  • The only way to extend survival is to isolate yourself with food and water ->____.

  • grow more weed,roll up a fat one take a deep breath and set back and enjoy the show. keep a ice chest full of cervesa on hand

  • song?

    

  • is it me but does this vid sound like a PSA or one of those annoying commericals they show before the vid starts

  • consider this you spent years preparing....only to blow it all by being tard enough to go on national tv and tell the world.....preppers...no

    attention whores....yup...could be

  • Paranoia.

  • I read the book "One Second After" - it describes how our lives would be altered by an EMP nuk detonated in our atmosphere..it is fiction and it makes you think about all the little things we take for granted..antibiotics, insulin, food and security. If all electronics in the world stopped there would be no way to produce medication, ship it, store it package it. Just made me realize that these folks might be more prepared then most but that doesn't make them crazy, just better informed. IMHO

  • Love how at the end of each story, they are given a "report card" and we the viewers are told in every single instance that these people are nuts..cause the possibility of a .. "emp, oil shortage, economic collapse..etc isn't plausible, possible or ever gonna happen cause A. B or C are covering it..meaning..don't prepare and let the government take care of you ..thats right...go back to sleep and keep believing that they aren't covering their butts..I'd rather be prepared - who is it hurting?

  • I want to learn how to do this but it takes a lot of money I am disable and only have one leg so help me plz

  • holy crap does ANYBODY know what song this is?

  • @SageRai I think if you freeze meat it will last indefinately. But you also need electricity to run the freezer so that's it's Achilles heel lol.

  • @codehackerzane btw why doesnt the great advice givers on the show ever tell them hey dummy if there was ever a em pulse that ur car be useless n that walking 2 ur other location be a waste of time,also being the over use of the term bug out, n **** hitting the fan,when do u really hear people say dumb stuff like that,not even n the movies even the bad ones on the syfy channel do u ever hear people use that term.Dont get me wrong I love the show,but sometimes this show comes off as being corny.

  • Comment removed

  • This show is highly intriguing. True it's extreme, but my god this show is giving me a lot of information. I didn't know you could store meat and food for that long, 20 years man that's great.

  • whats the name of the song?!?!?!?

  • @funboys429 Sounds sorta like Cicada- The Things you say (dirty south remix)

  • I wear my seatbelt. I wonder if that makes me a "crazy survivalist".

  • What's the song that starts at 0:08?

  • @Dunam1551 Sounds sorta like Cicada- The Things you say (dirty south remix)

  • MATTHEW 24:36

    

  • WE DON'T KNOW THE DAY OR THE HOUR UNTIL THE FATHER COMES 24:36

  • TRUST IN JESUS, AND HE WILL SAVE YOU!!!

  • @neptunesism ...Don't forget the parable of the 10 virgins.. some didn't prepare and didn't have oil for their lamps and expected the others to give them some. I think we are all accountable until the end.. We need to do what we to in order to survive.. while at the same time trusting God!!

  • @neptunesism Shut the fuck up.

  • @cchhrriiss852 I think they build it up a little bit over time. Unless they're millionaires and went out and bought it at once lol

  • where the hell do they get the money for all this?

  • Consider this scenario: you slip on ice and fracture your spine, you get in a wheelchair, forced to lay off from work and not have any income. Your wife is also forced to resign from work to sit with you at home to take care of you as a full time job. Your 9 years old daughter is looking at you and says: Dad I am hungry and we have nothing to eat.

  • @BrainWavesVillain

    Easy answer; Eat the kid.

  • @BrainWavesVillain Dude you can laugh all you want but if this stuff happens they'll be laughing

  • @gumbopuck They won't be laughing long... I know where they live, and have more guns than they do. Besides It's a waste to store food like they are because contrary to what they believe preserved food doesn't last forever. Probably about 3 years at most before it turns to canned mush. Even military rations only last about 3-5 years.

  • hi i'm trying to get People to join my varolo village it is free to join and and only takes 10 to 15mins a day check out my page to join up

  • This shit is not about 2012 it is about any catastrophic event. But to hoard and stockpile shit and actually televise nationwide is doing nothing but making theirselves and their family a "HUGE" target. The big lady is already a target and like someone said I hope she os a great shot shot case she ain't outrunning anything. And personally I hope she gets it good. Like decapitation and dismemberment

  • Ilook at her fat stanking ass bitch I hope she has a massive heart attack

  • LOL that fat bitch is zombie lunch, cardio bitch!

  • 2012 is just a big hoax to keep the people distracted, it will never happen. I wonder how stupid these people will feel after.

