as somebody whose first language is not english, "when shit hits the fan" is a truly incredible phrase. who even fucking came up with that image? the human mind is amazing
As someone who does speak English as a first language, I'm equally amazed by that expression... Weirdly beautiful, and horrifying at the same time. Also smelly. Definitely smelly...
my dad was a level 2.5 doomsday prepper. he died in 2022 and clearing out his hoarder home by myself was really difficult and interesting. a box of mac and cheese had a false bottom for ammo. he had the go bags but everything expired. he saved medications, like 15 year old leftover antibiotics from dental work. so old they could just as much harm you as help you at that point. he spent so much time, money and energy toward being prepared it really held him back in life. it didnt give him much comfort or solace. it was an attempt to control something you can't. an anxiety rabbit hole. then once you have a stockpile you are afraid of being raided or attacked for it.
thats why I hate the term prepper as well as that dumbass series. Preparedness is something everyone should do. being paranoid and letting fear rule you into making it your whole self identity is what ruins you as well as the look on everyone else who just wants to be able to continue normalcy during bad times.
You really only need 1 years worth of food stockpiled. That’s so you’ll have something to eat while you’re planting and waiting for food to grow. I wish your dad had got into stacking silver and gold. It would’ve been a good amount of wealth he could’ve left you. You could keep it incase there’s an economic collapse or sell it.
Doesn't matter. He understood that he was prepared for something that might never happen, but IF it did, he was still better off than those that mocked or criticized him for it, and even if it didn't curve his worry or anxiety, it still demonstrated that he followed through with his priorities. For you to say it "held him back" is kind of subjective. We look at those of you that feel this way as careless and naive about the stability of the environment and the fact that most of you take it for granted. All due respect.
@@StrelokTheStalker "held him back" could mean a large range of things and severities that we dont understand as outside observers with only a short paragraph of context. Paranoia, anxiety, ostracization, and throwing your limited resources into a seemingly reasonable but practically infinite money pit can all have quite tangible negative effects on someone and to dismiss that entirely to someone who saw it first hand seems quite silly lol. With all respect.
Fun fact: The hide under your desk thing for schools for nukes Was because if theyre outside the evaporation Radius and within the shockwave they dont get glass and debris launched into their face
That’s pretty much all nuclear shelter tactics. In the army they taught us basic techniques to make your survival chance go from 0.001% to 0.01% and that’s if you’re outside of the blast zone and with hazmat gear.
@clownworld4655 even without hazmat gear you should be alright if the blast doesn't cause the building to cave in like a brick building. (Depends if the nuke touched ground or detonated in the air obv) cuz if it's a air detonation the radiation would persist for like 2 days which is enough time to get a hazmat suit on mor maybe just check what's goin' on
I appreciate the constant flow of videos to this channel. How much the editing team works to make these seem like they take weeks to produce and the dedication to putting out content consistently is very appreciated, even if it it doesn’t get said often
I've been thinking this the last month, and saying it to my friend. Hunter is absolutely slaying with all the constant content coming out. Hope he hits 3 million by the end of 2024
Dude. The half floor people are going to revolt against the two floor people so fast. You're building class disparity into your doomsday shelter from the get go. No way that turns out well.
I thought I was a level 1 prepper at the beginning, but apparently, I'm level 3, according to the video. When I was in the military, I'd take the stuff no one wanted from everyone's MREs and save them for an emergency. Everyone thought I was weird until we were left high and dry during the ice storms in Texas for a couple of weeks, and I still had food. People think the government will come and save you during an emergency, but they can barely save themselves. You don't have to go crazy but having 2-3 weeks of food, water, and toiletries for the family will make a big difference when a disaster happens.
I was living in Texas when that happened. My father was into preparedness so I learned about it from him. He wasn't hardcore. Stock up for emergency situations. If he had the money though, he probably would have bought a bunker as a just in case. I agreed with being prepared for emergencies, having a bug out bag for evac, being able to survive in a disaster zone for weeks on your own if necessary. But the Texas grid situation really made me realize just how important it is to be prepared for shit hitting the fan, even if said shit is only temporary. It could have been a lot worse than it was.
@@charleshyde6461I would call 3 minutes pretty damn fast. If you disagree, the only way I can see it being quicker is to have an officer posted outside every house. Don't know about you, but that is not something I want.
Even the government recommends you have a few weeks worth of supplies in case of emergency situations where it could be weeks before anyone is even able to get to you.
Being a level 1 prepper should be standard honestly having a first aid kit and emergency supplies for at least a week will at worst improve your quaility of life during an emergency. Level 2 is understandable if you live further from the city road becomes unusable because of an enviromental factor it will take a long time for the city to get out and fix it
When I lived near the mountains, it was standard to keep about a month's worth of supplies during winter because it wasn't uncommon for it to snow heavy enough that the plows couldn't get through so you were going to be stuck for at least a week or longer.
As someone who lives in Arkansas and will be on the lowest priority for the government to reastablish healthy livability , if the government is over thrown or money becomes worthless, remember that eating is your only means of surviving (really you can find fresh water just about anywhere) and a few cases of spam that lasts decades will not hurt your living odds , a few solar rechargable stuff won't hurt either.
Something Americans dont think about because they never had to fight a foreign enemy on their own soil: Level 2 (The Bug-Out-Bag especially) should be Level 0 really. Especially if you live in an area prone to warfare. Being able to take a bag with your most important shit in a moments notice and go somewhere safer can help you survive a hostile invasion. It might very well be the difference between becoming collaterel damage or surviving in the first few weeks of a major war as a civilian.
My thoughts exactly. Back in 2010ish, my dad's house in Michigan got hit with a horrible winter storm. We didn't have power for three days and couldn't get to the store, and I'm pretty sure my dad had been laid off shortly before. With all that said, we did just fine because there was plenty of non-perishables in the basement and he had plenty of those propane heaters. Those three days would have been absolutely horrid if he wasn't prepared. Honestly, I'm more worried about a winter storm like that than an apocalypse, but I also like to keep my pantry full.
I'm probably a level 2 or 3 lol I legit have stocks and emergency ssupplies, practice foraging and gardening plus learning how to use foraged plants as first aid and emergency equipment (btw, you can eat an entire pine tree so long as it's not a toxic variety 😅), hoard seeds, hoard books about living wild, ensure my kids have basic DIY skills to fix a home, fix a car, build things, understand the difference between toxic and safe plants, and have some basic medical skills. Me and my family will be totally fine. Weird, but fine
I remember there was an episode where the preppers' doomsday strategy was to become post-apocalypse raiders and pillage from everyone else. But they were all comically overweight, so it just accentuated the LARP
That was actually the last episode called "we are the marauders" ... and yeah that guy was so outrageously overweight he wouldnt make it past day 5 cause his diabeetus would get him first.
My mother in law is big on prepping. I love doing it as an activity but i dont really stock like she does. I never really got it until my fiance and i were incredibly low on money because i took time off due to my mom passing and then got COVID. She stopped by and kindly gave us a bunch of amazing tasting and healthy food she had freeze dried. Soups, veggies, fruits, etc. It was so incredinky helpful and useful.
The way to do it is to stock extra shelf stable stuff you'd normally eat. Then you just use the old stuff first and try to maintain somewhat of a surplus. Buying in bulk can save some money in the long run too.
@@SomeGuyAsWell this^^^ I 100% agree. She also taught me how to forage which is so fun and if I ever need it, I have it in my back pocket but I don't want to buy an ungodly amount of random food and just have it forever lol
You MIL sounds like a sane prepper. Those people are usually really chill and just like having reserves. It's the ones that think they need 50K rounds of ammo and 250 guns that scare me, and I'm a gun owner.
@@SomeGuyAsWellthis is how all preppers operate. The meme of preppers having to eat thousands of items just before they go off and then replace them all is just not true at all. My wife and I prep and nobody would ever know. Just the concept that being prepared in life is "paranoia" is so stupid.
People treat it like it’s for specifically the end of the world but it’s for when you’re in need. Even in trivial things like when my shoes get wet at work I got dry socks in my bag in my car
The "level one" on this was interesting to hear, because where I grew up, that wouldn't be considered "doomsday prep" of any sort- just standard preparedness. There's an expectation that you'll be prepared to survive 72 hours in case of certain natural disasters. We also had discussions in school multiple times about what we would do in case of a natural disaster like an earthquake... problem with those is everyone was shot down no matter what they said so kids stopped caring lol. But the reason is due to our location, which was at higher risk for certain natural occurrences, so it was something we had to know about. My family has always had some extra things in the garage because of that. Everyone also was taught to be ready for power outages, since we do get those when the wind rolls in during autumn. You're just expected to have some flashlights and such ready, and we have various card games to play. Disney Princess Uno is a favourite.
Doomsday, why in the hell would papa f**ker tells stories about controlling fire after fire from the past Papa F**ker is still pissed rom Chick-fil-A worker. Doomesday feels like oh it's fake news your f**king fired - Im Donald J Trump and I approved this message.
Grew up Mormon in Southern Utah, Mom was a hardcore prepper and for the entirety of my childhood I legit thought that the world was gonna end by the time I became an adult. Thought I was gonna have to raise my family in the woods and fight off one world order soldiers. She had a moment of clarity when she told me to go to college and I said "what's the point if the world is gonna end soon?" Fifteen years later things toned down, she ditched the doomer forums, fixed her marriage, I went into the trades (fuck college), got married and have two kids now, turns out Mom and Dad had a really rocky marriage that gave her anxiety that she thought she could fix with doomsday prepping. Still, all that stockpile came in clutch during the 2008 crash and covid. Moral of the story: the world ain't gonna fuckin end, but get yourself a nice windfall for when times get tough
wait one world order? huh. i thought that was just something the local weird christian lady pulled out of her ass. didnt know that that was like, a thing multiple people actually believed in.
I'm a Mormon from southern California and yeaaaaah my parents, even though their Mormon too, never were THAT paranoid about the second coming or the world ending. Even for most standards id say their pretty down-to-earth people and recognize the differences between our religion and the world. If anything the only "preparation" stuff we have is some extra water bottle packs from costco, some canned foods, and a whole box of M.R.E's but only because my dad is a veteran and he bought a lot when we were kids because we liked trying something new and hearing my dads military stories while we ate them. But im happy that you and your mom were able to see and fix the issues or struggles in your lives.
I just did the math for everyone curious. For the Costco food buckets: Say you're a family of 4, like mine. With 150 meals in each, you'd need 2.5 buckets per person if you ate 1 meal a day as a ration strategy. Which means you'd need 10 buckets a year in total. Times that by 5 years as a safety measure, that's 50 buckets of food. Each bucket is approximately $80. Times that by 10 for a years worth for 4 people, you're looking at $800, so already, you have more servings per person for the same amount of time at a huge discount. Now, you want 5 years worth, because you want your family to fucking THRIVE, so you end up buying 50 buckets to last 5 years. That's $4,000. You can spend the same god damn amount you would for the expensive buckets and get more food that will last you 5x's as long.
"Now, if you put a slice of cheese on the plate, put a Welch's grape jelly packet label-side down on the cheese, & put another slice of cheese on top of the jelly packet, that means the end of the world is here & our days are numbered."
Just buy a large storm shelter bunker but remember that if there is only one way in or out it will only be a matter of time before someone is waiting outside the door with bad intentions.
As a Veteran, a ‘bug out bag’ is honestly the only real thing I support myself. When you need to make an emergency move even for just temporary situations, it’s a great thing to have that I recommend to anyone. A bug out bag isn’t quite intended for long term intention and in the service we actually called it a 72 hour bag. If you get stuck for a few days, you’re covered. I honestly consider it a level one prepper, but hey still a great video as always
19:22 In college, I wrote a 10-minute screenplay for a class and because "it was the style at the time", it was a zombie apocalypse dark comedy. And I wrote the "all is lost moment" as someone walking into the living room to tell the rest of the survivors "The internet stopped."
My mother is one and it's been her obsession for the last 12 years. She's 73, and I wish she would just enjoy the years she has left and not worry about the end of the world.
Yea after a certain age prepping beyond having food and water for atleast couple weeks doesn't make sense. You're not gonna survive a real nation wide disaster. But it's often times a trauma response from living through extreme scarcity like the great depression or similar levels of poverty
It's just the human condition for most. Living in fear. The fear creates all these problems. If not for the fear of death, everyone would be content and not be concerned with end times and permanence.
@@bryansuarez2396 agreed, the human condition is knowing death is inevitable but convincing ourselves stalling it is more important than enjoying what we CAN control
Respectfully at that age I wouldn’t be worried about doom prepping. If the end of the world comes and you’re that old your chances of survival are slim. I’d rather just peacefully pass.
I can relate to the paranoia, however, I personally have no desire to continue living if the world ends. I am not subjecting myself to an apocalypse bro, just take me out, end my suffering
Yeah it's all fun and games thinking about it while you are younger until you actually sit down and realistically start thinking about how ass life would be. I personally would try it out for a day to a week and then probably off myself If I wasn't ded already.
@@luvrvisionI'd probably try it out for a day or so. (Actually that's only if I was alone. If I was with my family idk.) but I probably wouldn't last long tbh. Like what if the zombies didn't moan or groan? They would just be silent or walking around slamming their upper jaw into their lower jaw, just making a herrendous noise. And if They were any faster than shamblers, we're all cooked.
My dad is a doomsday prepper. He has built shelves in our garages for non perishable foods and hygiene products. He has multiple bags of MRE’s. He has a very large safe where he hoards ammo and guns. Large containers filled with emergency supplies. Growing his own fruits and vegetables. Rain barrel to catch drinking water. Dude is the most average American man but he is PREPARED.
Let's say you are prepper and you survived the world war III nuclear apocalypse, reset society 500 years back, the Earth plays Russian roulette with an asteroid every year the very thing that wiped out the dinosaurs do we have that kind of time to rebuild society ? My guess is no the last impact was the younger dryas, 11500 to 12000 years ago, the time before that was 24,000 years ago are you seeing a pattern
During Covid I was a Military Police officer in Southern California, we had people from all over the state try and come on our base just to go to our grocery store (former veterans and their families have access) and I let a lady in a red truck in, I saw her drive out of base with the bed of her truck completely full of TP and paper towels, next time I went to the grocery store there was nothing available to us active duty members who weren’t allowed more than 30 miles away from base, I was pissed so I started denying people access, they would drive 2-3 hours or more to base, buy out our commissary of canned goods and other stuff and then leave, meaning us AD people and our families on base couldn’t get the stuff we needed.
Are you talking about Ft Irwin? I was living there and that shit happened all the time during covid. Usually a military wife let in their cousin or friend and they ransacked the commissary together. Guards in front of the store were always overworked and understaffed so they gave up halfway which led to more chaos. It's fine if it was one or two, but it was far too many. Closest town to the base was Barstow which was about an hour away, so it's not like many of us had anywhere else to go. We were also in the barren desert so not much to go around in general.
@@sensaiuriah5440 Yeah, it's not meant to make me survive the apocalypse, it's meant for "bugging out" when my house is the danger and the goal is to avoid losing some small things that are hard to replace.
I used to think of doing this, thinking of what things I'd save if my house burned down. All of it ended up being useless ideas when my house did actually burn down from a freak accident when I was away. Rebuilding your life and what you've lost is a difficult battle for a couple years after, but once your life gets back on track it just feels like the blink of an eye.
I dabbled in doomsday prep ... I'd fall somewhere in the stage 1-2 categories. Some prepper information is good for anyone, some prepper goods are useful for anyone. If you don't go ape$hit crazy like some of these bunker people, and you simply look for things with multiple uses, you can enhance your preparation for LIKELY situations like the electricity going down for days at a time. For example, I bought a 2 kW backup solar generator, but I put it into everyday service. It reduces my electric bill. And it's really nice to have that mobile power. One other example: I bought a countertop water distiller. It instantly and 100% solved the issue of access to pure water. I use it daily to purify my tap water. Basically, there's value in learning some of the cool products (and information) that you might realistically use everyday.
Papa Meat: “I went to a friend’s house, his mom had 150 rolls of toilet paper” Nick’s response : “Did you see that video of a mother getting hit by a brick in her car?” Protect Nick at all costs
Um… get a restraining order against Nick at all costs… I already have! Harry’s entire job is to wrangle Nick. (Nobody remembers Harry, the kind Asian feller in the chicken sandwich video. But I do! He stopped Nick from attacking me one time!)
Truth is, while a lot of these guys are cringe, they'll be better off than people living in the cities and relying on Starbucks and Fresh Thyme for survival. Empires fall. It'll happen eventually, somehow and some way. First to die will be the ones who 1. can't protect themselves, 2. are around large groups of people and 3. don't have practical or survival skills.
@@seendon5394You’re right, but the overconfidence of these preppers, WANTING the end of the world and for billions to perish, thinking they’d survive is hilarious. I say that as someone who does actually think it’s smart to plan for an emergency.
@@freakkyser Depends where you go. I wouldn’t want to be anywhere near the cities if SHTF. I mean I’m from St Louis and it’s already a hellscape back there. I can’t imagine what it’d be like in a really bad scenario.
Never understood why people always say that. That would make more sense if they had to actively need to run from something, but not every scenario does. They would also drop the weight pretty quick being forced to do more stuff and eat less. Unless they are diabetic or something then they are fucked.
This video hits so close to home. Not only because I grew up with doomsday preppers, they were RELIGIOUS DOOMS DAY PREPPERS 😩 our basement was constantly full of instant potatoes and oatmeal
My bugout bag: 2 bottles water Couple bags of jerky First aide kit Gas mask with 2 filters 2 smoke grenades 2 boxes of shotshells 2 radios and a flashlight(batteries swapped once a year) And a knife. It's not that big or heavy. I also use it for camping and when out shooting. I'm not paranoid of the world ending, I just think it's wise to be ready for a rough day or two. The gas mask is also modified for airsoft larping, so it's not that crazy to keep it ready to go. I use a mock 3d printed filter for airsoft.
One of the most amazing and romantic things my SO has ever told me was that, if some kind of nuclear war, or what have you, occurred he would take me to the Boeing plant and we would set up lawn chairs and have a cooler of booze and some cookies to wait for the world to end together. I love that man so much.
@@iamcool544 So far as I can tell, it would be a likely spot to drop a nuke. Then again, this was said before all the shit that's been going on this year...
So that's where those storytelling skeletons come from. Year's later a survivor comes across your skeletons holding hands and asks himself if it would have simply been better to perish at the beginning next to someone he loved.
There are 3 kinds of peppers. 1. The kind that stock up on food and water and the like. 2. The ones that stock up on food and water and also guns and ammo to prevent their supplies from getting stolen. 3. The ones that only stock up on guns and ammo so they can steal from #1
I prep to some degree. I try to keep a couple of weeks of backup supplies, an extra month of medications, etc. I live in the midwest and previously lived on a coastal town in Florida. Its a good idea to have some spares on hand when bad storms hit that could tank power, contaminate water, blow out communications, that type of thing. Having dehydrated, or shelf stable items, a basic first aid kit, some potable water, again not a terrible idea. Where it jumps the shark, I think is maintaining years of supplies, burying supplies, massive bug out kits. If it really goes south that badly, getting away from populated areas is gonna be far more important. At that point, skill sets will be far more important, than massive preps. Knowing how to forage, make fire, identify herbal medicine plants, planting a garden, making alcohol, preserving food, and all that will be far more valuable than massive stockpiles.

