We truly date ourselves when we announce that we come from the tail end of the “baby boomer” generation but, coming from that period, having a father who fought in WW2, we were taught many things that, we think, our generation did not really teach Generation X or the Millennials.
Now, with Generation Z approaching – with the world nearly always at the edge of a new disaster, there is a real fear out there that many of our young people will fall further behind when it comes to survival prepping. Telling them not everything can be solved by their iPhone is nearly unthinkable!
In other words, it is up to you as prepping parents to teach your kids how to survive during a SHTF scenario. Yet, don’t just teach the basics, tell them why it is so important to know how to live without technology. Or, if they can’t, show them how technology (re: solar panels) can work for them should the worst happen.
After the break go to the next page and learn more about millennials and if they are truly ready for a serious emergency situation!

Accurate
on the whole, millennials can barely microwave a Hotpocket in their mommy’s basement
I’ll be fine. I was raised hunting and backpacking for a week at a time sometimes. Fact is I enjoy the wilderness and I have the gear and experience to survive it.
Let’s see a Millennial Infantryman with a combat tour in Afghanistan/ former correctional officer vs a mail man and former correctional officer. Ok buddy, it’s fine I’ll see you at the end of my AK-47 when$#%&!@*hits the fan.
There’s a million pages of document that could be written here about how “self reliance” has consolidated into the hand held video game but until a real crisis appears, it will be laughed at – so those of us who know how to take care of ourselves because we were taught how to get our hands dirty (and then wash them – thought I’d better throw that in too) – there’s a message going around that says: “Grandma survived the Depression because she knew how to do stuff.”
Still running your WASR?
Ohhh yeah. I need to get a micro red dot for it tho recommendations?
Your budget?
200$
That tight of a budget, the only thing reputable is going to be a Bushnell, Vortex, or a Holosun.
Haha those were the two I was deciding between I might go for a holosun. I can’t find many non AR CQB 1-4 scopes that can zero 7.62 that are also picitinny
Nope don’t even have to read the article lol
most of them can’t figure out what a lug nut or lug wrench does let alone getting into something more serious like shutting off the water valve at the water main to fix a broken pipe .
I’m biased towards Holosun because I like the solar power aspect.
Bushnell makes an ‘AK25’ micro red dot.
Survival of the fittest…
It’s called population control
Maybe, after they stop crying and calling someone else to deal with it, they would probably Goggle it
My millennial grand daughter Kyla Fickel will make it, cuz I taught her how to survive. We should teach all our children and grand children to be survivors.
You were raised old school, your parents knew how to shape you. That is something to be proud of.
Are boomers?
Spec ops Navy, you forgot one of mine
Meh… sometimes the herd needs thinning.
Probably not if all these childish protests and riots are any indication.
I think theres a percentage of all decade labeled ages that wouldnt survive without the folks that do have the knowledge. Its if they have the skill to ask and learn to help themselves make it. Or have to humble themselfs to have ask for help.
Damn right burn. Where are there fat hearts gonna be without their blood thinners and diabetic meds.
As far as I’m concerned the collapse can’t get here soon enough.
But the hipsters will have cool$#%&!@*to recover later.
No most of them can’t even start a fire without a lighter !!!
No!
Lucky us.
you underestimate how many simulation training scenaios these millenials have done.. with countless hours of situational awareness sharpening. Never played fallout multiplayer? COD? etc.. lmao
f**k no most people specially Americans relay to much on electronics if a real emergency was to happen we will probably kill each other
they are smarter than my generation a little more bitchy and whiny but smarter. i give them more credit than i used too
Yeah right… no life skills at all… I hate to tell you but google ain’t going to work, now what?
Even 100 years ago there were lazy people, stupidity isn’t contained by time.
With their cell phones & tablets
Most millennials these days suffer from anxiety , depression, and pussification and need a safe place to cry it out. I would worry to much about they handle themselves 😉 worry about yourself.
LOL. No.
meh less competion for essentials.
not directed at anyone specifically but skills like barrista are useless. farmer, butcher, soap, cheese candles black powder carpentery masonry distillery yes.
These classifications are dumb , idc when I was born I am me and not like anyone else and will survive
The worlds overpopulated. Stop showing people how to survive lol natural selection
If they have an app for it ….lol
Youtube
As a millennial who knows millennials, let me say that this is not a bad thing
Don’t worry…soon as they don’t get a participation trophy their lil heads will explode lol 😉
I say no.
They can’t even change a tire!
I’ll be glad when your generation kicks it so I don’t have to hear the term “participation trophy” from the morons that destroyed the economy, the environment, nutrition, and the american dream.
Christ.
WELL I GUESS NOT. 5 minutes, tops.
The millennials will be the zombies!
