@@Dogolog22921 Oh and yes, that is a fair point, those things can be quite loud, quite startling. HOWEVER, my sympathies are some what tempered when this dude runs surprise "your family is being kept hostage" drills on his kids, monthly bug out drills, and the dude sweeps his house when he comes back from a trip to make sure no one's squatting (a situation where in he's holding and ready to fire a fucking revolver INSIDE) and holds people hostage at the gates of "the Alamo", and then the guy, this Bad-Ass TM, cant handle a sudden gun shot near his face WITH WARNING. All that tells me is, you know, the police can subdue him pretty quickly and easily with a flashbang, you know, a standard piece of law enforcement kit.
B**** started crying and threw up because his ears were ringing. Then blames the other guy for shooting inside the blind even though he was guiding him and had just done the same thing. What a loser. I guess we all know who's "Alamo" we are taking after the dirty bomb, This fat f*** is going to Sh** himself the first time he sees a knife.
@@CuteFuzzyWeasel I was more sarcastically joking about him crying afterwards stating: "you shot inside the blind, dude..." But you're still correct on everything.
I love how the EMT subtly roasts him by saying "his vitals were a little bit elevated from the adrenaline, the shock, the fear" to point out how badly he reacted from the sound of a shot that he was actually anticipating.
I think the reason why he wanted the narrator to say "enough bullets to shoot every person in the county 12 times " because everyone in the county makes fun of him.
His finger wasn’t on the trigger, and there was no magazine. Tell me you don’t know shit about weapons with out saying you don’t know shit about weapons
@@blkstrrecords kinda funny that you don’t know the first thing of gun safety though. Never point it at someone, unless you’re gonna kill. How’d ya get so stupid, bud?
@@InsomniacXIII Steve will actually offer them up and volunteer as tribute for Tom to kill so there's no need to forcefully take anything...well, except the wife and daughter didn't seem like willing participants in any of thos.
Tom is actually prepping for me. If the SHTF, I'll just go and take over his Alamo and preps and if he complains, I'll just turn up the volume on the TV, till he passes out from the pain.
3 years late, but the ear pain was definitely Tom's own fault. Since his ear protection is connected when he pressed on his left side alone, which you can see him do right before the shot is fired, it created a small gap on the right side leaving that ear unprotected. That's why he's holding his right ear even though the shot was fired by his left side.
Yeah agreed. If I were Steve I'd be like "I told you I was firing and you have your protection on. If you can't handle a weapon being fired in close proximity, I don't trust you to handle yourself when a group of 15 raiders are throwing frag grenades and flash bangs through your fucking kitchen window"
He should have had enough common sense to know he's in a enclosed structure the shot is going to echo in there quite a bit I don't see either of these knuckle heads making it once they are discovered were they are and the guy being that much of a Pussy over just hearing a gun shot go off he's definitely not going to make it he's practically crying and even threw up for Pete Sakes!
Nearly everyone inside the Alamo Mission died in less than two weeks due to superior numbers of attackers overwhelming the couple hundreds inside. Naming your doomsday bunker “The Alamo” is like calling your fishing boat “The Titanic”
@@vladorkiba1718 No one said it wasn't interesting but its a story of failure (at least from the American perspective) so naming your bunker after it is basically inviting disaster
I could get behind some of this prepped stuff but these people go so far beyond the deep end on this shit. Like yes I agree, Knowing how to use a gun is a skill that should be learned, stockpiling 46,000 rounds of ammunition, or forcing your daughter to go shooting having a ranch compound and running like Hostage drills with the cops is a little much. Take a wilderness survival course instead maybe see if you can do some combat training with the police maybe local national guard or something, I'm sure there's legitimate avenues to do so when you've got the money for apocalypse fortresses and 46000 rounds of ammunition, have a few weapons, stockpile emergency food and medical supplies, have some good camping gear and maintain a rugged vehicle you can leave the road with, that should be fine. You're already fucked if it's a dirty bomb anyway so no need to really worry about that
omg the best moment is when he started crying and throwing up because steve fired a gun too loud. like you are prepping for all these gun battles and a lil loud noise makes you all woozy?

