Thanks for posting the guide, I posted earlier that it was coming on but wasn't sure of the time slot. Now I just need to remember to watch it.

We don't have tv any more so I will have to try and catch it later on. I am sure someone will post it up on youtube. There is a large prepper network on there.

I caught most of the 2nd hour, then watched an hour about the Ron Barrett family business. That was very interesting how he and his kids developed the Barrett rifles. The preppers came on again after that and I watched the first part of the first segment.

They basically interviewed multiple prepper families, showing all the preps they had made, then critiqued their ways and after a period of time came back and saw what changes the family had made. Some very interesting ideas were presented. NG was positive about the whole idea of prepping.

As I watched, my critique of some of the people was they were geared for a specific earth shattering calamity rather than all the possibilites. Two were geared for earthquakes, (San Andreas, New Madrid faults) one for a pole shift, and one for economic collapse. Only two that I saw were ready for a broader range of problems. In my mind, life still must go on if there is no catastrophe, and preps need to be made around normal living whereas some of the people were getting so dug in and so devout they no longer were living normal lives. Prepping was their life.

Altogether very interesting and educational if you are in the prepper mode. I saw things that I need to think about incorporting and I saw mentalities I would like to avoid.

From what I remember, I saw the one family that prepping is their living. I could not see myself going that far, but props to them if it makes them happy. Like Grandpa, there are some things I think I can use in the show for my hurricane kit/preparedness. I'll watch it again.

I've seen a few people link this video to the show. I saw the show last night and did not find it too bad. But this clip I guess was not from last nights show.

I watched the first episode on youtube, but I have not seen the episode with the clip from above. If our internet connection will act right I am going to try and catch a couple more episodes tonight.
