Now think about what they can do with proper equipment and training.

A 12 year old with a ruger 10-22 takes you out 2 weeks in

I do wonder if they are getting money to compensate for showing off all their food supplies, defenses shown, a guide to what weapons they use and their house....

@@whitedragoness23 I'm sure they do

unless he lives near the greater Cleveland-Akron area hes not going to get attacked by me in a post collapse scenario. where is he Oregon Alaska or Tennessee or something ?

do you know where he is?

+Joseph Lim Ah yes - the black sheep.

+Joseph Lim In real life Ryan was bummed the producers wouldn't let him show his throwing skills. He's more accurate than Dakota.

+Michael Douglas why would the producers not allow him to show his skills?

They had a story in mind before we even started the three day shoot. They thought it would be more dramatic to portray the dad (me) as a hard charging fear driven "prepare" and the middle son as reluctant, bored, and/or resentful. Hey, free quizno's sandwiches and a chance to get word of the school out there. At the time we didn't realize they were going to edit out the community and school aspect.

Michael Douglas yeah I'd suggest getting your hands on some guns, I totally understand not relying on them but having a weapon and literally only using it with the presence of an attacker with a gun of there own, a throwing axe can out duel someone with a gun but having the real deal on deck is probably a good idea. People will be able to make there own ammo, and homemade projectiles as well so having a surplus of ammo and a firearm or two would be very very intelligent.

Lmao

Harsh Hemani thats what i said the final words got me

Gotta' protect that beet farm from invaders!

you bring great honor to the scranton branch 🙏🏽

LMAO

ghostchilli that’s legit cool. I’ve noticed they stop when I get close.

ghostchilli it works... Not well enough we lost but still

oof xd

ghostchilli That makes so much sense but I would of never thought of that

the roman army used geese to guard their camps.

I think even a small cal. pistol or hunting rifle would be enough

those are actually hand axe the slip socket cylax mostly came from Nordic countries , a tomahawk is a rock tied to the side of a sticks and American Indians didn't have iron

+Luca Fuoco Birds do alarm at night. As do squirrels, amphibians, and nocturnal mammals. They lives depend on it. Bobcat, Grey Fox, and Coyote hunt at night and I know where each is and their patterns based on the time of night and the season. It is available to anyone willing to invest the time outdoors. Come to our school. Awareness class will have you being able to do the same thing in your own backyard.

I was thinking the same thing, what if someone comes in the night? Birds aren't usually active at night unless your an owl..

Luca Fuoco fr, what a goof

Micheal, where is your school?

Luca Fuoco yes they will

I'm basing it on impact results. Debarking a tree, dismembering a point area target with the same effect up to and including a red fox and/or a raccoon, or felling a target immediately. Comparable stopping power and range as my Benelli 12g? No. Berries Native to this area used in smoking mixtures for medicinal or recreational purposes. I hope this helps.

Maine Primitive What 12g ammo? Beanbags? If your 12 gauge only debarks a tree, then there's some problems with that ammo. 9 pellet 00 buck has about 1550 ft lbs of energy, and you're telling me that a stick can do the same thing?

Plus god

Robbie Rotten you right but your shotgun is limited to the amount of shells you can carry or have. He has endless supplies of sticks. Your shotgun would be useless in a few days or hours of using it.

Definitely not a 12 gauge, but if he throws it hard enough it can be as powerful as a 22lr.

Lot twist that PTSD helped them to survive the great toilet paper shortage and social upheaval of 2020

Kyle Desjardins yes believe it

Yeah, throwing a shotgun really wouldn’t be more effective. Plus getting lots of shotguns to throw could be expensive, where sticks are everywhere

Kyle Desjardins this why people get shot by policemen all the time because a stick . A stick is as powerful as shotgun lol

If there is a grenade attached to one end. He left that part out.

+James Wong Exactly. We attempted to share skills via this medium that would inspire folks toward self reliance and resilient community bit were met at every turn with comments like, "our audience doesn't want . . ." What we did get on film was left on the editing floor. The finished product is the result of a three day "contest" of stories. Ultimately, the producer and editor have the final say.

