I hit rock bottom about 15 years ago ,took all the tablets the doc gave me , didn't work ,came off them . Started reading stoic philosophy it totally change my out look on life in a very positive way . The right attitude is everything with out it you are finished . Great channel my friend.
I agree with a lot of what you say, I think there’s a big difference in the generations in the UK and also where and when you were brought up. For me in the 70’s in the balckcountry our evening meal was a rack of pork ribs that the butcher would either throw away because of no value or charge a handful of pennies for, we ate chicklings, brains, tripe etc because it would fill and was cheap. Tinned food was always kept in the cupboard and more bought every week even if it wasn’t needed immediately, never knew when there was going to be shortages/strikes. This meant most of us working class families lived in a similar way, made preppers out of all of us. Not preppers as in end of the world but preppers in the end of our immediate existence, dad looses a job but we had tinned food to fall back on. It’s always left me feeling that I must have reserves in the cupboard, my twin 6 year olds are taught how to shoot, to recognise edible plants, what birds make what calls. All that done so that I know when I die they will always be able to put meat on the table, and to me that’s the need of survival and preppers! It doesn’t need to be an end of the world event, can be something simple like when up north couldn’t drink tap water due to there being too much chlorine put in it, I have a water butt to filer and purify or water my veg in a dry summer. I do have grab bags and certain items like small cookset and shovel always in my car, prepare for the worst but hope for the best. Great video and look forward to the others to come
Thanks John, much appreciated. I agree, It used to be called living according to common sense - normal life in other words. Today - it's 'prepping'... Drew

When you took out the machete it reminded me of a quote i once saw. "If an old dude ever gives you advice while peeling an apple with a pocket knife and eating pieces right off the blade, you should probably take it" Had you done that with the machete it would have been the ultimate king boss moment. Haha.
Ha yeah, missed a trick there. Odd thing is I didn't pick up the blade knowingly - I was just lost in what I was going on about. When I saw it in the edit I thought wtf? Drew
You 100% right, have a positive mindset. An "I can do" and "I will do" attitude. Bear Grylls said having a positive mindset was the most important aspect of survival 🙂👍. Improvise, adjust and adapt is the Marine Corps second moto, the first is Semper Fidelis or always faithful 🙂👍.
I had to watch this again. This video actually made me feel better about things. You might also want to add you have to be okay in your own head. If you are not okay in your own head, you won't survive.
Agreed, Bob. I find stoicism encourages you to be ok in your mind, giving access to the strength in all of us - even if we think we don't have it. Drew
3 month of food ? Never had that .I had closer to a few years supply . I had been prepping since the 80s. So when the shortages hit , we started eating down extras on the food , tp and more . I even traded about $50 of ammo for a car . It was nice to see some uses and more to show the prepping for 40 years started showing some use .
On some level it feels like everything here is trying to extract our life force . Stoicism feels like it it shuts the door on it , being non reactive quite often is protective of our " energy " .
There was some unusual hot weather here in England recently and the government released a quick bulletin reminding people to carry some drinking water with them, IMHO useful for kids heading out for the day who often forget. Many people in the public sphere rebelled against this and were very noisily angry that anyone might require them to take even that basic measure of care for their own health, they hate to even imagine that they will not always be catered to wherever they are.
One of the things that helped me through a rough part of life was the attitude (and what I would tell myself when I examined my situation) as bad as things were it could be worse. It's a fact, attitude is everything.
That was deep but thought provoking, Personally myself i think life shapes and defines you as you go along it's highway doesn't it? It really is a bitter sweet symphony and i suppose the trick is to enjoy the best moments and weather the bad. After all without the bad how would you know when things are really good?
My neighbor thinks he needs a high-tech AR15 and the best combat pistol to survive, like most under 35ur years old do. I may be an old conger but I adhere to the philosophy that you 'go for it with what you've got! As you say,' positive thoughts,' counts! Louis Awerbuch said, 'when it all comes down the last man standing will be wearing gym shorts and sneakers, carrying a WW2 Mauser 98 while the Ninja types with all their cool gear lie cold at his feet! Great video!

