$150 Walmart Bug Out

The threat of disaster is never pleasant. Welcome to the casual Prepar's podcast. These safety measures are essential. The only place for prepping, survival, and entertainment This will be your source of survival instructions and information. Every member of the family must be coached in the business of survival. Here are your hosts, Kan and Kirby. Yeah, at your wallet. You're going to walk through this with us. Forgot the chick book. Hope no mind pain, gain. Fakenin' shit, yeah, that's exactly how I would be like. You know, in a situation like this, I'd be like getting all the change I could because like I'm a dumbass and didn't have enough cash. You know, I'll be asking my kids, hey, do you have any like cash we could use? Go look around the dryer and see what's falling out of everybody's pocket cushions. Yeah, but what are we doing today? Because it's a different sort of episode. Yeah, so this is, we actually were originally wanting to do like a gear draft, right? Yeah, we could do this. But we could do this. How do we do this that it makes sense for listeners, maybe new listeners, or even seasoned listeners of like, what would you do in this scenario? So we kind of painted a little scenario where you have a limitation, you know, it's going to be 72 hours, you have $150 that you can use at your local Walmart or similar store. But we went on a Walmart and we specifically had to shop. We didn't go in there and buy stuff, but online and on what was in store. It was in store. So 150 bucks, we needed to go with our family up out of town away from our, you know, whatever it was called. It's a bug out scenario, basically. Exactly. And so we're going to walk you guys through how we used and we have not seen each other's lists of how we used that 150 that we felt would suit our family's best for 72 hours. And a caveat with that also were unprepared. Like we don't have bug out bags. That's a very important thing. We don't have anything. And we'll review that again. Well, yes. We, you're not the prepper type that we hope you are. Yeah. So you're typically more prepared than this. If you want to be more prepared though, you could look at Battlebox. Because it is the monthly subscription box full of solid gear for adventure seekers, survival, a South Door Enthusiasm, casual preppers. Each month, Battlebox sends you the coolest selection of handpicked outdoor survival. In everyday carry gear, all valued at far more than what you'd normally pay. You never know what's in the next box, but here's a sampling of what users received this month, the tactic of K120 flipper Pagan knife in the Nest Packs slim pack. All this bad assness starts at just 3499 per month. They've shipped over a million boxes and they won best subscription box of 2020. So if you're a pro, you can get a lot of credit for that. You can get a lot of credit for that. I actually switched it because I thought this was very interesting. On March 24th, Cameron, in Harrison, New Jersey, 15 large crop spring drones were stolen by someone posing as a delivery driver. So this is crazy. So it wasn't like this big like high-tech heist. Basically, the person just showed up in a box truck with a fake pickup order and loaded the drones and drove away. Oh my god. That's how easy it is. But these aren't just drones. According to the reports, each drone was worth $58,000 a piece. Oh my god. So it's not like-- How many did you take? He took 15 of them. So it was almost $870,000 worth of industrial spraying equipment loaded into a truck. So this is where-- What is he going to spray with it? Well, that's the whole thing. I'm like, what's going on here? It could be kind of scary because these were built to spray liquids over large areas. That's worse than like a gunman. Yeah. It could be a nightmare scenario. Someone load them with some weird toxic or biochemical thing. Fly over a crowd, a neighborhood, water source, livestock farmland, anything, and just like destroy-- Dude, that's terrifying. That's terrifying. It's so terrifying. Here's the good news. The drones were later found abandoned in a warehouse. So thankfully, it really didn't turn into anything bigger. But I think it is a reminder that like-- We just gave some psychopath an idea. Yeah. And we probably did. Maybe we did. But it's just crazy. Like how hard was it to go get these things that could like terrorists could just absolutely-- Oh my gosh, man. Utilize in a terrifying manner. Which is very water. Oh my gosh. It's hot. Better than I would touch them up between them. Yeah. That's a story game. And we're talking about it later. But yeah, how's that for a mad mad world, though? That's not great. That's pretty creepy to think about. It is, man. Someone's spraying a town with a stolen drop-duster drone. You just never know. A population-duster drone. And everybody thinks it's like a UFO up there or something. Yeah. They're big. You think Kim Trale's bad. We do get it right in your eyes. I think Kim Trale's. [LAUGHS] Kim gives a whole one of these suckers. You never know what would get happened. When I see my belly, it's called a Kim Trale. That's not a-- That's not a happy trail. It's a cam trail. That's right. Oh, man. He's going from his nipples to his belly button right down to his young pattern. It's a big circle. It looks like a light bulb. It looks like a sight. A sight. Oh, you don't finish the circle. Yeah, you can leave a little portion open. It's like a hook-hand. It's a hook-hand. Oh, my gosh. That's amazing. It's a hook-loop. Yeah. Well, that one's down to more terrifying. That's a lot better. This one was weird. Okay. Because you've got Prago before, right? I've gotten pregnant. Is that what you're saying? Prago. You the sauce? Yeah, the sauce. I've had it before. I have not Prago. I don't like that cheap store-bought spaghetti sauce. Right. I just don't like it. You've had it, though. You were at that point in the morning. Right, right. You couldn't buy luxury spaghetti sauce. No, I don't. Well, spaghetti sauce. My mom and my wife make like this homemade sauce. Yeah, yeah. That's like fantastic. I never, like growing up, we never had any. Yeah. But when we first got married, we had to pick one. Yeah. I like Prago. You like my wife? Okay. What's the other big main one? Ragu. Ragu. So I just used grape value, probably. If I was going to, you know what I mean? Yeah. Anyways, Prago's up to their game to fit in more with society lately. Have they? Or terrify people. Okay. They partnered with story corpse to help Americans turn everyday dinners into moments worth remembering by creating a puck sized device that listens to your family conversations to. I think it's to help like, help you have ideas to help with your family. It's the so-called connection keeper, listen to family's mill time chats and it's shaped like a puck. Okay. And I'm trying to think what it does. Did that. It was at the same thing in 1984. It sounds like an Orwellian device. It does actually, huh? It's like, yeah. I mean, really, we all have them in our house already. We have Google. Hey, Google. Oh, I think it's just made to record the family's conversations. You can store them and save them and listen to them later, which is very weird. I don't know why I'd want my dinner time conversations record. And of all the companies, isn't that weird? Prago. Prago is made. It looks like the top of the can. Oh, doesn't it? It would extend it a little bit. And all the cans just had that. That would be kind of cool. Your pantry's listening to you. But I don't know why I would specifically go out and