00:00:05.229 --> 00:00:09.800
<v ->I'm not sure exactly when the Prepper movement started,</v>

2
00:00:09.800 --> 00:00:12.510
but I do know that it's gaining.

3
00:00:12.510 --> 00:00:16.070
This is a group of people that are very devoted

4
00:00:16.070 --> 00:00:17.900
to being hyper prepared.

5
00:00:17.900 --> 00:00:20.590
They are being prepared for doomsday scenarios

6
00:00:20.590 --> 00:00:22.060
or extinction events.

7
00:00:22.060 --> 00:00:25.090
<v ->Goes from Boston, Connecticut, Long Island.</v>

8
00:00:25.090 --> 00:00:26.730
Most people are not prepared for disasters.

9
00:00:26.730 --> 00:00:28.290
A lot of people like to think they are,

10
00:00:28.290 --> 00:00:29.740
and there's so much to prepping.

11
00:00:29.740 --> 00:00:32.530
It's not just having food, it's having a mindset.

12
00:00:32.530 --> 00:00:34.200
<v ->You have to realize that</v>

13
00:00:34.200 --> 00:00:36.080
people are not gonna come take care of you.

14
00:00:36.080 --> 00:00:37.810
You really have to be able to take care of yourself.

15
00:00:37.810 --> 00:00:39.845
<v ->After the apocalypse,</v>

16
00:00:39.845 --> 00:00:42.350
most of the people you love are gone,

17
00:00:42.350 --> 00:00:43.600
most of your friends are gone,

18
00:00:43.600 --> 00:00:46.100
everything you love to eat are gone.

19
00:00:46.100 --> 00:00:48.973
It's like the beginning of mankind all over again.

00:00:58.574 --> 00:01:00.790 line:15% 
<v ->Okay, YouTubers, this is The Angry Prepper.</v>

21
00:01:00.790 --> 00:01:04.160
Today's video is episode one in the bug out series.

22
00:01:04.160 --> 00:01:06.600 line:15% 
I got into prepping years ago,

23
00:01:06.600 --> 00:01:09.300 line:15% 
and there was a book I read called One Second After.

24
00:01:09.300 --> 00:01:13.220
And in this book, an EMP goes off, electromagnetic pulse,

25
00:01:13.220 --> 00:01:16.110 line:15% 
which sends the United States back into the Dark Ages.

26
00:01:16.110 --> 00:01:17.170 line:15% 
At the end of the book,

27
00:01:17.170 --> 00:01:19.220 line:15% 
there's a mentioning by Newt Gingrich

28
00:01:19.220 --> 00:01:20.840 line:15% 
on how this is a possibility.

29
00:01:20.840 --> 00:01:22.390 line:15% 
Terrorists are aware of it.

30
00:01:22.390 --> 00:01:25.290 line:15% 
It was pretty much a green light for me to start prepping.

31
00:01:25.290 --> 00:01:28.030 line:15% 
You crank this for as long as you can.

32
00:01:28.030 --> 00:01:31.300 line:15% 
People that are Preppers are everyone and anyone.

33
00:01:31.300 --> 00:01:33.210
You could be from any walk of life.

34
00:01:33.210 --> 00:01:34.410
<v ->Jason's a fireman,</v>

35
00:01:34.410 --> 00:01:36.160
you have one woman who she's an attorney.

36
00:01:36.160 --> 00:01:38.310 line:15% 
I work for a high tech company,

37
00:01:38.310 --> 00:01:40.210 line:15% 
my wife's a university professor.

38
00:01:40.210 --> 00:01:42.760
<v ->People think that this group is hard up</v>

39
00:01:42.760 --> 00:01:45.330
tin foil wearing conspiracy the, no.

40
00:01:45.330 --> 00:01:47.060
<v Scott>Watch a documentary on Katrina,</v>

41
00:01:47.060 --> 00:01:50.440
look at something about Sandy, look at the years afterward,

42
00:01:50.440 --> 00:01:51.790
look at Puerto Rico right now.