I think the funniest episode is the guy who is training his family with firearms, but shoots his freaking thumb off, because he put it in front the rifle barrel. And proceeds to pass out. The second funniest ep. is the firefighter who plans to bug out from New York City without ANY guns, using only knives and Krav Maga (aka bullshido). 🤣😂
Lol I remember the firefighter from NYC was a very weird episode after yknow 911 and I aint even american lol. Even as a 10 year old I though it was really stupid.
@@CodyCockyote7046 definitely was weird LOL. A person couldn't get through Manhattan's criminal world on a "normal" day with just knives and Krav Maga. How they work during a doomsday scenario is baffling.
@@justacontrarian He would do these simulations where he walked around NYC with an actual functioning oxigen tank and I though "shouldnt he be saving those for the apocalypse?"lmao. IMO the guy being from NY looked like he prolly was traumatized by the WTC attacks actually pretty fucked...
The fact he didn’t tell his family this was “training” very well could have lead to one of these cops or family members getting shot. All it would have taken was one of the older kids remembering to check it was loaded and grabbing some rounds for this to possibly end in tragedy
It would’ve most likely been one of the cops getting shot since the cops knew so yeah it could’ve ended very badly but I’m pretty sure he did tell them that was just for the show or some shit
These are exactly the type of people in fallout that you find sprawled out and gutted on a pitchfork, on the porch of their bomb shelter before you go in there and ransack the place for ammo, armor, and weird notes.
After watching that I kinda feel like if it ever comes to the two families holing up there together, it'll turn out Steve's been scheming the entire time to take the Alamo from Tom, especially after seeing how he reacts to a single gunshot. So Steve will kill Tom and declare himself in charge and then, in the ultimate twist, Victoria will shoot her dad and free herself and her mother from the lunacy. They'll just walk off into the sunset together.
And as they return to civilization they discover the event that made Tom violently isolate his family was just like a gas station exploding and there was no threat of terrorism.
It's part of the "reasonable intent" of Stand Your Ground laws. If you ask for someone to announce themselves, amd they don't, it would stand in a court of law that you reasonably thought that person was there to do you harm.
@@DarkSithBarbie We dont have that in my state. As long as they're not actively turned around and fleeing from me, anywhere I'm at; I'm supposed to be and THAT is my castle. GA for the win!
I was on this show as a kid actually because my dad was featured in season 1 episode 10: disaster doesn't wait The some odd years earlier my dad had built an underground bunker in the garage with the help of my older brothers. The bunker was for security and storage and that was basically about it, but when the showrunners found us, the fabricated the entire story of it being specifically made for an EMP apocalypse, and had us do a "drill" for the show. Over the course of the show UCS looking at a map playing our route to our boat on the coastline, then proceeding to spend the night in the bunker, leaving the next night, traveling stealthily on foot through the wilderness using my father's military training and experience, making it to the Coast to our boat and driving off before our segment ends The bunker was just there for security, the map we were looking at wasn't even our state because we didn't want our location possibly revealed, the nearest coastline is 2 hours away by drive (hiking it would take days or even weeks) and we didn't own a boat, it was rented by the doomsday crew. My dad's "military training" stealth as he was a boat mechanic in the Coast guard. The recording happened during third grade and release when I was in 4th, so much of it is fabricated that when we occasionally watch the show we treat it as a comedy
In that episode I think your dad is saying something about islands in Puget Sound. So much for concealment. Didn't your dad also run for public office in Covington? When I was younger I was mostly focusing on your dads gf haha.
They’re violating two of the most important rules in gun safety: treat every firearm as if it is loaded, and only point at what you intend to destroy. The way that they are pointing real firearms at each other in the Grandpas here “exercise” is alarmingly irresponsible. Accident waiting to happen.
The military does it all the time with blanks and barrel covers, it’s safe under the right hands. I do concur with you though. Treat, never, keep, keep. Real gun enthusiast know what that means
@@blkstrrecords that’s true. We used blanks and covers a lot while I was in, and I doubt the cover would stop a live round. But it was different, with many precautions, and the military is inherently dangerous. And these guys aren’t military. Like you said: treat, never, keep, keep. Especially when kids are involved.
Yeah absolutely would not want guns pointed at my children by anyone for any drill. Especially kt even with the police involved, there's just a lot wrong with that. I'd rather drill with paintball guns or something...
Taurus judge, grip laser, head lamp, flash light, "is anyone in here!", Just casually bumps doors open strolling through. Oh yeah, this guy is good. Im sold.
Steve: warns Tom he’s about to fire Tom: no ear pro Steve: 3…2…1…fire in the hole Tom: still no ear pro Steve: *bang* Tom: *STILL NO EAR PRO*damn Steve I can’t believe you’ve done this, you messed up
Somehow, when my mind goes to "fortified location I can defend easily," my mind doesn't really jump to "The Alamo". Seeing primarily as it was a decrepit Spanish mission whose defenders kept it for about two weeks before they all died horribly. I mean, Fort Knox, Pavlov's House, Fort Douaumont...Anything'd be better, really.
OMG! I was in a house that got swatted by mistake as an adult. That was so traumatic. With them yelling and pointing guns at me, it was so hard to just walk to them. I stopped at one point and slowly backed away. My friend was behind me and had to push me forward. I also had to talk myself outta running bc I tried to find an escape route. In fact, that horrible incident is why I now don’t assume someone is guilty when they run.
Your situation was probably way more intense than the little thing they did on the show though cause the police in this video aren't nearly as loud and aggressive as the would be in a real life and death situation
One of the most interesting things on this episode is how Tom despite spending 2 million dollars on the Alamo clears his house with a .410 revolver and flashlight in the other hand. Like he could have a sweet Glock, FN, Sig Sauer, or HK rig but no. Then proceeds to have a breakdown later as what looks like the Sig rifle his friend was shooting was too loud even with ear pro.
Victoria holding her dad back when he went to hug her says a lot. Not saying he definitely abuses her, but she definitely does not feel comfortable with him touching her.
I think there was some whole other shit going on there. The mom and the daughter both had accents, but the dad didn't, so I wonder if he is like a stepdad. Still, I noticed the same thing, she practically pushed him off of her.
I agree. I'm surprised Child Protective Services hadn't been out there, as what Tom does is really child emotional abuse. Steve fircing his daughter to shoot guns that she hates, is also child abuse. A good parent NEVER forces a child to give up on their strong beliefs. At her age, she is coming into her own morals and values as a human being, getting her own "voice" and her father doesn't allow that? Wow. Both of the wives should divorce those fools, as they are doing nothing in protecting their children from a father's obsession....they are responsible for the abuse by being complacent. Sad.
@@beadiestpumar3230 being pro gun, I’ve gotta say forcing your kid to do that is kinda wrong. If someone has gun anxiety it creates an unsafe environment for shooting
@@beadiestpumar3230 lmfao "forcing a child to shoot guns is not child abuse" are you kidding me? It's a weapon that can take lives? No one should be forced ever to do something that scares them or makes them uncomfortable. I'm an adult and guns have always made me extremely uncomfortable. I hate loud noises, it triggers my fight or flight response and it causes me to have panic attacks. I couldn't imagine being forced to shoot them as a kid! People like you need to be sterilized if you really think it's ok to force a child to shoot a gun. They are kids, not soldiers and you shouldn't be training them as such. Let them be kids. If the kid expresses interest in shooting that's fine but forcing them is absolutely abusive and it really shows your intelligence level for you to genuinely believe it isn't
my favorite episode of this show was when the guy took his family and "bugged out" to the desert. he then shot his finger off while engaged in target practice
@@thisistheend_777 To put it simply, they're shit. It's a gun for people who do not know any better. You think that thing is gonna have ANY muzzle velocity with that tiny barrel? Or accuracy? And the recoil would be so stupid. Just YT it. They're shit. Talk your buddy into selling it, and getting a tool that will actually come in handy when his life is on the line, cause a Taurus Judge is a huge joke to anyone who knows better. Everyone needs to be educated on how shit this thing is
Ok so I actually remember watching this show with my dad, who was in the military and is familiar with guns. Apparently the main reason the sound was so bad was the guy didn’t have his ear protection on properly, and the metal structure amplified the sound
I mean I used to go to the range in the military and not wear ear protection (which was dumb, but I was young) and shoot things a lot louder than that, and I never puked.
It's funny how inept they are, but it's also really sad. These dudes live every day afraid. I remember being a kid and learning about the biblical apocalypse. I would lie awake at night, thinking about how I would hide from the anti-christ's army. Started digging a hole in the backyard, dreaming of building my own bunker. It was terrible, but I grew out of it pretty quick. Can't imagine being a grown person with children, and still having that fear but now with more people you're responsible for. It's also sad for the kids. I know that whole thing with the cops was fake, but even so, seeing your parents and siblings being held at gunpoint? Like wtf.
When I was a kid I was also terrified of the apocalypse. I was so afraid of losing my mom and dad and being left alone in the desolate wasteland of the world.
So I grew up watching Mad Max and things like that so prepping for an apocalypse and having a bunker seemed like raider-bait to me. I learned how to drive cars instead.
So are the preppers not familiar with the history of the Alamo? Or do they know that everyone in the Alamo got slaughtered but continue to use the name? Imagine their poor kids coming home from school after learning the history of the Alamo and discovering that their dads do know the history but think they're more experienced than Davy Crockett and Jim Bowie.
Ya we go to school and learn about the Alamo and that after 13 days the all got slaughtered but we still see it as a point of pride. Cause without there sacrifice the history of Texas could have changed drastically
