"How we live is much more important than when we die." Beautiful.
Stole my comment LOL
@@lrbroccoli 🥰💋❤Many of us feel this way. I suppose this is why we gather here. This is our precious fleeting life. It's the beautiful heavenly gift we can open in each our own way. We preppers, the wiser I like to think, live our lives off the grid because being independent of societal convention (and bogus limiting retrictions) are basically prepared for anything. This "Living in the Now" and not for tomorrow makes for a richer more peaceful, secure and rewarding life. I know you feel it too. Still though, we are made secure by embracing all the best while preparing for the worst. I'm happy every day. I sleep like a babe at night. And I love the courageous hearted! Just you reaching out makes me bubble up with joy. Thank you. Socializing to the very limited degree I do, only takes place with my UA-cam friends. We find each other! And otherwise, we are at peace amidst the woodland fairies. So, great quote! The origin of everything comes to us through God anyway. We are the messengers of unconfitional love & beauty. Rock on Soul Brother. Rock on in this very magical moment of today.
Reducing your dependence to the grid is a great idea.
@@LibertyWarrior68 The incessant chatter and overstimulation even apart from all the misinformation and distraction is intensely disruptive to a man's ability to think independently, wisely, calmly.
For centuries, just living was the thing that mattered and physical health was only an issue when a person got sick (symptoms), but then people realized that prevention was the right way. However mental health was still neglected, but many have learned that prevention, mental health exercise and such, is the best way again.
Now we have an epidemic or pandemic of psychological illness. The treatment and prevention for this is the same - Detach from the artificial inputs, return to things that are psychologically healthy.
- Time of solitude (especially for men) preferably in the wild.
- Use of Manskills to solve everyday tasks instead of apps and credit cards.
- A psychological healthy diet of genuine relationships meaning in person, face to face. Meeting around the campfire is best.
- Reading good books that are not destructive to a man's soul, but instead bring out his best self. Enlightenment era great books exemplify this.
Indeed these words are thousands of years old but they need to be heeded more than ever:
Prepare your hearts and minds
Our actions are the only things that define us. Our thoughts are our own, and regardless of what they are, they should not be condemned. But our outward actions can, and should, be judged. _How_ you live, i.e. how you conduct yourself, matters. Death is nothing more than our final act(ion).
I think being prepared is being proactive and responsible not paranoid.
Don’t let anyone convince you otherwise
Agree
@@RuralVol never
@@alvick353 👍
Fyi prepping is even in the Bible💜🙏
Every time a hurricane hits the store shelves are empty in hours. Same idiots who make fun of preppers are the ones begging the government to save them.
If everyone was prepared they shelves wouldnt be empty because people would be buying the regular ammounts.
Can’t save everyone….
After the year and a half the world has been thru, it’s amazing that there are non preppers.
Its been day 13 for 483 days now.
Some people are so dependent on the system, they will fight to defend it
@@dannylamb456 And the irony is most of them have watched the matrix.
They no doubt consider themselves brave, special, and progressive for their adherence to and adoration of their overlords.
I made the mistake of letting a coworker in a indirect way know I was a prepper last year. I thought this man was a stand up guy, and I knew he had a wife and children so I tried to help him and his family by subtly give him advice/information on setting food aside for an emergency. I thought we were good but this guy about 3-4 months ago at lunch in our break room made a huge production about my advice in front of everyone. He tried to shame me for being a paranoid/crazy prepper, and made fun of me having food set aside. He made a very big deal out of it. Anyway now they are talking about a second lockdown over this horse shit and the D variant of the Coof. Again we were in the breakroom and he starts in again about my advice and prepping then he states "Well, I dont need to prep, anything goes wrong and I will just go to your house!" I get very serious and I tell him If anyone comes to my home during a SHTF and they are not a friend or family it will be very bad for them. To which he says"What you going to shoot me!" To which I said Yes! So lately this same guy has been trying to find ot where I live by trying to shame me by saying"What you dont trust me?" To which I say No I dont trust you as you have proven to be untrustworthy! Needless to say I have a job interview this Monday and if all goes well I well be out of there and on to a better paying job and better yet anonymity.
That coworker deserves what’s coming (societal collapse)
@@alexandert2275 Agreed, but I feel bad for his kids. They cant help having a stupid asshole for a father!
Are you a Scrub, that's the only place I have heard the term "the coof'. ❤️🍀
@@lindahunter1969 yes!!! I’m a scrub. 😂😂😂
