On TV: Doomsday Preppers TV Series
Survival and Prosperity ^ | 2/8/12

Posted on 02/09/2012 6:14:49 PM PST by Kartographer

The first two episodes of the new series were broadcast Tuesday night, and a total of seven “prepper” individuals/groups were assessed, including (in order of appearance):

Paul and Gloria Range, the “Retiree Preppers,” outside of Floresville, Texas “We’re preparing for a polar shift that will cause a sudden climate change and change life as we know it forever.”

Christopher Nyerges, the “Street Survivor,” Los Angeles, California “I’m prepping for a killer earthquake that could completely flatten the city of L.A.”

Megan Hurwitt, the “Young Urban Prepper,” Houston, Texas “I’m prepping to survive a catastrophic oil crisis.”

David Sarti, the “Hillbilly Prepper,” outside of Nashville, Tennessee “I’m prepping to survive an EMP detonation that will wipe out our nation’s transportation system.”

Kellene (and Scott) Bishop, the “Gourmet Prepper,” Orem, Utah “I’m prepping for a collapse of our financial system that will mean the end of the world as we know it.”

Kathy (and Bruce) Harrison, the “Doris Day of Doom,” somewhere in New England “I’m preparing for a black swan event like a catastrophic New Madrid earthquake.”

Dennis Evers, the “Godfather Prepper,” rural Colorado “I’m prepping to protect my family against global chaos caused by hyperinflation.”

Watching these first two episodes of the new television series, I thought back to something I wrote last year regarding the 2011 pilot:

What was the deal with the cat, I didn’t watch the show.

I didn't catch the show, but the trailer for the show has Megan holding a cat with her finger pointing at its head giving the impression she would shoot it if she had to for survival.

This is an interview with Megan where she talks about the Nat Geo offer.

I just relooked at that URL. Apparently the $1,000 offer has been redacted.

Dontcha just love technology?

There is, however, a reference to the offer in the comment section that follows, so I know I read it. Otherwise I might have thought I dreamed it.

Cat didn’t look too tasty in The Book of Eli, I’ll focus on my beans and rice I think.

Any doctor can do the same to any one of us, regardless of whether we’ve ever been on TV.

Too true. Far too true.
