that birds love to eat... It's not hard to find out what birds love to eat when just look at wild bird seed and then start Google each seed and some are very easy to get and you can plant them and if you can't then talk to different people that lives in the country that may allow you to plant a small plot and you don't even have to work the land just mow the plot and spread the seeds that it bottom line is its easy to find different ways to make high protein feed for the birds.. AND that stands for people that lives more further north you live in
Love your video like to see more on your birds....
In a shtf environment... A chicken tractor type apiary... All spring, summer and fall. In the winter we would have to utilize stored grain / protein. Caned meat and milled grain
Don't forget most flies are f crazy high protein in maggot form ... All of your trash will grow magots to feed and a simple hanging bucket with holes will feed for you
Everglades tomatoes are much smaller than the average cherry tomato. I grow them year round here in south Florida. They are the size of blueberries and pack a tomato flavor that can't be beat. We've had so much fun gifting the tomatoes to friends and neighbors and watching their shocking reaction when they pop some in their mouth. A couple of negatives about the plant... they are a wild tomato from Florida and they grow wild, really wild, lol! They have many shoots that grow four feet long in all directions. The shoots are covered with flowers and very shortly tomatoes. You will never be without tomatoes with this plant. You do have to harvest them soon after ripen as they do not stay well on the plant. You will want to keep the plants pruned. Also, if the tomato falls off the bush and onto the ground, it will grow many baby plants like crazy and they can get out of hand pretty quickly. You will want to keep these plants in a pot to help control them or they will take over your yard/garden. Good management makes these plants worth the effort. The tomatoes they produce are the best kept secret Florida has.
You have any seeds ?
good info
