We all laughed....... well look whos laughing now.
Andrew Joy still me
Dallin Stuart still?
And they'll be laughing even less very soon.
im trying to survive this 2020 to 2021 winter
Getting ready to be the spring of 2021.
My grandmother was born in 1908 and lived through the depression. Not too many preppers would be more prepared than she was. She easily had 2 years of food, clothes, shoes, a 55 gallon drum of powdered soap, coal, firewood, tanks of kerosene, lanterns, etc. Being prepared was just normal life for her
unless she has guns, she just prepped for someone else...
@@stufoo 😜🤣🤣🤣madness gun illegal in uk india etc
@@1RajatS better have melee weapons and lots of people to help protect you
And your Grandmother did what was needed to to … GET BY … as I am sure she would say. If people would look at the bad images of the Depression that happened in America ( because images are all we have left) IT HAPPENEND ... it can happen again!
My Grandmother ate the cartilage off the chicken bones, and would reuse ice. >>>
Your Grandmother was a strong Woman stronger than any today, and you should be proud.
...."a doomsday scenario would be like a pandemic.... quarantine starts.... that's when law and order beaks down".
Prophetic words 2 years ago!
Angry Prepper is his UA-cam channel.
Even more so with these riots and protests.
August 2020 there's a starting Month
And its happening right now in america
You called it rigjt
“Annals of Obsession”; until an event happens and you would wish a prepper lived next to you. Being being prepare is not an obsession it’s a must and a reality we just refuse to acknowledge!!!!
Those who view preparedness as an "obsession" would be unlikely to fare very well in close proximity to prepared groups.
Unprepared people lacking critical skill sets would most probably be turned away.
@KillBud Sanchez
Sucks to be *them!*
It's like you were taught in the Scouts - Be prepared.
I'm reading your comment during Corona. Good luck to us
Its 2021 now who's still alive ?
Hello ? is any one out there, This is John Conner if you can hear this message - then that means that "you are the resistance "
people who do NOT rely on govt are not obsessed. they are SMART!
Wise
Governor Cuomo said himself... "The cavalry IS NOT COMING."
Remember that prepping is not learning and preparing for what you can do with your supplies... you have to learn how to do withOUT your supplies too.
I was called obsessed by my mom because I want to become a responsible gun owner and to buy more food, people don't see the agenda with this covid-19 or politics.
Get ready for the incoming black swan event…

Well here we are, 60 day's into New York state's executive order to stay in place. I just opened two of my prepper supplier's, this past weekend. I've gained a greater appreciation for my tendency to stockpile food and supplies. This has given me a deeper respect for those who've been doing this for years.
our grand parents did prepping too, it was called every day living
my grandmother's pantry had at least 2 years food.
@@robertmiller5735 My Nan in the country had a bean shed with every kind of beans you could even dream of. As a kid I was entranced. We continue her tradition, with less beans.
@@heather173 All those quart jars, of caned food. Was great, I have about 3 yrs worth.
Mojito I think soon they’ll get a blunt reminder
Obsessed?? Sure thing, I'm obsessed with staying alive.
at Mr Apple - being obsessed with stay alive is a great idea

Amen brother
I love this guy right here his family is lucky to have him in it. He’s always on point I watch his channel all the time. It’s crazy seeing him talk about a pandemic than versus now 2021.
3 things in this life are true:
Death, Taxes and Angry Prepper was right the whole time
Be ready even if nothing bad happens you still have all the tools to survive if it does
This is funny. Storing food and growing food was called every day life long ago. Now you are a PREPER if you have something put away for tough times lol.
I think its that we have no interest in the wisdom of our old timers. I have noticed lots of people who lived thru the depression store food and raised kids that do too.
@Gabby Mouse Exactly. Seeds in food that won't grow if you plant them.. engineered to be that way. They want you to starve.
Exactly. Thats how our grand parents lived everyday
The naive American mindset
All I see is people talking about storing food. No one is talking about what happens when your stored food runs out. Said anything about growing their own food and preserving it, lol!
at least they're not addicted to drugs, leave them be.
It gives people a sense of security, I have a few of the basics, bit of canned food, always keep a large case of water, etc, and it does provide that.
Whos laughing now
i am laughing now..i am the last man aive on planet earth..
@@TheNecropolis20 Im sure some days it felt like it. Keep it up man.
