Rule #1 of being a prepper, don't tell anyone about your preps.
Absolutely right
never broadcast your tactics , plans, preps, etc.
. Told my people to prepare after Katrina nobody want to prep. Never told nobody about my food storage. I was prepared for covid didn't have to go to the grocery stores to get toilet paper or nothing it pays to be ready
I can tell anyone because my British prepping group is 450 STRONG

I think getting yourself in good physical shape should be step one of prepping. You can prep a hundred bug out locations and it won't matter if you end up having a heart attack at the first sign of trouble.
I’m with you 100%. For years there has been a theme of overweight preppers on this show, and I can’t fathom why. Especially when most people on this show invest tons of money, and time into there plans..
@@bwcafishing I've noticed it too. I think it's because spending money is easy (assuming you've got it to spend lol), but getting in shape is really hard. With that said, surviving in an apocalyptic state will also be really hard and IF someone genuinely believes that such a state will become the reality, you'd think that it would be better and easier to get in shape before it does... but apparently these preppers haven't considered that lol. Honestly, I think, for a lot of these "preppers" it's just an expensive roleplaying game or hobby. Perhaps the people who score the preps should grade for physical preparedness as one of the categories.
If that's how god wants me to go, then thats how ill go. If not, im kickin all the way to the grave
Being in shape sure but having low body fat is a downgrade. The first winter will be very difficult for folks without reserves in the tank. There is a happy medium here.
27:45 comedy is about truth? How true were the laughs? And im not talking about the video editor sample laughs that are played at every single ‚joke‘ u bring, i mean the ‚real’ laughs
My Dad had a friend that was really into prepping. So much so that he let it take over his whole life. He was so convinced the world was ending that he quit his job, sold all of his family's possessions and invested every penny of their life savings into food storage and survival gear. That was in 2008. There's nothing wrong with prepping. I've got all sorts of stuff in my basement ready to go to keep my family alive if something were to happen. But don't let it take over your life to the point it cripples you financially or drives a wedge between you and your family.
It’s a bit ironic for someone to spend their whole life prepping for a disaster so they can supposedly protect their life….which has only been spent prepping for said disaster….seems so pointless. And in the interim, they never actually ever live their life while they could.
It was a part of my divorce. I decided theres no way I could stand being under ground with that guy for a year lol
A big part of preparedness is financial preparedness. Being debt free is a MUST. Anyone buying preps via debt is making a terrible, terrible decision. Did your dad's friend buy somewhat rural land & some type of shelter in order to garden/raise livestock with that money? Or did he only buy food & gear? If it was only buying food and gear, why would he need to quit his job? That would only make sense if he quit his job in order to move really far away from said job in order to be on safer rural property and to have the time to build up that land (developing the land, gardening, building structures, tending to animals, etc. - that all takes a LOT of time unless you have mountains and mountains of money to pay people to do it all or buy a really expensive turnkey property.) How is your Dad's friend doing today?
He was only off by 15 years
Son look at the world right now!
NatGeo should do a “where are they now” follow up series for all the Doomsday Preppers
Up
is staged
Still waiting and wasting their time and money worrying about living in a world no one would want to live in or try to survive.
@@IvanPlayStation4LiFeI think it’s scripted for tv (obviously) but I believe they’re real people prepping
@@matthewstearns289yeah definitely. I’ve always been prepared for realistic things like emergencies (natural disasters, even grid down for a bit). But not to the point of obsession like things guys. After a couple decades you think they’d be tired of it - or even more unstable
Steve is in greater risk of a heart attack than an apocalypse
I thought the same.
😂
Right😂 I get it but chill out Dude omg
You’d expect his food rating to be a 20
Have you seen Seattle? Or Philly ? its comming... and the people that watch this video wont remeber his tactics and will be dead 3 weeks in.
I love how they say "undisclosed mountain range" in the first one when an experienced Geoguessr player could probably pinpoint their house in like 2 minutes.
that was legit my first thought when i heard that lmao
Try that without your computer, phone or ELECTRICITY, asswipes.
