No. Its estimated that 20 percent of swedens population makes these types of preparations. Every suite is supposed to be able to take care of themselves for a few days without having to go to the shop or the store for any reason. So we have decided to store some food and supplies elsewhere than in the normal cupboard, cupboard in the kitchen. In time of a crisis. I can, you know, be sure that were safe or at least, you know, a little bit more comfortable. And we dont need to drain resources from, you know, the larger site and community because theyll be taking care of other people, like thick and elderly. People are going to need more help.

Robin and mika, ala, want to be prepared for the worst and make sure their children are 2 once or twice a month. The family sets out to the forest, even when temperatures are below freezing, like on this day in early april. But robins, greatest fear isnt. Russian boots on swedish soil. Its something more intangible than that. What it is facing is we made our society really vulnerable. The goal is to be the 1st Society Without any cash, which is kind of a weird thing because that makes the really set the bill to any kind of fiber, shut down electricity, shut down the power grid. If Nuclear Weapons go off, it doesnt mean it doesnt really matter how much were pretty much. Anyway. At the beginning, mika, ala thought, her partners hobby was peculiar. But she since been convinced of its importance for practicing outdoor survival skills, is also meant to teach 12 year old, you know, and 5 year old lou vag, about perseverance and working together. Like when building a simple shelter. I think for you until this line sat down and its nice and talking and the wind would blow over the roof and not under it from your hold. Yes, ill hold and youll pull tight. See that we think are you not here yet . Did inactive though . We all talk about Climate Change has and Global Warming and war right now. Im thinking it a bit further, maybe just not talking about the problem or more like talking about the solution or how to handle it instead of just except thing that there if someone else should take care of it. When you know, turned for her father gifted her a sharp knife, they practice with it. Often, her Survival Training has already come in handy when she and her friends got lost in the forest a few years back. You know, instructed the children to use their bodies to spell the letters s o s in a clearing the search party quickly located them.

Again, i got a looked at him bleeding you know, takes her injury and stride. Robin believes that these weakens in the woods, have made his daughter tougher. After their meal, the training ends for the day and the family returns home. While sweden has taken part in peacekeeping missions, the country hasnt formerly gone to war for over 200 years. For a long time, the country pursuit of Foreign Policy of neutrality, and then one of military non alignment. But the situation is changing rapidly. Ever since russia illegally annexed the Crimean Peninsula in 2014, theres been mounting concerned over a russian invasion in sweden. Stock home. A very special lesson is being taught at this school here to day. On a tele force, from the swedish civil contingencies agency, m. S. B is visiting by ha ha, the risk manager is often invited to schools to teach youth about how to behave during a crisis, or the demand for this curriculum has increased significantly since late february. The swedish island of got land lies in close proximity to the russian enclave of colleen and garad. 4 years russian, drones and Surveillance Aircraft had been circling over the island, violating swedish airspace. Oh, except for sure they could try to occupy got land. That would give them better access to capture the Baltic States who both of these so thing, some all thing chemical. Do you think that that a lot sat every day with dog and do you worry about russian invasion, least of all of that. Other threats, like Climate Change, focus on that. So how do you weigh one against the airbag in it . Im holy cow. Im on a tele fourish. Uses a quiz to introduce the students to various disaster situations. How can they protect themselves and others in the case of war . What about a fire flooding or blackouts . One scenario in particular dominates the group session, the perceived threat by russia ah, the harpoon expulsion, sweden has been struggling with Foreign Espionage for years. Temporary slot, like from russia, for instance. Dorothy, thank you. Not mom brought them in logan some come Sensitive Information needs to be treated with care mouth, especially when sharing it with someone in the political sphere among almost some there. Even if you think, you know the person, you need to be cautious with them from home. So most men, altima electric, the really for me and inland is under an even greater threat. Its much closer to russia. I have relatives in finland. We all worry about them. My mother, especially war is much more likely to break out laughing. Mamma is that and im the comment on okay, excellent. Excellent. Mm. Mm. A few kilometers away in the suburb of scarp neck robin has joined a group of peppers, social education, work repair. Plesco came up with the concept. I mean, he wants to show sports clubs and neighborhood communities that its better to face emergencies as a united front i, if we happen to end up in a crisis and we already have a Strong Community and with a sense of corporation. And then that makes us much safer than we know that, okay, well this is where we start its, its already as safe space. But if we are only individuals and we fear each other, because thats what we have we, weve heard or weve read or seen on, on the tv shows like everybody is the other persons enemy. And then i might be afraid of my neighbors. Instead of working together with my neighbors, some of the course participants know very little about prepping, theyve only ever banded together before to fight rent hikes in the neighbourhood to bundle. But today theyre learning that cans arent only useful for storing food, but also for cooking. It that i did that with this is my 1st time and im not very good with it. So i dont know if its gone. So on the island. Yeah. Darwin and tish been are both kurdish, some people as teenagers, they fled from the so called Islamic State