The lesson of maintaining anonymity is a lesson that is very important to learn. I had the reputation as the “prepper” at an old job even though I didn’t advertise it. My hobbies kinda gave it away though. Foraging, smithing, camping (for real not in a camper). I never even mentioned my firearms hobbies, period.
When the lock down began last March in the US, a friend of mine said something like the damn preppers made the toilet paper shortage happen. It made me laugh. I then told her, no, the preppers already Had toilet paper! It was the Unprepared who got scared and hoarded the toilet paper! She no longer is my friend - her choice.
so true. those that kept their own well stocked only bought a pack here and there to re-supply what was being used. i spent more time picking up the odd ball canned goods to round things out.
@@stevebelongie7031 Me, too.
I lived through hard times as a child. I have always been "prepared" to face hard times again, because I know what it is like to be hungry, long term. So I have always kept a well stocked pantry. When friends mention it, I just say, oh, Im neurotic about it because of
my childhood, I can afford to, it hurts no one. They accept that. It's just that my larder is now even more extensive, but they don't know that..
The Great Toilet Paper Shortage of 2019! I once told a friend that there are certain plants that back in the day people would use the leaves for toilet paper. She didn't believe me so I brought her some. She called to let me know how well it worked. What do people think they did before the invention of toilet paper? Now I'm going to go research the invention of modern toilet paper🤔
You are better off without thst ex friend.
State Trooper pulls over a Granny. He notices she has a gun and asks, Ma'am do you have any guns in the vehicle? She responds, Yes, I have several. The Trooper asks, Why are you concerned for your safety? She responds, I'm not concerned about a G*damned thing.
Precious.....😂
I remember that story but with more of a breakdown of what guns and where they were in her car and purse.
Fantastic!
@@AriThecraftydragon Yeah, there was more to it, but the point is same.😉
Lol. Good story 🤣
😂🤣😂🤣
The people who laugh are the reason why prepping is important.
O that's a good one
During the two World Wars, it turned out that the people who laughed at preppers were the first ones to turn looters.
@@nightwind7022
In the modern era, they'll be the first wave of foot soldiers in all but name for whatever government is left.
Yup. They turn into looters, thieves, and raiders if the apocalypse ever comes.
People who trust the government scare me.
Those who are dependent on the government have no life choices. The fact that many in government facilitate this dependency is even scarier.
Me as well, North America is becoming scarier every day.
Amen...
@@JTFU I've idly entertained fantasies about building my own personal sub, forswearing everything on land, and becoming Captain Nemo.
Minus the whole attacking military vessels bit.
I'd just be an aquatic hermit.
A lot of those people are book smart and common sense dumb!
"You're being paranoid"
Like my dad would say paranoia is just a heightened state of awareness
It’s certainly the case that a heightened state of awareness looks like paranoia to those who pay no attention at all.
@Gerhardt Roos Lol, thats what I told my therapist, and he had to agree, when I went a bit more in detail;)
A fine quote from Kerry Thornley!
I like your dad Nullshet. And, conscious awareness is a whole other vital aspect to self preservation!
As someone who grew up living on the gulf coast and dealing with yearly hurricanes, prepping is a common sense part of life
Biloxi, Mississippi , same here. Husband and I every April we stock hurricane supplies.
I was afraid, until I discovered prepping... Now I am focused on what I can do... Instead of what I cannot do. :)
To think a prepper is not prepared to defend their stock is pure ignorance
As someone who loves histroy I couldnt even comprihend people having such a silly view before I saw it. You see when in the napalionic wars France massively expanded its army but kepts the suply traint the same size, so they where forced to live off the land (take food from the locals wherever they went) this resulted in even the most law abiding and central government following people like north germans forming bands and fighting french musketeers with clubs and axes. You see if someone takes all the germans food and seeds so the german is gona starve he runs to his neibors house and warns him of what the french are doing and so the news spreads and so when the french turn a corner they get attacked by all the neiborhoods farmers who had their food stolen and would have their food stolen because the dozen musketeers might shoot some but in the end 10 to 1 they will lose and all the german households will get their food back even if some died to make it happen (even those who died by shot or bayonet would be happy because their family will get their food back and will live on rather than the entire family slowly starving).
The Bible talks alot about being "prudent" which means taking great care or thought of the future! That is what Preppers do.