Didn't they say it was 15miles away from their house 🤔
@@WeThePeople. Either the Olympic mountains or the Cascade range. There are hundreds/thousands of places that look like the background in that picture..
Around 7.5 minutes but yes…………..
prepping is actually a great way to learn stuff. from safety, firstaid, farming. machinery and engineering.
i’ve watched this video 1000 times over and studied his every plan and move and prepared for any possible changes as well. At the event of any catastrophic event, i’m going to this guy immediately.. Thanks
Lol dont do that. Pretty sure you will go to sleep for ever.
Lol he does not want you to go to him bud
Their tactical considerations are lacking.
I bet he'd just shoot you when you approach...
In 2021, parts of South Africa were threatened by mass looting/rioting. I was in the province that was hit the hardest. After the first day, many shops were burnt to the ground and robbed with some police even joining in. Because of this, our community formed a large group and made roadblocks in and out of our small town. I was at one of the roadblocks and had a fair share of encounters. People started panick buying immediately, what made it worse was that most of the people weren't even from our town, they drove 30km to get to us. The stores couldn't get supplies from Trucks as those Trucks were either looted or forced to stay in a safe area. This meant that the shops ran out of supplies very quickly (less than a day). People from out of town became violent when they were told that all shops had run out of supplies. This only lasted a few days. Now imagine how bad it will get when it happens for weeks, months and years.
Wow... can you be armed? Not sure if South Africa has any provision for citizens being armed.
@@notallthatbad Government wants to take their guns away
Your experience is much more informative and useful than any of these prepares. I see disastrous flaws in all three scenarios and your experience illustrates some of them.
The good thing that is going to happen after the collapse is that everybody will learn how to shut properly
Same year but different scenarios, it was after Hurricane Rai (locally known as Typhoon Odette) where people from the city 60-100km away visit the small rural town I lived in and the first thing that was bought off was gas. This made people from my area mad because our transportation or commute was affected. City folks were also bulk buying food and water to the point that people in my area started cussing city folks for disrupting our way of life.
Not only is it off a main highway, it’s completely surrounded with tree lines, AND he literally told the world how he plans to protect the house 😂
More importantly all you really have to do is look around and do terrain association, if it's that important to find it.
You can't be serious, his biggest mistake was to buy property and build a cabin next to a road lol
Perfect for UAV ops😮💨🤌🏼
I was thinking the exact same thing lol
Let's put ourselves in the center and give the people coming from the tree lines all the cover because I bet they will come straight up the driveway
That 8yo was cracking me up. Adorable little kid.
😂😂😂 he living the dream
David is killing it at the comedy club that only lets 6 people in! Legend!
Got his whole family to show up.
These guys are NOT nuts... They are just ahead of schedule.
Bingo!
@Bri Arriaga obviously you have no idea.. this isn't world war 2 this will be world war three after everything's been shared through out the world through your Barack
Kiddo. Sorry to point out this bit of truth to you buuuuut if you think these guys aren't nuts, you certainly are :)
AMEN‼️🙏🏽🇺🇸
Trying the same let me show you my drive way
Don't let fear control your life. Being prepared is smart. But some go overboard and let it become their way of life, instead of enjoying it while they are here.
Lots of people enjoy being out in the hills getting air , nature, exercise n being together , plus the fact that city folk will come during a major change in life , like food , well it is fun knowing who will survive
@@user-yh7fc7wt6v agreed most are living like they did in the old days
@@user-yh7fc7wt6v city folk won't even make it that far. They'll die from starvation just sitting in the traffic jam of everyone trying to get out of the city all at once.
What better then doing something you enjoy doing. They look like they are having fun
@@purplemonster2239 you assume 'city folk' are like the people in YOUR city. I have lived my entire life in a city. Been a prepper for 15 years now. Getting more serious about it. Takes nothing to buy flints and containers. It IS all out there. You get it our you don't
I find it ironic that his “5 inch steel door” is secured by a flimsy padlock
This has got to be the most American National Geographic documentary to date, and I'm loving it.
