- The collapse of society is coming. It’s inevitable. That is at least if you’ve read all the headlines about climate change, war, insurrection, nuclear tensions, the dying oceans, falling sperm counts. It’s a lot to handle. Zeke Spector travels to the Ozarks to meet with a religious community of doomsday preppers to see what it takes not to be afraid of the world.

I liked the quote "I'm not living for doomsday, I'm living for Tuesday." I think it's a much more positive outlook. Doomsday preppers are always seeming represented as these crazed loons who wish for armageddon and hate society and all that it stands for, but clearly, that is not true. They are just prepared and don't want to be caught out in the open with their pants down. I can respect that. I think when they start disassociating from society, hauled up in some bunker, thinking crazy thoughts, and being a shut-in, that is when it turns unhealthy. This approach however is a good one.
Why do you care what they do with their own life? Their decisions won't affect you at all. Who are you to judge them as crazy or unhealthy? I am glad about the rest of your thoughts on the subject though.
@@commonsence8223 I care because it's very sad to me that people would rather choose to withdraw completely from living. You are right, it doesn't affect me, but I think that it's sad when they go too far and turn down friends, family, jobs, all for the sake of some mystical apocalypse happening sometime in the future. It's no way to really live
@@colechapman6976 yes, but you don't control thier choices. For them, it's not sad. They have the freedom to choose and you should respect it and not worry about it.
@@colechapman6976 'it's very sad to me that people would rather choose to withdraw completely from living', there is also other kind of people that completely detach from reality to cater their delusions, and they are becoming more of a threat to society than these guys
I believe some preppers are really as crazed and focused on the "inevitable" downfall of society in our lifetime. This group isn't, and I agree this just seems like a way to live that they can enjoy today and also be ready. I mean this guy is still buying mutual funds lol. He's prepared for anything. But I don't think they are the overwhelming majority of what is seen as a "doomsday prepper".
Thank you for being fair with Pastor Joe and TJ Morris and NOT butchering their lifestyle in the editing room.
Salt of the Earth people. Great work. 🙏👍🇺🇸
"It is not physically possible for the government to take care of everybody on a large scale crisis" Hard fucking facts. No blame. No ridicule. All personal responsibility. Respect.
The government as we know it right now isn't interested in taking care of the people anyways.
They want power and control
@@rosssivertson6339 You've missed the point. We all know what you just said,
That is true to an extent as the further away you are from a military base during a SHTF situation the less likely you are to receive any form of help. The trade off for that help is effectively marshal law as the military which needs resources as well will move out into the surrounding areas to control said resources. And will provide security on a broader scale but still you would be giving up many freedoms for that security.
The reality is that the military represents at most 1% of the population. Law enforcement will also try to maintain some level of security but it would be very localized. So yeah the government can't protect you as an individual and won't bother to try.
Sometimes crisis comes from dysfunctional community that starts to panic buy. The local market near me run out of toilet papers, rice and flour in less than a day for months. Because people simply bought and stored things for no fucking reason.

Over the years we have compiled a large collection of first aid supplies and flashlights. Last weekend we sorted through it all and ended up with 2 large tubs of supplies of just those 2 things. It's a great feeling knowing we have all of it and in one location. Great video.
This documentary was really well done. I've met Pastor Joe Fox in person and while I do not agree with certain of his religious views, he is a really great guy who anyone can learn a lot from. Also, Zeke was professional, kind, courteous, and friendly, and went in with a genuinely open mind. Great job Vice on sending the right person out there to film this short documentary.
Everytime I watch a prepper mini doc it seems like the interviewer always tried to play them as “crazies” but this guy did a great job of not being 1 sided. I enjoyed this
Im marking it as a change of times. Vice (and others) mocked preppers forever but slowly thats been back pedaling

@@zacharysmith4787
Make no mistake, these people prep because they enjoy doing it and made it a part of their identity. They will never actually have to use any of it because if they honestly believe they will use it, then they are crazy.
Seems like a reasonable man to me. “Should you buy mutual funds or beans and rice…Yes, you should do both.” Nothing wrong with preparedness and I kinda like the idea of being self sufficient.
Agree. It seems to me that they are more concerned about being self reliant... and that the preparedness is just a byproduct of that.
@@OldSaltyBear Gotta agree it seems they’re really just definition being prepared, and taking action for general survival needs.
@@JerHetrick Nothing is nowadays, but prepping can be if you are smart about it.

