Good video Dave. I'm amazed that he didn't really mention anything about stocking up on self defense items, guns, ammo, etc..

I'm as good to go as anybody as far as food items, hygiene items, guns, ammo, booby traps, etc..

One reason he may not have really mentioned stocking up on self defense items is the animosity of YouTube towards videos that mention firearms in conjunction with prepping. He may have felt that mentioning those things would get his video taken down even faster. He said, in the video, to make a copy of it, so I did that. y2mate.is is good for making copies of YT videos.

He talks about empty store shelves, and military movements that can't be summer training, but I don't see those things here. (I do see Army Reserve and Guard units deploy to the TX border.)

He also mentions $4 a gallon gasoline and that kinda limits where he hails from, but I can't find anything to actually say where he is.

TRex, he got gas in Utah, high test, he's trying to extend the life of his truck. In Salt Lake for regular is $3.880/gallon.

Yeah, I wouldn't follow this guy. I went back a few years and looked at videos he has done each years for the past five years or so, and, to say the least, I am not impressed with his "discernment" in matters of what is happening on any particular day.

(I haven't really looked at his religious videos.)

It does make people think, at least it made me.

I watched but I find the guy lacking in Street Cred.

High Level Officers are shopping at Costco? My brother in law when enlisted would drive around colonels to generals in his day so I don't see them heading to the grocery on their down time. That'scsomething delegated to other people.

Why is the only mantra of prepping channels on YT "RUN TO THE STORE"? It's like all around hard freakin' work has been replaced by go to Costco in your camo outfit and upload your grocery haul.

So everyone who knows you now knows what you have.

That is just one of the problems I have with this guy. It seems to me, he gloms onto whatever conspiracy theory comes his way.

You have a valid point, that, if they know you are a prepper and you are seen stocking up, you lose some OPSEC. But this guy is saying non-preppers with money, in a panic,(we need a shorthand way of saying that) are hitting Cosco, to stock up. I am guessing he hear from a guy, that "middle aged guys in uniform" were stocking up at Cosco, and filled in the rest. That is how conspiracy theories, sometimes, get started.
