- With the presidential election quickly approaching, people from the left and right are preparing for chaos to ensue. I never thought I'd see the day when liberals also prepared for a societal collapse.

My Dad was a prepper back in the 90s. He was a Federal Agent that was killed in a helicopter crash when I was 9. He stocked up on water, batteries, fuel, MREs, and especially ammunition. I have all of his guns and a lot of guns that I have bought. I try to keep at least 2,000 rounds of every caliber I own except for my muzzleloader. I didn't understand why Dad did this when I was a kid. 25 years later, I totally get it.
With all due respect, your dad sounds awesome. Although it was a while back, I'm sorry for your loss. May he be resting in peace at a much better place.
I'm sorry you lost your dad so young, my condolences. He did right by you, and that's not easily said about many. Truly grateful that wisdom gets shared down.
Happy and safe 2024 to you and yours!
Can I come stay with you? I'm a handyman - know how to bowhunt and fish, make fires, find water and a reasonable shot when I was in the cadets. War is coming I think.
@@rafezetter8003 I guess sorting out teams is the smart thing to do at this point. Better be ready... With those that aren't crazy and actually care for survival, that is key.
@@robertwolfgan Thank you.
I mean the cough single handily proved every prepper right and completely justified them. People magically stopped making fun of preppers when we had major supply chain issues over an illness with a whomping 2% mortality rate. If something like that messed everything up so bad imagine an illness with a 20% mortality rate.
.02 %
I LOVE your pfp
Not to mention what really happened after Hurricane Maria... The leftist mayor of San Juan deliberately left tons of provisions/clean water (sent by the Trump administration) in the harbor to rot/spoil. She didn't even try to hide what she was doing, but the MSM reported it as though Trump refused to send aid. The sick witch literally left Puerto Rican citizens suffering and in danger, just to make a president that she didn't like, look bad. And the leftist dodos still believe it happened the way the clowns in the news media and on Big Tech reported it. 🤷🏼♀️ That's gotta be some of the most severe TDS I've ever seen. 🤦🏼♀️
AND OLD PEOPLE@@Ryan-li8qc
According to the official data (gonflated numbers) the mortality rate was rather 1% and instead of prepping I’d pay more attention to the pharmaceuticals being pushed on us, I think those were more damaging than the disease itself.
My grandpa was a doomsday prepper in the late 90's/early 2000's. I was around 7 or 8 yrs old and thought he was crazy. He kept food stocked in the weirdest places. He had so many guns, literally like 100 gallons of water, a ton of fuel, 4 generators, etc. tbh I remember one time here on the east coast there was a crazy hurricane that knocked everyone's power out for a week. Not ours. We were the only house for miles that had power lol rip grandpa, love you
My dad is this way & trains me to become the same. Prepared. 🇺🇸
I am that grandpa, I feel I owe it to my family even if they think I am crazy!
Just a tech question. Correct me if I am wrong but if water isnt running water it goes bad. How can you keep that much water stored and it not going bad?
@@marcelsgroot no idea, I was 7 and didn't question it
@@marcelsgroot
Chlorine tablets, typically City or municipal water has Florine to kill pathogens but if water is stored in in unpressurized cistern the halogen will eventually evaporate. Same reason they keep adding chlorine to pools, it’s not that it’s actively killing bacteria. It said it does in fact evaporate.
There's nothing wrong with being prepared for a bad day or several hundred bad days. I moved my family out of the city to a lake front property for safty and security.
Not a bad move. The greatest threat prepping prevents isn't starvation but panic.
Smart man ❤
Were you living in Chicago? 😆👏👏👏👏good choice!!
My liberal friend just laughed at me when I told her that I was on some sort of flight watch list 7 years ago as it was guaranteed I would be pulled by TSA for advanced searches and my bag was always searched. My conservative family would laugh as over and over this would happen. “What the hell did you do to cause this? you are a boring Nurse” I had no idea. I bet my friend, who had picked me up at the airport, that my bag would have a TSA search notification inside… and there it was. The next day we were watching CNN and they announced that the Obama admin had put people on the TSA watchlist who had donated to state election campaigns in very close races in several states that might flip red. I had donated $25 each to four of the campaigns, because, hey they might actually have shot. That’s how I found out how I got on the list, right there in front of my friend 😂 Yeah, they have been abusing conservatives for years.
I have one sided conversations with the guys monitering my phone. It's probably not 24/7 but I know they likely try to keep track of me due to my internet presence and opinions.
@@xoxopreppyemi Communists don't care if it is legal.
@@matthewmosier8439 I have a buddy and when we would talk on the phone we would drop words and phrases like "Dirty Bomb' or 'Osama Bin Laden' as non sequitur in our conversations. You know, just in case someone was eavesdropping.
@@matthewmosier8439how do you know you're being monitored specifically? I mean, I know that everyone is being monitored, but when you said that you have " one sided conversations " sounds like for sure you know someone was listening to you at that moment.
Leftists engage in DARVO. Spread the word.
If a pollster asks you if you store food, ammo etc..... the answer is always no.
Yes!! No!
Agree!
Exactly. Never telegraph anything you do or have.
I ask for a billing address and tell them it is 125 an hour to talk to me and one hour minimum. They never take me up on the offer.
ok but why?
not disagreeing, genuinely curious.
I'm not from the US. But our Family has been doing prepping for about 3 generations, maybe longer. I've seen it in my own life how it has helped. My father had major health issues and eventually couldn't work for some time. As a kid I didn't even know that my mom had dug into our food storage for those 6 months, till years later when I heard her speaking to someone. It had helped to fill the gap of my dad not been able to work, as what little money my mom was bringing in was been used to pay the bills. Prepping doesn't have to mean the appochlips, but there will always be things like natural desasters, illness or unemployment. And having a stop gap to keep you going till you can figure things out is of huge benefit.
