across the country ordinary Americans

from all walks of life are taking

whatever measures necessary to prepare

I'm preparing for a global earthquake an

electromagnetic pulse total economic

collapse terrorist attack catastrophic

tsunami and protect themselves pounce on

the prey

from what they perceive is the fast

approaching end of the world as we know

it you are the most stubborn son of a

I've ever met in my life I swear

to God

next we go inside the lives of three

committed Preppers who have devised

extensive plans

it's beautiful since I've never had one

of these in my hand how do I aim this

gone to Great Lengths this is kind of a

high traffic area I think we should go

all the way vertical make it happen and

made huge personal sacrifices to ensure

their very survival either one of you

currently have any addictions

the experts will assess their preps to

see if they have what it takes

that's big to survive let's get

everything loaded it's just all the FED

over the top for me

[Music]

good morning

from the North End organic Nursery

you're tuned into an all-organic

gardening show that focuses on things

that you can do to be more

self-sufficient and being more dependent

on yourself and less dependent on the

world around you Lindsay is the co-host

of a radio show in Boise Idaho about

organic gardening and the back to the

land movement

today we're talking about food

preservation she and her husband Ray

Pride themselves on their urban

homesteading lifestyle

but Ray and Lindsey are in homesteading

just for nutritional or environmental

benefits

getting back to the land is their key to

survival if the World As We Know It Ends

we're preparing for the collapse of the

world's agricultural system

[Music]

