Is the world really ending, or are we just being sold fear? Today I’m back under the tarp to take a realistic look at the threats of war, AI, and why I’m NOT buying gold for prepping. The headlines are full of "2025 war predictions" and "AI taking over," but as an everyday prepper, I believe the real risks are much closer to home. In this video, I break down why much of the current global panic is designed to keep us fearful, controlled, and accepting of higher prices. I also bring up a common prepper debate: Gold vs. Cash. I explain why I believe gold nugget won't help you at a petrol station when it comes to realistic emergency preparedness. If you’re tired of the doomsday shouting and want practical, common-sense advice for everyday life, this video is for you. If you enjoyed my last video about why I’m changing my approach to prepping, thanks for coming back!
