I am 70 years old & physically disabled, Im not afraid to die. If the end of the world happens you will find me sitting on my front porch with my bong & pitcher of Margaritas.
I am also disabled. However I still prep. I also wonder how I would get my medicine for my neuropathy. That is my only medication I am concerned about. I can't hold things and the pain is so hard to deal with.😢
My mom was a firm believer in the collection of seeds and I collect and store all sorts of seeds because she taught us to do so, and taught us from early childhood how important this practice is for the future of mankind and to pass this knowledge on to our children. She had grown up on a farm and possessed a tremendously wonderful green thumb.
I have been collecting seeds from everything I'm growing for years now and it appears that some of the plants I'm growing now have become more resilient to the environment here. I am always taking the best of each crop at the beginning, the middle, and the end of the harvest season. I never toss out the seeds from previous years but keep them all dry, marked, and frozen.
I was in New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina. Society fell apart in 24 hours. No fire department no police department no phones no electricity.. 24 houses and people were driving around in trucks with guns. 24 hours is all it took. Be prepared
People driving around in trucks with guns is society falling apart? Those people where there to keep society in check. Maybe you should educate yourself before you comment. They were there to stop the looting that was happening.
What we call prepping today our great grandparents just called life. Preparation to care for yourself and family without government assistance in hard times. Settle down folks , it's just good common sense
There's prepping and then there is meal team six. having some stored food makes sense, thinking you're are Rambo when you're 200 pounds overweight is stupid. The overweight lady is neglecting and important aspect of survival, physical fitness.
@@rolandthethompsongunner64 If you want to prepare you work extra into your grocery budget. You can be in control over your economy and cut your grocery bill to afford extra. Trust me the economy and store rewards as well as a little forethought it can be done.
'Are'. I would argue that education and community are vastly superior preparation for any crisis. Preppers are just a special kind of anti-social consumer.

Up until the late 1970’s, most people living in Portugal were “preppers.” They were peasant farmers, who grew their own food and most had no electricity or running water. Most didn’t have their own cars. They could survive for years without relying on supermarkets or utilities that were only sporadically provided and unequally-distributed by governments. I lived this life as a child. It only took one generation and moving into the E.U. (which had a vested interest in destroying traditional peasant agriculture, in order to open up new markets for its multinationals) to make the average citizen in this country completely dependent for their survival on the capitalist and industrialized system.
Outstanding perspective - very enlightening! You are fortunate to have this experience, but not so much regarding the contrast of our current dark reality.
Extremely thought provoking series of videos. We must be very careful with how we proceed in the next few years and do everything we can to reduce our consumption, especially with single use plastics
When my parents were 77, they lived out on a peninnsula on the coast of Maine (beautiful spot.) They had big snow storms that winter and the power and phones went out for 2 weeks after one such storm. When they finally got phone connection, I called and asked if they were OK. Mom said, "Oh yeah! Dad's got wth wood-stove keeping us warm and I just made porkchops, broccoli and potatoes on the stove for dinner." Snow-bound but A-OK!
I had prepared a little bit before covid, when everyone was shut in, I was SO grateful that I did. That convinced ME that being as prepared as you can for what ever may suddenly come, is absolutely essential. Didn't have a lot of what I LIKED to eat...but I didn't go hungry.
Not having some or many things you don't like to eat is part of the learned hardship. You won't go hungry and you'll live to fight another day. Read you bible.
Same! I made only one grocery store visit for only perishable things like milk, fresh fruits & veggies. I have always cooked all our meals at home for 27 years so it was like any other day to me. My soon to be ex gave me grief for buying a mega pack of TP but bc of me & my preparedness he didn’t have to end up wiping his a** with a leaf or eat frozen pizza for his meals.
I think knowing how to read a map, trap a small animal , or sew, cooking , basic human needs that most of used to learn in school or camping with our family. How to drive anything with wheels, or cleaning dead animals are just great to know. I wish our country still wanted kids to know these basic living skills.
I agree I was taught to do these things at a very young age not only with wild game but also domestic animals Inc. Beef cattle, hogs, chickens , I'm 80 yrs old and I could do it if I had too..
I found that an old fashioned road map can not be obtained anymore. Gas stations used to give them away in the old days. I have an Atlas in a book but I would like to have a map so I can look at the location of streets and highways, all of them, not what "*oogle" decides to show me.

As someone that lives in a very geologically active location, preparedness is important. It's one thing to be paranoid and hyper-fixated on something that will likely won't happen, but it's wise to be prepared for whatever is possible.
We had a house fire two years ago. We lived out of our go bags after loosing everything we owned. Thank goodness we had them ready by the door. Prepping isn’t just for collapse or community wide calamity, it can help us with individual emergency like a fire or loosing a job.

