Mike Mester is a logistician with an uncanny ability to store food successfully (pun INTENDED). In addition to training his family he is the first person on Doomsday Preppers to display interspecies preparation, having an army of dogs that could make Cesar Millan blush.
1. Rioting
Mike is preparing for civil turmoil caused by a worldwide financial collapse. While I have discussed the likelihood of a total economic collapse in the past, the notion of preparing for civil turmoil is a form of prepping which catches lots of different scenarios within it. The human aspect is probably the most unstable facets of an emergency condition. It doesn't matter what happens, if the infrastructure goes we will have 3 days worth of food items in the food stores.
2. Why it's best to learn to dance is before the prom
This was one of the most impressive quotes from the show and something which Mike has shown in over ten years of prepping. Steady but slow is the best route to take for most preppers, it's simpler for the budget to prep with time and persistence can produce great habits. Mike has utilized his knowledge of warehousing logisitics to arrange 3 rooms of supplies, sufficient for 2 years for 10 people.
Just one challenge regarding the setup transpiring is that Mester is expressing very little value for the shelf life of his foods. Although there is certainly a distinction between expiry dates and what might support life, there is no purpose to tempt fortune and let his meatloaf get rotten in containers. Food reaching the end of its life could be rotated out, keeping the stores fresh. Kellene Bishop had a great technique of doing this and if applied it could possibly avoid a major shock. If food items thought to be steady were not in edible state, it would be bad.
3. Family security
It was great to find out how prepared the Mester family was when it came to self defense. Getting each and every member of the family armed and all set to defend themselves is miles ahead of some of the other preppers we've noticed who depend on one or perhaps a few members to protect the group. With downtown Atlanta just forty five miles away, looters can be at their doorway in a few weeks if not days.
The addition of attack dogs is yet another wonderful line of defense against both armed as well as unarmed prospective raiders. The intimidation aspect of dogs is an intangible method to get looters to keep clear. Also in a team of individuals, no one wants to be the very first person to get their forearm chewed up. If things grew aggressive, it is much safer to lose a dog than a loved one if the worst would take place. Overall it is a fantastic line of safety; the inclusion of ten pups will make it better still.
4. Fuel Briquettes
Mike has got an excellent concept in the form of newspaper/foliage briquettes which can be used as a fuel source for fire. As someone staying in Canada I can?t discover why he would be worried about keeping the house cozy in Georgia however it?s a very good suggestion nonetheless. The truth that the idea originated from under-developed nations is interesting, the ways lots of people in those conditions use will not demand infrastructure thereby can be quite helpful to preppers.
