  • I am a doomsday prepper ( I am 12 years of age) BUT I am not like these people. My family is ready for an economical collapse. We have stored enough food for 15 days and enough water for 22 people for 15 days. We think that the shit hits the fan sometime or another. Our bug-out is taking the railroad up to the mountains and living in tents, we fish and hunt with 22 rifles and spears. I have been practicing since I was little and I know that I will be a kid that will pull this country together.

  • @vampireking5576 What about other people, you should have something to kill them too. If need be.

  • I am not a doomsday person but I do think it wise to get off the grid and count on oneself for the future. I think we are moving to a resource based economy so the transition may not be fun. Otherwise I rather die if some stuff they say happens like a solar flare because there will be 73 reactors just in the US melting down. Better to work for the RBE so these things can be prevented using technology and a new system as well as being sustainable.

  • Laugh all you want. Who are you going to turn to? The government? Hahahaha...

  • Im prepping for when the sun goes supernova.

  • Comment removed

  • "doomsday comes"...well...im starvin...hey, I think i'll go through the houses of the obese people and get some buddies to kill whoevers inside...seriously, people dont think about underground that much...so many fatties think it's ok to have to undergound boarded up placed...only lots of food and showing off...see where that will get you...

  • p.s.  Giving up your position and your security plans, along with informing others of your daily preparedness rituals will only decrease your chances of survival... Nice job idiots, your neighbors already know your address and you gave anyone else watching this show just enough info to "Google" your exact location... Yeah, I really want these individuals on my team!!!

  • As many of you have already commented, yes it is the number one priority in preparing for anything in life... Your Health!!! It will be your single greatest obstacle to your survival. If the Military ever has the need to infiltrate The Old Country Buffet I am sure David Sarti and Kellene Bishop will be the team we will turn to complete that Mission. None of the individuals featured on this show have any true survival skills, they are not "Preparedness Pros"

  • Be Careful showing your firearms off on TV. One Prepper got his gun rights taken away already. I will not be surprised if the Prepper who shot his thumb off with a Ruger 1022 will get his guns taken away also.

  • I don't know what that fatass is preparing for but what ever it is, its probably gonna catch before he can get away fast enough to get that rifle out.

  • you are now entering the twilight zone, but in all, you will have to be judged by your action.but one last thing in closing. are you sure it's fact, or is it fiction you by the judge. you can't hide. so you will have to deal with it in your own way ? to all i wish you the best on your decision as of what to do........ semper-fi ooorah

  • good show

  • whats the song?

  • lyrics....lol

  • It doesn't surprise me that they would use this song...

  • Americans are so pathetic!! FUCKING SHEEP WAKE THE FUCK UP STOP BEING CONTROLED AND TAKE CONTROL!

  • 44 people are liberals and saw that 1 photo of guns

  • ...I'm in. >:)

  • Lesson 1 about prepping - STFU about your prepping and don't go on national TV bragging about how much stuff you have.

  • @SunSunSuperFun

    Lol My mom and I were saying the same thing. This one chick was saying something about getting her doomsday stuff delivery only at night, to keep it on the down low... She is doing an excellent job! XD

  • @SunSunSuperFun you know they seized that fat dudes guns right?

  • @JerrySantiago506 Yep, you know it wouldn't have happened had he STFU'd.

  • SOPA and ACTA = "The end of the world as we know it"

  • @Raifaislittlemonster wrong!.. try again..

  • and in the end none of them will survive....

  • Americans are idiots...they just want you to buy tons of unnecessary stuff so they get some money. Good for everyone in the end.

  • @SniperMod90 FUCK YOU!!

  • @TheChipz1 You're a good example. Thank you.

  • If you repent of your sins, and except Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, you wont have to do this crazy stuff.

  • @ThePDCM Yes because the reason God gave me life and Christ died for my sins is for me to let myself perish....

    Joseph:The Original Prepper - Genesis 41-35/36 

  • omg, I grew up as a JW kid and we did not prep for the material world, this is very entertaining. we had bibles that was it.......balance people, balance.....signed, three bottles of water and a gluten free bar that should do it. lol.

  • I hope a nuke comes and lands right on these guys house

  • They will die of obesity first

  • @MadameMao1 lol 

  • @MadameMao1 yep that one lady is "killing her family with the fork".

  • You know the end of the world is coming when you see fat people running...

  • @MadameMao1 LMAO... nice!

  • Got my gas mask (s) too.........lol.

  • lol

    

  • Wtf are they talking about? End of the world? Dude get real!