True ,proverbs 13 verse 6,but its much more wiser to seek GOD now while he can be found Before he steps into this worlds affairs as promised ,the signs and prophecies show we are in the last days of this system .Daniel 2verse 44, is the end game ,then psalms 37verese 11 and ten shows the outcome for the loving part of mankind left over from GODS war shortly.
Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise! It has no commander, no overseer or ruler, yet it stores its provisions in summer and gathers its food at harvest.
Proverbs 6:6-9
"The last one here ... I don't need to prepare because I'll just come around and steal your stuff." I burst out laughing before Bjorn added "Good luck with that" and chuckled. We agree. Good one!
Only after coasting in a soft society for their entire life can people say “just chill”. There will be no joy among this crowd when times get hard.
Strong men make for good times, good times make for weak men, weak men make for hard times, hard times make strong men... don't worry, we will survive, the weak are making for the bad times, stay strong protect your loved ones, and remember it will get better... it might just get worse first.
This mindset is very prevalent here in Australia.. the saying goes "she'll be roight mate!" 🤦♂️
@@carl8568 That's true Carl, but don't forget what that expression actually means.
'She'll be right' is our way of saying that no matter what happens, no matter how bad things get, we can and will cope with it. And we can and will overcome.
Don't make the mistake of thinking it's meant to signify any kind of blind, ignorant apathy, for it doesn't, and never has.
@@Loribyn
Well that depends what you're applying it to. I think its ties to blind complacency are viable and whilst the MSM might cite it as some kind of mindset curse, that's more of a propaganda effort drawing on nostalgic slang.
Literally tens of thousands of people have flooded the streets in protest in London, Melbourne is lucky to have a couple of thousand. The last convid related protest I attended in Melbourne there were roughly 50 protesters.
telling other people “just chill” is stupid but I’m gonna just chill knowing I put all my eggs in one basket so if any prepped scenario happens I’m fucked and that’s okay
People are so oblivious. They’re operating under the premise that everything is fine and there’s nothing to worry about. That is the mindset that will lead to your demise. Good luck with that.
Sadly that's because most people have been indoctrinated into believing this system is the only way of life and nothing else. It was a brainwashing of our entire species and so many have not woken up yet or refuse to.
Normalcy bias. You know that disaster movie trope of the old lady who declares “I’ve been living here for 50 years and I’m not leaving” and then somebody has to carry her out of harm’s way over their shoulder? What people don’t realize is she actually personifies the entire audience. They all think she’s crazy but they’re all actually her.
yep. I got kicked out of fb for 30 days because I challenged a stupid individual when she called me a jerk.
fb tagged it or someone reported it as harassment.ended up deactivating my shit book account.
After reading this thread, please remember some of us are only one generation off the farm. And there are people whom choose a rural life in small communities. It’s the rhythm of the seasons….
Almost everyone I know is like this. Even when they were wigging out last year seeing the riots and hatred of us, they only panicked a bit then went back to thinking everything is fine and there is no reason to learn any skill or invest in a some kind of equipment for even a minor emergency like a generator or a way to make fresh water. Very basic things. The huge majority of Americans are horribly unprepared for even a small emergency that lasts a week. A week without electricity or gasoline is just devastating. Look what happened in Texas when it just got cold and they lost power for just A FEW DAYS.
Them: "Don't you trust your government?"
Me: "Lol, how long have you been on this planet?"
Not a question in the UK. Just a statement.
"How we live is more important than when we die."
That really got me on a spiritual level, honestly.
same here
That goes beyond any single religion. Respect from across the pond.
Ditto
Trusting the government still does not obviate personal responsibility. Even if the government WERE trustworthy (they arent) they can still make mistakes. Prepping is not about preparing for the every day, its about preparing for harder times, its a back up in case things get rougher, not to ease a transition to rough times but to survive it.
Exactly! Even if the government were of good will, do you seriously think they are competent? Do you think that a government who was seemingly unable to have any masks that weren't expired would be capable of maintaining food and water supplies?
ask anyone do you trust politicians? they answer no guaranteed
so why are they trusting them with this? they are suddenly telling the truth
People are disconnected from reality and truth. When confronted with reality and truth, cognitive dissonans and denial almost always kick in.
Until the day the preppers forecast is getting real then they'll turn into something worse than animals. But until that time they'll preach tolerance for everyone and everything and rainbowflags all over the place.
People are stupid and brainwashed by media and government.