Appochilips
The biggest political fallacy people can have: "That won't happen if my side is in charge." We should be as prepared as our risk-tolerance and budget dictate.
That woman who thinks she’s just gonna open her home to people in need in a post apocalyptic world should watch Black Friday madness videos to get a very watered down look of how that will turn out lol
She's the people from vault 3 in new Vegas that opened their vault to the fiends to be friend's.
@@losigar7658 OH MY GOD YES!!! 🤣🤣🤣
God put on the hearts of many Christian’s and even seekers of God to have enough for their family and extra to share in 2019 and it sounds like back in 1999. This prevented chaos. My cities local food banks were forced to closed in 2020, but families like mine and others shopped less than ever in 2020 and donated more via little “leave if you have and take if you need” boxes because God prepared us. That’s how God is in control, but we have to obey and do are part. Clearly evil would have loved chaos and the false prophets of media kept predicting that there will be a run on food, but it was always when the people who are prepared felt like they should shop less, not more. Prepping isn’t hoarding, it’s simply being prepared a few months ahead of what others are.
The most effective prepping is to learn skills, knowing how to do useful hands-on things. Those icky trade job skills, like basic electrical and plumbing work, the basics of refrigeration/heat pump repair, gardening, etc. You'll run out of supplies. Knowledge is power.
But many in the younger generations are loath to learn how to do something useful that requires getting dirty hands for themselves, much less others.
Too true.
It's funny at my gym we have a couple veterans who served together in Iraq and they and a handful of others have put together a quite serious plan for what they do if it all comes apart. In their case they are afraid of an EMP or critical strike on our grid mostly. They have a rendezvous point at one of the guy's grandparents farm. They say it's easily defensible, could be modified to be self sustainable, and isolated enough that visitors would be minimal. They have bug out bags, supply checklist, etc...its a legit well thought out plan. A few weeks ago they approached me and were like "we'd like you and your wife to join us if things go bad. You're strong, good at building and a master gardener and your wife does canning and food preservation you'd be super valuable."
They said they would work with me on my shooting - I'm good with a bow but bad with a gun and the military skills needed. It was pretty interesting just how serious it is to them. One of the guys has been a friend of mine for over 10 years and is a super level headed dude but he is convinced it's only a matter of time at this point.
"Knowledge is power." And when the power's out, and the extent of your "knowledge" is based on looking things up online, rather than knowing/practicing yourself... you're stuck. Learn skills, do things with your hands, and have good dead tree references on hand as backup/to enhance what's stuffed in your noggin by the best teacher - experience.
So true! I'm a single mother but I print out books on how to trap/hunt/ dress animals ECT. I know I need knowledge more than the supplies that I have.
@MegaTeeruk that's really all military guys my dad was in for a while and where we used to live we owned a farm and he sat me and my brother one day and laid his entire plan down for if things went to shit at that time we were already pretty much self sustainable we had chickens cows goats pigs and a garden all of which we had built up in a way that we didn't need to buy anything to keep them going and we also had a creek that all it would take to be drinkable was to boil it and he told me and my brother that if shit hit the fan we would take turns sitting in the barn loft with guns and that anyone who showed up we were to tell to leave immediately and if they didn't comply he said that we were to dispatch them it may be harsh but it's a better them than us mentality that has gotten humans to the point they are now and if shit hits the fan it will still be that way
"Prepping" up until about 1993 was just called housekeeping.
If you know a prepper, they failed the first rule of prepping.
The entities behind the internet have billions of eyes everywhere - they know all the preppers
@@EdwardKnight-ll5ze I'm sure your right.
Libs in November 2020: “Finally, a return to normalcy!”
Libs now: “Welp, better prepare for the collapse of society. I wonder how that happened?”
What happened is that the USA is literally following the Nazi Germany historical track. Guy tried to execute a coup, failed, radicalized his cult followers, wasn't adequately punished for it, and now plans to try again. Please learn some history as to why people are concerned.
They were warnings of civil war in 2020 if Trump would win. It's all propaganda fear mongering bullshit. Of course you need to prep for blackouts, riots and such regardless who wins. But civil war? This is an information war. And as long as there are enough gullible fools willing to believe CNN and NY Times there will be.
It's an election year that's why. They want chaos to occur every election year.
😂😂😂😂😂
They’ll still vote for dems. They never learn.
It's also good because life happens. You might have a natural disaster, extended power outage, or even a job loss. If it happens, you will thank God that you have your preps.
Even a flashlight seems to be prepping these days. OMFG having extra batteries is extreme prepping, lol. You're a psycho if you have a pantry full of canned/jar food. Like back in the old days. Cracks me up...
@@WhyteHorse2023 me too.
@@WhyteHorse2023sorry bro keep a flashlight in every room of my house after losing power for a month after hurricane ian . I’m scarred ok 😂
You are right. Survival supplies are NOT just for the collapse of society.
I'm an emergency manager, and while some of these people go overboard, I can tell you that the more you prepare for a hazard event, the less first responders have to do if something happens. Please build preparedness kits, stock up on non-perishables, and plan for hazards in your area!
My grandfather wasn't necessarily a prepper but we were always stocked UP on food, toiletries, etc. his mother grew up during the depression. I never got to see her house but he told me after everything stabilized with the market again that she held on to everything. Didn't matter if it was expired, she kept it if she thought she needed it. As a result, he kept everything he knew we'd need. It was controlled hoarding, as he called it. I miss that man 🥺
I've been getting laughed at for 40 years for being prepped for two or three weeks without utilities after a hurricane passes.