I watch this video months back.... and now around the world in April 2020 we living in a Pandemic i swear this survival video makes a whole lot of sense
What's the narrator failed to mention in her watching all of those disaster movies is that the protagonist may live but millions of people who didn't prepare die. That happens in every one of those movies. Katrina was a wake-up call for us all.
Even the government tells you to be prepared. How is that an obsession? Are you high?
Anybody that thinks this not Jesus has any brains need to seek a lobotomy
Jeremiah Peters Lolllll Jesus? 😂😂😂 you mean Yashua?
It's an obsession the same way that The Government also tells you to wash your hands, but excessive hand-washing is a common form of *obsessive* compulsion.
Yeah, no government has ever had an agenda so you must be right.
As all the usa drinking water is full of all types of drugs most usa pepol are high or low lol depending on the drugs in the water lots of femael hormones to dumb down the men and mind chaging drugs to goggle it the news is out its very real the only safe water to drink is distilled water sorry to tell but now you know
I spent 24 years in the us Army and they taught how to prepare for change overcome and adapt. 2 tours of Iraq and many days in the field. be prepared I have a bob bag and 2 ruck sacks full of solar lights different knives sleeping bags cooking gear change of clothes tent if needed etc. life is a challenge and to be honest I wasnt as prepared as I should have been but the virus was a wakeup call. Now I have a months food supply and bought more additional great to add to my stash for me and my family survival needs.
@angryprepper I remember watching and saying how I need to get more serous, God told me start being self sufficient start learning. Just starting my gardening . Luckily stocked up over time ❤️
Im here for Covid19 Friday the 13th 2020
Covid19 is the Cause of me becoming a Prepper. I am a Filipino prepper in a City (Metro Manila) under a lockdown starting on March 15 2020.
I live in rural Montana during winter it can become almost impossible to get out the cops take four hours to respond at times(6 in a 1000mile radius) you do the math
You live in gods country I would love to make it out there and run trap lines !!!
Watching this now, they seem like the smartest people ever.
EDIT: Now in late June, this comment aged way too fast. They are already back to being ridiculous.
Exactly, they’re prepared whilst people are panic buying and getting into fist fights over toilet paper 🧻 😂
They were smart even before this, you just didn’t realize it until now.
@@DaneLMusic Don't get me wrong, I didn't say they WERE/ARE smart, I said they "SEEM" smart. Always obsessing and preparing for the most extreme circumstances is not a very healthy way to live your life in my opinion. At the end of the day, you are more likely to die of heart disease or in a car accident, than succumb to a pandemic or end of the world scenario.
@@santishorts Jesus can come tonight or tomorrow how do you know?
@@matiioapo8011 Wut?
4:24 This aged so well
Dude. This is so weird. I'm a 45 year old black man in Chicago. And the same book, One second after, is the same book that prompted me into prepping. Keep it up, and I'll continue to tune in! Thanks
Watching this in 2020 because it is getting very relevant
One thing many people forget is preparing to run out of your supplies. Can you build a fire, can you trap food, can you garden? Can you tend to wounds? The Firefighter was the most coherent on these things, you have to prepare for the absolute worst.
@Bob man I didn't say preppers don't, I said MANY PEOPLE, those who aren't preppers who say "we have a lot of cans of beans and other food" but they don't prep for when that runs out. They can't build shelter, fire, splint a broken bone, etc. They think they're ready for anything, when really they're just ready to slow down their own end.
@Bob man Yes, many do, they are those who aren't doing more than just keeping a full pantry, but still say they're prepared. Yes, I have a good supply of food, including stuff that is considered "survival food" but unless you can bug out in a large vehicle, you'll not really be able to carry much, so you need the skills too, which is a lot of what non-preppers need to learn.
@Bob man I grew up "in the sticks" in TX, just normal for me too.
Sure, there are those who are obsessive, but I started prepping a few emergency bags & keeping a month or two with of food in accordance with FEMA's recommendations. I don't think that's unreasonable.
I actually started this last month. Best decision I made for those “what if” moments.
One learns that no matter how much stuff you have....the ultimate preparedness is all mental
carpo719 Yes that's correct. What's between the ears far exceeds material preps. That's why guys like Dave Canterbury, have a big advantage over most.