There's a good creepypasta about a doomsday bunker I think Hunter would like! ("I found the bunker of a prepper family who went missing three years ago")
Ngl if I could afford a bunker, I would absolutely get one. I just think they're cool; the safety features would just be a bonus XD Put in like a slide to get down, add a small 4-6 seat theatre room with a projector or something like that...
As a prepper myself, I try not to overthink or obsess about disaster but I do like to be ready for one. It’s also a little fun to look at or buy cool survival stuff
Agreed, and some times I'll spend money on some of the less practical stuff because I like the extra security, like do i really need a gas mask in my day to day life? No, But is it something useful to have just incase of a fire or to explore abandoned places? Yeah Plus i think it looks kinda cool lol
@@Moonshine449 they will probably just sell the land and your belongings and move into the nearest major city suburbs, live like kings for x amount of years until the money dries up, and then your entire legacy and hard work will have been for nothing
Lds here, my understanding of the encouragement for three months supply of food isn't necessarily so your family can survive for three months, but so you and a bunch of your family and your neighbors can get through a bad week after a natural disaster without going hungry.
Yeah, same, I'm LDS as well and I also feel like the food storage is also encouraged In case of financial emergencies so you have food to live off of in the mean time
You're wise, tenacious and look like a slightly inflated white version of the weekend, you'll survive... and I suspect you're more of a prepper than you let on. Gallows humor binds us all, honored to be a part of it
Actually... If you were a prepper, why would you ever tell the world that? That'd be so stupid if the world would actually end. All the people that knew about it are going to swarm your shelter for your resources... These open lifestyle preppers are actually borderline reeeee
I live in a state that gets bad snow and ice storms. So, every fall we stock up on essentials (batteries, medicines for colds, soup, paper towels and toilet paper, water...). We've lost power for a week before. I remember it being so cold in the house we saw our breath. Luckily my house has two fire places so we had options for light and warmth.
Still, we are pushing our luck here. What happens when we run out of oil, coal, metals? Those aren't replaceable, and the way things are going humanity may have to quit cold turkey. It will hurt.
I don’t think we will ever experience an extinction level apocalypse in our lifetime. What we should fear is a collapse of modern civilization. That is very much feasible. Humanity will survive, society will not.
The only “Doomsday” prepper I ever saw that made sense was a Survivalist, he didn’t hoard supply’s or ammo, he made a good point that in the apocalypse ammo and supply will run out quick, instead he knew how to hunt, forage, build shelters, and craft his own arrow and spears.
My dad was one of these doomsday preppers, especially for the supposed "Second Coming of Christ" in 2012. Yes, the same year as the Mayan calendar's end. He also believed in a giant moon or an asteroid named "Neburu" or something like that, that would crash down on Earth and somehow bring the dead back to life (if Christ's coming didn't do that already). The guy was nuts, and abusive to boot. He thought we were all insane for not following him. He stocked up on "zombie-grade" bullets and planned on turning our basement into a makeshift bunker. He was one of those Ancient Aliens bingers too, and loved sinking his teeth into internet articles while drinking whiskey. Needless to say, the only end that's come since then is his own. Rest in peace, Dad. You crazy, crazy bastard.
Nibiru is some babylonian legend apparently predating christ, it's actually a really interesting read because it's where we get a lot of weird habits from, but yeah it's the source of many nutty stories lol
@@samsh0-q3a Also referred to as 'Planet X' and 'Planet 9' these days. Used to just be a conspiracy, but now researchers have actually found evidence suggesting there may be a 9th planet somewhere out there in our solar system.