Then came the 2020 TP shortage, and I was a hero for being able to give the lady next door a pack.
Fr. My mom has about 3 years of canned food and soap in her basement. She's figured she can have a good garden going by then
God bless you for that 🙏 . You will go to heaven for the small kind act .
As a Aussie u are a legend the tp shorted hit here hard 😂😂😂
I hope Brett is wrong about basically society turning into a free for all. It's a possibility but is it wrong that after society collapses people around you in the community who just went through everything you did may think it's a good idea to stay together and not be picked off one by one by humans or nature?
My wife once stated that if it hadn't been for the fact that we have always needed the things I prepared for, she would have thought I was paranoid - but everything has been needed at one time or another. Including a week or more without power. "Prepping" is preparing. Like canning your food for winter. Even a squirrel stores nuts.
People forget Uncle Sam is the biggest prepper of all. Bunkers & FEMA, ect...think about that one.
Scary thing is, no matter what you are, left or right, both sides will be fighting against each other during a societal collapse. Just the simple fact of the American consciousness.
I won't be fighting anyone with the good sense to stay off my land.
@@ericvulgate7091Won’t be your land in a societal collapse. All existing documents claiming it’s your land will be destroyed.
@@taoist32If you have the means to defend it, then it's still your land. This happen when the western Roman empire collapsed, and those with means kept what they had with force. This is how Feudalism started.
Lol it won’t be a fight. The Lina won’t stand a chance.
@@davidcosta2244 Of course, but one man against a horde of desperate people will run out of ammo.
I was raised by people that lived during the depression. They preached to us about simple things. Raise a garden have a few chickens simple just do what you can. Thanks for all your doing
And learn useful skills. That’s one I was always taught.
I was a "crazy prepper" until I wasn't the one trying desperately to find toilet paper a couple years ago...
“I will eat my neighbors” wow, what a way to start of a video Brett😂😂
Grim humor to set the mood.
@@Lonovavir Grim humor my butt. If you want to survive, sometimes you have to cross a line. Ask any of the crash survivors who ate their fellow passengers after they died. In some conditions,, without supplies, you really don't have a choice.
No, they’re becoming loot drops
Every time I hear about anti-gun preppers.
Yeah it makes me laugh, "Oo, clowns that will have stuff that's easy to take"
Erm every serious prepper I’ve met (with one exception) talks a lot about “community”. Family, friends, your neighborhood… you know, your community. However, giving food and supplies to strangers too selfish to look ahead 3 months is not on the agenda.
I been an altruistic player in survival games, that shit never ended well, i didn't get robbed on the spot, but they gained trust and than took over once i allowed them on my shelters, yall got me fucked up if you think i would do it in real life 😭
Honestly, it’s a real toss up. Game vs reality.
The woman saying she's prepping to help people in an apocalypse reminds me of the people who go to terrorist groups to try to prove they arent bad and end up dead or worse.
I hid some small stocks of food in places I see the homeless go. I won't be leaving my home and revealing that location to help people. I also know a lot about growing food and need my store of food to be able to grow next season instead of spreading myself so thin as to starve.
I don’t know if I’m a “prepper” but I am a firm believer in keeping extra things on hand. It helped when I lost my job and when there were shortages in the store. I was happy I didn’t have to worry about basic things.
I've never prepped, never had a major problem in 40 years, and I don't think I will for the next 40 either. All good. I'll be fine.
Same
Same. People are spending loads of money on overpriced prep meals. My pantry is loaded with extra rice, beans, powdered milk and powdered chick/beef stock. Things that can be used in regular life or a catastrophe and are super cheap.
In 1972, a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them....maybe you can hire The A-Team.
The greatest threat prepping prevents isn't starvation but panic. Everyone stay calm and remember the power does go out some times and a wood stove is a good investment especially with energy prices counting as an emergency these days.
Ever since I was a kid I thought the prepping stuff was honestly a good idea. But I also live somewhere where we already run out of supplies at the stores sometimes, God forbid if anything were to happen or go wrong with our infrastructure
Nothing wrong with prepping in its basic forms..like keeping stocks of food or first air supplies..when it gets into building bunkeers, 10s of thousands of rounds for 100s of guns...i think thats slipping into the mental illness realm lol
@@dirtdevil70Not necessarily. Anything can happen and if people can afford it, it doesn't seem like such a bad idea.
Prepling is good, if you prepare for the things that you should prep for.
Here in Europe, especially in the East side, like Hungary(the west side diviates from that really aggressively lately) we are mostly held together by morality history, etc. We had many "governmental collapse", and the life just goes on. On the other hand order in the US only exists, because peoples fear the law, and if that law doesn't exist... well... you will have things to prep for..
It’s like when a cheater gets angry thinking you’re cheating on them but it’s just them projecting. They are afraid of what the right will do to them because they know what can be done. They’ve already exhibited that.
I think it's just terrible that everyone fears the other side so much that we all collectively fear a civil war. I think we're all creating a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Being prepared is always the best way to go. Throughout history awful things have happened all the time. It would be silly to think that something like that won’t happen again. And if it doesn’t happen? Well then you at least took the precautions, and can share the food you have with others. Sometimes I think the people who make fun of those who prepare are like the grasshopper in that story with the ants who prepared for winter while the grasshopper was busy lounging around. Yeah. We’ve been told to prepare in even little children’s stories. Do you know why? Because people in the past who haven’t, ended up starving or dead. There’s some pretty dark stuff in history.
Despite this mentality, I do believe there is 1000000% hope. I have not lost faith.
