We hope you love our video. Our family and neighbors loved making it. It’s a parody of Chuck Testa’s commercial that you can find on You Tube.
Here is the original Chuck Testa video so you can compare.

This was awesome. I totally want your homemade bread recipe!
Brittany Stoker · April 7, 2012 at 4:32 am
Oh my gosh. I do love your video. A LOT. Way better than Chuck Testa, even. Believe it!
I love your depiction of the dreaded “swine squirrel flu.” 🙂
Elisabeth · April 7, 2012 at 6:23 pm
I’m glad you liked our video so much. Swine-squirrel flu doesn’t seem that far fetched, does it?
michelle p. · April 7, 2012 at 4:36 am
I also admire your food storage!
michelle p. · April 7, 2012 at 4:37 am

You make me want to get out there and “just test” too.
Julie Dever · April 7, 2012 at 10:38 pm
Swine squirrel flu?…. I think I had that once.
Julie Dever · April 7, 2012 at 10:39 pm
You should teach “testing” classes in the community for sure.
Julie Dever · April 7, 2012 at 10:40 pm
Seriously that was an awesome video. I vote for you.
Lonna · April 7, 2012 at 11:28 pm
Great video!
Great way to draw people into prepping. It’s funny and fanciful yet very informative. And involving the kids should help other kids pay atteniton as well.
Thank you.
Michael · April 8, 2012 at 3:30 am
I’m glad you like it! Our kids love watching it. Our 2 year old Signs and says “Again” after I play it. We hope this is a great method for getting a preparedness message out there!
Kelli · April 9, 2012 at 4:34 am
Very funny! I loved it!

I know I’m leaving lame comments, but in all seriousness, what an awesome video.
Emily Deibel · April 13, 2012 at 5:00 pm
Beth–you win the oscar for this video. Your realistic reaction to an earthquake was so believable I feared for your unborn baby’s life. The polka dot pajama robe was a nice touch.
Elisabeth · April 13, 2012 at 5:04 pm
Thanks Emily for the nice comments. Alex thinks the earthquake part is the funniest in the whole video. He says, “Mommy silly.” Thanks for the five votes. Now I just have to get the other siblings to vote too.

Thanks for the great comments David! We love to keep our storage full, and use what we have stored.
Joel · April 21, 2012 at 8:30 pm
I love the video! The bread from the oven almost looked real!
Joel · April 21, 2012 at 8:31 pm
Now I know who’s house to go to in case of a disaster. lol
Joel · April 21, 2012 at 8:33 pm
I can’t believe you made a homeless kid do work for your video. I hope you at least gave him a good meal.
Joel · April 21, 2012 at 8:43 pm
Have you ever thought about the word disaster? The dictionary says that “dis” is a Latin prefix meaning “apart,” “asunder,” “away,” “utterly,” or having a privative, negative, or reversing force. And aster is Greek for star. So, putting those together, if our star, the sun, was torn asunder or suddenly went away I’d say we would probably have a pretty bad disaster on our hands.
Joel · April 21, 2012 at 8:45 pm
That sun oven was pretty cool. Where did you get that?
Michael · April 22, 2012 at 1:08 am
The bread was for real Joel. We ate some for dinner that night. I got my sun oven from Fivestarpreparedness.com. We plan to use it quite a bit this summer to bake stuff without heating the house up.
Jessica · April 22, 2012 at 1:14 am

Tiave · April 22, 2012 at 5:17 pm

Liz Woolf · April 22, 2012 at 5:32 pm
Even if we weren’t friends already, I would have spent all 5 of my votes on you guys because no one else’s compares. You really put heart and time into having a good time and showing what this contest is all about – regular people who are also preppers. Thanks for putting this together!

Will you teach me how to make that bread?
Melissa · April 26, 2012 at 4:15 am
Swine squirrel flu? Better grab my sanitizer.
Annie Hadlock · April 26, 2012 at 12:39 pm
Totally awesome!
Annie Hadlock · April 26, 2012 at 12:42 pm
I’ll see you next earthquake. 🙂
Annie Hadlock · April 26, 2012 at 12:42 pm
Let’s have a BBQ
Annie Hadlock · April 26, 2012 at 12:43 pm
Good idea, my family needs to “test” more
Annie Hadlock · April 26, 2012 at 12:44 pm
I want to test that oven with you next time.
Neil Petersen · April 26, 2012 at 12:58 pm
The testing is awesome.
Neil Petersen · April 26, 2012 at 1:01 pm
I loved the earthquake in bed
Neil Petersen · April 26, 2012 at 1:04 pm
The bread looks good, and makes me hungry.
Neil Petersen · April 26, 2012 at 1:06 pm
Is the swine squirrel flu a new sickness since the emergency?
Jen · April 26, 2012 at 2:08 pm
Fun! Cute family Mike!
Jen · April 26, 2012 at 2:09 pm
Cooking in a solar oven sounds intense. I’ve heard of them, but never seen them.
Jen · April 26, 2012 at 2:10 pm
Looks like a fun thing to work on as a family.
Jen · April 26, 2012 at 2:11 pm
Good luck!

Phillip · April 26, 2012 at 4:09 pm
I love it!
Phillip · April 26, 2012 at 4:10 pm
I thought the movie was cool because of the flying squirrel.
Phillip · April 26, 2012 at 4:11 pm
When I was scared when mom asked me to say “Nope, just testing.”
Phillip · April 26, 2012 at 4:11 pm
I also liked the part “Is that box baking bread?”
Phillip · April 26, 2012 at 4:12 pm
And the best part I loved was when Alex said “Nope, just testing.” It was cool.
Amelia B. · April 26, 2012 at 4:14 pm
I liked the singing on the deck.
Amelia B. · April 26, 2012 at 4:15 pm
I also liked the candy part when we cleaned out our 72 hour bags and ate the food inside.
Amelia B. · April 26, 2012 at 4:15 pm
It was fun to throw pillows at mom to practice the earthquake.
Amelia B. · April 26, 2012 at 4:16 pm
I liked saying, “Nope, just testing.”
Amelia B. · April 26, 2012 at 4:16 pm
I really like watching our movie over and over.

Well, somewhere in that great neighborhood, I’m sure. Or “por aí” as they’d say in Brazil.