  • All that preparation and farming looks like it would totally suck. I'd rather take a nuke to the face.

  • A fire would ruin the "prepper dream", and to think some of these fear mongers want something to happen so they can "implement" their system. I am all for planning ahead, but this is yet another example of taking something too far.

  • @pjicleanair420 - They are indeed, fear mongers.

  • It's really too bad that people such as Kellene Bishop focus SO much on staying alive in the event of a disaster but yet put none of that energy into their health by staying fit and healthy. You're going to be in quite the predictament if you're unable to get the medications that your body will most assuredly need once it, as you say, "hits the fan." I really hope you're a great shot because there's no way you're going to outrun anyone!!

  • you call them crazy now but when your starving in the streets or when zombies are munching or brains :P what will you do, joking on the zombie part ;) ........

    or am I (-.O)

  • @ZeZombieKiller - You may joke about zombies, but many folks think their real. I for one, barely let the word zombie become a part of my vocabulary, and I never speak of zombies in conversation. That is the difference between a rational human being, and a weirdo.

  • @RoninHawk why do you think I keep blunt weapons in my closet and several tons of plywood and nails in my backyard and I'm really not kidding, i actually do

  • @ZeZombieKiller - I dont really care why. If you even speak remotely candid about zombies, then youre a weirdo.

  • @RoninHawk Have you never seen a zombie at walmart before?

  • @3sixty4five7 - Nope

  • Can someone please tell me what the dubstep/techno song is? Please? Thanks.

  • Need food reserves? We have delicious 20 year shelf life dehydrated ready made meals packed in mylar bags. Free $30.00 sample pack so you can try before you buy. Check it out survivalfoodkit . com

  • Like all reality TV shows, they try and find the most outrageous, over the top people to show the world this goes on. I found the show quite interesting and it makes you totally think about just normal things that go on instead of the end of the world scenario. I found some of the canning and food storage of meats prep to be fascinating, and want to learn those techniques in food storage. It's one of those, oh wow, I had no idea you could do some of this stuff!! Love the show.

  • this show is a psy-op to make preppers look like total whack-jobs and crazies. it tells the unprepared masses exactly what they wanna hear, that preppers are crazy, and NOTHING will ever happen.

    they try to be sly as they discredit all the preppers, and the catastrphies they prep for. the last thing you hear on the show is the announcer telling you that the events discussed are impossible, will never happen, go back to sleep.

  • @asssface2000 Uh huh. You know, just because you are paranoid, that doesn't mean everyone isn't out to get you.

  • Some people's response to this stuff is pretty funny. Most "preppers" don't necessarily believe the world is gonna end in 2012. Most folks that do "prep" are pretty normal about it and do it as a means of insurance in case something does happen. There are obviously people who are obsessed with something happening and prepping for it. But most of us just have a good plan and a little bit of insurance. I like the show because some of it hits angles people havent thought of.

  • There is one hillbilly preparing for an EMP...he needs to play mw3 and see it's not all bad...just use assassin pro :o

  • everyone of you should read this...fiverr com /veryhip4u

  • I keep trying to find this to watch on the nat geo website and all i can find are short clips of the series... wtf?

    I don't have television. Anyone know where I can watch the NEW series online?

  • @NostalgicLink it's not out yet...you can search youtube and find longer snips that people have uploaded, but the nat geo site hasn't put it out there in full episodes yet. Just search doomsday preppers, you'll see pieces of the full episodes.

  • There will be no "end of the world" or rapture. You people are wasting your time. December 21 will come and pass and life will go on.

  • @freethinker424 The bible says that rapture will come some day (could be soon, could be in 100 years, could 1000 years, nobody knows) and all the holy people will be taken up to heaven. down on earth, the shit will hit the fan, and if these people don't believe in GOD, well, I guess they are ready for it.

  • @101belowzero And if the bible is wrong?

  • @LordVaranorDagoth not really sure, im only 15 but im pretty sure no matter what happens, we wont be alive for it. I know its a dark way of thinking but if you dont have a heaven to go to, then whats the long term point of life. It would be pointless. Even if the bible is wrong, it gives people a reason to be kind and giving and not to be assholes because they think we all die and fade to blackness. Its up to you weather to believe in the bible and follow JC.

  • Freaking retards in here. Iran is no more of a threat to us then Iraq was. They have a crummy military compared to ours and they don't want to start a war with us since they know it would be their end. No one except the elites of our society would benefit from a war with Iran.

