Reporting on Doomsday Scenarios | 60 Minutes Full Episodes

I think knowing how to read a map, trap a small animal , or sew, cooking , basic human needs that most of used to learn in school or camping with our family. How to drive anything with wheels, or cleaning dead animals are just great to know. I wish our country still wanted kids to know these basic living skills.

"Prepping" is just the simple realization that 99% of people fully rely on convenience and society operating smoothly. Our little man made ecosystem is very temperamental. It doesn’t make you crazy to be prepared to be self sufficient for a month or two.

Our own government is doing the same, but no one calls them crazy.

Iv been prepping for years from the United Kingdom

Up until the late 1970’s, most people living in Portugal were “preppers.” They were peasant farmers, who grew their own food and most had no electricity or running water. Most didn’t have their own cars. They could survive for years without relying on supermarkets or utilities that were only sporadically provided and unequally-distributed by governments. I lived this life as a child. It only took one generation and moving into the E.U. (which had a vested interest in destroying traditional peasant agriculture, in order to open up new markets for its multinationals) to make the average citizen in this country completely dependent for their survival on the capitalist and industrialized system.

I had prepared a little bit before covid, when everyone was shut in, I was SO grateful that I did. That convinced ME that being as prepared as you can for what ever may suddenly come, is absolutely essential. Didn't have a lot of what I LIKED to eat...but I didn't go hungry.

It's 4:53am and I'm up watching this when I have work in the morning. That's the real doomsday.

Moving to hurricane country started me “prepping”, then came the pandemic, then the Texas blackout during the freeze. Mostly I’m ready to shelter in place and evacuate quickly if I need to. Natural disasters are becoming more frequent and intense. Being prepared for 3 days down here on the Gulf is insufficient, you need to be ready for a week or more without gas, operating grocery stores, cell service, power & clean water. I never thought I’d be watching prepper YouTube channels to keep up on preparedness technology and solutions.

What I've always thought was weird is our ancestors not too long ago always "prepped" by gardening, storing/preserving food, knowing how to build a fire, hunting, fishing, etc. Now before Covid, it was laughed at and looked down on. It is wild that grown adults would think it's okay to rely on strangers (the government) when they don't even know your name!

Let's not forget how important physical fitness and self defense is.

I'm 62 years old. This is one of the best, most articulate and relevant documentaries that I have ever watched. Excellent.

My dad's job was keeping the Federal Government employee families safe, cared for or evacuated. Mostly war related. We had far flung secret communities for training native guerilla troops and others more clandestine. I was raised to be his replacement. Well, in life changes occure. I married an American woman wanting me home to make babies with her. So I went into a safer career as a combat firefighter-advanced trauma and cardiac paramedic for a few decades. Many of our home educated boys went off into the United States Marine Corps. I retired, wife died, 71 years of wild adventures, training, education and real life dangerous experiences will die with me. Hopefully my children learned enough. 😊

What we call prepping today our great grandparents just called life. Preparation to care for yourself and family without government assistance in hard times. Settle down folks , it's just good common sense

The problem for city folk is that roving hoards might want you to "share" your stored food.

I was fully prepped for the apocalypse during the pandemic. Solar systems, water filtration, weapons...was kind of upset things returned to normal...I still think situations worse than the pandemic are coming

We had a house fire two years ago. We lived out of our go bags after loosing everything we owned. Thank goodness we had them ready by the door. Prepping isn’t just for collapse or community wide calamity, it can help us with individual emergency like a fire or loosing a job.

Katrina was a wakeup. An entire major city where total chaos broke out and no one came for days to weeks. The woman is right. The government may want to help but it is often overwhelmed.

Imagine a post apocalyptic world. Where all of the worlds last seeds, are housed in a place nobody can get to.

I'd rather perish by the blast than live in a post apocalyptic hell

Learning how to garden in Phoenix, AZ was a surprise. The shade cloths help the daytime heat. Irrigation was useful. Night was the problem. Over 100 degrees did not let blossoms turn into fruit and vegetables. Blossoms just fell off. Nighttime temps keep increasing.
