“Does Walmart know something we don’t??! 😰😱😱”
Uh…yeah… we’re in peak camping season so there’s that…
Yeah, they know there are tens of thousands of gullible idiots out there who'll buy out their whole assortment of spam to prepare for the apocalypse that never happens.
Camo print backpacks are the only thing that separates preppers from compulsive hoarders
As a generational compulsive hoarder this is so true. We've had plenty of "supplies" but never a camo backpack (that I know of). We've had hiker backpacks but we don't do camo it's boring
Hey now at least I know what I’m doing is irrational and bad for me these people seem to think it’ll improve their lives!
Preppers can be hoarders, I've seen enough videos about it.
The silver lining here is that you and your family have taste
True preppers dont brag about it. The good ones are indistinguishable from your neighbor (ie no cammo packs)
Prepper houses sound like real life loot caches. I guess I'll be the "audio logs" guy when the world falls apart.
You record the audio logs, I'll make a funny pose so I can be the Environmental Storytelling Skeleton
I gotta die with a loaded pistol so the protagonist can pick it up and fight the first zombie
i’ll be the one who builds the fort before getting raided so the the protagonist can later restore it while only vaguely explaining how i sourced the clean drinking water, electricity, all the other amenities, and the inexplicable crafting bench that can turn a rag and two sticks into a working vehicle
I'ma be a bag lady. I'm a crafter so I have SO MANY different types of glue, buckets of yarn, and plethora of needles and wires.
Lolol I'd start crocheting booby traps.
@@KuroganekisakiI was just going to say that 🤪
The woman Brett mocks for building a community with the people around her has better chances in extreme situations like power outages or extreme weather events than the Gunhoarders and unsocial tacti-tech bros with their 500 cans of spam.
Yeah exactly. People naturally band together in disaster sceneries too, so having a sense of community, and educating each other for emergencies is way more effective.
In natural disasters, we don't immediately turn to crime. I've watched enough videos about how communities come together during tornadoes to know. The fact that she just passes over the most important part of why leftists are goid actually.
@@Hobbyhoarderguy one of the reasons we were such a successful species is because we're highly social and generally value one another (depends on what society teaches ofc). We've seen so many documented cases of humans pre agriculture healing bones, living to a very old age etc. and even making people with tumours living for quite some time because they were cared for so well.
For some reason conservatives believe in the "survival of the fittest" but that's literally never been how it's worked biologically for the most part because evolution isn't that straight forward at all. Like ASOIAF says, the lone wolf loses their lives but the pack survives. That is literally why humans are such a success story. (Depending how you look at it ofc hahaha).
Y t does like the d word ofc.
Pretty much. The survivalist-type with his armory of guns and worthless prepper-marketed products is sitting their either fantasizing about or fearing a scenario where people turn into feral animals trying to kill another…well, I kinda think that maybe THEY would be a real danger and a liability in a real crisis.
Absolutely. There are way more people to sneak out all that Spam.
There's something sad but funny about a person getting solar power panels to prepare for an event where the sun temporarily gets blocked out.
They had a battery bank. Do you think people with solar panels have no electricity at night?
@@msjkrameydepends on how long the sun is out for. If it’s over like a day, do you think those batteries can supply a whole house for a whole day? What about three days? I’m skeptical.
@resintom852 the eclipse lasts for minutes. It's fine. And it depends on more than just that. It's the angle, it's the size of the panels, the type of panels, how many you have, how many batteries you have, what appliances you're running in youe home, how hard the climate control has to work. You could easily have enough power for days if you had the money for a good system or if you ration your electricity for only the essentials in an emergency
this comment is about as braindead as they are......
@@resintom852 There's a reason you don't see suburbs in Appalachia dotted with solar panels
I grew up as a Mormon and Mormons have a tendency to be crazy preppers, the church explicitly teaches that you need to have a year worth of food in your house. My wife's dad has leaned into this so hard that she never had a bed growing up, she slept on a mattress laid on top of boxes of dried food. Her parents are in half a million dollars of debt and will never be able to retire but somehow are more prepared for a made up scenario that has never happened in the history of the world than they are for the life they're actually living
My best friend is an ex-mormon and still a prepper. I find this mentality FASCINATING.
He's got a ton of guns and a ton of food saved. He is really fastidious about it and changes out his stock and eats what's going bad.
If the world ever gets bad I'ma try to make it up to him just because numbers and I love him and his wife to pieces.
Tbh I would rather just die out then live in an apocalypse, It sounds awful to live through.