  • i'm a prepper too! jk im normal.... -.-

  • @haoqh thats funny, I thought in sociology we learned there are no norms and that deviance is based on the observer..... damn that education! I guess Ill go with your intellectual statement.

  • i'll be good if the world ends; i played Fallout.

  • lol the things country bunking do amuse me. how ever it's bad for the us cause thats how the rest of the world sees us -_-

  • It's funny, these Americans can fully prepare their entire family for any sort of SHTF event, but they can't take time to get into shape. They won't do too well when they have to hike through a forest carrying 100 pounds of tacticool survival equipment.

  • @Mattt1245 who the hell is dumb enough to do that?..... The general prepper Idea is to stay burried in not run around like a 'tactitool'. Are you one of those guys that buys a 2,000 ar-15 because will hayden blessed it with his tools then roll around in the dirt and act like if something does happen your taking to the forest with only your gun and backpack? your a fool and a dead one at that if so. this man may die of a heart attack before anything happens.

  • @michaelofnewbabylon I don't really get what you're saying, but the people may have to bug out. If they are the only one's in the neighborhood with food, water, gas and power, and meanwhile everyone is living in the dark, they will get raided. There will be a literal mob, and it doesn't matter if how many bullets you have, the people will prevail. Then they have to bug out with all their stuff. And then they get out of breath and get lost in the forest.

  • @Mattt1245 why would you have to bug out? fukushima type stuff? there are people that have never left the area around the plant and they are fine as are their pets. if you have to take off on foot your chances of survival just hit the floor.

  • @michaelofnewbabylon I mean really what are you going to run from? especially on foot, and your wrong about the mob. during LA riots korean store owners protected their stores from thousands of people with just hunting shotguns. scientologists protected their center with just baseball bats and hammers. why do you think the military waves their guns at threats, it causes 1 of 2 reactions either they shoot at you or they give up.

  • @michaelofnewbabylon Could be, that's what some of these people prepared for, (the first episode is on youtube). I think just stuff like raiders, a mob chasing you, nuclear meltdown, zombies, flying dog-bats, need to find food/safety/safe zone etc. I found it funny how some people have the will to prepare their entire family for any kind of doomsday event, yet they don't have the will to keep in shape.

  • @Mattt1245 so youd rather take on raiders with no cover or knowledge of your surroundings? good plan. nuclear meltdown Im going to drive not walk a mob chasing me ? did I like go somewhere without my mak-90? that sounds like a nightmare I had once actually.... I dont subscribe to the whole zombie thing but once again Id rather have my nice cushy reinforced farm than be on foot. Don't have to find food safety or safe zone because they are at the fortress I built at home :)

  • @Mattt1245 and the people that have families and are going through that drilling are in shape, the fat guy you talk about is solo.

  • @Mattt1245 that is a beautiful paragraph you wrote, I could not have said it better, zombies, right.....do they like reeses like ET's I better get some of those.....lol.

  • @Mattt1245 I'm trying to understand your logic here.... So shtf happens, you are only one with power in neighborhood (one of the main goals of a prepper is to get their block involved) and

  • @michaelofnewbabylon your idea is to take your stuff out in the open to these mob's. I cant see the logic in leaving somewhere I know like the back of my hand and could have

  • @michaelofnewbabylon been making defense preparations, for the open wilderness..... just seems stupid unless no other choice.

  • @michaelofnewbabylon Also what does getting lost in the forest have to do with obesity? never new obesity impaired land navigation skills.... lol

  • @Mattt1245 but atleast its on his terms, not just "oh everything will be ok" as the bombs are falling. people want to talk shit about him but atleast he is preparing to take care of himself unlike all the other burdens men like him are going to have to protect his stuff from because they are too busy texting, or playing stupid video games.

  • Go find another planet to live on because if earth goes down you all go down with it no matter what! Stop wasting your time on this and go do something better, because it's NOT gonna happen so, give the money or tanks of food you have stored to the needy so they can have a better life ...

  • @koolgoose2

    People can do what they want with their money. Best part of this is whatever they're preparing for, if something more likely happens (Natural Disaster), they'll be ready while everyone else takes FEMA's load

  • @koolgoose2 who says the earth is going to 'go down' ? we could have survived if the dinosaur extinction event happend now. we could survive nuclear war, all they are preparing for is when wal-mart isn't there to sell you shit chinese crap and mexican shit produce. I mean there have been bad situations all the time how could you be so dense that you think NOTHING can happen? our dollar is collapsing, it slowly being taken out as the reserve currency.

  • @michaelofnewbabylon you know what ITS NOT GONNA HAPPEN first of all......dollar goes up and down, just with all the propaganda there is a hype about it...

