Valuetainment - Doomsday Prepping： From $1,000 Kits to Billionaire Bunkers

00:00:00.000 So what do you think about when you hear about prepper, like doomsday prepper, or survivalism,

00:00:04.980 right? What do you think about these people? Like, oh, these are some crazy people that are

00:00:07.640 thinking the end of the world is coming, and these are hardcore right-wing people, far right,

00:00:12.200 that are like the end of the world, and they're going to take over, and we got to prepare for it.

00:00:15.620 And then all of a sudden, people get news that Mark Zuckerberg is building a hundred million

00:00:20.620 dollar underground bunker. Is that a joke? No. And by the way, did you know the word of the year

00:00:25.520 for 2022 that they added to the dictionary? You ready? Here's what the word of the year was for

00:00:30.420 2022. Permacrisis. What's permacrisis? A word describing the feeling of living through a period

00:00:37.440 of civil war, inflation, and political instability has been chosen as Collins Dictionary's word of

00:00:44.280 the year. And what's crazy is when you look at the doomsday clock that they've been tracking

00:00:48.560 every year from 1947 to 2023, you want to know what's wild when you look at this chart? January 24,

00:00:54.800 2023, doomsday clock update. A time of unprecedented danger. It is 90 seconds to midnight,

00:01:02.700 which means a lot of people are worried that something crazy could happen. And that's a

00:01:06.040 year ago. A year ago, you know what wasn't going on? October 7th, what happened in Israel, Hamas, 0.58

00:01:10.460 Palestine, and then 2024, election chaotic craziness. People are saying, babe, I know we're,

00:01:15.760 we don't really care much about politics, but maybe we need to be a prepper and, you know,

00:01:19.940 what if something happens to us? In this episode, I'm going to show you different levels

00:01:23.640 of how you can prepare. I'm going to give you different kinds of cars people are buying to be

00:01:27.300 prepared and different kinds of bunkers people are buying to be prepared for doomsday.

00:01:33.120 Okay. So if you get value out of this video, give it a thumbs up and subscribe to the channel.

00:01:45.900 Here's what we're looking at based on some data from Finder. What are preppers buying and how much

00:01:50.900 are they spending? When it comes down to what they're buying at the top, it's food and water.

00:01:55.140 Then it's toilet paper, medical supplies, survival kits, stash of cash, home renovations, self-defense,

00:02:01.540 insurance, and a few other items. And then when it comes down to sexes, who is more likely to be a 0.97

00:02:06.720 prepper, a man or a woman? You probably guessed it right. It's men. One out of three men is a prepper,

00:02:13.300 but one out of four women are preppers. By the way, still women are one out of four are like, 1.00

00:02:18.020 listen, I'm going to prepare for God forbid something crazy happening to me. And what's crazy is if I

00:02:22.040 were to ask you right now and say, Hey, which generation do you think is most paranoid,

00:02:26.840 worried about what could happen to them? More boomers, millennials, Gen X, Gen Z, what would 0.98

00:02:31.680 you say? What if I told you out of all the different generations, when you look at this,

00:02:36.480 Gen Z are the ones most concerned about what could happen. And they're the ones prepping the most for 1.00

00:02:41.820 emergency. Look at this here, boomers all the way down at 18%. You got Gen X 20%, Gen Y 39%, Gen Z 40%. 0.93

00:02:51.120 So look, I've been in the financial industry since 9-11, the day before 9-11. And I've owned stocks,

00:02:55.600 bonds, mutual funds, real estate, crypto, gold, you name it, I've owned it. But the one thing that's

00:03:00.180 very important part of my portfolio all these years is gold. I love having a percentage of my

00:03:06.060 net worth in gold that I have access to in case of many different things. That's why we chose to

00:03:55.280 down by region, how the West is the most with preparedness, then the South. You can break this

00:04:00.100 down all the way you want, but there's different ways. You may be watching the same, Pat, how do I

00:04:02.940 prepare for something like this? There's different tiers to it. The range of preparedness, you can start off

00:04:06.740 as basic as $1,000, a couple different items you can buy. You can enroll in survival training courses

00:04:12.320 to learn about essential skills such as wilderness, survival, basic medical care, and navigation. Or

00:04:17.060 you can go $2,000 for buying a tent, a sleeping bag, portable water filtration system, and compact

00:04:22.300 cooking supplies. Investing maybe a communication tool like satellite phones and two-way radios to

