First step to prepping would prob be to move out of a giant city lol
Foley
You'd think that's what they'd do 😂😂
@@LauRoot892 🤠 Gulf Shores 👍 defend our chokepoint bridges and we turn Gulf Shores into a post-apocalyptic island fortress, a naturally defendable position. With all those hundreds of condos, stores and restaurants, the island of Gulf Shores has a lifetime supply of canned food, bedding, clothing, fishing equipment and other resources for surviving 🤠👍
@@Mr.No-wo2cp Where you from ? Nice 😊 meeting you 😾🙄😂🥰
Not everyone can leave the city. NYC is an amazing city and a great place to make a,living. So likely they can’t leave due to a job or such.
The fact that you live in New York is a huge obstacle to begin with. I would not want that additional hazard in any supposed emergency scenario.
It will be directly targeted by a nuke so if you do somehow survive you’ll wish you didn’t after a day or two 😮
Very wise! For one thing NY is FULL of americans! I'm half a world away, in the best possible position: Australia. Knee deep in potential and big enough to accommodate ANY necessary response. Do yourself a huge favour: consider shifting whether the SHTF thing happens or not.
So Margaret survived 4 seconds after all that training 👍🏻🤣🤣
Margaret needs guns but i bet 100% she is against them lmfao
😂😂😂😂
Margaret has a good mindset but that "training" with the loolipop is ridiculous. The rolled card board base will easily collapse if a strike hits anything hard at all and to be effective you would need to be VERY highly trained over many years. There is quite a bit of difference when people just stand there while you are doing strikes and different techniques on them verses them moving and fighting with you. She should grow her nails to a usable length, BITE, scratch and get a husband.
@@johnleca ... and get a husband so that she could practice on him biting and scratching,
or do you mean that she should get a husband to protect her?
Did anyone notice backpack lady still had the tags still on the pack? Probably returning after this show.
😂😂😂😂
One of the most watched playlist of videos on National Geographic. Wee need more Doomsday Preppers! Double Episodes!! Please!!!
:'-(
I agree itz hilarious!
This episode was all about getting the violin guy his big break
Fast forward to 2023 , theses shows need to air again
I understand bike guy, he did what he thought had to be done at the time. Just never forget, you are not salvaging, you are looting and potentially killing someone else. As such, don't be surprised if your trespass, if caught, cost your life.
Stay strapped or get clapped
@@ryanmcmuffi6137 👍
So don't get caught. The fewer people notice you, the better. Be stealthy.
No need to kill another unless they coming to kill
I experienced 9/11 and Hurricane Andrew and I would have to say being prepared is everything
Can we acknowledge jays PTSD😢 hope he receives healing and therapy
I always enjoy watching the Doomsday Prepper video’s, but they never consider mindset. Preparing your mindset is arguably the most important tool you need to prepare and survive.
New York City would be a prepper's worst nightmare. Densely populated, dependant on the power grid and only a few ways in and out. That's the very last place you'd want to get trapped in.
I spent my first 21 years living in and under this city, and I know it better than most. If you don't get out before, you never will. Don't wait.
Under?
Subway tunnels?
@@alfredlear4141 .. there's a massive city under New York, an almost buried one.. I started in 1975
@@alfredlear4141 .. massive caves & tunnels.. Tons of secrets
That's right! I've been to New York City... and I wouldn't wish it on anybody
Did those guys just steal a random guy's bike for a practice run? 😂😂
nah it was prolly planted
it is nyc after all.
It was apart of the script, a prop.
Is no one asking why Nat Geo is releasing these videos now when they were filmed over 10 years ago? Are we educating the masses?
Ad revenue
Don't be a Qaren 😂
In New York City it's people that you gotta worry about the most... not the weather or the physical exertion of walking out. Best way to escape the island of New York City is by boat. Maybe if you can't beg, steal or borrow a boat then invest in an inflatable kayak or a small one person inflatable raft, for easy storage in a cramped apartment and also easily packing it on foot to the waters edge. Or just a life jacket and swim it. Even if you can walk to a bridge, it will be a free for all. Go by water
I think you’re Spot on,I always thought about that and I think by water is the only way. Especially if you live in Manhattan. Those bridges and tunnels are gridlocked on a regular rush hour. The only way off that island is bridges or tunnels and they can easily be knocked out. If you’re in the water you’re safe from most people and travel will be possible.
