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!

They will likely just look for an ” app ” to fix the situation.
They can’t even tie there shoe laces there doomed
Thanks to there parent’s
So Toby, I suppose your parents and grandparents slit their wrists when they realized what a hateful, blackhearted, spwan of satan you are. So they arent hear to see you vomit out your ignorance.
You should leave Christ out of your pathetic moaning. There is nothing Christlike in your heart
Toby Lee Mr. Bilbro seems SUPER Christlike with these lovely comments! Jesus wants all of his disciples to encourage disrespectful words, hate, and suicide. Thanks for the great Christian message Frank!
As soon as they lose the the internet they will be in the streets crying and holding their teddy bears
I wouldn’t say that’s a scary thought as much as a happy one.
Depends on who raised them…
no
Man…yall need to chill lol its only wed

A lot of millenials can’t even fry an egg. Or use common sense. Or even posess common sense.
But those few that do…please, reproduce before stupidity out numbers us all!!
Wow, mr. Frank..I’m a little confused. You are talking about Christ like statements, but then I read yours, which is right down the same road as the one you are complaining about.
It’s very confusing
The can’t even survive a job or life without video games. :/
I blame technology. So many people think they don’t need to be able to do something because there is something to do it for them. Most never fathom what would happen or how they would survive if these things stopped working or were unattainable.
People are conditioned to rely on accommodations that make life simple and easy.
Oh hell no!
Wtf is a millenial ?
The purge
I’ve seen too many other generations that would fail miserably too. As a millennial, I’m ready, my children are ready. I think too much blame is pushed on millennials and not enough blame is pushed onto their parents and that generation. Someone had to lead millennials to being cry babies.
Good. The millennials will likely be the cause of the collapse of society.
They don’t have common sense!
Most of them don’t even know what a compass is or how to read a map. Everything they do revolves around technology.
They can’t make it out of their parents house.
Who cares if they are not prepared, it’s not my fault
Personal responsibility was never taught
Let em die…
I agree and strongly disagree with many things about this video.
Here’s where I see your point, many Millennials and Gen Z have been failed by previous generations for not instilling upon them real life lessons. However due to this many of this generation have had to learn on their own how the world works. As you said yourself half of the viewers who watch your channel are younger than you. You don’t look quite middle aged yet which means more young people on average are interested in preparing ourselves for a societal collapse than older folks.
This is due to many reasons. One, we have grown up witnessing the destruction from previous generations with regards to war and pollution. We are more believing in the truths of what man made climate change will do. We know more about what cyber attacks to our grid can do. We are more conscious about what consuming highly preserved and chemical loaded foods can do to our bodies. We also have to deal with an economy that doesn’t readily provide family supporting jobs like it has for previous generations. Youth might be more aware than you would like to generalize.
However, luckily our generation also has more resources available. True, I agree more of today’s generation could learn from our elders, assuming they haven’t forgotten self-dependent skills either. Wisdom cannot be learned as easily from the Internet. However, collective knowledge of the Internet has helped this generation gain back a lot of prepping information lost through previous generations. Not to mention we are more open minded to incorporating new concepts such as wind turbines and solar panels. There’s a huge movement that you are overlooking of millennials wanting to get back to a more natural way of life. A life our parents and grandparents find crazy and regressive. Gen X’ers have the Regan mentality of staying in one job for a false sense of security.
Finally it seems you’re social parameters are focused way too much on older ways of thought. Emasculation of men is the same as saying women cannot be just as contributing to a families survival. Most children don’t want to lose their parents by claiming they were abused just because their video games were taken. Does it happen, yes, but hardly your average family and usually either the investigation turns out the truth or the child admits he/she was wrong and fesses up. To place paranoia on the system that everyone is out to split up your family is simply not true! And while I was swatted as a child and don’t see anything wrong with it in certain circumstances, I know plenty of people who taught their kids to think out their actions instead of resorting to violence and those kids all turned out to be very well grounded. The ones who usually turned out to be bullies were the ones who had macho/archaic/violent/corporal/sexist upbringings.
Can Google still be used? Let’s hope so for them.
When the batteries go dead total breakdown! Its over where isthe cry room and lets yell a the Republicans who did it.
Not a chance. They would all die if things went suddenly back to 1940.
That’s the idea!
A lot of thos i believe is learned from others and friends over the internet,my children were brought up differently and had different beliefs,now it seems comments from friends and others sways their thinking
Maybe not but it a great way to resupply
No, (most)…not all are more concerned with the latest and greatest in Technology,cars,clothing etc. Most don’t know how to use a tape measure properly, do I dare discuss the aspect of hunting and dressing their game ? Again for those you have been taught by their elders and have taken the time to listen, they will be fine and the others….most have this bullshit thought of entitlement.
Millennials can’t handle finding and keeping a job. They are inept in all things.
No not at all.
nope
Survival of the fittest. At least they won’t be around to continue to spread their hatred and ignorance..
I am raising snowplowes.. Not snowflakes…
Mine will. We live on a fatm/ranch and they no about hard work and it’s consequences.
Too bad for them.
Most. Not just millennials.
So they do us a favor and get rid of themselves .. I’m good with that
They have youth and strength on their side don’t forget iraq and Afghanistan vets were almost all Gen X and older millianials . Alot of men think they are still 30 until they spend time with 30 year olds and find.ouf they are not In the physical condition they think they are
Its not scary.
Its natural selection back on the human race.
When one reaches an age they would need to fend for themselves in a SHTF scenario, is also an age they can choose to learn methods of self preservation or not.
You cannot blame a parent if a person does not know how to change a tire if they are old enough to operate the vehicle.
With the worlds knowledge packed into our pockets the only excuse for ignorance is ones own lack of desire to learn on their own.
Won’t be able to feed themselves
Yes, yes they are…
Nature finds a way, or dies.. lol