00:04:27.000 stay connected during emergencies. Maybe it's a home preparedness, $5,000, installing a backup power

00:04:31.800 generator, solar panels, and a water storage system at home, reinforcement of doors and

00:04:36.460 windows for increased security against potential threats. Maybe you're going to go $50,000 to

00:04:40.300 $500,000. Remote retreat property. This is purchasing a remote property away from urban

00:04:45.520 centers to establish a secondary retreat. Construction of a sustainable off-grid cabin with its own water

00:04:50.600 source, solar power, and gardening facilities for long-term self-sufficiency. Then you have the

00:04:55.020 customized survival vehicle. This is modification of a vehicle for survival purposes, including reinforced

00:05:00.000 armor, off-road capabilities, advanced communication system, installation of a rooftop tent, extra fuel

00:05:05.340 storage, and other features for extended travel in case of evacuation. Then you have community

00:05:09.820 survival compound. This is a million bucks where you're building a collaboration with like-minded

00:05:14.240 individuals to establish a communal survival compound. And this has got a kitchen, medical

00:05:18.700 center, a bunch of different things. Then you got private doomsday bunkers, which I'll show you a

00:05:22.460 couple of them. And then you have the luxury doomsday retreat. If you're somebody that's in the level of,

00:05:27.960 man, I'm going to spend some money protecting myself and my family. Here's 15 best survival vehicles that

00:05:32.780 they're building. Number one, Mercedes-Benz G-Class, believe it or not, is the best when it comes down

00:05:38.920 to this, according to Armor Max, which is who's ranking these cars. Number two, a bulletproof

00:05:44.220 Ford Raptor truck, which is pretty sick to have. Number three, Jeep Wrangler, right, is one of the safest.

00:05:50.340 Four, look at this guy here, Knight XV, which is apparently 15 armored SUV. That thing looks pretty

00:05:56.720 insane, by the way, what it offers. I'm kind of turned on by it myself. You got a Tahoe, but this

00:06:02.520 is not just a regular Tahoe. Apparently some of these guys are going to be bulletproof. You have

00:06:05.920 the bulletproof Toyota Helux. You have Land Rover Defender, custom conversion of it. You have the

00:06:11.640 Toyota Tacoma, Chevrolet Colorado, Toyota FJ Cruiser. You got the Jeep Gladiator Rubicon. You got

00:06:18.340 Audi 8 Security. You got bulletproof Cadillac Escalade looks sick. You got bulletproof military

00:06:25.060 Humvees and bulletproof Bentley Continental. And by the way, if you drive a Tesla, Tesla has a

00:06:31.240 bioweapon defense mode. It's an additional model. You could have bought it between 2019-21. The upgrade

00:06:35.940 was $425, again, four doomsday type of situations. For some of you rich people, you rich folks that

00:06:42.700 can afford to build yourself a nice compound underground, let me be your realtor today on

00:06:49.120 this video and try to sell you. By the way, I don't do this. I'm just joking with you. Some of you guys

00:06:53.680 are going to call and say, Pat, I'd like to buy one from you. Let's take a look at some of these

00:06:57.160 crazy bunkers worldwide. You ready? Here's one. The Vivos Europa 1 luxury underground bunker house.

00:07:03.800 Just look at that picture right there. This is in Rothenstein, Germany, 76 acres above and below

00:07:09.240 ground, 34 living quarters, each 2,500 square feet, kitchen bedrooms, deluxe bathrooms, live and dining,

00:07:14.440 swimming pool, theater, gym and bar. So while the world's coming to an end above you, you're watching

00:07:18.840 a nice little movie and just kind of shaking a little bit while you're at a place like this in Germany.

00:07:22.540 By the way, this next one's pretty wild. This is a survival condo doomsday bunker in Kansas,

00:07:26.440 U.S. built from a missile silo, 15 floors with amenities like shooting range, rock climbing wall,

00:07:32.800 indoor pool, water park, library, theater bar, fitness center and a command center. It can withstand

00:07:37.840 a nuclear bomb, 100 times more powerful than the Nagasaki bomb. Look at the way this looks like,

00:07:44.380 by the way. This started by Larry Hall's survival condo facility built within a former Atlas F missile

00:07:50.600 silo, constructed by the Army Corps of Engineers, has more than 54,000 square feet of protected space,

