A Doomsday prepper has shared survival tips for World War III — including having a 90-day food supply and investing in communication gear.
Derrick James, 50, who hails from rural Maine, started building his food stockpile and making emergency plans for natural disasters and war in 2007.
The content creator claims current tensions between the US and Iran will inspire others to start prepping.
“Every event that we have lived through — whether it is Covid, the Iraq war or hurricanes — brings in a new wave of preppers,” he told Southwest News Service. “My advice is to take a deep breath, come up with a plan that you can stick to, and don’t stress yourself out.”

“[However] We are living in a fragile society and things could unravel very quickly,” he ominously added.
James believes global supply chains will collapse quickly in a war, especially if trade routes close, and suggests people should stock up on foods like rice, beans, wheat berries, canned meats and ready-to-eat meals.
“A lot of preppers will suggest starting with water and say you can live three months without food, but three days without water, which is true, but anytime you get a food crisis, food is harder to come by,” James explained. “If you have food for 30 to 90 days, you can weather any storm that comes your way.”
James says it is imperative to invest in communication gear, to make sure you can keep up to date with the latest news alerts and instructions from the government. He says investing in hand-cranked radios, ham radios, and walkie-talkies is a must, as cell towers and the internet could go down.
The prepper proclaims that it’s also important to make sure your passport and other documentation are up to date. James told Southwest News Service that if you ever need to flee, you need to make sure that all your paperwork is in order before embassies shut down.

“You need to protect your finances and make sure you have cash on hand,” he implored. “You need to diversify into things like silver, gold, and even crypto can be good if it is stored offline.”

“More people are pursuing a second passport if it is available to them, a lot of countries now offer them in terms of heritage,” he stated. “This won’t be an option for some people, but it is a growing topic in the prepping community. I’m in Maine, if something happens I’m closer to Canada, it would be faster to go to Canada than to get to any other state.”
The final tip from James is to make sure you have a stash of cash to use. In a crisis, some banks may close and limit access to your accounts.
“You need to protect your finances and make sure you have cash on hand,” he implored. “You need to diversify into things like silver, gold, and even crypto can be good if it is stored offline.”
“If another country is part of your plan B, make sure you have currencies in those countries,” James added. “A global war could mean that banks freeze, and ATMs go dark, and the dollar collapses.”