buy one from Prago. That's what I thought. You know what I mean? How does this company think they're going to be. It's very interesting. For one, people don't like their conversations. You know, I listen to. And then to buy it from a company that makes spaghetti sauce. I mean, I trust they're tomato sauce, so they might as well have all of my. You know, listening to how they like our sauce. Yeah. But that's the weirdest thing that they were. That is interesting. Combined with the company to make a little puck that listens to your family conversation. It's almost as good as like a caffeine puck in your can. I know. That's why I brought it up. I have one I thought puck goes like, "Interesting." Interesting. I mean, let's read this. Caffeine puck in a bottom of an energy can. That's right. Nothing better. So, Cam, the $150 bug out challenge. Yeah. Right. Yeah. Unspecific scenario that we don't know what's happened. Yeah. Right. There's too many holes if we created a scenario. So, it's a bug out scenario. Let's just say that. Right. You have to. You have to immediately evacuate. Luckily, you have some sort of a family cabin. Yeah. Right? Yeah. You have somewhere to go 75 miles. It's in this case, it's a cabin. And luckily, feeled you're vehicle. You don't have to worry about gas. Great. And the month is April. It's not extreme, right? Right. It's like. It's a little wet, but not crazy too. I feel a little dampness. Yes. Moisture is okay. And the other thing is like. Like you said, you know, we're not the prepper type that we've been talking. It's like you're getting into prepping or something like that. But all you have on you is your clothes and you happen to carry in a small UDC knife. You're phone and you wall it. Yeah. That's it. You got just the basis. For the most part, that's what most people carry right now. And I think that's the whole point of what we're doing today is like. If. Like just to consider, like, if you had to do this. Yeah. And you didn't have anything, basically. What would you do? How would you do it? How would you spend a limited amount of money when you could still do it? Yeah. It's a tough thing to do and we're going to talk about how tough it is. But I think it's just a great thing to consider as a prepper or if you haven't prepped obviously very good to consider it because you're going to be in this situation probably. And just considering the amount of cash, 150 bucks, we're going to show you how far that goes in three days. It likes helps in some areas. It works out and then others are like, "You, I can't buy you." Yeah. It really is tough. So, I think that's why it's another great thing to do because for us, how much cash should we be keeping around? What if we got separated from all our gear and we had to buy stuff? I think it's a good thing to do, consider. And I think the thing that gets really interesting with the list, at least for me, is a lot of the things that I picked were never anything that I would ever have put on the list before. Yeah, me too. It's like, don't buy this crap. Yeah. I don't buy that crap. Yeah. So, yeah. Your constraints, $150, cash only, you have your vehicle, your family went, so in my case, I had a Honda Pilot, Kobe has his Toyota Tacoma. And the goal was to cure 10 main categories of survival for at least the three-day window. Yeah. And so, we broke it down into 10 different categories. You don't necessarily have to do this, but we did that because there's certainly that you're going to have to hit. And we're trying to cover the entire spectrum of survival for these three days. Yeah, yeah. Right. And we talked about this, too. It's really tough because you consider, so do I just get stuff to last these three days and give me two hours? Or do I get stuff that maybe would be longer? But when I came down to it, it was like this whole mission was 72 hours, so I did just for those 72 hours. And yeah, there's some that will probably extend beyond that only because the cost. Yeah, for sure. But other things, I'm like, I only need 72 hours. Yeah, exactly. And so you sure hope that you can get back to your home and life after the 72 hours in this case. Yeah, exactly. And again, we've never, we've not seen our lists. This is the first reveal. We don't know what this is. So when I went through this, I honestly had to do it four different times to get everything dialed in, to get it optimized. Yeah. And again, for me, it just really goes to show how hard this would be in a real emergency because you're like, you're panicked, you're head swimming or stuff going on. There's a lot of chaos going on and you have to go pick these things that are going to keep you survived for three days. Boy, it's really hard. It's really tough and how fast that 150 goes. Woo. Yeah, really tough. I was super curious too because I was like, I want to, I want to go to Gemini and I'm going to say specifically like, at the local Walmart, please show me these items. I have $100,000 just to see what it would do. And it would pull from the online online. It's really tough. It didn't pull vocal. It's tough. So it's like, hey, I could probably help you get some ideas, but it's not going to have time. It's not going to work nor you may have cell service, right? Yeah. So the number one category is basically primary hydration. It's water. Obviously, right. You got to survive with water. Yeah, you got to have water and, you know, that's always at the top of the list with everything we talk about. So it was pretty much where I started when I started looking at these categories. I did kind of go back and forth on some of these categories. Yeah, I changed several times like you said. Yeah, but I knew I had to have this dialed in in some way, shape or form. And I went back and forth like 50 times. Like, how am I going to do this? That's the most efficient, you know, the, the, for the best price. Yeah. So do you want me to go first then? Yeah. Yeah. Go ahead. So I went. We'll go back and forth. Dude, I went so simple. I went as simple as you could possibly could. I went to water 16.9 fluid ounce bottles, 40 count. I got a two pack. Oh, a two pack. Two of them. Yeah. So basically what that is is I'm grabbing 240 packs of bottled water. That gives us 80 bottles total for three days. And that's probably not optimal. That's smart. No, I, you think. Yeah. So what? I'll tell you right now, I went with the exact same 40 count, but I only got one. You only got one. Okay. And I had that at one point too. I love, several things going on about it. Two is probably smarter. So basically with those that gives me 5.3 bottles a day per person. Yeah. I think I could stay hydrated. That's why I was like, I cut it back. So my kids barely drink any water. Yeah. Well, you know, maybe I'll sacrifice the costs. It's true. And it really wasn't much, 550. Yeah. So is that all you did with water? Or do you have more? No, I don't have more. Okay. So that, so my, my total was 1094 for my primary hydration. And so I went with that too because I figured, well, maybe I want to cook some stuff, you know, and you're going to need some water probably to cook. Maybe I'll need some for, you know, sanitation, probably not when you look at our sanitation thing, I'll think I'll be okay. Yeah. But basically this is like for cooking and for drinking. And I think that gets me for 11 bucks, 1094. For three days, I think that's pretty good. Yeah. No, I think it is too. Probably could have done slightly better if you went with like the big gallon thing. I know, but it's a thing that but that that was where I landed on that