1
00:00:00,719 --> 00:00:02,960
across the country there is a growing
2
00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:05,680
darkness a belief that the end of days
3
00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:07,839
is near i'm preparing my family for the
4
00:00:07,839 --> 00:00:09,599
total destruction of the power grid the
5
00:00:09,599 --> 00:00:12,080
yellowstone super volcano a financial
6
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:13,920
collapse load
7
00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:16,160
ordinary americans from all walks of
8
00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:17,760
life are taking whatever measures
9
00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:19,840
necessary to prepare when survival is
10
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:22,640
the goal it's into the spider hole and
11
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:25,199
protect themselves go fast fast fast
12
00:00:25,199 --> 00:00:26,400
fast
13
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:28,080
from what they perceive is the fast
14
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:30,080
approaching end of the world as we know
15
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:31,119
it
16
00:00:31,119 --> 00:00:34,719
i'm gonna use like this
17
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:38,719
next we go inside the lives of three
18
00:00:38,719 --> 00:00:40,480
committed preppers who have devised
19
00:00:40,480 --> 00:00:42,559
extensive plans
20
00:00:42,559 --> 00:00:44,960
what we've got here is 50 000 pounds and
21
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:47,440
it'll last two people for 20 years gone
22
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:49,840
to great lengths i eat what most people
23
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:52,399
would call weeds and made huge personal
24
00:00:52,399 --> 00:00:55,039
sacrifices to ensure their very survival
25
00:00:55,039 --> 00:00:56,559
but you know what
26
00:00:56,559 --> 00:00:58,800
when it hits the fan she's gonna starve
27
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:01,920
to death and i'm gonna go
28
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:04,159
experts will assess their extreme preps
29
00:01:04,159 --> 00:01:06,159
and decide if they have what it takes to
30
00:01:06,159 --> 00:01:08,880
face armageddon we built our house out
31
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:11,360
of 40-foot steel shipping containers and
32
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:13,280
to survive
33
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:17,960
this is doomsday preppers
34
00:01:27,119 --> 00:01:29,439
paul range is retired from his corporate
35
00:01:29,439 --> 00:01:31,520
job and lives with his wife gloria
36
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:33,600
outside of floresville texas
37
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:36,079
they enjoy eating barbecue with friends
38
00:01:36,079 --> 00:01:38,560
relaxing on their back porch
39
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:39,439
and
40
00:01:39,439 --> 00:01:41,520
preparing for the end of the world as we
41
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:43,200
know it
42
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:46,799
let's go let's go we're bugging out
43
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:50,640
i'm a prepper because i'm preparing for
44
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:53,040
when it's the fan what we've got here is
45
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:55,360
about 50 000 pounds and it'll last two
46
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:56,479
people for
47
00:01:56,479 --> 00:01:57,920
20 years
48
00:01:57,920 --> 00:01:59,600
paul and gloria consider prepping for
49
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,560
the apocalypse a full-time job
50
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:04,880
they dedicate 50 hours a week to storing
51
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:06,159
food
52
00:02:06,159 --> 00:02:08,318
building up defenses and designing
53
00:02:08,318 --> 00:02:10,720
gadgets all to improve their chance of
54
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:13,760
survival after the end of days it's not
55
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:16,080
a hobby it's a lifestyle it's just in me
56
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:17,680
i don't know how to live any different
57
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:19,520
let's get going this sunday is no
58
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:20,720
different
59
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,120
a normal retiree activity like playing
60
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:26,239
golf is not on the agenda
61
00:02:26,239 --> 00:02:28,319
instead they are testing the strength of
62
00:02:28,319 --> 00:02:30,800
their home against incoming gunfire i
63
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:32,160
don't need mine as big because i hit
64
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:34,000
better
65
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,400
that's bad by shooting live rounds at
66
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:39,599
the walls this test is necessary to find
67
00:02:39,599 --> 00:02:40,720
out
68
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:42,319
how effective
69
00:02:42,319 --> 00:02:44,560
the house is against small arms fire
70
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:46,879
with the town of san antonio only 35
71
00:02:46,879 --> 00:02:48,239
miles away
72
00:02:48,239 --> 00:02:49,840
they fear that the end of the world will
73
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:51,760
bring desperate and armed civilians to
74
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:53,760
their doorstep people will show up and
75
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:56,319
want food and you cannot feed the entire
76
00:02:56,319 --> 00:02:57,519
world
77
00:02:57,519 --> 00:02:58,959
so we want a full hundred yards and
78
00:02:58,959 --> 00:03:00,319
that's gonna be right out here to
79
00:03:00,319 --> 00:03:02,720
simulate civilian fire they are testing
80
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:04,959
the 22 22-caliber rifle one of the most
81
00:03:04,959 --> 00:03:07,440
common guns in america
82
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:09,280
okay weapon's hot
83
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:12,000
commits firing
84
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,159
dead-on it went through it i heard it
85
00:03:16,159 --> 00:03:19,280
and that 3-8 steal the result of this
86
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:21,040
test whether a bullet will go through
87
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:23,040
the wall or not could mean the
88
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:24,879
difference between life and death for
89
00:03:24,879 --> 00:03:27,120
those inside a house under siege
90
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:29,040
hopefully we won't have new holes in the
91
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:30,959
house
92
00:03:30,959 --> 00:03:33,040
yeah we got uh one round here one around
93
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:35,599
here one round here one round here just
94
00:03:35,599 --> 00:03:36,879
a slight bend
95
00:03:36,879 --> 00:03:38,879
the test is a success
96
00:03:38,879 --> 00:03:40,400
okay
97
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:42,560
some people would think that this was um
98
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:45,200
not normal behavior but it gives a whole
99
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:47,280
lot of peace of mind that rounds are not
100
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:49,519
going to be going completely through
101
00:03:49,519 --> 00:03:51,280
i haven't been crawling crazy to my face
102
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:52,959
except for a couple of my kids you know
103
00:03:52,959 --> 00:03:54,640
that doesn't worry me i mean this is the
104
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:57,280
lifestyle that we live and if people
105
00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:58,560
don't like it they don't have to come on
106
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:01,640
the property
107
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,400
all of paul and gloria's preps are in
108
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:06,720
readiness for one extreme worldwide
109
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:08,080
event
110
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:10,879
a complete magnetic polar shift we are
111
00:04:10,879 --> 00:04:12,560
seeing an increase
112
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:15,360
of earthquakes um that i think are
113
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:17,519
probably associated with some earth
114
00:04:17,519 --> 00:04:18,798
changes
115
00:04:18,798 --> 00:04:20,478
scientists agree that the earth's north
116
00:04:20,478 --> 00:04:22,400
and south magnetic poles are constantly
117
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:25,840
moving location by up to 25 miles a year
118
00:04:25,840 --> 00:04:28,800
and every 300 000 years or so prehistory
119
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:30,560
has shown that they will actually switch
120
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:32,000
completely
121
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,800
the last polar shift occurred 780 000
122
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:36,880
years ago leading some people to believe
123
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:39,520
we're overdue for a global flip-flop
124
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:42,000
that could have devastating consequences
125
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,720
the worst case would be a massive
126
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:46,240
earthquake type thing where the
127
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:48,560
continents did a fast shift most all the
128
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:51,440
buildings would fall down and collapse
129
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:53,360
paul believes that a polar shift will
130
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:55,360
also cause the continent's land masses
131
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:57,280
to shift north and south along the
132
00:04:57,280 --> 00:04:58,560
earth's mantle
133
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:00,479
potentially moving antarctica towards
134
00:05:00,479 --> 00:05:03,600
the equator and texas towards canada the
135
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:05,520
earthquakes have been stepping up lately
136
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:07,520
and by next year i'm thinking the
137
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:10,800
rattling will continue and intensify
138
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:12,560
everybody should be prepared
139
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:14,240