Hahahahaha

Hi

That was some Adult Swim material there. My God.

Meme Template

Notice the orange block on the end of the barrel. It is a training tool . Pay attention to details. Always be aware of your surroundings.

+John Latch Thanks John. Glad that someone its it. Now add to that the modern tools and you have infinite options and opportunities. Hope you can make it out to our school one day.

You know except taking their life because they can't throw a stick or tomahawk as far as a rifle can shoot or as many times.

I have spent months studying survival and discovered a great resource at Micaden Survive System (check it out on google)

Brain tanned buckskin. It took three deer to make.

cause he is amoron

halburd1, I'm not sure that I am a moron. The show, while misleading, continues to bring students to our school from all over the world. I've raised a family of five, got them through college and am out of debt through sharing woods skills for the last thirty five years. If that is being a moron than perhaps you are right.

Primitive Skills dude, you're Awsome

Lol

+Cristobal Maldonado Thank you. I often say, while the survival school will never make us rich, we are one of the wealthiest families I know due to the amount of quality time we send together doing meaningful work together outdoors. I only wish NatGeo did a better job portraying the community aspect of what we do.

An ex-Marine Sharp Shooter living off grid because I love the Wilderness and Basic living; My Security= 30.06, AR-15, 308, M-16, 2 shotguns, 3 handguns, my bow & arrows; my tiny house and I'm NOT a Paranoid Nutjob whos watched wayyy too much Discovery Channel and othe Money-making Conspiracy Shows! If it happens I'll be ready But that's a long ways. We'll all be dead and gone! Relax and Enjoy Life!

Stupid? The show, while misleading, continues to bring students to our school from all over the world. I've raised a family of five, got them through college and am out of debt through sharing woods skills for the last thirty five years. If that is being "stupid" than perhaps you are right.

There are a lot of components to survival. One plan I found that succeeds in merging these is the Micaden Survive System (google it if you're interested) definately the most useful survival resource i've heard of. look at the incredible free video.

Cristobal Maldonado not me im nit like you im nit really like this guy but sorta am survival yes throwing weapons at people know ill shoot them and i wear normal clothes but no yiu city folks will go first

i think they where made by cold steel.

We don't live in fear. We have a blast and our interactions with our landscape and community give us more than "survival" level experiences. Each child has grown to be healthy and happy doing what they love and living well within their means. Our dogs were not featured and it is never a good idea to share what arms you may or may not posses. I hope you can come to the school one day and see how far off the producers were in portraying what we share.

Interesting, with which weapons platform are you referring to sir? I prefer a .308 Winchester on an armalite platform for punching through brush, but indoors nothing beats a shotgun and knife. Small arms are great back ups and a .45 in 1911is nice, however there are a few models that have a tactile method of detecting a round in the chamber and are easier on the move, specifically with injury drills and rapid clearing. Again, bring your best toys to the party. We would love to show you the difference between reality tv stories and reality, or, better yet, youtube chairborne rangers and actual dirt time. Next.

Primitive Skills ak platform is much better for a doomsday scenario. 1911 that holds 8 rds is idiotic, a nice full sized pistol that holds 17 is much better.

I know im late... but this is what they love & you NEVER know when those skills are useful, you're going to be defenseless one day and you'll regret not learning those skills.

Primitive Skills I like shotguns

Lmao active stick

I think it's also a very good way to spend some quality time with his children.

DogEaredTicketStubs I agree.

Same

It's interesting, but it's just delusional to think that some sort of nuke would go off in America or some apocalyptic senario would start without warning, and even if somehow that event played out, I sierously doubt they would survive. The world isn't the walking dead, and these kinda people need to get that through there head.

No... their crazy. (-_-)

Omg it's actually you fellas. Honestly if someone can toss a piece of wood perfectly at me. I am moving on I'll try to rob someone else.

Yeah also for small game hunting you need accuracy

That's not going to help if you can't hit the side of a barn with it & like it was stated before, you'll run out of bullets while there's plenty of sticks to throw

Shotguns are better just ask the Mafia Cartell. But yes slingshot and axes are deadly

@@gr3ygh05t9 someone with a gun thats trained would kill someone trained with a stick before they would even be able to lift it. there might be more sticks but guns are much more efficient and quicker.