These guys are 100% dreaming about the day a group of armed raiders comes to kill their wives and kids, so they can live out their wildest revenge fantasies.
The weirdest prepper I have ever encountered was a multi millionaire who convinced himself he wasn’t nuts because he was buying expensive prepping and military gear rather than the cheap stuff everyone else gets scammed into buying. He’s one of those guys who buys old shipping containers or missile silos to build bomb shelters inside.
If you know a little bit about building and keep an eye out you could easily turn small plots of land out in remote areas into small “getaway” spots and flip the properties. Most of the difficulty is getting permission to “build” and organizing for materials and work to be done. It’s definitely profitable in some areas of the country and if you know who to market to.
"Tom says we have to do some domestic terrorism. I don't really like that idea but, Tom knows what he's doing. I respect that. His ranch, his rules." - Steve, probably.
I’ve played airsoft for 20 years which is a relatively expensive hobby, it attracts a lot of guys like this for very obvious reasons. When you meet guys like this that spend thousands of dollars on gear for airsoft theyre the same kinda guys who prep like CRAZY and love to brag about it! The biggest thing that stood out to me when playing with an against these guys in objective based games was their lack of physical fitness and the inability to successfully handle the stresses of SIMULATED combat without fatal consequences. I’ve never had to be in a real fire fight before but I know that these kinds of guys would absolutely CRUMBLE when the lead starts flying for real. They’re in for a very rude and unfortunate awakening if a SHTF situation were to occur.
Penn and Teller pointed out at a Prepper Camp that most of these clowns would probably be gone before they could even react to whatever is going on and I believe that
I like prepping and I'm a prepper myself, but the people on this show are crazy. Like a dirty bomb would cause a planet wide apocalypse. Just go a couple miles out of town and you're okay.
Exactly! In my current situation, prepping is unpractical. But in the future and for others it makes perfect sense and is completely reasonable to have a bag with basic supplies and a general idea of what to do, but these kinds of drills and excessive plans and wastes of money are pointless with the amount of different situations that could happen and the low likelihood of needing to put it into place. You need a simple and very flexible plan and a good amount of general survival knowledge, not an excessive and detailed plan that requires everything to go right.
@@williamsjolander7173 I've definitely noticed what you're talking about when it comes to the shows preppers. They basically plan for one generally unlikely scenario and have no actual preparation for realistic changes in the situation as it unfolds. I think the best bet is probably to become more nomadic instead of trying to live out the rest of my life on a single compound which is a major target for large groups of people.
They way I see who the feck cares if you do or don't? My friends and I do but really it's just an excuse to feck around, shoot guns, wear tactical gear, and feel cool. Same idea as airsoft really. Plus if there's ever a nuclear war we probably going to die in a month heheheh
@@BacklTrack that's exactly what it is, but it seems the implication is they're going to use it as a defense tower -for which the commenter here is absolutely right-- it's a bullet magnet
You're absolutely correct about this guy and others like him secretly wanting to find themselves in a scenario where they could murder other people and claim self-defense. Not merely paranoid and stupid, but an active threat to the community by having that mindset constantly.
The Steve guy has the energy of a guy who really isn’t that tough or good at much but could withstand the horrors of war through the power of unbridled autism.
I mean I think it's really nice of all those preppers gathering all those resources together for the eventual roving gangs that end up taking and using it. Real stand up folks lol
Yupp, because they are so weak and have achozo they won't be ready for reality...they are prepping for a fantasy while I'm stealing their wife and daughter
US Veteran Marine here, I am shocked over the stupidity of the "training (not training) of these doomsday preppers. You should never give a rifle to a child due the his/her size and control of the weapon larger than the kid (teens would be old enough to train). You never Never NEVER aim your weapon barrel at a another human being unless your full intention is to KILL them (never during training, not even if your weapon isn't loaded). Know what you want to do with your weapon, I see these ridiculous 100 round magazine but it's on a rifle with a ranged scope, what in the f*** are they trying to do? Don't get me started on the mobility of lugging that heavy weapon, if they had to move or run. Many Americans that own weapons do not know basic weapon safety (except maybe most former military and law enforcement), it's a shame and the reason why you see so many accidents and shootings, it means some failed to secure their weapon and should have never owned one in the first place.
Most shootings are not from someone failing to secure their weapon. Most shootings are criminals shooting someone. And i dont think its a bad idea to introduce kids to rifles. Single shot and bolt action are excellent options. 100rds with a high power scope is fairly pointless. And most Americans that legally own guns know basic weapon safety. But, thank you for your service.
@@REDNECKISBOSS Most deaths via firearms are actually from suicides. 30 years ago it was pretty close but now it's way way more. Like 20k suicide vs 14k in homicide.
This is actually the apocalypse I prepped for. My family anticipated a global pandemic and shocked up food, masks and PPE stuff years before the pandemic was a thing.
Two million dollars to build that place... Imagine if all these preppers spend their money, time and resources to make the world a better place. Just maybe we didn't have to worry about terrorists and dictators so much.
This guy spends %75 of his life prepping and waiting for a death scenario. His life is going to go by so fast and he's going to make his kids lives also. This a substantial difference between prepared and disturbed.
my guess is that Victoria upon turning 18, she moved out and went no contact with her crazy dad. i can only hope that Tom's kids have the sense to do the same since Tom pretty much scarred them for life with his emotional and psychological abuse
Why does a dad that clearly loves his kids and gives them all sorts of shit, like 3 different houses and expansive amounts of land deserve that, just because he has a hobby that may or may not protect his family if something goes wrong? You’re just evil
@@LugiThePainDrinker he deserves it because what the dad does is emotional and financial abuse to his family. the Dad does not care what his family wants, he only cares about what he wants. which is reason enough to build up resentment. which will only grow in time. especially given that the Dad is very quick to blow large amounts of money for this ridiculous hobby that only he himself is interested in. money that could be used to further Victoria's education, for example, which is likely suffering because of her father's hobby.
@@no-fd6mt their dad is also denying them a normal life, something that affects them more as they got older, though obviously we can't find out how it ended... though these kind of things rarely end well.
@Timberwolftrass nah that's overkill ik people who forgave there parents for way worsttoms not a great dad but fuck man do u realize how most parents were like in history
I feel like I need to point out the difference between a doomsday-prepper and a prepper. You've already described the first, the second is prepping in general. I'm personally a disaster-prepper, meaning I prep what I will need if something happens like a flood, fire, or anything else where I would lose stable housing for enough time, so usually what is stocked is non-perishables, spare hygiene care items, and medical supplies.
@@scottgross9337 Tell that to the people who ever experienced floods and landslides. As for these types of preppers, it mainly comes out of conspiracy theories and radical politics.
4:37 He has all this other fancy gear, but won't splurge for a 40$ mounted light on his pistol, so he could actually hold the gun optimally with two hands. Edit: seeing how many times he's muzzle flashed his family, I'm just going to file him as a certified Fud
@@Gebri3l yes, however it's how urgently they insist this stuff is going to happen. And quite honestly, I do think he should teach his kids to make a gun safe, but he's very clearly in the wrong to force them in an activity they have zero desire in. They are going to grow up resenting guns because their crazy grandpa can't negotiate or reason with anyone. I also can't help but imagine what is going through the kids mind after he realized he pointed (a possibility loaded) gun at police. Not to mention these guys loadouts and gear aren't all that great. Cheap lights, cheap vests, I haven't seen a single ballistic plate, can't handle someone shooting 1 shot next to him in a deer stand, and where are you going to put your drum mag after its empty or jams? These guys are going to get their families killed by scavengers or arrested by feds.
@@lynchlink01 I agree the difference is how you teach kids to. My parents were preppers so I got taught how to hunt, trap, guns, etc but they never went that far. Do whatever you want with your adult friends but don't do it to the kids unless they want. Plus tactical drills with kids is a huge no no. Now adays "prepping" is just my friends fecking around with guns and tactical gear looking like complete idiots but generally it's fun to go down a pistol course in a plate carrier with your handgun doing IPSC style drills
@@demonjmh there's one where the prepper was ready for a financial collapse but they lived in a wildfire prone area and wasn't ready for a wildfire wiping them out and a fire started in the area during filming.
Steve has a muzzle break on his gun This makes all the gas eject from the side of the gun, you know the part that is right next to Tom's head. The problem here is Steve is buying crap for his guns and has literally knows nothing about them.
They were in a blind firing guns. Tom claims to know what he's doing. Tom shot first. What did Tom think Steve was going to do when he said "target acquired Tom, firing in three two one." hand Tom a turkey sandwich? Pull out a ring and ask Tom to marry him?
me: shoots without ear pro once >cant hear anything for a couple seconds >takes days for hearing to return to normal >otherwise totally fine this guy: buddy shoots next to him while both wear ear pro >guy supposedly deafened >guy throws up and has to lay down im calling bull shit (i also shot a much spicier round)
Damn! 700 acres - I would love some day to have a nice piece of land with a pond or two on it. I would not be a "prepper" but I would be prepared. Nothing like these people on this show, you can not live your life in fear every day of something that "COULD" happen.
I straight up do not believe the raid by off duty cops was completely unannounced. Because how else would you get your family to go out to defend their lives with unloaded guns? When you pick up a weapon you check to see if it's loaded. And there's no way to miss your AR-15 not having a mag in it like at 6:55