@@antlerr A daughter in law is someone your son married, get it? Wasn't his doing. Was his son's error.
As a Christian I believe faith without works is dead. The works dont save you they are just the evidence. By their fruit you will know them.
As far as being worthy none of us could ever come close. Man's righteousness is as filthy rags in the sight of God. We are saved by grace, and not by works, lest any man should boast.
My mom gave me a Preppers mindset as a child. She was a stay-at-home mom and purchased bulk supplies when finances allowed. I remember the Panic of the adults in the neighborhood during the Cuban Missile Crisis. My parents we're already prepared to stay at home and take care of their four boys. The preper mindset isn't necessarily for social or natural upheaval. In my lifetime the SHTF on several occasions for me personally job losses etc. I was able to turn to my supplies on hand and more quickly dig out of my problem as a result. The fable of the Ant and the Grasshopper comes to mind everytime I hear critical comments concerning the prepper.
I'm glad to see you mention that fable. I grew up reading Aesop's Fables, once I was old enough to read them for myself, and there's a treasure chest worth of good advice in them.
I grew up modeling many of my approaches to life after my dad's parents, who grew up during the Great Depression, and passed on a lot of the philosophy of using what you can, working for the things you want, being patient, and planning ahead. I'm glad you had what you did; it seems it has served you well.
I was thinking of this fable as well, Ken. Great minds think alike. Ha ha
Well said! Being prepared is a mindset, was always told me, I would be thrown out onto the streets when I reached 16. Thankfully I was close to 2 of my grandparents, they tought me many wonderful things similar to yours x
A few years later I did a survival course, needless to say, an opportunity arouse, I gathered cockles & mussels from the shore line, whilst waiting for the boat to take us to the drop off location. One instructor much later spotted the haul, he was 'surprised' but had also spotted I hadn't allowed for water flow through the haul. Ensuring our haul lasted a few days longer, and didn't spoil, he had a bag with holes, allowing water flow to keep the shellfish fresh. It prevented us getting food poisoning & the haul was willingly shared to all.
Survival, preparedness etc is a mindset, not just problem solving, but more. A positive way of life, solution finding with the wilingness to rapidly adapt positively to ever changing circumstances, beyond your control.
My parents taught me most of the important things in life .My education was a disaster because of the principle and teachers didn't like the Religion I was raised with but that's not the only reasons.
@@carolineowen7846 that's a wonderful story Caroline, thank you.
Meanwhile, Sweden recently reinstated "total defense" and told their citizens to prepare.
As far as being paranoid goes, most people have a built in normalcy bias and feel that it could never happen here. They could not be more wrong.
"Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean that they're NOT out to get you." There's nothing wrong with a little healthy paranoia.
Could our ruler be planning to genocide us? Nah, that has never ever happened before :/
@@freddieh5539 Right on Freddie
All of these "criticisms" are simply their way of excusing their own indolence.
Yes exactly. Which is why it would be amusing if I ever talked to one of them, you see Im no the preper a years worth of potatos in the basement is just what my kin do, so we would bough be baffled at each others way of life.
Just remember ... everyone used to have to prepare for winter, every year, or their family would die. Why would we think that we no longer need to be self-sufficient? I do not understand the criticism of the behaviour that kept our species alive for generations.
Many humans/cultures still prepare for the winter, it's normal.
Yes, that was the beginning of Western civ. Winters were harsh. Couldn't grow veggies or fruits. Had to preserve food to get ya to spring.
@@teknotony We still do in our home.
@@tessbrex3823 Of course! The foundation of all civilization is based on preparing ahead.
Too many people have gotten used to the stores having the food. Sadly there are people who think the food just spawns in supermarkets... just when you think we are past the idea of spontaneous generation.
It's not a matter of being paranoid, it's are you paranoid enough? Being prepared is called common sense.
Non-Prepper: "I'm coming to your house when the SHTF!"
Me: "No, no you're not."