too because like I thought you could do more with the bottles. Yeah. Well, and it's like just the convenience of it. Yeah. It's worth something. Yeah. Because like everybody trying to like drink out of like a, well, it's big like two gallon things or whatever they are or five. Yeah. Like it's just a pain in the ass. Yeah, that's a cup. Yeah. Like poured in your mouth. It's waste. Yeah. So that's why I felt like the bottles were the way to go. So that's what I went into 40 count to pack 1094. That's great. That's all I did. Did you have anything else on that? That's it. Okay. So mine was very similar. I went with the 40 count, 550. Okay. But I thought you're going to be up on a mountain. It rains a lot. There's creeks in most places. So I did throw in the potable Aqua water purification tabs. Okay. How much were those? They were $9 for two bottles of 50. Okay. That's a lot. Yeah. And so I figured with that, I would, if I ran out of water with the bottles, we ended up staying a little bit longer. I'm like, I have at least those that I could throw into each of these bottles, you know, that would get us enough to hopefully get back. Definitely. That stretches you beyond what I have. But it's a pain in the butt. It stretches you beyond what I have. So that's the, that's the good thing. Um, I would think it was a big cost compared to the, just the water straight up. Yeah. So you spent how much total for that? Just under $10. It was $550 and it was $9 for the $250. Oh, so $15. Oh, yeah. Sorry. Yeah. I was 15 years. Okay. That's fine. Yeah. So it's been like $1550. 1450. So you spent like $5 more. Yes. Okay. Well, that's, that's great. I mean, again, it's, I don't think you can spend too much on hydration. I just kept going back and forth like I have so many categories that we have to cover. We do. And also tax is the thing we had to consider. Yep. Right. So I tried to figure tax out before and then I figured tax out after and it was pretty close. So I went with it actually after after I combined everything because you got a different food tax versus, and it mattered this in this. Okay. So, um, did you, how did you do your tax? So I, I basically just, so after this on each one of these categories, my, I, I, I, I, just, so after this on each one of these categories, my total was 1094 for that category. I have 139.06 remaining before tax. And then at the end, I just left some money for tax. Yeah. That's basically what I, yeah. And that's, it, it came out the same. I did it both ways. Okay. Like I did it like with the list and then tried to figure out the categories based on the tax amount for what it was. Sure. And then ended up the same as if I were to take like 10 right off the bat. Okay. Cool. Anyway. Great. So that's done with water, right? So I'm going to do food. This one, I probably messed with this one more than any of the other categories because I was like, as a prepper, you know, the mindset, I'm like, who I should go with like M.R.E.s and like grains and, and I'm like, why? Why am I doing that for 72 hours? I'm just trying to get food for my family comfortably for the next 72 hours. Yep. And I'll tell you right now, I did not get anything that needs to be cooked. Yeah. That's great. So because I was figured in water and I didn't get it. I'm like, I don't have enough ready to drink water. Like, are just enough for drinking. So I'm like, I'm not going to do anything with pots and pans and all that. Sure. Your cabin may have it. Maybe it didn't. And that was the thing. I was like, I'm not even going to worry about it. I just want stuff that can be made and eaten right there. I agree. So I went with just a pack of or a loaf of bread. Okay. Grandma's thick, more white bread is my favorite. It is really good bread. It's white and it's terrible, but it's just delicious. That's what all my kids eat that bread too. Yeah, it's so soft. It's so good. Moist. It's very moist. Yeah. So I went with that because I also went with a big jar of peanut butter, creamy peanut butter and then a honey. Okay. Honey peanut butter sandwiches. So give me the prices on these as we go. Yeah. Okay. So the loaf of bread was $2.98. Okay. The great value, honey, plastic bear, which was, God, I forgot to write the answers. I think there's 14 answers. Okay. It was $374, which honey, right? It's got a whole bunch of uses. You squirt in your mouth for a treat. Absolutely. I do it all the time. Because I looked at the honey sticks and they were just a little bit too much. And then the great value, creamy peanut butter, and it was a big jar of four ounces. Yes, all that is $398. Yep. Yep. So. And then in addition to that, I went with a great value mountain trail mix. She's got nuts and you got some chocolate in there. It kind of fits a little into the next category, but. That was the other thing and then I went with Tuna I went with star kiss chunky light tuna and water four pack So it cans a tuna. Yeah, this is gonna be pretty miserable to eat Can you open that can? That's true. I have my pocket. Yeah, it's gonna suck. You can open it. Yeah. Yeah, that's good point Cuz I was looking at the little already ready packs Yeah, like already prepared those would have been easier, but they're just a little bit more Yeah, they're more anyways. I got the so you get tuna one night and you got Yeah, peanut butter sandwiches most of the time and then trail mix and then I have some other sweet stuff that they Nice. We'll go on. It's crazy how fast the loaf of bread would go for a family of five That would because if you each have a sandwich it's gonna be that's 10. This is I mean I probably got too many corners on my food. Yeah, it's it was so hard I did this is that all you had then it was that everything how much was your total category then did you spend? Total category on my food was 25 dollars, okay great. That's awesome. That's pretty good That actually includes my my the next category to oh does it okay. Yeah, okay. That's that's pretty good Okay, 25 27 perfect so I Kind of went the same way like my thoughts were to get as many calories as possible for the least amount of yeah Yeah, like I don't really care how palatable it is real I mean I sort of do cuz you'll see what when I make my fix But and it wasn't like oh it just needs to last a hundred years none of that stuff Right just and really when it comes down to it in all reality we'd be fine for three days if we had to you could live through That's a thing you could live through that's like I could have made meals for every day But I'm like it's gonna be limited. You're not gonna eat yeah every lunch, you know, yeah, breakfast lunch dinner Beers that you'd be completely miserable if you didn't have any food you'd make horrible decisions So you have to have some so I kind of went with a mix of like food that didn't need to be cooked You know obviously water and fuel will be limited for that that sort of thing right and stopping to cook who knows Maybe it could be dangerous like on the way. I don't know. I just really wanted easy Convenient for the next three days And I probably could have done more here, but like I know that's where just like not knowing what you're gonna face You know in the drive to the cabin the next few days you have to make sure all the bases are covered in all of these You can't just like spend $50 on food. I know which what you would probably do Right you just would that's so true, but you can't do it so with this one So here's what I went my biggest monthly cost right now it is for sure Instant ramen noodle chicken flavor God 12 pack and I got two of