terrorist group in iraq. With all a pair plush got invited them to share their experience of what it was like to fight for survival during war time. Yall, im incompetent for that. What would you say would like be one of the most important thinks . There is a fight. That is war. You had bullets flying, the new you stress, then you can think properly, then you do something done when you get killed. Its because not because it was difficult, like physically you could, you could survive but then because you are stressed, you make bad decisions. Any bad leg, but decisions your chances of survival becomes fluid. So how did you handle stress . Now if i if assuming this situation would happen, its like im mentally prepared because for example, i train a lot, you know, i do call showers and i do training the gym. This is all stress, you know, then you get used to stress. So its very important you prepare your, your, your body that i like if you have a good condition, it helps a lot of the people here are curious to learn more interesting how you, how you, key for in a crisis and that you were talking about for example, the internet, and you can trust, maybe everything, all the information that you get and how to, how to navigate that information that its very important to have some good sources and ask a lot of people i think to get to have this information and knowledge is because to be prepaid and is to think about these things because good up and like we see worse than me. Oh, the swedish civil contingencies agency, m s. B is responsible for helping the population prepare for conflict and crises on a tele force. Manage is communications. Today shes meeting Martin A Youtube or a blogger, and proper. Together they plan to create an educational video on stock homes bunkers on dash kin back. And emily norion collin stole are from the property management. They lead a tour through an underground parking garage that doubles as a bunker. In case of an emergency, these massive steel doors can be shut at a moments notice that coma griffith the highest of ag michael mer in. You can access the bunker through here. Only these days take you directly to the main train station. Yes. And the railings are color coded. My coffee will each will take you to a different floor of the bunker among the company. You simply have to follow the color youve been assigned. Like have one is strong for them all to see all know eskimiya. Ive given you this vast bunker is one of 2000 that stockholm has been constructing since the 1930s many more were built during the cold war. Amidst fears of nuclear fallout. The higher in the front office gab in silica, would you say this bunker is operational groups from your 2 tulsa . For 3 of those, its opperation and ready for use. We have an actual attraction system here that we service on a regular basis. And everythings in good condition. We also have further Investment Plan for the near future. But i cant disclose any details on that. And all of those were this type of shelter is for a 1000 people. So you have to make it very decent time before things really happen. But when, or if you need it clear, then you should be done in 4 days hours. It can be here for water supply for 3 days, and we have Electrical Supplies for i think its 30 days and air for as long as we meet so, and its in good shape as a proper and youtube are marching, is filming the bunker for his community. Especially if you go into the internet and tech facebook, people are afraid can see that from the the questions they answer, the focus of shelters medicine. You take against radiation, we need to meet them with, with if, reassuring message that have take up a charity. Now, as i said, take a step back plan if this really coming or if its something that just scared throughout the cold war, every suite had the right to a spot in a bunker in stock home alone. There are thousands of private shelters in residential basements. Its unknown how many of them are ready for use . The shelter and martinez, Apartment Building and northern stock home is on his website, the 50 year old. It specialist highlights durable radios and long lasting power banks. He also posts videos of himself, testing out heat lamps to see if they can keep him warm and sub 0 temperatures. And he manages discussions with his nearly 1000 and followers on who is behind all these crises. It can be quite stressful, just thought, not feeling well. If you, if you think about it too much, because then you, you, you have, you could become one of those crazy preparation. I dont trust anyone at all when youre entering, prepping and you start the interests. You can go down a dark path by reading too much as well. And then you can go into conspiracy, fear, conspiracy theories and stuff like that. Which yes, we should always compare information from all sides. Recently his grandmother passed away. He uses her old apartment to store his gear and non perishable foods. In the past years, martine has invested several 1000 euros in prepping, having the stuff, and having a buffer of money, and having a buffer of food actually gives me time to adjust to a new situation. Where if i didnt have all these stuff, i would be that panicking and then i would feel fear. I think in case of a black out martin, make sure to always have enough water in supply. I dont channels with them. Oh. His son maximilian helps his father prep. This bag is made out of metalized p e t foil, which is considered to be especially durable and tear resistant el dablin. Okay. So to know e f m c later in order to preserve food for longer, if its only marching, bought a de hydrate or as it relates to any of the lemons are ready for silly cana of hipaa. Oh okay. In a row and here a crispy scrambled eggs. Well, try them horn now theyre crunchy hm. Yeah. And they taste salty. M. Miss market, but they still taste like eggs and put them in water and theyre back to as they were like and ships why im doing this. This is a good way of preserving ordinary food to last a very long time. And i preparing for a crisis that will last for longer than the year. I dont know. But for lemon. Yeah, we might see a shortage of lemon. Depends on the situation because sweet and its not the best company for growing them. Oh, martin mostly worries about supply shortages and the effects of Russian Energy embargo. Meanwhile, some 