I was in the National Guard in Southern California during the 90s, riots and earthquake. The basics I learned is good people will be really good and bad people will be bad, if not worse. Everything will be disorganized and difficult to get. FEMA recommends three days of self sustainment. This was a TV show, I think a lower profile and an old truck would probably be a good asset not to blow up.
National Geographic: “What kind of government list would you like to be on?” Guy: “Yes”
😅🤣
He was on that list way before this show
Live free not scared.
🤣
🤣😅😂😂😅😅
they should totally bring this show back. Was so interesting.
Especially now after 3 years of Joe biden
I'd like to see a more realistic everyday prepper type renewal of the show.
I think it's really cool that the equipment that he's putting together is realistic to the scenario. Whether it's the resources, the primary hunting and fishing tools, the medical equpment. It's all realistic to the scenario. Which is a very nice addition to the show.
Physical fitness is key to survival a lot of people have guns and all but cant run 100 yards
or have a way to vaccinate against/ treat, say, tetanus after refrigeration is gone and vaccines and antibiotics go bad.
@@peacenow42 Anyone with 20 cans of food are likely In better shape than you are.. lol
What serious prepper would allow all their stuff to be filmed? SMH.
The type with more than one compound and plan ready…. Always gotta have a backup plan somewhere in there.
@@noobie1890 yeah there just showing of a quarter of there stuff
None. Lol. Just another tv show for entertainment. Trying to bring attention to real preppers to the government.
Well I don't know about you, but after watching this, even if I did know where his bug-out cabin was, I'd just move on. This guy is ready for a fight.
@@J_LOVES_ME yeah no telling how many traps they got set
These folks can’t run a mile and they think they will survive lol😂
Steve's family mixing those explosives looked pretty dangerous.
At 9:37 both the father and older son aimed their firearms at the younger son with fingers on the trigger. First rule of gun safety is treat every firearm as if it's loaded
How about 8:52 with the shotgun lying right beside the explosives with the barrel aimed at it. One little oopsie could have taken the whole family crowded around it out in one big boom.
I noticed the same and was going to post but seen yours first. There ideas are good but i think in a real situation they wouldnt last very long.
@@richd9771 nope. They are toast. I would definitely enjoy their stuff.
Right? Real preppers (not these goofy Mad Max cosplayers) are counting on these doofuses to take themselves out before they employ all those weapons to take out people who don't look & think like them, or come after our gardens. We have "thurvivalists" like this around here. Lots of firepower, can't grow a leaf of lettuce.
OMG TRIGGER DISCIPLINE IS NOT THAT HARD. I was thinking I'd be afraid to be on the camera crew on several of these episodes cuz of idiots and their children who are not properly careful. I think you should expose everyone of every age to firearms to understand them safely. And I think anyone at any age is capable of being stupid with them.
Not sure when this episode was filmed but definitely not as crazy in 2023 as it might have been 10 yrs ago!
Yeah, it is. No one else is this deep into this specific delusion like redneck Americans are, many of whom get tricked rather easily to believe ridiculous things, like everything the first guy said.
Where you been lately? Taking all our liberties ignoring govment lies threatening war with Russia AND China....forcing fake vaxx on us when that is against multiple world and US laws. AND they want digital ID and currency...that is a total fake climate crisis trap.
Lol
Naw, some of them are a little more than off, like delusional, not practical or based in reality at all and they are probably their own worst enemies. Being prepared ain't no thing, being a sociopath is.
That’s the thing, it never was crazy. People who thought it was crazy we’re just ignorant to what could happen in this world
I like the way they speak full of confidence, as if those that would be coming to take their stuff, could not be as battle aware as they are, when that "day" comes, there's going to be thousands of military oriented, "not playing with a full deck of cards" scavenger groups, coming to take it all.
Last one with the lady. If she’s going to barter with others/ strangers, and not have a firearm and training, she’ll lose everything
Yep and quickly. But maybe she's just not broadcasting her true abilities to the world. 😉👍
The first guy and his family have some serious psychopath vibes. Iam a prepper but this guy's glee at the idea of killing people creeps me out.