Basically all catastrophical situations in the recorded past of human kind have led most people to sticking together, helping each other and giving each other hope. It’s movies and other fictional media that tells us humans will tear each other apart if our systems fail but that’s just wrong. The opposite happens. One of many examples for this is post war Europe and how people rebuilt whole countries with basically nothing. People stick together when times get hard.
When hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans the community north over a bridge into a dry land having white part of town had the county sheriff or police dept threaten any of those trying to come into his town with (stupid youtube censor) and as I recall they did fire warning shots. Others used it as an opportunity to go sniping under the guise of protecting property from looters, and, of course, innocents ceased to be as a result. Now, if that doesn't qualify as humans being shit to each other during a catastrophic situation...
People are not the same as they were then. They had religion and more ethical belief system, work ethic, and the "patriotic" beliefs were much stronger. People believed in their governments and in each other. That ain't today.
@@elizabthharris6741 nope, I strongly disagree on that! That’s the problem with religions and political systems: they all want to make you believe that without them the world would be falling apart and people would be killing each other. In reality most of the times when groups of people start killing each other, it’s BECAUSE of politics or religion. Don’t get me wrong, religion and political system have gotten humanity a long way but they are also the main cause of war and evil. I strongly recommend the book(or audiobook) “Humankind: A Hopeful History” by Rutger Bergman which is basically one big collection of (scientifically supported) proofs for the human nature beeing actually good and how it can be manipulated to do evil things with the help of political or religious believesystems….
I remember making a zombie apocalypse bugout bag for fun when I was about 14 or so. One of the items was literally just a chunk of bread in a ziploc bag. If the zombie apocalypse had happened, I would've had nothing to eat but a piece of moldy bread.
I'm a Fallout superfan. Before I die, I'd like to build a bunker in my yard and decorate it like it's from Fallout. Do I actually plan to survive the end of the world in it? Hell no. I plan to drink beer, play guitar, and play more new vegas. A doomsday man cave, if you will.
See that's not bad at all i think a lot of people would love to have a nice cozy bunker like that, it just gets bad when you make it your whole life and involve kids in it.
I remember when during covid people bought all the toilet paper. We got tons of toilet paper, it was never a problem in my shop, but people bought it quicker than workers resupply shelves. We got daily deliveries designed for few weeks in advance, there was not a chance tp will suddenly be gone, companies still make toilet paper. But they bought it all anyway. Then people bought all pasta. After week or more they figure out "well, we need to eat it now" and they bought all spaghetti sauce. I fear more human madness and lack of brain than any disaster.
25:34 I vaguely remember watching that show as a wee lad and someone was actually building a whole castle…..out of cinder blocks. For those who don’t know, cinder locks aren’t exactly the sturdiest material, especially when you’re expecting them to withstand gunfire.
In Doomsday preppers defense: everyone should have a small emergency supply of food, toilet paper, medication, and water. Because the power can go out, there can be floods, or other disasters that change the way we function for a few hours or even a few days. And a bug-out bag is not actually that bad of an idea. Especially if someone lives in a location that there's a lot of natural disasters like Kansas with their tornadoes, Louisiana with their hurricanes, and Michigan with their blizzards. Granted a lot of these people go too extreme with it but I can sympathize with the mentality.
We all agree with them but they’re so extreme. Like it’s constantly on their mind 24/7. I’m willing to bet that there is a few of them who are scared of the result of the election.
A bug out bag is a terible idea, where do you think anyone is going to go where it si better ? 2 blocks down the road, 2 miles? 200 miles? Where would you be better off at ? Your home and neighbors are better than going into a new lowcal with people who don't know you and expecting them not to straight up murder you as an outsider.
It's not doomsday prepping to have a supply of food and a go-bag. There's a difference between being aware that your electricity could go out or you might have to evacuate your city in a hurry, and literally building a fucking bunker and stocking it with enough supplies to last months, if not years. One is smart, the other is paranoia.
One of the most daunting things after habitually watching doomsday preppers is just realizing how many of these people believe in just taking stuff from you by force, not really even grasping that THEY are the exact problem that they're preparing for.
I was visiting DC when COVID hit and it was wild how people were panicking when faced with minimal inconveniences, let alone critical loss of infrastructure.
I am the daughter of two parents on the more extreme side of preppers. they are very paranoid and I remember as a child being afraid all the time. they constantly would talk about plagues and war etc etc. We had giant barrels of water and entire rooms dedicated for this stuff. As an adult now I have an emergency bag but that’s as far as I’ll go. In retrospect their paranoia was on the level of mental illness in my opinion.
Watching that family had me feeling bad for the kids, it reminded me of Christian paranoia put on kids - going to hell, the rapture happening at any moment where you’re non-Christian friends will burn and die, God always watching. All the scary stuff kids hear and live in fear of :( Sorry you experienced it yourself, must’ve been totally whack
man, am i the only person who knows a “normal” doomsday prepper? a family friend of ours is a doomsday prepper and he’s been prepping since i was a baby and now that im 21 i get to appreciate everything he’s done. he never speaks about it in normal conversations, never scared his kids or other people about it. the only thing that would tip you off to it is their fairly large storm shelter that is absolutely full of supplies and weapons. and since we live in oklahoma the bunker isn’t even out of place since of the bad weather. im super sorry that all that got forced onto you as a kid, that must have been traumatic.
@@donkeyching8339 I think some just think of it as a hobby. Honestly who wouldn't want to build a bunker in their back yard that sounds cool as hell. It goes too far when you start to genuinely believe the apocalypse is nigh and you start hurting others around you.
My dad is one of these people. He has a room piled with ammo, guns, med kits, canned food, military gear, water, water filters, etc. Majority of the books he owns are books on surviving an apocalypse.
Im an ase master tech, certified hvac tech, and do everything at my house myself, ive got all brands of tools, absolutely nothing wrong with ryobi. Anyone that complains about tool brands cant use them properly to begin with, still love you papa meat.
I have multiple Milwaukee drills but 90% of my little nonsense projects are fine with my POS Black and Decker that is 25+ years old. People will break drill bits and blame the drill, or try to use old battery packs that get 4 minutes of power.
I think a bunker would be sick, worse comes to worse, I’ll have a safe shelter, best case scenario, cool hangout spot with the boys, ultimate slit screen halo night
@@jacobolivard5366 I'm from Washington but live in Texas now.... In both states, the amount of people who die from leaving their generators on IN THEIR HOUSE during snow storms is utterly baffling.
I'm definitely on the level 2 paranoid side of the prepping spectrum. I grew up in a rural area where we would lose power for a few days to a couple of weeks, so I've definitely benefitted from being prepared. All of my vehicles have a little kit with a couple of gallons of water, some trail food, and a change of clothes. It's just nice to have in case you need it.
I grew up in a neighborhood where, every time the wind blew, eight houses on my side of one street would lose power. And because it was only eight houses, we were at the bottom of the electrical company's repair list, so we'd go days without power on a routine basis. As adults, my sister and I have both been confused by having partners question why we keep flashlights in our bedside tables.
I used to laugh at doomsday preppers but I get it now due to inflation. I live in fl and slightly prep for hurricane season. Ppl buy water like they’re a fish.
I always keep a couple cases of water and some canned foods, toiletries, medicine etc. and such on hand specifically for hurricanes. Had a bunch of meat frozen when I noticed inflation hitting and just recently getting near the end of my supply. After seeing the prices recently at the grocery store I am not looking forward to that reality check on the finances.
You can still laugh at the guy who blew his thumb off and passed out. The man of the house, the leader, face down in the driveway bleeding as the camera crew keeps rolling and the kids stand there waiting for direction. The best laid plans of mice and men....
My aunt is a doomsday pepper she has 2 rooms and a garage full of food water and supplies even the closet is full of liquor for trading purposes, and she is one of the smartest women I've ever met
@@evilgibson Smart preppers live in Florida and try and get as close to Tampa as possible. According to a lot of "nuclear war" type of charts it's technically a prime target. You would want to be one of the first to be wiped out rather than deal with the aftermath of what is to come in order to just survive. Even many preppers out there won't survive because it would be survival of the fittest which would include finding a way to grow food when the soil is no longer safe to grow food in for generations. (Vermont would be the "safest")
I assembled a bug-out bag once. Then I considered typical prepper scenarios where "the sheet hits the fan" and couldn't help but ask myself: Why is bugging out better than hunkering down in the safety of my own home? So I don't have a bugout bag anymore. Still have all the goods, but they're used for recreational hiking/rugged camping.
I'd assume in the case of a house fire (it's already in your car or something), ac goes down in the desert and you can't get it fixed for a few days so you need to stay with someone, hurricane or other natural event where you need to evacuate. Like, having some clothes and essentials packed and ready seems fairly sensible.
In case you have to evacuate. If a raging forest fire is heading your way, there is no hunkering down. If there is a record breaking blizzard threatening to take out power in your city and you have friends/relatives who are outside of the area, it might be safer to grab your bag and get outta there before the storm hits.
Bugging out is the superior option in case of: - natural disasters that disallow you staying in your house eg. floods, hurricanes/tsunamis/tornados, volcanos breaking out -- if you live in an area prone to any of this and possibly more I cant remember rn - your region turning into a warzone: staying as a civilian in an active warzone is just suicide with extra steps, getting out increases your survivability exponentially while reducing the possibility to be blown apart, shot, gassed or various other fates that can happen to a civilian near an active combat area or in occupied territories. Getting somewhere without major fighting just requires a small amount of supplies typically, especially if your own nations army is actually giving a fight and slowing/stopping the invaders.
@@idk-imacat I remember my car breaking down on a desert highway and it was about 9 hours before someone stopped to help. Fortunately, I keep a 24-pack of bottled water in my trunk, some cans of food, and a quilt, because it almost looked like I was going to spend the whole night in the desert. It was comforting to know I wasn't going to die anytime soon. So I definitely recommend having at least two days of water and a blanket if nothing else.
Nick casually references a traumatising video as if it were a casual ice-breaker at the 7:12 mark and the Meat-Man jus briefly acknowledges it and passes on, this is a synonym for my psychology. Nick, you've some dark shit dragging behind you, but at least you're paired with the man who pushes dark shit in front of him. Great symbiosis.
Literally had to search for a comment as it threw me off, is it some sort of joke about how you can never be prepared for death but just fell awfully flat ?
@@murdocgreen1247 There's a different case where some teenagers threw a big rock off a bridge or incline of some sorts and really messed up a woman, but in that case she became completely mentally disabled or as others call could call it loopy. Its possible that Nick mixed up the similar events and was making a joke about how she could of been like that one lady who was mentally disabled but either way both those cases are extremely sad and not to be joked about in such a manor. Its just disrespectful Im all about dark humor but that wasn't even a joke
@@TheBibleIsaWeirdThing thank you for the context, I was thinking same about dark humour but this quip seemed out of touch and I’m glad I’m not alone in thinking that.
I lived Hunter, you monstrous fire warlock. Your dysentery curse couldnt kill my flesh, though it came narrowly close to killing my spirit. I can only hope that watching this video doesnt turn my neighbours into doomsday prepper maniacs that dig a bunker that compromises the structural integrity of my house. I used to watch the doomsday preppers show with a friend for fun. Standouts include: The guy who permanently maimed himself with his weird crowbar multitool he was advertising via the show. The guy who blew his eardrums out by taking off his ear defenders while a friend was target shooting. The guy planning to escape a martial law takeover living in an apartment block within sight of the capitol building. The diabetic lady and her truckdriver husband who was stockpiling insulin in case of societal collapse and didnt know Insulin has a use by date. A family of preppers whose entire plan basically hinged around the wife doing all the work and the dad being able to abandon her at a moment's notice, like if she was pumping fuel in their car and the cannibal raiders arrived he already has a foot on the pedal.
Yeah, I used to think about getting into some pretty serious prepper stuff but even my meds have a shelf life that basically means that I have, if I have enough to last me to the end of that shelf life, about 3 years, tops. Then it's another 2 years of increasingly debilitating symptoms until finally I have a thyroid storm based heart attack and die. Now I just keep about 6 months worth of food, some TP, and the guns I already owned with a little +1 bullet on the side for the end of it all. If someday I manage to get a family than perhaps I'll be able to set them up to survive even passed when I'm gone but I'll make sure that the moment SHTF they know that it's kinda just "ight, clock's ticking" for me. Maybe get me a grave dug while my body can still do it. I get told that "that's dark" or "that's super morbid" or even asked "doesn't that scare you!?." It's like, "Nah, I'm being objective about it. I don't 'feel' anything about it. Just understanding what's to come and what I need to do to maintain me and mine in an ideal circumstance of a shitty situation."
The silo in Canvas (lol) sounds like a good setting for a movie. 15 floors of completely paranoid lunatics that can't leave because of wolves and such.
Even if you stockpile 6 months of supplies, odds are if a "Doomsday" situation is happening, it's going to last longer than 6 months and end civilization as we know it. You and your bunker will either be obliterated, or if you do survive will be royally Eff-'d when that 6 months ends and you run out of supplies. If you truly want to prep for "Doomsday" you better be learning skills that will help you in survival in the collapse of society. Hunting (Without guns), cooking and starting fires (Without matches), building shelters, basic medical treatment, etc. That type of stuff, and even that is only going to get you so far in a true doomsday situation. Having 6 months of bush's baked beans is a laughable and shortsighted approach to what we are labeling "Doomsday". I don't think people realize how bleak survival would be in those situations. The only time it makes any sense to just stockpile supplies in that way is if you are dealing with some kind of natural disaster, where help could be on the way but will take time. And the supplies can help you hold out. But that's not what most of these people are prepping for. It's the end of the country, end of the world type stuff.
Situations such as the Younger dryas impact makes both of these scenarios irrelevant and is proof cave people had the best insight. Unga bunga peoples missed their rock homes so they built new ones ☝️ rock is friend
True, but I do think if my grandparents had 6 months of beans stored up it might have made things a little easier for them during the great depression or ww2. My grandfather left my grandmother in the vehicle with the kids to go in and buy groceries and and when he went to use his rations to get the sugar some lady yelled at him because she thought he was single and didn't deserve sugar. 😂😂😂
I mean, most preppers arent prepping for "the end of the world". Most of them are prepping for real world emergencies, despite what you saw on the history channel.
fun thing, my dad is the most extreme level of dooms day prepper. he's a part of a "community" (take your guess at which one) where people with underground bunkers connect and plan to meet at that bunker when the apocalypse comes. he's been collecting and replacing his shelf stable items since 1999 when he started prepping for y2k.
I dated a girl in high school whose dad was on the extreme side. It was impressive, but it was also kind of funny because he was the kind who thought he was prepping for "the end." BUT he also had chronic illnesses and requires several daily medication, including insulin, so survive. Sooooo....I mean he would be screwed anyways.
Mormon here! Our family is a level two prepper, we have a food storage in our basement, and a generator that we use when we loose power in the winter. Once during a storm my dad let an elderly member use our generator and we just used a kerosene stove to heat up the house. I also like to keep a battery powered radio and a few flashlights on hand just in case. We have 72 hour kits in case Something like a wildfire or a flood in the area were to happen, and we grow our own garden. It’s not our entire life like borderline obsession, we just like to follow the Boy Scout motto of being prepared. Also my battery transistor radio is great for camping trips, I used to have a hand cranked radio with a solar flashlight that I would bring to summer camp.
tbh as long as you're not a total schizo about it, more power to you, can't say I haven't prepped a little bit. I think it's good for people to hope for the best but stay prepared for the worst.
You're 100% correct, imo. But if you meet someone who calls themselves a doom prepper there's a pretty high chance they're not the "I've prepared food, water, and a place to stay in case of a natural disaster" type of people, but instead the "I LIVE IN CONSTANT FEAR THAT THE RUSSIANS ARE GOING TO POISON MY TOWN'S WATER WITH A MIND CONTROLLING VIRUS! I'M PREPARED FOR THIS VERY SPECIFIC SCENARIO AND NOTHING ELSE!" type of people. lol
I'm a 1.41 level prepper. A couple week long natural disaster isn't insane, also that's the most food I can put in my cupboards and rotate through regularly. Probably get a generator someday. If it's months either the National Guard shows up or no plan is going to hold up... so yeah. If I need to bug out, it's to a relatives house in a neighboring state.
Fun fact. The bunker house in Vegas was the inspiration for the set design of the bunker for the movie “blast from the past” featuring Brandon Frazier.
My mom wasn't a "prepper" but she and my grandmother were so naive! Any semi-catastrophic event was something they took seriously. They fell into conspiracy theory traps, the "end times" narrative, and they even believed 2012 *was* the year of the End of The World. I tried to tell them calm down. They caused so much existential anxiety in my life.
Most nuclear weapons these days don't produce a significant amount of fallout. Assuming they don't break out the old multi megaton nukes, there's not much chance of making the world uninhabitable. The main worry these days is being in the blast radius and the sheer destruction.
@@blindmownway to show you are uneducated lmao, go look up Nuclear War projection maps, there are *dozens of hardened targets* across every country, some of which would require multiple nuclear weapons to penetrate, Ground Penetration weapons will throw immense amounts of fallout into the atmosphere
@@blindmown yeah the military makes there weapons weaker also in other breaking news the tooth fairys real 😂 yeah ok even if you arent making this up you are just being lied to the us military always has tech like ten years ahead of the public they prob have something that makes icbms loaded with atomic war head look cute like whos to say they actually stopped making rods from god then just told the public yeah are warheads are smaller 😂when they do ten x the damage
That stuff about the nukes is actually legit assuming you are far enough away that it might actually make a difference. Look up the story of the Japanese guy who survived both nukes. He would be dead if he didn’t dive into a ditch for cover
I was in Japan when COVID first started, and before the real insanity took off in the West. Everyone was being cautious and civilized and even we were seeing those "stop buying all the toilet paper" signs.
My favorite aspect of Doomsday preppers is asking them why they hope these terrible things will happen, and watching them have to go through layers upon layers of justification for why they are excited for billions of people to die. DISASTER preppers are sensible. Doomsday preppers are insane.
100 percent this. Huge difference between the 2. Disaster preparation is great, smart especially depending in where you live, vs Doomsday folks are almost comical with it. They feel like they're begging for an apocalypse haha it can be quite goofy
Ooh disaster prepper is a much better term! Going through some financial disaster right now and I'm really thankful for the food I bought and saved over a year ago. I'm working on getting a garden established for food, but I really really wish the city code jerks would leave me alone. 😂
@@Joe-ti7qd You’re wrong in at least one case lol 26:38 while I agree that’s not the case for all folks prepping for the end of the world, it certainly is for at least some. Don’t be disingenuous, now.
I'm a doomsday prepper, I keep a weeks worth of shelf stable food, a good bottle of hard liquor, and a nice strong rope.
That's what I'm talking about.
That's not a bad idea actually.
You're prepping for Tuesday, not doomsday. More practicality, less mental illness. 👍
That sounds like my plan for any minor inconvenience.

