9:32 am
a whole apartment is talk. what do we do a for, to see about the animals that i liked? one candor and then another but then how do we cook office can log on and i can though we can use this 7 here. i think it gets really hot. dra robin and mikayla quiz their kids regularly. he's a 43 year old truck driver and she's at 37 year old kindergarten teacher. they also ensure their proper kid is up to date. you know, it's estimated that 20 percent of sweden's 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
9:33 am
cupboard in the kitchen, in time of crisis. i can, you know, be sure that we are safe or at least you know, a little bit more comfortable. and we don't need to drain resources from, you know, the larger site and community growth. they'll be taking care of other people like thick and elderly people are going to need more help. this brochure came out a couple of years ago. it says the if the crisis or the wars coming, every household got this. and basically it shows some scenarios there's about, you know, the sweetest defense system. and there's also these checklists for food, water heating that, that'll change. so now they want you to have more. so you can sustain yourself for a longer period of time. robin and mika, ala,
9:34 am
want to be prepared for the worst and make sure their children are to once or twice a month. the family set out to the forest. even when temperatures are below freezing, like on this day in early april. but robins, greatest fear isn't. russian boots on swedish soil. it's something more intangible than that which is facing if we made our society really vulnerable. the goal is to be the 1st society without any cash, which is kind of a weird thing that makes it really susceptible to any kind of favorite thing, you know, shut down electricity, shut down the power grid. if nuclear weapons go off,
9:35 am
it doesn't mean it doesn't really matter how much we're pretty. but anyway, at the beginning, mika ala thought, her partner's hobby was peculiar. but she's 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 again like when building a simple shelter. i think for this line further down, it's nice and taught and the wind will blow over the roof and not under it from your home. yeah. oh, did you pull tight? sees allison to sell you? not here that yet to deny canada we all talk about climate change has and global warming and war right now. i'm thinking it
9:36 am
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 is someone else who to take care of it. mm hm. 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. at high mean deck. well, i cut the wood into small pieces that makes it easier to start a fire. if you don't have an axe, you can take a piece of wood and hammered on your knife that will split it to that. ah,
9:37 am
you know also knows how to use a magnesium flint to start a fire without gas or lighter fluid. again, i got, i looked at him bleeding you know, takes her injury and stride. robin believes that these weakens in the woods at 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 hasn't 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, there's been mountain concerned over a russian invasion in sweden. stock home. a very special lesson is being taught at this school here to day on
9:38 am
a tele force from the swedish civil contingencies agency. m s. b is visiting obama, because 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 1 . the swedish island of got land lies in close proximity to the russian enclave of colleen and god. for 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 lunch. hope that will give them better access to capture the baltic states who both of these with the salt thing, some all thing chemical. do you think about that a lot, sat every day with dog and do you worry about rushing invasion, least of all of that other threats like climate change focus on instead of how do you weigh one against the airbag in it? hm. holy cow. back from am i on a tele force uses a quiz to introduce the students to various disaster situations. how can they
9:39 am
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 on the hall, phoenix bill, osha. sweden has been struggling with foreign espionage for years. he simply slot like from russia, for instance. dorothy, thank young. not mom brought them in logan some come insensitive information needs to be treated with care mouth, especially when sharing it with someone in the political sphere among all my son 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. it's 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 at anthony. the command. okay. excellent. excellent.
9:40 am
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 it's better to face emergencies as a united front. a if we happen to end up in a crisis and we already have a strong community and with a sense of cooperation, then that makes us much safer than we know that. okay, well this is where we start it's, it's already as safe space. but if we are only individuals and we fear each other, because that's what we have we, we've heard or we've read or seen on, on the tv shows like everybody is the other person's enemy. and then i might be
9:41 am
afraid of my neighbors. instead of working together with my neighbors, some of the course participants know very little about prepping, they've only ever banded together before to fight rent hikes in the neighbourhood window. but today they're learning that cans aren't only useful for storing food, but also for cooking it with that they like that a good with this is my 1st time and i'm not very good with those. so i don't know with so on the island. yeah. darwin and tish been are
9:42 am
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. y'all, i'm in compas you for all the throne. when you say would like be one of the most important things. there is a fight, there is war. you had bullets flying than you are you stress, then you can think properly, then you do something dumb and you get kill it 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, bad decisions your chances of survival becomes fluid. so how did you handle stress? now if i if a similar situation would happen, it's like i'm mentally prepared because for example, i train a lot, you know,
9:43 am
i do call showers and i do training the gym and this is all stress, you know, then you get used to so it's very important you prepare 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 let you say we're talking about, for example, the internet and you cannot trust, maybe everything, all the information that you get, and how to, how to navigate that information. that is very important to have 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 said were worse than me. oh,
9:44 am
the swedish civil contingencies agency, m s. b, responsible for helping the population to prepare for conflict and crises. on a tele, fourish manages communications. today she's meeting martin a youtube or a blogger, and proper. together they plan to create an educational video on stock homes. bunkers on dash kin beck 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 moment's notice that coma with the highest vag michael mer in. you can access the bunker through here. only these days take you directly to the main train station