Praise the gods for another intelligent human
Quite true. Knowledge is the key to success, buuuuuuut good gear help a lot. Particularly some good clothes, a knife, a poncho tent, and few few other basic essentials regarding water, food, fire, medical, and hygiene(the most underrated thing in prepping).
I have been building up my supplies for years and try to be prepared for living off of the land if I have to. Even though I live in a rural area there are things I can do take care of myself and do encourage others to get prepared also if they are not already stocked up on supplies.
Right there with you living off the land.
Been a prepper is also a discipline, is learning to live with in your means, save money, eat healthy, get the most out every item, we are not just plain crazy.
@4:24 This guy isn't being called a nut job anymore... welcome to 2020
They called the big brother theorists crazy too in the 80’s. Conspiracy theorists always get the last laugh ❤️
@@MiaLovedByChrist except it's not funny...
We are not extreme preppers, yet - but we do keep over 3 months of food/supplies and weapons with about 2k rounds of ammo. We have tools, hunting gear and seeds to carry us past the 3-month period in a worst case scenario. We do not advertise/discuss our preparations with neighbors. This type of preparation has been beneficial through several natural disasters. While others panicked - we set comfortably, although bored waiting the event out.
I wish to hug this brother, is wonderful what he is doing for his familly
The lady talking says she lives in an apartment in NYC, so she couldn't prep but the fire fighter talking was on doomsday prepers and lives in an apartment
It all depends man. Im not sure what her situation is, but let's just say she needs to take cartin medication to stay alive, she is also an older woman. I don't think she can get out of town as fast as the young firefighter could. But again its just a thought.
Jacob Meekhof doesn’t matter , first thing to do in a pandemic is to move to countryside . Cities are the worst place to be
Exactly
She can always learn and become part of a team/mag that is be part of a Mutual aid group, A Community to where everyone has some kind of skills even if it’s just watching children of other members while they are doing different jobs . Becoming part of a community will give each person a chance to live as well hope and a feeling of being useful .Whit that no one is to old ,people tend to forget about the knowledge that a lot of older or elderly have that can be very useful in crisis.
August 2020 here! I used to think these guys were crazy. I'm not laughing anymore.
prepping isnt just fashion or "obsession", its living style. 50-100 years ago nearly all people were preppers or at least homesteaders, yet we are ridiculed by majority today.i pity the fools who think that govt will take care for people once S hit the fan. if katrina, sandy and rest of hurricanes werent big alarm enough, nothing will be.
Hurricane Harvey woke me up…I’m a prepper now
Thanks for all you do. It's nice to know there are people willing to take of themselves and if able to help others in anyone's type of SHTF situations.
Now who's ridiculous for having a deep pantry and a good community. Good luck peppers of New York city, stay safe
Angry Prepper was right!! 2020 and 2021 proved that!!!
I live in a NYC apartment so I can’t prep. And yet in the same video is a NYC firefighter who also lives in a apartment and is the most prepared man in NYC.
I liked the attitude of that boy! He´s more awake than many adults......
Who is making fun of preppers now.
John Taylor Maybe, but full of food and prepared hahahah
His comment toward the end about how antisocial everyone is becoming is true, we need to lay our cell phones and electronics down, here and there, and focus on actually connecting with our family and friends, more.
All you can do is call us fear mongers because you have not way to refute our arguments. That and we who prep do not generally live in fear. Accepting and facing a hard reality is the exact opposite of personally attacking people so as to avoid mental stress.
Admittedly, I am fearful and anxious. And I am beginning to prep.
Do you think you sound articulate?
Man I read that same book too. Yes I'd say I'm a Doomsday Prepper and proud of it. It is just using common sense these days. Disasters come in many ways now days locally and you need to be prepared because so many people are affected you need to provide for yourself and help others till aide comes if it ever does. God bless us all. Stay strong!!
"After the Apocalypse, most of the people you love are gone, your friends are gone, everything you love to eat are gone, it's like the beginning of time all over again." I enjoy that young man who tells it like it is...he just forgot to mention - run to Jesus and live forever in eternity.
i wonder if the people leaving comments that it is a waste of time and money to be self sufficient in case of an emergency are the same folks who also grouse about people who can't/won't take care of themselves right now?
We take care of ourselves and our neighbors each a part of the whole each reaching out to give and receive
grouse? grouch maybe?