@@daniel-darling to each their own.
I spent my late teens and early 20s in very sketchy situations so I think I'd be alright for a couple of months at least... Ya know... Until all of the nuclear powerplants melt down and ruin the entire planet.
Same with Jehova witnesses
@@Shrimp-ov8jz really? But I thought their god was going to save them? (Not being snarky, sincerely curious since their whole thing is that everyone that's not a good JW will be left behind once the apocalypse hits).
"I call this the safe room". One solitary office chair. Walls of Dasani
& a table piled with expired OTC meds
It’s safe because even a nuclear blast doesn’t want to be anywhere near Dasani water
Also, glass window.
This is just another face of American consumerism. If they want to prepare for an emergency and do something that will help and provide joy even outside of that, why don't they start building good relationships with their neighbours right now and learn about gardening?
Not just consumerism, individualism. That's what always got me about these types - always worried about themselves and not their communities. Sure, they create communities with likeminded people but not the people directly around them; those they view as threats.
@@rogue-taxidermy_griffin when SHTF their communities fall apart lololol.
@@CountryMouseCityCrimesSpeak for yourself, not everyone is as depraved and devoid of empathy like you.
Community is too close to the bad word.
REAL doomsday preppers CAN THEIR OWN FOOD. You gotta go grandma style and have your own canned goods. Start an underground garden. Go all out. Don’t be stupid!
There really should a social distinction made between the preppers who just buy overpriced gear and cross their fingers versus these people who at least put effort into it.
oh, im an idiot- i read "can" like you'd use it in "you can do this" and it took me a few rereads to realize what went wrong lmao

reddit preppers vs tiktok preppers
Canning water is actually a fantastic way to prep for real emergencies like storms and lead pipes. It's sterilized so it can be used for drinking, cooking, and cleaning and it lasts at least a year. You don't need anything fancy, just a deep enough pot to boil jars and some canning jars (always use new lids for a solid, clean seal).
only if it’s ACTUALLY canned properly though, these people are literally putting tap water in a jar, screwing the lid on, and putting it on the shelf lol
@@zbcrazy lol yeah
I was raised by a doomsday prepper, so i still naturally like to keep a few 'preps' for like a natural emergency...but dad? Oh Dad is insane. Bug out location, barrels of ammo, bunker somewhere. He likes to reach out to me to talk about preps and I've started telling him I'm prepping for the zombie apocalypse to annoy him enough to stop.
He has barrels full of ammo and a bunker in the woods but he finds a “zombie apocalypse” to be too far fetched?! Bruh.
Out of curiosity what apocalypse scenario does he think will be most likely? Also why on earth does he need “barrels full of ammo”
They’re just advertising which house to raid if there was a doomsday
I have a garden with a rain collector and a solar powered pump for irrigation. It was a cool project
@@jvang2293 that is very cool
@@jvang2293 See, that is kind of useful on its own. Unlike a portable electronic safe with cash.
Loot drop.
@@jvang2293 that sounds awesome!
if you want to be a "prepper" you have to know how to cycle a stockpile. we have a 3 month stock from which we eat and replenish. that's what i saw from my parents (war torn country) and you absolutely do have to share with your neighbors in emergency situations. the only thing that allowed humans to come this far is civilization, not solitude. you have to have people around you and community, it's not just food and water you need.
The thing is that these people think that big communities will starve out immediately because there won't be enough resources- news flash, people will scavenge homes, and suddenly your 'prepper' house becomes a loot cache for your local community-- not to say it would immediately come to violence, but the needs of the many, lmao
As someone who survived their house flooding in a cat 4 hurricane, i will say that my neighbors and community were the most crucial part of my families survival. My neighbors came to rescue us and opened their house to us while we recovered. Community is of the utmost importance in disasters like this. Not spam, not solar panels, not even bottled water. My community was there for us and for that i am forever grateful
CONSUUUUUUME PRODUCTS
there's a right way to prep, and that's usually just how rural people worldwide live normally!
Rural and we have a community of gardeners who get together for plant swaps but more to my interest, share extra produce and pickling/jamming tips. My loquats for your okra, hell yeah bhindi masala
Cons be like: I have invested thousands in this bunker so when it all goes to shit, I'll be ready.
COVID happens: Nah. Fake news.
There wasn't much covid denial on r/preppers. I got most of my public health updates from there, weeks before it'd be on mainstream news.
@@nari5161 has the prepper community changed since covid? With the increase of radicalization after the pandemic has the group shifted a lot?