But they are in prone position because he saw that in movies and video games so thats how you do it!

I was thinking the same exact thing
i thought you were as weird as Tom until the last sentence🤣haha
Goodluck
play spice girls really loud on speakers lmao
3 years late, but the ear pain was definitely Tom's own fault. Since his ear protection is connected when he pressed on his left side alone, which you can see him do right before the shot is fired, it created a small gap on the right side leaving that ear unprotected. That's why he's holding his right ear even though the shot was fired by his left side.
Yeah agreed. If I were Steve I'd be like "I told you I was firing and you have your protection on. If you can't handle a weapon being fired in close proximity, I don't trust you to handle yourself when a group of 15 raiders are throwing frag grenades and flash bangs through your fucking kitchen window"
he was also wearing it wrong, u can see the top headstrap around the back of his neck when he fired
He should have had enough common sense to know he's in a enclosed structure the shot is going to echo in there quite a bit I don't see either of these knuckle heads making it once they are discovered were they are and the guy being that much of a Pussy over just hearing a gun shot go off he's definitely not going to make it he's practically crying and even threw up for Pete Sakes!
Oh please people who grow up shooting have survived more than 1 gunshot without ear plugs....he's just a wimp
Nearly everyone inside the Alamo Mission died in less than two weeks due to superior numbers of attackers overwhelming the couple hundreds inside. Naming your doomsday bunker “The Alamo” is like calling your fishing boat “The Titanic”
The alamo worship is Texas's participation trophy
@@maniacalskipperparticipation trophy for what?
Why do people shit on the history of the Alamo so much. Like it wasnt world changing or anything but it was rather interesting
@@vladorkiba1718 No one said it wasn't interesting but its a story of failure (at least from the American perspective) so naming your bunker after it is basically inviting disaster
@@vladorkiba1718 mostly due to the reason the Alamo happened was due to Mexico outlawing slavery and texans not wanting to give up slavery
These guys are spending millions of dollars to justify forcing their unwilling family to role play with them
They should’ve just gotten into airsoft
I could get behind some of this prepped stuff but these people go so far beyond the deep end on this shit. Like yes I agree, Knowing how to use a gun is a skill that should be learned, stockpiling 46,000 rounds of ammunition, or forcing your daughter to go shooting having a ranch compound and running like Hostage drills with the cops is a little much.
Take a wilderness survival course instead maybe see if you can do some combat training with the police maybe local national guard or something, I'm sure there's legitimate avenues to do so when you've got the money for apocalypse fortresses and 46000 rounds of ammunition, have a few weapons, stockpile emergency food and medical supplies, have some good camping gear and maintain a rugged vehicle you can leave the road with, that should be fine. You're already fucked if it's a dirty bomb anyway so no need to really worry about that
Fun family activity
omg the best moment is when he started crying and throwing up because steve fired a gun too loud.
like you are prepping for all these gun battles and a lil loud noise makes you all woozy?
🤦♂️...It was the nose. That made him sick.
Yeah I was thinking the same thing if that caused him to react the way he did I don't got him making it what so ever!