a typical house would be no match
140
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:16,240
against the devastation paul and gloria
141
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:18,479
fear so they built their very own
142
00:05:18,479 --> 00:05:22,960
doomsday fortress the range compound
143
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:26,240
we built our house out of nine 40-foot
144
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:29,600
steel shipping containers
145
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:32,960
they are designed to carry about 58 000
146
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:34,400
pounds each
147
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:36,639
and be stacked eight high so that's an
148
00:05:36,639 --> 00:05:39,440
incredible half million pounds of weight
149
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:42,080
that these things can sustain
150
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:43,680
shipping containers are normally used to
151
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:45,440
transport tons of commercial goods
152
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:47,520
across the ocean but recently their
153
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:49,840
ability to withstand heavy abuse and
154
00:05:49,840 --> 00:05:51,759
their low cost around four thousand
155
00:05:51,759 --> 00:05:53,919
dollars each has made them a desired
156
00:05:53,919 --> 00:05:58,000
building material for dedicated preppers
157
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:01,919
essentially i'm in a welded steel box so
158
00:06:01,919 --> 00:06:04,160
i'm not worried about my container
159
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:06,960
shifting in an earthquake
160
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:08,720
when i walked up to it the first time it
161
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:09,680
was just
162
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:13,919
wow this is really something we've done
163
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:16,800
we have
164
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:20,080
a structure that totally houses that
165
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:22,400
will totally feed us
166
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:25,440
and totally protect us the compound is
167
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:27,759
based on the layout of a medieval castle
168
00:06:27,759 --> 00:06:29,759
a square fort that encloses a safe
169
00:06:29,759 --> 00:06:32,479
courtyard and allows them 360 degrees of
170
00:06:32,479 --> 00:06:34,160
protection
171
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:36,160
from the ground we can see about 800
172
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:38,319
yards in every direction from the roof
173
00:06:38,319 --> 00:06:40,639
we can see about two miles
174
00:06:40,639 --> 00:06:43,600
so we have clear fields of fire for out
175
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:46,240
to a thousand meters so that gives us an
176
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:48,720
area that we can see people that we can
177
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:51,759
see predators
178
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:53,919
but they cannot protect the compound
179
00:06:53,919 --> 00:06:55,680
against everything
180
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:57,599
some believe a continental shift could
181
00:06:57,599 --> 00:06:59,680
potentially move texas to a different
182
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:01,919
point on the globe completely changing
183
00:07:01,919 --> 00:07:04,400
the climate if we shift north winters
184
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:05,919
are going to be harsher we have to
185
00:07:05,919 --> 00:07:07,120
assume
186
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,759
that we're going to have crop failures
187
00:07:09,759 --> 00:07:11,759
the prospect of a future without readily
188
00:07:11,759 --> 00:07:14,000
available food drives paul and gloria to
189
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:17,360
cook not three but eight meals a day
190
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:19,120
allowing them to put aside enough food
191
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:21,560
each week to survive an extra 11
192
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:23,680
post-apocalyptic days what kind of
193
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:25,280
chicken you're making the chimichanga
194
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:27,759
base oh chingachanga base
195
00:07:27,759 --> 00:07:30,000
and we're gonna can that yep the 25
196
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:31,919
pounds of chicken they preserve today
197
00:07:31,919 --> 00:07:33,840
has enough protein to sustain four
198
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:37,440
people for six days we're preparing for
199
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:40,160
family and friends we're not just
200
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:42,639
preparing for the two of us
201
00:07:42,639 --> 00:07:45,039
gloria's favorite doomsday candy is made
202
00:07:45,039 --> 00:07:47,280
from fresh corn dehydrated so it can
203
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:49,599
last for over a decade dried corn is a
204
00:07:49,599 --> 00:07:52,160
very good morale booster and treat food
205
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:54,720
it's extremely sweet kids eat it just
206
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:59,039
like candy eight gallons of fresh corn
207
00:07:59,039 --> 00:08:03,039
dehydrates into a one gallon jar so two
208
00:08:03,039 --> 00:08:05,840
weeks supply for four people
209
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:07,039
and at night
210
00:08:07,039 --> 00:08:09,360
the day's hunt is butchered so it can be
211
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:11,759
smoked and stored this dough could
212
00:08:11,759 --> 00:08:15,199
potentially feed 22 people for a week
213
00:08:15,199 --> 00:08:17,199
all of their food is added to
214
00:08:17,199 --> 00:08:18,639
the pantry
215
00:08:18,639 --> 00:08:22,639
a container with a 58 000 pound capacity
216
00:08:22,639 --> 00:08:24,319
and right now they're running out of
217
00:08:24,319 --> 00:08:26,240
space
218
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:28,160
i would say we have in excess of fifty
219
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:30,080
thousand pounds of food
220
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:33,279
corn worth seven hundred
221
00:08:33,279 --> 00:08:35,679
in this room it's our main pantry and we
222
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:38,799
have everything starting with pastas
223
00:08:38,799 --> 00:08:41,839
wet canned goods spices
224
00:08:41,839 --> 00:08:43,599
fema guidelines suggest that three days
225
00:08:43,599 --> 00:08:45,200
worth of food should be stored in your
226
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:48,080
home in case of a disaster
227
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:50,320
for paul and gloria that is just a drop
228
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:52,720
in the bucket we could make it for 15
229
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:54,560
years for 22 people
230
00:08:54,560 --> 00:08:57,279
but back here in the cans they have the
231
00:08:57,279 --> 00:08:59,760
20-year shelf life or more right
232
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:01,680
food storage was like an insurance
233
00:09:01,680 --> 00:09:04,000
policy we figured that our food has
234
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:07,120
actually gained 400 in value since we
235
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:09,519
started so instead of investing in a
236
00:09:09,519 --> 00:09:13,200
401k that just now lost 27 000 in the
237
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:15,920
last three weeks we have actually gained
238
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:19,040
in value of 400 percent so for me that's
239
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:21,040
a good investment
240
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:23,120
paul believes that a rapid continental
241
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:24,880
shift would cause earthquakes that will
242
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:27,760
knock out the electrical grid
243
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:30,000
and rupture gas lines
244
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:31,680
so after the day's food preps are
245
00:09:31,680 --> 00:09:34,080
complete he spends up to seven hours a
246
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:35,920
day working on alternative sources of
247
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:36,959
energy
248
00:09:36,959 --> 00:09:38,399
when the grid goes down i just flip a
249
00:09:38,399 --> 00:09:40,880
switch and we're in power this machine
250
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:43,279
on the roof called an upwind machine
251
00:09:43,279 --> 00:09:46,160
you're putting out about 650 of the 750
252
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:48,839
watts that the machine is capable of of
253
00:09:48,839 --> 00:09:51,760
handling paul has built and installed a
254
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:53,680
system of small windmills and solar
255
00:09:53,680 --> 00:09:55,680
panels making the compound capable of
256
00:09:55,680 --> 00:09:57,360
being completely independent of the
257
00:09:57,360 --> 00:09:59,680
national grid instead of having one huge
258
00:09:59,680 --> 00:10:01,920
solar panel array and one huge wind
259
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:05,600
generator we've opted to spread that out
260
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:07,680
so if i have a wind generator failure
261
00:10:07,680 --> 00:10:09,200
it's not going to affect
262
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:11,600
my entire system wind and solar are just
263
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:13,360
two ways that paul worked to doomsday
264
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:15,440
proof his energy
265
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:16,720
the third way
266
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:18,399
is just as effective
267
00:10:18,399 --> 00:10:20,880
but not quite as clean the methane is
268
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:22,560
run by the pig poop
269
00:10:22,560 --> 00:10:25,200
and actually our poop too
270
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:27,279
methane is a highly flammable gas
271
00:10:27,279 --> 00:10:29,360
produced from human and animal waste
272
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:31,680
sewer line comes in from the house and
273
00:10:31,680 --> 00:10:34,480
then from the pig pen and in to the
274
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:36,880
methane bio digester
275
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:39,120
despite its origins methane is actually
276
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:40,959