Really? Huh that's fascinating @nari5161.
People don't realize emps have a max size of a few square miles of range. If we were attacked with emps they would just hit 12 key power grid points and shut down all power. YOU PERSONALLY will never be hit with an emp.
I guess there's always the possibility of a solar storm or the poles inverting again
No you don't understand, Becky who lives in the suburbs of Dallas is an INCREDIBLY high value target and her personal mobile phone is at very high risk of being targeted by an emp. Those minions memes are powerful, can't have them being spread around.
Dude, you don’t realize that the emp burst is going to occur along with the nuclear explosion. So if you live in a city, and the majority of the population does, you’re going to be targeted with a nuke
Not to be the 'Well actually' guy but high altitude nuke detonations could cover a large area so could affect 'collaterals' quite easily.
@@LordNinja109 Yeah the starfish prime test effected Hawaii which was 898 miles away from the test area.
A tinfoil wrapped sandwich I take to work every day is just as protected from EMP as these electronics in their 50+ dollar tiny bag
A shed wrapped in chicken wire would make a better EMP shield that that.
Also, I don't think it works if it's touching the shield
@tylerboothman4496 not that emp is really gonna matter anyway considering the enemy would just target the power stations anyway so unless you live near them you don't have to worry about shielding. Point is its very easy to make one yourself if you're worried about a solar flare or something
I grew up in a doomsday prepper family and let me just say, it messed me the fuck up.
I don’t think it’s normal for a 5 year old to worry about the next president and survival when the world collapses.
I don’t think it’s ok to feed a child those messages to the point where they don’t think they’re going to survive until adulthood.
I have always had food storage, 72h kits, bug out vehicles, plans to live in church owned mountains, and lots of guns for when shit eventually was supposed to hit the fan.
I remember when hostess filed for bankruptcy and people panic bought the “last Twinkies” and thinking “this is it. We are running out of food and people are going to fight over the last of it and we’re all going to die.” I was no older than 6.
I also remember when Obama got elected and my family was VERY against him. Little me was so worried and brainwashed that this man would kill us all that when he actually won the election, I sobbed for HOURS. I was terrified!
All these are things I’m unpacking in therapy, but do any of them sound like something a child should ever worry about?? I feel like I would be so much better off now if I was never brainwashed into believing the world would end in my childhood.
It was so bad that I became suicidal as a teen. Why keep living if it’s all going to end in blood and suffering soon anyways?
Hi!! Ex-mormon here!! I grew up being taught that you NEED at least a full years worth of food storage in your house at all times. As a kid, we had dehydrated apple slices, at least 15 pounds worth of pasta, and an entire cold storage filled wall to wall with metal tins of preserved food. We had fire ladders in every upstairs room with a window (but never learned how to use or assemble them.) Mormons are taught to always have food storage in order to be prepared for anything. Nothin' wrong with a little preparation or a weeks worth of extra food, but I remember the sheer paranoia and terror I felt every time I realized we didn't have an entire year's supply of laundry detergent or dehydrated milk or toilet paper rotting away in our cold storage. Preppers - at least the ones I grew up with - take things to the fullest extreme. And a lot of their kids suffer from anxiety and panic disorders due to living our whole lives thinking we aren't prepared enough (despite the fact that we had an entire walk-in closets worth of pinto beans downstairs.) Being prepared is good and can bring peace of mind, but it becomes a very slippery slope when a few extra boxes of mac-n-cheese turn into a full-blown panic attack about not having 80 pounds of uncooked rice preserved in your basement. Most of the prepper mentality is just paranoia, and that gets passed down to their kids, and it SUCKS.
So if there's EMP, you're phone will be useless even if it survives lol. Sure maybe you can play video games for a while, and take photos, but as a phone, it's useless.
So nothing will change for me at least 😂
There are peer to peer radio network apps that allow people to communicate without internet or phone towers. Only issue is that you need multiple nodes to keep the network running, which means that you need to have a like minded community of people who have these apps
real preppers print their facebook feed and bind it
I'm guessing they are assuming that the EMP and such wouldn't affect the satellites in orbit? so they're relying on the signals from them? But if the EMP shuts down the computers on earth that control the satellites, wouldn't the satellites be useless as well?
Seriously, get a pocket radio. Cellular networks are dogshit in an emergancy.
