Good review and I had the same reaction. The lone prepper in the bunker just seemed silly to me. Even without the goof-ball kid who caused some problems, the guy by himself with his wife and daughter seems like a recipe for getting killed in a SHTF scenario.
He should have been promoting community as you describe. My little rural town (I was born in 70, so had to look up Celia) was close-knit growing up, but now I go into town and don’t run into anyone I know. And we’ve lived here since I was born.
I’m working more on the community and skills preparation side of things rather than stockpiling food.
I recorded it to DVD and watched it again tonight.
Yes, the lone prepper made mistakes.
But there’s one thing - fer sure - you can bet your life on!
He and his family lived a week more than your average person.