them wanted to do so I got two of those So here's like ramen is kind of doing I sat in bed thinking about that very item. Yeah last night I was like maybe I should have put that on there. Oh kids elite at dry That's where I landed on this and like it's cheap calories. It's is it fancy? No Does it taste good also? No, I've done a calorie can that I did do a smart can because like I just kind of went with calories So it's cheap. It's simple. It's really light everybody knows what it is If I have some extra water and I want to cook it like soup I can do that because I might have a little bit of extra water, but probably not But you could just pour that seasoning on there and crunch it like it's a crunchy snack You can eat it right I used to do it. I did it all the time So here's the thing somebody was telling me and I want to think I want to say this might have been your wife okay of like pouring the packet into like a couple water and they would dip it. Oh, I don't know That sounds that makes sense a little wet Yeah, mix that wasn't me but could have it wasn't you but I swear was your right bet could have probably like Stupid yeah, you don't talk like that. No, but it could but that's the thing that you can eat this in a lot of different ways So each one of those packs each one of the you know the little plastic packs those 180 calories. Yeah, it's like they're packed one of those so that means a 12 pack is 4,560 calories Wow, yeah, I bought two of those that smart man that one I went back and forth on I should have got that 9,120 calories for $7.74 Yeah, that's cheap calories man. I was really close to just like doubling that and just saying screw it for more We're eating raw more yeah, we're eating ramen the whole time you could have gotten through that because really like per Price per calorie. It was the best I could find in my way kind of comfort and sweet Well, I'm doing the same thing like like I said It's not just about surviving if you just lived off of ramen for three days You'd be so sick or ramen by day three, right? And it's also like your mental health like you have to you know Be able to be mentally sharp and you know Somewhat happy throughout those days and making good choices. So my second Choice here I bought two little Debbie big pack oatmeal cream pie sandwiches So there's 12 per pack so there's 24 so this is kind of like so you could touch into that next category too It kind of could be and I have some more stuff in that next category too, but this is a morale pick You know, we're not pretending like oatmeal cream pies are Like a survival food or anything like that. But they're the thing is is they're pretty cheap They're individually wrapped, you know They're easy to just like throw and hand out when everybody's tired and annoyed a little like sugar cookie cake Whatever the heck it is is gonna help right and yeah, like a high calories for the price That was the whole thing like I'm trying to get enough calories. Yes, that makes sense The problem is it's like it's a lot of sugar, but it's also it's a lot of sugar That's actually good probably in this situation mind and you know what I mean? Yeah exactly So that's kind of why I went the each one of those cookies are 330 calories They are loaded so each box is like 4,000 calories. So it's like yeah, you went way calorie rich, which is 8,000 calories I love to go stay with for $10.96 So that's two I have one more choice here and I went with something very similar to you in that peanut butter 40 ounces of peanut butter the problem is is like how am I gonna eat this peanut butter? Um, I saw I'm saying like you're gonna take care of your ramen and you're gonna paste I would 100% do that like I don't even care like I would do that So the thing with peanut butter is it's like really cheap calories because Basically for $3.98 it's 6,700 calories Insane that's insane so one of those yeah, I just got one you know, it's high pro it has protein I know it says a great sugar. Yeah, that's what I was like I added honey to that so that you have like fantastic So that was 3.98. The loaf of bread would be toasting one If you warmed it up two times if you warmed it up it would be toast and you can and I can toast it So my total category was $22.68 for food how much? 22.68 yeah, you're even under me with way more calories and I have 23,740 calories for 22 22 dollars So that's about 7,900 almost 8,000 calories a day Which breaks down to like 1,600 a person per day Nancy, yeah, you got that covered good Well, and then when I think about like my youngest isn't pro like that's probably what she eats A day around there I'm gonna be hungry like I know that but I've done like I've done diets before where I had 1800 calories a day I so it's a weird thing for me like I do not do well without like drink You know, I need water like but for food like when we're on trips this is the last thing I think about Oh really? My wife's always like that's the first thing like that me too. Let's find let's find lunch Let's eat dinner and I'm like let's do other things and then we can whatever's left. I go on trips to eat at different places I'm getting more like where I get grumpy when I don't eat. Yeah, I can do pretty well Like I could probably fast through one of these days. Yeah without the food I just I can't do the drink it dry. I get go crazy without like water or something in my mouth Well, I'm just understanding that you know helps helps you make these choices That's where I went you know, it's like 1600 a day. It's not optimal. That's what good though for three days I should have done the calories because I bet you I'm probably more like 900 a day You have at your at least a thousand but the thing is you have tuna which is great protein Like you have a better like nourishing food, but uh me not so much I know I don't know I threw the tuna in there because I can eat it straight out of the can myself That's why I added two dollars of salt and pepper. Oh you did. Oh nice. Yeah. So I would just eat it straight Yeah, so let's go to category three then. So this one is called metabolic and morale boosters. Yeah, right? It sounds dumb to put in here because of all the other like more crucial things you need Yeah, but honestly for kids and being like why are we up here? Why are we doing this and for yourself? Like you really need those things that kind of like oh this is like a treat and yeah, you know just Like a comfort food, right? For sure So in this category, I wanted to do a couple of things The one thing I was thinking about was like how do I boost my hydration here in a way that can help and then also morale Right with a little with a few extra calories So the first thing I bought was the great great value electrolyte mixed berries liquid drink mix Man, I thought about the mix for like so many times. I was like the water would get boring. Yes But I have enough sugar otherwise So this is sugar free, but it's more of just like it's the electrolyte mix So like it just boosts your hydration like so one of the sip on and you get your electrolyte You get your electrolyte something to sip on it has some taste, right? But it is super cheap So like it was a 10 count of these for $1.98. Oh wow yeah So it's not a ton so like you eat at we need to get like two packets. Yeah for the next six days I've taken these on trips and half the box is still available after the You know, I mean, so it doesn't get used. Yeah, but I guess in the scenario It's one of those scenarios like you're sick of drinking water. Hey, I'll just throw that in there I'm also getting