Hi! I don’t think I’ve ever commented before, but I’ve watched pretty much every Peethan video I can find (including all the Twitch vods haha) but this is one of the channels that saved me from becoming a conspiracy theorist!! I was falling really deep into a conspiracist rabbit hole, enough that I was getting paranoid that people were watching me because it fed into my anxiety disorder, but watching these sort of videos that are packaged in a funny way but talk about good topics helped drag me out of that place. Thanks, Peeman!
Peeman is good like that. As someone who was raised conservative as a child till I was 20, his perspective and more rude comments feel more real to me than other UA-camrs
watch ethans video about EDP...
@@chlochlo_the_T_BAG that video was based as hell.
glad to hear you're doing better! anxiety and paranoia is tough to deal with and can really negatively impact your life. I hope things keep getting better for you
@@johntodd6413me too dawg! i got into ethans vids in hs, so i was a bit younger, but my family is intensely conservative and christian and i found one of ethans videos funny, informative, and genuine, in a way, if that makes sense. ive been watching him for years bc of the way they make them and how they talk, his videos are fun and i feel like im watching something my friend sent me, in a good way
Dry egg farts in the bunker would eat the lead paint away. If there was going to be a nuke coming maybe learn a skill that will be helpful like candle making or repairing. To me, people like these are just hoarders.
You can do both
Or at least goes diy books
What are you using for candles after a nuke drops?
@@ludo_narr A simple source of light, batteries are great but will not last forever.
I can guarantee you that these guys all live in the Suburbs because doomsday prepping sounds a lot like classic Suburbanite paranoia
Feel like this can be tracked back to the cold war tbh
Further proof that the suburbs must be abolished. AFUERA!!!!
It’s so funny because I’ve been in real prepping communities & OPSEC is a big deal to them. You NEVER get on the open internet & blast what you have, where you’re storing it, how much of it you have available, etc. Because that just puts a huge target on your back.

"So here's how my security system works..."
Thanks for inadvertently telling us all it's flaws.
I love the Christian right denouncing the idea of charity and loving thy neighbor.
To be entirely fair charity is a ideal reserved for when you have more then enough for yourself and these people are planning for the sort of emergencies when most people won't have that.
@@marcusdaloia2974 not a christian, but according to the bible,, you are supposed to give freely even if you don't have much at all
Matthew 5:42 says to give freely everything
Luke 12:33 and Luke 18:22 says to sell your belongings if you dont have money so that you can give to the poor
Isaiah 58:7 says to divide your own bread with the hungry and to cover the naked with your own cloth.
Basically, Charity is not "reserved for when you have more than enough for yourself." it is for everyone who has anything.
Which, btw, these doomsday preppers are literally preparing to have excess for comfort. If they're not willing to share that, they're more likely to lose their community and mutual aid will not be offered to them.
Bc that's the purpose of Christian charity, or, it once was. The idea was that if everyone is willing to help one another, then no one will be suffering as bad as if only the ultra rich were giving charity. Everyone would be scratching each other's backs, mutual aid.
@@catbox1677yeah, like on God I think the ONLY messaging worth taking from that book IS about how everyone within a community should care for eachother and that wealth/resource hoarding is infact morally bad.
That and "Love thy neighbor" is actually a really good quote about the nature of love.
It's not about romance, sex, familial ties, or even being friends like that.
It's about making sure you have a beneficial impact on your surrounding environment, specifically the community you live in.
How you should care for and respect about those around you REGARDLESS of how intimate your relationship to them is.
Make your local social scene positive and get out there to connect with the people around you occasionally.
*Don't be anti-social, **_be pro-social._*
Or at least just asocial.
@@marcusdaloia2974 "give all your money and possessions to the poor" sounds familiar?
LMAO
Always love the gold/silver stockpilers... Like, that shit is gonna be WORTHLESS, if humanity does survive the apocalypse no one's gonna wanna trade shiny metal. If you show someone that dinky little piece of gold they won't even bother looting your corpse.
I made a very similar comment, I always find it really weird that people seem to think if the world went to shit we'd be trading gold (or anything for that matter). Surely if people really needed to use currency they would just use old currency
But capitalism must go on
Let me preface this by saying I don't have gold or silver but gold & silver have been a trading commodity for millenniums. There's no reason to think that they wouldn't still be useful for trading in certain scenarios. Certainly in an economic collapse it has proven useful. End of world / apocalyptic scenario would definitely be less useful. It's also a good investment even if nothing like they are worried about happens.
@@thecardboardsword As far as using old currency. Currency is only as valuable as the country that issues said currency.
