Doomsday Preppers

Dear SemperFi: I'm a Proud 'Marine Trud' according to your definition.

I'm also an Emmy-nominated Photojournalist, with Sales and Public Service awards. I'm just the kind of Turd who is willing to Speak Up for those who can't face Reality. IF 200 Million (many will die) somewhat prepared people flee cities, there IS no place to hide. Instead .... let's educate them.

Well that post won't last long, put your site in your signature not in the post.

I've removed the link to your site. It's a violation of forum rules to post a link to any site you have an interest in withing the body of a post. You can place it in your signature if you choose.

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.

Ii like watching these type of shows just to see where I might be able to prop up some of my own weaknesses and build on them !

I saw that episode too , that guy blew off his thumb and the TV crew had to fly him to a hospital 40 miles away to have it re attached in their helicopter ! what a dufus , !!

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."

Are you sure that wasn't "Black Friday?" :whistling: :creepy:

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! :cool2:

And what happens when her water breaks???

She better hope there's a midwife around.

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.

The show is an insult to our collective intelligence.

Only if you watch it.:innocent:

Have you actually seen our collective intelligence? It might be a toss up.

Ok I stand corrected on the OTR laws . However one of the major problems is the reciprocity laws is that most trucking companies dont follow these laws and niether do the states (that claim they do, read about this in the NRA) and heaven forbid if you drive into Chicago or New york , just having a gun in your possession is jail time , make deliveries on Military bases , federal prisons , National Guard Installations , State prisons , you gonna tell them you have a couple ar 15's and enough ammo to start your own war? Well it doesnt matter , they are gonna search your vehicle , and every military or government agency in the US has signs that specifcally state before entering YOU GIVE UP YOUR RIGHTS to search and seizure ! But hey if you dont go to these places I guess your Ok , and as far as the National Geospatial agency , Rick , you dont think the intel boys know who you are? When you registered this website and the domain it was in your real name , thats simple public information right there , sattellite imagery is so sophisticated right now that yes when give the input of who you are it can be applied to your cell phone where ever you are! I know it sounds scientific or SYFY but its not , its real , Ive been to the agency (st louis) obviously I wasnt given top secret intel but think of it like this ,if you get the free version of GOOGLE MAPS ,you can see your house , with the paid version you can almost see the license plate on your vehicle in the driveway , you dont the an agency like this can see a little clearer?

My only point is that seeing you and knowing your identity are two different things. Knowing the owner of a web site is no different that knowing the owner of a car or a house or a boat. I can see you with binoculars. That doesn't mean I can identify you. There are 311 million people in the U.S. Do you think all of them are being tracked?

Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean that they're not out to get you! :sneaky2: :innocent: :ohmy:

I thought it was funny the retired cop/trucker guy is going to spend $1100 on camo netting to hide a silver and chrome truck in the desert. What a waste of money...I can hide an elephant in clear sight just by using a pair of those big clown sunglasses.

is being a "super-duper Moderator" close to being an Administrator?

In this thread it is.

My DIL discovered this show this week..... I have been under a barrage of text (she does not know how to communicate verbally...LOL....) she was amazed and intrigued,good grief,but it at least got her attention.

I'm one of the Proud, the Few and The Chosen ---> I'm an ex-Marine, stupid, money hungry, crazy, publicity seeking, Doomsday Prepper (S1E9 - March 27, 2012) Please - if I missed any of your other insults, please know I appreciate them.

First, there was no money. That's right - I haven't met any of the participants who were paid.

Second, you can pretend you are ready but no one knows what will happen. IF it is as bad as the "Solar Flares" (Carrington Effect) I was 'forced' to talk about on NatGeo, where do you think you can hide when 300,000,000 people flee the cities?

Third, I rather educate my family, friends and neighbors rather than kill them as dehydrated Zombies later. SO I'll be a face for reason rather than violence. I'll look for any opportunity to teach. Such as ......

Did Great “Old Time Radio” make you laugh and feel good?