The second funniest ep. is the firefighter who plans to bug out from New York City without ANY guns, using only knives and Krav Maga (aka bullshido). 🤣😂

@@CodyCockyote7046 definitely was weird LOL. A person couldn't get through Manhattan's criminal world on a "normal" day with just knives and Krav Maga. How they work during a doomsday scenario is baffling.
@@justacontrarian He would do these simulations where he walked around NYC with an actual functioning oxigen tank and I though "shouldnt he be saving those for the apocalypse?"lmao. IMO the guy being from NY looked like he prolly was traumatized by the WTC attacks actually pretty fucked...
The fact he didn’t tell his family this was “training” very well could have lead to one of these cops or family members getting shot.
All it would have taken was one of the older kids remembering to check it was loaded and grabbing some rounds for this to possibly end in tragedy
It would’ve most likely been one of the cops getting shot since the cops knew so yeah it could’ve ended very badly but I’m pretty sure he did tell them that was just for the show or some shit

After watching that I kinda feel like if it ever comes to the two families holing up there together, it'll turn out Steve's been scheming the entire time to take the Alamo from Tom, especially after seeing how he reacts to a single gunshot.
So Steve will kill Tom and declare himself in charge and then, in the ultimate twist, Victoria will shoot her dad and free herself and her mother from the lunacy. They'll just walk off into the sunset together.
You assume that literally anyone would immediately see these dopes fumbling around and rob their asses for everything.
That would make a good show
This could evolve into a nice spin-off screenplay
*clap* *clap* *clap* 👏🏾
And as they return to civilization they discover the event that made Tom violently isolate his family was just like a gas station exploding and there was no threat of terrorism.

I was on this show as a kid actually because my dad was featured in season 1 episode 10: disaster doesn't wait
The some odd years earlier my dad had built an underground bunker in the garage with the help of my older brothers. The bunker was for security and storage and that was basically about it, but when the showrunners found us, the fabricated the entire story of it being specifically made for an EMP apocalypse, and had us do a "drill" for the show. Over the course of the show UCS looking at a map playing our route to our boat on the coastline, then proceeding to spend the night in the bunker, leaving the next night, traveling stealthily on foot through the wilderness using my father's military training and experience, making it to the Coast to our boat and driving off before our segment ends
The bunker was just there for security, the map we were looking at wasn't even our state because we didn't want our location possibly revealed, the nearest coastline is 2 hours away by drive (hiking it would take days or even weeks) and we didn't own a boat, it was rented by the doomsday crew. My dad's "military training" stealth as he was a boat mechanic in the Coast guard.
The recording happened during third grade and release when I was in 4th, so much of it is fabricated that when we occasionally watch the show we treat it as a comedy
Thats pretty funny, I think I might watch that episode just because of this.
So, that bunker, anything good came out of it ?
In that episode I think your dad is saying something about islands in Puget Sound. So much for concealment. Didn't your dad also run for public office in Covington? When I was younger I was mostly focusing on your dads gf haha.