  • @koolgoose2 the dollar has been dropping in value for the last 100 years, its so devalued now that it costs 11 cents to make 1 penny. So tell me how much was bottle of coke in 1955? exactly.... in the 90s you could get a brand new car for under 10,000.00 they have doubled in price since then and minimum wage has gone up 2 dollars since then... is it sinking in yet? look at what our money is worth against gold, almost nothing.

  • @koolgoose2 Im not saying it will happen, I'm saying it could very easily end up being like germany where the currency is burned rather than firewood because its cheaper.

  • @koolgoose2 how will you go buy your genetically altered, nutrient free food from the freezer section if your money is worth ohhhh lets say what the mark was worth just this last century. Germans burnt their money instead of firewood because their money was cheaper to burn, it was 10.00 for a cup of coffee 80 years ago! imagine what would happen in this country if gas was 10.00 a gallon now. food has gone up 35% every year for 3 years straight now. wages have gone down......

  • Comment removed

  • They look crazy, but you know, it's better than what most Americans do in their off-time. Sitting on their asses all day watching TV...

  • "Preppers", did NatGeo do any research before filming? Preppers sounds like the nickname for someone who drinks to much Dr. Pepper.

  • Comment removed

  • Just another reality TV show, huh? :/

  • americans...

  • @BuKuTyyy Eurofags...

  • The stress of the "switch being flipped on the world" would flip the switch for his cardiovascular system.................

  • Hell ya! Preppin! The new national pass time! Who loves ya baby!

  • @Halftrac hey I had a head start in my dysfunctional religious family....bible (rice paper you can eat it or read it) water and REM songs.....lol. I hear ya those people are a bit extreme. I hope the plump preppers don't inherit the paradise...hahahahahhha.

  • What's the song that's used in the other commercial? Not this one.

  • i love how my top comment is a response to the top comment, so no bitching now that the top comment is a response and you cant find what i was responding to.......im a thoughtful person and packaged them nicely for you all.

  • I'm going to do this too, underground, unregesterd copper coverd base, bby.

  • PEACE 

  • LoL prepare your whole life for DooMsDaY ... and when it happens they are the people SHOOTIN SHIT UP!!!

  • the world isnt going anywhere.we are. pack your shit folks

    -george carline

  • white people fucking fail lmaoooo!!! we can do better then this

  • Good thing the world isn't going to end.

  • No bonker, fallout shelter can food radiation suit, whatever you have, cannot save you from our Earth's wrath. Once Our Mother planet figures out that we're a disease, it'll get rid of us.

  • @GunnyZoSo Well we seem to have a pretty retarded mother, because we've been fucking shit up since the beginning of civilization.

  • Learning to survive in cases of emergencies is not bad, but these assholes think the end of the world is this magical, wonderful thing that should be treated like a birthday party, they will probably be the first to die if the world goes to shit, join the military if your serious about surviving and firing a weapon properly not like these hillbillies!

  • @deltaenforcer93 most of them are vets and it dosent take combat training to know how to use a rifle properly, look at most of the rebels in other nations they have no training and the still fight off huge armies.

  • @deltaenforcer93 lmfao, although hillbilly status sounds boss.

  • Happy to see preparation and self-sustenance becoming more mainstream - but I'm not sure I like the vibe of the show - let's how they don't try to make them look like kooks.

  • i cant weight

  • OMG!!! They ARE all Fat! WTH???

  • All I can say is... you guys are a bunch of sheeple. While you are being led into the Fema camps and given your "daily rations" I will be out here on my homestead with meat, eggs, milk cheese and veggies getting FAT! It amazes me that there are still so many simple minded people left in this world. Do you really believe that your 9-5 job is going to last forever? Have you really looked at what is going on around you in this country? Maybe it WOULD be best if some of you were to just vanish..

  • @SciFiChick092 They do not understand that it is already happening. If i hadn't of killed, cleaned, and frozen a deer this year I wouldn't have meat. I lost my job and have discovered it is impossible to have enough money to buy meat if your entire income is an EBT card. Sure I will find work again soon perhaps, but untill then I'm very happy I invested in a compound bow and ATV when I had work. My favorite thing about the compound bow is reuseable amunition. Fixed blade brhd

  • @andrewsheldonreeves What exactly is "already happening"? I'm glad you can go hunt your own meat, but just because you lost your job doesn't mean doomsday is "happening". People have been losing jobs for thousands of years. If you don't want to be on welfare, I know a dozen businesses that are hiring... tech jobs and physical labor jobs. Go get one.

