      All due respect, I think you extreme preppers should stop bullshitting yourselves with these concepts of survival and dooms day, why can’t you just admit that you are doing this because it’s so fun and exciting. Don’t get me wrong, I really admire what you guys do, society is so boring nowadays, what you guys do is so exciting, I’m jealous… I’ll probably do that as a hobby when I retire, so I don’t die of boredom lol

    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.

      The age old phrase of "better to have it and not need it then to need it and not have it is so true! A lot of people think that you have to be rich to Prep is a lie. Start with basic things like storing water with certain chemicals to keep to store it for long term, rice, beans peanut butter and corn & regular flour to make tons of bread, and other eatable items and of course can foods.

      Most people will be targets for the small amount of useful stuff they have (not likely to survive an attack), or they will be meat for human trafficking of some sort. Only the super wealthy, relevant government officials, former and current military, and some preppers would last a reasonable amount of time.
      Ideally, a community of cooperative people guarantees survival. Firearms and ammo help the nice people keep and the predators take.

      Speaking of Europe which is actually a huge livable Continent with 45 nations. Russia alone is a ginormous nation which occupies nearly half of Europe with a relatively small population. Nearly half of mainland Asia, from Siberia to Far-East Asia also is inside Russia.
      By the way, the "land grab" is more of the same in Asia-Pacific region where European Colonizers such as Britain and Russia have already Colonized half of Asia, stretching from Australia/New Zealand, to Siberia/Far-East, all in Asia-Pacific region.
      Russia occupied vast resource rich Siberia to Far East ever since 17th & 18th century, while Anglo British, sailing halfway around the world from jolly old England, took over giant resourceful landmass of Australia & New Zealand in 18th & 19th century; all in Asia-Pacific, while Native people of Asia-Pacific region are left with and quarreling over a few tiny islands in South China Sea while Anglo Australia/New Zealand have already claimed big chunks of nearby Antarctica.

    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.

      There is a problem with that, though. I know of an entire family here in Australia who died due to a generator running in their basement (which we call a 'cellar' in Australia). Carbon monoxide poisoning. All issues with relying on electricity too much has its drawbacks. In a true shtf situation, I think it's dangerous to assume you are going to live life with the luxuries we currently have. The old fashioned, pre electric ways are of great benefit to learn.

      @@markchromik1761 All proper off-grid solar power systems have backup parts and redundant batteries and panels. LiFeP04 batteries last an extremely long time. My 300ah Ampere Time is rated at 4000 full charge/discharge cycles to 80% remaining capacity. I got it, panels, inverter, and charge controller for emergency power for a small window air conditioner, especially after hurricanes, plus power for my freezer if its backup batteries can`t keep up in the heat. I can do most of my cooking now too from solar with low wattage devices. Lights are the easy part nowadays. I wish I could figure out how to power my electric water distiller from solar but what I have now has already cost a fortune but I`m glad to have it when the power fails.

Who knows, 3 months later, he could have had a basic battery/solar setup in place, relegating the genny to a backup to the backup (i.e. city power > solar power > generator backup)

    I agree that these peppers are taking a chance on losing their privacy, safety, and security by going on these documentaries and doing these show and tell.
    But, in previous episodes, several participants had lost points for security in that they were highly or overly prepared but had neighbors who were not. These peppers were encouraged to teach their neighbors to be just as prepared or to be more prepared so that when tshtf, the neighbors will not come raiding and looting. Following advice, the previous preppers started facilitating classes, seminars, and workshops for neighbors and other community members to attend.
    I hope it is true that if many more people became Doomsday preppers, we will be safe.

People in Texas know of this with the wonderful wind turbines freezing up a couple of years ago. Even here, in Michigan, we just had a million people without power for days from the ice storm, and now another 300k without power from snow storm last Friday. Population issues? I don't see that happening. But I do see financial crisis. I do see political division. I do see a Great Depression.