an odorless gas
277
00:10:40,959 --> 00:10:43,200
this gives us a cooking fuel that is not
278
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:46,640
a wood product in the case that the flag
279
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:48,720
went up and society went to hell you
280
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:50,720
could smell wood smoke from several
281
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:52,959
miles away and i don't want to be that
282
00:10:52,959 --> 00:10:56,480
person that's burning that wood smoke
283
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:00,320
the structure is actually taking care of
284
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:01,360
me
285
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:03,360
we're prepared here we have water we
286
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:05,920
have food we have means to grow things
287
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:08,079
we have our animals here we have all the
288
00:11:08,079 --> 00:11:10,160
power requirements that we want i can
289
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:12,399
get a good night's sleep knowing that
290
00:11:12,399 --> 00:11:15,360
i'm protected within these walls
291
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:17,200
paul and gloria have built a prepper's
292
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:19,040
paradise that they believe will see them
293
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:21,680
through 15 years of hell on earth
294
00:11:21,680 --> 00:11:24,560
but if staying put becomes too dangerous
295
00:11:24,560 --> 00:11:26,240
they also have a plan b that will take
296
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:29,839
their prepping to a whole new extreme
297
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:33,920
paul range and his wife gloria haswell
298
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:35,120
are convinced that the world's
299
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:37,200
continental land masses will soon shift
300
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:40,079
north or south along the earth's mantle
301
00:11:40,079 --> 00:11:41,839
causing catastrophic earthquakes that
302
00:11:41,839 --> 00:11:43,760
will flatten our cities
303
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:45,839
and crush our infrastructure
304
00:11:45,839 --> 00:11:48,160
even if we shifted two or three degrees
305
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:49,839
it would still throw everything in the
306
00:11:49,839 --> 00:11:51,040
chaos
307
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:53,040
there will be a series of devastating
308
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:57,040
earthquakes and i just want to be ready
309
00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:58,800
determined to face the apocalypse with
310
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:01,279
reinforcements paul and gloria have
311
00:12:01,279 --> 00:12:04,079
picked a team of 22 friends and family
312
00:12:04,079 --> 00:12:06,320
who will live and fight alongside them
313
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:07,839
we're just going to do a little target
314
00:12:07,839 --> 00:12:11,279
shooting and a little range safety today
315
00:12:11,279 --> 00:12:13,040
some of the team assembles at the range
316
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:15,360
compound to hone their prepping skills
317
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:17,440
and solidify their plans
318
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:20,079
all right make yourself ready load
319
00:12:20,079 --> 00:12:24,600
range is going hot fire one ready
320
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:27,360
the time that i realized
321
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:29,440
that i needed to prep
322
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:32,320
was in vietnam
323
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:35,680
i was there in 1975 when it fell
324
00:12:35,680 --> 00:12:38,720
the chaos was just unbelievable
325
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:40,000
i just don't want to be stuck in that
326
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:41,600
type of situation
327
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:44,160
you may fire it well
328
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:46,240
so because of our military experience we
329
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:48,560
leaned a little heavier toward
330
00:12:48,560 --> 00:12:50,399
military type
331
00:12:50,399 --> 00:12:53,200
we have probably three quarters that a
332
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:54,560
marksman
333
00:12:54,560 --> 00:12:56,959
i was a marine in his army
334
00:12:56,959 --> 00:13:00,000
yeah for both grunts
335
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:02,320
i was on iraq
336
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:03,920
there's no infrastructure at all it's
337
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:05,920
gone down all right show me the weapon i
338
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:08,720
don't like being helpless and now i feel
339
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:10,399
good because i have a plan good job
340
00:13:10,399 --> 00:13:13,279
stevie boy and i feel prepared
341
00:13:13,279 --> 00:13:15,600
38 not really there are some couples
342
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:18,800
there are some with kids
343
00:13:18,959 --> 00:13:20,399
move to wherever you're comfortable at
344
00:13:20,399 --> 00:13:24,399
go to town the children are the future
345
00:13:24,399 --> 00:13:28,079
excellent form all right shotgun boy
346
00:13:28,079 --> 00:13:30,639
and the nice thing is that uh children
347
00:13:30,639 --> 00:13:32,880
growing up in that type of environment
348
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:35,040
are not going to really know anything
349
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:37,200
else
350
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:39,839
but building stocking and manning a
351
00:13:39,839 --> 00:13:42,079
bulletproof compound is not enough for
352
00:13:42,079 --> 00:13:44,240
paul and gloria like many preppers they
353
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:47,199
want the complete insurance of a plan b
354
00:13:47,199 --> 00:13:50,320
our goal uh no matter what happens um
355
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:52,160
except for in the in the case of
356
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:54,320
something really extreme happening is to
357
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:57,279
actually stay in place but if we had to
358
00:13:57,279 --> 00:13:59,680
we could uproot and operate really
359
00:13:59,680 --> 00:14:02,480
quickly let's get going let's get moving
360
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:04,000
in case the range compound is
361
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:05,839
compromised they have formulated an
362
00:14:05,839 --> 00:14:08,880
extensive evacuation plan a bug out that
363
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:10,639
will take the entire team to a second
364
00:14:10,639 --> 00:14:12,720
location 12 hours north
365
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:16,560
and today they will test it out
366
00:14:16,560 --> 00:14:19,040
we're running a drill to make sure that
367
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:21,519
we can load up in under an hour
368
00:14:21,519 --> 00:14:24,000
and bug out they will drive specially
369
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:27,440
customized bug out vehicles
370
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:29,839
second hand school buses we've got a
371
00:14:29,839 --> 00:14:31,760
house sitting on wheels
372
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:34,000
we took all the seats but a few out we
373
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:36,320
have a way for at least four to six
374
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:37,760
people to sleep
375
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:40,639
within the confines of the vehicle
376
00:14:40,639 --> 00:14:42,639
paul knows from vietnam that being able
377
00:14:42,639 --> 00:14:44,320
to bug out quickly could mean the
378
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:47,040
difference between life and death
379
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:48,959
timing is everything all right guys we
380
00:14:48,959 --> 00:14:51,120
have uh 55 minutes to get the bus loaded
381
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:53,440
up let's get going
382
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:55,199
those cans those cans
383
00:14:55,199 --> 00:14:57,040
their aim today is to leave the compound
384
00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:59,360
with their animals approximately 10 000
385
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:02,079
pounds of food and 310 gallons of water
386
00:15:02,079 --> 00:15:04,000
in under an hour let's put these boxes
387
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:05,920
over here the tail gunner's gonna be
388
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:07,760
there all right let me have the carbine
389
00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:10,000
please
390
00:15:10,079 --> 00:15:11,440
and we're gonna lean the carbine in the
391
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:13,680
corner we believe that we can survive
392
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:15,839
for about 10 years with what we're going
393
00:15:15,839 --> 00:15:17,279
to take with us
394
00:15:17,279 --> 00:15:19,760
come on goats we're bugging out
395
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:22,399
our animals are actually trained
396
00:15:22,399 --> 00:15:24,639
to bug out come on
397
00:15:24,639 --> 00:15:26,320
come on goats
398
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:29,279
hurry hurry hurry
399
00:15:29,279 --> 00:15:30,959
you're gonna get left behind
400
00:15:30,959 --> 00:15:32,639
we've got water we've got food and
401
00:15:32,639 --> 00:15:34,240
kitchen equipment we've got the medical
402
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:36,240
supply we're ready to go all right guys
403
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:37,600
let's get going
404
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:40,720
go go go go
405
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:42,160
let's go let's go
406
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:44,240
pulling out
407
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:46,000
the convoy of buses will travel to a
408
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:48,000
pre-designated safe point two and a half
409
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:49,839
hours from the compound
410
00:15:49,839 --> 00:15:51,279
from there they will go on to their
411
00:15:51,279 --> 00:15:55,399
final and secret destination
412
00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:59,040
we have a specific time of the day
413
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:01,519
that we are going to leave because we
414
