Mike Glover's Three Priorities to Handle Before an Election
November 7, 2026
In a video from Mike G., the channel lays out three preparedness priorities to handle before election day, arguing the bigger risk isn't an overnight collapse but problems that build over time. The focus is communications, stockpiling, and having an actual plan with people you know.
Key points
- Starlink as backup comms: Mike G. runs both an RV version and a home version, explaining that satellite internet can keep working even if cell towers lose power, and that a Starlink Mini is now available as a portable, man-packable option.
- Power it without the grid: He notes a vehicle's alternator, a 12V-to-110V inverter, or a lithium battery setup with solar (like his four-wheel camper) can keep a Starlink running since it only draws about 100-150 watts.
- Front stock and back stock: He recommends keeping everyday food your family actually eats up front, rotated every couple weeks, backed by a bulk supply in a closet, room, or container for longer-term coverage.
- Don't forget hygiene and medical supplies: Beyond food and water, he stresses stockpiling bandages, alcohol, bleach, and even a contagion kit with antibiotics, while flagging that these items expire and need periodic replacement.
- Build a real plan with your tribe: Mike G. says preparedness means knowing your neighbors, organizing a communications and activation plan, and building actual relationships before you need them.
Quick take
The video's strength is tying gear choices to a practical "slow burn" scenario rather than instant collapse, and the stockpiling breakdown into front and back stock is a useful framework worth borrowing.
