Why not? Are you suggesting that you don’t want others to know? If so, I wonder if that mentality contributes to the anti social behavior that some preppers claim society will devolve into
@@valthomas9786 Short of being part of a prepping club, you don't tell others because as the rule of law breaks down, you don't want to become a target. Preppers are realists at heart. Society is specifically the rules we all agree to live by with after the fact consequences. We don't murder people because we don't want to be murdered, not because of laws. Those simply punish after the fact and studies show the punishment isn't a deterrent. The point is that much of how things actually work on a daily basis all over the world are shared choices to cooperate. The problem in scarcity is that cooperation breaks down when it's needed most. We already know how society would cease to be the civilization we know and become not just anarchy, but a truly dystopian nightmare... more quickly than anyone can imagine. Preppers simply acknowledge the reality of that and prepare accordingly... not just with guns or food, but also bushcraft, gardening, fishing and a host of other skills. the truth is that most preppers will suffer the same fate as most folks, maybe just a little later as they either have underlying health conditions, didn't obtain a full survival skill set, overprepared in one area at the expense of others (too many guns, not enough food...too much food, not enough weapons... no legit bushcraft skills, etc.) or suffer an injury that cannot be solved without modern medicine. So, no. You don't want others to know and yes, part of the very idea of prepping is based on the universal acknowledgment that anti-social behaviors would begin within days if not hours.
Everyone was a prepper 100 years ago. People spend $80k on a car to drive 1 hour a day but spending $20k on guns, ammo, food, water, etc is crazy, right?
@@gooberguck7483 there’s an amazing number of 80k vehicles roaming the streets for a claim like that. Granted, many don’t own them outright, but the point remains. It’s not a crazy headspace to be ready for an unexpected situation to occur.
Many city folk have the plan that they will just leave the city. They are going to a place where they went camping. And then hunt and fish for survival. But we who live here have other plans. We will chainsaw down huge trees to block the road. We will put up a sign then shoot all who go around it. Stay away from our property city folk. We have earned this with our labor and hardships. If you want in, move here and help.
During the lockdowns we were fighting in the aisles over toilet paper - can you imagine the breakdown of society if the entire shelves were bare, there's no water coming out of your tap, no electricity powering your "essentials" like a fridge or heater or A/C, and no mobile service. I used to laugh at preppers before the Covid 19 pandemic - never again!
there are lots of wannabe preppers who go nuts when something tiny goes wrong and those I hate coz they r the reason why shelves are empty ... there's no need to have a shit load of toilet paper, noodle, rice if everybody behaves like u live in a social society ... which it seems theres none in the US ...
A prepper is just somebody that believes their life and their family's lives are their own responsibility and not the government's. Food, protection, water, etc.
Most likely! I just started a channel where I take trucks up into the bush and wreck em. Hoping to make a few folks laugh! Maybe Joe should move up here, it's amazing.
I’m sure joe honestly wouldn’t mind living and trading with Alex.. think of his mansion being filled with food guns supplies etc. he endorses and sells the food storage
I was always the “crazy prepper” in my group of friends. When the pandemic was just starting I was the first one they talked to about what to get to prepare. I was happy to help and even happier to be understood.
I always told people "I can think of worse hobbies" Lot of hobbies just waste your time. Prepping tends to pay off. And when it does all your friends think you're a god damn genius.
@@warriorfire8103 some of my friends spend their money and time on cars and that’s ok. I spend my money and time on equipment, food, and training. That’s ok too.
Same here, I always learn basic survival skills for camping and urban survival stuff. In Turkey when a coup attempt happened I was in my home at the 3rd floor winter garden with my gun, several knives, binoculars and walkies. I watched armed vehicles and soldiers barricading the main roads. Luckily nothing happened. And when the coronavirus was detected in China and in the news, I bought a gas mask and started buying food, hygiene supplies etc. All of my friends laughed. I said " You won't be laughing when the first case in Turkey reported. Then the first case in Turkey reported in news and my college shutted down just in case. I bought my ticket to my hometown because I'm from a town like the Siberia or Rocky Mountain region of America. ( My hometown is %97 forest but I was studying veterinary medicine in İstanbul ) Once again all of my friends said there is no need for that but I thought '' Time to bug out and bugging in my safe hometown where all of my family and preps were there.'' Then the outbreak started and lockdown started. All of my friends was feeling bored and isolated at their small apartments in İstanbul but I was firing the grill with my family, iced tea in my hand, eating fruits, vegetables from my garden. The world didn't end but I had a very quality time with my family after a long time ago. Survivalist mindset is no joke, it's beneficial for living in comfort while other people freak out for basic things like toilet paper.
I started prepping because I grew up poor and we didn't always have food. People don't realize how many normal looking kids in normal looking houses may not be eating. Everyone goes through the seasons of feast and famine. So I'd rather stock up during times of feasting because I know the bad times are real and often inevitable.
I was stuck in the Texas deep freeze driving truck. By the second day the truck stop was out of fuel. Day three, no water of any kind. Day four, no food in there and my fuel was at a quarter tank. Most people don't realize how close that got to ugly. It was one day away for me.
My grandparents' generation in Eastern Europe, who lived through WW2, were all preppers. Every family had a cellar full of preserves even if living in an apartment building in the city. A small garden just outside the city (dacha) was super common for growing your own vegetables, roots etc. Everyone had supplies. That's what helped live through economic and social collapse in the 90s
Those that make fun of prepping have not lived through something like hurricane Katrina. I did. We didn't have clean water for 2 weeks. We drank from the creek bathed in the creek. We ate fish squirrel rabbit and deer. You will be thankful for what you can get your hands on when the shit hits the fan. To tell how weird that experience was, I seen a bream fish stuck in the side of a tree. Literally this fish went into the tree. I seen a traffic light on the side of the road. The nearest traffic light was 8 miles away. I watched pine trees twist and snap like a twig. Then came the humidity. It was only 97 98 degrees most of the time which is nothing in south ms but when u add 100% humidity you can barely breathe. People were fighting shooting and stabbing each other for gas for their generator. We hid our food so no one would try and steal it. People were putting small push mowers beside folks generators so they would still hear a running engine and then steal the generator. Lots of folks got shot for stealing. Long story short not all preppers are crazy people.
I find first hand experience like yours interesting root. What else did you learn? what did you wish you had more of? These real world accounts are very valuable lessons for us all.
I went nuts buying cans, propane and water for that storm. I was called crazy by my family. But no one thanked me when we used all of those supplies for 2 weeks.
People who think prepping is weird are living with 20th century American normalcy bias. Even the lower class here live under better conditions than most royalty, let alone the masses of humanity, throughout human history. In their minds, tomorrow and every day after includes running, potable water at their fingertips, plumbing, electricity, HVAC, vehicles, jobs, and a working society with the veil of civilization in effect.
@@StudioCluiss Yeah it would.. I have a single small chest freezer and it's lasted a few months for my family. I bought chicken in bulk at the beginning of this covid 19
Back in my 20's and 30's, when friends got married, I gave 'em 55 gallon coolers. My wife thought I was a nuts. But friends that lived through a hurricane and 9 weeks without electricity wrote the nicest letter... ;p
Awesome those of us who have had to use our preps before understand the importance of being ready if you dont prep the basics your letting your family down
I have been teaching preparedness for years. Everyone needs to be able to make it through 2-4 weeks for sure. Anything above that puts you better than 99.9% of the public. I get paid to think of preparedness and odd things we may have missed in disaster planning for my organization. Doing disaster planning, living in the New Madrid zone is very eye opening.
Being from farm culture, we are the 1st preppers. We plan for 1 year at a time. It’s a daily life style. We farm fields, have a family garden, a root cellar, we raise animals, we have fruit orchards and berry bushes. Self sufficiency at its finest.
I hope part of your preps include protecting those preps, from gangs of raiders. Get LOTS of armed friends to protect your commune. One family will fall within two weeks. You will need at least double the number of people you think, after thinking about it, because sleeping in shifts cuts your work force, and protection force in half. They will come with IR googles, multiple vehicles, grenade launchers, suppressors... loud one night, silently three nights later, the whole thing. They will test you first, then let you exhaust yourself after days or weeks on heavy watch, then come for you, when you are all exhausted - in full force. You need a community, not just a few families at your commune. You will need to anticipate moraless, and trained people in groups. The worst parts of the Bible.
Not a bad idea to be prepped. Many governments say you should have a kit for 3 weeks to a few months time incase a huge disaster happens and FEMA can't help. But there are some crazy prepper people who are straight up insane or stupid. They look at every detail in the news or crazy conspiracy ideas and think the world is coming to an end next week. There is this guy in Horning's Mills Ontario, Canada. He buried a bunch of school buses and made a bunker. It was subsidized by the government and people reserved spaces. If you ask him he will gladly show it to you. Decades after the cold war the busses are rotting away, there is a layer of soil on the ground, and his soup turned black, yet he insists the bunker is ready to go and eats the black soup. lol. I'd take my chances on the surface or just go to some of the nearby caves.
@@jimromer4403 they call people who question 9/11 or the BS weapons of mass destruction crazy! In reality they are the crazy ones... they question nothing and walk around like zombies and they never prep for anarchy, there not only stupid but there insane.
I live in Hurricane Central also known as Florida. I've been a prepper my whole life. You have to be. Before the storms come, the stores are emptied out. After the storms come, there's no food, no power, nothing to be had. You have to be self-sufficient.
@@elizabitchr.2835 fortunately we are okay had a few trees come down, lost power for a few hours but I have a generator. People south of me got hammered. It's devastating.
My family laughed at me for being a prepper. They laughed all the way up until everyone start freaking out about Covid. Some of them have actually apologized to me
Yes prepping pays, literally. My family had stored foods meats supplies for years, but it in bulk on sale, when prices go up im not paying more for meat supplies etc..
Same here lol i even called mu family weeks before the lock down when i first herd china was lovking down citys n told them it was going to be a big deal and they laughed at me then 2 weeks later there calling me n telling me to make sure i get extra food and stuff lol n this is two days after the TP was out n stores were bare they been laughing at me for years then they were asking me for masks lol
My wife called me crazy and still thinks so for buying storable food and ammo, years ago. I told her I just want to be able to survive if it gets to the point that there is no food to be bought (saw that in 2020). One who fails to plan has a plan to fail.
@@michaelmcnulty7520 Sazza makes a joke, and you reply back with that sick in the mud comment? Thanks for your helpful imput. Im sure we are all better off because of it....
My dream finally happened I moved off grid December 2019 before covid. Debt free, money and metals saved, excellent credit and definitely prepped and prepared pretty good. Been prepping since 9/11.
"A lot of the preppers are not anxious at all. Because they have a plan. Those of us who are anxious are the ones who don't have a plan." -that's gold right there.
The preppers in Texas during the freeze really won on this one. I know people that did not prepare anything for the freeze. No extra water, no extra food, and not even wrapping their outside pipes.
I drove over to dallas from pensacola to help during the freeze and it blew my mind how unprepared everyone was. As a floridian we always have a month or so stashed away for hurricane season
@@mcdabberton4147 People in the UK are in an even worse state. Many cannot even defend their home. During the riots of 2011 the people had try and defend their property with bins, brushes and bits of wood.
@@mcdabberton4147 I was one of those people who thought "pff, big deal, it'll be a little chilly out." Then everything froze over for a week and the power blew and I had no canned food to eat :(. I remember power coming back on for about an hour and I was able to fry some ribeye in that time.
I'm a Texas prepper. I supported 9 people during the freeze. No stores, no water, no electricity. Somebody has to do it. I enjoyed it. It was a good shakeout. We had food, water, wood heat, natural water source, etc. It was fun, but Preppers know more than anyone how unprepared even WE are for a long-term disaster. I'm not prepared and I grow over an acre of food, have over 1000 pounds of stored goods, have milk goats, etc. The math is daunting. A human being eats 750,000 calories per year. I have 7 to support. That's close to 5 million calories of food. A can of green beans is about 70 calories total. We have to work to know how to not only store food, but how to grow grains, potatoes, squash in bulk.. 1000 lbs of potatoes is only 400,000 calories. That's only 6 months for ONE person... 1000 lbs. Most "preppers" aren't prepared. The absolute volume is amazing. Hopefully it'll never be needed.
Everyone who lives in FL who doesn't do the most basic prepping is considered a fool. No conspiracy here, we're all aware of what it's like when the power goes out, and everything is closed. It happens every few years, at least.
Yeah my ma always kept butane tanks and gallons of water and thought she was crazy since we hadnt had a hurricane in 13 years and bam next year we got hit by small boy danny
I was raised by military parents. We were avid campers. But the reality of being prepared should not be compared to what the doomsday preppers do. But when the pandemic started and people were out of work for 1 week, they ended up in food lines. There is always a catastrophe out there waiting to happen . Being prepared is the only answer.
