If you are a "doomsday prepper," the show has some pretty useful information, and if not, the show is still pretty entertaining. This is why I started to watch. I no longer do. I found nothing useful in any episode. And I am not entertained by lunatic fringe idiots who spend $300,000 to protect themselves against solar flares.

The AZ familys use of the pool is probably one of the most creative ones.It was neat but all I could think was that it was pretty stinky.

When the government is (quietly)buying up enough long term storage food to affect the market that tells you something too.

There is another show about bunkers and a bunker builder. Those are good too. As for the preppers show; some of them are doing what they can, others are clueless. The hippies they put one were doing good right up until the point they professed their trust in the goodness of their fellow man. The looniest was the girl in Houston who has a good size stash of stuff in her apartment, but her bugout plan involves walking out of Houston to the south.

Looks like just another facet of the mainstream medias Gee arent those Mormons weird? attack on Romney.Give it a rest.
Mormons are no longer any more of a target than African-Americans are...and have a whole lot less to justify any kind of inferiority complex.

But having lots of tilapia at your disposal? And knowing that it wasn’t raised in some third-world, contaminated, disease-infested fish farm? Gimme stinky any day :) !

Forget about the food shortages, just wait until they can’t get cell phone service!!!!!!!!!!!

Probably a good time to build a tornado shelter though. Even if stuff don’t hit the fan it’ll still make your family feel just a bit safer and secure. Good ole dad!

just wait until they cant get cell phone service! Oh boy. That's when the SHTF. Hordes of 18-25 year old females running around screaming incoherently as they wave their "Smart" phones in the air looking for service. No thanks.

There are networks of prepper groups springing up throughout the country. There are about 30 of us who meet here in Central Florida once a month to discuss prepping-related issues and gain new prepping knowledge.
Unlike the 'Doomsday Preppers' show every one in our group is concerned almost exclusively with economic collapse.

I can almost cast a line into a river from where I’m typing. All the fish I want and no stink from their walled in hot Arizona backyard. But you do what you need to do, I guess.

HOLY CRAP!
Did you come over on the Mayflower with JimRob?
;o)
To: Bloody Sam Roberts
It depends on the specific scenario, but it if the sh*t were to hit the fan in America but not Australia, you would most likely be safer in Australia, even without a gun.

We already have a very secure underground shelter/survival area, here on the farm. On the 2-3 occasions we’ve had to go there, the tornadoes missed the compound by 1+ miles, so we were fortunate.

I agree, however I am also concerned about pandemic.
I know you came over on the FR Mayflower so you probably remember the threads from Mother Abigail. We have been having an interesting thread about it on
THE COMING WAVE.
There is one thing I have noticed on the recent episodes. Originally they downplayed economic collapse. They have back away from that now.

What wont be used in an real emergency, can be used/re-used in otherwise *normal* times, if TSHTF doesnt come.
Agreed. I believe we will look back at these last couple of years with shock because we failed to see the collapse is already happening.
"Just in Time" material delivery got me thinking many years ago. That is when I began to prep.

Great minds... That’s *exactly* how I look at it, and *exactly* what I’ve done and why.

Ah, a river. I think my closest river is eight miles. I wish I knew how to fish.