4:26 this guy read the future. Omg
Doomsday, schoomsday. It's good to be preppared and learn to fend for yourself and the people you love. Living in fear is no way to live though.
preparing for contingencies does not equal fear. actually the reverse is true- being ready for anything and learning the skills it would take to survive is probably a power-full thing. i mean, you learn about the basics of your car so you can deal with contingencies, not because you are living in fear that your car will break down. and the reverse IS true: people that live in fear that their car will break down would almost always be people who know nothing about cars. and in any life skill, i think the more you learn, the more empowered and LESS fearful you become. considering the (imho ) lame hobbies many people have, i think this one is pretty badazz.
Schoomsday is coming.
tecums3h so we prep so there is no fear.
@Patriotbadass Yeah I didn't really mean my comment as a prophecy. I was just making fun of his comment. But know that I see it like this...it's chilling. I didn't mean it. I take it back.
Read Isaish 2:19
There is a bigger storm ahead. Not natural disasters. An apocalypse. Revelation 19:11-21.
Go to www.jw.org and search "Armageddon", "The Great Tribulation", "God's Kingdom", "What God's Kingdom will accomplished" "What does God require of us" "How can you be saved"
Read also 1 Thessalonians 5:2,3.
I watch this video a few times and must say we all have to be prepare for the worst that could happen and I just wanna say thank you sir this video is very helpful thanks
Came to this after seeing all the things going on in Texas.
I live in California and I'm in foster care (aging out housing) so there isn't much I can do but while I still have a apartment I think its best for me to at least have a month of food supply.
This is INFORMATION PERIODT!!! IDC what anyone has too say, PEOPLE LIVE DIFFERENT scenarios, in LIFE👍💯
I bet that woman changed her mind with what’s happening in New York now
Who else is here for coronavirus?

When he started talking about the pandemic😳
@@coleyoung525 for real though... that's how this thing is happening.. I'm pretty sure this dude knows what he's talking about
@@Mo-tn7lv yea because that's not creepy at all 🙄
The most important thing one can do is learn. Knowledge will be the most powerful thing you can possess during a disaster. Have items to survive short term, but the knowledge to last long term.
Learn to purify water,
Learn to build - some form of tool skills
Learn first aid
Learn to fish, hunt, grow crops
Learn learn learn..... Don't depend on others for your survival.
Live for today, but prepare for tomorrow.
This seems very applicable right now.
Wow! Smartest ppl alive!
At its core many people misunderstand, preparedness is not "living in fear" instead the woman who finds it rational to prepare but doesn't because if something happens she has no hope is much more controlled by fear. It is literally fatalism. If your preparing, you think your preparations will help, if you think you can win through the end of the world its inherently a optimistic view of the world. This guy is going to live and the people he loves will live because they know how to hang a tarp, that friends is hope.
I'm here because of covid-19 pandemic.
@John Taylor Choak her
When I was young, my family lived in a small village that had frequent power outages due to hurricanes or blizzards, so we always had a stockpile of food and emetgency supplies on hand...and a natural gas stove so that we could cook...and heat the kitchen in winter.
Although the energy grid is more reliable today, I still have a several-month supply of food and emergency supplies, rain barrels to catch water...and a trusty gas stove. If a big storm hits, I can get by...but if a war or climate collapse happens, I'd just as soon die quickly.
Watching this now March 23 2020, and he talked about a Pandemic
Jason is very smart & intelligent.
The prepper lad was right 4 years ago, he was talking about pandemics and quarantine
I also just finished the book series, and feel a need to step up my PREPS.
The govt will take care of you , ask an Indian.
im a Cherokee and no they want take care of anyone but themselfs
The government will hold you in a fema camp, which will probably be over crouded, and they wont let you leave, people get sick, food rations weaken, people get mad, everyone dies
Prepper Daze I agree you can trust the government😋 They'll bring enough food to stuff 3 people's bellys, and they'll be there lickty split. About 2 weeks later. Only half the neighborhood will be dead, or wish they were by then. Forgive my sarcasm, I can't help it with so many dummies thinking I'll just bother my neighbor about 78 times.

As a fellow New Yorker the first thing we have to do is get out of the city. Have a bug out place in the mountains.
It would be preferable if you made some friends in the mountains first some of those people will be on lookout for maurauders
Time is now! We will be survive!
