Someone has 25,000 rounds of ammunition hidden in his home

As we enter December, the days before the so-called Mayan "end of the world" prophecy on December 21 are numbered. Although this statement has been denied by experts from various countries since it became popular. However, according to British media reports on November 29, more and more British people are worried about the coming "doomsday" and are privately making preparations for "escape" in various aspects, such as stockpiling large amounts of food, trying to use primitive weapons, practicing hunting to survive, etc. In the United States, about 3 million people are preparing for the end of the world, such as raising fish in their own swimming pools. Many people are preparing luxurious underground shelters, which have even made real estate developers rich.

Fleeing to the countryside to hunt for a living

Science fiction writer Edward Toole was worried about the coming "doomsday". He deliberately left the UK 14 years ago and went to live in the remote countryside of Slovakia 1,000 miles away, thinking that this would improve his chances of survival. There he practiced using a bow and arrow, and learned to make a fire and grill rabbit meat to satisfy his hunger. Later he met his current wife, Lenate, and they had three children, and together they helped him hunt and prepare food. "I am preparing for the 'dark ages'. If the UK loses power and oil, most people will die within a week," O'Toole said. "I want to prepare in advance so that my children have a chance to survive."

O'Toole also believes that the British government is also secretly preparing for the end of the world. "There are many people preparing, such as Russia. They have built huge bunkers. Russian bunkers can accommodate the entire population of Russia."

Will kill people to survive

Retired soldier Mike Desen now lives with his wife and two children. He has a trailer ready so that if disaster strikes, he and his family can reach a hideout in Wales within 15 minutes. "Bad things do happen, houses burn down, floods come," Sanderson said. "If you act too late, you're going to die."

Sanderson has been taking action since watching Hurricane Trina devastate the United States a few years ago. He said: "Disasters happen every day in the world, but we always think that it will not happen to us." He prepared a truck of supplies, enough for a family for three months, and even conducted a drill. "The most difficult decision will be when to leave."

Sanderson plans to use the survival skills he learned in the military. He believes that towns are dangerous places because there are many people and few resources. In a dangerous situation, if someone comes to rob something, he will kill to protect his family.

We can cope with the economic crisis even if the apocalypse does not come

Simon Long, 47, served as a soldier in his early years and is now the father of five children. He built a storage room specifically to prepare for the "doomsday" and filled it with rice, flour, soybeans, sugar, dried meat, etc. And his emergency pantry already has enough food to last a year. He also spent £20,000 ensuring the food could be preserved without electricity. He raised his own chickens, grew fruits and vegetables, and learned canning and other food preservation techniques.

"I sympathize with those who are unprepared, and I am by no means the same as them." Dillon said that his goal is not only to cope with the doomsday, but also to protect his family from difficulties during the economic downturn, especially to take good care of his wife Noreen, who is hemiplegic and suffers from heart disease.

Dillon said that as food prices continue to soar and extreme weather occurs frequently, it is not a bad thing to stock up on more food. It is definitely not a "brain defect." "I feel that it is my responsibility to feed my family. If a crisis comes, I will not rely on the government."

Practice shooting with my son every week

About 3 million Americans are preparing for the "doomsday" to varying degrees. A Phoenix resident raised 1,000 tilapias in his swimming pool. He said that when powerful solar electromagnetic pulses turn the earth's civilization "back to the Stone Age," he is prepared to rely on these fish to survive. Another couple stored 25,000 rounds of ammunition and enough food to last them half a century at home.

Arizona's Tim Walston is one of those people. His garage is stuffed with food, purified water, weapons and a trailer so he can have a car if disaster strikes. His stockpile of canned chicken will last for 15 years.

Ralston takes his two sons to the desert every week to practice shooting. "For me, being able to use a gun keeps my family safe and I can help others," Ralston said.