When do you run for prime minister Drew !fantastic outlook boss .in my village im known as slightly eccentric as one lady said the other day"dont you find it odd that wen chatting to mike he will just take out a catapult and fire it "people have been programmed from early age.dont fight dont av a toy gun,fishings cruel . Bloody turnips . Inspirational boss !! Thank you
I have been thinking about what you have said on here , it makes a lot of sense and is in line with my mind set. After I retired , I realised all the time I have is mine to do what and when I like , it was a freedom. I now go shooting and am aiming (pun) to get my FAC , the gun club is full of people who are positive and fun. Many are helpful beyond what they need to be. Shooting air rifles outside is so theraputic , watching wildlife in the sun (or rain). After 2 hours I get home and are mentally so relaxed I fall asleep 🙂
You my friend, should hop on a Royal Enfield and take a journey from Manali to Leh - if you haven’t done it yet. I’m sure they have airguns up there. Hell, we should go together. I have a few of those trips under my belt. The films that would come out of there would just be historical, I’m sure
Words of wisdom Drew. I'd highly recommend a book called 'Awareness' by Anthony De Mello. I think you would really enjoy it, my friend. P. S. I very rarely recommend books, but this one is just superb, simple, beautiful wisdom.
I agree. Our mind is the greatest tool God has given us. Being truly realistic about our circumstances is the key to joy, peace and ultimately to survival in grave situations. I am interested in hearing more about using the Daisy 880 for hunting rabbits. I have been shooting one, using a Stoeger 4 X 32 fixed objective scope, for about a month (200 or so pellets), but am not yet satisfied that it is accurate enough. I keep getting flyers, one or two out of every 10 shoots using a variety of Crosman pellets. That is what is readily available in stores in South Dakota. The rifle is a good shooter for the price. Do you have any advice on improving the accuracy? By the way, it seems from a distance the situation for finding places to hunt and shoot is not that much different in South Dakota than in your area. There is a lot of open land on the prairie, but it is mostly private and being farmed or ranched. There are some public lands that are available for hunting. During hunting season, the police and game warden expect and welcome licensed hunters on these plots. The restriction is you cannot use the land for target practice. Some years the game quickly learn to move onto the private lands. That means private and club ranges for practice and getting permission from landowners for hunting.
I've only shot the 880 a few times, but my buddy has one so I'll check it out with some different ammo and see what I think about it - it definitely has the power for bunny hunting out to 25yards. I've never been happy with crosman ammo for super accuracy, I'll try some others I have. Thanks Will Drew
@@PlanetDrewdog Thanks for your help, I'll mail order some quality pellets and try a variety of them. That means more shooting, no hardship there. I get good accuracy with Crosman pellets in my Weirauch HW50s and Stoeger XM1. Those rifles are accurate enough with Crosman pellets, so I never tried anything else. Now I will try the new pellets in the Weirauch and the Stoeger. Maybe the good accuracy I mentioned above was just acceptable accuracy. An advantage you have in England, is air gun shops. I imagine those shops give the air gun shooter a level of service for air guns that does not exist in the United States. Another advantage is that Crosman has competition when it comes to selling pellets retail.
Thanks for your advice on the Daisy 880 accuracy problem. I tried Gamo Red Fire pellets and a different Crosman pellet (10.5 grain Round Nose). They gave better accuracy and much fewer fliers. The fliers I’m getting now are probably my shooting and not the gun. A $60 gun with practical accuracy (accurate enough to hunt rabbits) is appealing.
I try my best to steer away from negativity even if I am born with it ! I try to see both the good and the bad while trying not to focus on any of thoses options. - Being realistic. Having anxiety is a pain and if you focus on the worst it will make you quit before it even happens and if you focus on the best it might get you bummed that it didn't go this way... _There is a balance in everything you just got to find it._ So if shit hits the fan we go live into the mountains instead of cleaning up?😂
I know some people may find my comment Heartless but I am here just to see End of The World,I know it’s selfish I wil go through with it myself together with everyone else.

Great video. After reading many, many books about the Holocaust, I can tell you that the human mind was usually the way someone was able to survive, not strength or goods. Can't wait till the next one!
Yes indeed. It's incredible how much resilience we have when we're pushed to the limit, so much strength that people have but don't discover until they are truly tested.

By the way, it seems from a distance the situation for finding places to hunt and shoot is not that much different in South Dakota than in your area. There is a lot of open land on the prairie, but it is mostly private and being farmed or ranched. There are some public lands that are available for hunting. During hunting season, the police and game warden expect and welcome licensed hunters on these plots. The restriction is you cannot use the land for target practice. Some years the game quickly learn to move onto the private lands. That means private and club ranges for practice and getting permission from landowners for hunting.
I've only shot the 880 a few times, but my buddy has one so I'll check it out with some different ammo and see what I think about it - it definitely has the power for bunny hunting out to 25yards.
I've never been happy with crosman ammo for super accuracy, I'll try some others I have.
Thanks Will

@@PlanetDrewdog Thanks for your help, I'll mail order some quality pellets and try a variety of them. That means more shooting, no hardship there.
I get good accuracy with Crosman pellets in my Weirauch HW50s and Stoeger XM1. Those rifles are accurate enough with Crosman pellets, so I never tried anything else. Now I will try the new pellets in the Weirauch and the Stoeger. Maybe the good accuracy I mentioned above was just acceptable accuracy.
An advantage you have in England, is air gun shops. I imagine those shops give the air gun shooter a level of service for air guns that does not exist in the United States. Another advantage is that Crosman has competition when it comes to selling pellets retail.
Thanks for your advice on the Daisy 880 accuracy problem. I tried Gamo Red Fire pellets and a different Crosman pellet (10.5 grain Round Nose). They gave better accuracy and much fewer fliers. The fliers I’m getting now are probably my shooting and not the gun. A $60 gun with practical accuracy (accurate enough to hunt rabbits) is appealing.
I try my best to steer away from negativity even if I am born with it !
I try to see both the good and the bad while trying not to focus on any of thoses options.
- Being realistic.
Having anxiety is a pain and if you focus on the worst it will make you quit before it even happens and if you focus on the best it might get you bummed that it didn't go this way...

So if shit hits the fan we go live into the mountains instead of cleaning up?😂
Ha, given the choice I'll take the mountains 😎

I know some people may find my comment Heartless but I am here just to see End of The World,I know it’s selfish I wil go through with it myself together with everyone else. I love ❤️ life but lately people have completely strayed away from path of the Gods whom ever they might be, I don’t discriminate against anyone but this isn’t the right path for humanity…
The Video was awesome I want more, I am not Bigot…

I only have one 'god', and that is Gaia. This earth will go on in fine style long after we've annihilated ourselves. We humans are amazing, but deeply flawed...

Hard to have hope when you live in Kenada 😢😅
👍✌️🖖
Amen, brother, but you forgot one last element and that's faith!
Faith in yourself surely.?
Memento Mori.
I don't trust anyone anymore

Great video. After reading many, many books about the Holocaust, I can tell you that the human mind was usually the way someone was able to survive, not strength or goods. Can't wait till the next one!
Yes indeed. It's incredible how much resilience we have when we're pushed to the limit, so much strength that people have but don't discover until they are truly tested.