  • Heres my question about all of this. If the world is indeed going to end....and I mean if it really fucking ends....then what are these people hoping to survive? If the Earth becomes some level of a decimated wasteland, then there will be nothing left for anyone to survive for. It may take several hundred years for the Earth to recooperate from this, and all of these preppers and their offspring will be dead before that time anyway.

  • @RoninHawk Yea, because things like hurricanes, cold fronts where people lose all power and roads become impassible, and earthquakes never happen. Plus with how our country is being run at the moment hyper inflation is a possibility. Those few things alone could lead to weeks if not months of lost of civil services if serious enough. And hyper inflation would affect the whole country, not just a region affected by a severe natural disaster. When people get hungry, they get desperate.

  • @Cookies205 - Those things do not constitute a Doomsday scenario.

  • @Cookies205 - Also, what you describe are common natural events that happen almost every year. They dont require a preppers level of preparedness to survive. Furthermore, preppers like to use Katrina as an excuse for their silliness, despite the fact that Katrina's effect happened under very specific circumstances that likely wont occur in their area.

  • @RoninHawk Yes but for instance I live in southern california and we are overdue for an 8.0 or higher, and that could seriously hinder food supply to much of the state, having some weapons and extra food and water could never hurt anyone, and neither could prepping to these levels to be self sustainable. Some people just want to take it farther than others for peace of mind, it doesn't mean they're crazy.

  • It is a little off to compare it to car insurance when by law we are supposed to carry when owning a car. Other than that it is just wise to have something aside that could care you though a rainy day . Or even if you wish to helps someones elses rainy day.

  • They said Noah was crazy when he built the Ark. So let them prepare. If they need it then they have it. If they don't need it then at least it gives them peace of mind. I'm watching for ideas!

  • These people are dumb as fuck! Yeah the worlds gona end december 31st 2012! Oh I forgot the calender starts back over duh!

  • @PABLOBARBICI December 21st

  • @neptunesism just another day to me,when this day passes like they did last year and this year they will just pick n find another day to say the worlds going to end because I guess people have nothing else to do than worry about something thats either going to happen or not,n the end who really cares,people only prepare because it makes them feel better,all u really doing in post ponying the inevitable n maybe just hoping for the best n the long run being what it is n a nutshell,

  • I don't have nat geo any one know where i can stream it live

  • Comment removed

  • The first rule of fight club is: You do nottalk about fight club!

  • BE CAREFUL WHO YOU TELL ABOUT YOUR FOOD STORAGE!!!!!!!!!!!

  • If the world ends im gonna kill that fat lady just to prove she wasn't that prepared idk why but I really hate fatties

  • Neat! I am so watching this. A bit extreme, and the people seem a but nutty, but totally cool.

  • WHO WOULD WANT TO LIVE AFTER DOOMSDAY!?!

  • Jesus saves....1-877-567-8989 or 1-800-78grace!!!

  • If EVERY person would PLANT fruit trees, or pecan trees, or berry bushes...WHY do these preppers who own all of that land not use it to plant fruit trees? If it wasnt for fruit trees during the Great depression, many would have gone to bed with nothing in their stomachs. Please, encourage everyone to plant fruit trees.

  • @FruitTrees4Life lolol seem like you loooove fruit trees. fruit is awesome.

  • Putting food away, protecting your family and life sustaining supplies and becoming self sufficient

    is another form of LIFE INSURANCE.

  • lol how sad there are people like this

  • fuck natgeo, they are just trying to make truthers look bad with this show

  • you ever get caught up in a bad situation you become a prep-er afterwards

  • dead not dad lol

  • You fat bitch share your food God forgive me for talking about this fat women she is a fat lieing pig for lieing about her house an now she has all that food you fat cunt ahhhhh lol have a nice day fat bitch i will most likely be dad when shit hits the fan but you will have your sweet fat twinkies dont you feel lucky

  • Some commenters should be aware that MOST preppers don't think "It's the end of the world" and they aren't crazy. There are things that can happen realistically which would make a drastic impact on the way we live, hyper-inflation, nuclear attack from a country like Iran, etc. None of these scenarios are unrealistic or "crazy". A prepper is merely stocking supplies and learning skills needed IN CASE something did happen, just like you buy car insurance IN CASE of an accident. Its responsibility

  • @cjg0815 This is why we Marines have QRF quick reaction forces and I totally agree!

  • @cjg0815 Iran attacking U.S is realistic !!! hahaha this reminds of WMD lies of Iraq

  • @cjg0815 i totally agree with you ... but, a nuclear attack from a country like iran?? just to remind everbody ... who was at least the only country on earth using an atomic bomb?

