Doomsday Preppers Part Deux

[610Alpha]

Anyone notice the submissive hubby punching the bag/dummy? Any comments on that? ;)

Hmmm...seemed like he was taking out some aggression or years of pent up uhm frustration of being dominated.

What did NATGEO do, just surf you tube and the forums to find these folks?

yip.

they had smaller forums that some of these pogues hang on flood their IM/PM boxes with " come try out.." with the cavet of " mystery show) so word wouldnt get around who it was just a "major TV show".
there was threads " wow did you try out..i sent my vid....."



Nat geo. tossed out a big net,,,,caught a few limit sized fish and a bunch of finglerings........but they decided to keep them all.....bad conservation/harvesting practice's if you ask me LOL





looking back i should have tried out....coulda laid down some good smoke/pys Ops on my end of things and played with them and then make millions off selling the protus prep handbook or some junk.....

[Lowdown3]

LMAO!!!

Their is enough "good" info on there like Dsarti with his handwarmers.... Nothing like taking long term advice from someone without any real long term experience. I posted previously about the real danger here of new people seeing crap like that and thinking it's good to go info....... sigh

I cannot believe they did not show the "mis fire" aka AD with the guy blowing his thumb off. Like most on there, he was portraying a smug attitude (fake confidence) that did NOT match his skill level or experience. The EMT should have assumed he would go into shock- people tend to do that during stuff like that you know... LOL

Older Christian guy from the south. Started off with a modicum of OPSEC than blew it. Lots of psy ops/false trails laid there for NatGeo /those viewing.

Still can't understand the "I have sixty guns but no real defense plan or training" mindset. Yes, it isn't the end of the world if you sell a gun of yours to pay for training, other defensive upgrades etc.

Trying to positive, but honestly, a resupply point for BG's....

BS was decent in the food store- "we are making candy" but once he hit the liquor store it was "we are preparing to barter with this." Equals- afraid to break social norms and be the baptist seen at the liquor store. A 20 minute drive to the next town over could have made that liquor store trip less intrusive.

And folks, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, if you are going to go to all this trouble to be on a show like this, do not make bogus molotovs on the show- EXPENSIVE molotovs using vodka I might add.

I got to see part of this week's episode, and part of the other episode.
Didn't see the thumb get blow'd off, but did see the New York guy huff it in his air gear.

I still think this is an interesting series, and I like the discussions so far.
I think it's interesting to see how some of them make it a point to practice.
I'm still waiting for someone to break out the Henrian Tripod

No she was kicking her submissive hubbies A. Interesting little section for those that don't recognize the "Jezebel spirit" I often talk about. My wife pointed out several times that the big gal on TV (Bishop?) was noticably perturbed because the husband even SPOKE when she was going to, how she made it a point to be the one in control, in charge, etc. Often this is the case when the gal is overbearing like that and the big bread winner in the house. It didn't say what HE did, but I'd put $100. on him making less than her most of the time they are together. The entire focus of it was her, the hubbie was in the background the whole time. This is often the case with this type of female.

She made a point to plug her business, and I don't mean the "self defense" training.

And I've popped (a few :) arms before and had an arm popped before. It's effective and if your smart you'll "tap" from it, but I would choke out a potential rapist long before I broke his arm. A strong person, or someone doped out, can withstand the pain of a broken limb. But oxygen and blood flow is necessary for life.... I continued one fight after one (popped arm), not realizing what had happened. Ref stopped it and I'm glad now that he did. You can't win them all, I screwed up and got gigged for it. Fought a couple other matches after that also. Was pi$$ed cause my screw up got me 3rd... But Stay safe to train another day. Anyone notice the submissive hubby punching the bag/dummy? Any comments on that? ;)

I think out of all of the folks I have seen so far, this last guy seems the best prepared. Didnt give up too much info and looks like he is good to go...
They seem more normal than any I have seen and are prepping for the most reasonable reason.

And what are they talking about water for....? The dude has a lake in his backyard!

Stinks that the NYorkers cant have firearms....I feel for him on that.

If he was that worried bout the guns he would be a cop not a firefighter
or not be a new yorker!

[WiseOwl]

Did homeboy just shoot his thumb off? They are picking the good ones to portray people how they want aren't they?

Oh gosh the pain, the agony.....please dirt catch me while I pass out!

Dang man!!!

And, in the "PAW", there will be no camera crew there to swoop in and save you in a chopper. This guy..........but, he had a helluva shovel/axe...that thing was bad to the bone!!! And now I recognize him, I have seen his kids shooting automatics on Youtube.

Oh and the NY fella, I would be scared to death of a huge muscular brother dressed like a darth vader with a ninja sword if I passed him on the street...now or then. Stinks that the NYorkers cant have firearms....I feel for him on that.

[antishot]

Dude shot his thumb off really. My 13yr son looked at me and said " that guy needs some serious training " I looked at his and said you think.

Just saw the tail end of this one with Evers. He's another old timer, you can find old articles in ASG from him. Inventive type, creator/tinkerer type.

I'm guessing so many of these folks are not showing 1/10 of what they have going and THAT IS GOOD!

I mean really, the BS $29. driveway alarm for "perimeter security" from his "technical team?" If you had to home make some stuff like that, their is some better things one could do...

Did not look like the house was reinforced but like I said we caught the very tail end.

more to come.

way overestimating their "community" goodness and well wishing

Interesting
Good to have a community with you in preparing


Dennis from Colorado
Good team efforts, awesome stuff
Nice setup, shop, ranch
good versitility, still relying on electric a bit much but didnt see what all they had to run stuff either
I could actually join this team/family without feeling out of place, they seem level headed and middle of the road