You don't have to be one of these doomsday preppers expecting the end of the world to be ready for stuff to happen. A few months' worth of pantry foods, some propane and appliances for it, some way to purify water, and some blankets and sleeping bags would have really come in handy during the snowpocalypse a couple years ago. Better to have it and never end up needing it than to realize you don't have it when you need it.
On a similar note, you always need to keep a list of people you'd want to rebuild with in the back of your mind. Our society is still salvageable, but the chances of that happening sadly keep getting lower and lower. Don't lose hope that we can get through this ok, but be ready to have to restart from nothing after things fall apart.
Propane and propane accessories. Got it!
The icepocalypse that happened in TX was my pre-game. I learned what I needed that I didn't have, which wasn't much, but I was able to at least learn from it. I have no gas appliances, only electric, but I have a massive generator, so I could still power space heaters and things like that. I did get additional heaters after the freeze because the few I had just weren't enough. I have camp stoves and plenty of fuel, and some MRE type foods, plus a freezer stocked with cooked meals that I only have to heat up to eat.
It sucked when the pipes burst from the cold and I didn't know how to shut the water off...turns out my landlord allowed her handyman to sheetrock over the shutoff valves inside, but I learned how to shut it off at the street. And my landlord loved that I had a generator because I was able to immediately start cleaning up the water with my shop vac and carpet cleaner. Still had to have 3/4 of the house fixed (new walls, ceilings, floors) but the damage was able to be minimized because of the work I put in and the supplies I had.
I had to wash clothes by hand in the tub for about 2 weeks, which was awful, so now I have a mini washing machine that can handle several items of clothing and spins them almost dry and works with my generator, and I got a clothes drying rack too.
My family thinks I'm a little crazy, but none of them lost power and water for as long as I did (with kids and a partner who works in refineries and comes home filthy so doing the wash was extra hard) and I don't care who thinks I'm crazy, I'm happier being prepared, just in case.
"I'd rather have something and not need it then need something and not have it." -Doofenshmirtz
(I kid you not)😂
I also advocate for weapons and protective equipment to be stocked. And train with it regularly. Join a local gun club and be prepared for everything.
Exactly. I am not a doomsday prepper, but I am prepared. I have enough necessities, with the exception of water, to last years and I have enough water for months and the ability to purify more. Do I think we’re headed for a zombie apocalypse? No. But it is so convenient (and saves time and money) never to have to run to the store because I need something. Or having to go shopping during inclement weather or even when/if I just don’t feel like it. I use my back-ups and replace them during regular shopping and when they go on sale. It is really nice not to be inconvenienced or uncomfortable during a power outage, whether it’s for days or weeks due to a hurricane or just a few hours due to a storm. There are all sorts of reasons to be prepared.
I just pray that anyone going down the wise path of becoming more self sufficient can start to become wiser in other ways as well , such as their politics lol
One can only hope, however, these libs are mostly deranged.
Rupublicans are widely known as less intelligent. You're telling me you think you can be dumb in most ways with the exception of politics? That's funny.
I was at the Sugar Bowl the other day and some republican longhorn fans were sitting behind us. They couldn't keep track of how many yards were left in any given play. All you need to know is how to count to 10. The craziest part was they turned out to be teachers.
My family has been prepping food and water since I was a kid, we didn't start stocking things like toilet paper, paper towels, baby wipes, batteries, and first aid supplies until till the 90s when I pointed out how important those things really are. When the manufactured shortages started both my parents had already passed on and I had enough toilet paper to last me at least a year. I replenished what I used right after things started getting less crazy.
Mine is my Aunt Annie, she has been prepping and scared about it since 2000.
I have tacit plans to help my community if things go south. Mainly, knowledge. My collection of survival-oriented books (including those on basic crafting skills as well as first aid and herbal remedies- better than nothing in an emergency) is rather large. I care about the people around me and I'm not going to leave them high and dry when I could help them. They're decent folks. I want us to survive and thrive. My plans include community defense as well, in addition to childcare. When all the capable adults have to work, someone will need to watch the chillens. I'm physically disabled, but I am good with kids and have had success helping to homeschool my brother's kids. I'll not only keep the kiddos out of trouble, but make sure they are learning useful knowledge and useful skills all the while.
I think it's important for the survival of some kind of society that we are able to band together. People helping other people, rather than the government, is certainly a conservative value. I'm extremely conservative, so wanting to help your community isn't just a "liberal" thing.
Don't ever public identify as a prepper. First rule of prepping. "You are following F.E.M.A emergency guidelines for disaster preparedness" wink, wink
ok but why?
So people dont try to raid you@@Jfreek5050
@@Jfreek5050 The government has a rule called "redistribution" in times of need. They can confiscate it to "issue" out to others if they fell you have much more than they feel you need.

@@Jfreek5050when your neighbors run out where do you think they will go? To you if you announce it. When people are desperate they will do desperate things to get what they need to survive.
You know it’s kinda funny hearing about prepping. Growing up in rural America my family was always “prepping “ because a good storm, hurricane or tornado could knock out power, phones and such for weeks. So having fire arms for hunting dry stock foods canned foods,generators, distilled water, dryer meats and such was and is a common thing.
You had me at "the Libs". I enjoyed your video very much.
Regarding defensive weapons--the last time I was at the gynecologist office for my annual exam, the nurse was doing the usual "intrusive question list". Most of these questions are about the frequency/quality of physical relations, do you feel "safe" in your home, , etc.,... However THIS time, included on the list was this question; "Does your household contain rifles or handguns?"
"REALLY?!??".
