Bullets, Lots of Bullets (Full Episode) | Doomsday Preppers

We take a look at three individuals' lifestyles and the sacrifices they have made to prepare for what they fear may be the end of the world as we know it. With stockpiles of food, water, weapons and more, these three are preparing not only to survive the end of the world, but to sustain a lifestyle after a major disaster. But have they prepared enough?

I always liked the end of each show, when they talked about the likelihood of each event the preppers, prepared for. They typically gave each one an extremely low likelihood, yet now (maybe 10 years after the airing of these shows) most are on the verge or already happening. The polar shift is looking more likely as the poles are accelerating in movement and last year was 60'.

Regarding that last lady; cooking not only doesn't reduce nutrients to a significant degree (I presume she meant micronutrients), but with regards to _macronutrients_ cooking enhances digestibility, allowing the body to get _more_ energy from the food.

Hello, as a prepper I am always really worried to see people stockpiling canned goods and MREs. Don’t get me wrong they’re good to have on hand, however MREs go bad after three years and canned goods only last up to maybe 4-5 years. Most people don’t store food correctly, so their food stores will go bad. You need freeze dried foods,/‘d dried goods. Pasta, rice, oats, flour, beans, wheat, and corn are your best bets to start with. If you can afford to either freeze dry your own food or buy freeze dried meals, go for it. Focus on getting trusted brands and stuff that you will like eating. If you can, get peanut butter mix or nut butter mix, not the actual nut butter. Oils and fats go bad after one year and will not keep. As for water, just buying bottled water is a good start, but it will only be good for a year. Even water stores in those big blue containers will go bad after a year. So make sure your water peeps are constantly updated. If you have a pool, you’re one of the lucky few.

Might want to eliminate a couple windows in those busses too. And a school bus may be designed to roll over and everyone get out okay - but probably not with 5000 lbs of loose cargo bouncing around inside it when it happens. Imagine surviving the rollover itself, but being capped by canned goods in the process.

@@HerculesRockefellerESQ I was thinking the same thing. That loose cargo will definitely hurt of not kill them

These episodes have been on KZbin for years so I'm curious why they're all being uploaded again. Well, feel free to prep for your area's known problems just to have a peace of mind... and to spare yourself from having to make special trips to the store when something runs out. It's not wise to broadcast what you have but at your discretion, maybe a trusted family member who has nothing.... that is if they financially can't start a personal stash of goods.

[@Dmd265]

And they were uploaded by National Geographic. I think they’re testing the waters for interest now that prepping seems to be on more people’s radar than it was even then. Possible season 5 in the works?

I seriously had to laugh when at the very end the narrator said that the chances of a major earthquake hitting LA was less than 3% because years ago I watched a show about earthquakes when I was living in LA and in the show they said that exact figure 3% lol the next day was the Northridge quake lol. I was also present for the Quake that struck the Bay Area during the World Series baseball game right in the middle of the game lol

Having a MAG (mutual assistance group) is very smart. I would love to have the assets to move to the country again and have a completely off-grid setup. I don't see having that much food as being needed though... but who am I to say? I have something like 6-8 months of food for me and my son, daughter in law and grand daughter who are nearby (and don't prep but are happy that I do.... smh) The only thing I really don't have covered is an alternative source of water. But I do have something in mind... an atmospheric water generator.

[@chrismounts846]

Yeah I’m going to have to disagree with the narrator about the earthquake and oil shortage. We’re in the middle of the shortage and California is long overdue for a major earthquake.

True but there's an argument to be made that bullion would retain value better than paper money in a post disaster situation. Eventually society will start to rebuild and gold is more universally valued than paper currency especially fiat currency.

​@@andyhwell8419 yes, always start with the tools that will ensure clean water and food acquisition, such as filters, firestarters, knives, long range/guns, then storage of food and water, then the gold n silver. You can always gather and hunt in a bug out, if your Homebase is overrun or destroyed, so get the tools in a bag first, with compatible back ups. Make sure the tools have multiple uses, a pocket knife will only get you so far. Gold is only useful in a modern world. It's only useful for tech and looks. Other than that, it's dead weight.

The refineries are here and 2nd it was only a year and a half ago that America was a net exporter of oil meaning we produced enough oil for our entire economy and had enough left over to export and gas was just over $2.25/gal now with Brandon in charge gas is $5.15/gal.