00:16:01,519 --> 00:16:03,120
want to move through some areas in the
415
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:04,560
dark and we want to move through some
416
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:06,399
areas in the daylight we can get to
417
00:16:06,399 --> 00:16:08,399
anywhere within the state without having
418
00:16:08,399 --> 00:16:12,079
to actually pass through a big city
419
00:16:19,519 --> 00:16:21,440
a school bus was actually designed to
420
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:24,639
roll over and everybody inside come out
421
00:16:24,639 --> 00:16:27,199
intact
422
00:16:28,639 --> 00:16:30,320
when we feel that we need to pull over
423
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:32,320
for the night then we are going to
424
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:36,199
actually circle the wagons
425
00:16:38,079 --> 00:16:39,839
the pioneers going across this country
426
00:16:39,839 --> 00:16:42,000
circled their wagon for extremely valid
427
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:44,320
reason by replicating the pioneers and
428
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:46,480
creating a square with four bug out
429
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:48,720
vehicles paul's team can spend the night
430
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:50,959
in the safe central haven defend it on
431
00:16:50,959 --> 00:16:53,600
all sides
432
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:56,399
with a minimum of four guards you have a
433
00:16:56,399 --> 00:16:59,440
defensive position
434
00:17:01,839 --> 00:17:03,759
paul and gloria's team have successfully
435
00:17:03,759 --> 00:17:05,520
bugged out to their save points within
436
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:06,959
the appointed time
437
00:17:06,959 --> 00:17:09,439
we can be really proud of the fact
438
00:17:09,439 --> 00:17:12,000
that that plan worked i knew you could
439
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:14,640
do a good job
440
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:18,720
i think that you need to be responsible
441
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:21,520
for yourself and for your family and to
442
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:25,439
do anything less is a criminal act
443
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:32,240
the experts in disaster preparedness
444
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:34,240
practical preppers have concluded that
445
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:36,400
you have multiple sources of water
446
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:38,559
and extensive food stores and that your
447
00:17:38,559 --> 00:17:40,559
home defense and emergency evacuation
448
00:17:40,559 --> 00:17:43,360
plans are excellent
449
00:17:43,360 --> 00:17:45,679
also your energy and fuel alternatives
450
00:17:45,679 --> 00:17:47,919
are exceptional you have an overall
451
00:17:47,919 --> 00:17:50,559
fantastic level of preparedness
452
00:17:50,559 --> 00:17:53,200
however keeping your 15-year food supply
453
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:56,000
in one area is a grave risk leaving you
454
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:57,840
vulnerable to losing it all with one
455
00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:00,400
direct hit or one strong attack that's a
456
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:02,000
fair assessment that would be a good
457
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:05,280
idea to diversify the food into multiple
458
00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:09,200
locations our thought on that was that
459
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:11,440
probably if our food supply was
460
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:13,200
compromised by us being overrun this
461
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:15,440
position we wouldn't really care at that
462
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:18,400
point because we'd be dead
463
00:18:19,919 --> 00:18:22,880
since the original filming we have added
464
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:25,120
several things in reference to splitting
465
00:18:25,120 --> 00:18:27,200
up our food storage we have actually
466
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:29,679
stored a little bit more food within our
467
00:18:29,679 --> 00:18:33,039
bug out vehicles and we do have caches
468
00:18:33,039 --> 00:18:35,520
along the way of our bug-out route so
469
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:36,640
that's some of the things that we've
470
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:39,360
actually changed
471
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:41,440
christopher niergash is prepping for a
472
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:43,440
killer earthquake that could completely
473
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:46,480
flatten the city of los angeles
474
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:48,559
faced with overwhelming destruction he
475
00:18:48,559 --> 00:18:50,799
plans on taking to the hollywood streets
476
00:18:50,799 --> 00:18:53,600
foraging to survive but will the experts
477
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:57,840
be impressed by his lone wolf approach
478
00:18:59,830 --> 00:19:02,400
[Music]
479
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:04,320
christopher niergesch runs several
480
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:06,799
farmers markets and teaches grows his
481
00:19:06,799 --> 00:19:08,880
own food and loves to hike in the hills
482
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:11,440
around la he's a regular down to earth
483
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:12,960
californian
484
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:16,320
except i'm preparing for the possibility
485
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:18,240
of a devastating earthquake in the city
486
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:21,039
of los angeles
487
00:19:22,559 --> 00:19:24,320
it would be the height of stupidity to
488
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:26,400
be aware of earthquakes and watch the
489
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:28,000
news and see what happens and not make
490
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:29,600
some preparations
491
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:31,280
i live here in southern california this
492
00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:32,960
is earthquake country
493
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:35,760
the san andreas fault runs like an 800
494
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:38,160
mile long scarred down the western coast
495
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:40,559
of the united states and mexico
496
00:19:40,559 --> 00:19:43,039
it's up to a mile across and at least 10
497
00:19:43,039 --> 00:19:44,320
miles deep
498
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:46,320
a gigantic earthquake along this fault
499
00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:48,480
line would rip the state of california
500
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:50,080
apart
501
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:52,400
some people do say we're past due for an
502
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:54,000
eight on the richter scale which would
503
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:56,160
be devastating in the next 30 years
504
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:57,919
geologists believe that the probability
505
00:19:57,919 --> 00:20:00,320
of a major 6.7 or higher earthquake in
506
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:04,559
southern california is nearly 100
507
00:20:04,559 --> 00:20:06,640
a truly massive quake could kill
508
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:08,960
thousands and leave millions homeless
509
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:10,640
what do you think the scenario would be
510
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:13,200
in los angeles
511
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:15,600
for example today when the lakers win a
512
00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:17,919
game the local thugs are burning cars
513
00:20:17,919 --> 00:20:19,360
and breaking into windows and looting
514
00:20:19,360 --> 00:20:22,159
stores to celebrate
515
00:20:22,159 --> 00:20:25,280
major quake will bring panicked chaotic
516
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:28,960
behavior by people
517
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:30,960
christopher's plan after a quake
518
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:32,799
includes being able to survive under the
519
00:20:32,799 --> 00:20:36,880
radar on the chaotic city streets
520
00:20:37,039 --> 00:20:39,280
everybody has a different take on what
521
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:41,679
they think preparedness is if somebody
522
00:20:41,679 --> 00:20:44,240
likes to hole up in a place and hide i
523
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:46,400
believe that that is the antithesis of
524
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:48,559
survival you've got to split you can't
525
00:20:48,559 --> 00:20:52,080
stay there you have to be on the road
526
00:20:52,799 --> 00:20:54,720
christopher regularly tests his street
527
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:56,640
survival skills right in the middle of
528
00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:59,679
the concrete jungle his only supplies
529
00:20:59,679 --> 00:21:02,480
those he can carry in his bag most
530
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:04,799
people call this a bug out pack but i
531
00:21:04,799 --> 00:21:08,720
just refer to it as a survival pack
532
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:11,679
tools are what's important this is from
533
00:21:11,679 --> 00:21:13,520
a chainsaw the wire saws in the
534
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:15,919
backpacking stores are junk oh a sling
535
00:21:15,919 --> 00:21:18,720
there are birds and ducks and things and
536
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:20,880
if i had to potentially i could catch
537
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:23,039
some meat for dinner with my sling a
538
00:21:23,039 --> 00:21:24,000
knife
539
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:27,200
can never have enough knives
540
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:28,799
i have never seen a survival kit
541
00:21:28,799 --> 00:21:30,960
manufactured that i liked
542
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:33,280
some twine because it's made with
543
00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:35,120
somebody else's needs in mind you are
544
00:21:35,120 --> 00:21:36,640
the best person for making your own
545
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:38,159
survival kit you know what your needs
546
00:21:38,159 --> 00:21:39,760
are your family's needs your terrain
547
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:42,960
what your situation is going to be
548
