| I was watching Doomsday Preppers earlier. Jack Jobe was my Teacher 8 years ago in real estate school. I thought it was weird that I recognized the name, but not the face. Then he mentioned his wife Jackie. I was like now wait a minute. Then she appeared and was black. I knew it was him and then he mentioned he lost 90 lbs. Anyway he has multiple knives hidden around the house, practices with a slingshot, but at least has a 12 gauge. Pretty funny stuff. |

I thought maybe you knew the guy who shot his thumb off. According to him, his revolver malfunctioned, causing his thumb to be in front of the barrel when he pulled the trigger. 
Tell me you guys saw that? I laughed my ass off. It was especially funny when he passed out. |

The Jobe guy seems to think his 8 knives is better than 1 gun, I thought but 8 guns is better than 8 knives.
The lady before him was great she kept showing where she hides everything then she states about her "secret hiding place" in the ceiling that only she knows about, and now everyone that watch the show knows about too. |

Yeah some of those individuals are seriously . They need to prep more tinfoil. I liked the first few episodes but it keeps getting weirder. especially a few weeks ago there was the one guy who was worried abut radiation had a ton of seeds and wanted to live in a tent in his lawn. I'm all about a little prepping but the producers have found some really strange individuals.

"I've got this bunker filled with enough supplies for a year, enough guns and ammo to arm a small military force, and a 4x4 BOV ready to roll. What do you have?" "Welp, I've got a couple knives, a slingshot and a 12ga. I'm ready for the apocalypse." |

I wish they'd get a multi-millionaire prepper on the show. Unfortunately for us, that kind of prepper tends to both be intelligent and doesn't need the appearance fee like the toothless bumpkins/attention whores on display.
Wouldn't you like to see a concrete basement/bunker with a reloading room, walk-in gun safe/food storage, and an apartment (kitchen, bathroom, living area with big screen TV) with a propane-fired backup generator? I have, and it's awesome beyond words. I guess that's not as entertaining as some dude shooting a .22 at his CONEX home and a yard full of rusting cars on blocks. |
| I was watching a tool show on DIY network and they showed off the shovel with all the attachments it has. Then that night the inventor was on Doomsday Preppers using it to chop up a pig. DIY didn't show it used for that! At least he's smart enough to market his shit. |

I'm all about a little prepping but the producers have found some really strange individuals. Of course they do. Wouldn't be entertaining to follow around the average prepper. And from what one girl who was on that show, the production crew tries to talk them into doing stuff that is outside their norms. Also, creative editing. |

Arfcom should offer up a Lifetime membership for the first member to get on the show and carefully place the Arf logo on tv. I thought about trolling the show by telling them I'm some super paranoid prepper and making some crappy tree fort in the woods as my 'base'. Then hiding and wearing all the stuff GD loves like BFL gear, draw a dillo tramp stamp on myself, using quotes like "I got both" "I have 87 yards of sight from this place" ect.. Chances are no one that makes the show would catch any of it

The hippy guy in Kansas, looks just like the guy that was running a web site that sold old missile silos, the seed guy probably deals in rare seeds, other guy in Kansas selling his Doomsday Condos, and the guy in Colorado sells shelters. It’s free publicity for there business. I highly doubt most of them give the real reason they are prepping. |

Quoted: I cannot watch that show. It is seriously full of WTF. I think their agenda is to paint those that Prep with a slight crazy brush. They want to both appeal to those interested in the subject, and mildly curious, but at the same time send the message that all is well, and these "types" are just curiosities. (After 23 years on "Wall Street" the near miss we experienced back in 08' has made me a prepper....if more people understood their monetary system, economics, and the financial markets they would have freaked out. We came within hours of a financial tipping point...there will be a reset. I honestly remember thinking that only the ignorance of the mob, and their naive belief in the system, saved us.)
