On Tuesday night’s episode of “Doomsday Preppers” (Tue., 9 p.m. ET on National Geographic) viewers met Mr. Wayne. He’s a prepper intent on reviving the ancient practice of bartering should he survive an apocalypse.
Prepping for the worst led Wayne to start his own vineyard, producing the excellently named Wayne’s World wine, which he intends to use instead of currency.
However, aware that man cannot live on wine alone, Wayne has also stockpiled some essential victuals. Dog food to be precise.
Chowing down on a can of the stuff, Wayne was feeling bullish. “People are gonna be begging for this stuff,” he said. “They’re gonna say, ‘you gotta any more of that dog food?’ and I’m gonna say ‘no, I think I’m gonna keep it for myself.’”

Land Rover has created a concept SUV for the Doomsday Prepper !
The DC100 is meant to signal the future of the Land Rover Defender. It’s pure practicality on four wheels and none of that annoying sleek styling that is showing up in other models. Nope, this car is meant to take on an uncertain future.
With its rooftop equipment rack, you can stow hundreds of cans of Spam and canned peas topside, leaving the cargo area for your stash of glinting yellow gold bullion. As giant chasms split open before you, you can count on the winch to deliver you from a sure, quick demise. Best of all, the DC100 has a snorkel so it can be driven in deep water. Land Rover even came up with something called “Wade Aid” with sonar sensors on the bumper and side mirrors to measure water depth. When it senses that [...]

Mexico is seeing a spike in visitors tied into the Mayan calendar, which some interpret as ending December 21, 2012.
While the date’s significance is debated, doomsday predictions have helped boost tourism in Mayan regions of Mexico.
The resort area known as the Mayan Riviera is a favorite with tourists, but now more are also lining up to view the coastal Mayan ruins in Tulum.
“It’s amazing how that survived for so long, and our construction doesn’t seem to last that long,” said Lance Aldridge, who was visiting with his wife and two sons.
The fascination with centuries old Mayan civilization is especially high this year, because the end of the Maya long-count calendar, which runs 5,123 years, falls on December 21, 2012, the winter solstice.
Some interpret the doomsday date inscribed in stone 1,300 years ago as a prediction of the end of the world, as featured in the apocalyptic movie starring [...]

If you’re wealthy and more than a little fearful about the end of the world, Larry Hall has the place for you.
Hall, a Florida Tech graduate and former Harris Corp. manager who became a communications company entrepreneur, can set you up in an 1,800-square-foot condominium built in a decommissioned missile silo in the middle of the desolate Kansas prairie.
Price: $2 million.
Once ensconced in your condo, part of a 15-story complex designed by Melbourne-based MAI Design Build principal Dave Menzel, you and your family can relax in the protection of nine-foot-thick walls as you ride out natural disasters or manmade destruction and any societal breakdown that ensues.
Though it may be a barren wasteland outside, inside the silo you’ll have a movie theater, library, pool and, as the website notes, “military grade” security. You can dine on veggies grown in the hydroponic garden.
And to make subterranean life even better, each [...]

If you want a gun and if it’s legal, Cris Parsons, the owner of Houston Armory, can get it for you.
But you might want to get it sooner, not later.
“Even the smallest parts are six to eight months back order. Even the little things, so it’s getting very difficult to get a whole gun assembled and sell a complete gun because of a lack of parts,” Parsons said.
He said it’s a repeat situation of 2009. Back then, fearful gun owners and wanna-be gun owners snapped up ammunition and weapons because they feared the then newly-elected president, Barack Obama, was going to try to ban gun sales.
It never happened, but that doesn’t mean the fear of a ban went away.
“If he wins the election, he’s got nothing to lose, so a lot of people think he’s going to go after guns if he gets a second term,” Parsons said.
The [...]

Western governments led by Washington are assiduously removing every check towards all-out hostility with the Islamic Republic of Iran, escalating economic sanctions, while mounting a fierce array of military power in the Persian Gulf.
Meanwhile, the Western public is disarmed from outright opposition to the juggernaut to war because the mainstream media has assisted Western governments in falsely portraying Iran as an imminent nuclear threat to world peace, and downplaying the gravity of what is at stake if a conflict should result – World War III.
The same deception that the Western governments and media perpetrated to facilitate the war on Iraq less than a decade ago is now being repeated with Iran. But the real threat to world peace and the future of humanity is not Iran and its non-existent nuclear weapons program – it is the US-led alliance of NATO powers and their Middle East partners, Israel, Turkey [...]

Emergency kits contain survival essentials. Food, water, flashlights, radios, and more can all be found in a common kit.
Survival is on the mind of millions world-wide as thoughts of economic turmoil, war, natural disasters, and apocalyptic predictions remain at-large. Emergency supplies are in high demand as many self-proclaimed “survivalists” and “preppers” search out effective methods of endurance in a chaotic scenario. Among the multitudes of emergency products, most can agree that an emergency kit is among the most essential disaster preparedness must-haves.
Every emergency kit should contain ample food and water, which according to FEMA, is about a ½ gallon of water a day per person, and enough calories to supply the energy needed to perform necessary work.

You’ve probably read it or seen it on TV, people going to extremes to prepare for doomsday. But it’s that bunker-mentality many say steers away from what’s important; emergency preparedness.
Disasters can strike at a moment’s notice. And when preparing for one, the American Red Cross says all it takes is one backpack.
“You want to have water; you want to have non-perishable food items. So, tuna fish, canned goods, a flashlight, you definitely want to have batteries for your flashlight,” said Dawn Leaks, Director of Communications at the American Red Cross.
“So if you recall in October there was a run on batteries at the store, you couldn’t get them,” said Leaks of the aftermath of the October snowstorm, one of the many natural disasters that hit the Pioneer Valley in 2011. Leaks told 22News it’s never too late to be prepared.
Your bag should also include a 7-day supply of medications, [...]

New research reveals that symbols which appear on ancient pottery in Florida, Georgia and Alabama are identical to Mayan glyphs, the symbols used to write the Mayan language. The pottery known as Swift Creek because it was first found near a creek of that name in central Georgia was a highly decorated form of pottery produced around 2,000 years ago beginning around 0 A.D. The pottery has been found in many locations including Jacksonville, Florida. Many of the Swift Creek designs were collected in the book A World Engraved: Archeology of the Swift Creek Culture where several researchers noted the similarity in designs with Mexican symbols although this was dismissed as purely coincidental by academics.
Maya in Florida, Georgia?
Over the past three months the internet has been abuzz with the idea that the ancient Maya once lived in Florida and Georgia. It started when a Georgia architect announced that he’d [...]

The ancient Maya once claimed an area about the size of Texas, with cities and fields that occupied what is now southern Mexico and northern Central America, including the countries of Guatemala, Belize, El Salvador and Honduras. The height of the Mayan civilization, known as the Classic period, extended from approximately A.D. 250 to at least 900.
For unknown reasons, the Classic Mayan civilization then collapsed. The population declined catastrophically to a fraction of its former size, and many of their great cities were left mostly abandoned for the jungle to reclaim.
Scientists have long drawn connections between the decline of the ancient Maya and environmental catastrophes, especially drought. Deforestation linked with farming could also have triggered disaster — for instance, reduced tree cover of the ground would have led to loss of fertile topsoil by erosion, as well as greater evaporation of water by sunlight, exacerbating drought.
However, while [...]