I’m not a prepper, but my husband and I were both in the military. Because we moved every 2-3 years, we had our “red folder” (a zippered binder) that had passports, marriage/birth certificates, car/house titles, ssn cards, insurance cards, etc. We put all our photos on an external hard drive, and it was always in the same place everywhere we moved. A fireproof box in our bedroom closet. It was like that for the 26 years in, and we still do it today.

I've got just about everything I need. I've stockpiled non perishables, two safes worth of firearms and ammo. Survival books, medical books, over the counter medicines, gas masks, storm shelter, plastic tarps, tape, etc. Hamm radio, solar chargers, solar panels, water purification system, cases of wiskey, wine, etc. I've made a list and completed those lists on just about everything I can think of I'll need. So, I feel confident I can survive most long-term emergencies for a couple of years. Depending on how bad whatever disaster comes my families way, it then comes down to defending what we have, and that's a scary thought. Good luck folks.
"Prepping" is just the simple realization that 99% of people fully rely on convenience and society operating smoothly. Our little man made ecosystem is very temperamental. It doesn’t make you crazy to be prepared to be self sufficient for a month or two.
These prepper people are paranoid and no area in america is secure from nuclear radiation as a matter of fact most of the atomic dust from the 2122 Nuclear bombs that have already been tested are in rural off grid areas like these people live. Yet these people arent aware of their detailed surrondings. Nobody talks about that thus these people are out of touch with reality. The wind blows nuclear dust everywhere around the world and the world is already atomic with Nuclear waste from all the testing they do with nuclear weapons. So unless your in a bunker, you got no chance.
@@LeanardWashington I never really hear preppers talk about the importance of building communities. Like getting to know your neighbors and being able to rely on each other is a huge advantage. It’s literally what we did before civilization.

Yea if they say a month,assume a year.its best just to be self sufficient enough to never need them.imagine that if everyone was prepared and could handle themselves,WE WOULDNT NEED THEM ANYMORE LIKE WE DIDNT NEED THEM BEFORE THEY CAME ABOUT
exactly! That's what we have strived to do. We moved right after the lockdowns. Bought property with lots of acres. We planted fruit and nut trees, berry bushes, grapes, medicinal herb garden, a huge food garden big enough to have enough to preserve for the year+. We have a garden for our animals as well so we are not reliant on purchasing feed. We have a hay field as well. Built solar arrays to be off grid. Have portable solar generators and portable solar panels as well. Self sufficiency. We have a spring on the property, one well, and a manual pump well. We have animals and we have our protection and defense. There is always room for improvement on our property. There are ongoing projects too.
One of the greatest things we could do to prevent seed and crop disasters in the future is to return to local farming vs massive corporations. When you have the same genetic crop planted mile after mile... you're asking for eventual trouble
We have been prepping since we were kids. Old School methods. IN these times you must not rely on Gov. to keep you going. Learn cooking skills from Master Chefs ...
it is hard to do with someone that does garden backyard growing. I'm trying to grow five varieties of tomatoes and learn how to save those seeds for next year but it's not easy to do there's a lot to learn that's been lost from generation to generation
I grew up on a 200 acre farm that my grandpa did the same thing. He always said don’t buy bio engineered seeds. Keep reusing the seeds. We have here for corn so you beans, oats, wheat, alfalfa etc… dry them, and store them till next spring. Most farmers don’t do that now. Grandpa got by with a a team of four horses at first, then bought a 1956 Farmall H and a two bottom plow., 8 foot desk, etc. to go along with it. I remember as a kid instead of spring chemicals on the corn, we fitted the cultivator attachments on the H and I was able to cultivate four rows at a time sometimes six with the extensions. Grandpa never borrowed from the bank to do farming. He used what he had paid cash for his equipment, and always had seed available the next spring to plant. Tons of farmers had to go to the bank to borrow money to put their crops in the spring. On top of chemicals and fertilizers.
@@malindawilczynski2774 It turns out that this oft repeated story has been grossly exaggerated. I'm not a fan of round up ready farming, but Monsanto has not been suing anyone for getting *accidentally* contaminated by their GM seeds. That version of the story is incorrect.
Virtually all corn today is hybrid, means it's not interesting to reuse the seeds because you lose the benefits. Farmers buy hybrid and bioengineered seeds for the beneficial traits they have, like better yield and resistance to pests and diseases. They're not idiots. It's not a black and white issue.
Preppers are admirable. Even if somehow no disaster comes, they still will have worked to grasp “the marrow of life” as Thoreau called it-the business of survival at the most rudimentary level.
I'm amazed they even show this underground mega structure. It gives away that it's totally possible to build underground mega structures in the arctic. And those who say they hide technologies there, are perhaps not so crazy.
I am 66 years old and raised a child on my own. I have owned my own home now for 18 years. I have heard from friends before: "If there's ever a natural disaster, they want to be visiting me." Perhaps, it has manifested from decades of struggle but I have been "bugging in" for a long time.
Yea, well. When the US intimidates foreign countries on other continents by lining up on their borders, Id be worried too. But most America cans are killing themselves on the mountains of food additives they eat. China makes fake eggs, Americans will call it vegan eggs😂 Still the same outcome, fake food.
Count me in as preparing and have been doing so for more than 10 years. Moved to my "bug-out" location when I retired seven years ago. Being self-sufficient gives me peace of mind.