00:07:57.000 designed to sustain 75 people for more than five years. This next one is in Las Vegas. It's called

00:08:02.600 the Las Vegas Underground Shelter Doomsday Bunker. Massive 14,620 square feet, 26 feet below ground,

00:08:09.740 shielded by the house above. Featured spa, pool, guest house, fountain, nightclub and a bar,

00:08:14.380 nightclub, five bedrooms, six luxurious bathrooms, entry points designed like rocks. Interior reflects

00:08:20.620 Cold War period. This next one's called the Aristocrat. Rising S Company features, accommodates

00:08:26.280 up to 50 people, hot sauna, swimming pool, gym, game room, theater, multi-vehicle garage, gun raid,

00:08:32.080 spacious dining and living rooms. This next one's called the Safe House. Luxury Underground Bunker

00:08:37.300 House. Kind of looks like the house from Purge. If you've seen the movie Purge. Above ground with glass

00:08:42.220 windows, allowing natural light, 6,100 square feet, swimming pool, outdoor theater, retracting bridge,

00:08:47.800 connecting terrace and pool. This next one is Vivos Indiana. Accommodates up to 80 people for about a

00:08:52.860 year. Common living and dining areas, garden space for vegetables, laundry, leisure, exercise and

00:08:57.780 storage. This next one is Vivos X Point. You can tell these Vivos guys specialize in this Doomsday

00:09:02.100 Bunker in South Dakota, U.S. Largest Doomsday Bunker community. 575 bunkers, each accommodating 10 to 24

00:09:08.160 people. Customizable with kitchen, dining, living, bedrooms and gym. This next one is the Greenbrier

00:09:13.220 Bunker. Doomsday. This is in West Virginia, U.S. Built to protect the U.S. Congress during Cold War.

00:09:19.120 Two meeting spaces, capacity for 435 and 100 seats. Designed to last 60 days. Decontamination showers

00:09:25.640 at entrances. That's very important. This next one's pretty sick. Global Seed Vault. This is in Svalbard,

00:09:32.040 Norway, protects plant species. In case of apocalypse, houses up to four and a half million

00:09:37.860 seed varieties and three cold storage units in the mountain for natural temperature cooling. And by the

00:09:43.500 way, I'll give you the last one. It's called Openem. There's a video. Matter of fact, you may be even

00:09:46.260 watching this while I'm talking over it. Doomsday Bunker. Size. It features a 6,750 square foot

00:09:53.220 apartment and ground level golf course, helipad, five-star underground bunker and various amenities,

00:09:59.680 spa, swimming pool, cinema, library, bar, hospital. And this is in Czech Republic, Europe. This is a

00:10:06.360 business model. They're building a full-blown underground facility for you to house your

00:10:10.940 cars, to be able to entertain yourself, to stay there, not have to worry about the nuclear attack

00:10:15.360 or anything that may be taking place. So if a company like Openem is doing something like this,

00:10:20.040 they're not doing it because only one person is interested or two people are interested or five

00:10:24.000 people are interested. They're doing it because there's a business model for this and many people

00:10:28.740 who can afford to do something like this are making phone calls to companies like this to say,

00:10:33.200 can you please build an underground bunker for us where it can be entertaining, luxurious,

00:10:39.720 protecting our car, protecting our assets, and at the same time, we can enjoy ourselves there,

00:10:44.160 feel safe with our family, friends, and people that we love. For some of you that are watching this,

00:10:48.120 you're saying to yourself, I didn't even think about this stuff. This is pretty crazy. Like,

00:10:50.940 people like that are really thinking about buying something like this? Yes. It's just like

00:10:53.880 owning a life insurance policy. You don't buy it because you're dying tomorrow. You buy it because

00:10:57.020 in case something happens, your family is protected. And many people who are all about

00:11:01.300 being prepared, there's a famous saying, proper preparation prevents poor performance. The more

00:11:05.820 prepared you are, the less you have to stress out. If you're married with kids and a family and you can

00:11:10.680 afford it at whatever level it is, you may want to consider preparing for God knows what could happen

00:11:15.220 in the future, especially with all the chaotic times that we're living in today. Having said that,

00:11:19.400 if you got value out of this video, give it a thumbs up and subscribe to the channel.

00:11:22.200 We also did a video on food shortage. If you've never seen this one before,

00:11:26.060 very interesting. Click here to watch that video. Take care, everybody. Bye-bye, bye-bye.