Tom: You shot the gun inside the blind dude.
Steve: Yes...I went second.
They’re violating two of the most important rules in gun safety: treat every firearm as if it is loaded, and only point at what you intend to destroy. The way that they are pointing real firearms at each other in the Grandpas here “exercise” is alarmingly irresponsible. Accident waiting to happen.
The military does it all the time with blanks and barrel covers, it’s safe under the right hands. I do concur with you though. Treat, never, keep, keep. Real gun enthusiast know what that means
@@blkstrrecords that’s true. We used blanks and covers a lot while I was in, and I doubt the cover would stop a live round. But it was different, with many precautions, and the military is inherently dangerous. And these guys aren’t military. Like you said: treat, never, keep, keep. Especially when kids are involved.
@@blkstrrecords don't even lol this guy was in another comment section saying he saw no problem with what he did.

Somehow, when my mind goes to "fortified location I can defend easily," my mind doesn't really jump to "The Alamo". Seeing primarily as it was a decrepit Spanish mission whose defenders kept it for about two weeks before they all died horribly. I mean, Fort Knox, Pavlov's House, Fort Douaumont...Anything'd be better, really.
You nailed it! Fuckin dumbasses

I like to think the mailman gets ambushed everyday at the same time and Tom says “omg I almost shot you” like he didn’t just deliver the previous day.
OMG! I was in a house that got swatted by mistake as an adult. That was so traumatic. With them yelling and pointing guns at me, it was so hard to just walk to them. I stopped at one point and slowly backed away. My friend was behind me and had to push me forward. I also had to talk myself outta running bc I tried to find an escape route.

Your situation was probably way more intense than the little thing they did on the show though cause the police in this video aren't nearly as loud and aggressive as the would be in a real life and death situation
I’m so sorry. That’s terrible. I can’t imagine
One of the most interesting things on this episode is how Tom despite spending 2 million dollars on the Alamo clears his house with a .410 revolver and flashlight in the other hand. Like he could have a sweet Glock, FN, Sig Sauer, or HK rig but no. Then proceeds to have a breakdown later as what looks like the Sig rifle his friend was shooting was too loud even with ear pro.
Boomers gonna boomer
Victoria holding her dad back when he went to hug her says a lot. Not saying he definitely abuses her, but she definitely does not feel comfortable with him touching her.
Jesus
I think there was some whole other shit going on there. The mom and the daughter both had accents, but the dad didn't, so I wonder if he is like a stepdad. Still, I noticed the same thing, she practically pushed him off of her.
Lol okay calm down
Every once in a while you see a child who proves how unfortunate it is that you can't chose the family you're born into. These kids are all examples.
His kids probably have really bad anxiety from living like this :(
I agree. I'm surprised Child Protective Services hadn't been out there, as what Tom does is really child emotional abuse. Steve fircing his daughter to shoot guns that she hates, is also child abuse.
A good parent NEVER forces a child to give up on their strong beliefs. At her age, she is coming into her own morals and values as a human being, getting her own "voice" and her father doesn't allow that? Wow.
Both of the wives should divorce those fools, as they are doing nothing in protecting their children from a father's obsession....they are responsible for the abuse by being complacent. Sad.
@@DianeHasHopeInChrist forcing a child to shoot guns is not child abuse
@@beadiestpumar3230 being pro gun, I’ve gotta say forcing your kid to do that is kinda wrong. If someone has gun anxiety it creates an unsafe environment for shooting
Don't worry. Their blood pressure drops 8 to 10 points when they go to the Alamo.
@@beadiestpumar3230 lmfao "forcing a child to shoot guns is not child abuse" are you kidding me? It's a weapon that can take lives? No one should be forced ever to do something that scares them or makes them uncomfortable. I'm an adult and guns have always made me extremely uncomfortable. I hate loud noises, it triggers my fight or flight response and it causes me to have panic attacks. I couldn't imagine being forced to shoot them as a kid! People like you need to be sterilized if you really think it's ok to force a child to shoot a gun. They are kids, not soldiers and you shouldn't be training them as such. Let them be kids. If the kid expresses interest in shooting that's fine but forcing them is absolutely abusive and it really shows your intelligence level for you to genuinely believe it isn't

Ok so I actually remember watching this show with my dad, who was in the military and is familiar with guns. Apparently the main reason the sound was so bad was the guy didn’t have his ear protection on properly, and the metal structure amplified the sound
Lmao and he had the audacity to give the other guy shit for it. How embarrassing
Do you know what would be a lot louder? A doomsday event
I mean I used to go to the range in the military and not wear ear protection (which was dumb, but I was young) and shoot things a lot louder than that, and I never puked.

@@davidpeters6743You’re just built different some people are naturally more resilient then others.

I’ve never fired a gun in my life but I feel pretty confident that I could break into his compound and take all of his supplies.
It's funny how inept they are, but it's also really sad.
These dudes live every day afraid. I remember being a kid and learning about the biblical apocalypse. I would lie awake at night, thinking about how I would hide from the anti-christ's army. Started digging a hole in the backyard, dreaming of building my own bunker. It was terrible, but I grew out of it pretty quick. Can't imagine being a grown person with children, and still having that fear but now with more people you're responsible for.
It's also sad for the kids. I know that whole thing with the cops was fake, but even so, seeing your parents and siblings being held at gunpoint? Like wtf.
When I was a kid I was also terrified of the apocalypse. I was so afraid of losing my mom and dad and being left alone in the desolate wasteland of the world.
So I grew up watching Mad Max and things like that so prepping for an apocalypse and having a bunker seemed like raider-bait to me. I learned how to drive cars instead.
@@christianlowman2698 oh I was used to being left alone my mom constantly locked me outside alone even when I was really little
As a kid, the threat of nuclear holocaust was an everyday thing. That shit used to make me sick to my stomach and keep me up at night.
I don't think even the reporter who had "temporary PTSD" after firing an AR-15 at a range reacted as badly as this dude did
So are the preppers not familiar with the history of the Alamo? Or do they know that everyone in the Alamo got slaughtered but continue to use the name? Imagine their poor kids coming home from school after learning the history of the Alamo and discovering that their dads do know the history but think they're more experienced than Davy Crockett and Jim Bowie.
@@SludgeManCometh I don’t think these preppers are gonna kick much ass, so death is the more realistically attainable goal for them here lol