Eh yeah it's not too bad I've seen much worse. Remember the show is about amping that up.
yeah but i feel like every single one of them always display “there defenses” not only because it’s flashy and good for the show but also because it’s fun range time
I just think he was a bit low IQ. A determined raider would just sneak up and snipper his group. He'd only stop people who stumbled over him. I don't think he's a psychopath, just acknowledges out would be a blood bath of the food team out.
I agree, he kind of reminded me of Pyle in that scene from Full Metal Jacket when he shot gunny.
youremistaken u nuts, kill or be killed! thats it.
I’ve been a prepper for for a few years now. But this show is a joke!! I swear they find the most outrageous people, purposely to make the rest of us look crazy!
Truth.
Right? These guys are Mad Max cosplayers & would probably be the first to go. Probably by blowing themselves up.
They are trying to prepare the fraidy cats who don't get what 'be ready' means
You're not a prepper, lol. This is a prepper. I thought I was a prepper once until I met a ton of these people at my local shooting tournaments. I unfortunately don't have the time to prep like this, but I'm the one with machining equipment and tooling, so I'm good. Get friends and acquaintances cause have you seen what our president is doing?
That's what sells. They have to use the craziest/most ridiculous looking people for their shows. There's nothing interesting about the people who have a reasonable prepping plan that doesn't involve every one of your plans ending in a Michael Bay style firefight :P
Props to the paintball guy willing to get shot up lmao.
First thing I would do is NOT buy a cabin next to a paved road. Regardless of how out of the way it might be
You're better off learning basic farming, high density gardening, fishing, hunting, food preservation....the old standard basics of survival that past generations lived by.
My thoughts exactly 💯💪
and the willingness to employ violence without hesitation on those that would try to take it
You forgot some basic tactical training
Exactly. These crazy guy is preparing for the first month after an imaginary apocalypse. After a month or two, he is dead meat
Learning all of it because there will be all kinds of people coming to take your food and everything you got. There will be very desperate people walking the earth.when the bottom drops out.
Ya know I used to think some of this stuff was pretty extreme but every day it is looking more like it could turn into reality.
20 years later,"ya my dad was paranoid so he built this, 40 years later, "ya grandpa was paranoid", 60 years later,"ya great grandpa was paranoid".......😂😂😂😂😂😂
The reality is all that it takes is no electricity or food in stores. People will do crazy stuff and panic will set it immediately. All these scenarios seem like a stretch, but we are all so used to the comfort and convenience. Once that's gone, sanity will also go out the window. Preppers will one day be the reason society will be rebuilt after SHTF.
Don't really care how out of my mind I am, not gonna raid the country, I'd raid the city in a heartbeat, it's a death wish to try that out in the sticks.
@@brianmurray4470 yes
To be honest if you took the net away and technology you will trip our lives back centuries. It could happen. Everyone should know how to camp or if it comes to it hunt for food.
@@Pauldjreadman I think everyone 5 years old and up should know how to hunt for food along with homesteading
There have been several features that went over this...like docudramas etc. and many of them have gone away. You can't find them. It's like the information has been forbidden. Pandemics. Government over reach over and over again. China overflights and intent to take Taiwan. Russia getting ready to nuke Kiev. Biden admin being more and more inept every day.... Stock market is on meth and no idea what is sane and what isn't. Austin going a week without power. Attacks on power grid. If you are not getting ready for a real "inconvenience" then you are not looking both ways to cross the road.
The old saying ..... "prepare for the worst, hope for the best " is as relevant as ever
First rule of fight club
I'd be looking to bug out of town too with stand-up comedy like that.