my dad was a level 2.5 doomsday prepper. he died in 2022 and clearing out his hoarder home by myself was really difficult and interesting. a box of mac and cheese had a false bottom for ammo. he had the go bags but everything expired. he saved medications, like 15 year old leftover antibiotics from dental work. so old they could just as much harm you as help you at that point. he spent so much time, money and energy toward being prepared it really held him back in life. it didnt give him much comfort or solace. it was an attempt to control something you can't. an anxiety rabbit hole. then once you have a stockpile you are afraid of being raided or attacked for it.
thats why I hate the term prepper as well as that dumbass series. Preparedness is something everyone should do. being paranoid and letting fear rule you into making it your whole self identity is what ruins you as well as the look on everyone else who just wants to be able to continue normalcy during bad times.
You really only need 1 years worth of food stockpiled. That’s so you’ll have something to eat while you’re planting and waiting for food to grow. I wish your dad had got into stacking silver and gold. It would’ve been a good amount of wealth he could’ve left you. You could keep it incase there’s an economic collapse or sell it.
Doesn't matter. He understood that he was prepared for something that might never happen, but IF it did, he was still better off than those that mocked or criticized him for it, and even if it didn't curve his worry or anxiety, it still demonstrated that he followed through with his priorities. For you to say it "held him back" is kind of subjective. We look at those of you that feel this way as careless and naive about the stability of the environment and the fact that most of you take it for granted. All due respect.
@@StrelokTheStalker "held him back" could mean a large range of things and severities that we dont understand as outside observers with only a short paragraph of context. Paranoia, anxiety, ostracization, and throwing your limited resources into a seemingly reasonable but practically infinite money pit can all have quite tangible negative effects on someone and to dismiss that entirely to someone who saw it first hand seems quite silly lol. With all respect.
@@StrelokTheStalker broski, if you are alone its probably not even worth to prep
Fun fact: The hide under your desk thing for schools for nukes Was because if theyre outside the evaporation Radius and within the shockwave they dont get glass and debris launched into their face
That and you don’t want their last moments to be of sheer terror. It’s the little things that matter.
That’s pretty much all nuclear shelter tactics. In the army they taught us basic techniques to make your survival chance go from 0.001% to 0.01% and that’s if you’re outside of the blast zone and with hazmat gear.
Yeah but will it protect them from the autumns
@@zedsdeadbaby3481no, only winter.
@clownworld4655 even without hazmat gear you should be alright if the blast doesn't cause the building to cave in like a brick building. (Depends if the nuke touched ground or detonated in the air obv) cuz if it's a air detonation the radiation would persist for like 2 days which is enough time to get a hazmat suit on mor maybe just check what's goin' on