I looked at her and told her slowly and clearly that she needed to mark my chart that I would no longer be answering personal, intrusive questions about my home and family. They could do their exam, send the samples in, and call me if there was a problem.
You know things are bad when you can't go into the gyno's office without the government gathering information on you there.
Slowly becoming more prepper every year since 2020. Might even start canning this year
Please do. It's an excellent skill to have. We had a quick dinner tonight of canned pork that I canned 2 years ago because I'm down sick. As it is fully cooked, I had pulled pork sandwiches on the table in 15 minutes. I opened a can of baked beans & made a quick slaw. Even if the world doesn't end, they come in handy for days like this. I buy the meat on sale and it's there. You can have a garden or buy veg on sale and can it easily. I was scared of pressure canning for a long time until I just did it. There are lots of UA-cam channels on it. It's #cannuary right now so it's a perfect time to check it out
Even if you don’t do it as a prepper, learning how to store foods and making wine is absolutely fun , so you win both ways
@@aronob agree
Definitely canning, mylaring dry goods, waxing hard cheeses, brewing wines (and vinegar for pickling veggies), don't forget pet foods and garden seeds.
If you have the heart for it, rabbits are great for meat and fertilizer, as well as dog food and treats.
Canning is fun! Plus so great for a quick, nutritious meal. I just made a big batch of yummy split pea soup, and most of it will be canned for winter meals. So satisfying to see sealed jars of good, homemade food lined up on the counter as they cool.
Just a friendly reminder: you own what you can defend. Everything else is a signature on a piece of paper.
Happy new year!
Yes during a SHF situation people will politely wait for you to give them food and water from someone who has it. Just like they waited in line and shared the Stanley cups.
I've started learning all I can about gardening from my dad. On top of that I'm also learning how to can things and how to make jellies and jams. These are skills I definitely will be teaching my children. Until recently I never realized how important they are to know.
Animal husbandry is a good thing to learn, as well. Gardening successfully isn't easy, let alone attempting to grow everything you and your family will need. Animals, in my opinion, are much easier. Of course, they require a degree of infrastructure and while having land is ideal, it isn't necessary: for example, quail and rabbits are two species that can easily be raised in an apartment, and they're quiet ;)
Haha I am Canadian, our Government doesn't allow us to prepare for anything, they want us entirely dependent on them and them alone.
How? I’m genuinely curious. Lack or guns, limited food?
UK prepper here, I have a peashooter and a can of beans so I got this covered.
Please keep on prepping on the left so that we on the right know where to come if we run short of anything.
😂 amazing
Exactly , if you're a non violent anti gun pacifist kind of prepper that just makes you a warehouse for people like me who own guns . if SHTF happens you won't be able to call 911 no one's gonna come to your rescue the cops and the soldiers are gonna lose the uniform and the badge and keep the gun for themselves when it comes to self preservation there are no rules .
I always think about prepping in a sense of if something were to happen i dont want to be out fighting someone who is just trying to feed their kids because i am also trying to feed mine. Every item i have prepped is one less taken from the store that someone else can have if everything goes to shit. And i prepare for my closest friends and their families (my family preps for themselves) because the items i save for them also leave more available for people who dont actively prepare. Im doubling my garden space this year and have been learning to preserve food and cook from scratch over the last 2 years. Got chickens last year as well.
I started prepping months ago and fell off around the holidays. This is my sign to get back to it. My bf and I live in a 1b1b apartment so there’s only so much we can fit but his parents let me keep stuff in their garage 😂 our lease is up in May and we’ll be moving in with them after. Saves money all around and being away from the big cities will give me more peace of mind. I’m 20-30 minutes outside ATL and surrounded by suburban cities, and I know if things go down big cities are going to be dangerous. His parents live out in the country which I know could still be gov monitored but at least if individual people try to come it would take a lot of effort to get there.
Its gonna get real real bad.. i wish we could fix this but its gone to deep.
Trumps got this. We’ll be fine
@@bj_ohnsonI hope trump wins with Biden it’s been a struggle
@@bj_ohnson If Trump wins, the left will burn everything down. We are fucked either way.
@@bj_ohnsonproblem is that either trump ends up in office where the dems will say illegitimate due to “insurection” or Biden gets in because of trump being removed or through disenfranchisement. Either way you are probably going to have riots but more likely from the left. Prep regardless knowing that s is definitely hitting the fan.
Hey if we have 4 more years of this I as a 14 year old think the us is gonna turn to hell on earth as we watch our country get over paced by china and beaten by weak leadership
I have always been, "that uncle" 😄
BUT recently, my friends and family have started talking to me about certain tools and preferred calibers associated with such tools... about "camping gear" and other outdoor equipment .
Lol camping equipment🙃
I've been passively preppin' since 2020. With the current state of affairs, it's better to be prepared than not IMO.
I think an emphasis on community is VERY important to prepping. Trusted friends and family should be involved. Maybe even other preppers you may know.
I feel the same but what they consider community is everyone and when it comes down to survival you physically cannot help everyone your better off to have a select few people who are all going to help eachother
Learn skills like gardening, food preservation, making fire, cooking outdoors, self and home defense, among others. You should also know how to get and purify water. Rotate your preps. Only prep food that you are willing to eat. Above all, know how to store your food & water to protect it from insects, spoilage, and rodents. Don't tell anyone about what you have.
I used to be a prepper, or a "doomer" as some like to call us. Got started in the early 80s, and finally stopped in 2010. Not because I stopped believing the world was turning to chit in sooooo many ways, but because I became reliant on the medical system. No point in it if you can't survive without meds. That said I still support my friends who want advice, and do keep certain gear/resources on hand. But the idea of evacing to places far from the chaos is no longer a viable plan. Btw if you are near either ocean, a doomer boat is the best. Great idea to be 20 miles off shore while the shore burns.