exactly you can prep all u want with ammo and toilet paper cans of food etc but what happens when ur ammo runs out and all your supplies lmao. people need real hunting skills and ability to defend themselves. cans of beans aint gonna save us, ability to hunt an create campfires/shelter will
Growing up in SW Florida, it was a must to be at least a little ready each year before hurricane 🌀 season. It happened every year so it didn't take long for regular residents to learn. The store shelves are empty 3 days before the store hits. the next round of truck are not showing up again untill the stores are open for business again.
In January 2020 I had been listening to smalltime news personalities on TH-cam monitoring what was happening in China. Being a prepper myself I understood what I was seeing there was coming my way really quickly. So I decided to flush out my preps a bit more. I went to my local food market and bought a shopping cart of canned goods since they last almost forever. While in line a young lady my age laughingly asked "Whats up with all the cans?". At that moment I told her "Its just for my pantry that is low" in order to not sound like a crazy end of the world lunatic. I look back now and regret not telling her the truth of what was coming our way and that she should at least restock her kitchen. At that moment I had been more worried about not looking weird instead of trying to let others around me know the danger we all faced. The extremely negative stigma of "preppers" is what made me keep my mouth shut when I could have possibly helped others around me. I truly regret that moment.
Right?! And what's really scary is how we all will manufacture our own downfall. In a capitalist society we hafta stand on the economic backs of less fortunate nations but now we've gotten so used to just going to the store that we are weaker as a species
You’re a monster! But in all seriousness you were right to have that feeling, bc she would have thought you were crazy and may have even laughed in your face. Don’t beat yourself up
My friends make fun of me at times for having a packed freezer. A few weeks ago, we lost power for 3-4 days. My freezer remained cold and nothing thawed. 💪💪
One thing I learned as a street cop for 33 years is most people live in their own little bubble world and the shit never hits the fan for them their whole lives, but when it does they have no plan and no chance. These same people think the government will be there for them but what they don’t realize is they are on their own and you better be able to survive without assistance. At minimum you need to store Food, water, weapons, ammunition, medicines, and a way to pay for things other than paper money or electronic currency. Having silver, gold etc. None of these things are items you wouldn’t use anyway or would be bad investments.
Most people won’t care about silver or gold when they need food, prioritising prepping equipment like fishing rods, baits & traps, hunting rifles, bows & arrows, etc… will put you in a much better position than those who invested in alternate currencies
@@justadummy8076 Yes your right but precious metals have always been worth money throughout time. Ok if we take the ultimate dive and we are just fighting for food and water then the precious metal I want is lead, as in ammunition. But if it’s semi civil and we are in a temporary setback say no grid for a while or a depression like 1929, I want something more than paper money or digital currency. And fishing equipment etc won’t help if you’re fighting for your life. You better know how to defend yourself, An AR-15 and a 9mm high capacity pistol and 12 gauge shotgun are the minimum I would want. Unless your in area with big game your more likely going to be hunting small game and protecting yourself from two legged predators. Being a prepper isn’t enough Chief you better know how to fight with anything and everything.
@@craigthescott5074 I was just listing random stuff off the to of the dome of things to get before worrying about currency. In all honesty, you probably don’t need a shotgun AND a rifle, you’d probably be better off with an AR as it can serve multiple roles at once, from self defence to hunting. I was just saying that when SHTF, survival equipment will be more valuable immediately than currency, & thus should be the focus of an immediate prep, and then spec into alternate forms of currency.
@@justadummy8076 Yes would agree if you could only have one gun a good AR-15 would be the best bet. A 12 guage shotgun has advantages up close and there’s ammo everywhere, also the diversity of 12 guage ammo is nice too. From slugs to bird shot it’s probably the best survival weapon.
imagine going back 500 years and telling some dude with a bow that in 500 years we have arrows that can destroy the whole world in a matter of minutes.
If you were in India, then they'd believe you and reference their ancient texts that describe literally a powerful bow and arrow that could level cities [edit: and home in on targets] being wielded by one of their gods.
I’ve seen how quickly it devolves multiple times over my 33 years, and I will say, every time it seems to speed up in terms of the initial phases of disordered to no food supplies and subsequent looting. From multiple hurricanes, especially hurricane Katrina where violence and looting started extremely quickly, to being on a fishing trip in Venezuela at the start of revolution and social disorder. Being prepared and having a plan goes a long way.
Not long ago, one of my grandsons asked, Pop, how do you know so much and how to build and fix things. I told him it was the norm when I was a kid for our dad's and grandfathers to teach us, and that is why I tried to include you in projects when I could. ( We lived several hundred miles apart sadly, so I didn't have much one on one time with him). When he got married I bought him a full tool set for Christmas. He looked so disappointed when he opened it. Heck I still get a thrill every time I get a new tool or gadget.
Million Dollar Idea: canned rabbit raise rabbits in a way you can harvest their poop clean. (urine free) can the meat in jars just like vegetables....and handle it like a drug dealer....give away one quart to every customer, and they will *ALL* be back for more. domestic rabbit is a delicacy....so good, so tender. fat free and that poop is some of the best organic fertilizer on the planet.
We live in Houston where every responsible person would be prepping - because if it isn’t a hurricane or a tropical storm or just a line of thunderstorms on tax day it will be a winter storm or just a broken water main on a clear beautiful day that takes a week to repair, but regardless of the cause it seems at least once a year we have some event that cuts the power and water for a few days. So be responsible and just be prepared with some food and water to make it through.
I'm in Austin and can't imagine where else Joe would move here? I call it "New Austin". Town mottos were "Keep Austin Weird!", and "The Live Musical Capital of The World!" when I arrived in late 99'. Very diverse! Not an attraction for poorer musicians these days. Previously Austin was a "Mecca" for great, younger musicians. No money? You could get by here on a small job and rent, and progress your playing, even out on 6th Street. Artwork w/spray paint, 20 people watching him do his thing, then sell them for a great deal, but he was quick, as well as very creative! Apparently, they're "hiding" the comedy clubs? Some of my favorite "Tales of The Trip" video excerpts really blew my mind! Many great comics here still! And I believe we have the worse Mayor in The US. It's gotten much to large, to fast. No one questions our Mayor about not doing what he ran on, but his prediction of what would happen if he didn't do these things he promised, has become more true. A County wide scandal? The press will not question leaders on their total fails. PLEASE COME TO AUSTIN. IT'S VERY GENTRIFIED, SO DON'T BE A MATTHEW MCOUGHNAWAY, HE'S TURNING INTO THE ANTISETHUS OF THE ORIGINAL AUSTIN. PLEASE COME HERE JOE! IT'LL BLOW YOUR MIND! YÓU COULD REALLY INFLUENCE FOLKS! THAT SEEMS TO BE YOUR FORTE, AND IN A SIMPLE, VERY NOTICEABLE WAY! GREAT JOB JOE! ALWAYS GETTING BETTER, AND IS GREAT BECAUSE OF THIS. HELP AUSTIN PLZ? YOU'LL MAKE A BIG IMPACT OF POSITIVITY! THE JOKES COME EASY HERE, AND IT'LL GIVE YOU EASY, HILARIOUS, SERIOUS IDEAS. THAT'D MADE MY DAY! COME TO AUSTIN JOE! THANKS FOR ALL THE KNOWLEDGE! AND IMPORTANT INFO!
I was under a military occupation for a while, and my first thought was "I'm a foreigner, once the food starts being scarce I'm the easy one to come take everything from". Things get real very fast, knowing what to do in those situations occupies no space!
My family has always prepped to a point. We always have water bottles and toilet paper and extra food. I’d say we can live for a good month or two before running out of food. When I live out on my own, I’m definitely going to keep the practice alive just in case.
Everyone should prep for at least a week, so you can wrap your head around the circumstances. Most don't have the means to prep for survival, but you can prep for a minute to get it together and give yourself some mental comfort and go from there in an event or something.
I'd say a week is a pretty good, realistic minimum for most of the country. You're unlikely to see a disaster that extends longer than that. Hurricane country is a bit different, but they've already been doing that.
I went to visit a cousin of mine for two weeks and bought a few boxes of pasta and other pantry staples the first day I arrived. She was so surprised, even trying to talk me out of buying “so much” because we could always just go back to the store again. Months later, Texas had their energy crisis: no power, no water, no food in the stores at all. Her and her fiancé had nothing to eat for weeks other than junk food and sweets from the convenient store down the road. They had no backup food whatsoever.
@@redrustyhill2 Most people are very stubborn & set in their ways, the fact that they ended up being fine & society managed to get themselves back on track, they will likely slump back into their old ways with the belief that everything will be fine
@justadummy8076 yeah, it amazes me how little food most people have at home and the quality of what they keep on hand if they do have any stockpile. It's mostly junk food. Crackers, cookies, cereal, chips. Most people would have nothing to eat after 3 days without resupply.
@@redrustyhill2 Most people simply aren’t capable of imagining an apocalyptic situation and are generally unaware how quickly a civilisation can devolve. Do you think in the end times of Rome that the populace thought Rome would fall & prepared themselves adequately? Probably not…
I clicked this expecting to hear something about how Chile peppers effect your psychology. I saw this guys mustache and just assumed he was a pepper expert.
I grew up prepping, lol lived in a tent for 3 months at 9yrs old ,Winston Montana amongst other states and places, combat vet, the forest is my safe place
Joe is semi prepared to the point that the power is out and his generator consumes all of his fuel. I find it slightly dumb to invest in 3-4 commercial freezers for meat when they can be replaced by canning the meat and it will require no further power to remain shelf stable. It will also last much longer in storage than frozen meat.
Conspiracy theorists and peppers have been the only ones that have been right about anything based on empirical evidence after everything we’ve experienced over the past two years alone. People that make fun of preppers and conspiracy theorist’s are absolute idiots at this point because the only difference between conspiracy and fact is six months anymore
One "conspiracy theorist" has the equivalent I.Q. of 1,000 normies combined. These "non-conspiracy theorist" types are made to be removed from the genepool. They were born to go away.
@@alexandernewton5853 Those are false flag conspiracy theories used to discredit & stigmatise the label of “conspiracy theorist”, no one wants to be associated with flat-earthers, but believing in flat earth has nothing to do with believing in the involvement of the CIA & “Is Real” in the assassination of JFK
Well, I've seen some restaurants shifting their service to home delivery by changing their kitchen menu so they can be packed and delivered right in front of people's doors.
Well that was normal even before the pandemic. Actually the pandemic diverted a lot of government money to bailout struggling restaurants that just took the support and closed up anyway. In any case we can still survive without them and eat at home.
I stay prepared. I have enough food, toiletries etc...to last us a year. Thankfully I am because in 2020 my husband lost his job of 32 years. We were able to navigate till he found another job because of our preps. We went through almost all of it but at least we had it. I have been steadily resupplying it. You should always be prepared for anything.
I guess compared to his income level. Aside from the 2,000 pounds of meat and the freezers needed for that, a backup generator and a few years worth of rice and water would be easily doable for a middle class family and would mostly fit in a closet (you'd need more space than that for the water). He could afford to design and build a custom underground doomsday luxury bunker, but he has a closet full of dry rice and pasta, a backup generator, water, and the meat from how much he hunts.
@@poindextertunes It needs to be de-fatted (boiled with the fat skimmed out of the water), dehydrated and vacuum sealed in mylar with O2 absorbers, or in 10 years, that meat's going to be inedible, frozen or not.
Guys just go on a $13,000 4-day guided hunt and shoot you a 700lb elk for your warehouse full of muscle cars and commercial deep freezers. C'mon guys, what are you waiting for, you gotta be prepared for the apocalypse...
The point is even if you got that bread you can hunt for 34 fucking dollars all day long in the us lol. Save the money for more hella guns or a sherp and a Jeep wth a car dolly attached.
I'm not an extreme prepper but when COVID hit I had 300 n95 masks that I really didn't need that bad but I had a friend who's immunocompromised and was able to get him what he needed to stay safe. We also didn't need to change much with our food, we had 6 months of tp, ect. It just reinforced reasons to have a few things on hand.
Joe is a closet-libertarian that can't shake the feeling of needing to vote with "empathy" i.e. for the progressive left. Unfortunately the Left is infested with filthy Marxist radicals and voting with or for them will achieve exactly the opposite of that which Joe seeks. Texas has become Elysium for Californian "conservatives", not realizing that they will eventually change the culture of Texas as well...
@@snow6094 you have no idea what you are talking about. Joe Biden voted in some of the most left wing regressive (not progressive) things in this country. Look at his administrations obsession with transgender. Look at the racial separation in the military. Look at rise in taxes for wealthier people. Look at his love of more restrictions for pandemic that we don't need. Tell me 2 conservative things about Biden I dare you that involve things he supported while in office.
My parents lived through the great depression. They kept two-month worth of food in the house. They taught me to be prepared. Have the proper tools. Have enough dry goods. Have enough canned fruit. Have back up medical supplies. Of course, guns to protect your family.
Lol. I am in charge of seafood at my local grocery store. At the beginning of the pandemic we had no idea what the lethality rate of the virus was, only the hype and fear we heard. In the end we all agreed we would die at our store, because if we, and all the people like us stopped working, than, realistically everyone would die anyways. Fear is for people who's jobs don't matter.

