   Hi – glad the vid helped. I’m using the zoom H2 microphone – yes external mics are usually best unless you are positioned very close to the camera.
   Video’s to buy??

   This video really helped me very much nick!
   Thank you very much!
   I’m from Romania!
   Here in Romania people don’t give a poop for stuff like this but I do!
   I have a question,I really want to make great videos on youtube…but I have to wait for my parents to buy me a camera and I want to have great audio on my videos, what microphone are you using?
   Can you give me some advice on what videos to buy?
   I think that the external microphones like yours are the best, right?
   please answer!
   Happy new year!

   I understand that …
   I understand that our society and infrastructure is a LOT more fragile than most people are willing to believe or accept. We really are just a few meals away from becoming a third world country.

   Problem is, most people are far too comfortable in their homes drinking beer and watching X-factor to be bothered about learning from the lessons that the fuel protests, and hurrcaine Katrina taught us.

   If my video’s help to wake up just one person to this understanding, I’ll be happy )

   Rick, do you know something that we don’t? Why are we being shown these videos?

   thanks for the …
   thanks for the interesting advice @ 3:42, I never knew that. I always wondered why bottled water had a sell by date.. now I understand!.
   How about using glass bottles?, that would solve the chemical issue.

   I tell you what; for a guy who says he doen’t buy into all the conspiracy theories.. you’re prety well prepared for the things that some theorists are predicting!. I’m only teasing.. I completely get the angle you are comming at these subject from : ). Very good advice you’re giving, Sir.

   Agree – Sound is perfect on the original vid, but YouTube’s compression does things to it – quite annoying really.

    Excellent video. I store water in one gallon glass jugs. You can put them under the bed, behind the couch, up in the attic, in the garage, even outdoors in the backyard because it’s glass. The grocery stores sell one gallon glass apple juice. Never throw the glass jug away. Store water in it, and then just put it in the backyard and cover it with a tarp or something.

    what about using a renewable on the fly storage for fresh water. I have a little portable washer for small clothing items and what I do is have a tap that goes into a carboy tank that then I use to fill the little wash bucket. If drama strikes and ther is no water, I simply use that same stored water as drinking supply instead of washing. Since it has been in rotation the whole time it is alwayse fresh.

    tip. don’t use plastic milk bottles for storing water.
    the milk bacteria can never be fully removed and this could present a health risk

    Don’t forget …
    Don’t forget keeping a portable water filter/pump unit to hand. These units will filter out bacteria and virus and are often used on expeditions where there are some really nasty water-bourne nasties floating around.
    Useful for when all your stored water runs out. You can filter a muddy puddle on a farm and safely drink the results.
    Useful video by the way.

    I wish i lived in Norway. Sometimes we can leave the clothes on the clothes line for 30 minutes and its dry.

    That’s some difference. In Norway this summer and fall, we have been drowning in rain, and keep dry clothes under our beds. Not much sun here.

    i remember my old science teacher showed us how to take salt water (we live on the cost) and put it in a bin or something with plastic on top with a marble in the middle and a cup in the midle of the inside, so what would happen, the water would condensates on the plastic and drip down to the cup, and presto clean watter