Most governments in Europe have issued preparedness notices. THAT EVERYONE SHOULD HAVE AT LEAST TWO WEEKS OF FOOD AND FUEL. THAT HAS BEEN COMMON PRACTICE for years

A real emergency will run a lot longer than two weeks. That two week stash is only to give them enough time to secure hard points around the area to keep you under control when the food does run out.

Your Christian question I can look up the verse “To live is Christ and to die is gain” because we will be with Lord and I agree with your statement how we live is much much more important than how we die and in Christianity and I think also how you live we pour our lives out for others.
"We're all going to die anyway" - I would prefer to die of old age, not panic or starvation.

Would you rather die of old age? Old age is basically dying in slow motion. You get more enjoyment out of life but you also get at least as much suffering. Think about all the terrible and pernicious illnesses elderly people have to put up with that those who die young never have to experience.
I wouldn't be too quick to judge a long life as better than a short one or one death as better than another death.
It's all death at the end of the die. You're going to get it one way or the other.

Exactly, you sum it up perfectly.
Self preparedness is the lack of government reliance.
"Just because you are paranoid doesn't mean they aren't after you..."
Or as one said about cyber security. The question isn't whether you're paranoid or not, but if you're paranoid enough...

The Boy Scout motto is “Be Prepared”. The Coast Motto is “Semper Paratus” (Always Ready). I served in the Army, Navy & Marine Corps and in the military if you are not prepared you could have a real bad day.
The Boy Scouts were founded on Masonic principles. The Scouts use the fleur-de-lis as their emblem. It is an ancient occult symbol which is hiding your true reality from you. It is a cosmogram. It is EVERYWHERE. You can learn what it means in my _Secret of the Fleur-de-lis_ video.
The Army, Navy & Marine Corps and military are all under the control of the Masonic Brotherhood. You can learn what Masonry is through my two videos (and the comments) on _Babylon the Great._

And better yet allowing some of said faeces to dry on to your skin, sometimes later, if active enough, rehydrating through friction and general chafing...
What a totally whacky idea!
Oh, those tp panicked people 🙄

My grandparents survived the great depression and WWII. They often did things similar to prepping and never considered paranoid or unusual. For them it was just being pragmatic and using common sense.

