They usually have one or two halfway normal people and a couple of complete wack jobs. The last one had a commune of hippies who actually had a pretty good set-up until the point of security came up. They said they would ‘invite the marauding bands in to eat’ and show them how nice they are so they wouldn’t want to attack them. ::facepalm::
Anyone that would be on that show is a FOOL! (they will be among the first to get routed when TSHTF)
It’s ok. Not as kooky as one would think although there are is the bozo who shoots off his thumb during filming, the dingbat liberals who think using their charm will save them from zombies and the gal who’s going to execute her cat. Try watching it for tips like preserving eggs.
Designed to make the right look like redneck idiots.
Allows you to be painted with the same brush, if you’ve got guns and some extra groceries.
Prepper?
Where I live the neighbors are the prep network. They have been supporting each other for well over 100 years.
Some of the same families still live here who settled here in the 1880’s.
No need to go anywhere. That seems very sane to me.
This show is making it easy for the DHS to identify potential “Domestic Terrorists”.
I keep hoping the most-preped guy in my neighborhood will be on the show. Save me a bunch of work when the SHTF.
This show is subterfuge - it is about exposing what a liberal would call a right wing nut.. I'm sure Janet Nazitano and her Gestapo goons are eager and will take notes.
When has something anyone in the film media ever done anything worthwhile for the conservative thinker? Especially the media of today, in ANY format?
Stay away from it.
I see very little tips - a lot of wacky people and a show more interesting than ‘Horders’(looks like they are going after that viewer audience)
A Sane Prepper would never go on this show.
I used to live in that county, and can attest that the rule of law is often of little consequence in parts of TN. That said, I suspect he is being a little overdramatic in that he has no recourse. I emailed him last week, explaining that I am a conservative lawyer who lives nearby, and would be willing to see what I could do, but I never heard back from him. Another article I read said that Gun Owners of America is taking on his case. While I don’t practice in mental health law, I suspect it takes more than just a doctor’s say-so to declare someone incompetent and confiscate their property and not even allow them to dispose of it the way they want. It is Wilson County, however...
As many have pointed out, the show seems designed to make preppers look crazy. Also, the producers go out of their way to show any religious symbols that are on the prepper’s person or in their home.
They talk about staying “under the radar’ or “off the grid”, then do a reality show? Now all the “threats” know who they are, where to find them and how they are armed. Bad guys (including their own government) can plan too, and are not always stupid.
