Part 2 of 5 - How We Handled The Texas Power Outage - How We Use Our Basic Preps

Video 2 of 5 - Authorities in Texas made the decision to do rolling blackouts. Had they waited just 4 more minutes, it could have brought down the system for months!

This video shows how we handled rolling blackouts in Texas. Please keep in mind that I was half asleep when I recorded the first part.

I do not receive any money or incentives from manufacturers for reviewing anything on my channel. I have been offered incentives, but I refuse to accept. I review things we buy ourselves and use… or sometime, don’t use.

Our water is now down to a trickle. Pipes are freezing and pretty soon the water companies backup generators will stop or things will break, no doubt.

The freezer you see is in use 24/7 with long term meat storage as well as everyday storage. We just moved some fridge frozen food to it and put fridge food outside so dont have to worry about powering the fridge.