Yes, it was in the dawn of the musket era when armies discovered that throwing sticks were just better for combat. It was for this reason that firearms were abandoned as a technological dead end.

Clorox Bleach lol

The last sentence sounds like Dwight

Brenden Inmon I thought that too! The sarcastic "Yeah"

***** hes acting like hes rambo like hes not gonna die in the "post-apocalyptic world" but look physiclly hes over weight same with his daughter, his youngest son doesnt want to do the training so that leaves only the eldest son to really be the pillar supporting them and he doesnt take into account that enemies might have snipers or gas that they can use he thinks that he can get like 10 meters in front of his enemy to kill them while guns can go up to thousands of meters

He certainly have the makings of a dramatic queen faint that's for sure.

KLSWAGGYSAMB your little speech you just said has nothing to do with the actual conversation what you just said is so irrelevant.

Gobaly Goo Hasdg lol rofl same to you then

Herbert the Hippy gj man you don't even know me and you already think i'm fat and where the hell did you get the fedora from and i barely watch anime nowadays, i just happen to like this certain one that's why its my pic and i also know how to survive when the SHTF but here's the thing, i don't depend on "knowledge" to help me survive, i actually look after my physical health unlike him and possibly you, i also do not own guns since they are pretty useless once you run out of bullets, and i've been to training camps similar to the military, i know how keep quiet and do all the stuff he can basically do, so before you go and accuse people of things why don't you get some real information before posting comments about other people that are not true and making yourself look like a fucking idiot?

I don’t think birds can tell you if the coronavirus is coming near you

the throwing sticks

Welp he's making money off it. And his daughter looks like she is having fun.

Logan Shotwell fair enough

He needed a friend to tell him he was overthinking things about 20 years ago, seems likely he is too far gone now to return to a sane perspective. Sure, under all the delusion there is a capable mind, but TRULY misguided.

Real ancient ninjitsu dual-wielding tomahawk martial arts might actually stand a chance against an armed individual. This guy just teaches his son some stupid dance moves.

It's never to late

his school is called the maine primitive skills schools. I think the website is primitiveskills.com

I'm prepping for when America gets taken over by a swarm of highly intelligent mutated lama's with strong communist ties and tendencies.

Then tell me how to survive if shit is going to hit the fan?

What aspect? Perhaps I can clarify what we are really about as opposed to the perception portrayed.

You kid, but this guy would for sure win against you and your vidya games every time. And then he'd make a sun hat outta your cheeks.

They literally grow on trees. Dude. Really?

Get more sticks?

Run!

Shout like an Indian

John doe u have hands, eyes, legs, what are human make for?

Cody Nichols you can dude, you can do what you please

Cody Nichols what?a discovery channel fakeumentary?

Cody Nichols go on then natural selection will be with you shortly

It’s all the writers, dude doesn’t actually think like this. He’s basically just a survivalist and has been on a couple podcasts. You gotta realize on a show called ‘Doomsday Preppers’ you need some pretty ‘exciting’ narrative.

I own a bow, im gonna make it into a crossbow.

I mean if its out in the open, its a arms game and lady luck you playing with

And what happens if you can't get a gun or you run out of ammunition? What then?

you use a knife or anthing

Actually it is ^^

Actually, they are being smart. They aren't relying on finite resources like weapons that constantly need ammunition. Or electronic that will need a power sourse.

@Kimmy Sunshine Well a renewable power source would be easy to make with treadmill even... XD

BeastModeBrown yes he love mustard color

The way he said the last lines in the clip is something only Dwight can pull off. This is nuts

john smith very dwighttt

Lmao

Thanks Brody. We have been putting out instructional videos long before we made it to Doomsday Preppers.

Thank you! We have a podcast if you want more. soundcloud.com/user-911431864/the-earthwise-podcast-introduction

Have you hunted with both? I have. With regard to knock down power and effective range in wooded areas, yes.