@@SludgeManCometh And how many of those people stationed at the Alamo were crying and bitching over a loud noise?
Ya we go to school and learn about the Alamo and that after 13 days the all got slaughtered but we still see it as a point of pride. Cause without there sacrifice the history of Texas could have changed drastically
These guys are 100% dreaming about the day a group of armed raiders comes to kill their wives and kids, so they can live out their wildest revenge fantasies.
So lil man has to be carried to the vehicle but can grab a weapon and some luggage when dad yells grandpa 😂😂😂
"you fired inside the blind dude", just like I did give minutes earlier , but that doesn't matter.
The weirdest prepper I have ever encountered was a multi millionaire who convinced himself he wasn’t nuts because he was buying expensive prepping and military gear rather than the cheap stuff everyone else gets scammed into buying. He’s one of those guys who buys old shipping containers or missile silos to build bomb shelters inside.
That's actually pretty cool. It's always good to have some kind of shelter in case of natural disasters.
I mean, one of those two things are actually designed to survive a near direct impact from a missile
@@barrag3463 yup. Sounds like a pretty cool investment. Personally I'd buy it and make a man cave outta it until I actually need it as a bunker
If you know a little bit about building and keep an eye out you could easily turn small plots of land out in remote areas into small “getaway” spots and flip the properties. Most of the difficulty is getting permission to “build” and organizing for materials and work to be done. It’s definitely profitable in some areas of the country and if you know who to market to.
It would make more sense to open an airsoft or paintball site. More money than sense.

I’ve played airsoft for 20 years which is a relatively expensive hobby, it attracts a lot of guys like this for very obvious reasons. When you meet guys like this that spend thousands of dollars on gear for airsoft theyre the same kinda guys who prep like CRAZY and love to brag about it! The biggest thing that stood out to me when playing with an against these guys in objective based games was their lack of physical fitness and the inability to successfully handle the stresses of SIMULATED combat without fatal consequences. I’ve never had to be in a real fire fight before but I know that these kinds of guys would absolutely CRUMBLE when the lead starts flying for real. They’re in for a very rude and unfortunate awakening if a SHTF situation were to occur.

I recall that guy who drew that picture of the Texas and Russian flags together at the Alamo was a Airsoft guy irl.
Fucking love the beginning of the scene where Tom's big and bad about "i grew up with guns"then gets dropped by IMAGINATION
We all know they’re planning on getting their kids to marry each other right?
That was my first thought!
I'm taking a wild guess and gonna say that Tom does not have the kind of relationship with his father where Grandpa would stop by the house often.
If grandpa is dead, saying he is here should sound weird to the family but the intruder doesn't know grandpa is dead.
The idea of Steven being locked up with them during the apocalypse is for sure the plot of a horror movie. I fear for the daughters
Also Tom is worried about "millions" of Houstonians so he's bringing along 3 people as back up?
Yeah. Like Cloverfield 2
8:16 It's so funny how instead of having an AR or AK he has an SKS with polymer furniture and a removeable drum-mag
Penn and Teller pointed out at a Prepper Camp that most of these clowns would probably be gone before they could even react to whatever is going on and I believe that

@@SludgeManCometh for sure. I know I have some food and water stored. I just buy some when I have the money and it builds up over time.
Exactly! In my current situation, prepping is unpractical. But in the future and for others it makes perfect sense and is completely reasonable to have a bag with basic supplies and a general idea of what to do, but these kinds of drills and excessive plans and wastes of money are pointless with the amount of different situations that could happen and the low likelihood of needing to put it into place. You need a simple and very flexible plan and a good amount of general survival knowledge, not an excessive and detailed plan that requires everything to go right.
@@williamsjolander7173 I've definitely noticed what you're talking about when it comes to the shows preppers. They basically plan for one generally unlikely scenario and have no actual preparation for realistic changes in the situation as it unfolds.

A dirty bomb wouldn't cause a planet wide apocalypse at all. Not even close lol
They way I see who the feck cares if you do or don't? My friends and I do but really it's just an excuse to feck around, shoot guns, wear tactical gear, and feel cool. Same idea as airsoft really. Plus if there's ever a nuclear war we probably going to die in a month heheheh

US Veteran Marine here, I am shocked over the stupidity of the "training (not training) of these doomsday preppers. You should never give a rifle to a child due the his/her size and control of the weapon larger than the kid (teens would be old enough to train). You never Never NEVER aim your weapon barrel at a another human being unless your full intention is to KILL them (never during training, not even if your weapon isn't loaded).
Know what you want to do with your weapon, I see these ridiculous 100 round magazine but it's on a rifle with a ranged scope, what in the f*** are they trying to do? Don't get me started on the mobility of lugging that heavy weapon, if they had to move or run.
Many Americans that own weapons do not know basic weapon safety (except maybe most former military and law enforcement), it's a shame and the reason why you see so many accidents and shootings, it means some failed to secure their weapon and should have never owned one in the first place.
Plus, what tactical value does a five year old really add. Keep the goddamn child away from a gunfight.
@@GamesFromSpace real bruh moment if you ask me
They’re larping as army guys. Let them lug around a 50lb drum magazine. They’re probably the reason for ammunition shortages.
Most shootings are not from someone failing to secure their weapon. Most shootings are criminals shooting someone. And i dont think its a bad idea to introduce kids to rifles. Single shot and bolt action are excellent options. 100rds with a high power scope is fairly pointless. And most Americans that legally own guns know basic weapon safety. But, thank you for your service.