Better to prep two years early, than 1 day late
Right
I'm a prepper, I started 12 years ago.I started out with 40 acres, with a year around creek that constantly pushes 1,100 gallons per minute. It is fed by a private reservoir that is fed by four natural springs, the reservoir never drops more than a couple inches during the summer. Brought a travel trailer out to the property and moved here. Paid off the property in 3 1/2 years, I dug a big pond out on my property that the creek comes into and put of back into the creek, stocked it with bass, catfish and bluegill. Brought solar and wind power in because I'm off the grid, hand dug a domestic water well for drinking water, the creek I set up to irrigate pastures, gardens and crops. Bought 2 tractors, sheep, pigs, goats, horses chickens, 3 40 foot storage containers for a NBC fallout shelter, commercial size greenhouses one with a wood stove to grow through winter months. Medical equipment and machines, every tool in the world. Way to much to list as far as my preps but my setup can sustain generations to come.
you sound like a farmer, NOT a prepper. Look into WHY that is if you want to survive
@@lorrainearmstrong7587 survival will depend on sustainable resources which is what I accomplished. People stocking food and supplies will only last as long as their stock last, I set up for reproduction of sustainable resources.
@@lorrainearmstrong7587 ... What do you think prepping means?
@@lorrainearmstrong7587 bless your heart
A group could easily take over your compound
Some people might call this guy paranoid or crazy.... I just see a guy that loves his family and would do what ever it takes to protect them. A guy who values the time on his side and knows that reality is scarier than people realize.
I agree It's better to be an environmentalist
All he needs is a paintball gun they say..
He's stupid, he should be preparing to weather a financial crisis rather than preparing for the end of the world. If he put his educational skills into a protected job industry, he wouldn't need to worry about a collapse.
Danm right brother same here
well, not EVERYTHING. Look at that belly lol. Getting in shape should be the second priority of prepness, behind a reasonable amount of guns.
His two buddies? Hes literally trusting them with his life. I sincerely hope he knows them VERY VERY well.
This content is about 10 yrs old! I've watched them religiously back then when I became a prepper. Times have changed.
Don't forget the colony
Most certainly I would agree 👍
I thought I've seen pieces of these videos before
Time not changed. Government change ur brain.
@@jackstoltz1379 colony online only goes so far. Jes stating a fact

Right? Every other clip there's a small arsenal or ammo boxes in the background. Good grief.
u’r just jealous u nuts!
I watched this when I was retired. Now I have a full time job and still watching this
There is nothing wrong with prepping, as long as you're being realistic. Have some type of firearm for self-protection and know how to use it. Have at least two weeks of food and water. Also, if you wanna go bigger, have some type of alternative power source like a solar or propane generator. If you have this or even a half of this congrats your a prepper.
That last lady is gonna get messed up if she thinks a paintball gun will save her.
The oppressor will have a firearm for sure. She gone!
They’re not hiking 50 miles to that cabin 😂
AH, AH..... Not a chance!!!!!!
2 miles tops
So YOU assume someone must live close to the city to be a prepper. Wow
@@lorrainearmstrong7587 I’m referring to their physical health and being able to hike that 50 miles through wilderness let alone on a path, I have no clue what living close to the city has anything to do with it 😂
It sure feels like these guys would be disappointed if nothing ever happens lol
At 9:39, little boy had his finger on the trigger, and the gun was pointing at his little brother. Guess they’re not prepared for safety. 😂
That 1st family just wow, flagging each other and terrible trigger discipline! They're their own worst enemies not to mention have a couple of the worst doomsday guns. You also don't want anyone in your group but family because even friends can turn into enemies. And that last lady has spent way too much time in the lands of hippies to not be willing to use deadly force because that's what the people that are going to be coming with that want her stuff! And where is she even going to get compressed gas for her paint ball gun when society collapses?
Not all hippies are as foolish as her. I'm a military trained one. She's just too soft inside. Won't make it....she's prepped for someone else.
This comment is EXACTLY what my thoughts were throughout watching this entire video, zero trigger discipline, the older son is a liability flagging the little son, and apparently puts “drum clips” on his rifles, whatever those are. Their weapons were god awful weapons to have on a doomsday scenario, a desert eagle and an Ak47 lmaoo, a desert eagle is one of the most unpractical pistols in existence, and good luck finding ammo for that and the AK-47, everyone knows to stick to NATO rounds.
I know for a fact If I'm desperate enough a paintball gun isn't gonna stop me
yeah those two dudes are going to want to bring their family's or at least their girlfriends lol.