The problem with being a doomsday prepper is that they all have the same mindset of "bugging out." If something major is happening, it's not a good idea to get on the road with everyone else. Your home should be the bunker or something. Way safer and saves so much time
Speaking as the family member of a prepper, they are not heroes. They are compulsive shoppers who turn to role playing in order to justify their spending. Some of the gear is kind of neat. But if I had the choice between eating overpriced saltines with a prepper or eating irradiated corpse sludge in FEMA camps, it's FEMA all the way.

I'm sure that there's a retrieval plan. If the people who built it are smart enough to think ahead as they did in the conceptual phase, I don't doubt that access wasn't included.
I found the doomsday vault (seed bank) fascinating - That analogy "It's off the artist's palette it's the colour we can't use anymore" I'm so grateful for these scientists, trying to ensure that generations down the line may benefit from their foresight.
😂😂😂😂😂 Bruh these seeds existed before us they certainly will exist after Us these scientists ain't doing nothing but making themselves feel important 😂😂😂
I agree - I had no idea that we have lost so many strains of apples - we have no idea what a specific seed may mean for future generations. 'A Crisis of Mass Extinction' sounds serious enough that we may want to educate ourselves on the problem a little more than simply watching a 60 Minutes episode...
Ok. So, in the event of global mass destruction, this seed vault is in the middle of snowy nowhere and practically impenetrable. Does no one see any problems with this plan?
All of those seeds are good for future anthropology, but if there's no good dirt and no good water, those seeds are just Pokémon. Those seeds are programmed to germinate under the conditions that they were collected. Probably not made for real acid rain and radioactive dirt.
Katrina was a wakeup. An entire major city where total chaos broke out and no one came for days to weeks. The woman is right. The government may want to help but it is often overwhelmed.
That was because Governor Blanco did not want to give the federal government power. The support was backed up on the interstate. Unfortunately they were not letting anyone into the city.
In 2005 I was in the Indiana National Guard. The next day almost my entire company showed up prepared to go help. It took us a day to muster. Another two days to travel the 12 hours from Indianapolis to Biloxi, Mississippi. Half of our Battalion was already 16:06 deployed to Iraq. We had a 48 vehicle convoy most of the vehicles were over 20 years old. We left several vehicles on the road on the way down there. Once we got closer. We met up with a Chainsaw Church Group. Church folks clearing the roads of downed trees and debris with chainsaws so help could get through. We set up a base at a recreation area/park and set up a refugee camp with a hospital and food bank . From the second day through the first month we were visably armed with M16 assault rifles (empty mag in, mag w/ live rounds in pocket just in case). Lots of the refugees were scared and had trauma some of them attacked us and each other the first few days. A lot of the first few days were spent trying to avoid riots. Being armed helped keep things calmer and safer. You have to understand there were real criminals running about hurting people too. Prisoners had to be released or they would drown in a cell. But most people are good and as a collective people we got it together. It wasn't perfect. But we survived. Hopefully we learned a lot along the way.
FEMA has lots of problems dealing with stubborn state governors (who are looking to get some credit for their political career) I lived through the nightmare of coordinating after the hurricane hit Puerto Rico.

Being prepared for 3 days down here on the Gulf is insufficient, you need to be ready for a week or more without gas, operating grocery stores, cell service, power & clean water. I never thought I’d be watching prepper UA-cam channels to keep up on preparedness technology and solutions.

Living in Dallas during the "big freeze" in 2021,🫣🙄 was my push into the prepper mindset. Dallas lost its mind over what would be a normal bad winter event far north. I am originally from the north, it was a non event for us...however, people not familiar with winter,were not prepared, people froze, people died, people panicked, I like what was said, you dont need a bunker. But having a couple weeks of non perishible groceries, extra water, blankets, and I would add firewood, will save you from nearly any short term weather emergency. Until infrastructure is repaired. We bought portable power, its not a generator, but it can allow us to keep cell phones and a lap top charged, we bought extra batteries, one time use grills. I will die if zombies take over, but I am fully prepared for a winter storm in Dallas.