When asked about my pantry, my response is two fold. 1) Have you ever been good-n-hungry and no way honorable to get something to eat? 2) Try living 30 miles (48.3 kilometers) from the nearest grocery store and 20 miles (32.2 kilometers) from the nearest gas station. You learn from your mistakes (your personal SHTF events) and you think ahead (Running out of milk is one thing. Not have the fuel to get to the store is a whole 'nother can of worms.)
I agree that being prepared with food, water, medical supplies are good. Broadcasting it to the world however is a bad idea. Realistically, unless you can defend what you have stockpiled, people will prey upon them.
True, that's why ammo (lots of ammo) and a few guns are as important as your rice and beans.
That's why you don't tell people what you are doing and if they pick up on you stock piling always have a back up plan and do not tell anyone except those who will be included in the back up plan. I highly recommend that you only speak of it in a private setting person to person.
@@bonedigger666 Easy for you Yanks to say, In England only Toffs can get guns, If they found me with a gun I would get 10 years. BUT a crossbow is alright lol.
@@Li54299 No, that's why you gaslight people when they pick up on your stockpiling. There's nothing wrong with lying, when people ask about things that are none of their business. Or even with making them question their own sanity.

I remember 30 years ago I had neighbors who grew up on a farm in Tennessee. As adults no longer living in Tennessee, they had a pantry nicely stocked. It was just their way of life. Good people, good lifestyle.
Greetings Bjorn! Your belief system is identical to mine as well! My Gods are Zeus, Ares, Athena, Artemis, Poseidon etc. Here in Sparta we are all prepers and most parts of Hellas(Greece) are ready for anything. We have seen a lot of nasty thigs since the ancient times.
In the city they are scared, weak and naive but the rest of the country is ready.
As for those little elves who say that they will come and steal our “stuff” ill just quote you....
” good luck with that” .
You are a good man Bjorn, may the Gods bless you and your family.

If things are going to be fine.
If things aren’t going to be.
And everything in between.
Successful people always have a plan B - C & D
Absolutely. Just as most who aren’t preppers take it for granted that things will be ok, forever, some preppers make the mistake of being certain that things will completely break down, tomorrow. Putting all of your resources into long term food for instance, or a bunker, but not being able to pay your bills 6 months from now is unwise.
Hi Bjorn…we are preppers, and you are absolutely correct…if you are prepared, you need not fear. Thank you for your insight and for the courage to share it. 👍🏻
I wish I had someone like you to talk to when I was growing up. I know I would have made better choices
"There's no such thing as paranoia"
- Hunter S. Thompson
Prepped believe the world will go on, that IS why we prep!
Most of the "I'll come get your stuff" people won't know how to use or prepare my preps.
Can they reload ammo?
Can they use a snare?
Can they skin a rabbit?
Can they cook on an open fire?
Do they know you have to cook beans to eat them?
Can they bake bread without yeast or an oven?
And will they stay somewhere long enough to grow a garden? Then what do you do with all those veggies???
"You may come, but you'll never get my stuff..."
I know what you mean. I just tell people this: "being PREPARED is NOT the same as being scared." Just like: "Being aware is not the same as being IN FEAR."