I like how preparedness is viewed as crazy. Learning how to be self sufficient is a great thing that could not only benefit families, especially in times of strife, but also is humbling. Humbling in a sense that you start to realize how much nonsense we buy and rely on but don't actually need. When you strip the human experience to the essential life sustaining properties you need to survive, you might start to rid yourself of the less essential.
Its unbelievable that is considered crazy because we have been prepping in some sense for all of human exsistence. Its in our nature as hunter gatherers. I mean then again we are in a world where people would rather be on twitter than learn basic life skills. While me and you are going to thrive when shtf, 98% of the population is fucked
The 'masses' want everyone to think like them. They want you in the same position as they are if the unexpected happens. If you prepare, they ridicule you because they actually know they should as well, but it's easier to ridicule you than to make the effort and investment to be prepared. Believe me, these are the very people you will need guns to protect yourself from if disaster happens.

Who's watching this in 2022, thinking: "I was sitting on my couch with my feet up, drinking a beer, watching people beat each other for a roll of toilet paper"? I did. I'll never forget the day my wife and I were watching that news broadcast, me slowly turning my head toward her with a smile on my face, and her saying "Don't even say it." Funniest four words she ever said to me. Well, besides "is it in yet", but that's a whole other thing....
Ever since this covid flu I realized that prepping is necessary. Look at how weak our infrastructure is. The amount of panic over a flu that kills less than 1% is insane. Imagine indeed if it became 10/20%
It's not the fatality risk that's scary it's the long term effects that's scary and you gain no natural immunity once infected and you can catch it multiple times so each time you are basically playing Russian roulette and each trigger pull you'll either get nothing or you die or you get serious long term health issues that progressively get worse over time. It's not worth taking the risk man
@@xMrjamjam If we look at the last Corona virus, SARS, they found that immunity lasted 3 years without being exposed again. It's just another virus, which mutates to prevent immunity but gets weaker with ea h mutation. Our bodies are amazing and designed for this, don't listen to the bs you're being fed.
Toori Baba Nah you still gotta prepare for that too. Mentally not physically. You gotta because accepting and letting go of the things you cannot control.
My prepping experience started about 30 years ago. I live in Texas, tornado alley. I initially nought a few things for that type of scenario. I was young and single, in an apartment. By the time I got married and started having kids, buying a house etc... I built up my preparations to suit that dynamic. From the late 80s, I was aware of people like Yuri Bezmenov... and was waking up to the kind of threat he was detailing. I understood the wealth transfer out this country, to the elites was happening. I remember Chinese firms bringing workers over, dismantling steel mills, and physically moving them to China. I understood how destructive NAFTA was. I saw the eternal wars kicking off. There was Ruby Ridge, Waco, Unabomber, etc... Watching government response to these, and how narratives were being built around them...Hearing the term "political corretness" for the first time in 1992 on Nightline with Ted Koppel, and immediately seeing that it was just a rebranding of Cultural Marxism, and knowing what was in store... 9/11, WMDs, the war in Yugoslavia... It didn't take rockets science to link things together, and see that it was going to head to this exact moment in time, that we are currently facing. So prepping took on a whole new scope. We did what we could in those times, with what was available to us. We've gone through bug-out bags, bug-out vehicles, to bugging IN and stocking and fortifying our suburban home. Fast forward to 2022, and we live in the woods, and are largely self sufficient. Friends and family telling us the whole way that we are over reacting...still to this day with everything thats gone down...we still get teased and ridiculed. Thankfully we are just far enough away to where none of those people can easily make it to our door in their time of need.
U are overreacting. U live in the woods and ur self sufficient? Good for u I guess. Nobody cares. If an asteroid hits earth again or if some other natural disaster happens or some other bad stuff happens your woods ain't gonna save u. You'll be gone just like me. Your self sufficient land will be a burnt little ash spot.
It was his mustache soul patch combo that threw you off. Disconcerting to say the least, what's the psychology of that? This guy obviously has some deep childhood traumas he's not dealing with. I'm thinking it's involving watercolors and mimes, sick combo if you ask me
As an Eagle Scout, our motto was and is "Be Prepared." I don't understand why people solely depend on stores being open every single day. Forget about pandemic, WW3, etc... simple weather or something unknown can lead to shortages of food, water, supplies, etc... so many can't survive a 72 hour "inconvenience" let alone a month or a year. People think it can't happen. These people are 100% dependent on the government to save them.....they won't.
As a Floridian I've gone without power for longer than 2 weeks twice in my life due to hurricanes. I now have a home generator with a 250 gallon propane tank. That will last me approximately a week. I have another month's worth of home-canned food on hand at any given time. A gallon of bleach will sanitize enough rain water for drinking for a long time. Prepping is more than just guns, and zombie apocalypse fantasies. A little simple prepping for 2 months worth of survival is more than enough for any budget to get you through enough chaos that you can make logical decisions if it truly hits the fan.
Prepper here, having lived in California I have been thru 3 major earthquakes, an evacuation for a dam that overflowed and had potential to bust open and wildfires. Now I live in Texas and deal with tornadoes. This ain't no conspiracy theory, life throws curve balls and Covid19 was just another on a long list of zingers. Trying to be prepared for possible emergencies is the responsible thing to do
No body in Europe preps they are living in a bubble of big government protection. European governments even pay farmers to not farm the land so they can build biodiversity all while they import foods from Africa.