I was with DOD (Army) through the 70's ... during that time, while I was there, we shut down several "NIKE HERCULES" missile sites in Michigan. Most had been build 20 years before in the 1950's. Auburn Heights (later Auburn Hills) became a community college, Farmington Hills Campus, also in Oakland county was an old site. I handled two other shut downs (I was a procurement officer). All but one of the places saved the bunkers. I asked them what they wanted to keep and what they wanted to return back to the "woods or fields" that had been there before. Of course we removed the launchers, electronics ... the saved bunkers had elevators that could handle even pickup trucks. They used them for storage of roads and grounds equipment, clever... I have to admit we used to practice going into our bunker at Mt.Clemens ... and to be honest, I went inside once. I'd rather die standing outside , as we were a target ... than come out to a destroyed world with my wife and kids gone ... to each his own.
I agree, the depression one would Face ID think would be unbearable. I live a similar life and I know what happens to the mind when in eternal despair.
I was fully prepped for the apocalypse during the pandemic. Solar systems, water filtration, weapons...was kind of upset things returned to normal...I still think situations worse than the pandemic are coming
Still, the pandemic hammered home the "avoid the masses" part of bugging out. Things during the pandemic weren't that bad, for the most part we had shelter, working electricity, food etc. but some people were already on the brink of insanity.
Let me ask you, thoughts on a generator? Solar or gas, make? I’ve been re Wally interested in learning about solar. Its the $$$ that is the problem of course.
Regardless of prepping, in the event of the apocalypse, most will die. Most don't have the mental mindset to withstand the loss of everything including family, friends, jobs, goals, pleasant amenities and entertainments, days off, phones, tv, music, and living hand to mouth defending everything with your life. Nope, most will not make it. Most won't even want to after reality sets in. Bunkers are great to withstand an immediate short term event. After that, the young, the strong, the healthy and unfortunately probably the ruthless will survive.
I know a family did. The husband is so engrossed in prepping that they haven’t lived their life in seven years… The daughter said that they have been eating the prep food for three years because their father doesn’t want it to go to waste.. She said to me my family has lost so much weight people ask us if we got Covid.. She said her biggest fear is in eight months. She’s old enough to leave but in doing so she leaves three siblings to endure Years of living in this nightmare.. So for her father’s obsession with prepping for catastrophe, he was the one that brought the catastrophe upon his own family.. So these companies are making billions of dollars off of planting fears into people. It is the families who are suffering.
That’s more on the lines of a mental health issue. Most likely, if it wasn’t that it would be alcoholism or gambling, etc. The father really needs to get mental health care. But that’s one of the country’s biggest problems. And they are only feeding into it, making it worse for everyone. Don’t think for a minute that they don’t completely understand that.
That is way to extreme. It's important to plan for weather emergencies, have a plan. But not to the point it drives you into madness. you're hurting your family and quality of life.
My local utility company wanted to know why my bill dropped a lot. They offered a free home inspection. I switched out my gas stove with a wood burning cookstove. Wood fired hot water boiler.
Great for you, not so great if millions of people suddenly went back to burning wood. Not for the environment. Where I live, used to be there were NO TREES in the mountains.

With all due respect, and taking into account for health issues, one massive thing quite a few preppers overlook is their weight and fitness. I suppose that's just because they're a subset of our already overweight population, but fitness should be in their top 3 areas to be ready.
The ideal weights we use today only work for our current paradigm. Not tonsay obesity is good either but being too slim is terrible when things aren't as easy as they are now.

Word of advice. If you are a legal gun owner. Do not tell the cops or give anyone your guns when disaster strikes like the gestoppo did during hurricane Katrina. They beat up an old lady and took her pistol she had in her bedroom. She was talking to the cops at the front door and as soon as she told them where the pistol was, they beat her up and stole her gun.

Learning how to garden in Phoenix, AZ was a surprise. The shade cloths help the daytime heat. Irrigation was useful. Night was the problem. Over 100 degrees did not let blossoms turn into fruit and vegetables. Blossoms just fell off. Nighttime temps keep increasing.
Ha! I got bit by the shade cloth monkey here in El Paso where we get 45-55 days over 100° every summer. I put up shade cloths two summers ago--got tired of watering two to four times a day-- and got stunted or no veggies such as squash, etc. Here, our plants are pollinated by the large, black carpenter bees. I realised that they would fly over the shades and COULDN'T see the blooms under the shade cloth. Took the cloth down the next summer and had a bumper crop. I now garden from late September through late May, skipping the hot months. Hope that helps your sit.