But have you seen Fear the Walking Dead? 😁
So you wasted a whole bunch of money for nothing on prepping. 👍👍
@@CheerfullyCynical829Do you think they just threw everything away? If they used what they bought I wouldn't consider it wasted money...
@@nichts-8yearsago Preppers only USE the emergency stuff they buy in the event of a major disaster, where electricity, food and water is unobtainable for days and weeks. Doesn't sound like OP ever had to experience such a thing in his life. Hence, WASTED money. That stuff is just sitting there.
@@CheerfullyCynical829 My choice isn't it? Let us know how it works out for ya WHEN the wheels come off. I expect I'll be dead by then or shortly thereafter, but you'll be crying "why isn't the government saving my sorry butt???"
I used to think that people who wore the tinfoil hats were crazy but recently i saw that you should wrap your electronic key fab in it to prevent thieves from stealing its signature. If the government did plant a chip in you and was watching you via satellite, an aluminum hat might actually help. .
I graduated same year as 9/eleven.
My generation has lived entire adult life, knowing, government does not have our best interests in mind. We now have kids and passing our wisdom along. Been "prepping" (gaining independence) ever since 🤔
Remember folks, prepping for your eternal retirement plan is always more important than focusing on your worldly one.
Jesus saves, politicians withdraw.
🙄
Well said, even though someone will roll their eyes. Preparing your soul for the second coming of Jesus Christ is the best way to "prep".
@@williambenner701 Agreed eternal retirement is first but us decent people need to be here as long as we can to hopefully change something
@@pawel6789 - Wow, that's a really cool statement, seriously! You made my soul smile. :)
i was in a Uni class, for...global catastrophism...and the main water line broke in the city. No water for a week, and then boiling it for several more. I continued to be clean and bring bottled water to every class and...was mocked for *being prepared*
Started prepping back in 2019. The quarantines went by without much trouble. No panic buying. It’s a good hobby. Teaches a lot of discipline and to plan ahead of potential bad scenarios. 😊
People dont get that doomsday is for the rest of their life. You cant store a life times worth of food. You cant grow your food. You have other people to worry about stealing your food. Sure you may a gun but youre no match for an armed group. People watch too many movies and play too many games thinking You cant prepare for a collapse. You’re going to lose people. People you love. Families are so spread out you will lose communication and never know what happened to distant family. You have to deal with lawlessness. I think many people will end their own life unable to cope.
The reason that demo is experiencing such a surge in prepping over us older folks ( gen X for me )…… is because we already did in 2008 when the real estate crash happened.
The reason these young kids are outspending us older ones is because we older preppers already have a lot of stuff on hand. ;-)
Remember for Y2K when a brick of 22lr was 8bux a chocolate bar was .50, and an ounce of gold under 3 bills. The market has changed dramatically in two decades. So just remember the gold part and it's buying power has really changed the rate of it all. Even where I was then you could buy 5 loaves of American "bread" for .99 now a loaf is about 3 dollars. Stock up but don't hoard
Omg Brett is engaged!!! Congrats girlie!! Sorry if I'm the last to know lol but I'm still happy for you lol My husband and I are at the same age as you, we got married right out of high school and now we have 2 lovely boys. Getting married young is so incredible, because you get to spend your whole life with your person 🥰
We definitely prep, but it’s mostly because we’re originally from PR and things get nasty after a hurricane. So we’ve always had a bulk supply of stuff, came in handy when the Rona was making active rounds. My family was without power in PR for three months, after Hurricane Maria.
Fun fact: people are so bored now that they’re trying to cancel Santa because it’s “traumatizing kids” because their parents lied to them
We finna get sent to war in like 6 months. They’re not gonna be bored soon 🤦♂️
Every once and a while c hi n a tries to cancel Christmas. That was reflected in companies e S g style ads this year. There was a bunch of anti-Christmas stuff
@@VehementFacts Yeah, it's strange how none of us who believed in Santa as a kid are traumatized. Most of us turned around and played Santa for our kids because we know the pure and innocent joy of believing as a young one. Most kids start to figure it out themselves anyway, so it's not a huge blow when we verify what they already suspected. I was recently dating a woman who treated her young children like adults all their lives. She told me Santa was "stupid as shit, what idiot would believe a fat man came down their chimney to give them presents. She never had that, why should they? I tell them Christmas is about the birth of Jesus". Of course I responded, "So Santa is stupid and non-believable, but it's true and perfectly believable to tell your children that you celebrate the birthday of a man born to a virgin, walked on water, rose from the dead, etc. etc. 2,000 years ago who wasn't born anywhere near Dec 25th and you're telling them that is his birthday when we KNOW it's not? That's much better? They're both innocent lies". My personal beliefs aside, I was making a point that she didn't appreciate LOL.
@@Swearengen1980 "My personal beliefs aside"? Um, no they weren't "aside", they were front and center, as you intended.
@@PruneHub Sorry sport, but no. I'm a rational, logical person and have faith. I get it, you're literalist who thinks every word in the Bible is absolute fact. I see it not as fact, but purely as a matter of faith because it can't be proven and defies all logic, physics, rationale, etc. And that's perfectly ok. Sorry you're so arrogant and a judgmental self righteous Christian that you're thinking is no different than an emotional, reactionary liberal who can't think or be objective without emotional conflict. I, however, can.