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:44,799
if there was a major quake there's quite
549
00:21:44,799 --> 00:21:45,760
a few things that will happen
550
00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:48,159
simultaneously electricity is going to
551
00:21:48,159 --> 00:21:51,280
go down every transaction is electronic
552
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:52,960
you won't go to a store and be able to
553
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:55,039
buy stuff certainly not with a card it
554
00:21:55,039 --> 00:21:57,600
behooves you to have cash and coin on
555
00:21:57,600 --> 00:21:59,440
hand
556
00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:02,240
along the la river the homeless guys who
557
00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:04,960
come here at night are very territorial
558
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:06,799
so you may have to engage in some
559
00:22:06,799 --> 00:22:08,320
serious trading
560
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:09,679
so one of the things that i suggest
561
00:22:09,679 --> 00:22:11,360
carrying in a survival pack like this is
562
00:22:11,360 --> 00:22:13,520
articles of trade these are a roll of
563
00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:15,679
eisenhower dollars so people will treat
564
00:22:15,679 --> 00:22:17,200
this as if it's worth more than a dollar
565
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:19,440
when they want cash but christopher is
566
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:21,280
also prepping for a time when his cash
567
00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:23,520
runs out and he will have to be able to
568
00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:26,400
trade and barter to survive homemade
569
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:28,720
arrow points it could be used for making
570
00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:30,559
arrows they could be articles of trade
571
00:22:30,559 --> 00:22:32,000
under certain circumstances they are
572
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:33,760
intrinsically useful
573
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:35,600
a massive earthquake in l.a could
574
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:39,520
decimate highways and limit supply lines
575
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:41,120
christopher believes that food will be
576
00:22:41,120 --> 00:22:42,640
in short supply
577
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:45,120
he prepares regularly foraging for his
578
00:22:45,120 --> 00:22:46,960
food in the parking lots and concrete
579
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:50,240
underpasses around the city
580
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:54,960
a lot of the greens that i eat for salad
581
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:57,039
or additions to soup and vegetable
582
00:22:57,039 --> 00:22:58,000
dishes
583
00:22:58,000 --> 00:22:59,679
they are what what most people would
584
00:22:59,679 --> 00:23:01,520
call weeds
585
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:03,440
we're along the la river and we've got a
586
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:05,120
freeway next to us
587
00:23:05,120 --> 00:23:06,559
and you'd think that there's no food
588
00:23:06,559 --> 00:23:07,679
here at all
589
00:23:07,679 --> 00:23:09,360
but the fact is there really is food
590
00:23:09,360 --> 00:23:12,240
everywhere food is not in short supply
591
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:15,440
it's uh brains that are in short supply
592
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:17,600
here's one example of an edible plant
593
00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:20,480
it's called lambsquarter or wild spinach
594
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:21,919
frequently i'll go out and we'll find
595
00:23:21,919 --> 00:23:23,200
greens and we'll make a salad in the
596
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:25,120
wild i'm going to take just a few of the
597
00:23:25,120 --> 00:23:28,050
tips for a lunch later
598
00:23:28,050 --> 00:23:31,120
[Music]
599
00:23:31,120 --> 00:23:33,600
in just a two acre area christopher has
600
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:35,679
foraged 10 different plants that can be
601
00:23:35,679 --> 00:23:37,760
used to make his salad
602
00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:39,600
just chopping it all into bite-size
603
00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:41,440
pieces
604
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:43,679
my survival kit usually has salad
605
00:23:43,679 --> 00:23:44,780
dressing
606
00:23:44,780 --> 00:23:46,320
[Music]
607
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:48,000
one of my motivating reasons for getting
608
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:49,520
into botany in the first place was that
609
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:51,919
if there was a widespread disaster i
610
00:23:51,919 --> 00:23:54,320
could eat
611
00:23:55,039 --> 00:23:56,799
i know that i'm never going to be hungry
612
00:23:56,799 --> 00:23:58,000
for the rest of my life because there's
613
00:23:58,000 --> 00:23:59,200
plenty of food everywhere even if there
614
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:00,770
are no stores
615
00:24:00,770 --> 00:24:03,440
[Music]
616
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:06,000
if the big one hits the city's hospitals
617
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:08,720
could be severely damaged understaffed
618
00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:12,000
and overflowing with patients
619
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:13,919
christopher's botanical skills allow him
620
00:24:13,919 --> 00:24:15,520
to treat wounds with just what he can
621
00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:17,600
find growing in the city the willow tree
622
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:19,279
is found everywhere where there's water
623
00:24:19,279 --> 00:24:21,520
see this is a medicinal plant when you
624
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:23,919
take off the fresh bark their cambium
625
00:24:23,919 --> 00:24:26,080
layer contains a high amount of salicin
626
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:29,039
or salicylic acid that's aspirin what if
627
00:24:29,039 --> 00:24:30,720
i get into a knife fight what if i had a
628
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:32,080
wound on my arm you don't want
629
00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:33,919
infections you want to stop the bleeding
630
00:24:33,919 --> 00:24:36,000
make it a little bit moist
631
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:38,400
press it onto a wound and i would bind
632
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:40,000
this on tightly onto the wound and leave
633
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:41,760
it there for a while to get the effect
634
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:46,080
of the aspirin or the salicylic acid
635
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:47,679
settling down for the night in the
636
00:24:47,679 --> 00:24:49,760
dangerous and quake devastated city
637
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:52,960
means being able to light a fire fire is
638
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:55,279
as critical and i could even argue
639
00:24:55,279 --> 00:24:57,279
more critical than food
640
00:24:57,279 --> 00:24:58,880
i can remember going into the woods with
641
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:01,200
book matches and stick matches and in
642
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:03,279
the rain and in the wet and the cold
643
00:25:03,279 --> 00:25:06,480
that's just not good enough
644
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:08,480
christopher carries fire starters at all
645
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:10,559
times and can even create a fire using
646
00:25:10,559 --> 00:25:13,720
just scraps
647
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:16,240
the hand drill method uses a stick to
648
00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:18,400
create friction and sparks in a notch of
649
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:21,200
soft wood in the old days when native
650
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:23,279
americans left home like we might leave
651
00:25:23,279 --> 00:25:24,640
home and you can't leave home without
652
00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:26,720
your credit card and your cell phone
653
00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:28,400
they had to have some kind of a knife in
654
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:29,919
the fire starter those were like
655
00:25:29,919 --> 00:25:32,400
absolutely critical tools for survival
656
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:34,880
and for day to day functioning so we
657
00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:37,039
finally got our fire
658
00:25:37,039 --> 00:25:39,200
we can cook our food we can purify our
659
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:40,400
water
660
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:43,440
we can make tools we could signal
661
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:45,120
we could stay warm
662
00:25:45,120 --> 00:25:48,080
we could stay alive
663
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:50,400
i've survived in the urban environment
664
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:52,320
my whole life to be able to go into
665
00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:53,679
nature and create something that you
666
00:25:53,679 --> 00:25:54,480
need

that's invaluable

i mean you can't buy that
669
00:25:59,919 --> 00:26:01,279
if the world came to an end and
670
00:26:01,279 --> 00:26:03,120
civilization collapsed i do feel
671
00:26:03,120 --> 00:26:04,720
confident that there is a sufficient
672
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:06,880
number of people out there today that
673
00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:08,880
are doing and practicing these things
674
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:11,590

681
00:26:25,360 --> 00:26:29,120
invaluable if the big one were to hit la
682

however
683
00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:31,840

685
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:34,559
you must accept the possibility that

00:26:34,559 --> 00:26:36,880
during an earthquake the wild areas in
687
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:39,440
l.a may quickly become depleted i
688
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:41,039
completely agree
689
00:26:41,039 --> 00:26:43,039
we recommend that you store more food to
690

prepare for this possibility

00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:48,240
that you can never have enough you
693
00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:49,600
should always have more water than you
694
00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:50,880
think is sufficient
695
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:53,039
and you should always have more food