@@timbuckjr9081 Nah, currency is only as valuable as the people around you think it is. If worth was based merely on the issuing country, then coin collectors would be able to get currency from long-defunct countries at bargain-basement prices.
It's kinda funny hearing the guy with the gold reserve say "with this you can move to a country where society still functions and trade the gold for currency"
First no country uses the golden standard (exchange gold for cash) anymore and second, if the USA crash, it'll bring down the whole world economy touching pretty much every country on the planet so not even th3 small shops that DO that type of exchange will work
And about community preppers, they're probably doin th3 smartest thing. History shows that in time of crisis, the population gets together even more than before
This happend when the Germans bombed the uk in ww2 and vice-versa
Community prep is the right way of doing things. Build local groups and organise. The goldbug loonies are just buying into a very very old scam.
I'm miserable with internet, access to all the food I could need or want, air conditioning and heat, running water, etc.
I am not fighting over this shit if it all goes up in flames.
Maybe you need to put yourself in a more challenging environment once in a while. It's good for you to get out of your comfort zone every once in a while
I kind of love the new attitude "bold of you to assume I would want to survive in this scenario" the young people have, it makes horror movies way less stressful
@@msjkrameyyeah. There's a quote "You don’t want to die, you just want your life to change and you feel you don’t have the power to change it"
@@forthelowpriceof4.99 I love that! That really sums up how I've felt before
@@forthelowpriceof4.99 That sounds relatable.
There was at one point a show about rating preppers on the history channel or natgeo, iirc. They had the hoarder types like on the video and an old guy who built an underground bunker through an interconnected network of old schoolbuses. And those types usually got bad scores because they weren't really planning for total societal collapse but more for like, waiting out a crisis.
And I remember that the couple that managed to get like, the highest score was a couple that did a lot of community outreach and stuff. They did self defense classes for the community and installed solar pannels for their neighbors and had a garden and a loom and the like. And while even that is good, generally. At that point you're not even prepping you're just living in a commune.
I mean if shit goes down I think communes would survive the longest, but maybe not survive entirely
living in a well made commune basically comes with the side effect of prepping. having a community capable of sustaining itself with very little, if any, outside support is a good way to up your odds if shit goes south. very cool. also means that the people who would survive would have a fantastic means of surviving but still have to worry about starving bunker brained morons attacking them with the the military power of a small city because the only thing they could think of for keeping safe before the collapse was buying walls of spam and bullets
So its been proven over and over... In disastera people come together to help each other, while leaders and rich people panic about the people panicing and send in the marines to destroy all mutual aid that is happening in the disasters.
Something like this has happened in every disaster you can think of.
I'm willing to believe that but only if you can provide a citation. Even a vague citation I'd be willing to put some effort into tracking down the specifics of.

I'm not saying the jar lady had the right idea but compared to the guys with like a hundred plastic water bottles, she's doing alright lol
Yeah, as someone who always has a water bottle at work, I strongly recommend against plastic.
These people are just collectors, it's pretty much a hobby, but instead of collecting stamps or, idk, shot glasses, they collect this prepping stuff...

The uhh
The cell tower infrastructure isnt surviving nuclear EMP bad enough to knock out your cell
But at least I'll keep my high score in candy crush!!
I have family members who do this and it's obvious that people do this because of paranoia from constantly viewing the news. It has to be some sort of expensive wasteful copping mechanism for not understanding what the future will hold for people even though they are just being extremely unhealthy with how they worry about "the end times"
But most people who do this that I spotted are conspiracy theorists, overly religious people, retired military people who had to ration, and old conservatives being tricked by false media panic (2012 scare, millennium scare, asteroid scares, etc) to stock up on survival kits and food to manipulate them into supporting the people who profit off of manufactured panic.
Seeing these videos are just so sad.
"I'm a prepper. I have disgusting food, weapons and not even a single band aid"
Edit: I also wonder, if they ever thought of testing their EMP bags. Just put your phone in it and put the bag into the microwave. The phone should be absolutely fine afterwards.
no mentally well adjusted person is filling their home with this nonsense.
Yep it seems like some of these ppl are going to end up as hoarders.
@@rosiejl2798 they kinda already are
Yeah. If I recall people in the 30s got the prepper mentality because they experienced the great depression. They actually had a reason to save up and hoard things. The doomsday preppers of today are more so cosplaying and feeling giddy about the end of society so they don't have to go back to a job they hate.
like ethan said its good to be prepared for natural disasters esp when you live in areas highly impacted by them. the only other non paranoid reason to be stockpiling like this is if you live on a homestead far from urban areas, or if you are like REALLY enthusiastic about camping but even then its not as extreme
No need to prep, if thee's no food you can always eat Uncle Bosie.