Bad patrol discipline too. Terrible spacing in the open, formation and being the 6 oclock security doesn't mean you walk backwards
It's always better to be safe than sorry. Personally, I believe these guys are on the right path.
Out of all the scenarios on this show, this is most probable.
It's not about thinking, they are in the right path it's a fact, weren't enough prepared for what is coming
Hold your breath!
There's being prepared and there is being obsessed. The second comes when you become slightly disconnected with reality. If you let it consume you then you can forget to live. We only have so much time here. Don't waste too much. Especially when some things are just beyond your control. Realistic preppers are less about the glorious gunfight and more about the self sustainability.
@@wesleyhannah7002 k Wes.
This really makes preppers look nuts! I would never be on a show every telling the world exactly what I have and what I’m planning!
I think some most of them really just want to show off and thatvis why they go on tv lol
Like how unknown or undisclosed is it now that an entire production crew knows where it is and who is to say that they will keep that information to themselves. They know the area, the weak points, where food and ammo is stored, etc. They basically can take this information and use it to their advantage.
Steve's biggest mistake was to buy property and build his cabin next to a road, he should have bought inholding property in a national forest
You assume what all city people assume. Go live in a forest for a week. Bet YOU will not be prepared

Keep rolling them don’t change perspectives now
What’s imminent, another economic downturn just like the last 40 years? Perpetual boom bust cycles are the hallmark of unregulated capitalism. These are easily fixable problems. Just stock up on canned goods and nonperishables and have a plan for clean water and you’re good to go. Best to be mobile if something bad does happen. Humans lived without a nanny state protecting them for tens of thousands of years.
NOT. Do you realize all the ways they may still die, and with no morphine? No antibiotics?
@@peacenow42 there is no shortage of antibiotics or morphine. In fact we have too much antibiotics in our food and water, which is causing antibiotic resistance. And we are the foremost consumer of opiates on the planet, some farmers literally grow opium exclusively for our market. The armories and pharmacies will be the first thing looted, so keep that in mind. Mind you these are things that normal people have been considering for decades, burying myself in a bunker never once crossed my mind. The best way to prep for any given disaster is a “go bag” full of essentials and a well maintained vehicle. Maybe keep some camping gear with your go bag. Anything too heavy to carry that doesn’t go boom, or that you can’t eat will be dead weight.

TV preppers: my stuff is a secret, no one knows what I have done. …….. Litterally a whole episode on what they have done
In a complete breakdown of society, I'm pretty sure I won't leave my family's safety dependent on a paintball gun.
If people want to prep with some sort of weapon, they need to address their fears of real guns. Talk to an expert, say a police officer or marksman at a gun range. You shouldn't fear guns when it comes to your safety. Educate yourself. Also, there is a real possibility things won't get that bad. It's beginning to sound like we are going to get hit with a nuclear war. It's been said and prophesized that the U.S. is going to badly suffer - in that case death to 9 out of 10 people will come very quickly. This country isn't what it used to be and it has many enemies. We will be attacked - probably at the same time - by all the nuclear weapons holding countries (China, Russia, North Korea, Iran, ++). There's no place to hide, unless you go underground. Keep in mind that drones are increasingly being used. They will be in use in the hills and mountains. Prep the best you can. Hide your valuables and be ready to let the bad guys take what they want.
@@carolgreen1822 you also need to know HOW to hunt WITHOUT a gun. It will go back to that very quickly. Just pointing out the flaw in your thinking. My family is the same way. I am the only prepper. Who will go to see whom when the SHTF??

if its doomsday and i’m a looter and the person pulls out a paintball gun im going to hit the ground laughing 😂
so, you have never been hit by a paint ball.
I still remember the preppers I met as a little boy way back in the 1960's. They swore the attack was any year now.
yoooooooo. a little boy carrying an assault rifle????? thats craaaaazzzyyyy!!!
Even though he thinks no one will attack from the rear, they will. You have to be prepared for the unexpected if you want to survive.