what people don't realize is that a lot

of preppers are people like us where

everyday business owners we'd run very

normal lives my daughter goes to

gymnastics I take her to school every

day back in the day everybody was

prepared because they weren't so reliant

on other people to make sure their lives

work so Preppers today are really like

how our ancestors used to be smart

in 2012 the United States saw one of the

worst droughts since the 1930s dust bowl

and the hottest year ever recorded in

U.S history

nearly 80 percent of the country's

agricultural land was affected and

soybean and corn prices were at

record-breaking highs Ray and Lindsay

weren't surprised the collapse of the

world agricultural system is happening

now in the midwest we're having Mass

amounts of drought

climate change is changing the way that

farmers are able to reliably produce

their food people are severely detached

from the food system nobody knows how to

farm for the most part we've got a whole

bunch of City dwellers that are

dependent on a very small population of

farmers to keep them alive and if those

Farmers aren't able to deliver that food

to the table people are going to panic

and not be able to eat and feed their

families

if the world's agricultural system

collapses Lindsay's convinced only those

capable of producing their own food will

be able to survive

so she actively encourages her entire

Community to ready themselves through

her weekly call-in radio show on

sustainable living

it's three days worth of food is all we

have if all of a sudden we just stopped

supplying our supermarkets after that

you're on your own even if it's a small

disruption it could really turn into a

lot of chaos if you've got your own

garden and if you've got your own

ability to store and prepare food then

it's not going to affect you that much

while Lindsay concentrates on spreading

her message her husband Ray a former

Marine sees a darker potential

consequence of rampant food shortages I

don't think I'm paranoid

I just think I'm well informed and

prepared

my greatest fear will be the rioting the

lutein as we've seen in other disasters

across the country and across the world

the police will all go home the

firefighters will all go home there'll

be places of Blaze and before it ever

gets to that point my family and I will

bug out to our location to escape the

mobs of hungry people they fear Rey and

Lindsay plan to flee the city and head

off the grid to a secret location deep

in the Idaho mountains my Bug out

location is surrounded by National

Forest that has two streams on property

with a deep well

and has cabins that are made up in the

wood that we cut on our own land we have

security systems whether it be multiple

guns ammunition communication systems

whether it be VHF ham radio portable

walkie-talkies we have everything that

we need to survive Ray and Lindsay have

four years of food waiting for them at

their Bug out location

they keep more hidden in plain sight at

home

to many their backyard might look like

every other in the neighborhood but

every tree and shrub serves a proper

purpose we've basically turned our

entire landscape into something edible

veggies you know from zucchini and

tomatoes we have fruit trees of all

kinds and then we have grapes and

blackberries Lindsay and Ray's home only

has about four acres of land for growing

food so far they've crammed several

hundred edible plants into their

backyard

to preserve it and prepare it for

bugging out Lindsay cans as much of what

they grow as possible I do a lot of my

own canning so I can my own garden

vegetables I buy things in season and

can them dehydrate them do things

that'll make them last longer and these

are all things that'll sustain us

through you know several years like his

wife Ray believes most people won't be

prepared for Global agricultural

collapse

but he's concerned many in their area

will look to them for salvation I'm

constantly

told by my friends

whoever hits the fan

we're going to come looking for you

because we know that you're prepared

well

the hard truth is when it hits the fan

I'm not going to be able to support you

and your family

you need to have your own preparations

if any unwanted visitors refuse to take

no for an answer raise prepared to do

whatever it takes to defend what's his

there's nothing that I wouldn't do

protect my family in any kind of

Doomsday scenario

I could totally sleep tomorrow night

if I had to use Force deadly force

to prevent people from taking food out

of my family's mouth I have multiple

weapons with various calibers and as a

United States Marine I have absolutely

no doubt in my ability to hit what I am

firing upon as a marine Rey was taught

that teamwork is the key to successful

operations so he's been fortifying his

survival plan by recruiting other

able-bodied men and women to join his

team of Preppers I have a team of people

for my Bug out location because I can't

do everything myself tonight raise

gathered his team to interview two new

candidates the two new prospective

members to our team are currently

active duty United States military

personnel so it is imperative for

operational security of our Retreat that

we do not reveal their identity at this

time

we realize you guys have weapons and

guard Duty experience but do you have

any other relevant experience that you

can uh tell us about

I think the the both of us have

extremely high proficient uh outdoor

type skills so anything from actually

working with the crops to going out and

hunting together food we can definitely

bring to the table and also as long as I

can remember I've I've had a hand in

gardens and and fields around the Farms

so I feel really confident that I could

be a lot of help in food production for

the group growing up learning to hunt

and learning to care for crops I'm very

certain I'll be an asset to This Crew or

either one of you are currently on

medications have prescription eyeglasses

or have any addictions we have no

addictions no problems like that but I

do have prescription glasses okay I'd

like to be a part of Ray's crew because

uh I'd like to take care of my family if

in the event something were to happen

Rey's next step is to test his new

recruits to see what they're made of but

when he puts them in action and under

stress there's no telling what they may

do

[Music]