I thought I was a level 1 prepper at the beginning, but apparently, I'm level 3, according to the video. When I was in the military, I'd take the stuff no one wanted from everyone's MREs and save them for an emergency. Everyone thought I was weird until we were left high and dry during the ice storms in Texas for a couple of weeks, and I still had food. People think the government will come and save you during an emergency, but they can barely save themselves. You don't have to go crazy but having 2-3 weeks of food, water, and toiletries for the family will make a big difference when a disaster happens.
I was living in Texas when that happened. My father was into preparedness so I learned about it from him. He wasn't hardcore. Stock up for emergency situations. If he had the money though, he probably would have bought a bunker as a just in case. I agreed with being prepared for emergencies, having a bug out bag for evac, being able to survive in a disaster zone for weeks on your own if necessary.
But the Texas grid situation really made me realize just how important it is to be prepared for shit hitting the fan, even if said shit is only temporary. It could have been a lot worse than it was.
Being stocked up for a month and being able to protect yourself isn't a bad idea. Police can't get to you fast in the best of circumstances.
you mean Texas Government. It is incredibly incompetent.
@@charleshyde6461I would call 3 minutes pretty damn fast.
If you disagree, the only way I can see it being quicker is to have an officer posted outside every house.
Don't know about you, but that is not something I want.
Even the government recommends you have a few weeks worth of supplies in case of emergency situations where it could be weeks before anyone is even able to get to you.
Being a level 1 prepper should be standard honestly having a first aid kit and emergency supplies for at least a week will at worst improve your quaility of life during an emergency. Level 2 is understandable if you live further from the city road becomes unusable because of an enviromental factor it will take a long time for the city to get out and fix it
When I lived near the mountains, it was standard to keep about a month's worth of supplies during winter because it wasn't uncommon for it to snow heavy enough that the plows couldn't get through so you were going to be stuck for at least a week or longer.
As someone who lives in Arkansas and will be on the lowest priority for the government to reastablish healthy livability , if the government is over thrown or money becomes worthless, remember that eating is your only means of surviving (really you can find fresh water just about anywhere) and a few cases of spam that lasts decades will not hurt your living odds , a few solar rechargable stuff won't hurt either.
Something Americans dont think about because they never had to fight a foreign enemy on their own soil: Level 2 (The Bug-Out-Bag especially) should be Level 0 really. Especially if you live in an area prone to warfare. Being able to take a bag with your most important shit in a moments notice and go somewhere safer can help you survive a hostile invasion.
It might very well be the difference between becoming collaterel damage or surviving in the first few weeks of a major war as a civilian.
My thoughts exactly. Back in 2010ish, my dad's house in Michigan got hit with a horrible winter storm. We didn't have power for three days and couldn't get to the store, and I'm pretty sure my dad had been laid off shortly before. With all that said, we did just fine because there was plenty of non-perishables in the basement and he had plenty of those propane heaters. Those three days would have been absolutely horrid if he wasn't prepared. Honestly, I'm more worried about a winter storm like that than an apocalypse, but I also like to keep my pantry full.
I'm probably a level 2 or 3 lol I legit have stocks and emergency ssupplies, practice foraging and gardening plus learning how to use foraged plants as first aid and emergency equipment (btw, you can eat an entire pine tree so long as it's not a toxic variety 😅), hoard seeds, hoard books about living wild, ensure my kids have basic DIY skills to fix a home, fix a car, build things, understand the difference between toxic and safe plants, and have some basic medical skills. Me and my family will be totally fine. Weird, but fine
I remember there was an episode where the preppers' doomsday strategy was to become post-apocalypse raiders and pillage from everyone else. But they were all comically overweight, so it just accentuated the LARP
That was actually the last episode called "we are the marauders" ... and yeah that guy was so outrageously overweight he wouldnt make it past day 5 cause his diabeetus would get him first.

I’m counting on all my extra fat being sustenance for my family in the bunker when the time comes.
My mother in law is big on prepping. I love doing it as an activity but i dont really stock like she does. I never really got it until my fiance and i were incredibly low on money because i took time off due to my mom passing and then got COVID. She stopped by and kindly gave us a bunch of amazing tasting and healthy food she had freeze dried. Soups, veggies, fruits, etc. It was so incredinky helpful and useful.
The way to do it is to stock extra shelf stable stuff you'd normally eat. Then you just use the old stuff first and try to maintain somewhat of a surplus. Buying in bulk can save some money in the long run too.
@@SomeGuyAsWell this^^^ I 100% agree. She also taught me how to forage which is so fun and if I ever need it, I have it in my back pocket but I don't want to buy an ungodly amount of random food and just have it forever lol
You MIL sounds like a sane prepper. Those people are usually really chill and just like having reserves. It's the ones that think they need 50K rounds of ammo and 250 guns that scare me, and I'm a gun owner.
@@SomeGuyAsWellthis is how all preppers operate. The meme of preppers having to eat thousands of items just before they go off and then replace them all is just not true at all. My wife and I prep and nobody would ever know. Just the concept that being prepared in life is "paranoia" is so stupid.
People treat it like it’s for specifically the end of the world but it’s for when you’re in need. Even in trivial things like when my shoes get wet at work I got dry socks in my bag in my car
The "level one" on this was interesting to hear, because where I grew up, that wouldn't be considered "doomsday prep" of any sort- just standard preparedness.
There's an expectation that you'll be prepared to survive 72 hours in case of certain natural disasters. We also had discussions in school multiple times about what we would do in case of a natural disaster like an earthquake... problem with those is everyone was shot down no matter what they said so kids stopped caring lol.
But the reason is due to our location, which was at higher risk for certain natural occurrences, so it was something we had to know about. My family has always had some extra things in the garage because of that. Everyone also was taught to be ready for power outages, since we do get those when the wind rolls in during autumn. You're just expected to have some flashlights and such ready, and we have various card games to play. Disney Princess Uno is a favourite.