I believe in "prepping". But not for such things as dirty bombs, EMP attacks, or Yellowstone erupting. Prep for the disasters that will happen on a personal level, and are far more likely. A sudden and unexpected turn in your health, or that of a loved one. Financial setbacks, such as losing a job--such a personal loss like this, can seem far worse than fretting over some "national financial collapse". Have you "prepped" by having enough saving to tide you over? Are you watching your health---exercising, maintaining healthy body weight, eating healthy, not smoking or using drugs? Those are some of the "preps" that will help you most in life. NOT running off to some isolated location in the mountains.

While the concept of a global seed vault is commendable, I have a practical concern: In the event of a catastrophic global disaster such as a nuclear war or asteroid impact, how would survivors feasibly access and transport these seeds from such a remote location? What mechanisms, if any, are in place to ensure the distribution of these vital resources in a post-apocalyptic scenario?
@@MF-kr4hf"I appreciate your perspective, but I remain skeptical about the feasibility of such a plan. Given the devastating nature of a truly apocalyptic event, it seems highly optimistic to assume that there would be a functional system in place to retrieve and distribute these seeds. The road to rebuilding civilization would likely be long and arduous, potentially spanning generations. By the time humanity regains the technological and logistical capabilities necessary to access such a remote facility, there's a significant risk that knowledge of its existence or location might be lost.
That said, I sincerely hope my reservations are unfounded. The preservation of biodiversity is undoubtedly crucial for our species' long-term survival. Perhaps there are contingencies in place that address these concerns, even if they're not public knowledge. It's a complex issue that warrants careful consideration
The seeds aren't meant to sustain (us) in this lifetime. They're being stored and vaulted for the ecology of the new Earth once it reemerges from its next cataclysmic apocalyptic event. In other words it's a time capsule meant to be discovered by Earth's future civilizations and/or visitors.
@@great-garden-watch thank you for the info. Made me go to some homework LOL. Just learned what happens when you grow a apple tree from seed. Pretty interesting I must say.
Y’all can talk about seeds. Which is great and I’m glad you brought up the idea of family planting through generations. But when Monsanto started bioengineering plant seeds, they wouldn’t let you keep the seed and replant your fields the next spring, because they said it was their freaking property. Case in point the guy out west, I can’t remember the state and the guys name, but I specifically remember he was drying with special equipment. His soybean seeds storing them until next spring to reuse. Local farmers chimed in and said let’s all do this together so he was drawing seeds they had brought to him for them to reuse. Monsanto and they’re Blackwater hired assassins stepped in and threatened him with lawsuits, and the contractors showed up at his place and other places after they got his list of customers and threaten them physically with harm. Community was devastated because of Monsanto and bio engineering seeds.
I was thinking about what you said. Few years ago I heard on PBS about how Monsanto control the agriculture by keep doing what you mention. This show is missing so much concerning the reality of this problem. No one real farmer was interviewed, only “ experts “ that sound more like propaganda voices. Covid-19’s was not passed from bats, it was a manufactured story, to cover up the truth: gain of function. This show is leaving parts of the game out, why?

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

I remember as a kid instead of spring chemicals on the corn, we fitted the cultivator attachments on the H and I was able to cultivate four rows at a time sometimes six with the extensions. Grandpa never borrowed from the bank to do farming. He used what he had paid cash for his equipment, and always had seed available the next spring to plant. Tons of farmers had to go to the bank to borrow money to put their crops in the spring. On top of chemicals and fertilizers.

Farmers buy hybrid and bioengineered seeds for the beneficial traits they have, like better yield and resistance to pests and diseases. They're not idiots. It's not a black and white issue.

The problem with being a doomsday prepper is that they all have the same mindset of "bugging out." If something major is happening, it's not a good idea to get on the road with everyone else. Your home should be the bunker or something. Way safer and saves so much time

Preppers are heroes to their families. There's NOTHING anyone can say that's negative about them. The people who criticize them have their own issues.
Speaking as the family member of a prepper, they are not heroes. They are compulsive shoppers who turn to role playing in order to justify their spending. Some of the gear is kind of neat.

Imagine a post apocalyptic world. Where all of the worlds last seeds, are housed in a place nobody can get to.
What if the seed vault was placed there for after the upcoming pole shift. Maybe that will be the new grow zone?
And an unimaginable vault with anything you could ever want, generator, running water, large food supply, books, video games. But no one got to it in time 😭
I'm sure that there's a retrieval plan. If the people who built it are smart enough to think ahead as they did in the conceptual phase, I don't doubt that access wasn't included.