Lindsay and Ray fear that following a

global agricultural collapse Supermarket

shelves will be bare in just three days

but it's what happens on day four that

they fear most once people start to

realize that the food is not going to be

restocked on the shelves Panic will

start happening people will do what they

have to do to feed themselves which will

be including looting breaking into

people's houses becoming violent to

protect themselves in the four years

worth of food they've secured at their

Bug out location in the mountains of

Idaho Lindsay and Ray are looking to

recruit new members for their prepper

security Force I got two new prospective

members that I want to test to see if

they're meet the standards that what it

takes to be a part of this group

raise admissions test includes three

parts the interview teamwork drill and

response to a threatening situation

he'll be judging each potential member's

speed tactical skills and ability to

take orders and work with the group if

they disappoint him in any of these

respects they're out

all right you guys we need to bug out

let's get everything loaded

come on we might be running out of time

I don't want anybody to see this

foreign

loaded before anybody catches on that

we're loading up

we got our clothes we've got the

medicines first aid kits tools we've got

excess plants and seeds and radios bug

out bags vitamins Nursery items sewing

supplies towels books guns ammo if

anybody hears anything that we haven't

got packed let me know

someone help me lift this let's get this

thing closed up

you two get in the flatbed Lindsay and

Allison let's load up in the wagon

get in

with their full supply of preps loaded

within 10 minutes the Team Heads one

hour away to Ray and Lindsay's Bug out

location deep in the Idaho mountains for

the third part of their admissions test

the new recruits will be on their own

and Ray's last challenge for them is one

they won't see coming he's instructing

them to secure the area but he's not

telling them that somewhere between the

truck and the compound he's hidden in

occupying Force

I need you two to go up to the top of

the camp and make sure it's secure for

us to occupy

two-person patrols often move back to

back so that they can scan a full 360

Degrees around themselves

when breaching a building surprise and

speed are essential soldiers are taught

to dominate The Room by quickly moving

to positions of control that allow for

Clear shots

it's behind your back

clear

we got him

raised impressed that the candidates

didn't let their guard down or hesitate

when they encountered a threat as they

breached the door the two new members

have passed the test

welcome to the camp and the group

we're 100 committed to protecting what

is ours

and survive any disaster that may come

our way so once again welcome all right

guys good to have you people are under

the illusion that we have so much food

all around us and we're in this

wonderful Modern Age and all I can say

is that you're wrong there is so much

fragility in our system and it could

collapse at any time these things are

just time bombs waiting to happen and it

will happen at the end of the day the

question might be

when the big trucks stop rolling

is how much food are you holding

Ray and Lindsay the experts at Practical

Preppers have reviewed your preps your

four-year supply of food will give you a

huge advantage in trying to survive a

crisis however 50 gallons of stored

water would only last your survival

group less than a week you should be

storing more water we don't need to

store much water because we have surface

water at our Bug out location and a well

out of Bug out location your security

plan is strong but you should also

consider constructing a safe room so

that you can keep your supplies secured

at both our Bug out location and our

home location we have areas that we

would consider to be our safe rooms to

determine how long you could initially

survive a catastrophe Practical Preppers

has scored your preps in five categories

of 20 points each for a total possible

score of 100 your renewable food sources

are excellent 19 out of 20 points water

12 out of 20 points shelter 16 out of 20

points security 16 out of 20 points

working towards survival as a group

gives you 15 X Factor points your total

score is 78 out of 100 you have 15

months initial survival time that's a

pretty good score but whoever has graded

us hasn't really seen the extent of our

preparedness and if they did they would

say that it is in fact quite a bit more

extensive than what can be shown on TV

due to severe drought across the Midwest

the USDA warned that food costs could

continue to rise between three and four

percent in 2013. experts however do not

anticipate a catastrophic food shortage

to occur

s a bug out vehicle is a crucial part of

their plan for facing doomsday but for

Jim D his bug out vehicle is the whole

plan he doesn't intend to run away from

doomsday he intends to run it over in

his custom-built bug out truck that he

calls the behemoth

Jim D is a security consultant and proud

father living in the Orange County area

of Southern California a motorcycle

Enthusiast Jim used to spend his free