electrolytes, you know, yeah, it's very cheap The second item I only had two items in this category was the Life Savers Orange Breastment Hard Candy. Sharing is like a 13 ounce bag. - The orange ones? - Yeah. - Dude, it's, they're heart, they're orange mint. - Yeah, my wife. - She loves us. - She loves us, we'll just like, you'll eat one and you're like, I can't stop. - Oh really? - They're so good. - Yeah, I think I've had them before, but it was more just like looking at these, I needed like some sort of morale pick that's like individually wrapped. - They're great, that's a great pick. - And like the bags, there's 105 pieces in the bag for 497. So it's like five bucks, but each of them are 15 calories as well. - Yeah, that's right. - So when I, you know, - I've just, - I've got to tribute that out. It's 105 extra calories a day per person. So it actually gets me to more like 1700 calories a day. - That's good. - With what I have for food. And it's again, it's a, one of those things is gonna help. You know, you've got teenagers in the truck and hey, you're suck on this. - Yeah, yeah. - You know, and- - Yeah, the winner green ones are awesome too. - Are they? - Yeah. - Sugar free ones though, like- - Not so much. - It's weird because the crunch is different and everything. - Oh yeah. - I'm just saying. - Yeah, it makes sense. - It's the same with the orange ones. I've tried the sugar free, there's no, it's good. - So my category total is 695. I didn't spend very much on this. So I have 143 remaining at this point. - Yeah. - Okay. - I only had two items in here too. - Okay. - And mine were all just sweets. I went with the great value fruit, smile, snack pack. - Okay. - I got 10 pouches in it. 247 for that. - Okay. - And then I did the Kellogg's Pop Tarts Brown Sugar Cinnamon Protein. - We all like, like, that's, it's stupid. It's super unhealthy, but I still like Pop Tarts from awhile. - They're delicious. - I always peel off all the crap off the sides and just eat the middle part. Like all the powdery, like nasty flour. - I eat it all. I actually had one yesterday. - And it was the protein one. But they have a little bit of a weird taste the protein ones do. - Yeah, they're fine. - But I'm like, I'll do that in there. Little extra protein. And my kids like the brown sugar cinnamon ones. - Yeah. - So anyways, that was kind of that morale. And that cost, it was six, no, it was five, 98 for both. - Oh, nice. That's not bad at all. - Yeah, that's not bad. - Like I said, the category up above the food, I had a little bit of that. There would be morale boosting too, like the trail mix. - Yeah, me too. - They're with the cookies. - The cookies. The next category is power in charging. So most of you are gonna have a cell phone, right? And you could probably charge off your car. That was one thing, I understood that. But you don't, like I didn't know. And it was, I, this was a category. It was like, do I even need to fill this category? But I wanted to, because I wanted something to like charge phones, because it seems like when we're on a trip we're always looking for chargers or charging from the car. And not everybody has a port, not everybody has a cable. And you don't know, what if you have to ban in your vehicle? And that's the only source of information and or communication that you might have. - Absolutely. - I got, it was then on 5,000 milliamp portable power bank with a built-in USB cable. So it was like, it was all in one. - Sure. - So then, I wanted it had the attachment. So it can magnetize to your, your mag ring on the back of your phone. - Okay. - And it was seven bucks. - Okay, and that was the 5,000 milliamp? - 5,000. - Okay, great. That's awesome. - Did you beer one? - Which is funny. - Was it in the store? - Yeah. - But I wanted the cable built-in 'cause I didn't want to pack a cable around with it. - That makes sense. This one, I don't know if it has a cable built. So was that your only thing in that category? - That's the only thing I got my cable built. - How much was it? Seven bucks. - Okay. So again, I was thinking the same stuff. Like I assume that I can charge my phone in the truck. But also like when you get to the cabin, like who knows how much fuel you're gonna have to keep the truck rolling. But you also want to be able to just like charge in the cabin if you want, right? You know, I want to make sure that one of them is charged up. So I went with the on 10,000 milliamp portable battery with USB-C and USB-A ports. It was 1088. - That is not much more. - It's not much more. But I mean, they're pretty comparable. I mean, it's not like there's that much difference. But that's the whole thing. It's like, I know I have the Tacoma, like I could charge. The idea would be to charge this as well. - Exactly. - And then you would have that as you went. - And then you use your phone in the cabin. - And the cab, you can charge your pack. And I have another pick later that's also gonna help in this as well. - Okay, okay. - So that was the power in. That was 1088 total. So I have 98, 55 remaining before tax at this point. Category five is emergency shelter. So this was a weird one, right? - This was a weird one. I almost didn't buy anything. - Right, right. It's easy to, and I was like, maybe I don't need anything out of this. This was probably one of my more expensive categories. - Oh, was it? - Yeah. - The next one. - I just didn't buy anything. - Yeah, it was actually more expensive. - And I didn't on my first pass, and then I ended up with a little extra cash at the end. So I kind of came back and decided, it would make sense to have something just in case. - So I'll fill that later. - Yeah. So I basically just got the Ozark Trail Medium Dirty, a duty, duty, tarp. It's like an eight by 10 tarp. - Almost the same tarp that I had. - Is it really? I did the nine by 12. - Oh, nine by 12. - So this is $8.10. It was like $8.10 for this style. - Oh, wow, this is $10.18. - Well, yeah, that makes sense. It's like a two- - But it's reinforced heads, corners and ground. - Oh, great, great. - Yeah, I think so. I'd have to go back and look at it again, but the whole thing-- - The whole thing-- - You're going to a cabin, so you don't necessarily need a backup shelter, but you'd never know. And also you can use this like-- - There's so much use for it. - I mean, it's a coma. I could cover gear in the back if I need to. Keep stuff dry. It could be a ground cover if I end up somewhere, it could be a wind block. It could patch a bad spot in the cabin if I need to. Hell, it could put it over people. - I could parachute with it. Yeah, I mean, I could put it over people in the cabin as another installation layer if I had to. It was going to be annoying as hell, but you could do it. - Yeah, right? So-- - I had the same feeling with the tarpa. I was like, you can't go wrong with a tarp. Like, there's so many uses. Yeah, you probably don't need it in a 72-hour period, but if anything gets thrown at you, it's like you get stuck or you need to go out. Like, you actually have something to protect you from the weather. - Yeah, for sure. - I did the same thing. I did it. - I did it in nine by 12, 10 mil, it was $18. - Oh, it was like 17 something. I did round up on a few of these, so. - Wait, so, which one, you got one? Or what'd you get? - I got one Ozark Trail nine by 12 heavy duty tarp. - Oh, it's heavy duty. That's probably why it was so much more. That makes sense. - That's what I was like thinking. I'm like, how'd you get one for so many pieces? - Yeah, this is just a light one. I tried to go with a pretty