Watching Doomsday Preppers to learn how to be prepared is like watching Die Hard to learn how to shoot.
Anyone truly interested in learning survival and self-reliance skills would be much better served by buying a subscription to Backwoods Home Magazine. |

Quote HistoryHow so? For myself, after going through Hurricane Sandy I am a full believer in being prepared and self reliant as much as possible. We are in eastern PA, and got our asses handed to us by that storm. 4 weeks of no power in my area. I was always set-up to last a couple of weeks of living off the grid, but that storm made me escalate my preps. |

The wife & I watched it every week back in 2012 when doomsday prophecies were in style but not so much anymore. We did learn some tips in it. I think the most important one is having a plan that involves family instead of friends.

Just like every interest out there, some take it a little TOO far. That being said, there are posters who have a vast amount of knowledge and love to share it. It's a great resource. |

The show has asked some you tube prepper guys, the sane ones basically say no.
Yankee prepper, who to chase away the crazy has changed his foucs of his channel a little bit to get rid of them Brooklyn Prepper Southern Prepper 1 LDS prepper Have all been asked I believe and all said no thanks. I think they offer 3000 dollars. The huge fat guy desarti is on you tube as well and he took the money...He also a real dumb ass. He hard to listen to since he so inarticulate. NYWy, I saw the show early on but....it not too useful. they do their best to portray the people as stupid or crazy etc... |

I believe a lot of what you see has been staged for dramatic effect. I recall the family in Alaska who was demonstrating some Rube Goldberg tactic for blocking a riverway by shooting a tree strapped with a belt of Tannerite from a boat a couple hundred yards away. The idea being that they would wrap a few strategically located trees along the water with these belts of Tannerite and then when it was time to bug-out they could blow them with the rifle to prevent others from following them
Frankly, keeping a chainsaw handy in the bug-out boat would make a lot more sense, be more reliable and much more versatile.

Why start another thread about this show when there are already a ton of them?
What's the point of paying for a search function if you aren't capable of using it and always duping threads?