When things shift into a bad mode it's to late to prepare you are now one of the people that are going to have a rough go. People may not believe it but the way you are living right now can go south in a heartbeat.
I started prepping 6 months ago once I finally was able to break out of poverty. Now, I have 3 weeks of food and plenty of ammo and silver. I have a well on my land and my flock of chickens and all I need now is to continue gardening and get a few cows and I’ll be golden. Millions starved during the Great Depression and I will not be one of those poor souls during this one
@@MCsCreations You don't have to have a bunker, just stock some food and seeds. Not those seeds, food seeds, tho those will help and be worth good trade.
Don't just buy seeds to put up. Plant some of them. Gardening is a lot of trial and error. Learn how to garden now because your life may depend on it one day.
@@boilermechanic5106 Yeah, I know a bit about it. My parents have a farm here in Brazil and I grew up going there almost every weekend. 😊 I learned how to ride a horse alone, for example. And the horse got so used to me that, after a while, I just went until him, got over him and he brought me until the place where I used to gave him corn... With a rope or anything. 😊
Back in the old days it wasn’t called prepping it was called living, everyday life just putting food back for the winter to make it to the next growing season. Prepping is just like having a insurance policy.
Every year I try to be more "grid down" ready as I can be because I always felt it was on the way. Ireland is getting amber alerts for the grid and this winter they are talking about blackouts. This was never a thing before...like EVER. Its hitting everyone now. I have a small shop in the house so I dont even have to leave if something crazy happened. That lowers the blood pressure for sure.
My wife and I stocked food up mostly prepandemic and we canned from the garden yearly. We are enjoying eating all those foods now that we paid pre 2019 prices for. Food price inflation isn’t having much of an effect on us. Prepping is always a good idea to many after the fact.
After every disaster you hear about the hardship that the people go through with fulfilling their basic needs and the trouble of government getting enough there fast enough. Or even worse, like in Puerto Rico where the governor held back necessary supplies so she could fling epithets at the president. I know people who lived off of their preps after getting fired and it took months to get a new job. We have had too many examples of why prepping is a necessary thing. How much you prep is up to you, but at least 3 months of the basic living necessities is what history tells us is needed.
Shalom My wife and I live full time on our Sailboat ⛵ We keep it packed with plenty of food This is a normal thing for sailors I grew up on a big farm doing everything ourselves Gardening canning everything Storing up meat Tool Everything to keep food and supplies for ourselves and animals People today live week to week My understanding of life was living years to years Shalom
this is so amazing, i'm from Venezuela and we had hell situation where i wish we would have been more prepared, the 7 of march of 2019 there was a huge chatastrophic electric failure over the 60% of the country, and the things we lived was the stuff of nightmares, there was "raiding parties" from neighboors and all kind of crazy sht, i really wish we had some kind of prepper mentality back then
Everybody talkes about the fall of society or "when the shit hits the fan". But most fail to realise that the fall isn't instantly but gradually. It's more of a decline. And we are in the decline of the Modern Era right now.
Exactly. And I think that the fallout will last even longer than that. All you can really do is prepare yourself, and the next generation whether it be your own children, with as much survival momentum as possible to propel oneself through the unknown however far it will go forth. And still then, survival momentum will need to be consistently replenished.