well i have looked at what i store and

what i do and i have tried to make a few
712
00:27:32,159 --> 00:27:33,679
minor adjustments but i look at the
713
00:27:33,679 --> 00:27:35,360
skills that i try to develop and the
714
00:27:35,360 --> 00:27:36,960

00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:54,320
an oil crisis in my lifetime
749
00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:55,919
the united states is the largest
750
00:28:55,919 --> 00:28:58,480
consumer of oil in the world and megan
751
00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:00,720
believes that when an oil crisis occurs
752
00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:02,799
the united states oil reserves will be
753
00:29:02,799 --> 00:29:05,679
quickly used up
754
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:08,799
oils used to make a lot of the products
755
00:29:08,799 --> 00:29:10,640
that we use today
756
00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:13,200
it's used to power our cars and to power
757
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:16,799
the 18 wheelers that take us food
758
00:29:16,799 --> 00:29:18,559
if the middle eastern countries suddenly
759
00:29:18,559 --> 00:29:20,320
cut us off for gas
760
00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:23,200
we would be very very quickly in trouble
761
00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:24,640
houston scott's just about three-day
762
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:27,600
supply of everything including oil and
763
00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:29,679
food all of that would go off the
764
00:29:29,679 --> 00:29:32,320
shelves almost immediately
765
00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:34,559
megan fears a global oil crisis will
766
00:29:34,559 --> 00:29:36,799
hurl the country and her city into chaos
767
00:29:36,799 --> 00:29:38,840
in a matter of
768
00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:42,159
days we're gonna starve
769
00:29:42,159 --> 00:29:43,840
that's going to send everybody into a
770
00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:45,120
panic
771
00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:46,480
they're going to run out to all the
772
00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:48,559
supermarkets and buy up everything that
773
00:29:48,559 --> 00:29:51,039
you need to survive
774
00:29:51,039 --> 00:29:52,880
people are going to start stealing other
775
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:55,520
people's food you're gonna hear gunshots
776
00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:57,440
a lot of them people are gonna start to
777
00:29:57,440 --> 00:29:59,520
kill each other when people's kids go
778
00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:01,919
hungry they're gonna come after you
779
00:30:01,919 --> 00:30:03,679
your lives would be in danger my life
780
00:30:03,679 --> 00:30:05,200
would be in danger and it would happen
781
00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:08,480
within a matter of days
782
00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:10,399
megan lives in a 700 square foot
783
00:30:10,399 --> 00:30:11,520
apartment
784
00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:13,120
which makes prepping for long-term
785
00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:16,080
survival a challenge
786
00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:18,799
there are so many problems prepping in a
787
00:30:18,799 --> 00:30:21,279
tiny little urban apartment we have no
788
00:30:21,279 --> 00:30:23,360
space for preps we've had to fill up
789
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:26,159
every nook and cranny with canned goods
790
00:30:26,159 --> 00:30:28,960
and water we've had to dedicate a lot of
791
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:33,039
space in our second bedroom
792
00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:37,360
we've got mres
793
00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:38,880
most likely this will feed me for three
794
00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:40,960
months i have a veggie bank and an herb
795
00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:42,880
bank it's important to have seats
796
00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:45,440
because if the stuff really hits the fan
797
00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:47,520
you're not gonna have any way of
798
00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:49,039
buying food
799
00:30:49,039 --> 00:30:50,399
these are the safes
800
00:30:50,399 --> 00:30:52,080
this one's for smaller handguns and
801
00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:54,720
pistols this one's for full rifles
802
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:58,640
i've got guns bullets lots of bullets
803
00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:00,960
lots of bullets
804
00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:03,360
i used to be a lot more shallow i still
805
00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:05,600
love high heels and i love fashion but
806
00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:07,200
i'm also thinking about is there
807
00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:09,519
anything that i can conceal a weapon in
808
00:31:09,519 --> 00:31:11,440
is there anything that i can hook a
809
00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:13,919
harness to is there anything that i can
810
00:31:13,919 --> 00:31:17,120
store a gun case in
811
00:31:17,519 --> 00:31:19,440
i plan to bug in anywhere from two to
812
00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:21,360
four weeks in this apartment have my
813
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:23,519
preps that i have here to feed myself
814
00:31:23,519 --> 00:31:25,600
and to keep myself hydrated wait for
815
00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:28,240
everybody to panic and leave and then
816
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:30,880
bug out as soon as everybody's left i'll
817
00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:33,360
be walking out of houston to a bug-out
818
00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:36,559
vehicle an undisclosed location
819
00:31:36,559 --> 00:31:39,760
i'm going to mexico
820
00:31:40,559 --> 00:31:42,480
survival kitty wants to be cute that's
821
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:44,880
his plan of survival unfortunately cats
822
00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:46,559
are not as useful as dogs when it comes
823
00:31:46,559 --> 00:31:48,720
to survival situation my boyfriend's
824
00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:51,760
plan for the kitty cats if the fan is to
825
00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:53,279
put a bullet in their head
826
00:31:53,279 --> 00:31:54,960
they had a good life we've spoiled them
827
00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:56,559
rotten and he insists that once we get
828
00:31:56,559 --> 00:31:59,440
to the bug out location we'll
829
00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:02,480
we'll take more in
830
00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:05,200
sorry timber
831
00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:08,000
right there right in the brain stem
832
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:10,320
i've only been called crazy for prepping
833
00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:12,559
once but she was really malicious about
834
00:32:12,559 --> 00:32:15,200
it but you know what when it hits the
835
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:17,360
fan she's gonna starve to death and i'm
836
00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:19,679
gonna go
837
00:32:20,559 --> 00:32:22,880
expecting a middle east oil shutdown
838
00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:24,960
megan has devised a way to evacuate
839
00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:26,240
houston
840
00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:28,320
but how will she hold up in a real-time
841
00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:30,320
bug-out simulation i think that was one
842
00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:31,919
of the mistakes that i made this time
843
00:32:31,919 --> 00:32:34,159
and what will the experts ultimately say
844
00:32:34,159 --> 00:32:38,159
about her urban survival strategy
845
00:32:40,559 --> 00:32:42,960
megan hurwitz is a vibrant 20-something
846
00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:44,799
who spends her spare time taking full
847
00:32:44,799 --> 00:32:47,120
advantage of houston's nightlife she is
848
00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:49,200
also preparing for a global energy
849
00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:51,679
catastrophe that she fears will cause
850
00:32:51,679 --> 00:32:53,200
complete chaos
851
00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:55,279
which will make bugging out her only
852
00:32:55,279 --> 00:32:58,320
chance at survival
853
00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:00,799
bugging out basically means taking the
854
00:33:00,799 --> 00:33:03,120
goods that you need to survive putting
855
00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:05,039
them in a backpack and walking out on
856
00:33:05,039 --> 00:33:07,360
foot this is my go bag
857
00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:10,080
my go bag has 24 hours worth of preps
858
00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:12,240
that i keep on me at all times it's
859
00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:14,000
really easy to carry around it's very
860
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:15,840
inconspicuous it's meant for an
861
00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:17,919
emergency situation where i will be
862
00:33:17,919 --> 00:33:20,240
coming back home feminine products are
863
00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:22,080
really important to keep spares of i
864
00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:24,240
keep pictures of my social security card
865
00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:26,159
my driver's license my passport and
866
00:33:26,159 --> 00:33:28,799
birth control right now we have 160
867
00:33:28,799 --> 00:33:30,240
condoms
868
00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:33,279
so it'll it'll last us you know four or
869
00:33:33,279 --> 00:33:35,760
five days
870
00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:38,399
this is my inch bag an inch bag stands
871
00:33:38,399 --> 00:33:40,880
for i'm not coming home
872
00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:42,399
and it carries everything that i would
873
00:33:42,399 --> 00:33:44,640
need in order to survive
874
00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:46,799
long enough to get to my bug out vehicle
875
00:33:46,799 --> 00:33:48,880
the great thing about this bag is that
876
00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:51,279
it carries a lot of stuff but one of the
877
00:33:51,279 --> 00:33:53,360
deterrents is that it's extremely
878
00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:56,000
obvious this bag would be saying please
879