@@I_dont_want_an_at exactly
I live in the Ozarks and outside of any city/town 10k>, basically everyone is a "prepper" as a matter of a way of life because living off the land is what we do and we generally enjoy it. We don;t look at ourselves as "preppers" per se. Just like alot of big city folks can't fathom why anyone would want to live this lifestyle, we can't fathom why anyone would want to live in a big city (but alot could live in a big city if we wanted to tomorrow, but i don't think you could say the same thing about the opposite). And although we like to think of ourselves as independent, the fact is we have to rely on those around us sometimes w no "strings attached", so there is a strong sense of community that seems to bind people closer here than say in a large metro area. We all know our neighbors and our neighbor's neighbor like family (even though we don't always get along all the time). If one really wants to see and learn how to be self prepared, just spend some time w the Amish or Native Americans who were taught by their ancestors.

"People in the year 1000 thought the world was ending, people who lived through the plague thought the world was ending- I think it's more relevant to your life to look at what could be a natural disaster for *you*." Very level headed advice, love it.
Yeah that’s the first time I’ve heard someone from this sort of group say something they made me go ‘damn that’s a good, reasoned argument’
She was the one with the most wisdom I thought and was a good educator too. I started prepping & moving towards self sufficiency when I was 25 after breaking my legs in a car accident and being out of work for a year. Later on when my husband was injured in the military and required round the clock medical care I didn’t have to stress about finances, food and I could spend that time with him helping him heal.
@@TheSlizzer348 What about "I'm not living for doomsday I'm living for Tuesday"
People in Ukraine found their world ending when the Germans arrived, AFTER the genocidal actions of Stalin. At a regional level, "worlds" end.
People are more concerned of "todays world" ending. Like how it took 300 years for the world to begin to unfuck itself after the bronze age collapse and after every empire collapse that happens rather commonly throughout history. Basically people want their family's to not suffer as much as the last group of people had to in hard times.
Followed Paster Joe for many years VERY MUCH enjoy his outlook on life. All the love to everyone and cheers to you for posting this video.
This was actually a very respectful portrayal of prepping. Hats off to Vice in this case. Also, Joe seems like really solid guy.
Cheers from Sweden
Zeke Spector was great and asked all the questions I would have wanted to ask. Really interesting piece of film.