"No you won't" Well said Bjorn!
I think that there are many who can't see the writing on the wall and what's coming. And I don't think it's going to be possible to be PREPARED ENOUGH. Great video Bjorn. Thank you.
I look at it in terms of knowing the “world” isn’t going to end, but the fabric of it will. So what am I willing to do about it. And who’s world, exactly? Not everyone sees the “world” the same way.
Prepping is for me a positive mindset, being ready for the worst, and hoping for the best and knowing the good times from the bad. It means I am optimistic that no matter what happens, my family will be okay. Uncomfortable perhaps, but okay enough.
Are rights are under attack as we breath .
The world itself will end very soon. The end is here. But even once it ends. Christ will have his 1000 year reign on earth, then satan will be released once again to deceive the world then sometime after that this heaven and earth will pass away.
I never thought of myself as a "Prepper" but I suppose I am as I have a large stash of canned and dried food a large quantity of bottle water , drawers full of batteries candles and matches , a campers stove and a good supply of gas in my shed . Add to that the fact that at 81 years of age I have started growing potatoes cabbage onions and tomatoes.......umm yes I suppose you could call me a prepper. I go out every day walking my dog, I never wear a mask , have repeatedly refused the poke in the arm, I am a Mum Grandmother great Grandmother and I will do my best to keep my family fed. As for me! ?well I am not planning on leaving any time yet, I hope to still be hear to celebrate when we win this diabolical war. Love your videos Bjorn, please keep doing what you're doing, folks like me need you.
im growing my iwn veg,stopped smoking,i work out.and i live beside the sea,so food hopefully wont be an issue if all goes to shite
If you live close to the sea fishing is also a possibility. Relaxing too.
I like that you point out that this was normal for our grandparents generation. Here in the states they had lived through the dust bowl, the Spanish flu, the great depression and the 2 world wars shared across the globe. They knew first hand how fragile the supply chain is and how easily it breaks down.
This summer as the grid overloads with record heat there will be many people in the Americas who experience a summer without AC for the first time in their life. The death toll is already high and summer has barely begun.
It's not how long you live that counts, but the quality of your life!
Why do peppers prep? Because they don't believe it is someone elses responsibility to fix things when life goes bad!
Don't you trust your Government?
There are only two people I trust, one of them is me, and the other isn't them!
Bjorn, thank you for what you do! Thanks to all the community here and it's good to feel we're not alone.
Keep walking keep talking,you are more than a prepper you are a stepper💟
The people who are telling prepoers that they are negative and/or afraid are the ones that really are negative and/or afraid.
Thank you for your wise words and that you are sharing so much! 🙏
Lmao Bjorn the one I get that's downright shocking is, "Quit trying to push me into stocking up, I live in town right next to all the stores"👀
😳
My favorite thing about being prepared is that when something does happen, it's actually kind of fun for me. It doesn't stress me out because I know I have things in place to ensure my family is safe and secure. And yes, things do happen. Sure maybe not a full on collapse and WROL chaos but lesser problems do occur. I've lived through several incidents myself. These smaller events can really help you to test your preps and make you more prepared the next time.
Non-preppers will say how dumb it is to plan ahead but then go out and buy life insurance so their family can survive without them. Prepping is just life insurance you don't have to die to use.
"Survival insurance."
As an Eagle Scout I can tell you that the scout slogan is "be prepared". I was raised to be ready for what might come and I have always tried to follow through with that mindset. Also, I grew up in earthquake country in California (yes I left as soon as I could) and learned that even being prepared for the world moving about hard enough for ones house to fall down is not a silly concept. On the Christian aspect, Jesus told us to be ready for the end of the world. That does not say sit there and watch it come. That says BE READY! Love your videos! Keep up the good work.

I Am Concerned, not afraid.
Each set of Problems I prepare for gives me another small bit of Peace 😊
My grandmother was a prepper too.😜 She was prepping for winter and so should we, prepare for dark times.