time working on his Harley-Davidson but

lately he's been under the hood of

something bigger

something matter

something he's felt to survive doomsday

that he calls

all right

the behemoth

I'm preparing for the destruction of the

power grid from a terrorist attack and

the social unrest that will follow

every year cyber attacks on their

computer systems that run the country's

infrastructure get stronger more

aggressive and hit more often

a government official has even warned of

a cyber Pearl Harbor that could take

down the country's Financial networks

government services and even the power

grid

Jim fears that this type of attack could

plunge the U.S into a new Dark Age we've

become completely dependent on the power

grid as soon as the power goes out the

stop lights don't work and the gas pumps

don't pump and the cash registers aren't

on and the electric doors don't open the

ATMs don't give any money there's no

power there's no Refrigeration there's

no there's no pumps to pump the water in

there's no pumps to pump the septic out

when people get hungry or thirsty they

start to act erratic and start to do

things that are not normal and when

people become desperate they do it

becomes even worse

my strategy is to be very mobile we

built a all-wheel drive 13-ton truck

that has a camper with 300 gallons of

fuel 150 gallons of water solar power

gas generators battery Banks armored

Command Center you name it it's designed

for extended deployment of multiple

people where you could sustain a lot of

lives for a long period of time

gyms spent close to three hundred

thousand dollars striving to turn a 1980

Chevy truck into his ultimate bug out

vehicle the engine was designed to be

able to to withstand a solar flare EMP

any electrical event because there's

nothing on it to fail

half inch thick armor plating

flame retardant military grade spray

paint

28 feet long 11 feet high and eight feet

wide Jim's mobile prepper Powerhouse

lives up to its name the behemoth

with more than 4 million miles of Road

in the U.S and no plan to stay put for

long Jim views life after doomsday as a

marathon not a Sprint and he's taken

steps to ensure the Behemoth will never

run out of gas we can run it on gasoline

or propane we've got 150 gallons of

propane 150 gallons of gas it's got

enough fuel to leave from Southern

California and make it to Nova Scotia or

Costa Rica or anywhere you know in

between so we can keep it moving for a

long long period of time

even with only 500 cubic feet of living

space Jim believes he's built the

Behemoth large enough for it to serve as

a rolling safe house for all his family

and friends

the Survivor truck can take 15 people

without being over capacity there's

nothing more valuable than my family to

me and whatever it takes to keep them

safe is what I have to do as a husband

and as a father it is my responsibility

I have a small group of people that

we've decided to rely on one another and

we're going to meet up and we're all

going to go together for Jim the

behemoth's most important cargo will be

his daughter Michelle but for Michelle

the idea of one day having to live in a

truck has just been one of her dad's

wacky ideas

holy water that's big until today come

on let's go I want to show you the

inside look at the Betty that mommy did

isn't that amazing yeah drums my bed

this one's your bed right here honey

it's actually bigger than your bed in

the house that bed if there's for mommy

and I it's a refrigerator and a stove

and all sorts of stuff we can stay in

this for a long time

[Music]

to be more than just a battle wagon he

wants it to be a second home

but he believes cyber terrorist attacks

could turn the U.S into a nation of

panicked violent mobs desperate to take

from him his fortress on Wheels so he

spent more than sixty thousand dollars

installing seven high-definition

surveillance cameras

Chad helped us he put all the cameras in

there and we're gonna go into the

command center and he's going to show

you how they work all right okay what

does all this stuff do well what we've

done Michelle is we've put cameras all

the way around the truck we've got a

camera in the front camera's on the

sides and cameras in the back that look

close to a couple hundred feet out being

able to see anybody that's in close

proximity to the truck we can see a full

180 degrees so you know if somebody was

outside that door let's show off what

this can do let's send your dad as far

away as we possibly can and see if we

can figure out what he's doing hey Jim

are you out there

I'm here all right we're gonna see if we

can find you

that looks like him how many fingers am

I holding up

two

oh Jim's confident his cameras can spot

a Potential Threat two miles away he

believes that whether or not his family

survives that threat could depend on how

he responds so tomorrow he's going to

put the Behemoth security systems and

his own weapons training do the test

Jim D fears cyber terrorists could

disable the power grid curling the U.S

into chaos and turning Americans into

violent desperate mobs

so to ensure he can escape hostile areas

with his family and friends he's built

the Ultimate Survivor truck

the behemoth

[Music]