00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:58,080
mug me take my stuff and leave me for
880
00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:00,240
dead
881
00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:01,600
megan believes that the crippling
882
00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:04,000
economic effects of an oil crisis will
883
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:07,799
increase crime exponentially
884
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:10,079
today she goes shopping for a bug out
885
00:34:10,079 --> 00:34:12,079
bag that might reduce her risk of
886
00:34:12,079 --> 00:34:13,918
becoming a statistic
887
00:34:13,918 --> 00:34:16,320
i'm looking for a better bug out
888
00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:17,599
bag i need something a little bit more
889
00:34:17,599 --> 00:34:19,280
discreet than a camping bag i'm
890
00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:22,320
preparing for the worst as we all should
891
00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:23,839
and so i'm looking for something with an
892
00:34:23,839 --> 00:34:26,320
external frame that i can hook bags to
893
00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:28,800
so i can carry untraditional shape gear
894
00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:31,040
this particular unit as you can see
895
00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:33,199
it hides everything that identifies it
896
00:34:33,199 --> 00:34:35,679
as a backpack it goes within the ceiling
897
00:34:35,679 --> 00:34:37,040
compartment
898
00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:38,480
then it looks like a regular out of
899
00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:40,000
share or regular
900
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:41,599
as i mean instead of you carrying it
901
00:34:41,599 --> 00:34:43,199
like that when you do get to the point
902
00:34:43,199 --> 00:34:45,119
that you have to have so much overweight
903
00:34:45,119 --> 00:34:47,520
and expansion within the bag
904
00:34:47,520 --> 00:34:49,359
and you can barely easily convert it
905
00:34:49,359 --> 00:34:52,960
into a bag i want one of those okay
906
00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:55,359
like you have no other stuff on you
907
00:34:55,359 --> 00:34:57,440
what's the one thing that you would need
908
00:34:57,440 --> 00:34:59,040
pepper spray is probably the easiest
909
00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:00,960
thing that a lot of women will carry
910
00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:03,520
think of this the adrenaline is flowing
911
00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:05,280
but guess what
912
00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:06,800
it's not flowing in you until you're
913
00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:08,800
touched it's already flowing once you've
914
00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:12,079
been contained or held then the scenario
915
00:35:12,079 --> 00:35:13,680
changes you're going to have to have the
916
00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:16,160
mindset if it ever happens i'm going to
917
00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:18,560
survive
918
00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:21,359
i have some skills that i can trade i
919
00:35:21,359 --> 00:35:23,680
have some useful preps that i can trade
920
00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:25,520
and i think that i would survive on my
921
00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:28,079
feet for uh three or four months before
922
00:35:28,079 --> 00:35:30,000
i'd have to resort to less than savory
923
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:32,640
means of supporting myself
924
00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:34,000
you don't want to end up having to
925
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:37,040
yourself out in order to live and really
926
00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:38,960
that's what a lot of women would face
927
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:41,200
megan plans to escape houston by hiking
928
00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:43,440
out of the city with her 40-pound inch
929
00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:45,920
bag in preparation she works out four
930
00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:48,400
hours a day six days a week to make sure
931
00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:50,960
she will be able to complete the journey
932
00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:52,640
when the oil runs out the cars won't
933
00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:54,320
work the planes won't fly the trucks
934
00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:55,680
won't drive
935
00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:56,839
and i'm a
936
00:35:56,839 --> 00:35:59,440
machine i have to make every part of me
937
00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:01,440
work at peak efficiency i'm preparing
938
00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:03,040
for a time when i might have to fight my
939
00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:05,119
way out of the city
940
00:36:05,119 --> 00:36:06,800
i'm gonna have to do a lot of climbing
941
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:08,720
up and down buildings
942
00:36:08,720 --> 00:36:10,400
trying to get away
943
00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:13,520
evasive maneuvers
944
00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:15,200
so uh it's good for the ankles to kind
945
00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:16,640
of practice up you don't want to snap
946
00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:18,160
one when you're doing your actual bug
947
00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:18,800
out because there's not going to be
948
00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:21,520
anyone to help you
949
00:36:22,240 --> 00:36:23,359
and you're going to run into people who
950
00:36:23,359 --> 00:36:26,720
may have nefarious purposes
951
00:36:26,720 --> 00:36:28,400
megan will need more than just brute
952
00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:30,240
strength to survive
953
00:36:30,240 --> 00:36:32,320
today she works with survival specialist
954
00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:36,079
larry phelan to learn important skills
955
00:36:36,079 --> 00:36:37,920
megan came to me today to learn more
956
00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:40,160
about survival if she has any problems
957
00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:42,880
with you know the upcoming issues with
958
00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:45,040
the collapse of our society or whatever
959
00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:47,520
what can i do exactly if i lose my knife
960
00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:51,359
a knife is very easily made with a rock
961
00:36:51,359 --> 00:36:52,960
the edge
962
00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:55,760
wow break those off like that and clean
963
00:36:55,760 --> 00:36:56,800
your fish
964
00:36:56,800 --> 00:36:58,240
so right now i'm following along the
965
00:36:58,240 --> 00:37:00,320
vertebrae don't head that way too much
966
00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:01,599
you got to get down until you get the
967
00:37:01,599 --> 00:37:03,599
right spot there you can feel that bone
968
00:37:03,599 --> 00:37:06,240
touching your rock
969
00:37:06,240 --> 00:37:08,000
cooking the fish will actually decrease
970
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:09,520
the amount of nutrients and the calories
971
00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:10,720
that you're going to get so eating it
972
00:37:10,720 --> 00:37:12,720
raw is actually preferable and i'm about
973
00:37:12,720 --> 00:37:15,040
to do that
974
00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:18,960
fishy but very very very fresh
975
00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:21,760
if chaos engulfs houston as megan
976
00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:24,079
believes she feels she needs additional
977
00:37:24,079 --> 00:37:27,839
security which one you're shooting at
978
00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:32,560
when the hits the fan
979
00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:34,079
don't be the one standing in front of
980
00:37:34,079 --> 00:37:35,359
the fan
981
00:37:35,359 --> 00:37:37,680
you better be prepared to defend
982
00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:39,599
yourself
983
00:37:39,599 --> 00:37:41,440
any specific tips for how to deal with
984
00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:43,280
the situation as a woman you just have
985
00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:45,200
to make sure that they hear authority in
986
00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:46,880
your voice you want to make sure they
987
00:37:46,880 --> 00:37:49,200
understand that i am not your average
988
00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:51,359
moment i will pop a cap in your ass and
989
00:37:51,359 --> 00:37:54,640
you're not taking my nice
990
00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:57,040
the ar is a good choice for her you're
991
00:37:57,040 --> 00:37:59,520
gonna have a hard time beating this gun
992
00:37:59,520 --> 00:38:01,760
for fighting people
993
00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:03,440
one of my biggest issues is that i have
994
00:38:03,440 --> 00:38:05,599
trouble loading the magazines quickly
995
00:38:05,599 --> 00:38:07,200
give it a spank
996
00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:08,720
in a combat situation that would
997
00:38:08,720 --> 00:38:10,000
actually really slow me down and be a
998
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:12,000
detriment to me well and that's why you
999
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:14,560
need to darn sure practice that
1000
00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:18,640
the ar-15 is my favorite
1001
00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:19,760
i sure as hell wouldn't want you
1002
00:38:19,760 --> 00:38:20,690
shooting at me
1003
00:38:20,690 --> 00:38:22,000
[Music]
1004
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:24,000
megan is prepping for a catastrophic
1005
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:26,560
global oil crisis that she believes will
1006
00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:28,800
occur in her lifetime but when she is
1007
00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:30,960
faced with a practice bug out will she
1008
00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:32,800
be truly prepared
1009
00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:34,640
and what will the experts practical
1010
00:38:34,640 --> 00:38:36,560
preppers think of her preparations and
1011
00:38:36,560 --> 00:38:38,880
her evacuation plan this pack's getting
1012
00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:41,760
pretty heavy
1013
00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:45,599
megan hurwitz is preparing for a global