43
00:01:51.790 --> 00:01:53.530
<v Jason>No power, no electricity.</v>

44
00:01:53.530 --> 00:01:54.650
<v Scott>I was there for 9/11.</v>

45
00:01:54.650 --> 00:01:55.820
<v Jason>The crime is out of control.</v>

46
00:01:55.820 --> 00:01:58.480
<v Scott>The system will be overwhelmed.</v>

47
00:01:58.480 --> 00:02:01.690 line:15% 
<v ->The US is one of the top five countries in the world</v>

48
00:02:01.690 --> 00:02:05.750
in terms of the number and severity of disaster events.

49
00:02:05.750 --> 00:02:08.350
It's because of our location on the globe.

50
00:02:08.350 --> 00:02:10.260
We have a lot of coastal regions

51
00:02:10.260 --> 00:02:11.780
and we have a large population,

52
00:02:11.780 --> 00:02:14.670
so we're vulnerable to earthquakes and volcanoes.

53
00:02:14.670 --> 00:02:18.690
We have wildfires, we have storm surge, hurricanes,

54
00:02:18.690 --> 00:02:21.730
cyclone-like events, flooding, landslides, mudslides.

55
00:02:21.730 --> 00:02:22.563
We have it all.

56
00:02:22.563 --> 00:02:24.440
So, we are definitely at risk.

57
00:02:24.440 --> 00:02:26.970
There have been studies looking at how prepared

58
00:02:26.970 --> 00:02:28.410
the US population is,

59
00:02:28.410 --> 00:02:33.410
and less than 50% has even the bare minimal requirements.

60
00:02:33.690 --> 00:02:35.390
People don't wanna think about it.

61
00:02:37.950 --> 00:02:39.840
<v ->The water just came in last night.</v>

62
00:02:39.840 --> 00:02:42.490
There's people, and they're just waiting to get help.

63
00:02:43.730 --> 00:02:45.630
It's horrible to be in that situation

64
00:02:45.630 --> 00:02:49.040
when you can't do anything and you're just waiting.

65
00:02:49.040 --> 00:02:50.680
<v ->Some people think having a flashlight</v>

66
00:02:50.680 --> 00:02:52.861
and a can of beans is it.

67
00:02:52.861 --> 00:02:53.694
It isn't,

68
00:02:53.694 --> 00:02:57.810
it constitutes a good light show and a bad night of gas.

69
00:02:57.810 --> 00:03:00.910
You prep enough, you're gonna make it through that disaster.

70
00:03:00.910 --> 00:03:04.720
The roundabout number to start with is 30 days,

71
00:03:04.720 --> 00:03:06.580
and then move onto 60 days, then 90,

72
00:03:06.580 --> 00:03:08.633
then keep going a month at a time.

73
00:03:10.130 --> 00:03:11.810
I'm still at a year and a half.

74
00:03:11.810 --> 00:03:16.190
After next week when I go on my Prepper blitz,

75
00:03:16.190 --> 00:03:18.370
which is just canned goods at a supermarket,

76
00:03:18.370 --> 00:03:22.483
I'll be at a year and eight, nine months.

77
00:03:24.060 --> 00:03:28.680
<v ->We're in what's called the Sixth Extinction period.</v>

78
00:03:28.680 --> 00:03:31.850
Right now, we are on schedule to lose

79
00:03:31.850 --> 00:03:34.100
at least half of the species on earth

80
00:03:34.100 --> 00:03:35.760
by the end of the century.

81
00:03:35.760 --> 00:03:38.980
We've had five major extinctions in the past.

82
00:03:38.980 --> 00:03:41.610
One that many people are familiar with

83
00:03:41.610 --> 00:03:44.780
is the Permian Extinction.

84
00:03:44.780 --> 00:03:48.530
That happened when we lost all the non-avian dinosaurs.

85
00:03:48.530 --> 00:03:50.583
That was about 60 million years ago.

86
00:03:52.060 --> 00:03:56.220
It's called the Push Pulse Theory of Extinction.

87
00:03:56.220 --> 00:03:59.870
So, there are presses on the ecosystem,

88
00:03:59.870 --> 00:04:01.710
and it could be climate change,

89
00:04:01.710 --> 00:04:03.230
it could be rising sea levels,

90
00:04:03.230 --> 00:04:04.700
it could be any number of things,

91
00:04:04.700 --> 00:04:08.250
but then there's an extinction pulse like Tambora,

92
00:04:08.250 --> 00:04:11.750
which was a huge volcano in the 1800s,

93
00:04:11.750 --> 00:04:13.740
and that lead to the year without a summer.

