- TRAINING their kids to use knives and dining out on roadkill... meet the suburban mums ready for the collapse of civilisation as we know it.
A surge in "prepper parenting" has seen bookings in survival courses soar, with mothers across the UK stockpiling for a crisis - even if they're called "doomsday damsels" by confused neighbours.
This month the deputy prime minister Oliver Dowden told Brits to buy candles and battery powered radios in case power supplies or digital connections went down.
And experts tell The Sun that they had seen a 100 per cent rise in people taking survival classes well before this announcement, with women leading the way.
British preppers are worried about the wars in Ukraine and Gaza leading to a global conflict, rising energy prices, lockdown and flooding.
Survival expert Jason Ingamells, 46, from Matlock, Derbyshire, whose Woodland Ways company offers courses across the UK and abroad, says: “The number of men, women and families wanting to do a day, weekend or even a monthly long course has doubled.
“We used to have more men, but now on some courses women dominate.
“I am even doing a course for hen parties who are opting out of boozy nights and into survival kits.
"I do some courses which show participants how to cook a meal just using what they can forage.
"Other courses see us dining on a gourmet meal of fresh roadkill."
One of the mums who is ready for a crisis is Kya Fernwood, 47, from Oxford.
The acupuncturist and single mother-of-two attended a bushcraft show two years ago with her daughters, aged nine and 13.
They learned how to make fires from flint, forage for fruit and mushrooms and how to make a survival shelter.
Kya explains: “It was amazing. The girls had a great time and I felt more empowered learning new skills.”
While she had been surrounded by burly men in camo kit at the first show, the following year it was a different crowd.
Kya says: “There were more women and families than ever before.
“In Canada, where my relatives live, everyone has to have general preparedness kits in case of blizzards to survive three days without help.
“The fact the deputy PM has asked us to have kits at home just makes good sense."
Jason offered her the chance to become an apprentice course coordinator for Woodland Ways.
She says: “I do the school run, manage my acupuncture treatment clinic and teach survival courses and bushcraft skills.
“For the first time in my life I felt confident making a shelter and fire from nothing in the wildness. I felt I could handle a crisis if I found myself with out resources.”
“My daughters have learnt the same skills as me. They can start a fire without a lighter, build a shelter, find drinkable water and make a meal from what they forage.
“They are mini little modern bush crafters who can.”
Her daughters also know how to handle a knife, use a flint and have "kit bags", which are filled with the key items needed for survival in the woods.
Kya says: “Some people might be horrified to see a child under 10 wielding a knife in the woods, but they know what they are doing.
“They don't spend time on TikTok or UA-cam. They are at home in the woods now.
“I am glad my two girls have their grab bags with sleeping blankets, waterproof clothes, batteries, flints, mini shovels and kit to survive.”
Instead of eating fast food, the girls dine out on wild foraged salad, pigeon stew, elderflower fritters, woodland mushroom bakes and nettle soup.
Kya says: “I know many people will stick up their noses, but now mums, dads and families approach me wanting more information and to learn the skills my girls and I have.
“At home my kids both know how to survive a blackout, how to filter water, use a saw, cook on a fire, and what essential items are needed to stay and warm.
“I’m not an apocalypse junkie. I am a mum who is prepared."

If everyone is paying attention you should definitely be preparing
Glad to see others noticing the changes and taking necessary steps to help protect themselves and their families...
Prior planning and preparation prevent plss poor performance 🙏
Don't tell anyone about your preparation ladies. 💯 keep it mum . Or you will have the entire neighbourhood at your door 🚪 🤷
Everyone laughs but this is close. if people woke up and look around its very very clear.
2024 is gonna be crazy more so than the last 4 years. If you're not a prepper. Become one now. Start small. If you have a family it's your duty.
I'm going to try, have only 1 family member so mainly myself to prep for, but will need to put some money aside and get some basic outdoor training like in this vid.
Drastic changes coming by and even before 2030, so yes, prep amap and asap in every way !
I would like to be prepared for a solar storm, when all the electrical equipment is knocked out. The primary thing we will need is homegrown food and fresh water.
Very good. When are going to start reporting on all the EXCESS DEATHS in the UK and all.over the world?
I second this...
If society totally collapses, it would be another “Dark Ages” where knowledge and technology is lost and a primitive lifestyle emerges. In cold climates it would be following herd animals, for food and raw material resources, except large herds of animals are gone. In temperate climates it would be using renewable plants and small animals for food and raw material resources, except jungle forests have been cut down and replaced with cities. A survivalist plans to live out a short term disruption of society long enough for modern society to recover without any long term plans to live a primitive lifestyle forever.
Prepping is the smart choice, those that don't will wish they did. Then it'll be oh can we have some of your food and water..
Prepare to never except the digital I'd.
Smart women
Good video and everything this lady says is correct. We need to be as self sufficient as possible during these times..... whos coming to help you?
Don't forgot the beer dear.
This country cant even hack a millimeter of snow watch when theres the hotel dwellers prowling about and urban folk rioting and looting
Hence why you prep so you dont have to venture out when all that is going on!
They already flood shops, the dangerous anti-British propagandists like BBC don't report on it. When the anti-British bought out MET fall (and they barely stem the tide now) then yeah it'll be pretty bad, especially in cities.
You're only ever one splinter from amputation without safety gloves
And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh. Then let them which are in Judæa flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto. For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled. Luke 21:20-22
When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:) then let them which be in Judæa flee into the mountains: let him which is on the house top not come down to take any thing out of his house: neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes. And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days! But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day: for then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. Matthew 24:15-21
Good. Some will make fun, but those are the same types that believe in booostereds, maskers, and gov ministers.
Is this an ad to sell her course?
Bingo !!!
I need one.....😮
Alright in summer..
0:22 - "For Sale" (in Russian)
Robin Hood kinda training. I wonder if she's in the very same forest.
not this way !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Doesn't take much.. cyber attack power outage etc
Not enough wild land in the uk to make this viable.
Bingo !!!
Bla bla... Some people are just made for chaos... The rules within chaos is easy... Civilisation is hard...
😅😅😅dgu
Hah, your laughing now...
If civilisation comes crashing down, you'll need an underground bunker to last a little longer. Are you a billionaire?
Boy scouts for mums 😂 Cute.
Prepare for the Afterlife. The first stop is the life of the grave which is longer than this life. Then Resurrection for the Day of Judgement which is 50 000 years long, then eternity in Paradise or the Fire. Only Islamic Monoteism (Tawhid) and certain belief in the Afterlife by not saying that you eill turn to dust and vanish into non-existence will give you safety and bliss in those stages of the Afterlife. Those whom this life distracted to duch an extent that they made the creation as equals and partners with their Creator or were greedy for it until they said that they will turn to dust and vanish into non-existence, those will never see peace or relief after their last breath.
Human beings are a social species that survived and evolved into a civilization through cooperation, not locking ourselves underground with a few tins of beans and a gun. We work our problems out, not cosplaying the dark ages.
Lmao you gotta be delusional. Humans being in chaos are willing to do anything for survival and only the mentality though survive.
Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ!
That won't save you
@@crazycressy7986 For the preaching of the cross to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.
Jesus isn’t real he’s just some imaginary person that has been past down by cult members over the decades
@born_again111 listen to a song call God is dead and bad religion by Motohead
@@crazycressy7986 why would I subject myself to such garbage?
