    I wonder if a show would be successful with people like us on there that just shows the skills that is needed, and offers good sane sound advice on prepping? No drama, no BS, just good ole surviving and prepping!
    Naaaaaaa, on second thought, never mind!

    They want tv drama and someone to look like an idiot,IE the show tonight had a man shoot his thumb off because he didn't follow the rules,never put anything or anyone in the muzzleblast area of your firearm.They don't seem to have an education format,only the one of lets see how dumb we can make people who prep look.

    I watch the show because it does stimulate brainstorming. I think alot of it is BS and that it is stupid to prepare for one event that is very slim of ever happening. I prepare for fires, riots, civil disturbances, loss of utilities, tornadoes, etc. You know, the stuff that happens to everyone at least a handfull of times throughout their life. Like I said, it gets me thinking though. Maybe it is an item they have that I didn't think of or maybe just a way to store and organize something.

    The closest I've ever been to a riot was the time they announced a sale in Ladies Wear at Walmart. Actually, that was more like a stampede. As to civil disturbance, isn't that a oxymoron? Wouldn't it be an uncivil disturbance?

    A civil distrubance:

    "I say, officer, would you mind terribly is I toss this bottle?"
    "That would be littering but I empathize with your need to make a statement. Go ahead."
    "Thank you. (Tosses bottle). You'll probably need to arrest me now. Do they serve coffee at lock up?"
    "Yes, yes we do. Are those handcuffs too tight?"
    "Not at all."

    I know riots seem rare for alot of people. I live in the Cincinnati area and there was a huge riot that occurred back in 2000. A (white) cop shot and killed a (black) kid when he reached into his waistband. Cincy, being racially on edge anyway, errupted into a long race riot where all kinds of damages occurred over several days. I think alot of riots and (un)civil disturbances occur, but the media doesn't dwell on them too much in fear that it will add to the issues.

    Look at the occupy movement. I'm not going towards politics, but if you don't think those are on the edge of creating some riot type issues I urge to rethink it a little bit.

    Well what moron would advertise there "location" , the "amount of weapons and ammo" ,the "food stored" ,the "water stored" , "how secure there fortress is" ,considering they all are against the government ! The guy in Texas with his fortress of conex boxes /turned home, your spot is the first spot the feds will take , if the Texas Rangers dont get it first! and JackJobe your an idiot , period , if thats your show , if your serious about prepping and survival why in the world would you show this to people all over the world watching tv ? For education , "Listen, Learn" what not to do , first thing you do if you dont want Homeland security on your *** is you KEEP QUIET!! You dont go on TV and tell everyone you have enough food for 5 years (everyone in the area) who seen this show from the cesspool city will be traveling out to your place , ya think you CAN stop em, all , think you CAN get out of dodge in those buses without being stopped? Not gonna happen!

    The show is entertaining ,thats the only reason its on tv , as far education alot good things are being done ,except for one thing the "experts assessment" doesnt tell you : NEVER tell mass media where you live, what you have ,what you dont have" too bad all these losers already have and there cover is already blown!

    The guy in Georgia with his "secret room " has all kinds of food and tons of weapons , shows all his stuff , my guess is he will be audited this year by the IRS , so much for that business he had , he will be crippled all for making an *** of himself on tv

    Well they can go for thier stuff and leave us alone! But you know, it is sad when having supply's ammo, and few guns is seemingly against the law, and you have to worry about confiscation! What is this world coming to?

    I'm in total agreement. Even worse, how many people of questionable character are taking notes on these folks, planning on visiting them when it all goes down? The preppers aren't the brightest folks, that's for sure! By the way, Semper Fi, great post! Positive rep sent!

    Semper Fi, I agree with you entirely. I wouldn't share that info either. Heck, I don't even tell the rest of my family!

    Well I am with you Nater , my wife doesnt care so she inst in the know as to what I do about survival, possibly and hopefully not she will never know what I had to protect us!

    I just watched the latest show and it had the cop /trucker , first off the National Transportation Agency (or whatever there called ) forbids any OTR trucker from carrying firearms in there trucks , even concealed licenses cant be applied , Im pretty sure carrying a couple AR's and tons of ammo wont fly! But I surely wouldnt care , but this idiot is begging "Troopers" from all over the country to stop him on the road , do any of these people not realize that the Homeland Security agency just needs to "ask" the National Geographic Channel for the info of where these people are and likely they will hand it over , not to mention The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency has the knowledge and the high tech technology to pin point there location anywhere in the world ? Look em up if you think they are not a real agency , just another Intel agency spying on Americans!

    I wished you'd offer up sources for some of the things you post. CDL does not restrict you from CCW. You simply have to follow state laws and recognize which states honor your CCW and which do not just like anyone else.

    How is any agency going to pinpoint you anywhere in the world? No one can track you unless your cell phone happens to be GPS equipped and you are currently carrying it. Even then, a court order is required to obtain the information from the telcos. They might be able to photograph me from the big eye in the sky but how are they going to know who I am?

    Finally, if you guys don't share any information with your family how are they going to know what to do if you are the one severely injured or killed?

    I agree with you Rick.

    My immediate family knows about the preps, just not outside the immediate family. My wife still isn't fully onboard, but she is walking towards the train and doesn't fuss about me doing it. She is all for the storing of first aid and food supplies. The arsenel is not her at all, but hopefully I will get her out and do some plinking starting in spring. It is all a work in progress.