9:45 am
will appear since the railings are color coded. mccarthy will each will take you to a different floor of the bunker. them on the computer. you simply have to follow the color you have been assigned, like i want to strong for them. falls who fiano? eskimiya has 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 the higher in the front office gab insulin. would you say this bunker is operational groups from your 2 tulsa, for 3 of those it's opperation all and ready for use. we have an ethical attraction system here that we service on a regular basis and everything's in good condition. we also have further investment plan for the near future, but i can't disclose any details on that because with this type of shelter is
9:46 am
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 48 hours. it can be here for water supply for 3 days. and we have electrical supplies for i think it's 30 days and air for as long as we meet. so, and it's 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 check 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 reassuring message that hey, take the charity now. as nasa said, take
9:47 am
a step back plan if this really coming or if it's 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. it's unknown how many of them are ready for use? the shelter in my teens, apartment building and northern stock home is on his website. the 50 year old iter 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. can start not feeling well. if you, if you think about it too much, because tenure you, you have. you could become one of those crazy preparation. i don't trust anyone at
9:48 am
all when you're entering, prepping and you start the interest. 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 and 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 didn't have all these stuff, i would be that panicking and then i would feel fear. i think
9:49 am
in case of a black out martin, make sure to always have enough water and supply 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 album dental. perfect. so to know, he fam said later in order to preserve food for longer, if it doesn't, machin bought a de hydrate or as it relates to any of the lemons are ready to say your civic center of hipaa. oh ok,
9:50 am
we'll 8 joe and here are crispy scrambled eggs. well try them, hoard now they're crunchy honda and they taste salty. i'm miss morgan, but they still taste like eggs and put them in water and they're back to as they were and ships why i'm 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 don't know. but for lemon. yeah, we might see a shortage of lemon. depends on the situation because sweet and it's 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 sweden's home guard are rehearsing for
9:51 am
a military emergency. no on. and you want gloves? no, we'll warm up as soon as we get started. all right, full out, let's 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 carl gustaf, a swedish anti tank weapon, and live ammunition. carl gustavo are also being used in ukraine's fight against russia. no one here seems to have any hesitation about handling heavy artillery. when i didn't have met from the service i was the younger it was, i think it was like that a rule, but every guy did it and everybody did it. so i also did it and
9:52 am
i learned a part of myself doing it kind of growed up during my national service. and from then i just keep working in construction, but i always look back of it. so now here again, i have no problem with the doing though, what i have to do if it comes to real like it's 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 there you have to stand up for them. and if i only enjoy the freedoms, but don't stand up for them that are not worth much. the volunteers take part in exercises several times
9:53 am
a year. this 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 candidate for more weapons means that if we'd be more risk of some mistakes, that piece is of course, the most well, the best thing weapon is not bringing piece
9:54 am
weapon have a purpose and of course, if you can, the purpose of the weapon the, to be put this situation and no one dares to trap to, there will always be someone would more than that them. so decrease the weapon. it's 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 nation's gdp. robin also trains with the home guard. but he doesn't want to be filmed holding a weapon in the . instead, we model him to another course offered by tab tuscan. the topic today is 1st day,
9:55 am
useful knowledge. not only in times of war. push to says he witnessed a deadly altercation just days ago and scarred nick. right before the social workers eyes, a teenager was gone down with 3 shots to the head. i tried to do what i called 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 you're living in a really hard word, negative tick, apply pressure like this, hold it suddenly until paramedics arrived, or until you find a bandage, whether gang violence looming more, the cobit 19 pandemic, or natural disaster pamplet could 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. it's the same when
9:56 am
it's a war, it's really abstract and huge for climate catastrophe. we can start growing our food, we need to plant more trees for them because they will be more flooding because of the time of worrying firing each other's. it can have a bigger effect back to the stock home city center. martin and maximilian are scoping out possible escape routes in the event of war march, and believes the capital would descend into chaos as residents 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 we're just observing
9:57 am
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't drive in a normal situation. so there's the crisis. they most certainly won't 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 small, crowded places. whatever comes marching is ready. he's and he says is simple. by joining nato goal is to make swedish people on shore and, you know, turn against the other, not trust the government. so we lower our morale and become an easy target. i mean, nathan security kind of insurance group. so that's
9:58 am
a huge strength for freedom because we are in a severe situation being squashed between may through countries and we have russia so close. my mission with prepping is just to, to make sure that my family can live a normal life. whatever happens well with they only thing war, you can either have a normal life but, but you can have resources that make you. but so you can actually drink, have the water, you can still eat, and you're not so happy. you're not starving. and it looks like martin's wish will come true. sweden is now in the process of becoming a nato member blue
9:59 am