  • @FrAgMaN007 Yeah...I know Iran isn't ready with nuclear capabilities yet, but they're not too far off and intelligence officials said they'd be willing to attack the US. Would they have the balls to? Probably not. Could we cut off an attack before it happened? I'd like to think so. But all it takes is 1 high altitude nuclear missile to shoot out an EMP that could change life as we know it. So when I said Iran, it was more of a look down the road, not at present.

  • @cjg0815 Yeah expect buying car insurance is something everyone has to do and it isn't even close to as time consuming as prepping for nothing.

  • @cjg0815 You're right. Notice the new name for survivalists? "Doomsday" brings to mind Chicken Little's who think the sky is falling, & "Preppers" makes them sound similar to other groups that are labeled for ridicule; truthers, birthers, fringers, etc. I guess they want the masses to belittle & ridicule anyone who tries to be prepared; to view them as crazy. I imagine it will work. Most people are very susceptible & gullible to corporate media propaganda.

  • I'm surprised Cody Lundin isn't on this show.

  • I am so looking forward to this one.

  • this series looks freaking awesome!

  • AMERICA

  • Curious about the song as well... Anyone have a clue?

  • Well.. it was only a matter of time before they sought out and exploited the very extreme few.

    These people might go overboard, but you're crazy not to have something aside for "a rainy day".

  • Congratulations Corey on this production. I eagerly await its airing for me to see your work!

  • uhh, i dont think i want to be 100 pounds overweight when crazy cannibals and desperate gun toting madmen are walking the streets...

  • Why bug out and we should be bugging in? What ever happened to united we stand divided we fall?

  • @swedishvolvo Yeah, they divided us a long time ago.

  • It NEVER hurts to be ready. You will have food just in case. You can defend yourself,just in case. I think some folks are in denial of the possibility of such an event. Remember the ant and the grasshopper...

  • I want to live with them! :O My parents refuse (and I literally mean REFUSE) to even get a first aid kit. I think they're TRYING to get us all killed. I mean even if 2012 doesn't happen fires and floods still do! COME ON!

  • Please see my video "2012 Are you in the loop?" for another type of view.

  • Comment removed

  • What is the techno song in the videoooo???

  • They're terrorists!!!...smh

  • Who is John Galt?

  • odd but informational

  • Nothing will help when GOD decides to End it!

  • @3martijns you're joking...right?

  • @ThomasTheCure If you think that, the Joke is on you! LOL.

  • @3martijns oh, so you are an ignorant bible-thumper then. nice to know i was right. :)

  • @ThomasTheCure Everybody Will Know Truth Only When the World Ends!

  • @3martijns riiiiiight...

  • @3martijns who said god was going to end it? There are a few people in this world that could end it all and they are far from a good

  • @1010Zayzay OK so maybe GOD Will Allow that to Happen! His Choice!

  • anybody know what techno song they use in this??

  • I love watching people express their insanity on national television. I would categorize this along with Hoarders: Buried Alive. Why can't people attach themselves to the beauty of mankind instead of it's demise. It seems like every decade we try to created false theories off the top of our head to convince us that we are doomed. But, I guess the demise of mankind is what sells these days.

  • @xxMisterJxx wow your a homo.

  • @shinjason ok?

  • Folks, it makes little sense to continue preaching virtues of 'Preparation' to those want no part of it. They will find any reason, no matter how nonsensical, to refute any justifications you present.

    The best way to approach this is to be the Good Example. Be the person with the level head. Be the person with eyes wide open. Be the person with an objective understanding of history & world events. Be the person who simply explains what they're doing & why without trying to sell something.

  • To all the peoples living in a bubble, major disasters can and will occur ANYWHERE. It is the responsibility of ALL the Heads of each house to prepare for a worst case scenario. Our Lord the Christ, The Son of God is coming and he has told us what to expect before his arrival and it is occuring just as written in the Bible. Time to repent of the old ways of this capitalistic society.

  • @REV7verse9

    The first two sentences are true. The rest is speculation. According to the Bible and your religion, you don't know what is coming next. Many societies have collapsed for various reasons since the bible was put into writing BY MAN. The Bible, itself, has been edited BY MAN. If you want to take a document that started out much like a game of "telephone" and was later, and admitedly, altered by the Catholic church as your only gospel, that is your choice.

  • What song is this?

  • We have a group doomsday preppers

    Come join us on facebook!

  • i love how people come up with stupid tv show eveybody know it not going to happend

  • @TheDan4279 These are real people who think this is going to happen. Nobody came up with the idea for the show.