Why does a dad that clearly loves his kids and gives them all sorts of shit, like 3 different houses and expansive amounts of land deserve that, just because he has a hobby that may or may not protect his family if something goes wrong? You’re just evil
@@LugiThePainDrinker he deserves it because what the dad does is emotional and financial abuse to his family. the Dad does not care what his family wants, he only cares about what he wants. which is reason enough to build up resentment. which will only grow in time. especially given that the Dad is very quick to blow large amounts of money for this ridiculous hobby that only he himself is interested in. money that could be used to further Victoria's education, for example, which is likely suffering because of her father's hobby.
@@Timberwolftrass you make a lot of assumptions based off of nothing the kids clearly like their dad
@@no-fd6mt their dad is also denying them a normal life, something that affects them more as they got older, though obviously we can't find out how it ended... though these kind of things rarely end well.
@Timberwolftrass nah that's overkill ik people who forgave there parents for way worsttoms not a great dad but fuck man do u realize how most parents were like in history
I feel like I need to point out the difference between a doomsday-prepper and a prepper. You've already described the first, the second is prepping in general. I'm personally a disaster-prepper, meaning I prep what I will need if something happens like a flood, fire, or anything else where I would lose stable housing for enough time, so usually what is stocked is non-perishables, spare hygiene care items, and medical supplies.
Very smart! I do the same.
Why does anyone wants to be a prepper? Nothing will ever happen in the USA.
@@scottgross9337 Tell that to the people who ever experienced floods and landslides. As for these types of preppers, it mainly comes out of conspiracy theories and radical politics.
@@scottgross9337 that's objectively false and ignores all the times that something has happened, and also assumes everyone lives in the US.
This is me also.
It seems like most of these preppers are older and likely won't be around long enough to see a disaster bad enough to actually use these bunkers.
This is the best episode I’ve seen. Him crying was just amazing.
4:37 He has all this other fancy gear, but won't splurge for a 40$ mounted light on his pistol, so he could actually hold the gun optimally with two hands. Edit: seeing how many times he's muzzle flashed his family, I'm just going to file him as a certified Fud
Tom literally fired his gun in the blind before Steve and now he's pissed that Steve did the same thing
I never realized how traumatized the kids could be.
Why would they be traumatized lol they're just learning skills which are life saving.
@@Gebri3l yes, however it's how urgently they insist this stuff is going to happen. And quite honestly, I do think he should teach his kids to make a gun safe, but he's very clearly in the wrong to force them in an activity they have zero desire in. They are going to grow up resenting guns because their crazy grandpa can't negotiate or reason with anyone. I also can't help but imagine what is going through the kids mind after he realized he pointed (a possibility loaded) gun at police. Not to mention these guys loadouts and gear aren't all that great. Cheap lights, cheap vests, I haven't seen a single ballistic plate, can't handle someone shooting 1 shot next to him in a deer stand, and where are you going to put your drum mag after its empty or jams? These guys are going to get their families killed by scavengers or arrested by feds.
@@lynchlink01 I agree the difference is how you teach kids to. My parents were preppers so I got taught how to hunt, trap, guns, etc but they never went that far. Do whatever you want with your adult friends but don't do it to the kids unless they want. Plus tactical drills with kids is a huge no no. Now adays "prepping" is just my friends fecking around with guns and tactical gear looking like complete idiots but generally it's fun to go down a pistol course in a plate carrier with your handgun doing IPSC style drills
training child soldiers is the perfect family bonding activity
You can tell the curly haired nurse was trying so hard not to smile and laugh when she said that Tom was gonna be ok
Each “prepper” has their own personal end times fantasy
Itd be hilarious prepping for a specific apocalypse then the apocalypse happens but its not the one you prepared for
@@demonjmh that’s exactly what happened to the peace who hoarded silver and corona didn’t help the prices of that “investment”
@@demonjmh there's one where the prepper was ready for a financial collapse but they lived in a wildfire prone area and wasn't ready for a wildfire wiping them out and a fire started in the area during filming.
The kids look pissed when the cops are talking to them about prepping in the first family
The fact cops even indulged this guy in his weird fantasy is slightly worrying...
The children definitely didn’t have a child hood at all I feel so bad for the family’s having to deal with the dad
Didn't everyone die at The Alamo? I wonder how many times he forgot Matthew during the drills. Aww, he needs a tampon for his ear.
The day Tom and Steve split ways was the darkest day of the decade.
"You guys live in Texas. Wear the camo or you're not on the show."
Steve has a muzzle break on his gun
This makes all the gas eject from the side of the gun, you know the part that is right next to Tom's head. The problem here is Steve is buying crap for his guns and has literally knows nothing about them.
Tom is rocking a Taurus Judge as his weapon of choice for the apocalypse, safe to say neither of these guys knows what the fuck they're doing.
They were in a blind firing guns. Tom claims to know what he's doing. Tom shot first. What did Tom think Steve was going to do when he said "target acquired Tom, firing in three two one." hand Tom a turkey sandwich? Pull out a ring and ask Tom to marry him?
me: shoots without ear pro once
>cant hear anything for a couple seconds
>takes days for hearing to return to normal
>otherwise totally fine
this guy: buddy shoots next to him while both wear ear pro
>guy supposedly deafened
>guy throws up and has to lay down
im calling bull shit (i also shot a much spicier round)
Damn! 700 acres - I would love some day to have a nice piece of land with a pond or two on it. I would not be a "prepper" but I would be prepared. Nothing like these people on this show, you can not live your life in fear every day of something that "COULD" happen.
I am 100% shocked the sheriffs department got involved in this.
Willing to bet those are paid actors. No way they let themselves be humiliated like that.
“ I might have to let you go” 😂
The Michael and Dwight comparison is so accurate dude
Wait, wasn't the Alamo captured by Mexican troops, and every one killed? Not really setting good precedent for your "compound".
Yep lol that’s what Reese mentioned when we watched it originally.
I straight up do not believe the raid by off duty cops was completely unannounced. Because how else would you get your family to go out to defend their lives with unloaded guns?
When you pick up a weapon you check to see if it's loaded. And there's no way to miss your AR-15 not having a mag in it like at 6:55