Hopefully this young man keeps it up he did a great job it's nice to see young people especially from the inner city be polite and respectful and show things in an honest light and didn't spin it that is very rare these days
Actually a prepper running a business that sells survival supplies is a great idea, because at any given time you'll have a massive stock of that kind of supplies. And instead of spending money maintaining and replacing that stock, you're making money rotating it out. The people running the first aid kit supplier have a mutual support agreement with the group selling shelf-stable rations, and with the hand tool suppliers, and with the ammo distributor, etc. That alone, the array of businesses and the social network among them, means very little extra effort in "prepping" required.
But also you're recognized for having everything you... And not saying where you are isn't enough nowadays - image tracing will expose exactly where they are, who they are... Today I pumped in a video where they showed they can find a person just by a parcial photo of your hand... By veins, etc. If one wants to be anonymous it's really hard to be in a public position. Everyone who knows about you and your activity might be a traitor - enemy.
The businesses and social network will help for bartering, but in an actual SHTF situation, money, as we know it, will likely be worthless.
@@cheebacheeo5876 Will you provide a link to this video please? I'm not sure how this could be possible since there is no national database of vein formations on people's hands. Furthermore, in an actual SHTF situation, the possibility exists the Internet will not be a usable asset. I don't think you'll see very much image tracing if no one can get online.
I thought the same thing when I watched an episode of warrior poet society when they were interviewing a guy who sells pepper food buckets. Very smart.
@@spacetimeworm What I meant was that their little group is prepared as a side effect of their business activities. And after a disaster they can continue to help each other. I didn't mean they would continue their business as usual.
It's very odd that alot of special forces guys turn preppers after they see the inner workings of our wonderful government 😒🤔
They realize how easily things can fall apart and how inept government is at stepping in.
Not odd. More people should take a lesson from this. when someone who has seen the worst parts of the word, how fast societies change and crumble say "this can, and probably will, happen to us." Maybe we should listen.
Do you think those guys are actually seeing the inner workings or just a very unique perspective. Like in my understanding this trend makes all sorts of sense when you think about the lived experiences these guys would have had but that doesn't necessarily mean their conclusion can be taken as a matter of fact. Right like terrorists also view the world in hostile and threatening lenses which is what leads to delusions like caliphates. Doesn't discount their experiences but of course their conclusions will always be touched by these delusions
Its not just in America. In Europe, you will find many former military personnel moving off the grid or to remote locations. History repeats itself and so its easy enough to prepare if you have the correct mindset. You can have all the tactical gear in the world, tons of firearms and still not survive. Being prepared is first and foremost a mindset. Its not just Special Forces that are turning to being prepared, if you have traveled around the world with an open mind, you will see the value in being prepared.
Excellent observation.
In a major crisis one would be grateful to have these people as neighbors

I love this Vice! The reporter wasn't condescending, it was very balanced. They're the sane preppers we don't have to worry about. They're just normal folks who want to be self sufficient, which isn't crazy. The 2nd group was more extreme but they're younger, age really does help with wisdom
Couldn't have said it better 👏
How is the second group more extreme?
Bear definitely isn’t extreme your mindset is just weak.
So your judgement is based on "their younger"?
@@xelario I should have used intense instead of extreme. They definitely weren't what we think of as super preppers or anything. I was pleasantly surprised with the reporting and the subjects.
My parents never grew a single edible thing until they got old, and my father grew tomatoes in a 4x6 space. When I was a small boy, we always had enough food, but the compromise was in the quality. Mom and Dad had 6 kids total, the last one after the two oldest were already gone from home, otherwise, the compromises would have been harmful. I grew up on corn flakes and hotdogs. In my time I have taught myself how to effectively grow enough food for my family to survive with no income, if necessary. I realized that I could never stockpile enough canned goods and flour to survive more than a few months. Do the math. If I have to feed myself, my wife,our 4 children and their families, I would need thousands of cans of food and 1500 lbs of flour, just to make it through one winter. We learned how to preserve meat, and vegetables for long term storage, and we learned how to grow high value food crops that can sustain us for the 6 months of the year, when nothing edible is available on the ground. Preparing to protect what we have is a secondary function,but one that we take seriously. No, we are not moving up to the mountains, and we are not getting ready for Jesus. We are preparing to have as normal a life as possible, until society recovers and the grocery stores reopen. Off-grid will not be a choice people make when the grid fails. I can generate electricity from burning wood. I can heat my home with wood. I can get water from a well, and hunt the small game that is abundant where I am, and I am not way out in fly-over country. You would be surprised how much living one can extract from a few acres, and the adjacent woods. We're not preppers. We are just capable of making our own food, if need be.
I wholly enjoyed the video.