Good prepping: solar panels, stock up on food, get into diy and build community
Bad prepping: this
At 19:25 I love how the pump is weirdly shaped into a 4 because the AI script literally said "Number 4 a sandpoint well" and it doesn't know it's narrating a list.
I keep a "bug-out" bag with some essentials, about 2 weeks of food in the house and an extra case of bottled water in a closet at all times.
It can be helpful to be prepared (see start of covid pandemic) but these guys are just paranoid.
My neighbors and friends are significantly more important than any of the junk these morons buy.
That's good prepping. Don't forget to build community and id recommend buying solar panels for your roof and some diy books and such
i just always remember this dude at the top of my road who was a prepper... he died at an old age, never using any of it... and the estate sale lasted a week...
To be fair though it doesn't seem like his money was wasted there; that's sort of the ideal when it comes to "just in case" investments.
So many people buy things like "seed banks" (overpriced ordinary seeds they could get elsewhere and store better for cheaper) assuming that they can then just wander out into the woods and play IRL Stardew Valley (except where they shoot all the other people😅).
The truth is that a skilled gardener requires years or massive inputs in the first year (labor AND supplies) to create an abundant garden. And thats ppl who know what they are doing, they have actually practiced the skills involved.
You can't just drop seeds or flick through a couple foraging manuals and expect to survive.
However, practicing these skills is literally a way to touch grass in the now, and can be used to connect with community, both now and if SHTF. Its good to have useful skills, those are always with you and can be shared with others to bond a group together.
That libertarian lady will not survive long term in a shtf scenario. Do to here individualism attitude. Strong community is key to long-term survival. A lone wolf will run out of supplies and will start looting and stealing from other people. Wich will lead them to be put down like a rabid dog.
I forgot her having the gall to call the other woman naive. Pure example of no self awareness.
Tell me that you've played too much Fallout, without telling me you've played too much Fallout.
These people are just apocalypse roleplayers. Chris James did a great series of videos where he watched a few episodes of the show Doomsday Preppers. It really shows how crazy these people are.
Agree, Before COVID came I had this huge obsession with apocolypes and doomsday scenarios like these guys until one actually came and traumatized for me. These people aren't actually prepairing for the future they just want the fantasy of the apocalypse/future because they don't enjoy their current life/society/economy and want a form of escapism.
Man, I love Chris's content.
For all the shit I give Fallout 4, it deserves credit for being on some level about building a community and cooperation with other survivors.
Pity that has nothing to do with tge story.
i never understand why preppers get tiny water bottles, it's more expensive and less efficient than just getting big coolers of like 5-10 gallons.
right? it's cause that's what walmart has, i guess.
@@goldensloth7 walmart has large water coolers tho lol
The water system has collapsed.
Ai solution: have you considered building a water system from scratch?
Being fair though you _can_ build a multi-stage water-filter pretty easily if you know how to; you've just got to fill the bottom with charcoal, then sand, and then multiple layers up with increasingly coarse materials.
this is what happens when you combine isolation with a constant feed of fearmongering.
Please help though, my mom has this mindset. A few years ago there was going to be a long term widespread power outage (which kept on being deferred to the next year according to her); during winter periods, always concerned about a major disaster happening and do we have everything we need as if we're getting snowed in for weeks; consistently saying a famine is coming; lately she's been saying she's been having dreams about war and bombings and is heavily insinuating where we live is going to be bombed soon and I need to be prepared for that reality.
I literally cannot put my own food in the cabinets as appropriate because they're full of her bulk apocalypse food hoards (she says the current prices are proof that everything she's said is correct, including stuff like olive oil prices increasing).
Being a prepper seems like a great idea until you realize you have to survive whatever apocalyptic scenario is happening and THEN continue on with life as normal. It’s not going to be like the walking dead, it’ll be like pioneer living (but with more “incursions” from the “locals”).
A lot of the things they advise like the easy prep foods and walkie-talkies and easy access to water are the things you should have. On the 6th of February last year there was a huge earthquake in Turkey and the centre of it was my city. We were so scared to go up to our apartments because there were aftershocks nearly as powerful. We still sometimes have little ones and nearly everyone is anticapaiting an Istanbul earthquake and no one is prepearing for any of it.