Orange County California has more than a

dozen major highways but Jim fears he

could face massive gridlock in the Panic

following catastrophic cyber terrorist

attacks so since he can't predict which

Escape Route he might need to take he

has multiple Bug Out locations spread

all across the Southwest we've been

looking around trying to figure out

where to go based on Escape Routes

through you know throughout Southern

California

for the last two years he's been burying

Supply caches at Secret locations

between 2 and 100 miles from his home we

have multiple cash systems distributed

all over the country they're easy to get

to depending on whether we have to go

north south or east you have to have

something that's pre-staged if you just

have to pick up and go today Jim's

showing his prepping partner Ashley who

helped him design and build the Behemoth

what goes into assembling his caches

PVC pipes lined with a special material

that Jim says eliminates magnetic

signatures to Shield them from metal

detectors

we're going to start with the heavy

stuff first flashlight

take the bare necessities the weapons

ammunition flashlight kind of stuff you

know just enough to get by some food

bars just see rations and some water a

radio medical stuff you know just basic

stuff actually let's put that Glock in

there too

clear clear

we are good

Jim's taking the Behemoth out to bury a

new cache of supplies

with a clearance of almost two feet the

Behemoth can go where standard pickups

can't so Jim's heading for a remote

location deep in the mountains

but before he buries his cash his first

goal is to make the Behemoth disappear

the truck has a fully Deployable

thermoregulated camo net system that you

literally put it out and it just turns

you into a mound and you don't create a

heat signature Jim's camo netting is

designed to dissipate heat so that

anything underneath it remains hidden

from thermal imaging cameras and even

heat-seeking missiles

were essentially invisible to the naked

eye to night vision and thermal imaging

by the time Jim deploys the camo it's

almost too dark to see but that's part

of his plan the reason that we do this

at night obviously because it's much

more difficult to see people at long

range in the dark during the day you can

with a spotting scope you can see well

over a thousand yards there could be

people anywhere watching what you do Jim

berries is three foot long caches

vertically to reduce their surface area

at ground level making them harder to

find you buried in the ground and you

mark it with a GPS and you walk it off

and you map it

basically you have enough supplies to

sustain yourself for probably 60 days

with a family of four to six people just

in one cache my spot philosophy has

always been better to have it and not

need it than need it not have it you

know I want to be ready

in the event of a power grid shutdown

and the chaos that follows Jim worries

that the Behemoth might become an

enticing Target for desperate Marauders

so he and Ashley have been training to

defend the Behemoth from attackers

but shooting while on the move from the

custom sniper platform he built on the

roof requires a completely different set

of skills that gyms never practiced

until today

you have to compensate for the up and

down movement the left and right

movement of the sway factor in the

movement of the vehicle the distance of

the Target and the speed of the bullet

it's a lot to think about in a very very

short amount of time the challenges of

shooting while on the Move significantly

affect Jim's accuracy instead of kill

shots this time he hits mostly desert

sand

it's not the motion and the you know the

movement it's the up and down from the

from the uneven ground

it's brutal Jim believes that with

practice he and the Behemoth will be

able to take on any rioters and looters

should cyber terrorists succeed in

destroying American society in order to

be healthy and happy that you have to be

able to provide for yourself it feels

good to have a plan it feels good to

know that your family is going to be

safe

I have the the mental capacity I have

the desire to survive and I have a

spiritual center I know that I'm going

to be okay no matter what

gym

Experts of Practical Preppers have

assessed your preps you have an

impressive bug out vehicle with

High-Tech Communications but you need a

food resupply plan and reliable access

to water we have over or almost two

years worth of freeze-dried food we can

supplement that with hunting fishing and

growing food everywhere we go there's a

water source within 10 miles we'll be

fine

to determine how long you could

initially survive a catastrophe

Practical Preppers has scored your preps

in five categories of 20 points each for

a total possible score of 100

food 12 out of 20 points water 13 out of

20 points shelter 12 out of 20 points

security 15 out of 20 points your

special bug out vehicle will allow you

easier access to a safe location 13x

factor points overall you get a 65 out

of 100 you have 10 months initial

survival time well

I disagree we're gonna make it no matter

what I'm gonna last forever

Department of Homeland Security

currently considers cyber terrorism to

be a top security challenge

however power companies are devoting

tremendous resources to stopping cyber

threats and the electric grid has backup

systems that will allow power to be

restored quickly if the grid comes under

Cyber attack

Amanda and Scott bobbin recently bought

their dream home

with 51 rooms and breathtaking views it

seemed too good to be true but their new

house came with something unexpected

something

otherworldly

oh she's back again they say a voice

from the grave is telling them to become

Preppers

or die

laughs

on a Mountaintop in Waynesville North

Carolina the top 30 acres of land Amanda

and Scott bobbin live in a 51 room 8 500

square foot house we named The Heist

Paragon Jewel

which means

perfect

Jewel