#1 rule of prepping: don't tell anyone you're prepping
just like Fight Club
Why not? Are you suggesting that you don’t want others to know? If so, I wonder if that mentality contributes to the anti social behavior that some preppers claim society will devolve into
@@valthomas9786 Short of being part of a prepping club, you don't tell others because as the rule of law breaks down, you don't want to become a target.
Preppers are realists at heart. Society is specifically the rules we all agree to live by with after the fact consequences. We don't murder people because we don't want to be murdered, not because of laws. Those simply punish after the fact and studies show the punishment isn't a deterrent. The point is that much of how things actually work on a daily basis all over the world are shared choices to cooperate. The problem in scarcity is that cooperation breaks down when it's needed most.
We already know how society would cease to be the civilization we know and become not just anarchy, but a truly dystopian nightmare... more quickly than anyone can imagine. Preppers simply acknowledge the reality of that and prepare accordingly... not just with guns or food, but also bushcraft, gardening, fishing and a host of other skills.
the truth is that most preppers will suffer the same fate as most folks, maybe just a little later as they either have underlying health conditions, didn't obtain a full survival skill set, overprepared in one area at the expense of others (too many guns, not enough food...too much food, not enough weapons... no legit bushcraft skills, etc.) or suffer an injury that cannot be solved without modern medicine.
So, no. You don't want others to know and yes, part of the very idea of prepping is based on the universal acknowledgment that anti-social behaviors would begin within days if not hours.
This isn't the number 1 rule in prepping.
Preppers don't give a fuck to talk about their newest methods or stocks.
@@ClickClack_Bam well I wouldn’t exactly be letting my neighbors in on it too much. But online I might post to a thread or something

@@kurtisb100 I suppose you're right
A prepper is someone who'd rather be 20 years early to a disaster, than 1 day late.
Many city folk have the plan that they will just leave the city. They are going to a place where they went camping. And then hunt and fish for survival. But we who live here have other plans. We will chainsaw down huge trees to block the road. We will put up a sign then shoot all who go around it. Stay away from our property city folk. We have earned this with our labor and hardships. If you want in, move here and help.