I agree, they should move out of New York but if they won’t or can’t, water is definitely the way to leave the city
They just taught us how to steal a bike 😂
I love that jabbing someone in the eye with a lollipop, would be less violent than stabbing someone in the heart.
What
I would be delighted to see more research on the mindsets of doomsday preppers, particularly their upbringing. I believe that understanding their motivations and thought processes could help us to better understand and address the factors that contribute to this phenomenon.
Ptsd, paranoia, the natural instinct to survive
Does the Cuban Missile crisis or the 3 day blackout in November of 65 as a kid. I moved from there in 84. 9/11 is the prime example of what I always thought. Trapped on a island. 9 hours to get 500,000 people out of Manhattan . Civil unrest I personally watch as a kid in Brooklyn in the 60s.
Best bet for the women who will head to the mountains is get west of the Delaware River, then head north.
Aesops fable stuck, also my grandparents were born in the 30s with real struggles growing up. They understood that nothing was certain except taxes and death 😂 they talked about the benefit of self sufficiency in many things as well. I think the phenomena is the normalcy bias, believing that nothing catastrophic can happen because it has not happened before is illogical. As a single woman I never prepped, but as a mother I would rather die a brutal death then watch my children starve to death. I prep so if shtf I can maintain my morality and humanity, share with other parents too. No protein for a child can destroy them even if they do not starve either. The world is so crazy right now I think following US guidelines on emergency preparedness is advisable.
It's not a phenomenon. First it comes from a realization that things can go dreadfully wrong. Also it comes from counting self reliance better than simply depending on the government modern conveniences in society and such and making preparations. Honestly there's an intrigue to it that can be quite addictive. But the government itself is a prepper. They have all sorts of supplies safe locations and protocol as preppers do. It's a security. These days things are plummeting so much and have been that it's only realistic to assume that chaotic events will become much worse. Grant it a lot of preppers get into this at a deep level and sometimes even I find it excessive. But everybody should do some prepping given the realistic possibly that things can go very wrong. Don't merely depend on the grocery stores allowing a food stock to get low every week or 2 and then go back. Get some raw foods considering a well balanced high calorie diet to last a few months and store them properly. It's cheap really. Have some camping and grid power failure supplies like a tent sleeping bag etc. some fire starting supplies candles flashlight and such. Do you have a fire extinguisher or a spare tire? That is prepping. Stay physically fit. Have contingency plans. Learn some basic survival skills rather than relying on the notion that everything is always going to be just fine. And these are basics I feel everybody should pursue especially if you have a family. Imagine having a wife and kids and things get crazy and desperate and throughout all of life a person didn't do any of these things and now doesn't know what to do. Do you want to be that guy who doesn't have any food? Do you want to be that guy who has no idea how to survive in the wild Grow some of your own food and have some seeds maybe. Have some tools. Don't just depend on the mechanic. Learn some diy. It's good to be well rounded. Now the list can go on forever but most of what I mentioned are just basic. This show is painting a narrative that preppers l are in constant fear but most of them aren't fearful at all but simply aware and rather resilient. Food and water, basic wilderness supplies, a few power outage supplies, basic survival skills, a few contingency plans, and whatever you find to fit your circumstances on just a basic level. If you're in the north and have extreme winters a sleeping bag can save your life. But even if you live in the south like me it's wise to have one because there was a grid failure 2 years back during sun zero weather that almost never comes in Texas and people literally froze to death and we're burning their wooden furniture to stay warm. But a sleeping bag would have saved their life without a fire. And I know this because last winter I was camping in 8°F weather and I didn't need anything but a sleeping bag and a sleeping pad to separate me from the cold ground and I was cozy warm watching youtube videos without any need of a fire and slept 7 hours. Make some basic preparations. Never solely depend on others.
did Jay just really walk all night the whole 14 miles in his loafers...!!?