Grew up Mormon in Southern Utah, Mom was a hardcore prepper and for the entirety of my childhood I legit thought that the world was gonna end by the time I became an adult. Thought I was gonna have to raise my family in the woods and fight off one world order soldiers. She had a moment of clarity when she told me to go to college and I said "what's the point if the world is gonna end soon?" Fifteen years later things toned down, she ditched the doomer forums, fixed her marriage, I went into the trades (fuck college), got married and have two kids now, turns out Mom and Dad had a really rocky marriage that gave her anxiety that she thought she could fix with doomsday prepping. Still, all that stockpile came in clutch during the 2008 crash and covid. Moral of the story: the world ain't gonna fuckin end, but get yourself a nice windfall for when times get tough

@@grugnotice7746hell yes, I like the optimistic nihilistic approach in this comment. You don’t see that every day.
I'm a Mormon from southern California and yeaaaaah my parents, even though their Mormon too, never were THAT paranoid about the second coming or the world ending. Even for most standards id say their pretty down-to-earth people and recognize the differences between our religion and the world. If anything the only "preparation" stuff we have is some extra water bottle packs from costco, some canned foods, and a whole box of M.R.E's but only because my dad is a veteran and he bought a lot when we were kids because we liked trying something new and hearing my dads military stories while we ate them. But im happy that you and your mom were able to see and fix the issues or struggles in your lives.
I just did the math for everyone curious. For the Costco food buckets:
Say you're a family of 4, like mine. With 150 meals in each, you'd need 2.5 buckets per person if you ate 1 meal a day as a ration strategy. Which means you'd need 10 buckets a year in total. Times that by 5 years as a safety measure, that's 50 buckets of food. Each bucket is approximately $80. Times that by 10 for a years worth for 4 people, you're looking at $800, so already, you have more servings per person for the same amount of time at a huge discount. Now, you want 5 years worth, because you want your family to fucking THRIVE, so you end up buying 50 buckets to last 5 years. That's $4,000. You can spend the same god damn amount you would for the expensive buckets and get more food that will last you 5x's as long.

Doomsday people use a few slices of cheese and a jelly packet to determine when the apocalypse begins
Who told you that? WHO!
"Now, if you put a slice of cheese on the plate, put a Welch's grape jelly packet label-side down on the cheese, & put another slice of cheese on top of the jelly packet, that means the end of the world is here & our days are numbered."

As a Veteran, a ‘bug out bag’ is honestly the only real thing I support myself. When you need to make an emergency move even for just temporary situations, it’s a great thing to have that I recommend to anyone. A bug out bag isn’t quite intended for long term intention and in the service we actually called it a 72 hour bag. If you get stuck for a few days, you’re covered. I honestly consider it a level one prepper, but hey still a great video as always

19:22 In college, I wrote a 10-minute screenplay for a class and because "it was the style at the time", it was a zombie apocalypse dark comedy. And I wrote the "all is lost moment" as someone walking into the living room to tell the rest of the survivors "The internet stopped."
My mother is one and it's been her obsession for the last 12 years.
She's 73, and I wish she would just enjoy the years she has left and not worry about the end of the world.
Yea after a certain age prepping beyond having food and water for atleast couple weeks doesn't make sense. You're not gonna survive a real nation wide disaster. But it's often times a trauma response from living through extreme scarcity like the great depression or similar levels of poverty
It's just the human condition for most. Living in fear. The fear creates all these problems. If not for the fear of death, everyone would be content and not be concerned with end times and permanence.
@@bryansuarez2396 agreed, the human condition is knowing death is inevitable but convincing ourselves stalling it is more important than enjoying what we CAN control

Respectfully at that age I wouldn’t be worried about doom prepping. If the end of the world comes and you’re that old your chances of survival are slim. I’d rather just peacefully pass.

what does he store for oiling gun or lube it?
During Covid I was a Military Police officer in Southern California, we had people from all over the state try and come on our base just to go to our grocery store (former veterans and their families have access) and I let a lady in a red truck in, I saw her drive out of base with the bed of her truck completely full of TP and paper towels, next time I went to the grocery store there was nothing available to us active duty members who weren’t allowed more than 30 miles away from base, I was pissed so I started denying people access, they would drive 2-3 hours or more to base, buy out our commissary of canned goods and other stuff and then leave, meaning us AD people and our families on base couldn’t get the stuff we needed.
That sounds Horrible tbh
The hand that giveth, will also take away. I hope you don’t experience the spicy feelings
😂 i mean tax money is payed buy both sides😂
Are you talking about Ft Irwin? I was living there and that shit happened all the time during covid. Usually a military wife let in their cousin or friend and they ransacked the commissary together. Guards in front of the store were always overworked and understaffed so they gave up halfway which led to more chaos. It's fine if it was one or two, but it was far too many. Closest town to the base was Barstow which was about an hour away, so it's not like many of us had anywhere else to go. We were also in the barren desert so not much to go around in general.

@@sensaiuriah5440 Yeah, it's not meant to make me survive the apocalypse, it's meant for "bugging out" when my house is the danger and the goal is to avoid losing some small things that are hard to replace.
I used to think of doing this, thinking of what things I'd save if my house burned down. All of it ended up being useless ideas when my house did actually burn down from a freak accident when I was away. Rebuilding your life and what you've lost is a difficult battle for a couple years after, but once your life gets back on track it just feels like the blink of an eye.

I dabbled in doomsday prep ... I'd fall somewhere in the stage 1-2 categories. Some prepper information is good for anyone, some prepper goods are useful for anyone. If you don't go ape$hit crazy like some of these bunker people, and you simply look for things with multiple uses, you can enhance your preparation for LIKELY situations like the electricity going down for days at a time. For example, I bought a 2 kW backup solar generator, but I put it into everyday service. It reduces my electric bill. And it's really nice to have that mobile power.
One other example: I bought a countertop water distiller. It instantly and 100% solved the issue of access to pure water. I use it daily to purify my tap water.
Basically, there's value in learning some of the cool products (and information) that you might realistically use everyday.
What's so bad in your tap water?
Distilled water needs to be supplemented with minerals and nutrients. Otherwise you’re just dehydrating yourself very slowly.

Truth is, while a lot of these guys are cringe, they'll be better off than people living in the cities and relying on Starbucks and Fresh Thyme for survival. Empires fall. It'll happen eventually, somehow and some way. First to die will be the ones who 1. can't protect themselves, 2. are around large groups of people and 3. don't have practical or survival skills.

I'm not paranoid of the world ending, I just think it's wise to be ready for a rough day or two.
The gas mask is also modified for airsoft larping, so it's not that crazy to keep it ready to go. I use a mock 3d printed filter for airsoft.

0:57… controlling fire confirmed
I prep to some degree. I try to keep a couple of weeks of backup supplies, an extra month of medications, etc. I live in the midwest and previously lived on a coastal town in Florida. Its a good idea to have some spares on hand when bad storms hit that could tank power, contaminate water, blow out communications, that type of thing. Having dehydrated, or shelf stable items, a basic first aid kit, some potable water, again not a terrible idea. Where it jumps the shark, I think is maintaining years of supplies, burying supplies, massive bug out kits. If it really goes south that badly, getting away from populated areas is gonna be far more important. At that point, skill sets will be far more important, than massive preps. Knowing how to forage, make fire, identify herbal medicine plants, planting a garden, making alcohol, preserving food, and all that will be far more valuable than massive stockpiles.
At least in the actual doomsday this guy could make his own fire.

Agreed, and some times I'll spend money on some of the less practical stuff because I like the extra security, like do i really need a gas mask in my day to day life?

I live in a state that gets bad snow and ice storms. So, every fall we stock up on essentials (batteries, medicines for colds, soup, paper towels and toilet paper, water...). We've lost power for a week before. I remember it being so cold in the house we saw our breath. Luckily my house has two fire places so we had options for light and warmth.
Every generation has believed it is living at the end of history, yet here we are. The smart bet is on humanity in modernity EVERY time.
It’s not about the end of history it’s about situations like the great depression where people were starving and the system wasn’t working
BOO this man! Team meteor all the way.
Still, we are pushing our luck here. What happens when we run out of oil, coal, metals? Those aren't replaceable, and the way things are going humanity may have to quit cold turkey. It will hurt.
I don’t think we will ever experience an extinction level apocalypse in our lifetime.
What we should fear is a collapse of modern civilization. That is very much feasible.
Humanity will survive, society will not.
civilization has collapsed many times. humanity survives, but looters would still be willing to take everything you have.
The only “Doomsday” prepper I ever saw that made sense was a Survivalist, he didn’t hoard supply’s or ammo, he made a good point that in the apocalypse ammo and supply will run out quick, instead he knew how to hunt, forage, build shelters, and craft his own arrow and spears.
My dad was one of these doomsday preppers, especially for the supposed "Second Coming of Christ" in 2012. Yes, the same year as the Mayan calendar's end.
He also believed in a giant moon or an asteroid named "Neburu" or something like that, that would crash down on Earth and somehow bring the dead back to life (if Christ's coming didn't do that already).
The guy was nuts, and abusive to boot. He thought we were all insane for not following him. He stocked up on "zombie-grade" bullets and planned on turning our basement into a makeshift bunker. He was one of those Ancient Aliens bingers too, and loved sinking his teeth into internet articles while drinking whiskey.
Needless to say, the only end that's come since then is his own. Rest in peace, Dad. You crazy, crazy bastard.

Basically all catastrophical situations in the recorded past of human kind have led most people to sticking together, helping each other and giving each other hope. It’s movies and other fictional media that tells us humans will tear each other apart if our systems fail but that’s just wrong. The opposite happens. One of many examples for this is post war Europe and how people rebuilt whole countries with basically nothing. People stick together when times get hard.
Not usually at the start. There tends to be panic.
But once things kind of settle, yeah, I'm sure many people would work together.
When hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans the community north over a bridge into a dry land having white part of town had the county sheriff or police dept threaten any of those trying to come into his town with (stupid youtube censor) and as I recall they did fire warning shots. Others used it as an opportunity to go sniping under the guise of protecting property from looters, and, of course, innocents ceased to be as a result.
Now, if that doesn't qualify as humans being shit to each other during a catastrophic situation...
People are not the same as they were then. They had religion and more ethical belief system, work ethic, and the "patriotic" beliefs were much stronger. People believed in their governments and in each other.
That ain't today.
@@elizabthharris6741 nope, I strongly disagree on that!
That’s the problem with religions and political systems: they all want to make you believe that without them the world would be falling apart and people would be killing each other.
In reality most of the times when groups of people start killing each other, it’s BECAUSE of politics or religion. Don’t get me wrong, religion and political system have gotten humanity a long way but they are also the main cause of war and evil.
I strongly recommend the book(or audiobook) “Humankind: A Hopeful History” by Rutger Bergman which is basically one big collection of (scientifically supported) proofs for the human nature beeing actually good and how it can be manipulated to do evil things with the help of political or religious believesystems….