I'm a survival instructor, so trust me when i say that buying preps is just a fraction of the battle. You need to be educated and trained on how to most effectively protect and use your preps as well. Most people think it's just buying ammo and freeze dried food, and they completely neglect things like medical supplies and training, comms, etc. Read books, watch videos from educated people, go take classes, and build a network of like minded people who will have your back. Trying to do the "lone wolf" thing is just a slower way to lose everything. Stay safe out there y'all.
This encouraged me even more to get into learning simple surgical stitches even though im very squeamish. You never know what can happen. Buying a silicone pad as soon as I can
You know it's super interesting how that article said libertarian extremists. Prepping always has been and will be a right wing thing. All the prepper youtubers are right wing, all the types of guys that follow that entire genre are right wing and yet they say libertarians. Seems like they don't want people contributing anything good to the right. If they said it was right wing they'd have to admit the right was correct and smart in doing so AND they don't want leftists seeing this and going "hey maybe these folks aren't that bad" and switching sides. That article was super telling.
Brett: every family has that one preppper
Me: Well of course I know him, he's me.
I'm offended because this comment describes me.
Honestly, it's just good practice in general to have some emergency supplies ready. I personally have done this for years, and I've needed to draw on them. I was greatful I had emergency supplies during a major flood, a huge wind storm that knocked out our power for a week, I got lucky with this one, but I got a big costco pack of TP in early February 2020 (not panic or prep buying, COVID wasn't even on my radar, I just needed some TP and a family member took me on a Costco run), and boy did that come in handy. Even just some back up food for when we had an unexpected expence and couldn't afford groceries till the next paycheck. It's just smart to be prepared.
"I'll be out in the streets making sure everyone has what they need" is a weird way of saying "getting robbed first"
I'm Mormon, so we've been doing this as a huge part of our culture for like a hundred years.
Hey i got some stones in a hat… wanna see?
To me prepping for an unknown economic or social disaster is the same as buying insurance for an unknown medical problem. Doesn’t mean its coming but it might. Also I’m a lib, and been prepping for years. Also own guns, what a shock!
I watched Doomsday Preppers for background noise. I would like to have a follow-up with everyone who predicted a pandemic.
When I was little I thought prepping for stuff was insane I thought that it was just for the possibility of a zombie apocalypse but the older I get and the clearer my view gets on the world I see that it most definitely is not just for a zombie apocalypse and simply just for the fact that our society is falling to the ground as we speak. I look up to Brett so much I’m a young teen and it’s nice to know someone in my generation actually has their head in their shoulders. I love hearing her views on things and it keeps me from falling down the rabbit hole of my generation. In listening to the daily wire I have grown my own values and found the importance of learning about the government and keeping up with politics. So thanks Brett for giving our generation some clarity.
My most favorite prepper is the prepared homestead with Travis him and his wife are amazing people
Don’t stock up on stuff! Stock up on skills!!!
Learn how to shoot
Learn how to grow
Learn how to stay warm/cool
Learn how to fix things
Learn how to sew
SKILLS, SKILLS, SKILLS!
Don't forget prepping your city and state is just as important as prepping yourself.
Brett, your family is intelligent for preparing. Whether the world ends or not, societal collapse is evident. The fact that you don't regard yourself in the same category as your family despite telling news of some of that collapse is kind of daunting.
American society has already collapsed IMO, but luckily it hasn't prevented me from getting on with my life, career etc. Society doesn't care about you, so don't care about it. Your life should be all that matters to you (and your spouse and kids if you have them)
I've spent years trying to convince friends and family to get better prepared, and most of them still don't have more than a two week supply. Heck, some of the worst ones are the liberal family members who live in somewhat disaster-prone areas. They're seemingly under the impression that if it gets so bad that it requires more than a week's worth of supplies, then some agency or organization will just step up to help them.
Worst of all, though, are the family who half-jokingly say, "I'll just come over to your place!"
Bruh. Even if you're someone I'd be more than willing and able to take on, good luck with that. I live in a rural ranching region set high up in the mountains. The moment that things started to get weird in 2020, there were old boys here getting way serious. There were pretty open community discussions of how and when to block roads, as well as which cabins were owned by out of towners, if you get my drift. I don't care who you are or who you're related to, if you're not already a full-fledged member of a rural community, you're better off laying low in the city, at least for a good long while. And unless you have the supplies to get through that initial wave while laying low, you're completely out of luck. Why anyone thinks they'll be able to just run off to a "safe" area is beyond me.
Honestly, it's just frustrating trying to talk to friends and family about preparedness at this point. If they don't get it post '20, they likely never will.
Oh well. More beans for me, I guess.
A lot of preppers focus on beans and bullets and not on independent resupply. In my opinion, if society were to truly collapse, these preppers wouldn't last because of their supply caches, but because of other valuable skills that contributed to the new societies and/or by becoming gangs and terrorizing other people who had the resupply but lacked the other skills.
You definitely don't want to be in an urban area like London when it happens. Its basically already fairly lawless with open robbery in shops. Looting also soon as there is any kind of civil disturbance. Notably quite similar to large cities in the USA.
Agreed. Stock up on some stuff but really focus on survival skills… a pile of food will only last so long. Plus, you need to leave your home which is likely, you can’t carry all that crap unless you have a caravan.
Gardening, hunting, shelter, and even sewing, people!
I can fix almost anything so i have some skills most people would need. I think i'm good whatever happens
@@miriamortega3400 Unfortunately, I live in the UK and we import 50% of our food. Like most modern societies, our stock of food in supermarkets is equal to one day consumption and one day on the road in trucks, everything else is in a field or on a ship. After a week there is no food other than what is in our cupboards.