😂😂😂😂
I like how the krav maga instructor reality checks her right off the bat 😂
This is such a cute little show.😂😂😂 I literally watch this with a smile on my face.
32:56 bear detergent. In case you run into a dirty bear.
They’re all doomed.
lmaooooo
I feel less safes just knowing they exist . Might get based asking for the time . And Margaret needs somw sort of permanent security cause I'm not sure she'll last long on a sunny Sunday let alone somw sort of catastrophe. My hope in humanity has been diminished by watching this particular episode . Don't mention the crook consultants . Buddy at thw end said Anton would make a good marine ? Okay
If it really happens, poor Cameron with his adrenaline, would be able to run to the hills. Buying a bike is a good idea.
My former supervisor had to make that extreme uptown hike twice over the years. He was assigned to a lower Manhattan office location that our company had at the time and he resided in Westchester County. During the aftermath of 9/11 as well as the cascading blackout a few years later he had no choice but to start walking several miles uptown to Harlem/Washington Heights neighborhoods before a relative could reach him by automobile to get him the rest of the way. That's roughly a 13 to 14 mile hike but it's unavoidable in the event of an unnatural emergency and public transportation isn't an option.
If they were truly wanting to be prepers the first thing they'd do is get out of the city and go rural or small town living.
That takes a lot of money and time
Shush 🤫
She should have a store unit where a motorcycle or Ebike or more prep supplies as well as more stashes along the way. Get guns.
The best way to bug out of NYC is to simply not be there in the first place. If you have to live there, be ready to get out of there via several different routes. Have a backup plan and have a backup for your backup. I'm not suggesting anyone break the law, but a firearm (preferably legal) would be a real asset. By the time you need it, you'll be beyond caring what the law says.
What if the lollipop bends?🤔
@sheri … I said the same thing.
The lollipop is a terrible idea. Just take something meant to do the job. SMH. Just ridiculous.
Yeah I'd say the odds of escaping new york are very low even for someone well trained and equipped. That place is a death trap. Come out of her my people
This was hilarious thanks I needed a good laugh 🤣🤣🤣
Its a one in one hundred thousand situation 😂😂😂 these people are joke, if they fear so much why arent they leaving? After all, they are not chained to nyc
I agree absolutely
@TopDown these people are posers real peepers prep for everything because everything could happen at anytime but sooner or later SOMETHINGS gonna happen
@@topdown3660 People said the same thing about a Food Shortage, until it started flying off the shelves during the beginning of corona lol. No More Food was coming in, supplies were severely backed up. A lot of my family were laughing at me months prior for buying Bags of rice, canned goods, Even some TP and invested in a bidet. Because I saw what was happening in other parts of the world. They had the same mindset as you. "That hasn't happened before in my lifetime, it's not gonna happen now". Well it did and whose food were they eating and TP they were using? Whose door were they knocking on for those n95 masks? You guessed it... Events like natural Disasters occur all the time, in some areas more than others. Yet people never learn and try to buy everything up before it's too late. My advice to everyone is to prepare for the zombie apocalypse. That means you're essentially prepared for any disaster. Have enough supplies for everyone's needs for at least a week.
Having something to live for is the best thing to have for surviving a shtf scenario
I think somehow it feels a bit more evil to cause grievous harm with a lolly pop than a knife.
It's badass it what it is
The way they act as if during an emergency they’ll even be allowed to travel. 😅
The woman in New York is crazy you can't leave a city while during a hurricane that's suicide
Jay needs to keep running shoes at the office. Those dress shoes will kill him.
Here's a crazy idea...don't live in NYC!!!! You couldn't pay me to live there! I'm in Jersey...and that's to close! And what's up with the violin guy?! They all live by him?! He's freaking me out!!
I noticed crude methods of self defense. That's because the "commoners" in NYC aren't allowed guns. A good reason never to go there.