Same here, I always learn basic survival skills for camping and urban survival stuff. In Turkey when a coup attempt happened I was in my home at the 3rd floor winter garden with my gun, several knives, binoculars and walkies. I watched armed vehicles and soldiers barricading the main roads. Luckily nothing happened. And when the coronavirus was detected in China and in the news, I bought a gas mask and started buying food, hygiene supplies etc. All of my friends laughed. I said " You won't be laughing when the first case in Turkey reported. Then the first case in Turkey reported in news and my college shutted down just in case. I bought my ticket to my hometown because I'm from a town like the Siberia or Rocky Mountain region of America. ( My hometown is %97 forest but I was studying veterinary medicine in İstanbul ) Once again all of my friends said there is no need for that but I thought '' Time to bug out and bugging in my safe hometown where all of my family and preps were there.'' Then the outbreak started and lockdown started. All of my friends was feeling bored and isolated at their small apartments in İstanbul but I was firing the grill with my family, iced tea in my hand, eating fruits, vegetables from my garden. The world didn't end but I had a very quality time with my family after a long time ago. Survivalist mindset is no joke, it's beneficial for living in comfort while other people freak out for basic things like toilet paper.
I started prepping because I grew up poor and we didn't always have food. People don't realize how many normal looking kids in normal looking houses may not be eating. Everyone goes through the seasons of feast and famine. So I'd rather stock up during times of feasting because I know the bad times are real and often inevitable.
Ok, how many?

@@Letyourcolorsblendwithmine its just high demand on short notice
My grandparents' generation in Eastern Europe, who lived through WW2, were all preppers. Every family had a cellar full of preserves even if living in an apartment building in the city. A small garden just outside the city (dacha) was super common for growing your own vegetables, roots etc. Everyone had supplies.
That's what helped live through economic and social collapse in the 90s
its also how our ancestors survived for millions of years lol
Those that make fun of prepping have not lived through something like hurricane Katrina. I did. We didn't have clean water for 2 weeks. We drank from the creek bathed in the creek. We ate fish squirrel rabbit and deer. You will be thankful for what you can get your hands on when the shit hits the fan. To tell how weird that experience was, I seen a bream fish stuck in the side of a tree. Literally this fish went into the tree. I seen a traffic light on the side of the road. The nearest traffic light was 8 miles away. I watched pine trees twist and snap like a twig. Then came the humidity. It was only 97 98 degrees most of the time which is nothing in south ms but when u add 100% humidity you can barely breathe. People were fighting shooting and stabbing each other for gas for their generator. We hid our food so no one would try and steal it. People were putting small push mowers beside folks generators so they would still hear a running engine and then steal the generator. Lots of folks got shot for stealing. Long story short not all preppers are crazy people.
I find first hand experience like yours interesting root. What else did you learn? what did you wish you had more of? These real world accounts are very valuable lessons for us all.
I went nuts buying cans, propane and water for that storm. I was called crazy by my family. But no one thanked me when we used all of those supplies for 2 weeks.
People who think prepping is weird are living with 20th century American normalcy bias. Even the lower class here live under better conditions than most royalty, let alone the masses of humanity, throughout human history. In their minds, tomorrow and every day after includes running, potable water at their fingertips, plumbing, electricity, HVAC, vehicles, jobs, and a working society with the veil of civilization in effect.

I have been teaching preparedness for years. Everyone needs to be able to make it through 2-4 weeks for sure. Anything above that puts you better than 99.9% of the public. I get paid to think of preparedness and odd things we may have missed in disaster planning for my organization. Doing disaster planning, living in the New Madrid zone is very eye opening.
What organization do you work for? It sounds like something I'd enjoy doing.
Start pressure canning meat
Do you have upload videos?
We need more info
Being from farm culture, we are the 1st preppers. We plan for 1 year at a time. It’s a daily life style. We farm fields, have a family garden, a root cellar, we raise animals, we have fruit orchards and berry bushes. Self sufficiency at its finest.
Two generations ago, my family fled the farm.
Now I'm saving up to go back.
There's an irony there.
I hope part of your preps include protecting those preps, from gangs of raiders. Get LOTS of armed friends to protect your commune. One family will fall within two weeks. You will need at least double the number of people you think, after thinking about it, because sleeping in shifts cuts your work force, and protection force in half. They will come with IR googles, multiple vehicles, grenade launchers, suppressors... loud one night, silently three nights later, the whole thing. They will test you first, then let you exhaust yourself after days or weeks on heavy watch, then come for you, when you are all exhausted - in full force. You need a community, not just a few families at your commune. You will need to anticipate moraless, and trained people in groups. The worst parts of the Bible.

Not a bad idea to be prepped. Many governments say you should have a kit for 3 weeks to a few months time incase a huge disaster happens and FEMA can't help. But there are some crazy prepper people who are straight up insane or stupid. They look at every detail in the news or crazy conspiracy ideas and think the world is coming to an end next week.
There is this guy in Horning's Mills Ontario, Canada. He buried a bunch of school buses and made a bunker. It was subsidized by the government and people reserved spaces. If you ask him he will gladly show it to you. Decades after the cold war the busses are rotting away, there is a layer of soil on the ground, and his soup turned black, yet he insists the bunker is ready to go and eats the black soup. lol.

I'm a Texas prepper. I supported 9 people during the freeze. No stores, no water, no electricity. Somebody has to do it. I enjoyed it. It was a good shakeout. We had food, water, wood heat, natural water source, etc. It was fun, but Preppers know more than anyone how unprepared even WE are for a long-term disaster. I'm not prepared and I grow over an acre of food, have over 1000 pounds of stored goods, have milk goats, etc. The math is daunting. A human being eats 750,000 calories per year. I have 7 to support. That's close to 5 million calories of food. A can of green beans is about 70 calories total. We have to work to know how to not only store food, but how to grow grains, potatoes, squash in bulk.. 1000 lbs of potatoes is only 400,000 calories. That's only 6 months for ONE person... 1000 lbs. Most "preppers" aren't prepared. The absolute volume is amazing. Hopefully it'll never be needed.

Growing up in SW Florida, it was a must to be at least a little ready each year before hurricane 🌀 season.
It happened every year so it didn't take long for regular residents to learn.
The store shelves are empty 3 days before the store hits. the next round of truck are not showing up again untill the stores are open for business again.
In January 2020 I had been listening to smalltime news personalities on TH-cam monitoring what was happening in China. Being a prepper myself I understood what I was seeing there was coming my way really quickly. So I decided to flush out my preps a bit more. I went to my local food market and bought a shopping cart of canned goods since they last almost forever. While in line a young lady my age laughingly asked "Whats up with all the cans?". At that moment I told her "Its just for my pantry that is low" in order to not sound like a crazy end of the world lunatic. I look back now and regret not telling her the truth of what was coming our way and that she should at least restock her kitchen. At that moment I had been more worried about not looking weird instead of trying to let others around me know the danger we all faced. The extremely negative stigma of "preppers" is what made me keep my mouth shut when I could have possibly helped others around me. I truly regret that moment.
I'm sure she's fine.
Right?! And what's really scary is how we all will manufacture our own downfall. In a capitalist society we hafta stand on the economic backs of less fortunate nations but now we've gotten so used to just going to the store that we are weaker as a species
No worries for women they will be fine in an emergency situation in general.
You’re a monster! But in all seriousness you were right to have that feeling, bc she would have thought you were crazy and may have even laughed in your face. Don’t beat yourself up
Don’t! No one would have listened anyway. And anyone who would listen would already be prepping.
Preppers know the history and the nature of mankind.