My plan for when shit hits the fan is to take myself family and a couple buddies out to the middle of nowhere (I've already got a spot in mind) and start a garden and a small far and there will be a 24 hour armed watch on the area anyone who attempts to enter will be told to leave at gun point unless it is proven that they have a skill that we could use I know it sounds harsh but in that scenario I don't want extra mouths to feed unless they can provide something that I cannot provide myself and there really isn't anything that I cannot provide for myself I know how to fish hunt get drinking water from wild sources and I also know how to grow my own food and raise animals and I can also build any structure that could be needed
Everyone should read "One Second After" - if that doesn't make you do at least a little bit of a prepper...nothing will.
Write notes in it, if you have a physical copy, as thoughts & ideas come to mind. Make it a reference/resource book. Also, it's a trilogy, & the first 2 books are avail on YT as audiobooks.
American politics really is just that meme where two spiderman point at each other
It's a pretty dire sign when even the liberals are now prepping
Mixed bag, as so many of their policies are why others have been prepping, but also good because their preps will hopefully keep them off the porch of those who started long before.
3:51 Yeah, having experienced Maria certainly allowed me to understand the need to prep. A lot of Puertorricans understand that we have a high possibility of hurricanes within a specific season and I now believe we simply need to prepare better.
Though it’s really hard to have some things shipped to PR for prepping. 😅 Like I can’t have a dehydrator, portable charges, or things like solar powered tools shipped directly to PR from Amazon for example. 😅
That's awful! I'm sorry that you can't get the tools you need. I know that it will cost more, do you have a person that you trust on the mainland that you can ship things to who can then ship it to you?
@@lisapop5219 we hope, she will get an apartment this year which would help her and her daughters but I also would like to wait for her to be in a better situation at the moment
You are a beautiful soul for spreading knowledge. So grateful to hear I'm not the only one under 30 loading up and heading to buy land and homestead for my little family's wellbeing and happiness durring this madness.
Brett and Team: Thank you for all you do. ❤
I know that as a Christian in do not have to worry about the apocalypse but I do think it’s important to be prepared for things such as war or something like an emp
sadly i do not think a civil war is likley
sadly?😐 @@bludeuce3855
Agreed
Imagine Hangin' Out With Your Friends Watchin' TV, And You See The Words "SOCIETY HAS FALLEN" On The Screen
I’m in a state of mind where if I’m just trying to survive let alone deal with prepping for the inevitable. I’ve always known from a very young age that the world is going to go into absolute chaos in my lifetime. I’ve been through a lot so right now I’m just trying to survive I don’t care enough about politics I care about surviving just day to day. I don’t think prepping is going to help it’s a mindset of you have to survive if you’re always scared and fighting about things they are going to continue to pin us against each other. Instead of fighting with each other we need to fight against this very corrupt society
"Prepping" is one thing. It's always good to prepare for things to go south, even if "going south" means you lose your job for a while. I bought a 30-day emergency food supply a couple years ago and my wife and I might have to dig into it over the next couple months merely because I've been unemployed since end of November. So that emergency food supply can help offset the cost of food for us. But I also made sure to spend the last few years building a savings - plus I got a severance when I was laid off - so we're not screwed right now. Plus I have some gold in the safe as well that I can sell if it comes to that to make a mortgage payment or two. (I have a car loan I'll be negotiating with the bank on, but I'll be doing my damnedest to avoid any kind of deferral on the mortgage since that interest and escrow liability adds. up. fast!)
Paranoia is what is in a lot of people's minds. A lot of people on the left have manufactured so many doomsday scenarios in their head, none of which have come to pass. I mean they spent all of 2016 convincing themselves he was Hitler and Mussolini reincarnated into one body. And they've largely renewed that for 2024. And a lot of people have similarly had doomsday scenarios for a Democrat takeover that sound more like they're coming from the mind of someone hopped up on too many... mind-altering substances.
So everyone definitely should be "prepping" to some degree. Get some savings together - including physical gold and silver - along with an emergency food store, rechargeable batteries, a generator that runs off propane since that keeps longer than gasoline. But keep a rational head on your shoulders as you go about it and avoid falling into the pits of despair filled with the paranoid delusions.
Loved the Alex jones to start lol 😂
I do fully agree that those who are able to prep should do so, so the government can focus aid on those who can't
I watched what was happening in China before we were shut down here for covid. Issues overseas were going to come to the US. So I stocked up on food, household goods, water, and some other items. Then, when the shortages hit and supply chains were impacted, I was able to help others on certain supplies. Whoever knew TP would be a favorite welcome to the neighborhood gift? Never ever hurts to have some emergency supplies.
Brett: Let’s all go outside and touch some grass.
Me living in South Dakota: It’s gonna be hard to find grass under all this snow…😐
We have life insurance, health insurance, home owners insurance, and car insurance. Do you have food insurance, energy insurance, tech insurance, personal defense insurance, water insurance?
I'm not a doomsday prepper but I believe in and livea life of preparedness. It's not just amassing and hoarding supplies but about cultivating skills to grow and preserve food, using hand tools without power, sourcing and filtering water, and tending fires for cooking and winter warmth.
I love that when I watch Bret's videos it feels like I am right there with her.
We don't need to believe the world will end to be prepared.
As a gen Z Polish woman I've been scared of bad events since I was 18. My family takes me as a crazy conspiracy theorist (they're not wrong...) and this year, some days ago, my psychiatrist told me that me preparing for such event is REASONABLE. I really don't care how "crazy" I might appear, if there's nothing to worry about at least I will have a cool bunker for younger generators to fixate over this as I once did 🙂
Yep, definitely take care of your dogs. They are the best early warning system that you can ever have. Care for your neighbors, care for your friends. But make sure you can care for yourself.😊😊