  • @culwin The economy is on life support. It is propped up by stimulus. When those stimulus dollars eventually make it into the market it causes rapid inflation. This process has been repeated over and over. It is most noticible in the size of a jar of jelly or pretty much any good you get from wallmart. You pay the same price but get less. Thus the money is worth less. And it is out there for people to see that the dollar is dyeing and if it were not for stimulus it would collapse.

  • @andrewsheldonreeves but you see the problem is that every time more dollars are printed it kicks the ecomomic meltdown a little down the road. but every time the ecomomy is bailed out more and more has to be printed to acomplish the same goal. Because the currency is backed by the air it is promised on it's only real value is scarcity. It is a fact that this printing and inflation can not go on forever. And I believe it is in my best interest to become self relient.

  • @andrewsheldonreeves and it would do you good to learn to fend for yourself as well because it builds moral character and a relience ans love of yourself that if you are stuck relying solely on the system you will never understand.

  • @andrewsheldonreeves You should sign up to be on this show. That could be your job.

  • @SciFiChick092 You should seek psychiatric help. You sound like Pol Pot.

  • not one person notices that fat guy with the gun talking about EMP'S is from youtube

  • That looks fun for some reason.

  • Those poor kids.

  • @culwin have u ever watched taboo when they interveiw a family whose father was an online "sex god". i feel worse for that family. these kids get the play with guns and learn how to live off the land, im sure they dont mind. lol

  • @MrUSA96 I was kind of thinking about the family they show in hazmat suits running around doing drills. I seriously doubt that is "fun" for the kids. And I wonder how much money some of these people waste on their delusional doomsday prepping. Sorry you couldn't go to college, kids, we bought a doomsday bunker.

  • @culwin personally i think those people are smart for prepping like i do, its not just 10 grand in food, ammo and spare parts it insureance just like you have on ur car and home

  • @MrUSA96 I agree. But the trendy new age generation doesn't get it.  Government will not be there to feed them when real disaster strikes. They think 1 weeks worth is all the food they need. 3 months worth really is the bare minimum along with a semi-auto .22 and 5,000 rounds ammo.

  • @andrewsheldonreeves i like having my ar15 but if u like the 22 more power to ya, im 17 and no one else my age gets that you need to prep and protect the things that matter most.

  • @andrewsheldonreeves you have really thought it thru, you are probably more right that what we are told......take a book, bible, milton, blake, comics whatever you will need a deck of cards or a book. shakespeare....?

  • @MrUSA96 wow 10 grand, you spent that, wow respect dude...really? wow.

  • okay guys so when we all become brain eating zombies we know who to devour first!

  • They're preparing for the wrong thing. It's the zombie apocalypse that they need to worry about.

  • Some of them folks look prepared to offer themselves as food for their kids. Kind of a gruesome survival prep. Or I'm reading the video incorrectly. Just assuming that preparation involves being in good physical shape. The best preparation for anything begins with a desire for no catastrophe to occur, by the way...

  • imagine if real shit hits my computers fan, dang tat wud be sooo doomsday for me!

  • @ulfenstyle for real huh, how are you gonna jackoff after the world ends if u got shit in ur computer

  • i thought the title was "doomsday peppers"

  • @angrycanadian8 it's on this Tuesday at 9. my fam liked the idea of seeing PBS Ken Burns Prohibition it was GREAT. but they cannot see how bizarre and amusing this will be yet. a series a three part or one show I do not know yet.

  • Seriously, imagine if a piece of shit hits the fan. Wow..........

  • No offense, but if that guy was really dedicated to this doomsday survival cause, he would get into shape

  • @StopFlaggingVideos hey dont make fun of him........we need fat people to slow the zombies down.

  • @masterman3178 Ha! Did you ever see the movie, The Crazies? What did you think?

  • @takepart it was ok not the best movie.

  • @StopFlaggingVideos he's just storing some fats for a long journey of starvation and famine

  • @ASIANBOYZPRODUCTION oh my god i didnt think of that. that smart bastard

  • @StopFlaggingVideos any fat prepper is really just a compulsive shopper and a hoarder that just has a "theme" to thier illness.

    SHTF+FATTIES=DEAD

  • @StopFlaggingVideos I know. I think half of these people are a bunch of fat asses espically that women.

  • @StopFlaggingVideos lol, he's not going to need to eat his rations for a year or so. 

  • As you heard on the commercial, there are all kinds of things that can go wrong in our world. It's THOSE things that I'm preparing for. I think there's a heck of a lot more honor in preparing to take responsibility for one's own health and well-being than sitting back and waiting for someone else to help out. There's a little prepper in all of us--it starts with a savings account or a retirement account, or maybe a spare tire. But it's all about preventing unnecessary misery and discomfort.