big one, so I was like, if everybody's gonna be underneath it, - Sure. - And whatever else our gear to. - Yeah. - That makes sense. - I shouldn't have rounded up, but I did. - Okay. - It was like, you know, everything's like 10, 90, it didn't want. - Yeah. - Yeah. - So, that one I did. And then the hyper tough, I also got a paracord. - Okay. - Which, well, I know we've talked about paracord maybe being like a little bit, you know, over the top. But when I looked at like regular twine and rope, and I'm like, it has three different sections of rope and mic. And it was nearly this, it was like a dollar more. - Oh, my, that makes sense. - That makes sense. - I go with paracord. - That makes total sense. - So then I can use it to tie down. - Yeah. - I can use it for hanging things or clothes lining or whatever I need to use it for. - That makes sense. - So I did go with some paracord. - Okay, so that's your two items in that category. - Yeah, how much? - How much? - $5.25 and $18. So that came to a total, where are we at? I came to 30, 25. - Okay, great. That one, we were vastly different. - They combined my power bank in there. - Oh, okay. - So don't worry about the total. - Okay, no worries. Hey, if you're long. - I like that you broke it down, said this is what I got left. - Yeah, I had to do that for myself almost. - I kept running the whole total. I would have been like, anyway. - Hey guys, if you didn't know, electrolyte deficiency are imbalances. They can cause headaches, cramps, fatigue and weakness. And as people want to be prepared and ready for anything, the last thing you need is something that will slow you down when you need to be ready the most. That's why we eat casual preppers have teamed up with element. It is a tasty electrolyte drink mix with everything you need and nothing that you don't. We think element is perfect for bug out bags and you see kids, if I could have had element for that price, I would have grabbed it. - But I know. - Had to get the cheap crap. Element contains a science-backed electrolyte ratio, 1,000 milligrams, a sodium, 200 milligrams of potassium and 60 milligrams of magnesium.

So this one is called-- - Thermal regulation. - Thermal regulation. - So we're assuming we're in Utah, it's in April. It can get cold, but it's usually not like freezing. - Right. - And I kept thinking about this, since we have blankets at the cabin, we know that. - Right. And I guess I should have mentioned, I'm expecting a cabin that's been cleaned out for winter. It's not being used actively right now. So what do you have? Just some made beds, all your food and stuff cleaned out. Maybe some silverware and stuff like that. - So it's very, very basic. - But yeah, you do. You probably would have some bedding. - So my hope was just to keep as comfortable as we can on the drive and the trip and as well as staying at the cabin. Is it raining? Definitely possible. Is it snowing? Is it snowing? definitely possible. Is it 100 degrees? Definitely possible. All those were in Utah in the spring. You just don't know what you're going to get. So my first pick is going to sound very odd and it's probably could have went in a couple of different categories, maybe not thermal regulation. But I'll explain it. Great value. Uncented 13 gallon drawstring tall kitchen trash bags. 40 bags. Okay. I can see the use in that. Yeah. So basically, like, what if it rains or snows? I've worn many yeah, garbage bags for rain storms up on the mountain. So I thought about getting just like some cheap ponchos, but I couldn't get them for a great price. Like if it snows or rains. How much were they? I didn't even look. I was considering for one for oh for oh for the ponchos. They had the little sin ponchos. Yeah, they were it was like 10 bucks for like a pack of three or something. I can't remember. That was a weird number. Yeah, it's always a weird number. So I got the 40 trash bags for 648. That's good. So like it's really cheap like rain, like if you get soaked, you're going to be cold if it's 50 degrees, right? So you don't want to get get soaked, but also like trash bags are very useful. Like they're useful. So many different things that you can do with it. You know, you can cover up gear in the back. You can put wet clothes in there. You can collect trash, you know, sanitation. All that for padding, yeah, lay on it. Yeah, keep stuff dry, block wind, all that kind of stuff. So I just figured it was probably worth getting some you just put an our trash in. And truly, you know, we're going to have a lot of ramen packs laying around. Yeah, put those somewhere. So that's why I did that. That's true. Probably. Yeah. That would make a make a ramen blanket. Exactly. So that was 648. The second one is I debated on this one because it was a little pricey for what I got, but I kept thinking about my wife freezing all the time. So I got a hot hands pack, like a 10 pack of hot hands just because like, yeah, but like they're just so comforting, you know, and I have three young ladies in, they're always cold. Yeah, yeah. And so like if everybody can have a couple of these over the three days, it can be very helpful just to keep morale up. And I hate this. I'm cold. Hey, this stuff. So I wouldn't use any of them. I would be fine, but I would give them all to the ladies. Yeah, no. So those were 748. They were kind of pricey, but I kept going back and forth. I'm like, how do I keep people warm? I don't know. That's the one way I can trick you in. So that category was 1396 for me. And I have 7649 remaining. Nice. Yeah. I actually think that's a great idea. Didn't even I didn't think twice about garbage bags. So yeah, that's a different one. And it's thermal regulation. You probably wouldn't think about it from garbage bags. But so, you know, what is the most obvious thing you're going to think about with thermal regulation? I did not like the cost of this category. And this is where I went back and forth a ton because this cost me more than I wanted it to. Sure. But I felt I felt more comfortable knowing I could probably control temperatures better if I had them. Okay. So they're the only in our local warm aren't you can get these weight cheaper everywhere else. But they only had the Ozark Trail reusable emergency blankets. Oh, okay. Yeah. Sure. And you could get a two pack for 860. Okay. So I had to buy two and pay for an additional one for 460. So it ended up being 22. It's like 21, like 90 something. So for some emergency blankets. Yeah. So that was a painful and I like maybe I'm spending too much. And maybe this is pointless. But I do feel like with those it's like if anybody was cold, if you tuck that in with your blanket. For sure. You have a lot more control. The other thing is like you can cover windows with it. You can use it kind of like a tarp for that's kind of like reflecting or melting snow for water. Exactly. Same thing I thought with the trash bags. I could cover windows with them. Yeah. Yeah. So I did spend a little more than I wanted to on this category. It was $22 total for because I had to do for five people. Sure. Yeah. So it wasn't the most efficient way to pay. But that's what I got. That's great. Number seven is tactical illumination. You got to have some light. Got to have some lights. It's going to be dark. You don't know if you're going to have power at the cabin. You might have to be working on a vehicle along the way or you know maybe you have to bug out from that cabin for some reason. Not likely in the scenario. But that's I was like I had to think about those things. Sure. So what I went