😂😂😂😂😂 Bruh these seeds existed before us they certainly will exist after Us these scientists ain't doing nothing but making themselves feel important 😂😂😂
I agree - I had no idea that we have lost so many strains of apples - we have no idea what a specific seed may mean for future generations. 'A Crisis of Mass Extinction' sounds serious enough that we may want to educate ourselves on the problem a little more than simply watching a 60 Minutes episode...
Ok. So, in the event of global mass destruction, this seed vault is in the middle of snowy nowhere and practically impenetrable. Does no one see any problems with this plan?
Definitely don't like that foul, evil Billy Gates is in any way involved.
All of those seeds are good for future anthropology, but if there's no good dirt and no good water, those seeds are just Pokémon. Those seeds are programmed to germinate under the conditions that they were collected. Probably not made for real acid rain and radioactive dirt.
Katrina was a wakeup. An entire major city where total chaos broke out and no one came for days to weeks. The woman is right. The government may want to help but it is often overwhelmed.
That was because Governor Blanco did not want to give the federal government power. The support was backed up on the interstate. Unfortunately they were not letting anyone into the city.
In 2005 I was in the Indiana National Guard. The next day almost my entire company showed up prepared to go help. It took us a day to muster. Another two days to travel the 12 hours from Indianapolis to Biloxi, Mississippi.
Half of our Battalion was already 16:06 deployed to Iraq. We had a 48 vehicle convoy most of the vehicles were over 20 years old. We left several vehicles on the road on the way down there. Once we got closer. We met up with a Chainsaw Church Group. Church folks clearing the roads of downed trees and debris with chainsaws so help could get through.
We set up a base at a recreation area/park and set up a refugee camp with a hospital and food bank .
From the second day through the first month we were visably armed with M16 assault rifles (empty mag in, mag w/ live rounds in pocket just in case).
Lots of the refugees were scared and had trauma some of them attacked us and each other the first few days. A lot of the first few days were spent trying to avoid riots. Being armed helped keep things calmer and safer. You have to understand there were real criminals running about hurting people too. Prisoners had to be released or they would drown in a cell.
But most people are good and as a collective people we got it together. It wasn't perfect. But we survived. Hopefully we learned a lot along the way.

Yeah, and people were warned nearly a week in advance and STILL sat in a city built below sea level thinking Uncle Sammie would magically do EVERYTHING for them. That's what REALLY created the "Crisis" in New Orleans. Just another FINE example of what Generational Welfare (to force them into Voting Democrat for Life) has done to Society.
Moving to hurricane country started me “prepping”, then came the pandemic, then the Texas blackout during the freeze. Mostly I’m ready to shelter in place and evacuate quickly if I need to. Natural disasters are becoming more frequent and intense.

I am originally from the north, it was a non event for us...however, people not familiar with winter,were not prepared, people froze, people died, people panicked, I like what was said, you dont need a bunker. But having a couple weeks of non perishible groceries, extra water, blankets, and I would add firewood, will save you from nearly any short term weather emergency. Until infrastructure is repaired. We bought portable power, its not a generator, but it can allow us to keep cell phones and a lap top charged, we bought extra batteries, one time use grills. I will die if zombies take over, but I am fully prepared for a winter storm in Dallas.

I was with DOD (Army) through the 70's ... during that time, while I was there, we shut down several "NIKE HERCULES" missile sites in Michigan. Most had been build 20 years before in the 1950's. Auburn Heights (later Auburn Hills) became a community college, Farmington Hills Campus, also in Oakland county was an old site.
I handled two other shut downs (I was a procurement officer). All but one of the places saved the bunkers. I asked them what they wanted to keep and what they wanted to return back to the "woods or fields" that had been there before. Of course we removed the launchers, electronics ... the saved bunkers had elevators that could handle even pickup trucks. They used them for storage of roads and grounds equipment, clever... I have to admit we used to practice going into our bunker at Mt.Clemens ... and to be honest, I went inside once. I'd rather die standing outside , as we were a target ... than come out to a destroyed world with my wife and kids gone ... to each his own.

I absolutely agree and I'm not a conspiracy person. Just look around people are getting crazier
Regardless of prepping, in the event of the apocalypse, most will die. Most don't have the mental mindset to withstand the loss of everything including family, friends, jobs, goals, pleasant amenities and entertainments, days off, phones, tv, music, and living hand to mouth defending everything with your life. Nope, most will not make it. Most won't even want to after reality sets in. Bunkers are great to withstand an immediate short term event. After that, the young, the strong, the healthy and unfortunately probably the ruthless will survive.

She said to me my family has lost so much weight people ask us if we got Covid.. She said her biggest fear is in eight months. She’s old enough to leave but in doing so she leaves three siblings to endure Years of living in this nightmare.. So for her father’s obsession with prepping for catastrophe, he was the one that brought the catastrophe upon his own family..
So these companies are making billions of dollars off of planting fears into people. It is the families who are suffering.
That’s more on the lines of a mental health issue. Most likely, if it wasn’t that it would be alcoholism or gambling, etc. The father really needs to get mental health care. But that’s one of the country’s biggest problems. And they are only feeding into it, making it worse for everyone. Don’t think for a minute that they don’t completely understand that.