1014
00:38:45,599 --> 00:38:47,760
oil crisis which she believes will lead
1015
00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:51,280
to a total breakdown of civilization
1016
00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:53,599
this party girl turned prepper practices
1017
00:38:53,599 --> 00:38:56,640
shooting regularly just put the gun up
1018
00:38:56,640 --> 00:38:59,839
and does intense workouts
1019
00:38:59,839 --> 00:39:02,240
in the event of an oil shutdown megan
1020
00:39:02,240 --> 00:39:04,240
fears that all motorized transportation
1021
00:39:04,240 --> 00:39:06,960
will be useless making the 50 000 miles
1022
00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:08,640
of houston roadways
1023
00:39:08,640 --> 00:39:11,920
a giant parking lot
1024
00:39:13,440 --> 00:39:15,680
she believes her only chance to escape
1025
00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:16,880
to safety
1026
00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:18,880
is on foot
1027
00:39:18,880 --> 00:39:22,560
bye kitties behave yourself
1028
00:39:23,359 --> 00:39:25,520
tonight all of megan's preps and
1029
00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:27,119
training will be put to the ultimate
1030
00:39:27,119 --> 00:39:29,680
test a practice run of her on foot
1031
00:39:29,680 --> 00:39:31,440
evacuation plan
1032
00:39:31,440 --> 00:39:34,000
it's gonna be 10 to 12 miles depending
1033
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:35,920
upon what i have to go around and what
1034
00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:37,359
obstacles i'm gonna have to travel
1035
00:39:37,359 --> 00:39:39,520
through
1036
00:39:39,520 --> 00:39:41,040
the best time to do this would be right
1037
00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:43,520
at dusk that way i'll have enough cover
1038
00:39:43,520 --> 00:39:45,200
of darkness
1039
00:39:45,200 --> 00:39:48,400
but i'll still be able to see
1040
00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:49,760
there's a good chance there won't be any
1041
00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:51,359
power so i'll be
1042
00:39:51,359 --> 00:39:55,720
completely in the dark for the most part
1043
00:39:56,960 --> 00:39:58,240
i'll be starting from the heights and
1044
00:39:58,240 --> 00:40:00,320
making my way down montrose
1045
00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:02,800
and straight through the city
1046
00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:05,359
if i hurry i can be there in three hours
1047
00:40:05,359 --> 00:40:07,520
if there's blockades he could take me
1048
00:40:07,520 --> 00:40:10,720
all the way to four or five
1049
00:40:10,720 --> 00:40:12,480
when i do this for real
1050
00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:15,520
all this is gonna be dark
1051
00:40:15,520 --> 00:40:17,760
there's a few areas that i walk through
1052
00:40:17,760 --> 00:40:21,520
that uh are not the most savory
1053
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:23,200
there were a few points when i thought i
1054
00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:26,560
might need to pull out my handgun
1055
00:40:29,599 --> 00:40:30,800
some of the sketchy errors i was a
1056
00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:33,040
little worried about getting mugged
1057
00:40:33,040 --> 00:40:34,880
it's happened to me before it could
1058
00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:37,280
happen again
1059
00:40:37,280 --> 00:40:40,079
i could handle myself
1060
00:40:40,079 --> 00:40:41,200
from here we're gonna head out of the
1061
00:40:41,200 --> 00:40:42,160
city
1062
00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:44,240
until i reach my bug-out vehicle and
1063
00:40:44,240 --> 00:40:45,920
then i'll be able to drive to my bug out
1064
00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:48,400
location
1065
00:40:48,560 --> 00:40:50,240
i'm about six miles from my final
1066
00:40:50,240 --> 00:40:51,680
destination
1067
00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:53,200
and i've covered about six miles of
1068
00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:56,000
ground you do
1069
00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:57,680
you should always carry spare pair on
1070
00:40:57,680 --> 00:40:59,760
you
1071
00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:02,240
kind of getting tired
1072
00:41:02,240 --> 00:41:05,599
ah this pack's getting a little heavy
1073
00:41:05,599 --> 00:41:07,440
my feet feel like they're about to fall
1074
00:41:07,440 --> 00:41:09,119
off my ankles
1075
00:41:09,119 --> 00:41:10,960
so it's been a long
1076
00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:12,800
long six hours
1077
00:41:12,800 --> 00:41:14,640
hike uh took twice as long as i thought
1078
00:41:14,640 --> 00:41:16,079
it was going to i'm just going to
1079
00:41:16,079 --> 00:41:18,319
continue to follow
1080
00:41:18,319 --> 00:41:21,119
the brook out of town in a real bug-out
1081
00:41:21,119 --> 00:41:23,680
situation it's best to follow the sewer
1082
00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:25,440
lines and the rivers because they're
1083
00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:27,200
inconspicuous
1084
00:41:27,200 --> 00:41:29,040
there's a somewhat fresh stream of water
1085
00:41:29,040 --> 00:41:31,280
that can be purified
1086
00:41:31,280 --> 00:41:33,280
it's usually below the water table it's
1087
00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:35,440
away from the streets it's really the
1088
00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:38,240
best way to go
1089
00:41:38,319 --> 00:41:39,920
i think next time i'm going to carry
1090
00:41:39,920 --> 00:41:42,240
less gear maybe i can invest in some
1091
00:41:42,240 --> 00:41:43,359
lighter
1092
00:41:43,359 --> 00:41:44,720
lighter gear
1093
00:41:44,720 --> 00:41:45,920
when you're doing
1094
00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:47,760
a real bug out you want to be carrying
1095
00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:50,319
in ounces not pounds and i think that
1096
00:41:50,319 --> 00:41:51,839
was one of the mistakes that i made this
1097
00:41:51,839 --> 00:41:54,160
time
1098
00:41:54,480 --> 00:41:56,240
all right i'm exhausted but i'm losing
1099
00:41:56,240 --> 00:41:59,680
time and i'm almost there
1100
00:42:00,960 --> 00:42:03,839
not much further
1101
00:42:08,160 --> 00:42:10,319
i'm by no means an expert at any of this
1102
00:42:10,319 --> 00:42:11,280
stuff
1103
00:42:11,280 --> 00:42:13,200
even with all the preparation and all
1104
00:42:13,200 --> 00:42:15,119
the skill sets i'm trying to learn and
1105
00:42:15,119 --> 00:42:16,640
all the foresight that i'm putting into
1106
00:42:16,640 --> 00:42:19,200
prepping to hit the fan next week i
1107
00:42:19,200 --> 00:42:21,200
probably wouldn't make it if it hits the
1108
00:42:21,200 --> 00:42:25,359
fan in five years i'll probably be okay
1109
00:42:26,319 --> 00:42:27,359
megan
1110
00:42:27,359 --> 00:42:29,680
if as you predicted there's a global oil
1111
00:42:29,680 --> 00:42:31,440
crisis in your lifetime
1112
00:42:31,440 --> 00:42:34,000
the experts practical preppers feel that
1113
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:35,599
your food and water storage will leave
1114
00:42:35,599 --> 00:42:37,520
you woefully unprepared to remain in
1115
00:42:37,520 --> 00:42:39,599
your apartment for any length of time
1116
00:42:39,599 --> 00:42:41,920
that's about all we can afford
1117
00:42:41,920 --> 00:42:44,000
and your plan to leave houston will be
1118
00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:46,480
your only alternative
1119
00:42:46,480 --> 00:42:48,319
improving your self-defense skills and
1120
00:42:48,319 --> 00:42:50,240
physical conditioning and having a
1121
00:42:50,240 --> 00:42:54,319
prepped out bag are all important steps
1122
00:42:54,319 --> 00:42:55,520
however
1123
00:42:55,520 --> 00:42:57,440
you should have at least two alternative
1124
00:42:57,440 --> 00:42:59,520
routes i believe i have a smart route
1125
00:42:59,520 --> 00:43:01,119
for evacuating the city but i haven't
1126
00:43:01,119 --> 00:43:02,960
given much thought to a secondary or
1127
00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:04,800
tertiary plan that's something that i'll
1128
00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:07,760
be looking into very shortly
1129
00:43:07,760 --> 00:43:10,400
also the experts review estimates that
1130
00:43:10,400 --> 00:43:12,800
your bug out vehicle has only enough gas
1131
00:43:12,800 --> 00:43:15,040
to take you 300 miles
1132
00:43:15,040 --> 00:43:18,160
at a minimum mexico is 320 miles from
1133
00:43:18,160 --> 00:43:20,720
houston the experts advise that you
1134
00:43:20,720 --> 00:43:22,960
store additional fuel in your vehicle or
1135
00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:25,440
have hidden caches along the way i may
1136
00:43:25,440 --> 00:43:26,960
not have enough gas to complete the
1137
00:43:26,960 --> 00:43:28,319
journey but i believe that there are
1138
00:43:28,319 --> 00:43:30,400
opportunities to acquire trade for it
1139
00:43:30,400 --> 00:43:32,880
along the way
1140
00:43:35,760 --> 00:43:38,960
since national geographic has left
1141
00:43:38,960 --> 00:43:43,040
i enlisted myself in the us military
1142
00:43:43,040 --> 00:43:46,079
in the hopes that i would be able to
1143
00:43:46,079 --> 00:43:46,960
help
1144
00:43:46,960 --> 00:43:50,000
my fellow civilians if times were to
1145
00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:53,200
grow darker than they are now
1146
00:43:53,200 --> 00:43:56,560
and i've actually completely revisited
1147
00:43:56,560 --> 00:43:58,800
our bug out location i don't think i
1148
00:43:58,800 --> 00:44:01,280
want to head down to mexico because of
1149
00:44:01,280 --> 00:44:02,240
the
1150
00:44:02,240 --> 00:44:05,040
violence that's prevalent in that area
1151
00:44:05,040 --> 00:44:08,720
my advice to people is get it together
1152
00:44:08,720 --> 00:44:11,200
because
1153
00:44:11,200 --> 00:44:14,160
anything could happen
1154
00:44:15,440 --> 00:44:17,040
how likely are the events featured in
1155
00:44:17,040 --> 00:44:18,319
this program
1156
00:44:18,319 --> 00:44:19,920
the earth's magnetic poles swap about
1157
00:44:19,920 --> 00:44:21,359
every four hundred thousand years but
1158
00:44:21,359 --> 00:44:23,119
there is no evidence that a swap is due
1159
00:44:23,119 --> 00:44:24,880
soon and it wouldn't impact the earth's
1160
00:44:24,880 --> 00:44:27,839
tilt rotation or seismic activity there
1161
00:44:27,839 --> 00:44:29,280
has never been a complete cutoff of
1162
00:44:29,280 --> 00:44:31,280
foreign oil to the united states and
1163
00:44:31,280 --> 00:44:32,720
it's not likely
1164
00:44:32,720 --> 00:44:34,839
top importers are allies canada and
1165
00:44:34,839 --> 00:44:37,680
mexico also the u.s produces about half
1166
00:44:37,680 --> 00:44:39,920
the oil it consumes and it has more than
1167
00:44:39,920 --> 00:44:42,079
a month's supply in the world's largest
1168
00:44:42,079 --> 00:44:45,119
government stockpile
1169
00:44:45,280 --> 00:44:46,640
and the possibility of a major
1170
00:44:46,640 --> 00:44:49,200
earthquake a magnitude 8.0 or higher
1171
00:44:49,200 --> 00:44:50,880
could hit los angeles in the next 30
1172
00:44:50,880 --> 00:44:52,880
years but the chances are less than 3
1173
00:44:52,880 --> 00:44:55,790
percent
1174
00:44:55,790 --> 00:45:05,530
[Music]
1175
00:45:06,800 --> 00:45:09,800