50 kilometers north, east of stock on members from swedens home guard are rehearsing for a military emergency on gloves coming to know will warm up as soon as we get started. Alright, full out, lets go. The mood here is laid back. All here are volunteers. The home guard is a unit within the Swedish Armed forces with the core mission of protecting swedish territory and providing support in times of crisis. Today 70 men are training with the car august off, a swedish anti tank weapon, and live ammunition. Carl gustavo are also being used in ukraines fight against russia. No one here seems to have any hesitation about handling heavy artillery. When i didnt met him in the service, i was younger, it was, i think it was like that a ruble, but every guy did it and everybody did it. So i also did it and i learned a part of myself doing. It kinda growed up during my National Service and from then just kept working in construction. But i always look back a bit. So now here again, i have no problem with the doing though. What i have to do if it comes to real, like its been in ukraine, what the ukrainians are doing for their country. And i will do the same for my country and why . Because i enjoy all the freedoms and i really think that you have to stand up for them. And if i only enjoy the freedoms, but dont stand up for them, theyre not worth much. The volunteers take part in exercises several times a year. The state compensates each day of last earnings with 80 percent of their net income. In return, the home guard members commit to serve in the event of war. Some 20000 are standing by, in addition to nearly 30000 conscripts professional soldiers and officers. Officer johan, meeting b, teaches civilians how to use anti tank weaponry. Ever since russia attacked ukraine, some 25000 volunteers have signed up for the home guard. That was more than the home guard had in members. At that point. We are prepared, we will do everything that we can to protect. Our democratic more weapons means that if wed be more risk of some mistakes, that piece is, of course, the most well, the best thing weapon is not bringing piece weapon have a purpose. And of course, if you can, the purpose of the weapon, the, to the situation and no one dares to rep to, there will always be found. What would more than that them. So decrease the weapon. Its of course, a better solution in the long term. But currently in sweden, all signed point towards more weapons. By 2028, the government wants to increase its defense spending to 2 percent of the nations gdp. Robyn also trains with the home guard, but he doesnt want to be filmed holding a weapon. News instead, we marlow him to another course offered by tab tuscan. The topic today is 1st day, useful knowledge. Not only in times of war. Push to says he witnessed a deadly altercation just days ago and scarp neck right before the social workers eyes. A teenager was gone down with 3 shots to the head. I tried to do what i tell until the police and ambulances arrived in this person. He was already been. So after that, we had this works up because we were thinking that youre living in a really hard word to apply for should like to hold it firmly until paramedics arrived. Or until you find a bandage, whether Gang Violence looming war, the coven, 1900. Pandemic or Natural Disaster pair push tries to meet any crisis with establishing a sense of community politicians they might talk about. We need to do this on a big while. I work here on the local level and by doing that and setting an example, other people can do that as well and inspire me and vice versa. Its the same when its a war, its really abstract and huge for climate catastrophe can start growing our food. We need to plan more trees because they will be more flooding because of the time of worrying firing each others. It can have a bigger effect back to the stock home city center. Martina maximilian are scoping out possible escape routes in the event of war. Marching believes the capital would descend into chaos as residence attempted to flee. Stock home spans 14 islands that are connected by more than 50 bridges. But only 8 of these bridges lead out of the city center. Father and son are looking for the best route to head south where they could stay with relatives in an emergency. So were just absorbing, smaller bridges instead of this really big bridge, because if something happens, i mean bridges are always targets for military action. And we also see that people can drive in a normal situation. So theres the crisis. They most certainly wont be able to drive. Good, good way to be like picking the boat out, but not many people have access to vote because everyone lives in a small crowd. The whatever comes marching is ready. Hes long thought of russia as a threat, whether through cyber attacks, its influence on election campaigns or contracted killings. The best way for his country to prep, he says, is simple. By joining nato goal is to make swedish people unsure. And you know, turn against each other, not trust the government. So we lower our morale and become is the target. I mean, nathan security insurance group. So thats a huge strength for them because we are in a severe situation being squashed between may 2 countries. And we have russia so close. My mission with prepping is just to make sure that my family can live a normal life. Whatever happens, well, where they only thing war, you can either have a normal life. But, but you can have resources that make you. So you can actually drink, have the water, you can still eat, and youre not youre not starving. And it looks like martins wish will come. True. Sweden is now in the process of becoming a nato member co moist. How can this passionate hatred of the people be explained to you . Oh, go upon, go. A history of anti semitism is a history of stigmatization and exclusion of religious and political power struggles in the christian christianity wants to come for. That is why christianity use the figure of the gym as a deterrent. Its a history of slender, of hatred and violence. A 3rd of our people were exterminated 6000000. 00 jews, like microbes to be annihilated even 77 years after the holocaust hatred towards jews is still pervasive. History of anti semitism this week on d. W with ah, this week on world stories, rebels ravaged cities in ethiopia