One thing I learned as a street cop for 33 years is most people live in their own little bubble world and the shit never hits the fan for them their whole lives, but when it does they have no plan and no chance. These same people think the government will be there for them but what they don’t realize is they are on their own and you better be able to survive without assistance. At minimum you need to store Food, water, weapons, ammunition, medicines, and a way to pay for things other than paper money or electronic currency. Having silver, gold etc. None of these things are items you wouldn’t use anyway or would be bad investments.
Well said. Retired 2020.
Most people won’t care about silver or gold when they need food, prioritising prepping equipment like fishing rods, baits & traps, hunting rifles, bows & arrows, etc… will put you in a much better position than those who invested in alternate currencies
@@justadummy8076 Yes your right but precious metals have always been worth money throughout time. Ok if we take the ultimate dive and we are just fighting for food and water then the precious metal I want is lead, as in ammunition. But if it’s semi civil and we are in a temporary setback say no grid for a while or a depression like 1929, I want something more than paper money or digital currency. And fishing equipment etc won’t help if you’re fighting for your life. You better know how to defend yourself, An AR-15 and a 9mm high capacity pistol and 12 gauge shotgun are the minimum I would want. Unless your in area with big game your more likely going to be hunting small game and protecting yourself from two legged predators. Being a prepper isn’t enough Chief you better know how to fight with anything and everything.
@@craigthescott5074
I was just listing random stuff off the to of the dome of things to get before worrying about currency.
In all honesty, you probably don’t need a shotgun AND a rifle, you’d probably be better off with an AR as it can serve multiple roles at once, from self defence to hunting.
I was just saying that when SHTF, survival equipment will be more valuable immediately than currency, & thus should be the focus of an immediate prep, and then spec into alternate forms of currency.
@@justadummy8076 Yes would agree if you could only have one gun a good AR-15 would be the best bet. A 12 guage shotgun has advantages up close and there’s ammo everywhere, also the diversity of 12 guage ammo is nice too. From slugs to bird shot it’s probably the best survival weapon.
imagine going back 500 years and telling some dude with a bow that in 500 years we have arrows that can destroy the whole world in a matter of minutes.
Where do u get ur weed from
If you were in India, then they'd believe you and reference their ancient texts that describe literally a powerful bow and arrow that could level cities [edit: and home in on targets] being wielded by one of their gods.

I’ve seen how quickly it devolves multiple times over my 33 years, and I will say, every time it seems to speed up in terms of the initial phases of disordered to no food supplies and subsequent looting. From multiple hurricanes, especially hurricane Katrina where violence and looting started extremely quickly, to being on a fishing trip in Venezuela at the start of revolution and social disorder. Being prepared and having a plan goes a long way.
When people have been to war zones it really opens their eyes to a hard life.
Thank you. I’m starting.
Not long ago, one of my grandsons asked, Pop, how do you know so much and how to build and fix things. I told him it was the norm when I was a kid for our dad's and grandfathers to teach us, and that is why I tried to include you in projects when I could. ( We lived several hundred miles apart sadly, so I didn't have much one on one time with him). When he got married I bought him a full tool set for Christmas. He looked so disappointed when he opened it. Heck I still get a thrill every time I get a new tool or gadget.
I sold my business, slowed in writing, bought five acres, and started a farm for sustainability and it was the best thing I could have done.
Im jealous wtf. I wish I could

canned rabbit
raise rabbits in a way you can harvest their poop clean. (urine free)

domestic rabbit is a delicacy....so good, so tender.
fat free and that poop is some of the best organic fertilizer on the planet.
We live in Houston where every responsible person would be prepping - because if it isn’t a hurricane or a tropical storm or just a line of thunderstorms on tax day it will be a winter storm or just a broken water main on a clear beautiful day that takes a week to repair, but regardless of the cause it seems at least once a year we have some event that cuts the power and water for a few days. So be responsible and just be prepared with some food and water to make it through.

My family has always prepped to a point. We always have water bottles and toilet paper and extra food. I’d say we can live for a good month or two before running out of food. When I live out on my own, I’m definitely going to keep the practice alive just in case.
Bump those numbers up.. 7 year tribulation coming
@@MikeWalksWithJesusdoubt lol.
Everyone should prep for at least a week, so you can wrap your head around the circumstances. Most don't have the means to prep for survival, but you can prep for a minute to get it together and give yourself some mental comfort and go from there in an event or something.
I'd say a week is a pretty good, realistic minimum for most of the country. You're unlikely to see a disaster that extends longer than that.
Hurricane country is a bit different, but they've already been doing that.
I went to visit a cousin of mine for two weeks and bought a few boxes of pasta and other pantry staples the first day I arrived. She was so surprised, even trying to talk me out of buying “so much” because we could always just go back to the store again. Months later, Texas had their energy crisis: no power, no water, no food in the stores at all. Her and her fiancé had nothing to eat for weeks other than junk food and sweets from the convenient store down the road. They had no backup food whatsoever.

Restaurants are one of the most likely businesses to go out of business.
Open table is saying 40/60% of all the restaurants aren't going to reopen.

Well, I've seen some restaurants shifting their service to home delivery by changing their kitchen menu so they can be packed and delivered right in front of people's doors.
Well that was normal even before the pandemic. Actually the pandemic diverted a lot of government money to bailout struggling restaurants that just took the support and closed up anyway. In any case we can still survive without them and eat at home.

I stay prepared. I have enough food, toiletries etc...to last us a year. Thankfully I am because in 2020 my husband lost his job of 32 years. We were able to navigate till he found another job because of our preps. We went through almost all of it but at least we had it. I have been steadily resupplying it. You should always be prepared for anything.
Joe: "I'm not a prepper."
Also Joe: "I have 2000 pounds of meat, a backup generator, and a stockpile of rice and pasta."
Yes Joe. You are a prepper.
I guess compared to his income level. Aside from the 2,000 pounds of meat and the freezers needed for that, a backup generator and a few years worth of rice and water would be easily doable for a middle class family and would mostly fit in a closet (you'd need more space than that for the water). He could afford to design and build a custom underground doomsday luxury bunker, but he has a closet full of dry rice and pasta, a backup generator, water, and the meat from how much he hunts.
idk man sounds like he just wants to keep what he shoots. Me personally, he just sounds like a guy who hunts
Yeah I have a feeling that when Joe means that he is not a preper. It is from the context of not being a preper with having a full bunker.