with and I didn't get a light for everybody. I only went with two lights. I did the Ozark Trail headlamp 500 lumens. Two pack waterproof, has batteries already. Oh cool. $12. Nice. And it has like all the different lightings. I was actually pretty impressed with what you could get for that little. I was like should I get hand ones? And I'm like two of us both parents can wear them. You know the kids get lost they get lost. Yeah. But then you could you know share it and use in the cabin stuff like that. That's what I would like. Okay. I also went with Ozark Trail, but I went with their LED combo kit. So they have a combo kit that comes with a lantern, a headlamp, two flashlights and two pen lights. What? Yeah. And it has batteries. I was like blown away 1597. Are you kidding me? No, dude. That's why I was available in our store is available in the store. I'll show you. Yeah. So this is what it looks like just so you can kind of see it's like a camping light combo. Yeah, pick up as soon as you get pretty freaking sweet. Yeah. So you have a lantern for the cabin. Yeah, that's even better. What I really wanted was like five headlamps because it just makes the most sense. But this way we have a lantern and then basically everyone else gets some sort of flashlight or a headlamp. I'd probably take a headlamp. What was that? What did it cost? 1497. Yeah. That's a killer deal. So I did not see that one. That's the thing. Like you have to like dig forever to find this stuff. So again, thinking about being there at the last second, you're going to be rushing. That's true. So even just like considering this, you probably get a better pick and another thing. Exactly. It's so hard, man. 150 bucks. You're all you're trying to cover all these bases. It goes fast. It goes so fast. Yeah. So that's what I got down to this point. I know. So that category total was 1597. I have 60 52 remaining and I still have three categories left. So that's where it gets kind of a little dicey. See, I was even lower than I think I had less at that point because I was looking at the price of these next things. Yeah. So category eight. So this is sanitation first aid in family hygiene. Yeah, it's like your medical category. Yeah. But make sure you include the hygiene, right? Exactly. So that's a long time to be around each other and not really get this shower. And I did. I went so simple and I might have, I should have probably put it simple too, but I think it covers most of our needs. Yeah, basically, I'm very, really covering the bases here. I just want to stay clean from disease and I want to be able to treat basic cuts and bruises. Like that's all I did. So basically I got an equate baby everyday clean wipes. Two four year wipes. 80 wipes. Oh, okay. There was a dollar 98 for 80 wipes. I thought I figured like 80 wipes. That's like, you know, for three days, that's quite a few. Oh, this is a different one. No, I got that same one. The eight wipes for baby everyday clean wipes, Alvar and Vitamany 80 wipes. Two dollars. Yeah. I did. I got that one. Yeah. Perfect. Because like, you have to have wipes. And, you know, obviously for your hands before you eat, you take a poo, all that kind of stuff, you need something. So I figured 80 between the five of us for three days, we would be close to being okay. That's all I got with that one. You know, it's not luxury. You're not like, you know, throwing wipes everywhere. Yeah. You don't have the big mantel. No, but you're getting through. So that's a buck 98. The second thing I got was like a Jermex hand sanitizer. This is an eight ounce, which is pretty big for hand sanitizers. Yep. And I figured, you know, water's limited. You can sanitize. You might not need wipes every time you could just sanitize before you eat or after you go to the bathroom or whatever. Because you don't want to burn through all that drinking water every time someone needs to clean their hands and all that kind of stuff. Yep. And this is alcohol based. You know, it's a fire starter as well. That's a good idea. So it's like a backup. And that was a buck 97. So I mean, I think with those two, I can pretty much stay pretty sanitized. Yeah. I would say so. And then my last one was a 50 piece ASR outdoor first aid kit. And it basically has just the basics for first aid. Yeah. Yeah. Bandages and alcohol wipes and, you know, stuff for blisters. It was like $10.99. So my total category. That's the equate one. Yeah. No, no, it was the ASR. Oh, yes, R. Okay. I looked at some, I went through 50 different first aid kits. It was so hard to find which one I went with, but it was 10 bucks. So for sanitation, my total category was 1394. Nice. I think I did okay there, but 4658 remaining. Yeah, no, that's good. I paid a little bit more here. 19 total. But this is so I picked the same thing with the wipes. I'm like they're just so useful, right? For your hands, for your body, keep yourself pretty clean, $2. I also went with the equate flushable wet wipes. Okay. So you've settled on. 240 wipes. Wow. And these are a lot nicer for your B hole. Yeah. So five pack for seven bucks. Wow. You can also use them to clean your body, whatever you want to. Yeah. And then I also added the equate manual toothbrushes. Oh, that's two simple soft count six count for dollar. Yeah, it's not a bad idea. So and then I was that the only thing? Yeah, no. And then the other thing I did was the first aid kit. I got the equate on the on the go first aid kit for nine bucks. Oh, that might be better than the one I got. So that total category cost me me 19, right through those extra wipes in there for mainly for pooping. And you got toothbrushes too. And I got some toothbrushes. I'm gonna use my finger I guess. You got wipes. Yeah. And you sure? Do what you gotta do. Yeah. Okay. Cool. I like it. And then next category is tools and or security. This was the last one I filled. Only with what I had kind of remaining. Yeah. Um, I, so this was tough. I looked at a lot of stuff. For one, you've got like one simple little knife on you. Hopefully that holds up with a flipper knife. Yep. But looking at all the different things, I ended up going with a hyper tough 1.25 pound camp acts. Okay. You move that axe. I went with an axe. Beautiful. Chop up some wood. Maybe some self-defense if I needed for. Yeah. That was good. With it. Um, it was 12.97. Not bad for a hatchet. It's not bad at all. And so, I think about that, man. I got a hatchet just in case I wanted to start a fire. Um, make it a little easier. Oh, well, chop up some wood. Yeah. Just do you have, do you have a way to my team? My next one was the Ozark Trail Lighter One Pack for a dollar. Oh, a $1? Holy crap. That's pretty good. It's one of those crap. They're not the good ones. Okay. You know, the little clicker ones. They probably would last to maybe start one or two times. Yeah. Because the big was more and I was like, I went, I, I had it on there for a time, but I took it off because I was like, it's just something more simple. Yeah. Hopefully it starts. Yeah. Man, that's a tough one. Like this category was really hard for me because I'm actually, I'm like, what can I get that was like meaningful that would help me with security. And I could not come, like I went back and forth. Like I thought like maybe I'll get you to get to mind. Well, I was like, well, maybe like security at the cabin. Like should I get like a door wedge that keeps the door shut? Or like these window alarms. I couldn't make anything work with this budget. Like the hatchet in between the frame and the door. So I've got the EDC knife is just going to have to be what it is. Okay. You're right. For security. So I got a couple of tools. I really liked your idea of the hatchet. That was a great idea. I went with some, like just some basic rope utility cord. Why you did get 50 foot a rope for 390 seven. You can tie all the things down. That's the whole thing. I'm like, tie window doors. Yeah. So I was like, I could tie stuff down into coma. You know, I could hang stuff up. I could make a clothesline or something if I had to. I could tie doors. Let's go to the jetty think about beyond the rope. You know, maybe I could make a trip wires with it. I don't know. Like I'm just trying to like for yourself is basically what I want. Worse comes the worst. I have 50 foot a rope for $4 or whatever. It's pretty useful, I suppose. It was $4 for the rope. $390 seven. For how many feet? 50. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Good. And then the last item in there, I got the BIC2 pack. The special edition. Yeah. Like a maxi pocket lighter. I just like, I got to start a fire. That's exactly. Yeah. But there are many ones. Yeah. But I have three days for two of those. I should be good. Oh yeah. Big one. I mean, go forever. Yeah. So I mean, you could split it up between, you know, people and I, if I need to cook, if I need to warm up, build a fired warm up, I don't have any way to cut wood. I have a knife. Yes, it's just going to have to, you know, break sticks. But I could get through it, I think. Yeah. So that category total was $7.69. So of $38.89. Yeah. Mine was $4. Basically $14. So went more with that. Sure. That was a, that was a tough one because I was like, that's a big cost. I'm like, do I need it? And I was like, it's not horrible. I kind of wanted it. It's not a bad idea because it's great. Like you said, for, you know, fires, but it's also a good self defense weapon. Yeah. I like it. Um, then the last category was communications. Yeah. So how do you keep track of what's going on out and about or communicate with your family, whatever you felt like you needed in this category? Yeah. I forfeited this category. Did you, oh, okay. Did you find something? I did. Yeah. Because to me, I was thinking, like, I have a vehicle. I, you got some radio stations on there. Yeah. Hopefully maybe pick some stuff up there. I have my phone. I don't know what the service would be if I was getting anything. Yeah. You know, it's a, maybe you may have been out of service, but I could go down and try and get some signal closer to town and come back. Yeah. Things like that. And I was like, I'll take my chances and not put anything in this category. So I went back and forth on this too. And I just like, I was like assuming like maybe I'll plenty of fuel. Maybe I don't. Maybe when I get there, like, I don't have a ton of fuel. So my Tacoma. Not wanting to sit in that. Yeah. I don't know. But I go dead. Yeah. And, and also I wanted to be able to get information and not have to get out of the cabin. If I don't have to, I could be in the cabin. So I did get an emergency radio. You did find one? Yeah. It's the NPEC emergency crank radio as a 4,000 milliamp battery solar hand crank. AMFM NOAA stuff, right? It was 2399. I didn't find one. Yeah. I think that's why I was in the 20s when I was looking. Yeah, it is. Yeah, it's in the 20s. I don't think I even found a survival radio. It was all these other things. Like walkie talkies. I'm like, I'm not paying that much. I thought about that too. Like I get two ways, you know, but I'm like, if we're staying together, I don't see as much in that. Man, you've got a survival radio would be nice because of weather, like being able to stay up on what's going on. Also, when you can go back, it has a flashlight. It has solar backup. I can charge phones off of it. I think that's worth it. Yeah. So it was 23 bucks. Actually, at the beginning, I had a cheaper one, but it was like, so it was Jane to do. I did find like, I guess I did. Jane to do. I guess I did. Jane to do. I guess I did. Jane to do. Well, I saw that they were higher price than I was looking at. That's the problem. I'm going to put my money elsewhere. That was kind of the problem. So I might be screwed. They got expensive, right? They did. I'm surprised they were that much, especially, I guess it's just Amazon. Well, if you go to Amazon, you can get them for 10 bucks. Yeah, good ones. Yeah, but I mean, good ones. Useful ones, I guess. If you want a good one, you're spending 80 bucks. That's true. 23, I felt a little more durable one. Yeah. Like 23 bucks. Yeah, that's kind of where it. So that's what my category was. That was good. 24 dollars. Yeah, I was like, screws, categories. Yeah. So at the end, I had $14.90 left for tax. How much left? 14.90. Left? Yeah. Really? Yeah, that was my tax. I had a couple of bucks left over. Well, that's pretty good, man. I might have two or three dollars. Which is actually good. Yeah. That was my thing. I'm like, should I go back and get more food? I'm like, I think I'll just leave a couple of bucks in my pocket. That's not bad, man. I need to go to paper. You can burn it. That's true. Yeah, good burn it. It looks like you need coins. Yeah. But yeah, a few bucks left after tax. So I'm just going to put that in my pocket and keep it for the drive just in case, I don't want two or three bucks. I had 58 cents left after tax. I had a lot of taxes. But again, there's so many different ways to do this. Yeah. There's a hundred different ways to do it. And I just think that going through the process is an interesting thing. It was, man. Thing. Because you start to weigh different categories. You're like, you know, I don't really think I would need that. And then it makes you think, like, what would I go through without this? Yes. The thing I decided not to do. Exactly. Like, I liked it. I thought, like, going through. And maybe realize our local Walmart doesn't have as much as I thought. Yeah, you never know, man. Like, they're good for the basics. Sometimes I'd get a price and then like I did it one day and then the next day I went back in and I was finishing and the price was different. Yeah. And I was like, it does fudge. So I had to like adjust. So, but yeah, I went down to the penny. Yeah. I think it's an interesting thing to do. I think it's worthwhile to think about it. And again, it tells you like, how much cash do you have on hand? Is it a hundred and fifty bucks? That's my biggest thing to think about. Yeah. How far, like, think about we could have doubled this list if you saved $300, which is doable. And yeah. And when you look at that, like on hand. Yeah. And 150 is like bare minimum. Like, you could see what we went through for 150 bucks is like, holy crap. If you don't have anything, like, if it was us now and we had what we have, you know, like that would probably all get spent on food. Yep. I was thinking, originally, I was like, where would you go? Like how would you do like a hundred dollar list? Yeah. You know, an Amazon type of shopping deal with time and being able to ship it, get you a lot more. It does. But locally with a hundred dollars cash, I was like, can't do it. No, you would just get food. You get food water. You get food and water. And then you would have to deal with the rest of it. Yeah, I'd be tough. Yeah. But I think it's interesting. That was fun. Yeah. I liked it. Go do it. And then I think about what you could do and why you should have a cash on hand. Absolutely. Also storage in a place that you're planning on going to. Exactly. That would have made things a lot easier. Yeah.
