All right, guys. Today we're going to
0:03
talk about the end of the world. This is
0:06
something that obviously everyone is
0:09
concerned about at some point or
0:12
another. It seems like every year there
0:15
is some sort of major event that gets
0:17
predicted to be the end of the world.
0:21
Whether it's an asteroid impact, some
0:23
sort of disaster, the end of the Moyan
0:26
calendar, whatever it is, there seems to
0:30
be people out there all the time saying
0:32
the world's going to end. So, let's talk
0:35
about it today. What would actually
0:39
cause the end of the world? And more
0:42
importantly, how would you survive it?
0:46
Now, if you watch this channel
0:48
regularly, then you know I'm a big fan
0:50
of preparedness. Being prepared for
0:53
whatever comes our way is important.
0:56
It's always good to have some extra food
0:59
in the house. It's always good to have
1:02
some water in the house, whatever it may
1:05
be. I am definitely not one of those
1:09
people who think that the end of the
1:11
world is coming tomorrow. In fact, I
1:15
think that the earth is going to
1:17
continue on for millions of years. But
1:20
the point here is that it is good to be
1:23
prepared. And that's kind of why I
1:25
wanted to do this video when we talk
1:28
about the end of the world. What exactly
1:31
does that mean? Are we talking about the
1:35
heat death of the universe?
1:38
Because if so, we've got a couple
1:41
billion years to go before that happens.
1:44
Or are we talking about something more
1:47
localized like the end of civilization,
1:50
the end of society, or even the end of
1:53
your life? That's what I want to focus
1:56
on first. You might say, "Hey, the world
2:00
has already ended." Look at what
2:04
happened with CO. It's true that CO was
2:06
pretty rough on everyone. We had
2:10
quarantines, lockdowns, shortages of
2:13
supplies, and things were pretty dicey
2:15
for a while there. But we made it
2:18
through that, and we're still here. The
2:21
world didn't end. It's still going on.
2:25
So, let us talk about a few different
2:27
ways the world could end and how you
2:29
would survive them. First, we have
2:33
natural disasters.
2:35
things like earthquakes, tsunamis,
2:38
volcanic eruptions, hurricanes, floods,
2:42
droughts, pandemics, things like that.
2:46
These are things that happen naturally
2:49
and they can be quite devastating. You
2:51
could lose everything in a hurricane or
2:54
an earthquake.
2:55
Your crops could fail during a drought.
2:59
A pandemic could wipe out a large
3:01
portion of the population. We've seen
3:05
examples of all of these throughout
3:07
history. Some of these events happen
3:10
every year and they can be devastating,
3:13
but they rarely cause the end of the
3:15
world. And when it comes to surviving
3:18
something like this, you're going to
3:20
want to be prepared. Hence the reason
3:23
you're watching this video. If you've
3:26
taken the time to learn how to grow your
3:28
own food, if you've taken the time to
3:31
stockpile some food and water, if you've
3:35
taken the time to get in shape so you
3:37
can hike out of town if need be, then
3:40
you're ahead of the game, the better off
3:43
you're going to be when something like
3:45
this happens. People who don't take the
3:48
time to prepare for emergencies are gone
3:51
now be in a bad spot when things start
3:54
to go south. Economic collapse is
3:57
another way the world could end for you.
4:01
It could come in the form of
4:03
hyperinflation where the money you have
4:05
today is virtually worthless tomorrow.
4:09
Think of Zimbabwe and what they went
4:11
through when their currency became
4:13
totally worthless. they ended up using
4:16
US dollars instead. It could be the loss
4:20
of your job and your ability to provide
4:23
for your family. It could be a housing
4:27
market crash. It could be your entire
4:30
country falling into depression and
4:33
chaos. Again, any of these things can
4:36
happen and some of them have happened in
4:39
the past. History is full of economic
4:42
crashes, but they rarely cause the end
4:45
of the world. Let's talk about a solar
4:48
flare. Solar flares have the potential
4:51
to knock out communications and
4:54
electrical grids around the world. The
4:57
effects of a super flare could last for
5:00
years. Crops could fail because farming
5:04
equipment wouldn't work. Food shortages
5:07
would ensue. Refrigerators would stop
5:10
working. Transportation would stop. But
5:14
again, the world would probably still
5:17
continue on. We would find a way to
5:19
adapt and overcome.