I hate to criticize other men. We get a bad enough rap as it is, especially those of us that are older. But, some things need to be pointed out. I see this in countless prepping videos and that is of a person being out of good physcal shape. Pastor Fox is a good example of what I am saying. Don't get me wrong, I follow his channel and he has a lot of very admirable qualities, but being in good physical shape when preparing for whats on the other side of what we have now, is one of the most mandatory things a prepper can do. I understand that the man is a former Green Beret, but I think that we can all admit that Pastor Joe is not in the physical shape that even he would admit that he needs to be. I get it. We are all busy and all making the preps we think are necessary all while living life and the trials that may bring.
I am of similar age to Pastor Joe and know all too well how difficult it is to stay in shape when of advanced age. Age should never be an excuse though. If you cannot run up a series of hills, or trek several miles in difficult terrain, then you are ineffective to those around you. We older guys lose hormones that the younger set take for granted and that makes getting in and staying in shape that much more difficult, but it should never be an excuse to not strive to be in the best shape possible. I am not trying to shame Pastor Joe Fox. He has a lot of really good ideas and his heart is most definitely in the right place and he is obviously one tough man.
This is all just food for thought for all the preppers out there. Do your preps, learn necessary skills, stockpile what you think you need, but get in the best physical shape that you can regardless of the difficulty. You will be that much better prepared for what is to come. I hope that you all will take this in the spirit that was intended and I am not trying to step on anyone's toes. Just add being in good shape as one of the cornerstones of your life.
Its a business for him, first and foremost. Its all a grift. He thinks chaos may come, he may even have faith it will, but until then, its about $$$$$.

"So, y'all chose homesteading?"
"As opposed to what, exactly?"
This was by far the best story I think Vice has covered. She'd a little light on some decent people that are sometimes misunderstood. In today's day and age if someone can't relate to being prepared to some level or degree than maybe they should be. These seem like great people in a great community with a positive vibe. They just wanna live their lives by what they think God would want and they don't at all seem like they are out to hurt anyone that's for sure. The more I learn about this community it seems to me they want to help other's. Being a little more self sufficient in times where society is so dependent on the system seems like something we could all use more of. And these people are more than willing to share their knowledge and what works for them. Ofcourse we are all different but I'm grateful there are still people out there that offer advice just because it's the decent thing to do.

Great minidoc, nice people, great presenter with a respectful approach. Sucks to see that some people are still lumping these guys in with the insanos who actually WANT the world to end. These folks are trying to be self-sufficient, skilled with both firearms and first aid, and even then, aren't so completely detached from the rest of the world that they still do things on the internet and hell, even have hobbies like music for that dude who plays the drums. Even the religious aspect isn't that much different from most other people who practice whichever faith they've got. Best case scenario, these folks are living humble lives in their communities and aren't bothering anyone. Absolute worst case scenario, fuckin' WWIII starts, and they'll at least be ready and not go cold or hungry, and from the looks of it, they've situated themselves in a place that's not strategically important. Completely unlikely on that second one, but I don't see anything wrong being ready for it anyway if it's not taking away from how you're living for today.
We our group has had to weed few preppers out of our fold as not everyone fits in. There were various reasons for our group to ask people to stay away. But one common denominator was...the one's that said they were relying on Jesus for protection, and they had nothing to worry about after that. Here is what we didn't like, they told us straight out they weren't relying on others (our group) for personal safety, and we don't need a guy/gal confused because their Saviour failed them in a tight situation. Ask a Jewish person if Jesus was around when he allowed 3 million of his "chosen one's" to be murdered in WW2
Wow. I learned a lot from this. They are right about the government’s inability to totally protect us from disasters.
Government creates disasters