  • @kurumako you i know know that 2012 thing it is big hoax and scam

  • @TheDan4279 Ya, I think 2012 is a joke. But this isn't about 2012. This is about people preparing for any number of different catastrophic events at any time.

  • @TheDan4279 what exactly is "not" going to happen? You should start by telling the people in Haiti and Japan there will never be another earthquake...additionally, Tell all the people of the south there will never be another flood above 3 feet, and finally you can declare to the whole world that there is a zero percent chance of global power outage. Do you realize that without power..there is no food...no food brings CHOAS. I personally choose to pray to God through Jesus and prepare.

  • @KelleneBishopScam actually as of this month it applies to Utah as well ...Thomas S Monson is displeased

  • All I have to say is...."Are you my mummy??"

  • Do they know about the National Defense Authorization Act?

    if you have weapons or ammo stocked up or more than 7 days worth of food stocked up you can be detained by the U.S military indefinatley

  • i love how stupid people are theres always a village idiot but with earths growing population there is a lot of them out there and there preparing and predicting devestation just like people have been trying to do for years and when it does happen there gunna say we told you so and im gonna say really you have been telling us for years and now it happens

    I swear most people wont be happy until the world finnaly ends

  • @xaviertheprettyboy

    Village Idiot may just be you, judging by your spelling and grammar. Really, it is so bad that I had to read it three times and your point is still unclear. Since you are not clear, I will just respond by saying that it is not a bad idea to be prepared for situations beyond your control. It happens.

  • what if you don't have national geographic??????????

  • It will likely be about as funny as the first one. A couple of the folks profiled on the first one were good like SouthernPrepper but a couple of them were just a waste of time. Entertaining though.

  • @KelleneBishopScam I wish the best for you and yours. Smile... a lot. :)  God Bless you too.

  • @KelleneBishopScam It's obvious that you have some sort of bad history with Ms. Bishop. That's fine. I don't know her personally so I do not.

    My previous comments about this video attempt to illustrate to viewers/readers that a person who remains overweight trans-SHTF while others starve invites undue attention & makes that person a potential target.

    Ms. Bishop indicated NatGeo edited her comments to give the appearance that she intended to stay heavy trans-SHTF & I believe her.

  • embarrasing

    

  • I betcha the government has listed these people as potential terrorists!

  • @AmishVomitCake yea me too, let me know

  • I Believe this is the most retarded thing the Media has ever done seriously like uhhh 3/21/11 did the world come to an end NO....... that stupid ass movie 2012 rotted your brains you fucking morons the Mayans had no fucking clue when it is comin the answer is never even NASA said it's not gonna happen everybody that believes this Doomsday garbage should rethink this. This is a waste of time

  • @PreparednessPro Now, on a different but related topic, your egg-coating idea intrigues me. It makes sense, because as you state the egg comes with a natural longevity coating right out of the hen. I'm going to follow up on your good idea and may apply it to some of the eggs produced by our flock. Thanks!

  • Comment removed

  • It was actually a show like this that encouraged me to get things like a gas mask, nbc suit, fill a bug out bag, stock up on some ammo. I can't really buy all that food but I have all the bug out stuff. It isn't crazy to have something like that stored in a closet. The government actually promotes being prepared for natural and man made disasters, so I dunno what the big deal is.

  • All I have to say is wow are people really that scared and paranoid if the world was gona end then it would of happened by now so stop saying its over lifes gona go on

  • They will find the most extreme examples and the ones that belong in a mental hospital and portray them as the normal prepper. So that way there will be a (bigger) social stigma attached to prepping. "Oh you're a prepper, like those loons on TV?"..... Causing people interested in becoming a prepper to shy away in fear of being labeled "crazy". This show was not made for preppers, it was made for the majority of society and for ratings!

  • reminds me of some family i have, they believe in the terrorist/jihadist theory, pretty interesting stuff-dont think its too accurate though.

  • Yet another attempt to oversensationalize folks who try to provide for themselves and thier family instead of staking there lives on someone else to help them out. Granted there are extreames to every person but the huge majority of preppers are down to earth commen sense folk who would rather be prepared for trouble BEFORE trouble starts.

  • Does anyone know what music that is they're using? I need to know o_o

  • Hell ya!

  • Thumbs up if you prep.

  • @AdeptusParatus Godwin's law - As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches 1

    Lets's just ignore all the absurd stuff you wrote about ww2, because I don't even want to begin explaining everything that was wrong about it.

    It's funny that the most relevant threat to Norway you could come up with was ww2 though. You've showed that you are not only paranoid, but also ignorant.