A doomsday man cave, if you will.
See that's not bad at all i think a lot of people would love to have a nice cozy bunker like that, it just gets bad when you make it your whole life and involve kids in it.

I'm going to recreate vault 3 on your bunker
this is exactly the type of lie an overseer would say. I'm onto you.
How are you going to play New Vegas if electricity is shut off, due to the apocalypse outside?
I remember when during covid people bought all the toilet paper. We got tons of toilet paper, it was never a problem in my shop, but people bought it quicker than workers resupply shelves. We got daily deliveries designed for few weeks in advance, there was not a chance tp will suddenly be gone, companies still make toilet paper. But they bought it all anyway. Then people bought all pasta. After week or more they figure out "well, we need to eat it now" and they bought all spaghetti sauce. I fear more human madness and lack of brain than any disaster.
25:34 I vaguely remember watching that show as a wee lad and someone was actually building a whole castle…..out of cinder blocks. For those who don’t know, cinder locks aren’t exactly the sturdiest material, especially when you’re expecting them to withstand gunfire.
In Doomsday preppers defense: everyone should have a small emergency supply of food, toilet paper, medication, and water. Because the power can go out, there can be floods, or other disasters that change the way we function for a few hours or even a few days.
And a bug-out bag is not actually that bad of an idea. Especially if someone lives in a location that there's a lot of natural disasters like Kansas with their tornadoes, Louisiana with their hurricanes, and Michigan with their blizzards.
Granted a lot of these people go too extreme with it but I can sympathize with the mentality.
We all agree with them but they’re so extreme. Like it’s constantly on their mind 24/7. I’m willing to bet that there is a few of them who are scared of the result of the election.
That would make you a disaster prepper, not a doomsday prepper.
@@gio-f7l you're right. I didn't realize there was a difference
A bug out bag is a terible idea, where do you think anyone is going to go where it si better ? 2 blocks down the road, 2 miles? 200 miles? Where would you be better off at ?
Your home and neighbors are better than going into a new lowcal with people who don't know you and expecting them not to straight up murder you as an outsider.
It's not doomsday prepping to have a supply of food and a go-bag. There's a difference between being aware that your electricity could go out or you might have to evacuate your city in a hurry, and literally building a fucking bunker and stocking it with enough supplies to last months, if not years.
One is smart, the other is paranoia.
One of the most daunting things after habitually watching doomsday preppers is just realizing how many of these people believe in just taking stuff from you by force, not really even grasping that THEY are the exact problem that they're preparing for.
I was visiting DC when COVID hit and it was wild how people were panicking when faced with minimal inconveniences, let alone critical loss of infrastructure.
I am the daughter of two parents on the more extreme side of preppers. they are very paranoid and I remember as a child being afraid all the time. they constantly would talk about plagues and war etc etc. We had giant barrels of water and entire rooms dedicated for this stuff. As an adult now I have an emergency bag but that’s as far as I’ll go. In retrospect their paranoia was on the level of mental illness in my opinion.
Watching that family had me feeling bad for the kids, it reminded me of Christian paranoia put on kids - going to hell, the rapture happening at any moment where you’re non-Christian friends will burn and die, God always watching. All the scary stuff kids hear and live in fear of :( Sorry you experienced it yourself, must’ve been totally whack
man, am i the only person who knows a “normal” doomsday prepper? a family friend of ours is a doomsday prepper and he’s been prepping since i was a baby and now that im 21 i get to appreciate everything he’s done. he never speaks about it in normal conversations, never scared his kids or other people about it. the only thing that would tip you off to it is their fairly large storm shelter that is absolutely full of supplies and weapons. and since we live in oklahoma the bunker isn’t even out of place since of the bad weather. im super sorry that all that got forced onto you as a kid, that must have been traumatic.
@@donkeyching8339 I think some just think of it as a hobby. Honestly who wouldn't want to build a bunker in their back yard that sounds cool as hell. It goes too far when you start to genuinely believe the apocalypse is nigh and you start hurting others around you.
@@skyaero8773I agree
When does this go from mental illness to the most prepared people who will live when an emergency happens? That line is pretty thin.
My dad is one of these people. He has a room piled with ammo, guns, med kits, canned food, military gear, water, water filters, etc. Majority of the books he owns are books on surviving an apocalypse.

Im an ase master tech, certified hvac tech, and do everything at my house myself, ive got all brands of tools, absolutely nothing wrong with ryobi. Anyone that complains about tool brands cant use them properly to begin with, still love you papa meat.
I have multiple Milwaukee drills but 90% of my little nonsense projects are fine with my POS Black and Decker that is 25+ years old. People will break drill bits and blame the drill, or try to use old battery packs that get 4 minutes of power.
Good for you Mr Ryobi.

