A Montana woman known as the "Housewife prepper" is helping millions of people get ready for emergencies and be prepared in the event of a natural disaster, conflict with a foreign nation or another pandemic.

The "Housewife Prepper" TikTok and Instagram pages were started in 2023 by Carrie, a California native who lives in Bozeman, Montana, with her husband, Colton.

Her first video was posted after last year's Chinese balloon incident when the high-altitude device flew across North American airspace. The U.S. Air Force eventually shot it down off the coast of South Carolina.

"I was like, oh my gosh, you know, this is a no-controlled situation. We need to start preparing for anything," Carrie told Fox News Digital. "We're allowing this other country in our airspace, like what's next?

Carrie and Colton said personal self-defense should be the top focus for those preparing for a potential disaster.

That lady looks cool. Wish we had more practical women like her on the islands. Life skills for surviving in the wild (including cold weather) are vital. Until an individual or family is confronted with a real life or death situation, they really do not have the proper perspective or skills to make it through the hard times. Imagine if we lost power for a week on the most populated island? Most residents would go bonkers, maybe raiding what remains at Costco.
One of the things we need to be wary about is where to store food. There seems to be a surge in the ant population here in Hawaii.

These little critters can get into almost anything. Due to higher rainfall, even the Opala recycle bins attract large populations of ants.
Watertight ammo crates seem to block entry by ants looking for crackers and other semi-dry foods. The most effective blocking "insecticide" is no longer sold anywhere in the US.

What are the alternatives? In a SHTF crisis, pest control could become a serious problem not too many people are prepared for.

I had an MRE accessory packet that the roaches ate thru to get to the pepper packet, which they ate to as well.  This was the accessory packet taht is much thinner plastic compared to the brown plastic that is also chemical resistant.