and we believe actually that it is

Paradise

thank you

but it is a very unique and unusual

Heist

the things in this house are strange to

us

not things that we're used to everything

that we could possibly want in the in

the future if something would happen is

here already it's a prepper's paradise

safe haven for people to come and join

us after a comet will

hit the planet

now she's back again

one year ago the bobbins didn't give

much thought to Doomsday theories in

fact they'd never even heard of prepping

they were living in Florida when they

say they were warned about the end of

the world by a voice from Beyond which

would come to be known as Greta Amanda

and I lived in Florida and she received

a message of vibration whatever you'd

like to call it we often get them when

we sleep it comes through my

mind the message that I received was

it's time to leave Florida and that it

was very important for us to live at

three thousand feet or above

they say Greta urged them to move 3 000

feet above sea level so they could

survive a comet colliding with the Earth

destroying life across the globe

we sold the heists

and went to the mountains the bobbins

hunt for a new home LED them to the

Smoky Mountains of North Carolina and

the Paragon Jewel Amanda walked into the

door about 15 feet she turned around and

said to me this is where we're going to

live

we are located 3 000 feet above sea

level here it should be one of the

safest places on the entire planet and

that's why we've been brought here they

bought the Paragon Jewel and discovered

their new home came with two 5 000

gallon water tanks solar panels and even

a ham radio tower but the deeper they

delved into Paragon Jewels hidden

recesses

the more bizarre their new home seemed

we find huge quantities of supplies so

toilet paper gas masks there are things

for dehydrating instructions to create

Gardens that attract game animals they

had enough clothing upstairs in the

attic to clothe the hundred people

Amanda believes her mysterious voice is

Paragon Jewel's former owner a woman

named Greta who had already been dead

for two years

the bobbins believe Greta assembled all

this in the Hope survivors of the Comet

could find Safe Haven with her high in

the Smoky Mountains and now they believe

she wants Amanda and Scott to continue

her work Amanda and I are very confident

that we were guided to this house for a

specific purpose we believe the house

chose us to deal with what Greta had

started here we believe that as we go

down the road here Greta will instruct

this on what to do next

and that has been in contact with her

through channeling

Amanda says Greta makes her wishes known

by taking control of Amanda's body to

write out her instructions but Amanda

never knows when Greta is going to take

over

chicken I'm sorry that's not me either I

don't have any control over this

Grado has come through me and sent a

message

I bought what she expects us to do and

what she expects along the program today

so I have just written her words not my

words her

it's called automatic writing

I put so much love and care into making

it a safe haven

for people to come to when it will be

necessary you must carry on my work open

your doors to people who need you she's

back again

she's saying that Scott and I have to

continue that work working with her

hands being able to help a lot of people

because the situation is coming Amanda's

Sons Johnny and Christopher often visit

their mother from Ireland

but this is their first visit since

Amanda and Scott became Preppers and

they haven't yet been told the whole

story about Greta comets or prepping

Chris want to have a whack here

a guy came in uh something to do with

the solar panels

it is quite an unusual place and they've

done a lot of work getting it getting it

in shape because uh it requires a lot of

upkeep

the boys also don't know that if a comet

blasts Humanity to the brink of

Extinction their mother and Scott

planned to open Paragon Jewels doors to

every Survivor who comes to them seeking

help

and some of the first people they expect

to take in are their neighbors Scott and

mendov told us a little bit about this

house and the background of it and

they've talked a little bit about some

of the preparations they want to do to

have it better prepared their neighbors

aren't Preppers but they know Scott and

Amanda are starting to prep so they're

bringing Scott a present to help them on

their way

oh my goodness

we got you a nice brand new 12 gauge

pump action shotgun it'll take anything

from Big Game to small game and also

help you defend your house you

definitely need one wow it's unloaded

right now good looks beautiful even

camouflage don't point it at my mom

with her son still unaware of their new

prepping lifestyle Amanda realizes that

the gift of a firearm is something that

will require an explanation I watched

the Christopher's reaction when the gun

was handed over he seems a little

distressed I'll go and talk to him she

believes the time has come to tell them

about the comet so that the boys can

begin helping them prepare so guys we

need to talk to you too about something

and everybody else can just enjoy

themselves

but nothing can prepare them for how

Christopher reacts

for the last two months Scott and Amanda

bobbin have been prepping for a comment

to strike the Earth

but Amanda hasn't told her son

Christopher their plan yet

we are going to reveal to Christopher

that we have become Preppers and

see what his reaction is

we've moved into this house and after we

got here we started finding all these

things in the house that were very

unusual supplies supplies we were guided

here

and to continue the work of Greta she

expected a comment to come in

and hit the earth so we have

um

become Preppers

scientists would be able to predict

something like that

it's not just going to come up under the

blue

can't see anything happening I don't