That last one always gets me. The wife is less security minded, and drags one of her friend's husband into the garage, he looks around and says "I know where I'm going, if SHTF..." and I reply "In the ground?"
Being a prepper is a mindset. Look at the Amish here in America they are self sufficient. As far as the Christian mindset you are correct. You should do your best in everything you do.
I moved to the country, but in the city near by the Amish come with debit/credit cards. Huh? This is strange to me.
@@ladygreen632 I have had dealings with a lot of Amish in northern Indiana and believe me they are not as old fashioned as most think.
I think you covered those comments very well. People have been called sheep for thousands of years for a reason. Most people just stand there in the flock bleating about and not getting anything done. They require a good shepherd to protect them. You my good man, are no sheep. Thanks for sharing this!
Situational awareness is not paranoia. Being aware of your surroundings and what is taking place, then putting things in order accordingly is not paranoia. Much love friend Jesus Christ is King
The simplicity and honesty of this guy is what really captvates me, his content is good, but his morals and characther make it worth to listen. Good job friend, may the Lord grant you a long and blessed life.
Bjorn, Christianity and prepping go hand in hand. The Bible is filled with warnings to be wise and prudent, to work hard, and care for our own families. In the book of Proverbs it says "Go to the ant, you sluggard;
consider its ways and be wise! It has no commander, no overseer or ruler, yet it stores its provisions in summer and gathers its food at harvest." And also, "Those who work their land will have abundant food but those who chase fantasies will have their fill of poverty." Of course, there are some Christians who say prepping is showing a mistrust in God to provide for our needs. But that's foolishness in my mind - God does care for our needs, by giving us wisdom and showing us how to prepare for our families in hard times.
And here's a good one: "The prudent see danger and take refuge, but the simple keep going and pay the penalty."
God also says its ok to kill a group for their land and loot, good book to follow that:)
@@Goldenhawk583 it said, to one group of people, to seize land promised them.
Not everybody.
@@phredphlintstone6455 it happens several times, to expand areas, to get rid of people they didnt like etc..Not just to get the land they claim they were promised that they are STILL killing people over.
@@Goldenhawk583 to seize land promised them.
You are missing the point. One group of people, is the point.
It's not like we can't find other religions that twist the writings of a holy book to their own will. Think 72 virgins. Yeah, that isn't in that particular book.
One major takeaway from my Boy Scouts days was there Motto "Be Prepared". People who don't prepare for the things they do or will do, are not setting themselves up for success. We also had a saying in the Navy " A lack of planning on your part does not constitute and Emergency on my part" Bjorn keep up the good work.

I'll trust in my strength, my judgement and my preparation. I will not give in to a dogma designed to weaken and enslave the masses and tear out their pagan roots.
@@ansuz444 The dogma you speak of is not Christianity. It's a bunch of made up nonsense used to control people. Sad that the majority of so-called Christians believe in it. Sadder still that their beliefs discourage many from seeking God. I wish you well.
@@PavlovsBob Ahh yes that old "That's not real Christianity!" Reminds me of the SJW Marxists/Commies that always say "That wasn't real Communism!"
They are the same people who also make sure they say '' wear a seat belt, lock your car doors, house doors, have an alarm on both house and vehicles, have insurance'' so really, the are minimalist preppers !
To your tenth point: it is unfortunate that some of those "looter preppers" will actually attempt to survive that way. A few will succeed--at least initially--but will eventually succumb to the misery they have brought on themselves. A life of evil is a curse, and in the end, the reward will be equally horrific for those who live that way.
Speaking of "looter prepers" Ya all come on over here to California, you can steal $950 from Walmart or Walgreens and it's only a misdemeanor. I.e. no jail time... come on over ! The 'Left' is real easy on looters, and I'm sure that applies also to 'looter prepers' ... come on over, and steal your way around town !!!
@morten storås you don't need a 'looter Visa'. Did I not make myself clear? The citizens of California passed a bill in 2014 which allows people who steel less than $950 no jail time. Stealing less than $950 is only a misdemeanor. That's why we're famous for 'Smash-n-Grab'. I.e. there's no consequences.
Here in California the majority of our citizens pity thieves so they let them off EASY. May I be blunt?California is dominated by 'leftist' dumb bells.

Excellent reflection upon Bjorn's invention, the wooden smartphone. Not quite a 5G iPhone but quieter, calmer, much less intrusive.
I agree with you Bjorn on all ten of your responses to the comments.
Almost the whole video I was thinking that most of prepping is only what my grandparents did.
They had a chest freezer, tinned food in the cellar, dry foods in the kitchen cupboards, and vegetables in the garden. Two fire places and some candles.
As you said at the end, it was normal 🤷♀️
If only more of society had stayed, normal....
