  It's 4:53am and I'm up watching this when I have work in the morning. That's the real doomsday.

  Let's not forget how important physical fitness and self defense is.

  My grandparents survived the great depression because they lived on a farm. Grew their own fruits and vegetables.  Had a milking cow and sheep . Even a dozen pig's.   I have heard grandfather was also a ace mechanic and did work for trade .    Most people thought they were rich.  They were not rich just resourceful.  People don't have poverty today to farm .  This is a huge problem.

  What we call prepping today our great grandparents just called life. Preparation to care for yourself and family without government assistance in hard times. Settle down folks , it's just good common sense

  I was in New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina. Society fell apart in 24 hours. No fire department no police department no phones no electricity.. 24 houses and people were driving around in trucks with guns. 24 hours is all it took. Be prepared

  When my parents were 77, they lived out on a peninnsula on the coast of Maine (beautiful spot.) They had  big snow storms that winter and the power and phones went out for 2 weeks after one such storm.  When they finally got phone connection, I called and asked if they were OK.  Mom said, "Oh yeah! Dad's got wth wood-stove keeping us warm and I just made porkchops, broccoli and potatoes on the stove for dinner."  Snow-bound but A-OK!

  There’s something terrifying and weirdly addictive about doomsday scenarios… they make you realize how fragile everything really is. 60 Minutes always finds a way to make it hit harder. Gave me chills. 😨

  Up until the late 1970’s, most people living in Portugal were “preppers.” They were peasant farmers, who grew their own food and most had no electricity or running water. Most didn’t have their own cars. They could survive for years without relying on supermarkets or utilities that were only sporadically provided and unequally-distributed by governments. I lived this life as a child. It only took one generation and moving into the E.U. (which had a vested interest in destroying traditional peasant agriculture, in order to open up new markets for its multinationals) to make the average citizen in this country completely dependent for their survival on the capitalist and industrialized system.

  My mom was a firm believer in the collection of seeds and I collect and store all sorts of seeds because she taught us to do so, and taught us from early childhood how important this practice is for the future of mankind and to pass this knowledge on to our children. She had grown up on a farm and possessed a tremendously wonderful green thumb.

  Imagine a post apocalyptic world.  Where all of the worlds last seeds, are housed in a place nobody can get to.

  As someone that lives in a very geologically active location, preparedness is important. It's one thing to be paranoid and hyper-fixated on something that will likely won't happen, but it's wise to be prepared for whatever is possible.