know I just it's just all the FED over

the top right

isn't it better to be

prepared well I can't see

any reason why people were just almost

dedicate their lives to try to avoid

something what do you think Johnny

well

I think that was a good idea for in case

the storm or something

don't really understand it to be honest

I just don't know why why anything would

happen I don't think anything will

happen I hope you're right I really hope

you're right

but it doesn't hurt just to be prepared

a little

this has been a shock to him that

hopefully he will get some experience

and have

um a different View today Scots received

a gift his first security prep he's

ready to begin practicing defensive

prepping and hopes both boys will follow

his lead so this is our basic pump

action shotgun

our 12 gauge since I've never had one of

these in my hand how do I aim this sure

you're aiming straight down and you

always know what you're aiming at some

Preppers prefer the 12 gauge pump action

shotgun in part because they believe

just the sound of a shell being

chambered

can be intimidating enough to stop an

intruder the safety is on safety is off

right now oh the safety is off right now

after I shook it is that how you're

saying that

do you want to practice just

pulling it back and forward a couple of

times and I push this down you tell us

when you're ready I mean this is for

real this is for Real

okay so make sure you know where you're

aiming

nice shot that was brilliant that was

absolutely fabulous how did you do that

I thought you haven't done this before

fourteen-year-old Johnny is as eager as

his parents to prep for chaos following

a comet strike I think prepping's a good

idea if something bad happens you'll

have to be worried about glow nights

but 16 year old Christopher is not as

enthusiastic

he does not believe that self-reliance

is that important Chris you're going to

shoot why don't you give it a shot come

on I it was easy I'm not really

interested really oxidants could be

caused these Firearms are lethal I don't

really get too involved because I just

can't see anything happening

Christopher is extremely intelligent and

likes to use his brain more than his

Brawn he's talented but a little

reluctant to do certain things

Christopher won't shoot but Amanda and

Scott still want him to take an active

role in their prepping put your gloves

on we don't know I don't think anybody's

been in here in 25 years so they're

drafting him and Johnny to help them

inventory the supplies Greta left behind

in Paragon Jewel's shed let Mom keep the

official count and we'll just kind of go

around the room and see what we've got

in here

what's in this one over here oh we've

got at least 10 oats Amanda we've got

weight over here there's three there's

three more weeks what do you got down

below there wait see what's back in here

uh let's wait

Gretel Left Behind what could be

hundreds of gallons of wheat grains a

staple that humans have depended on for

thousands of years each five gallon

bucket was nitrogen sealed to remove any

Oxygen so it's protected from insects

and bacteria and is a longer shelf life

but Christopher doesn't believe any of

it will be necessary I really don't see

the point does

I mean if a comet or a meteor hits the

Earth and we cannot stay in the house

don't you think the land and everything

is just going to be destroyed so I think

what makes this place safe I think it

depends on where it hits at if it hits

on the other side of the world I don't

think anything's gonna happen so

I think I'm gonna leave I'm out of here

Christopher I'm not crap

I understand he doesn't think that we

are rational at all so maybe the next

time you'll come in Christopher's 16.

it doesn't matter what advice he gets

he's 16 years old somewhere along the

way he'll realize how important this is

Christopher and Johnny will soon be

returning home to Ireland Amanda and

Scott hope that with time both boys will

come to accept the prepper lifestyle but

for now getting ready for a potential

combat impact poses its own set of

challenges Amanda and I have been only

prepping about two months that's it we

are brand new Preppers we know we have a

lot of learning and to learn how to use

a lot of the things that have already

been prepared here for us there are

family members who are very skeptical of

what's going on but we are very

comfortable and confident that we'll be

prepared when the time comes

Scott and Amanda the experts Practical

Preppers have reviewed your Preps

you live in a geographically safe

location and of a good amount of

supplies you've taken the right step in

creating a network by opening your doors

to your neighbors however you need to do

more to secure your property consider a

security system cameras and defense

training I would agree with everything

that you have said and reported

to determine how long you could

initially survive a catastrophe

Practical Preppers has scored your preps

in five categories of 20 points each for

a total possible score of 100 food 16

out of 20 points water 17 out of 20

points

shelter 19 out of 20 points security 5

out of 20 points your large house and

ability to take in others will give you

strength in numbers this gives you eight

X Factor points

your total survival score is 65 out of

100 you have 10 months initial survival

time I believe we need to seriously

increase the defense and security aspect

um that seems to be our weakest point

has improved our gun awareness so

security system and they're collecting

rain water in our pool it is no

coincidence that we have fined each

other and I find ourselves here at

paragoncho I really believe our

adventure is only just beginning

both NASA and the United Nations have

departments that identify and catalog

potentially threatening comets and

asteroids of the more than 9 500

near-earth objects NASA has discovered

so far none is currently considered

likely to collide with Earth in the next

100 years
