Hi, this is Troy. I practice survival skills, outdoor adventure, hiking, fishing, hunting and disaster preparedness plans. My wife and I love to go out in the wilderness to practice our skills and use our gear.
Me (Troy) reading by lantern light in my bug out camper
We often head out into the woods using a topographic map and a compass to find places where no man has gone before. We take whatever we can carry on our backs and head off into the wild for days at a time just to see if we can do it.
Both of us have a BOB (Bug Out Bag) and we practice using the gear often. If the grid goes down we will be ready.
But my channel is about a lot more than that.
I often review cool gear and products for hunting, fishing, camping and hiking. I am always improving my bug out bag and changing the gear I carry. Only the best stays in my BOB.
Reviewing survival rations in the field
The two of us also practice frugal living at home as well as in the field. We study the old ways and forage for wild edibles on our large homestead.
We prepare, process and preserve our own food. We look for bulk food deals which we can stock up on for emergency use.
Homemade MRE (Meal Ready to Eat) survival food rations
One time many years ago I lost my job and had to use my money to pay the rent rather than for food as I was looking for a new job. At that time it took me three months to find a new job. I was living in New York City at the time and the cost of living is very high there.
But I was a survivor and a prepper. I had months worth of food put away for just such an emergency. I was able to stay well fed on my preps while looking for work. Things worked themselves out and I never forgot my real World experience.

Eventually I moved out of the city and into the country. The day I moved a blizzard hit and buried my car under feet of snow. The snow also took out the power. I had just moved my gear into the apartment the night before and woke up to no heat, no water and no power. It took me three days to dig my car out of the snow and get a path to the road.
During that time I piled up the snow against the side of the apartment for insulation and used a little propane heater for warmth. Melted snow provided my water and my preps kept me fed. I was actually able to work as usual on the internet by charging up my cell phone and laptop using small emergency batteries for power.

I have lived through two devastating hurricanes in Upstate New York as well as many blizzards and power outages. My preps have always helped keep me comfortable while others suffered in the nearby areas.

I am a firm believer in being prepared for anything.

I notice you began to Power Down and Cash Out today Troy.
Does your electric power provider accept SteemCoins?
It's going to take a while to get the money from Steem to pay a $850 electric bill.
Or do you have zero intent to pay that bill?
Fail much?
"We often head out into the woods using a topographic map and a compass to find places where no man has gone before"
Now you think you're Star Trek???
Tell the story about how you lit a "survival" fire that burned down a national forest...
love the part where he goes where no man has gone before- in New York. That is so funny and sad at the same time. He considers himself a Louis and Clark type person instead of an idiot. He bought a wife from a third world country and forces her to pretend they are survivalists. Ask him about being evicted from his homestead( junkyard) because he couldn't afford the cheap rent. A survivalists is about the last thing you would call him, an idiot being the first.

Why does a person claiming to be 95% OFF Grid need to go into "survival mode" when there is a power outage?
Survival mode means having granola bars, a "happy" cup of coffee, and toilet water.
Here he is using his "Bedeiner Weiner" generator...
Please tell the story how You STOLE the name "survival jeep" from YouTube celebrity and former friend ManOfManyThingz.
MOMT has a video explaining this too!
Troy bought a junk jeep, named it the "SJ" then claimed he was going to build the best jeep never seen before.
Spoiler Alert: The red jeep never got off jack stands,
nor ran and made a nice place for mice to "survive".
I have never heard a bigger load of crap come from this guy's mouth.
This is nothing but B.S.
Troy Reid is a serial liar and a YouTube ebeggar
Yes. Troy Reid isn’t a prepper or a survivalist.
He’s a professional LIAR.

Firm believer in being prepared for anything??? Why did your garden DIE 3 times this summer???? You blamed it on frost. Why werent you prepared for that?
Since when is it called "bug out camper"? Dont lie to make you look good in survival areas. This is the same one who NEVER follows saftey in his videos! No eye protection, no gloves when using lye, no windows open when his infant is close by using lye, . oh same one who after his wife gave birth had her drag a solar washer through the yard because his knee " hurt". Great survival guy eh
@imraindrops. The bug out camper was only used for Storage once Reid sold the black Chevy truck.
Reid stored the wedding gifts and free stuff donated by suckers.
The camper was packed so full, that one day Melanie was inside it when it tipped over off of the jacks.
I hope he shows the videos when he tried to right the camper. Hilarious!
I can't wait for Reid to post the videos where he pretends to practice his "bug out" evacuation times.
Grab your kiddy duffle bag and coffee mug and go!
This survival stuff is such a farce.
The few videos he's made proves he doesn't know what the hell he's doing.
It's all about faking tag words and click bait.
He'll never show the illegal toxic garbage dump he ran in the back yard of that lady's house...
Fraud channel. Fraud acct. You buy this or scamming AGAIN???
why is it so hard for you to tell the truth troy?

@trtechtactical, @diyworld, @diy-electronics, @blogger101, aka, DBA Troy Reid, How do you cash out all 4 of your Steemit accounts?
That means you have at least 4 cell phone numbers and 4 email addresses, right?
Hey there
HI, thanks for stopping by :)
welcome! Looking forward to read more from you :)
Thank you
Hi Troy, nice to meet you. Welcome to Steemit.
I have featured this post in my weekly Introduce A New Steemian post HERE.
I hope it helps at the start of your Steemit journey.
Thank you :)
Welcome Troy :) We have a fast growing community of over 250 preppers/homesteaders here, so glad to see you joining too! Check in with @pennsif to find posts with links to the homesteader's discord channel and find a huge list of everyone here :)
I am with you on preparing for everything...we are the same...
@elew, Troy is NOT a prepper, hes NOT a homesteader, he's a poser.
Thanks...I am not sure who you are either...but I appreciate the effort.
Apparently it is dangerous to welcome people on steemit these days, trust people or believe anyone actually wants to do good things for others. It seems to fairly consistently get outed as a scam, no matter where it comes from.
@elew, I used to be subscribed to Reid's YouTube DIY Off Grid channel, but apparently I asked too many questions that conflicted with his scam.
Then one morning Reid deleted my comments (just like he's doing here) Blocked and Banned me.
Just like the others here.
So he plays the victim as well.
I will let you decide for yourself.
It won't take long.
Thanks for being open minded.
Thank you very much. I just followed you and read your latest post. I am here for the same reason.
I will have a look at your group :)

just don't expect any help with your channel from troy. He doesn't help anyone and only upvotes himself on his 4 channels on steemit. He stays in debt buying steem to try and keep his crap channels going. He is an idiot

@trtechtactical. But, But, You said just last week in the video
when you were making the rack to "Urgently" get the solar panels off the ground,
YOU said "I don't know how people can work out in the cold all day, I do and I'm tired".
But for the last 5 years you've been saying that when it's colder than 40F,
you work outside in just a t-shirt
because you can't handle the heat, but we never see it.
100% Welcome To Steem / Steemit UPVOOOOOOTTTTEEEEEEEE!!!
Hahaha
Peace ✌ & 💖 love!
Also following you now @trtechtactical, keep up the good work, hope to see your new post soon!