  • what a load of crap, go see all these dooms day people and say if you really believe the world is going to end and we are all going to die on a certain date, tell them you'll be round a week before for them to sign away and for you to take away all of their belongings, they won't need them and if they REALLY believe they won't have a problem with it. How many do you think will take up up on the offer?? NONE!!!

  • WHATTTTTTTTT

  • all of the dads in this video are compensating for something if you catch my drift.

  • There was a Reuters story on preppers on Friday the 20th. As of the 22nd, it was the most read story on the Reuters' site. As of this morning the 23rd, it was still listed as the most commented on article, with 300 comments and counting. Looks like National Geographic has hit on a hot topic right on time.

  • smart people, and looks like a great show :)

  • Fuk if were going to just die

  • @Taco133912 going into the history book without a fight are you? hmm... well enjoy your dirt nap. I'm going to fight to survive. To do otherwise would defy my biology.

  • These people collecting massive amounts of food will either:

    a) Eventually run out and then get screwed.

    b) Be targets for murder and theft

    If you don't know how to procure your own food then you'd eventually get screwed in such a situation.

  • @thegoodlocust shotgun kill deer. when ammo runs out a compound bow works just as good. gardening is great most places in the south. There are plenty of things you can do to effect your survival. If it could be just one then buy 2 semi auto .22 cal rifles such as the ruger 10/22 and 10,000 rounds of ammo. Call it a $500 life insurance policy for you and your friends. those 25 round magazines work wonders and a .22 goes in and tumbles causeing it to transfer all it's energy.

  • Haha notice how their all white and live far in the country side.

  • Too bad most of them are fat.... and have medical problems which can cause them to die

  • Ahhh shit, so pump for this stuff mate!

  • Our Government is preparing for an economic collapse... so why cant we???

  • @marktakacs it's not trendy.

  • @marktakacs that is good point. I cannot shoot the broadside of a barn....and my plants do not grow well.....I can cook....I can tell jokes and sing......traveling carnival?

  • Only white people..

  • @agahajak are smelling the shit being handed to us by government. collapse is happening in slow motion. be prepared.

  • World is gonna ... Derp!

  • The world will not end in 2012... (Matt. 24:36) All those who are creating bunkers will not be able to hide from his wrath (Rev. 6:16). Plus when the Lord does come nothing will be left for anyone to survive anyway (Zep. 1:3, 2 Thes. 2:8). The Lord will take his people and consume with fire everything else. Have fun with your packs of food if they make it past the melting heat stage of his coming (2 Pet. 3:12).

  • So American :P

  • If the world actually ends, what the fuck would I be preparing for? ...Silly humans..

  • @phillisthebarbarian Look around. Unfortunately that's how most of the country's population is. Its gonna be especially hard on them.

  • All those excessively overweight people would be screwed once shtf. They would either eat up their rations to quickly and starve, not have enough calorie intake and send their body into shock, get killed by others who are worried of them eating their rations, get killed by starving survivors who view them as a plump feast to be consumed, and not be able to outrun most threats just to name a few. All that time and money spent but no brains to get in better physical shape. I'll inherit their gear

  • @ANGELSRAGE77 I hear that, they have not shown any mental/spiritual discipline in the past.....

  • I hope I go quick...this sort of thing verges on the edge of insanity.

  • We are going to become extinct but I am sure this will happen because we will evolve!

  • this is just another natgeo show for the government to make a certain group of people look crazy... you did a good job making hunters and outdoors men look like a bunch of asshole criminals that do nothing but poach... i am disappointed

  • At least the last people in the world will be the fattest people in the world as well.

  • facepalm

  • @tonycl568

    You would rather die than be around people who were smart enough to prepare and survive? I think you're the real idiot.

  • 0:38

    this guy honestly plans on outrunning the zombies?

  • If the doomsday comes true, I rather die than living among those idiots.

  • The zombie invasion is coming

  • @jrm21386 yes indeed, get the card tricks ready.....

  • That woman sure has stocked an incredible amount of fat in case she ever needed to survive unfed for an apocalypse or two.

  • did you see how many fat ppl were on the show?? She'll be dropping any a LB once the SHTF...

  • i used to live in a 3 world as a kid there were times when we didnt have food but there were plenty of wild birds and other animals to eat we learn to eat plants and we survived so this all doom and gloom shit is funny to me. those who use their head will live . towns will join other towns to trade goods no need for a government