Eight years clean and sober by the grace of God
“Less conspicuous” *changes into a purple shirt*
Thumbs to pop out eyeballs folks. It's much easier than you think
8:06 the instructor is 100% correct - a knife it's not a gun or something else a knife it's super personal - you have to use it only and only to defend your life, the criminals that uses knife to attack innocent victims are the worst of the worst
I'd bet a paycheck
He did NOT drink that NYC pond water
Used to live in Manhattan and would often think how I'd get out if something happened, basically, short of having a submarine (assuming they werent letting people off so boats and helicopters were out), I had nothing good. It's an island with like 2 dozen bridges and tunnels that a million people would be trying to cross at the same time, and that's if they were letting people out. My best idea was to walk all the way uptown to Inwood where there's less people and hopefully get across to the mainland somehow from there
Have any of them ever heard of a gun?
you think they really stole that bike lmao
A gun would make it much easier to fight off attackers
Guns are illegal to own in NYC
They voted for anti gun Dems they get what they vote for
No need the lolly pop will do
Also want to point out that yes it may be faster to move in a straight line to get to your destination. But you also end up on straight streets for a long time. In the event of avoiding people you wanna take back streets and move under the cover of darkness. If your bug out plan relys on an event such as an earthquake causing a nuclear meltdown. Then youre gonna have a lot more challanges living in a city like new york. A lot more people. A lot more danger. Your best bet is to consider getting into the woods. Although other people might be thinking the same. There are tons of places you can dissapear into and never be found
32:56 bear detergent 😂
There are so many flaws in their theory of"how to survive" it's more of a comedy show than a doomsday scenario. what are the chances things will happen exactly as they plan? almost 0.0001
Harley ??
Don't you have any real life issues for documentaries National Geographic?
@Pal3Blu3Dot90 ok Karen..
If any of these people were serious about their fear of a catastrophe, they wouldn't be living in NYC. No one thought of a hot air balloon?
I think the Chinese might have done... 😅
Oh yeah
I keep one hitched to a phone pole with the Unicorn
@@matthewotremba9230 No, from a rooftop. All you need is a heat source to make the hot air to fill the balloon. It takes too long to get flight-ready from the ground. - too perilous.
@@purewonka but ,,,, what about my Unicorn
The absolutely best option is to get away from these cities, be producing your own food, and build a tribe before anything bad happens. Much easier to "bug in" and defend in a low population density area than it is to escape a city and go where
Was working right by the 59 St Bridge
Hoofed it over to my car in Long Island City
31:54 . I know they were in NY and all in the middle off the night, but are those RATS running behind Margaret?
First things first, relocate find suitable employment equal to your skills and escape from NY becomes a dead issue. I refused to deliver loads to NY State anywhere near a bridge that would lock me into a no escape situation. I would never knowingly or willingly remain anywhere that had the potential to trap me and or my family on an unescapable island.
I’d recommend not road marching in penny loafers 😜
I say a folding bike fitted with concealed survival stuff like a detachable left handlebar with a built-in knife, and bolt cutter. A detachable right side handlebar with perhaps a hidden axe with a hammerhead, the chassis tubing filled with water to drink with a hidden faucet, etc. Bring the bike anywhere you go. I also think that a simple, easy-to-put-on disguise that would give the impression that you are not to be messed with would also help like a special forces tattoo or jacket or whatever to avoid getting attacked.
"She recently moved to New York city from Florida". She is already a survivor.
She needs to survive the city first not fl,..Then maybe.
Florida's not on the same level
@@edcation1945 🤌
Nah she just trying to sharpen her skills in one of the most crime ridden cities in the entire country
She messed up. She should have stayed in Florida 🤣
The most beneficial and most important factor is frame of mind/mindsets and education. Without the right mindset and proper training all plans are useless.
32:55 "Bear detergent." 🤣🤣🤣
I think prepping for this kind of things could be fun like playing a video game but with real elements
Expensive. You need to buy a lot of stuff.
@@rashone2879 A big bag of rice and maybe some beans only costs about 15$ and can feed you for a week.