With all due respect, and taking into account for health issues, one massive thing quite a few preppers overlook is their weight and fitness. I suppose that's just because they're a subset of our already overweight population, but fitness should be in their top 3 areas to be ready.
The ideal weights we use today only work for our current paradigm. Not tonsay obesity is good either but being too slim is terrible when things aren't as easy as they are now. How many animals do you see as lanky? Even when you see like gorillas and chimps with jacked looking arms they tend to have little guts. Need that for 1, explosive energy and 2, in case of scarce resources or illness.
Ideally you want an athletic build that still has some small fat stores, not any of that 6% body fat for esthetics people do today.

The only problem I have with the Svalbard seed bank is that is NOT protected against a flood. If it went underwater, all will be lost.
If there is that kind of flooding, don't worry about it. There will be no one to eat ANYTHING that these seeds will grow.

@@leifkemp Yes, she's very unfit and actually waddles. I believe she said she lives alone so she'll be one of those "I've fallen and can't get up" folks. All that food she's put up won't do much good when she's lying on the floor waiting for help. I think people need to come to terms with their personal health and fitness situation before spending money on stocking up.
💯 she’s stocking up on all the unhealthy food and saving the rest of us!
Single species food isn't about growing more food, it's about control and profit. Monsanto is a big proponent of that.
Word of advice. If you are a legal gun owner. Do not tell the cops or give anyone your guns when disaster strikes like the gestoppo did during hurricane Katrina. They beat up an old lady and took her pistol she had in her bedroom. She was talking to the cops at the front door and as soon as she told them where the pistol was, they beat her up and stole her gun.
wow really?
Back in the day all farm families and a lot of city people had pantries in there homes. People had canned food to save things that were in season etc. People didn't live from week to week with houshold supplies and groceries. The biggest problem with having a freezer full of meat would be power.
Learning how to garden in Phoenix, AZ was a surprise. The shade cloths help the daytime heat. Irrigation was useful. Night was the problem. Over 100 degrees did not let blossoms turn into fruit and vegetables. Blossoms just fell off. Nighttime temps keep increasing.
I’m in Vegas, but would love to be able to grow something as well. I’ve tried, and failed. I’m sure I’ll try again but it would really be nice.
Ha! I got bit by the shade cloth monkey here in El Paso where we get 45-55 days over 100° every summer. I put up shade cloths two summers ago--got tired of watering two to four times a day-- and got stunted or no veggies such as squash, etc. Here, our plants are pollinated by the large, black carpenter bees. I realised that they would fly over the shades and COULDN'T see the blooms under the shade cloth. Took the cloth down the next summer and had a bumper crop. I now garden from late September through late May, skipping the hot months. Hope that helps your sit.
What about an indoor garden, I know the plants would have to be near a window or you could use fluorescent lights.
The reason I'm serious is because we no longer warehouse. We "Just in time" manufacture what little manufacturing we do. I'm a 60 year old IT specialist with median income, I don't make alot of money but I've spent a little here and a little there, got filter for water and water in jugs and dried goods along with stove and pot and tent and sleeping bag, knife and gun.
I believe in "prepping". But not for such things as dirty bombs, EMP attacks, or Yellowstone erupting. Prep for the disasters that will happen on a personal level, and are far more likely. A sudden and unexpected turn in your health, or that of a loved one. Financial setbacks, such as losing a job--such a personal loss like this, can seem far worse than fretting over some "national financial collapse". Have you "prepped" by having enough saving to tide you over? Are you watching your health---exercising, maintaining healthy body weight, eating healthy, not smoking or using drugs? Those are some of the "preps" that will help you most in life. NOT running off to some isolated location in the mountains.
My friend was one of "these people" and was so paranoid all the time , I kindly respected and listened to her , she was my friend and neighbor. One day she went out to catch the train, and catch the train she did , headphones prevented her from hearing the opposite train coming. Dang it. You hopefully prepped for your maker, because , you never know. R.I.P. Kelly Ann

@@Ms.LisaDawndamnnn … well I’ll try to have a good day in spite of it 😂
We live in a time of fear mongering. Its no way to live. I'm 60 and have zero interest in living through some post apocalyptic nightmare.
What about living through an emergency, such as power outage, water contamination or internet/mobile phones down. My parents lived through WE2 we always had a pantry. It’s just prudent. The U.K. is an island we rely on imported food, if there is a problem with imports well…
This was a good show, with good timing. We've had extreme catastrophes since it was aired, and it must have helped some people to be ready and safe.
Long time camper here-- ive learned bug out vehicles are worthless. It requires gas to move and we all learned how quickly shelfs clear out with toilet paper. Just imagine trying to find gas lol
I'm not even joking, I often think we have horses so we can get around. Of course we drive gas vehicles but they can certainly be more useful then recreational use need be. Plus they can see in the dark, hear and sense things people can't and we have 1 that drives
@@amybourdeau5311 IMO bicycles are the transport of choice. It's likely that roads will still be somewhat passable for bike-sized travel, and that'll be lots faster than going on foot and doesn't cost or require the same level of maintenance horses or pack animals will. Stache a few extra tires, chains, and a few patch kits and you'll be able to keep it functioning for decades at least.
older diesel vehicles run even on frying oil and dint have electronic parts. Diesel engines before 1990 most likely are even mechanical instead if using any electronic parts.