You enjoy seeing gun loving trump cultists preparing for something that will never happen?
@@dystopiaisutopia Well you did. You cared enough to read it and even decided to spend your time commenting on it.....🙄
@@ricky7973 Orange man was bad, but your current mumbling potatohead is even worse. He cant even climb a couple of stairs if there is a breeze.....
He got a good training on using tourniquet. Carry arm and know how to first aid: know how to shoot and know how to save. These are people that prepare for anything.
Something people get wrong about preppers is that they are convinced and or ready for a literal end of the world scenario like nuclear armageddon or a cataclysmic natural disaster like a meteor strike. You don't want to survive those types of events. If anything, you wanna be at the epicenter so your death is quick and painless.
In reality, most preppers are concerned with things like food shortages, chemical pollution, common natural disasters like hurricanes and blizzards, crime, or political instability. I think the most likely worst case scenario for modern society would be an EMP attack. Even if only one powerful nation was EMP'd, the consequences would ripple down to the rest of the world. Whether it's China, the USA, Western Europe, India, Japan, doesn't matter. The economic effect would be devastating worldwide, food chains would collapse, and other goods would stop being exported from the victim(s). No electricity would mean millions would die of heat, cold, or disease.
The 2nd most likely SHTF scenario would be political instability. This could come as the form of government tyranny and martial law, or it could come from political division causing armed conflict between extremists, and possibly a civil war/revolution or political domestic terrorism.
The chances of these things happening are lower than the news makes it seem, but it's still not impossible, and certainly more likely than a meteor impact or an alien invasion, so they make the most sense to prep for, as they are the most realistic worst case threats to society today. And the good news, as long as nukes, chemical weapons, and WMD's don't get released, these situations will still be survivable and relative normalcy will return in a somewhat short time frame. Could take 5 or even 10 years, but it's doable.
Wow, this is the VICE that I remember and really enjoyed. Just an honest look at andifferent way of life. Didnt glorify prepping or demonize it. Just got a good look at something different. Well done Zake!!
Congrats you are the latest of 100 millionth comments in the comment section who complimented vice and told us this is the good old vice you used to watch🤓

@@BrightLit712 Oh, okay. I misinterpreted it.

First thank you for giving a fair showing of things , I have never met Pastor Joe Fox . But as a Militia member in Missouri he is well known . As for those of you living some where else . Please prepare for what ever may come that YOU feel in your heart is needed . I hope nothing ever comes of things . But its better to be prepared than standing begging in a GOVT. line for food . God bless
You have a great demeanor and respectfulness - excellent reporting and interviewing my man!👍🏻
I’m pleasantly surprised that it wasn’t twisted into some type of either “religious nuts” or “anti-govt” extremism.. or both. I think he was fair in his representation.
Right the first good vice host,with a decent view for this shithole channel
I was hesitant to click on it because of that. Glad I finally did. Vice still sucks tho
Agreed. We are MILLIONS of families strong ,from the Ozark Mountain trail to the Appalachian mountain trail. And from Alaska to Texas. We are ready🇺🇲

I applaud Zeke (and his Team working hard behind the scenes) for putting together this piece of NON BIASED video journalism during a time in society where every media outlet has an agenda. Truly a breath of fresh air and I'm looking forward to working with them!
Oh yeah let me see those nukes open up preppers
Real journalism! Yes!
They were lowkey clowning them.
I've been watching pastor Joe for years
No this is biased. Notice when they talk about civil unrest in the beginning, the only form of it they show is Jan 6th. As if major cities across the country haven't been burned to the ground over the past 2 years.
That was great reporting. No leading the content, or portraying them in any sort of light. You simply showed their way of life. I can appreciate that nowadays.
Thank you for showing the preppers in a positive way, much appreciated 👍
“It’s not from fear its common sense.” Well said. That was excellent.