If you pay enough, I will play cowboys and native americans with you
You can always tell a City type prepper.
Worried about dirty bombs and goes through time square? Logic is flawless
I think you should do a video of Preppers eating stuffed Peppers. 🤔
The chick with the backpack that's hilarious. Why is she getting karate lessons When she could probably fit a bmg50 rifle,a folding chair and a coleman stove in that thing.
Did Jay really say “I’ll make sure to have 3 bullets” at the end? Bruh. Clearly he’s never seen The Mist….. he wants an early exit, that’s on him, but I can’t believe he brought his family into it. I hope he gets some help. Seriously.
Prepping in NY seems futile, the one city you'd need a gun to bug out of is near impossible to get what you need, no way you successfully bug out without a rifle and semiautomatic pistol.
Consider high powered semiauto air powered pistols and pepper ball pistols and paintball guns. Paintball guns have like 200 round capacity without reloading... so what they lack in accuracy and lethality they more than make up for by being able to lay down serious suppressive fire. They become downright deadly when substituting metal ball bearings for paintballs and turning up the gas pressure
@@Mr.No-wo2cp metal ball bearings are far to heavy for paint or air guns to be lethal. If you have what I need you're going to have to kill me to stop me.
In most of these cities/states, any thing that fires a projectile (bb, pellet, airsoft, bow, slingshot etc) & most knives over a usable size are illegal to carry. You have to become very inventive (sock with stones in it, rope with weight). Then again in these situations I would not care about legalities to protect me & my family.
Carry a deadly lollipop 🍭😍😂
This started funny then got all serious.
Imagine intentionally living in a city that actively works to prevent its citizens from actually being prepared 😂
i think i would bug out in the city mayb find a old factory or warehouse
More fears more terror?? They always creates a crisis..why??
Because the night is dark and full of terrors
Control
Opportunity and potential. If you're evil enough you can create a problem sell a solution or use it to fulfill your desires, same is true of a crisis happening before you "never let a good crisis go to waste" is a popular quote on that subject.
i see you guys back when this goes viral
God he’s only 23?! Looks at least 35
Lolly pop sales after this video📈
number one rule don’t tell anyone your preps
17:26 Bruh, they just stole a bike.
Scripted Prop.
I notice something fairly common with these preppers. Many are overweight and out of shape. That's a significant disadvantage. In the Air Force we talked about being "fit to fight." Same idea.
Right ! Also only having a few self defense classes is not enough they need to actually be put into a fight and how will they respond when someone else who has prepped has a knife facing towards them etc
Did she really think she was going to go through Central Park at night, during chaos, in that skimpy dress?
Opening scene where they're all standing with gun, most are toy guns and nerf guns. Yeah that's gonna stop someone.
imagine doing some yoga trying to relax & some chick yells out “i’m preparing for a catastrophic hurricane”
Remember time Is very important during bug out
Imagine when these people saw the mayors “how to survive a nuclear attack” public casting….felt like I was watching something out of a fallout game when I saw that clip….absolutely insane, all of NYC would just vaporize none of you would have a chance to even think of a plan, only thing you can do is not be there….move
That violin busker moves around the city a lot and doesn't seem to sleep much.
Manda um abraço pra toledo paraná Brasil
Vão mandar mesmo é uma 💣 nuclear.
🫂
26:14 dont drink that! it runs through the filter too quickly! which means that the filter is built incorrectly
Why wait to the last minute, get out now
That Blonde lady looks straight out of Fear The Walking Dead.
You stole my bike...
Never thought I would hear New Jersey, the promised land.😅
You should always have a backpack set-up
Good luck getting out when the tunnels, bridges highways are locked down and impassible.
When that guy said Cam on the radio i thought i was gonna hear the Bout it Bout it 3 tune
Forget Captain OCD, this is Army OCD
Mentions Indian Point, shows images of San Onofre, great job editing...
Now they love jersey lol
I’m preparing for the west if. Only thing is I’m going to stay in a place where I’m at highest risk. 😂