The EMP protection is hilarious. A nuclear super weapon defeated by foil and microwaves lmao
I can't lie, I have a nuclear war emergency plan, but I probably ain't making it past the first week.
if nuclear war happens im dying on the first day, its not worth it trying to survive
We have plans to deal with a societal breakdown, we have food and stuff. But a nuclear bomb? Well, there's technically a bunker nearby, I guess (cave)
Fun Fact: Nuclear weaponry of todays age no longer leaves radioactive fallout to such a degree it used to! So, really, it's just surviving the initial and any subsequent bombings, and carry a Geiger Counter to avoid any possible radioactive debris on your hunting/gathering!~
Is this a joke? Still plenty of radiation in today's nukes, more than enough to make the planet unliveable. @@EverArtz

Intersting observation, during the pandemic lockdowns, when TP and water was hard to find, every store in my area had dasani water bottles but no one bought them.
I wouldn't go as far as to say that you should fill every empty jar in your house with water, but it is good to keep 5 or 6 gallons of drinkable water ready for emergencies. It's not enough for a "doomsday scenario," but it is enough for a natural disaster or if a water main goes out or your pipes freeze. Also, if you have the room, you will want to store a larger container of water to fill your toilets basin if you want to be able to flush but your water is going to be out for an extended period.
they're just making tacticool restock content
Wouldn't appropriate doomsday prepping be planting a garden or learning skills like first aid?
A garden takes month at least to yield anything. Most preparedness is for natural disasters, so you want enough water to drink, cook, bathe, and clean for each person for at least 3 days. And you want non-perishable food that doesn't need to be heated to be eaten. You also need to have any medicine that your family needs to stay alive. Portable chargers are nice so you can keep your phone on for emergency alerts. A basic first aid kit. Just normal stuff like that
@msjkramey that's fair for emergencies like natural disasters but most of these prepers are preparing for things much worse. But never seem to want to learn skills that matter and will last in an apocalypse or if the government collapses.
@sylphlens4511 there are all kinds of preppers. Everyone should be one to some degree. People just love to cherrypick and laugh at the LARP preppers instead of learning about the basics that you should have in your home
@msjkramey I live on the US east coast. Everyone here prepares for a potentially hurricane. Those aren't "preppers". We're talking about two different things.
@sylphlens4511 I also live on the east coast. I also grew up with the joys of hurricane season. We used to hunker down at my grandmother's house where she had everything that we needed in case we lost power, which we often did, once for an entire week. That was absolutely prepping, and it was very helpful. We were worried about a possible emergency and we.... PREPPED for it!
Brett says that the leftist prepper is bad because she's gonna "go out of her house with food in her arms, singing kumbaya" implying that she'll get shot or otherwise harmed... I want to ask anyone who takes that seriously to ask whether it would be the leftists or right wingers who would harm her?
Nah this bread tuber would go feral and his urge to not defend edps would have disappeared. He would get to her first.
Also like why would they kill her if she’s giving it all away???

I lived in Provo, UT for a few years (BYU is one of the cheapest colleges for the major I was pursuing. Got kicked out before I graduated for being a lesbian tho so...) A lot of the people in Utah are extreme peppers and the brain rot that happens to society once a critical mass of people become obsessed with the apocalypse and lusting over the thought of killing 'raiders' (aka their starving neighbors) is pretty nuts. Hands down the worst place I've ever lived. The feeling of living in the suburb from Edward Scissorhands while listening to rich boomers wax poetic about someday killing the poors en masse is really something.
Yep trans and here. Sucks
@@thelemon5069 oh no, my condolences u_u I hope you get to a better place soon!
Something interesting I've noticed about most of these doomsday preppers is they have a years worth of expired food but not a single bar of soap
If you want to know how to survive after a collapse, talk to a punk whos lived in his van on the road for 4 years. We have some tricks, for sure.
Alright, how’d you do it because I really want to know /serious
Most of the nuclear material gets changed to elements with very short half-life’s after a nuclear blast so you’d only really need to prep for a couple months. The material left over from producing nukes is far more dangerous than what’s left over after one explodes and several weeks pass. Though it’s definitely more dangerous to be near a nuclear impact site after one has recently exploded, shorter half life’s means more danger initially.
By the way guys when he says “calc” it means Calculator. He’s just using slang guys.
