Prepping for a Disaster (Full Episode) | Doomsday Preppers

As a prepper, I would NEVER let the world know what I do, what I have, or where I put it.

This show needs to be brought back but done in a more serious way.

I love how supportive his family is. Its quite sad how traumatizing that fire mustve been, I hope this brings him peace with that

So many people see this and can't figure out where to start. I started prepping before YK2 because I had a 3 yr old daughter and didn't want her to suffer. So I started with $20 and bought rice and beans. Then I added more can veggies. My grandmother gifted her pressure canner and hundreds of jars and showed me how to can. My father tripled the size of his garden that summer and we canned, pickled, dehydrated, etc... Y2K ended up as a non-event, but I was pretty self sufficient by then. I still prep after all this time, and have used my preps for different events. My husband was laid off for several months and we didn't need to buy food. Hurricanes and local tornados have left us without electricity for up to 2 weeks, but we have solar panels, a generator, and oil lamps. So all the preps are comparable to insurance. They're there when you need them. And it all started with $20 spent on rice and beans.

So many people seem to think if you can't be 100% prepared for any and everything, might as well not try. Something is better than nothing, always.

The fact that we get free documentaries from National Geographic on YouTube is priceless. keeping the education and knowledge alive.. 🙏🙏🙏

At age 67, Ive been prepping for 20+ years. I live in the philippines now where my money goes very much further. I have ceased prepping. For now. I am wondering if I have the desire to just survive. Each year that passes, my 20 years of prepping simply to have to hide and fight to survive has less and less appeal to me. So I have become an "Afterllife Prepper"

First rule of Prep Club, don't talk about Prep Club.

Having the generator outside, makes you vulnerable, because anyone that wants to do you harm, can reach it and control your living situation. Better is to have a backup system that can be stored inside with power reserve (solar power station) that kicks in when the generator stops. The fact that you need to leave your bunker to fill up makes the whole family a target.

Please more of these ,they are perfect for this day and age!

What an awesome and caring grandfather! That first family is so lucky to have someone looking out for and preparing for their well being.

Gosh I wish I had a grandfather like that. I would be so honored.

My grandmother called it getting ready for winter. She lived through the Great Depression and remembered what is was to have nothing. She always had a big garden and tons of canned goods she put in mason jars herself

I agree, our power gird is so fragile. Look at what happened in the deep freeze in Texas. I live in NC and recently some people shot guns at a power station and put over 30,000 people in the dark for over a week. With this latest deep freeze, Asheville's water supply station was damaged and thousands of people were without water for 10 days. NOT ONE TIME DID ANY GOVERNMENT AGENCY TRY TO HELP THEM!

the fact that that many people in your family are armed tells me you've done a great job instilling self reliance on self defense bravo sir.

I feel bad for the first guy. He is trying to protect himself from pain. Reality comes to each of us and pain and death are inevitable.

Just watched this in 2023 as we are entering the next depression. In the UK people are choosing between food or heat

Do not be so consumed by fear that you forget to live

I would totally appreciate my grandpa or a family member doing all of this for me so I could survive.

My grandfather fed his family through the great depression with a sling shot. Rabbits, squirrels, possum, and turtles were all on the menu. He had a very small single shot 22 rifle that he used for deer. But it was saved for those special occasions.