The 'Red M&M' (George Bettinger is discussing Laughter & Life mixed with music - and guest appearance by “Doomsday Prepper” Jack Jobe ---- LIVE at 4pm est (2mst) TODAY on [URL="............................................. ....[/URL]

Let us make you smile. And Walk About Prepared! (tm)

JackJobe - that is now twice that you have posted a link to your stuff. We do not allow spam on this site. Third times a charm.

Put me in, coach. Come on. I can do it!

JJ - Seriously. If you were on the show, you gotta know that they are gonna make you look foolish. You have to know that going in. The shows are about ratings not about teaching. The more bizarre they can make it the better the ratings. For anyone to go on national television and talk about what preparations they have and where they keep them is, well, a little naive. I'll go with naive since you don't like insults.

Sounds to me like JJ is trying really hard to sell something.......Just like the guy on D-day preppers. (The one who shot his thumb off.)

Hey, wait a minute! Are you that guy?

Come on.......give us a "thumbs-up"!
(snicker, snicker)

It would appear that JJ is not very bright. He has been told how to post his mess, so that everyone can see it, but it appears that he can't follow simple directions......or friendly advice.

You would think that someone who claims to be preparing for teotwawki, would be able to pay attention and adapt. I'm thinking that if things go bad, JJ is gonna be screwed.

Now thats funny right there! I was watching and thinking What A Dumb###. While laughing the whole time.

Ya see, Jack, that was your 1st, really dumb mistake. You better believe that the guys that make that series are raking in the dough! Everybody wants their mug on national TV, no matter what they have to do to get it there. Signing up for a show like this is just asking for trouble, the producers go out of their way to make you look like some kind of "nut job! That's what they did on "Extreme Couponing:" They stiffed the couponers and made them look "greedy" as opposed to "thrifty." Your 2nd big mistake was showing your preps on National TV, now the "bad guys" got your number! Your 3rd big mistake is thinking that your tougher than all of the bad guys out there; I never met anyone yet who was bullet proof! BTW, which episode were you on? The "Doomsday Preppers" website does not list you under the name of Jack Jobe. :whistling:

This looks like an air date and episode number

No money???
In it for the publicity? Gonna make you a star? Gonna make you a go-to guru? Sign on the dotted line to give up your name, your face, your location. All for your very own 15 minutes of fame. Ringling was right.

As a Journalist "Doomsday Prepper" (S1E9 - Mar 27, 2012), I found this site while researching to make my own plan.

I'll be on TV this morning. Jack Jobe, Doomsday’s Super Bunkers (10:35am ET 3-7-12) Live.FoxNews.com What can “Urban Dwellers” do? Could you get there if you can afford one?

Thank You all for your wonderful advice and your concern, but I'd rather educate people than kill them. Don't ANY of you have anything constructive to add? Is your whole life about 'the negative', practicing to kill your family, friends and neighbors because you are too cowardly to teach them, AND being cruel and critical of people you don't know? I'd rather take the high road, build teams and communities. The Marine Corp taught me that. You can't hide in a War. Survival IS cooperation.

I thought this board was for adults, not cruel children who believe they have all the right ideas and everyone else is stupid and these are the Senior members. (Do you have the courage to leave this posted and allow this discussion?)

At 66, disabled and with a "city girl" wife, where am I going to hide? Answer this - do you honestly believe no one will find you and your plan is to kill them if they do? And I'm crazy!

Jack, It is not what you have presented, but how you have presented it.

1: If you didn't get paid a thing for them to make a huge amount of money, you may want to reconsider your theories of economics. That also demonstrates that you can be taken advantage of.

2: Most everyone here prepares for at least one thing or another. The show does make those who prepare look like they are one neuron away from the funny farm when we are in fact normal people. In a sense, we find that a bit.....offensive!

3: This is a pretty civil site. We all don't see eye to eye on all issues, but we maintain civility while agreeing to disagree. If you have an issue with the admin persons, send them a PM or send Chris the owner of the site a PM. "Blasting" someone on an open forum is just bad form. It kinda reminds me of my three year old when she throws a temper tantrum. Just tone it down a bit and be sure that respect is given so you don't get kicked off. Who knows, I might be able to learn from you and you might be able to learn form me!