This was a very respectful journalist. I think these guys are pretty extreme and a bit strange myself but I really appreciated the journalists unbias and respectful attitude towards these people. I would love to see more journalists like this.
This is the stuff Vice should do. That journalist needs a raise. I don’t mind that I know which way Vice leans, but this was approached with an open mind and humanity. We need more of this from both sides.
Fairest documentary about Preppers I’ve seen.
Its Ron Swanson! "How many guns do you have?" "enough. next question"
ron swanson wishes he was pastor joe lol
The correct answer is: "none of your business"....I believe he was being polite.
Luke 12:16-21
“And He told them a parable, saying, “The land of a rich man produced plentifully, and He thought to himself, ‘What shall I do, for I have nowhere to store my crops?’ And He said, ‘I will do this: I will tear down my barns and build larger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods. And I will say to my soul, soul, you have ample goods laid up for many years; relax, eat, drink, be merry.’ But God said to him, ‘Fool! This night your soul is required of you, and the things you have prepared, whose will they be?”
Hi Zeke, As you can see from my profile I am an old guy. However looks can be deceiving. I grew up on a small farm in the late 50's and 60's. What is call prepping today was just the way we survived back then. I have recently been following a lot of the prepping shows. In just about all of them there is one thing that everyone is going to need that is missing from those shows. Feel free to private message me on FB and I can share it with you. If it is something you think is worth while you can share it with your subscribers.
This video im sure will save many lives. Great job guys!!
One of the best videos I've seen on prepping that gives it a fair overview. Great job!
Just watched the video 👍👍
Glad you shared on your page, it’s great to see positive view points from big names like this.
But this is Vice...
Psh..c'mon man
Agreed
Yes, very solid video. What do you do to strengthen your mind, body, and fighting spirit? I find that people become obsessed with all the guns and gadgets but lack the foundation of preparation.
I'm shocked VICE actually projected this genuinely. First time ever.
It’s almost like they are going back to their roots
A long time ago this is all vice was.
I got hooked up on vice coz of their content a while then stopped cause they were running an agenda and somehow they are going back to where they started, glad to see it
Then why do you watch them if it’s “first time ever”?
@@naufrage0 Because I watch pastor Joe and wanted to see the piece. Furthermore, I watch opposing opinions even if they irritate me. I know, that's a insane concept to a liberal.
That comb attack lmao 😂
I'm sure there was a great disco/bar called 'Bear Camp' in Frisco a while back...
My only disappointment is that this wasn’t long enough lol.I usually can’t watch any video over say 6 mins lol but I just couldn’t get enough of this video. God bless you pastor joe and all the safarians and bear independent.
@GlobalResistanceNetworkSwitzerland Shofarians
Safarians lmao
This was actually a fair piece by Vice...kinda surprised.

This guy reminds me of when Vice used to be good.
ahh the good ole Victorian era. where men still dressed like women but women dressed like women.

Ahh, yes, Shane's first 5 episodes...
Good to see a documentary that shows what prepping is really about: People just trying to live their on lives and get ready for what they expect it will be a bad time for them.

@@jaquesstrappe7664 I agree. I am a born-again Christian as of 10 months ago. Previously I thought the same as Pastor Joe. I wanted to be prepared for doomsday. But now I don't see the point of fighting for my life because my life in this world is just dirt compared to the eternal life in heaven.

This was really good, and done in a fair manner. Well done vice guy.
Very nice seeing Pastor Joe Fox & Bear Independent on here
We need more biblically based preparedness organizations, thank you for your support!

Love that Bear brings hurricane Katrina to attention, our founder lived through it!
The journalist and the prepper make a good odd couple. Which makes for a fun piece for vice kudos 👏🏻
@@BillHicks420 just remember you herd it first here!
I'm honestly shocked that vice went in on this so neutrally, and am thankful they did. Reminds me of the lebaron episode. Hopefully they continue down this route opposed to being biased as they have been. We dont need to be pushed to any side, just provide unbiased material - journalism.
They've been kind of doing that more and more recently. I don't know what changed but their documentaries feel like what they were years ago. Good stuff!
As a retired Infantryman I grew up around good men and guns were always present but used only when necessary for hunting or protection. All good men focus on gathering things to provide for his family and guns is a small part of our consideration. If a person is self reliant they posses a skill that most people have no clue about. So many people will suffer when things collapse and I don’t plan on being anywhere near millions of desperate people facing starvation.
The way bro was carrying the gun at first 😭😭😂
Rolled my eyes seeing a video from Vice about preppers. Ended up giving it a like. I didn't think vice had objective reporters anymore. Good work.
It was a shock how they portrayed us
This was super well done
Yea it was Are you located in Miami ?
Yeah, if you like watching action movies.... 😆
No it was medium rare
Sorry don’t trust check marks I’ll decide for myself
It was well done.
Been prepping for 2 years now. One tip I can give is you can never be too prepared.. You are never prepared enough. And if you are going to start go slow and buy thing little by little because its an endless pit of money and knowledge.
Honest look at preparedness. Respect for that. I was very impressed with the opened minded take on preppers