Yep ! attack from the rear first
I would love to see them to go back and see what these guys are up to now.
half of them probably got raided if were being honest
A lot of them went to jail on Jan 6th. 🤣
me too.. probably lost house in bankruptcy. I mean do math on all that sh I. t
@@kennybachman35hell yeah 😂

You can call them "crazy" or "ready," but when things go wrong, you're definitely gonna call them.

read about all the framers in Ukraine the USSR killed so they could control the people by controlling food production@@guccicody3647
I like that he has a plan to defend the approach to his cabin. They should also have a plan to demolish the road to make it impassible for at least a mile down each direction, so that vehicles cannot even get near them after they have arrived there.
But all that prepping...it does not help against people that actually know what they're doing.. For example former special forces members or guys that are trained in combat.. I'm not an operator but I'd never attack anyone coming in from the front door with a vehicle that's not even bulletproof.. I'd try to sneak in through the woods with a squad and operate silent in the dark or sth like that.. 🤷🏻♂️😅
PT is step one in preparing. If you can’t run to your mail box and back…your screwed. Strong body = strong willpower
The guy with the driveway ambush plan is assuming an attacking force is going to do exactly what he thinks they will do. The first rule of combat is- Upon first contact with the enemy all plans go out the window! Should a group of military trained people attack your position you wouldn't stand a chance. The woman thinking a paintball gun is even remotely useful needs to get off whatever drugs she's on because this is how it's gonna go for her-- she's gonna yell "stop! Get off my property!"and begin to raise her paintball gun and someones going to drop her where she stands.
The Highest Score Of Doomsday Preppers Was A Episode That Never Aired.... That Was The Episode That James Yeager From Camden, TN Was On... James Yeager Was The Owner Of Tactical Defense...
Gotta love how the first group blows up the perfect SHTF vehicle. That Nissan 4x4 was rugged, mechanically simple, good on gas, and capable. And these idiots blew the thing up. Like the bad guys would even park on top of your explosives anyway. These folk have a "secure location" right on a main road. They would not last long. I respect what they are trying to do. But they wouldn't last more than a day if someone gets up on that ridge, or a determined group realizes they have all of those supplies.

Rule 1 of being a prepper: Never tell people how you are prepping That being said the one thing everyone should consider is being in better shape. You can shoot accurately, you can have a lot of gear and tools, but if you cannot run a mile you are dead. The first prepper had a pretty solid plan, but now they need to make a new plan and find a new location.
Preparing for the worse is the best thing you can teach your children
Maybe he should “prep” his youngest son with speech lessons and possibly reading skills. Just my impression.
His cabin is right off a paved highway lmao
You gotta look it this way though. Most Americans are Great big Fat Obese Wheezing slobs oozing Estrogen,Diabetes and Heart Disease out their pores. They could never walk to that Cabin location.
I think living in a war torn country, I have already experienced a thousand times more than what they are preparing for and survived. I would have done the same preparations but unfortunately I was born in the middle of doomsday.
Would you tell me a little bit more about your experiences? Sounds really interesting to hear from someone who has lived through it.
I'd like to hear about it too. Or at least tell which country.

It's fun to prepare and do it as a hobby, but also don't let it consume you. The world might not fall. Also, if it does, being fit is the most important part.

Awesome Video this guy is really prepped!!!
This video is probably 10 years old I wonder if he still preps. 😂
in bidens America he is probably using his preps
This kind of prepping is expensive, but at least it is something. Majority of ppl would die in the first couple of days following a collapse. Training and getting in physical shape might be a good next step.
These guys are on point. God Bless These People.🙌
Amen..❤🎉🎉
Imagine preping all this time just to die from heart attack
The first guy is living in a fantasy world, dreaming of shooting explosives and such" i mean yeah prep away, but you ain't no rambo.
😂 This guy knows how to perform for an audience.
Steve doesn't think any explosive can breach his bunker that isn't even 10 ft under ground ? Lol
I thought the same thing. It didn't look underground at all to me. Looked like a shipping container with dirt poured over the top lol.
The 6 year old with a AK killed me lol
