    I am 70 years old & physically disabled, Im not afraid to die. If the end of the world happens you will find me sitting on my front porch with my bong & pitcher of Margaritas.
  • @Rayrockny
    It's 4:53am and I'm up watching this when I have work in the morning. That's the real doomsday.

    I was in New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina. Society fell apart in 24 hours. No fire department no police department no phones no electricity.. 24 houses and people were driving around in trucks with guns. 24 hours is all it took. Be prepared
  • My mom was a firm believer in the collection of seeds and I collect and store all sorts of seeds because she taught us to do so, and taught us from early childhood how important this practice is for the future of mankind and to pass this knowledge on to our children. She had grown up on a farm and possessed a tremendously wonderful green thumb.
  • 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
  • @LeanardWashington
    "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.
  • @NorthlandSLC
    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.

    The worst thing you can do in a crisis is lock yourself in with people you dont know.
  • @missesraisin
    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.

    Love the guy who included his dogs and his guinea pigs in his plan ❤❤

    I'd rather perish by the blast than live in a post apocalyptic hell
  • 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.
  • She has a years worth of food but can barely walk across the room!! Be physically prepared and fit in hard times

    Putting alcohol in the bunker is a mistake.

    Word of advice. If you are a legal gun owner. Do not tell the cops or give anyone your guns when disaster strikes like the gestoppo did during hurricane Katrina. They beat up an old lady and took her pistol she had in her bedroom. She was talking to the cops at the front door and as soon as she told them where the pistol was, they beat her up and stole her gun.
  • @Ed-ty1kr
    All the problems remain, because the greedy bureaucrats and industrialists remain in charge.
  • @johnrobi0
    When the government tells you to be prepared to go without help for several days, It'll take them months to get organized.
  • Preppers are admirable. Even if somehow no disaster comes, they still will have worked to grasp “the marrow of life” as Thoreau called it—the business of survival at the most rudimentary level.
  • @tychoshea
    Extremely thought provoking series of videos. We must be very careful with how we proceed in the next few years and do everything we can to reduce our consumption, especially with single use plastics
