Doomsday Preppers

America will never collapse or be invaded. We're the perfect country and we're eternal.

On a side note: NatGeo claims "The average person uses 57 sheets of toilet paper per day"

Does that count 2 or 3 ply?

Yeah I saw it, loved the lady who is so paranoid about letting people know she has food that it has to be delivered in the middle of the night. Then goes on a natgeo documentary with her full name so anyone can find her. I believe she used the term OpSec. . . which she clearly does not understand.

I just ordered a crapload more of storable food.

Anyone watching it on NatGeo? I almost feel like these people are short on tin foil.

Watched it. Don't agree about the tin foil though.

All 4 seemed to be reasonable people and came across that way to me. The only one's who even remotely seemed a bit out there were the engineer and ex soldier.

All in all I'd say they're concerned about the future, financial collapse mostly and the potential ramifications. They all places a higher chance of it happening than most. If they're right they've increased the odds of them and theirs surviving and those of us who poo poo the whole idea will be frantically trying to make do the best we can. If they're wrong no harm, no foul and they just won't have to buy groceries for a while.

Not tin foil - over cautious - maybe but not tin foil worthy at all IMO.

For those of you who are interested ...

Two of the guys featured have YouTube channels ...

Also, the folks growing tilapia in a swimming pool are here: http://gardenpool.org/

Pretty interesting stuff.

And Werewolf is right ... you don't have to snort the tin foil to know you need to plan ahead ... the folks I know do so to prepare for events most of us have encountered in life already ... tornados, loss of power from ice storms, unexpected illness, job loss ... and the list could go on and on. There will always be those who take it to extremes -- Mr. Rawles, et al. wears me thin -- but I'd rather have and not ever need than need and not have ... especially groceries ...

Combat multipliers.....ha ha

These people are just praying something bad will happen to give meaning to their fairly pathetic lives...

Watched it--enjoyed it; while I don't subscribe to all their so-called paranoia, I do think they have some ideas worth pursuing.

The guys with the farm must have read Patriots: A Novel of Survival in the Coming Collapse and took it to heart.
