Sometimes it's really entertaining to watch movies that tells something about the end of world, regardless how it happened.
One time I was watching YT movies about how to survive 2012 but I didn't take it seriously.Until those videos were taken down, only to find out that it was fraud. But that didn't really end there, because there's just too many end of the world nuts people out there. Most specially the ones who have the BIBLE with them 
But what's crazy are these people who prepares not only themselves but also their families for survival. Before that I've watch people who has underground shelters, bunkers or the ones who made them,.
Not sure this is stage, but this is crazy. Sad that they don't get the proper education a normal kid should have, but still those people got a point teaching them how to survive. Maybe it's their great grand kids that might need this kind of training someday.
Well, what do you think?

I used to think they were a little crazy.
I don't anymore.

Those parents might not experience the scenario they fear for the children, but maybe when the children gets older. the comments were just ridiculous @Mike197602 i mean they may end up having the last laugh.

@Letranknight2015 preppers often have supplies of food and water.
They have bug out plans and in some countries they have legally held weapons.
Lets say someting bad happens in an area, just something small such as a long power outage or a water plant breaking.
Those preppers would have the necessary supplies to live...others may not.
If some really big event happened they'd be prepared and more likely to survive than others.

I don't think there's anything crazy about being prepared for whatever may happen. The end of the world probably (just my opinion) won't happen overnight, but a breaking down of society, electrical outages becoming more common, contaminated water supplies and so on, should make one want to be ready for whatever happens.
As to the ones who use the Bible, maybe there's something to that? The things that are beginning to happen right now were prophesied many, many years ago.

@Letranknight2015 We don't have to succumb to fear if we trust that God will see us through, although, being human, we tend to be fearful even when we have no need to be!

Hello @peavey those with the bible are doing their best to warn people even though they're being ridiculed. yeah, some of them already happened, but I don't like the idea of succumbing to fear. but i do believe it will affect me if there's a water contamination, because water is vital to me as i drink it everyday

I love watching 'Doomsday Preppers' in National Geographic Channel back in the day. I think it helps that we are at least educated about how to survive in crisis scenarios. I just don't want to overdo it though.

@Letranknight2015 I'd like to learn how to hunt for my own food or look for water in a forest/desert. Those skills, I'd like to learn. With how the world gets crazier each day, it is better to be prepared for doomsday scenarios like those that they are showing rather than be caught like a deer in headlights.

I also thought and still do think they are a bit nuts. I also think many have a point with the way overall humanity is acting. Nothing to do with the bible, except how crazy it makes people. How literal they take the bible.

@Letranknight2015 I 100 percent agree my friend and wish they would teach more things like this. As I said in another post. We are a pretty much all or nothing society.

Hello @crossbones27 nothing wrong with teaching how to survive though, it's been proven that people dependent on too much technology cannot survive the outside world.

If I have the budget I actually wanted to make an underground city where people can hide in case a war will happen. It is impossible in our country though because our nation is earthquake prone.

@Letranknight2015 Nasa is already building a floating city but not for earth. They were building it for Venus. Floating cities will work for Venusian atmosphere.

Yeah, @CaptAlbertWhisker I wish some one can make a floating city i think we would still be safe inthe skies specially if it's cloaked.

well, they are sure doing a good job to their kids out there @Sun7788 I mean they got a large land enough to make a huge bunker under it. I never believed the world will end, but ours will if we continue to consume that never ends.

@Letranknight2015 You're right, instead of unfounded fears, we should do something positive to explore the sustainable development, to build a green eco-city that need efforts from all walks of life.

Yep, I find those movies entertaining too! Who knows what will really happen "in the end". I can understand about being prepared in case of an emergency - for us we live on earthquake land - but we don't live the "survival" lifestyle. I know a dad who is all into "what the government doesn't tell you" stuff . . . he's teaching his kids a lot of these survival skills for "when the time comes". Though it's good to have survival skills, the sad part is this dad throws in his opinions about what's "really" happening behind the scenes - so the kids have this warped sense of society. They are extremely "dark" for kids their ages - and it's as if they think they are living a secret life - they think it's cool to be criminals (like their dad once was - but that's another story).

I believe that when the world ends, no one will survive. Just my thoughts.

Well, that depends how @Macarrosel but they are sure good at preparing themselves.