There sure a lot of trolls here. Amazing how many people have a negative view of preppers. So many people don't want to believe that a SHTF event cant happen to them. That somehow they would be untouched by a world changing event and they have no need to have even the basic items to make it through even the first 72 hours.
Well for those who have been preparing and training - they will be OK in the coming times ahead. We are heading into hard times now and for the next 150 years. As the Grand Solar Minimum takes hold within the next year food will be the biggest challenge for millions of people. As crops fail around the globe and people begin to wake up to the facts that something is wrong it will be too late to prepare. You can research this yourself to learn more about it but in the end the facts are that it's coming and there is no way to stop it. All we can do is prepare for it and do the best we can to survive during these coming times. Over all man will survive. After all we survived the last ice age. But billions will not survive the next 50 years and millions will die in the next 10.
Government cant help everyone and maybe even no one. You'll be on your own. The ones who have prepared wont be too egger to help those who didn't. The world collapse is coming - wars will brake out over resources and a lot of people wont make it.
lot of trolls? have you been reading the other comments or assuming what they say?
@@hornetobiker No, I read them. A lot of good and so so comments but still a number of nay sayers.
Not if but when.
Very good video"
Thank you for sharing.....
I get it, and I've been preparing for a lot of years and still going. I just need a prepping friend.
Coronavirus is out and everyone’s going crazy
😂😂 u chilling knowing you don’t need to go out there to the crazy stores
thank you
It’s funny how the lady says she lives in a New York apartment. No way she could really prepare. If anything, she is one that needs to prepare. Like food locks for her door, ammo, a way to prepare food. She will not survive. She is one that will be crying for help.
Firearms have been heavily regulated in NYC for the better part of a century (almost impossible to get a permitto own.) She won't need ammo if she can't get a firearm.
This is really interesting! props to all the preppers
2018: Obsession
2020: New Normal
and 2021: ?
Never too late to prep.
Great video!
Those who choose not to prepare for natural disasters and economic depressions are choosing to be the victims of circumstance. And that is not a good place to be.
Shared on Facebook.
I like how she says she can't prep because she's in new York, then suddenly goes to "it's probably futile anyway" lol
That's called denial
How true is this now
Excellent Video😊
Jason AKa The Angry Prepper, here on UA-cam is a awesome guy
I choose to spend my time making my community, my country, and my global village a better prepared so I won't have to "prep." Pray and be optimistic.
watching this in 2021 like whose crazy now
Great video,
I have been a prepper for a few years. It is a part of my life but not all of my life.
When I hear young kids talking about prepping it makes me cry.
I was 5 years old boy when everything fall apart in my country, government lost the control by rebel groups . Everything stopped; no electricity, no water supply, food shortage and all public services were lost.
I stayed that situation for almost 13 years , I haven’t seen electricity since my last year of secondary school . I adapted that live till I thought its the normal live for rest of the world .
When i saw these people who are preparing them selves for what they called doomsday, I remembered who it looked like mine .
I want say to them , you are not doing enough guys , you are wasting your time . Apocalypse never looked like that , its emergency situation you can’t prepare for yourself what you don’t know how it look like .
JESUS IS the answer for Evriting
I'm in UK .can anyone tell me how to meet other prepers .everyone thinks I'm crazy thay can't see what is going on
@Charles Mcgonigle that phrase came about in war. And in some ways you're correct, you don't want to tell people you know won't do anything to support themselves when the built supports are gone. But finding a group of like-minded individuals could be one of the best preps you make. Very few survive alone for long, humans aren't built for it and we don't like it. We need cooperation.
Iily May, there are UK based preppers with UA-cam channels, maybe reach out to them commenting on their videos? I believe there are also events that are run where preppers meet up.
@@MrFirepoi thanks for info
Reach out and I'll get back to you. I not very smart on computer. I can hunt and trap anything, please be nice thinking of leaving US
join a shooting club and look for emergency preparadness conventions in the UK. At the end of the day no one is supposed to know what you have. Look up youtube channels like Bear Independent or Viking Preparadness for tutorials.
Wise people
you got it kiddo!! truth
I read that book it does make you think.
Those who don't learn history are doomed to repeat it.
I live in the city in a 2 story condominium with 1 of my 3 daughters and her 1 small daughter... how do we begin to prepare? Thank you for the info 🙏🏿💪🏿✌🏿💯
I should have been started prepping I could be comfortable
Love @Theangryprepper!
