INSIDE THE PREPPER MOVEMENT: Preparing for Disaster and Ensuring Survival | WELT Documentary

Inside the Prepper Movement: Preparing for Disaster and Ensuring Survival
Preppers, or survivalists, are individuals who actively prepare for emergencies, including possible disruptions in social or political order, on scales ranging from local to international. Their preparations can include establishing self-sufficient food and water supplies, learning survival skills, and arranging for self-defense. The motives behind such activities often stem from fears of natural disasters, economic collapse, pandemics, or other catastrophic events. Prepping involves not just stockpiling resources but also planning for sustainability and independence, with a strong emphasis on adaptability and resilience. The movement has grown more visible and gained broader acceptance over recent years, particularly in light of real-world crises that underscore the fragility of modern infrastructures.

If people weren’t preppers before Covid, I’m sure they are now. I’ve been prepping since 2013. I’m glad I do because now I have peace of mind!

[@bigchief4044]

Why would people become “preppers” because of Covid?

[@Tactical-hg7ov]

Amen!

[@theemeraldfox7779]

Same here,started in 2012

[@homesteadgal4143]

Ha! You haven't met my family. None of them think about 'tomorrow' or 'what if'. Of course, they're all fully-boosted, so whatcanIsay...

[@ericwitt4586]

That was a great video Thanks ! Eric .

[@harp34]

The biggest issue is that the government won't tell you when everything has fallen apart. You will need to guess and act without knowing the full extent of the problems.

[@swynty5767]

Any quick look at history can show a person a lot.

[@kevinsmith7287]

Good to see this subject was dealt with seriously. Being ex forces I guess you could say I've always prepped. Skills will be as important as your choice of equipment.

[@josephtobin3347]

More important are skills. Equipment can always be scrounged, and by itself will let you down. That said, I’m equipped to the nines.

[@kevinsmith7287]

@@josephtobin3347 Me too. I remember our instructor saying, "knowledge is the lightest kit you carry, but it can weigh heavy on your mind". We also had to learn a poem for mental health, it was also used for when you knock your head. If you can't remember it, you probably have concussion.

[@PHExpatPrepper]

Nice, even here in the Philippines more folks are prepping.

[@endofthehatchet6209]

As you should u are you own first responder

[@josephtobin3347]

Only a fool or the deluded would not be prepping.

[@stacky512a]

They better start rethinking the abandonment of the bunkers.

[@madamfree8801]

Out of sight. Few people. Access to what u need

[@BabyMakR]

Living that close to the Soviet Union, I'd be prepping too.

[@user-el4mn4dm2d]

Switzerland is the best for bunkers. They are starting to open up the ones that have been closed for years

[@ASMR.by.HIPPYCHICK]

Anyone watching this from the UK... don't bug-out to the woods... Our island isn't big enough for everyone to be running around outside. Bug-in for as long as possible, barricade your home. In the meantime, grow your own veg, hone your skills, you could also get some chickens (no rooster tho, not encouraged in domestic areas lol) Map your surroundings, find an alternate water source, get fit, improve your health where possible. The people in this video just walking out to their bug-out location looks easy, imagine if all around you was chaos! If you see something coming, by all means bug-out early before the panic starts, make sure you have a radio and one last things... *Don't talk about prep club* 😉

[@demil3618]

Hey Ned Irving, Good narration, but it's still called _self_ confidence and _self_ help, not self _confidence_ or self _help_ . They are specific kinds of confidence or help!

[@user-gf3lw5pi4t]

Three words ,Montreal ice storm. 😮

[@Engr_J]

Can we do this every new month

[@bobbymanganaro]

Unless you have the ability to raise your own food and have water and ammo The rest is just buying time unless you have your own food and water source for the long term.

[@cromag141]

Most people will eat pet food at 3 weeks. Most people will eat pets at 5 weeks.

[@swynty5767]

In China they eat them day 1

[@daviddominguez7545]

I totally beleive this. What's for dinner daddy? Zues and princess , enjoy. Tomorrow will be bacon the pet pig lol

[@S.M.E.A.C]

They ate their kids pretty quickly during the Holodomor.

[@Jakethesnake607]

24:37 when bombs fall, glass shatters. There are plenty of other things in that bunker to kys with…

[@bobsthea]

because of somethings happen between U.S. and rusia, somehow all europeans have to be prepared for something that should be a thing in the past

[@tomreid5002]

The europeans like Poland and the baltic states are the biggest antagonists. Heres a headline; "NATO readies its nuclear weapons". Just like eurotrash. Blame US blame US blame US

[@MousyLeigh]

“It takes 2.5 hours to learn to use a compass and a map.” Really? Lol

[@majormayhemgelball]

I grew up reading street directories so I have a natural sense in direction

[@MultiMetaldemon]

True prepper must have weapon primary and sec(semi rifle and gun)

[@oldbloke204]

Last thing on my list but then I don't live in a warzone like some folks seem to think they do.

[@MultiMetaldemon]

@@oldbloke204 one day maybe you will

[@oldbloke204]

@@MultiMetaldemon Maybe but then I definitely need shelter, food and water every day and I have hose things very well covered.

[@markyeadon7271]

Depends on where you live. USA definitely but Europe not necessarily. Shelter, food & water are top of the list.

[@mattdg1981]

​@@oldbloke204 when society collapses those with firearms will dictate who gets what. If you can get a gun you better do so. Eventually you find some laying around but I wouldn't count on it.

[@cindyforbess8449]

I sure am glad I live in the US, we’re totally immune to grid down, either by over use, cyber attack, in place terrorist cell attack on transformers, emp, cme, also immune to famine due to drought, crop failure, farm land depletion, etc, also immune to deadly pandemics, earthquakes,volcanoes, storms, fires ( ok maybe not fires), rising sea levels, earth crust displacement, the halting of the AMOC , a reduction in the earth’s geomagnetic field due to polar excursion, oh and definitely immune to nuclear weapons or nuclear accidents,nope doesn’t happen here, no horsemen coming here in the good old USA, shucks we don’t even allow civil unrest here, nope we’re good, no need to prep, nothing to scrounge at my house at the end of the dead end dirt road in the country next door to master gardener, silly folks, growing and canning all that stuff, total waste of time because this is the USA, we’re immune- hopper from Louisiana

[@jeremyknop5378]

I was honestly worried this might be a woke propaganda movie depicting preppers as tin foil hat crazies but im pleasantly surprised this actually depicts why people prep and the different types of preppers. We come from all backgrounds and walks of life. Ive been prepping since the covid lockdowns, i think i can speak for many when i say it was an eye opener to how fragile our systems are and how power hungry and devious our goverments can be and are.

[@bigchief4044]

Most “preppers” are goofballs and weirdos.

[@michaelm5370]

I don’t think “most” are. But those goofballs and weirdos are what is displayed to the public by the media and politicians to discredit and manipulate the public’s perception

[@oldbloke204]

Depends on your definition really imo. Even having insurance is being prepared when you think about it. Seems that many of the smartest and well off folks on this rock are doing it these days.

[@deerhaven3350]

So you're saying Benjamin Franklin was a goofball and weirdo? One of his quotes was "failing to prepare is preparing to fail".

[@garysexton344]

There is plenty of technology out there that you don t need the grid...