I like how preparedness is viewed as crazy. Learning how to be self sufficient is a great thing that could not only benefit families, especially in times of strife, but also is humbling. Humbling in a sense that you start to realize how much nonsense we buy and rely on but don't actually need. When you strip the human experience to the essential life sustaining properties you need to survive, you might start to rid yourself of the less essential.
They love suckling corporate/state teat. They think you should too.
Its unbelievable that is considered crazy because we have been prepping in some sense for all of human exsistence. Its in our nature as hunter gatherers. I mean then again we are in a world where people would rather be on twitter than learn basic life skills. While me and you are going to thrive when shtf, 98% of the population is fucked
The 'masses' want everyone to think like them. They want you in the same position as they are if the unexpected happens. If you prepare, they ridicule you because they actually know they should as well, but it's easier to ridicule you than to make the effort and investment to be prepared. Believe me, these are the very people you will need guns to protect yourself from if disaster happens. They will be at your door demanding your supplies because their kids are hungry and they failed to be responsible. Eventually, they will feel entitled to steal from you or even harm you to get what they should have prepared for themselves. People, even the nicest, most rational, will become vicious animals when faced with starvation and demise. THIS is why we need weapons, bunkers, and secrecy.

My prepping experience started about 30 years ago. I live in Texas, tornado alley. I initially nought a few things for that type of scenario. I was young and single, in an apartment.
By the time I got married and started having kids, buying a house etc... I built up my preparations to suit that dynamic.
From the late 80s, I was aware of people like Yuri Bezmenov... and was waking up to the kind of threat he was detailing. I understood the wealth transfer out this country, to the elites was happening. I remember Chinese firms bringing workers over, dismantling steel mills, and physically moving them to China. I understood how destructive NAFTA was. I saw the eternal wars kicking off. There was Ruby Ridge, Waco, Unabomber, etc... Watching government response to these, and how narratives were being built around them...Hearing the term "political corretness" for the first time in 1992 on Nightline with Ted Koppel, and immediately seeing that it was just a rebranding of Cultural Marxism, and knowing what was in store... 9/11, WMDs, the war in Yugoslavia... It didn't take rockets science to link things together, and see that it was going to head to this exact moment in time, that we are currently facing.
So prepping took on a whole new scope. We did what we could in those times, with what was available to us. We've gone through bug-out bags, bug-out vehicles, to bugging IN and stocking and fortifying our suburban home. Fast forward to 2022, and we live in the woods, and are largely self sufficient. Friends and family telling us the whole way that we are over reacting...still to this day with everything thats gone down...we still get teased and ridiculed. Thankfully we are just far enough away to where none of those people can easily make it to our door in their time of need.
They're just sorry they can't
U are overreacting. U live in the woods and ur self sufficient? Good for u I guess. Nobody cares. If an asteroid hits earth again or if some other natural disaster happens or some other bad stuff happens your woods ain't gonna save u. You'll be gone just like me. Your self sufficient land will be a burnt little ash spot.

As an Eagle Scout, our motto was and is "Be Prepared." I don't understand why people solely depend on stores being open every single day.
Forget about pandemic, WW3, etc... simple weather or something unknown can lead to shortages of food, water, supplies, etc... so many can't survive a 72 hour "inconvenience" let alone a month or a year. People think it can't happen. These people are 100% dependent on the government to save them.....they won't.
As a Floridian I've gone without power for longer than 2 weeks twice in my life due to hurricanes. I now have a home generator with a 250 gallon propane tank. That will last me approximately a week. I have another month's worth of home-canned food on hand at any given time. A gallon of bleach will sanitize enough rain water for drinking for a long time. Prepping is more than just guns, and zombie apocalypse fantasies. A little simple prepping for 2 months worth of survival is more than enough for any budget to get you through enough chaos that you can make logical decisions if it truly hits the fan.
Prepper here, having lived in California I have been thru 3 major earthquakes, an evacuation for a dam that overflowed and had potential to bust open and wildfires. Now I live in Texas and deal with tornadoes. This ain't no conspiracy theory, life throws curve balls and Covid19 was just another on a long list of zingers. Trying to be prepared for possible emergencies is the responsible thing to do

@TIOTIO But to build a bunker... Yeah, you do. 😬
@@MCsCreations You don't have to have a bunker, just stock some food and seeds. Not those seeds, food seeds, tho those will help and be worth good trade.
@@KalRandom I know, but it would be way cooler if I had a bunker! 😂
Don't just buy seeds to put up. Plant some of them. Gardening is a lot of trial and error. Learn how to garden now because your life may depend on it one day.
@@boilermechanic5106 Yeah, I know a bit about it. My parents have a farm here in Brazil and I grew up going there almost every weekend. 😊
I learned how to ride a horse alone, for example. And the horse got so used to me that, after a while, I just went until him, got over him and he brought me until the place where I used to gave him corn... With a rope or anything. 😊
Back in the old days it wasn’t called prepping it was called living, everyday life just putting food back for the winter to make it to the next growing season. Prepping is just like having a insurance policy.
like being an insurance policy.
The government doesn't like self sufficient people. They are much harder to control.
Every year I try to be more "grid down" ready as I can be because I always felt it was on the way. Ireland is getting amber alerts for the grid and this winter they are talking about blackouts. This was never a thing before...like EVER. Its hitting everyone now. I have a small shop in the house so I dont even have to leave if something crazy happened. That lowers the blood pressure for sure.
Glad to hear it. Stay frosty, Buddy. 🇮🇪

My wife and I stocked food up mostly prepandemic and we canned from the garden yearly. We are enjoying eating all those foods now that we paid pre 2019 prices for. Food price inflation isn’t having much of an effect on us. Prepping is always a good idea to many after the fact.
After every disaster you hear about the hardship that the people go through with fulfilling their basic needs and the trouble of government getting enough there fast enough. Or even worse, like in Puerto Rico where the governor held back necessary supplies so she could fling epithets at the president. I know people who lived off of their preps after getting fired and it took months to get a new job. We have had too many examples of why prepping is a necessary thing. How much you prep is up to you, but at least 3 months of the basic living necessities is what history tells us is needed.

My wife and I live full time on our Sailboat ⛵
We keep it packed with plenty of food
This is a normal thing for sailors
I grew up on a big farm doing everything ourselves
Gardening canning everything
Storing up meat
Tool
Everything to keep food and supplies for ourselves and animals
People today live week to week
My understanding of life was living years to years
Shalom
Well said
this is so amazing, i'm from Venezuela and we had hell situation where i wish we would have been more prepared, the 7 of march of 2019 there was a huge chatastrophic electric failure over the 60% of the country, and the things we lived was the stuff of nightmares, there was "raiding parties" from neighboors and all kind of crazy sht, i really wish we had some kind of prepper mentality back then
I fully understand and support the preppers. Their stockpile gives them months to survive and fight back/ resist if the Government turns evil.
🤣🤣🤣 "if the government turns evil" 🤣🤣🤣
I think you meant "more evil".
Everybody talkes about the fall of society or "when the shit hits the fan".
But most fail to realise that the fall isn't instantly but gradually. It's more of a decline.
And we are in the decline of the Modern Era right now.
Exactly. And I think that the fallout will last even longer than that. All you can really do is prepare yourself, and the next generation whether it be your own children, with as much survival momentum as possible to propel oneself through the unknown however far it will go forth. And still then, survival momentum will need to be consistently replenished.
A field trip to the CDC with Duncan Trussell would be the experience of a lifetime.
Rural folks have always been preppers as a normal way of life. Having what you need without having to "go to town"
Hindsight is 20/20. My friend is a city manager in SoCal. At the beginning of COVID he was instructed to set up checkpoints & establish up sights for refrigeration cadaver semi trucks.
The bad rep of preppers is the media/govt not wanting you to prep. We all, well most sane people, know why.
The weird part is that FEMA, itself, wants you to prep.
