Here's another one of those "I-have-the-answer" investment options for doomsday and why we should all stop prepping now and buy a "lifeyacht."
It's pretty funny, even if he does raise some good talking points:
Prepping will only work in one scenario: the manipulators and parasites manage to destroy civilization to the point that you can count on being left alone for several generations. The more energetic Preppers are planning two strategies: Hunker Down, and Hope, with stocks of food, tools, seeds, and weapons, sometimes in a Hobbit Hole they’ve prepared somewhere.
Those strategies have a fatal flaw. “Fatal” means a flaw that will get you killed.
The fatal flaw in the Hunker Strategy is that it assumes that one might escape notice by the Forces of Evil long-term.
The fatal flaw in the Hope Strategy is that Hope is not a strategy.
There is always a fatal flaw, just as there are things that you can't prepare for. The Yellowstone Caldera blowing its top, a meteor strike, massive and final global nuclear warfare...
The point is that you should prepare for the things you can, and you can't afford to worry about the things that you can't. Otherwise, you will vibrate so fast that you won't ever move again...
Am I worried about the societal collapse, the Chinese coming in mass hordes to occupy American land and enslave Americans because our government offers us up as a trade for our massive owed debt to them, The Muslims instituting Sharia Law in every state and running down all of us unbelivers to our deaths, etc? Nope. Because quite frankly there isn't a dang thing I can do about it; no matter whom I vote for, s/he'll probably turn out to be a quisling who'll cave the first time a million or so is waved in their face, or they are promised to be 'saved' while everyone else is killed.
Not a danged thing can be done about any of it, natural or man-made. What I can do is build on what I know, improve my skillset, and have a wonderful and happy, productive and self-educating life, doing what I love and what makes me happy... and not subscribing to the latest investors' scam put out there to make money - for them.
Soooo ... in addition to dealing with roving bands of disenchanted Wall Street brokers armed with souped-up laser pointers, Men in Black chasing me in helicopters and disheveled groups of "It will never happen HERE"'s camping outside of my compound, NOW I have to worry about floating, sea-and-land-mobile, solar-powered Doomsday Christians running me over with their cement dinghies?!?
It's funny how the article said at the end "we're only accepting 4,000 applicants". Who wants to live on a boat moving place to place like a pirate or seaman? I rather have some roots and hold my ground. This parasite class is to small to fly over the whole US and monitor "hobbit holes". Our military and police belong to us, not them. Don't let anyone say otherwise, because it may seem true, but when the SHTF everyone will wake up and protect their own people, not the reptiles who have no loyalty or respect for human civilization. And don't let anyone knock your little house or air gun. You don't need state of the art equipment to survive, just skills.

That's not true. The people we want to have these can't afford to buy them anymore. The smallest one is $600K. Please re-read the recommendation at the end of the article, and review the actual benefits of Membership. I don't believe you understood our offer.
Sorry, can't do it. Bi... er, witches can't cross water...
LOL, that was a good one, especially since your fan club here is convinced you can WALK on water, no matter what your religion!
I got curious after reading about this doomsday loon, as survival forums feature many threads by sailboat owners who are convinced they have the ideal BOV with few energy costs to consider. You know, just go with the flow (of the wind) and go from port to port to utilize local resources.
So, if you're considering a "lifeyacht" of your own, check this out (from 2009):
It seems that the world has begun to awaken to the facts that: A) piracy still exists, and B) pirates are much more like muggers, carjackers and murderous thugs than they are like Johnny Depp.
Years ago, I read a great nonfiction account of a yachting couple who bought into the whole "tropical island" escape fantasy -- and who paid the ultimate price. It's a sobering cautionary tale:

That's not true at all.