5:22
Sure, it would suck, but the world would
5:25
keep turning. What about an asteroid
5:28
impact? If an asteroid the size of Texas
5:32
were to strike the Earth, then yeah,
5:34
we'd probably all be screwed. But a
5:37
smaller asteroid could also cause a lot
5:40
of damage and knock us back a few
5:43
centuries.
5:44
But there are so many asteroids out
5:46
there that astronomers are finding them
5:49
all the time. Most of them aren't a
5:52
threat to the Earth, but if one were to
5:54
hit us, we'd probably be okay. NASA
5:58
keeps a close eye on all of these
6:00
things, and they have plans in place to
6:03
deal with any asteroid that gets too
6:05
close for comfort. Nuclear war is
6:09
another one that could potentially end
6:12
the world. But just like an asteroid
6:15
impact, there are organizations out
6:17
there dedicated to preventing this from
6:20
happening. Even if it did happen, most
6:24
of the radiation would only affect the
6:26
area directly around where the bombs
6:29
were dropped. There are bunkers and
6:32
fallout shelters all over the country.
6:35
If you have a basement in your house,
6:38
then you already have a fallout shelter.
6:42
But what if the world did end? What if
6:45
an asteroid the size of Texas did strike
6:48
the Earth and we were all doomed? Well,
6:51
in that case, I hope you've been paying
6:54
attention to this channel because I've
6:56
ve shared a lot of tips and tricks that
6:59
would help you survive the end of the
7:00
world. Let's say that the electricity
7:03
goes down and the grocery stores are
7:06
looted. If you know how to grow your own
7:09
food and you've been stockpiling seeds,
7:12
then you'll be able to feed yourself. If
7:15
you know how to hunt and fish, then
7:18
you'll be able to feed yourself.
7:20
If you know how to forage for wild
7:23
edibles, then you'll be able to feed
7:25
yourself. If you know how to protect
7:28
your homestead and defend your family,
7:31
then you'll be able to keep your family
7:34
safe. If the world did end, it would
7:37
absolutely suck. But there would still
7:41
be opportunities out there. There would
7:44
be challenges, sure, but there would be
7:47
opportunities as well. So if the world
7:51
did end, I hope you'd be prepared for
7:53
it. Now let us say you survived the end
7:57
of the world and you re of the few
7:59
people left alive. How would you
8:02
rebuild? That's a whole other video in
8:05
itself. But the point is that it is good
8:08
to be prepared
8:11
as much as you can be now because you
8:14
never know what's going to happen in the
8:16
future. You never know when something
8:19
catastrophic is going to happen. You
8:23
never know when a hurricane is gone, may
8:25
wipe out your town, or a solar flare is
8:28
gone, may knock out the power grid. You
8:31
never know when things are going to go
8:33
south. And it's always good to be
8:35
prepared. Let me tell you a story. When
8:39
I was a kid, my dad and I used to drive
8:42
down to the local feed store. He dee buy
8:46
a 50 lb bag of rice and then we d take
8:49
it inside and put it in our pantry. We
8:53
did this once a month and over the
8:55
course of a year we had amassed a small
8:58
fortune in rice. My mom got pissed and
9:02
said, "Why are you buying so much rice?
9:05
We're never going to eat all that rice."
9:09
And my dad said, "Just in case something
9:12
happens, I want to make sure we have
9:15
plenty of food to eat." Mom got pissed
9:18
and said, "Nothing's ever going to
9:20
happen. You're just wasting your money."
9:25
Well, lo and behold, not even a year
9:28
later, the flooding in Louisiana wiped
9:31
out all the rice in the stores. We
9:34
didn't buy any rice during that time
9:37
because we had plenty at home. And my
9:40
mom was very grateful that my dad had
9:43
taken the time to prepare. She realized
9:47
that by preparing, he had saved us
9:49
during a time of crisis. This is why
9:51
it's good to be prepared. You never know
9:55
when you're going to need your preps.
9:58
So, take the time to learn how to grow
10:00
your own food, to learn how to hunt and
10:03
fish, to learn how to defend yourself
10:06
and your family. Learn how to live off
10:08
the land. Learn how to build a shelter.
10:11
Learn how to purify water. Learn how to
10:14
do all these things because you never
10:16
know when you're going to need them. The
10:19
bottom line is that yes, the world could
10:22
end tomorrow, but it also could end in
10:25
100 years or 1,000 years.
10:28
The point is that you should be prepared
10:31
as best as you can be. Be prepared not
10:35
only for a large scale disaster, but for
10:37
smaller things as well. You never know
10:41
when you're going to need what you have
10:43
prepared. All right, guys. Thanks for
