I found it extremely interesting.
I have $1,000 saved up. I should at the very least stockpile water, some food. Enough to stay in the house for a week or two.
Anyone who actually thinks this will happen is stupid
First of all, if all power goes out everywhere, it's not going to be out forever, it'll get turned back on eventually.
Second, scientists have basically proved there won't be a CME in 2012.
EDIT: Fuck they only eat fish and veggies, even before the 'apocalypse'? At least take advantage of modern technology before you go overboard.

Aside from the first guy I think the rest are pretty reasonable. The first guy is pretty smart and he's very well prepared for himself, but the 2012 theories sound like crackpot delusions to me. I don't think anyone is planning for a "The world will end and never be the same. It's all over" I'm pretty sure most are planning to keep themselves alive and comfortable for a year or two until things stabilize. Watch the whole video before you generalize it, it's like reading the headline of the News Paper and jumping to conclusions about what the article is about.
The US defaulting, inflation and an economic collapse all seem like completely plausible situations we may face in the future.
I really would prefer the first guy not discredit the rest of them. Southernprepper1 is in this show as well, he does extensive Youtube shorts on WROL.

I was mostly directing my argument towards the first dude, so far the rest of them seem too paranoid but besides that not bad.

The issue to me though, is that you're the first comment for the thread and anyone about to buckle down and watch a 44 minute documentary may get the wrong impression right off the bat. I agree with you, the first guy is planning for something which, even in most Preppers eyes is kind of stupid.
As for paranoid, I don't know much about that. I think it's like their own hobby, and it's a very productive hobby. Yeah, I can make a really expensive, cool looking train set. But if I lose my job tomorrow it won't feed me for six months.
This is like an outlit for their energy and creativity by preparing for something hypothetically possible. You can probably bet that if most of these guys were laid off they wouldn't be too afraid of where the next meal is coming from.
Fuck I want an underground bunker too.

Uh, a CME acts similar to an EMP. It won't result in someone flipping the power switch at the power station, it'll literally destroy all electrical components, including battery powered things, and even if you were to replace the battery with a different one, the device itself is still completely fucked up and broken and will not function. This would happen to literally anything that has a wire with a current flowing through it, the wire could literally melt or explode from the affected current running through it.
It'll take decades to replace the infastructure that we currently have- especially considering that a huge percentage of our tools have now been completely destroyed, the factories that manufacture them, the internet, phone lines, cellphone towers, nearly every single form of rapid communication will be destroyed.
End of world scenarios that could happen in our life time that won't outright kill us:
Super deadly and infectious virus
Global economic collapse
Nuclear or bio-terrorism attacks
more?
It's not unreasonable to have a few months of food and water stored up for if shit hits the fan.
I'm still watching the first guy.
The thing about preparation to this extent is, everyone else will raid you
I don't believe in the whole 2012 thing but I do believe something will happen due to the people who do believe in it doing things like riots, or just going crazy.
I don't mind the idea of preparing for the worst but the doomsday shit is so stupid.
What a lot of people who do this don't seem to realize is that the end of the world doesn't just undo itself after a while. The world isn't going to pick the human race back up and everything go back to normal, if that were the case it wouldn't be the end, it'd just be dark times. They save food for a year, but the end of the world is gonna be longer than that :v:

Lol have fun raiding him I'm pretty sure he'd gun you down

The first guy didn't have any guns, only a knife.
Good luck with that in the deep south

He didn't SHOW us any of his guns, sure.

Okay okay, losing battle here convincing you guys. Anyways, I'm sure if they do have guns, their neighbours will have guns and their neighbours will too. The "experts" said it was a problem also.

Guns guns guns
This is why we need gun control guys :downs:

That's not what he meant lol
This video inspired me to be prepared for the nutjobs that think the world is going to end.
I would like to get into being somewhat self-reliant, not for the end of the world, but for a situation where things in the store would just cost too damn much if I were to buy everything. What I mean is making my own bread and shit.
Medications, and immunizations. Every plan has just been broken.

Tell me Dr. House M.D., can you cure Economic Inflation or CME with some pills or a needle?

At 12:48 or so he puts remington shells into his 72-hour kit. He has a gun of some sort, apparently, or he just carries around bullets.

Also, that engineer dude seems pretty damn smart/creative.

He was placing a ammo box and hard case in his bug-out bag. Probably armed.
[QUOTE=Tacosheller;34024605]Second, scientists have basically proved there won't be a CME in 2012.[/QUOTE]
Lol, this isnt true. CME's happen all the time, i guess this first guy thinks its going to be a huge one though. its not like CME's of that scale havnt happened before, it doesnt hurt to be prepared but pretending to know when it will happen (2012) is, i agree, pretty damn stupid.
My parents are pretty much exactly like the people shown in the show. I understand their concerns, but it's a different story when you have to deal with it. The house is full of a bunch of survival shit. I can't walk two feet without tripping over some solar powered oven or canned food.
Pretty interesting.
A little off-topic though, I read the title as "Doomsday Peppers" and thought it was going to be about the Bhut Jolokia or something. I was confused until I realized it was "preppers" about 20 minutes in. Heh.
This is a pretty good way to live, the whole the world will end in 2012 thing is silly but it teaches his children really good life lessons
What a bunch of fucking idiots