There is à big history of doomsday prepping in the US since the 50s. Starting with cold war nuclear paranoïa of Middle class America expressed by building nuclear shelters in their backyard, this is the 2024 equivalent lol
Man I wish I would have used the anti-cancer frequency to fix my lymphoma! Would have worked MUCH better than chemo!
dasani is the WORST water too, damn
The water one isn’t a bad idea if you’re expecting a power outage from a big storm coming, but u can’t keep it for very long & you don’t need too much. We usually fill up the tub for washing hands/ flushing toilets b4 a big snow storm
13:33 the thing is the closest we have in written record to an apocalypse scenario is the Black Death, and this libertarian, every man for himslef and especially movie based idea (as there would be no movie otherwise) is nonsense. Community didn't get stronger, it just stayed the exact same. The rule of law stayed, crime didn't have a noticable uptick, very little changed, in a way depressingly so and the biggest thing that happened was worker rights movements, but that was a movenment with hundreds of thousands of people on one side, not every peasant for themselves. It ended with slightly more compensation and that was it.
ive been prepped for doomsday since that one time i was 16 and had a mental breakdown bc i realized people really just be dying
The whole "turning the frogs gay" thing was Alex jones not understanding an issue or purposely misleading his audience. The issue is that yes, there are many pharmaceuticals in the water. They get there because humans pee them out. This can cause issues in some animals, primarily amphibians who are very susceptible to environmental changes because of their permeable skin. So what he meant by "turning the frog gay" is him misunderstanding that pharmaceutical in the water can cause some frogs to be hermaphrodites.
So the frogs turned gay?
I never understand the obsession with emp protection since most electronics are so interconnected for use that if one small part of the system goes down they stop working as intended. So why worry about a phone or radio when if the rest of the system goes down a working phone ilor radio has no use as a phone or radio anyway
A radio is a good idea because they're usually the last system of communication to stay functional. You need very little to start broadcasting, and they're also the best way to receive emergency broadcasts. Their construction is very simple, so they have few points of failure and are easier to repair than basically any other wireless communication device.
I'm preparing for my landlord to not make it through the blast of the apocalypse, so me and my neighbors will have a whole apartment building when we have a shtf situation.

They went to college in Europe and had their entire life paid for, and all they do is judge the people beneath them. I hate rich kids

It’s comedic that some parts of our collective consciousness as a species are still irrationally terrified of solar eclipses even after we’ve investigated their nature to such a degree that we can accurately predict exactly when and where they’ll happen with more reliability than our own weather.
My ex co worker is an EMP/Nuke doomsday prepper, he bought this EMP proof box off Amazon (idk if it works or not) and be downloaded survival videos so it could teach his kids
Bro could be learning how to garden and stockpile actual food but instead he's hoarding precious medals and merch. He could start a merch/gold shop, but in the event of an apocalypse he would probably be better off with skills for sourcing food, water. Food is fairly EMP resistant.....
The bag that can protect your electronics from a EMP can easily made my just wrapping aluminum foil around the electronics device. Or lining a box with aluminum foil will also work.
They really are scamming these people.!!
You want holes. Screen door screen or chicken wire or something.
I will say, the preppers do make some good water filtration tanks. I got one because our drinking water isn't great and I go through wayyy too much water to just use bottled water.
I wish I had space for that, I drink bottled water and use a gallon of store bought distilled water for washing my face and sometimes rinsing off my whole body after a shower bc it's record hard here, Everything is perpetually coated with a film. Have a washer but debating using a laundromat far away bc bedding and clothes feel and look gross.
Speaking from experience the folding shovel has practical uses, especially if you live in an area with heavy snowfall in winter. It's handy for digging your car out of the snow. Additionally, its compact, foldable design makes it convenient for storage, particularly if you live in a small apartment.
I use a small one on camping trips to bury poop. I'm not sure that's a top concern in an EMPocalypse though
@@tenthweb idk, I feel like in a serious crisis, getting rid of poop could become an issue. There was a storm here like 15 years ago that knocked our power out for a few days, we were mostly fine but our friends a couple miles away had no water and that was way more problematic because they couldn't flush the toilet. Human feces are a huge disease vector in refugee camps too.
@@EmissaryofWind yer gonna need to do a bit more than bury it wi a wee shovel though in that case! lol
I read this comment before seeing the "shovel" in the video and I thought it was a like a trench shovel. But that tiny folding spoon probably won't hold up to gardening, let alone digging your car out of the snow.
The guy who tried to “Well actually 🤓, it’s more than $35 of gold” is so funny because that’s still only like a month of rent.
I had a really cheap apartment that I shared with someone for a few months, and that would still only be 4 months rent *for my share*.