I think a bunker would be sick, worse comes to worse, I’ll have a safe shelter, best case scenario, cool hangout spot with the boys, ultimate slit screen halo night
i just want an off grid bunker so i dont have to deal with people anymore. if tis also safe for a zombie apocalypse, thats just a plus
@@marltonmanks9891 I dont care about aliens, its the people that bother me.
I live in North Texas and a few years ago during the ice and snow fiasco, people around here were losing their minds!
That's called winter where we live..
On the other hand,Don’t take much for a Texan to lose their mind.
@@jacobolivard5366 I'm from Washington but live in Texas now.... In both states, the amount of people who die from leaving their generators on IN THEIR HOUSE during snow storms is utterly baffling.
I’m certainly not paranoid or stupid and been prepared for years, i feel at ease with my mind and soul, prep folks it helps the soul.
I'm definitely on the level 2 paranoid side of the prepping spectrum. I grew up in a rural area where we would lose power for a few days to a couple of weeks, so I've definitely benefitted from being prepared. All of my vehicles have a little kit with a couple of gallons of water, some trail food, and a change of clothes. It's just nice to have in case you need it.
I grew up in a neighborhood where, every time the wind blew, eight houses on my side of one street would lose power. And because it was only eight houses, we were at the bottom of the electrical company's repair list, so we'd go days without power on a routine basis. As adults, my sister and I have both been confused by having partners question why we keep flashlights in our bedside tables.
I used to laugh at doomsday preppers but I get it now due to inflation. I live in fl and slightly prep for hurricane season. Ppl buy water like they’re a fish.
I always keep a couple cases of water and some canned foods, toiletries, medicine etc. and such on hand specifically for hurricanes. Had a bunch of meat frozen when I noticed inflation hitting and just recently getting near the end of my supply. After seeing the prices recently at the grocery store I am not looking forward to that reality check on the finances.
Your problem isn't doomsday coming, doomsday is already in Florida and it's called "Being in Florida"
You can still laugh at the guy who blew his thumb off and passed out. The man of the house, the leader, face down in the driveway bleeding as the camera crew keeps rolling and the kids stand there waiting for direction. The best laid plans of mice and men....
My aunt is a doomsday pepper she has 2 rooms and a garage full of food water and supplies even the closet is full of liquor for trading purposes, and she is one of the smartest women I've ever met
@@evilgibson Smart preppers live in Florida and try and get as close to Tampa as possible. According to a lot of "nuclear war" type of charts it's technically a prime target. You would want to be one of the first to be wiped out rather than deal with the aftermath of what is to come in order to just survive. Even many preppers out there won't survive because it would be survival of the fittest which would include finding a way to grow food when the soil is no longer safe to grow food in for generations. (Vermont would be the "safest")
I assembled a bug-out bag once. Then I considered typical prepper scenarios where "the sheet hits the fan" and couldn't help but ask myself: Why is bugging out better than hunkering down in the safety of my own home? So I don't have a bugout bag anymore. Still have all the goods, but they're used for recreational hiking/rugged camping.
I'd assume in the case of a house fire (it's already in your car or something), ac goes down in the desert and you can't get it fixed for a few days so you need to stay with someone, hurricane or other natural event where you need to evacuate. Like, having some clothes and essentials packed and ready seems fairly sensible.
In case you have to evacuate. If a raging forest fire is heading your way, there is no hunkering down. If there is a record breaking blizzard threatening to take out power in your city and you have friends/relatives who are outside of the area, it might be safer to grab your bag and get outta there before the storm hits.
Bugging out is the superior option in case of:
- natural disasters that disallow you staying in your house eg. floods, hurricanes/tsunamis/tornados, volcanos breaking out -- if you live in an area prone to any of this and possibly more I cant remember rn
- your region turning into a warzone: staying as a civilian in an active warzone is just suicide with extra steps, getting out increases your survivability exponentially while reducing the possibility to be blown apart, shot, gassed or various other fates that can happen to a civilian near an active combat area or in occupied territories. Getting somewhere without major fighting just requires a small amount of supplies typically, especially if your own nations army is actually giving a fight and slowing/stopping the invaders.
@@idk-imacat I remember my car breaking down on a desert highway and it was about 9 hours before someone stopped to help. Fortunately, I keep a 24-pack of bottled water in my trunk, some cans of food, and a quilt, because it almost looked like I was going to spend the whole night in the desert. It was comforting to know I wasn't going to die anytime soon. So I definitely recommend having at least two days of water and a blanket if nothing else.
Try and reinforce ur home/basement.
You just knocked some synapses loose with the fisher price castle i used to have one back in the 90s
0:50 fire manipulation confirmed
Nick casually references a traumatising video as if it were a casual ice-breaker at the 7:12 mark and the Meat-Man jus briefly acknowledges it and passes on, this is a synonym for my psychology. Nick, you've some dark shit dragging behind you, but at least you're paired with the man who pushes dark shit in front of him. Great symbiosis.
Dawg why did he bring that up
@@seamuso4528for real wtf. Why he bring that up. It didn't work in a joke at all
Literally had to search for a comment as it threw me off, is it some sort of joke about how you can never be prepared for death but just fell awfully flat ?
@@murdocgreen1247 There's a different case where some teenagers threw a big rock off a bridge or incline of some sorts and really messed up a woman, but in that case she became completely mentally disabled or as others call could call it loopy. Its possible that Nick mixed up the similar events and was making a joke about how she could of been like that one lady who was mentally disabled but either way both those cases are extremely sad and not to be joked about in such a manor. Its just disrespectful Im all about dark humor but that wasn't even a joke
@@TheBibleIsaWeirdThing thank you for the context, I was thinking same about dark humour but this quip seemed out of touch and I’m glad I’m not alone in thinking that.
I lived Hunter, you monstrous fire warlock. Your dysentery curse couldnt kill my flesh, though it came narrowly close to killing my spirit.
I can only hope that watching this video doesnt turn my neighbours into doomsday prepper maniacs that dig a bunker that compromises the structural integrity of my house.
I used to watch the doomsday preppers show with a friend for fun. Standouts include:
The guy who permanently maimed himself with his weird crowbar multitool he was advertising via the show.
The guy who blew his eardrums out by taking off his ear defenders while a friend was target shooting.
The guy planning to escape a martial law takeover living in an apartment block within sight of the capitol building.
The diabetic lady and her truckdriver husband who was stockpiling insulin in case of societal collapse and didnt know Insulin has a use by date.
A family of preppers whose entire plan basically hinged around the wife doing all the work and the dad being able to abandon her at a moment's notice, like if she was pumping fuel in their car and the cannibal raiders arrived he already has a foot on the pedal.
Shut up.
Yeah, I used to think about getting into some pretty serious prepper stuff but even my meds have a shelf life that basically means that I have, if I have enough to last me to the end of that shelf life, about 3 years, tops. Then it's another 2 years of increasingly debilitating symptoms until finally I have a thyroid storm based heart attack and die.
Now I just keep about 6 months worth of food, some TP, and the guns I already owned with a little +1 bullet on the side for the end of it all.
If someday I manage to get a family than perhaps I'll be able to set them up to survive even passed when I'm gone but I'll make sure that the moment SHTF they know that it's kinda just "ight, clock's ticking" for me. Maybe get me a grave dug while my body can still do it.
I get told that "that's dark" or "that's super morbid" or even asked "doesn't that scare you!?." It's like, "Nah, I'm being objective about it. I don't 'feel' anything about it. Just understanding what's to come and what I need to do to maintain me and mine in an ideal circumstance of a shitty situation."
@@camobranson09 go away, old man.
@@orwellianson I'm not even that old. I just have a genetic disease. Shit happens.
@@camobranson09 get lost, old man.
The silo in Canvas (lol) sounds like a good setting for a movie. 15 floors of completely paranoid lunatics that can't leave because of wolves and such.
There's an episode of doomsday preppers, where a family is building a mini castle. Like legit out of stone and with a draw bridge.
But... why? And why a drawbridge--were they going to build a moat?
@kitwillihnganz5972 I think it was to force people to climb the wall.
@thescaredshadow That answer is so much weirder than I expected.
Even if you stockpile 6 months of supplies, odds are if a "Doomsday" situation is happening, it's going to last longer than 6 months and end civilization as we know it. You and your bunker will either be obliterated, or if you do survive will be royally Eff-'d when that 6 months ends and you run out of supplies.
If you truly want to prep for "Doomsday" you better be learning skills that will help you in survival in the collapse of society. Hunting (Without guns), cooking and starting fires (Without matches), building shelters, basic medical treatment, etc. That type of stuff, and even that is only going to get you so far in a true doomsday situation. Having 6 months of bush's baked beans is a laughable and shortsighted approach to what we are labeling "Doomsday". I don't think people realize how bleak survival would be in those situations.
The only time it makes any sense to just stockpile supplies in that way is if you are dealing with some kind of natural disaster, where help could be on the way but will take time. And the supplies can help you hold out. But that's not what most of these people are prepping for. It's the end of the country, end of the world type stuff.
Don't listen to this guy, buy gold and silver!
@@samsh0-q3asilver and gold is only valuable in the case of economic crisis, but it's worthless in an actual world-ending situation.
Situations such as the Younger dryas impact makes both of these scenarios irrelevant and is proof cave people had the best insight. Unga bunga peoples missed their rock homes so they built new ones ☝️ rock is friend
True, but I do think if my grandparents had 6 months of beans stored up it might have made things a little easier for them during the great depression or ww2. My grandfather left my grandmother in the vehicle with the kids to go in and buy groceries and and when he went to use his rations to get the sugar some lady yelled at him because she thought he was single and didn't deserve sugar. 😂😂😂
I mean, most preppers arent prepping for "the end of the world". Most of them are prepping for real world emergencies, despite what you saw on the history channel.
Look at that FLAME CONTROL
You are the worst kind of person@xXxKxIxLxLxA-b8r
I'd love to make a suelf sufficient homestead.
Doom prepping is just to negative.
You'll poison your mind.
I would too!
0:50 he clearly controls fire
25:19 Look what they need to mimic a fraction of Fire Lord Hunter's power...
24:05 okay your mildly facetious build up of this bird call had me so unready for that actual bird trapped inside that man’s mouth. impressive
fun thing, my dad is the most extreme level of dooms day prepper. he's a part of a "community" (take your guess at which one) where people with underground bunkers connect and plan to meet at that bunker when the apocalypse comes. he's been collecting and replacing his shelf stable items since 1999 when he started prepping for y2k.
I dated a girl in high school whose dad was on the extreme side. It was impressive, but it was also kind of funny because he was the kind who thought he was prepping for "the end." BUT he also had chronic illnesses and requires several daily medication, including insulin, so survive. Sooooo....I mean he would be screwed anyways.
Mormon here! Our family is a level two prepper, we have a food storage in our basement, and a generator that we use when we loose power in the winter. Once during a storm my dad let an elderly member use our generator and we just used a kerosene stove to heat up the house. I also like to keep a battery powered radio and a few flashlights on hand just in case. We have 72 hour kits in case Something like a wildfire or a flood in the area were to happen, and we grow our own garden. It’s not our entire life like borderline obsession, we just like to follow the Boy Scout motto of being prepared.
Also my battery transistor radio is great for camping trips, I used to have a hand cranked radio with a solar flashlight that I would bring to summer camp.
tbh as long as you're not a total schizo about it, more power to you, can't say I haven't prepped a little bit. I think it's good for people to hope for the best but stay prepared for the worst.
You're 100% correct, imo.
But if you meet someone who calls themselves a doom prepper there's a pretty high chance they're not the "I've prepared food, water, and a place to stay in case of a natural disaster" type of people, but instead the "I LIVE IN CONSTANT FEAR THAT THE RUSSIANS ARE GOING TO POISON MY TOWN'S WATER WITH A MIND CONTROLLING VIRUS! I'M PREPARED FOR THIS VERY SPECIFIC SCENARIO AND NOTHING ELSE!" type of people. lol
I'm a 1.41 level prepper. A couple week long natural disaster isn't insane, also that's the most food I can put in my cupboards and rotate through regularly. Probably get a generator someday. If it's months either the National Guard shows up or no plan is going to hold up... so yeah. If I need to bug out, it's to a relatives house in a neighboring state.
Fun fact. The bunker house in Vegas was the inspiration for the set design of the bunker for the movie “blast from the past” featuring Brandon Frazier.
Brendan Fraser
That's not how you spell that name
My mom wasn't a "prepper" but she and my grandmother were so naive! Any semi-catastrophic event was something they took seriously. They fell into conspiracy theory traps, the "end times" narrative, and they even believed 2012 *was* the year of the End of The World. I tried to tell them calm down. They caused so much existential anxiety in my life.

If not really gore but the audio is haunting
So weird and out of no where lmao

I like how they think surviving a nuclear fallout is fucking simple. If a fallout happens I’m either dead or somehow survived off of poorly grown rice
Most nuclear weapons these days don't produce a significant amount of fallout. Assuming they don't break out the old multi megaton nukes, there's not much chance of making the world uninhabitable. The main worry these days is being in the blast radius and the sheer destruction.
@@blindmownway to show you are uneducated lmao, go look up Nuclear War projection maps, there are *dozens of hardened targets* across every country, some of which would require multiple nuclear weapons to penetrate, Ground Penetration weapons will throw immense amounts of fallout into the atmosphere
@@blindmown oh shit bet then
@@blindmown if one nuke goes of from a world power against another world power they will not send one or two nukes in response....
@@blindmown yeah the military makes there weapons weaker also in other breaking news the tooth fairys real 😂 yeah ok even if you arent making this up you are just being lied to the us military always has tech like ten years ahead of the public they prob have something that makes icbms loaded with atomic war head look cute like whos to say they actually stopped making rods from god then just told the public yeah are warheads are smaller 😂when they do ten x the damage
That stuff about the nukes is actually legit assuming you are far enough away that it might actually make a difference. Look up the story of the Japanese guy who survived both nukes. He would be dead if he didn’t dive into a ditch for cover
0:19 bruh rlly is trynna survive the first night 😭
I remember the toilet paper crisis. I, 21 year old, could not buy toilet paper. Some old couple I worked with gave me 2 packs of toilet paper
My employer at the time would give me a few rolls here and there 😂
@@apewhat2666 ours locked up the TP in the HE office! 🤣
I was in Japan when COVID first started, and before the real insanity took off in the West. Everyone was being cautious and civilized and even we were seeing those "stop buying all the toilet paper" signs.
My favorite aspect of Doomsday preppers is asking them why they hope these terrible things will happen, and watching them have to go through layers upon layers of justification for why they are excited for billions of people to die. DISASTER preppers are sensible. Doomsday preppers are insane.
100 percent this. Huge difference between the 2. Disaster preparation is great, smart especially depending in where you live, vs Doomsday folks are almost comical with it. They feel like they're begging for an apocalypse haha it can be quite goofy
Ooh disaster prepper is a much better term! Going through some financial disaster right now and I'm really thankful for the food I bought and saved over a year ago. I'm working on getting a garden established for food, but I really really wish the city code jerks would leave me alone. 😂
Yes very true! There is a huge difference
They don't hope for it. They are prepared for it. You took it in your own way.
@@Joe-ti7qd You’re wrong in at least one case lol 26:38 while I agree that’s not the case for all folks prepping for the end of the world, it certainly is for at least some. Don’t be disingenuous, now.
