Doomsday Preppers (”DP”) since its inception has been nothing more than propaganda, and pablum for the low-information masses.
They deliberately select the most wild-eyed tinfoil-hat conspiracy nutjobs and offer them up to the low-info’s for their freak-show value. It reinforces the meme of the “crazy-wingnut-knucledragging-teabagger” that the Left has successfully established.
Case in point, the demographics: the “preppers” are overwhelmingly Causacian male veterans: the main three groups that the Left has vilified since the regime took power five years ago. The number of non-Caucasians I have seen on that program, I can count on three fingers.
From a prepper perspective, The Bride and I point and laugh at the very notion of letting media types see the layout of your disaster preps. Occasionally we might see a bright idea, but mostly DP is an example of WHAT NOT TO DO.
What are the first two rules of Prep Club?
Never talk about Prep Club.
Never talk about Prep Club.
And the third rule:
The first time you come to Prep Club, you HAVE to Prep.
An urban fireman doesn’t have room to store his supplies in his apartment so he has them in a storage locker a few blocks away. He’s got to go to the locker to get supplies, then return home with supplies leaving the locker unguarded.
My advice to him is to make rural friends that he can trust.
I stopped watching after season one!