@@sc29607 you're missing the point lol anything that requires a consumable, that's not readily renewable, is pointless. Even if you're extreme and have 10,000 gallons of fuel itll eventually run out and you're back to square one when no one has remaining stock on the shelves.
I'm speaking to conflicts that require self sustainability, not a couple weeks vacation.
While the concept of a global seed vault is commendable, I have a practical concern: In the event of a catastrophic global disaster such as a nuclear war or asteroid impact, how would survivors feasibly access and transport these seeds from such a remote location? What mechanisms, if any, are in place to ensure the distribution of these vital resources in a post-apocalyptic scenario?
That's details that aren't going to be publicly acknowledged.. You just gotta write your own story on those questions!
@@MF-kr4hf"I appreciate your perspective, but I remain skeptical about the feasibility of such a plan. Given the devastating nature of a truly apocalyptic event, it seems highly optimistic to assume that there would be a functional system in place to retrieve and distribute these seeds. The road to rebuilding civilization would likely be long and arduous, potentially spanning generations. By the time humanity regains the technological and logistical capabilities necessary to access such a remote facility, there's a significant risk that knowledge of its existence or location might be lost.
That said, I sincerely hope my reservations are unfounded. The preservation of biodiversity is undoubtedly crucial for our species' long-term survival. Perhaps there are contingencies in place that address these concerns, even if they're not public knowledge. It's a complex issue that warrants careful consideration
The seeds aren't meant to sustain (us) in this lifetime. They're being stored and vaulted for the ecology of the new Earth once it reemerges from its next cataclysmic apocalyptic event. In other words it's a time capsule meant to be discovered by Earth's future civilizations and/or visitors.
@@attilakomjati3566No, you are absolutely correct. There will be no infrastructure left.

@@mickmanning2966that won’t work. Apples are hybrids. You need to take cuttings of the tree to clone it 😊
@@great-garden-watch thank you for the info. Made me go to some homework LOL. Just learned what happens when you grow a apple tree from seed. Pretty interesting I must say.

Y’all can talk about seeds. Which is great and I’m glad you brought up the idea of family planting through generations. But when Monsanto started bioengineering plant seeds, they wouldn’t let you keep the seed and replant your fields the next spring, because they said it was their freaking property. Case in point the guy out west, I can’t remember the state and the guys name, but I specifically remember he was drying with special equipment. His soybean seeds storing them until next spring to reuse. Local farmers chimed in and said let’s all do this together so he was drawing seeds they had brought to him for them to reuse. Monsanto and they’re Blackwater hired assassins stepped in and threatened him with lawsuits, and the contractors showed up at his place and other places after they got his list of customers and threaten them physically with harm. Community was devastated because of Monsanto and bio engineering seeds.
I was thinking about what you said. Few years ago I heard on PBS about how Monsanto control the agriculture by keep doing what you mention.
This show is missing so much concerning the reality of this problem. No one real farmer was interviewed, only “ experts “ that sound more like propaganda voices.
Covid-19’s was not passed from bats, it was a manufactured story, to cover up the truth: gain of function.
This show is leaving parts of the game out, why?

True! When money is no use anymore, the guy with the gun is the owner.
I know, when money is useless, what will motivate them helping you?
Hence the importance of being handy and learning how to do more than just type on a keyboard and move a mouse. Learning how to do basic maintenance, plumbing, and electrical work is essential (as is being adept with firearms) but the elitists in their urban ivory towers just rely on “hired help” to do those things. They are clueless and will be in a world of hurt during the next round of “mostly peaceful” riots as their cities are being burned.
Fear is what they capitalize on.

Covid was an eye opener. My grandson was born at the beginning of COVID. As a single mom and seeing my daughter and her family affected financially I had them move in to rent from me. So much has changed in the last 5 years. Everything is more expensive so our goal is to work together to just survive. Young people today do not realize how hard it’s getting if they have support. I am giving it my all to help and educate before I leave this world. But I feel it’s not enough. It’s up to each individual to help and prepare for any kind of disaster.
We can delay some disasters but for how long.?
I admire those who have dedicated their lives to prevent us from destroying ourselves.