94
00:04:13.740 --> 00:04:18.740
So, some horrible mass event like a super volcano

95
00:04:18.740 --> 00:04:22.180
could be the pulse that really decimates

96
00:04:22.180 --> 00:04:24.173
a large part of the population.

97
00:04:25.740 --> 00:04:27.890
<v ->A doomsday scenario would be like a pandemic,</v>

98
00:04:27.890 --> 00:04:31.750
and whatever disease that is taking hold of the country.

99
00:04:31.750 --> 00:04:34.630
Once a certain number of people become infected,

100
00:04:34.630 --> 00:04:35.760
quarantine starts.

101
00:04:35.760 --> 00:04:37.280
Once quarantine starts,

102
00:04:37.280 --> 00:04:38.760
you're gonna start seeing the breakdown

103
00:04:38.760 --> 00:04:40.210
in people coming to work.

104
00:04:40.210 --> 00:04:43.420
Once the law enforcement stop going to work,

105
00:04:43.420 --> 00:04:44.730
that's when the breakdown begins.

106
00:04:44.730 --> 00:04:46.930
Now you're talking about a free for all,

107
00:04:46.930 --> 00:04:48.850

108
00:04:48.850 --> 00:04:52.070
<v ->Unfortunately, the government is getting a lot of pressure</v>

109
00:04:52.070 --> 00:04:55.160
to respond to different types of disaster events,

110
00:04:55.160 --> 00:04:58.000
and FEMA is getting stretched, really stretched.

111
00:04:58.000 --> 00:05:00.880
And now they've said be prepared

112
00:05:00.880 --> 00:05:03.240
to be on your own for 72 hours,

113
00:05:03.240 --> 00:05:05.030
and if you're a healthcare facility,

114
00:05:05.030 --> 00:05:07.410
you should be prepared for 96.

115
00:05:07.410 --> 00:05:10.683
That's a lot of hours to be on your own without any help.

116

<v ->Look at all the disaster movies that come out</v>

118
00:05:18.277 --> 00:05:19.670
and people flock to see 'em

119
00:05:21.250 --> 00:05:23.250
because we're obsessed with destruction.

120
00:05:24.140 --> 00:05:26.850
<v ->I actually like watching those movies.</v>

121
00:05:26.850 --> 00:05:28.010
I like watching them

122
00:05:28.010 --> 00:05:30.880
'cause I'm always curious to see how we get out of it,

123
00:05:30.880 --> 00:05:33.330
and we always do in those movies, right?

124
00:05:33.330 --> 00:05:34.700
<v ->It's part of human nature.</v>

125
00:05:34.700 --> 00:05:36.850
That part of us likes the chaos

126
00:05:36.850 --> 00:05:38.503
and how we would fare with the chaos.

127
00:05:38.503 --> 00:05:41.800
<v ->Aren't you a little bit curious to watch the world burn?</v>

128

<v ->The psychology of it is just wanting to live,</v>

129

That's what drives me.

131
00:05:55.710 --> 00:05:57.550
I don't want them to suffer from starvation,

132

dehydration, medical.

133
00:06:00.580 --> 00:06:03.180
I want us to be able to thrive during that disaster.

<v ->So, we've just come down into the Lelani Estates area</v>

135
00:06:07.590 --> 00:06:09.940

<v Jason>I think the world has always been this dangerous.</v>

138
00:06:14.170 --> 00:06:16.860
It's just there's more news media to report

139
00:06:16.860 --> 00:06:18.550
different things that are going on.

<v ->Definitely the speed with which news can travel</v>

144
00:06:30.100 --> 00:06:33.003
I think is increasing the anxiety level.

145
00:06:34.730 --> 00:06:37.570
Some people are what we call catastrophists;

146
00:06:37.570 --> 00:06:39.690
everything is gonna be bad.

147
00:06:39.690 --> 00:06:41.390
But I don't think all Preppers are like that.

148
00:06:41.390 --> 00:06:44.860
I think they genuinely want to control

149
00:06:44.860 --> 00:06:46.760
whatever they can control.

150
00:06:46.760 --> 00:06:50.210
These are people who feel things are getting scary.

151
00:06:50.210 --> 00:06:52.520
I think I can understand where it's coming from.

No.
