Nat Geo Prepper Show on tonight (Tuesday)

Don't forget the National Geographic Doomsday Preppers Show is on tonight, 8:00pm CST. It's showing 8:00, 9:00, 10:00 and 11:00 here, so I am guessing they will show all the back episodes after the first new episode and maybe a repeat of the first new episode (just guessing on that, cause there has only been 2 episodes before tonights).

Didn't see it.. Wife said today at 2:00 Anderson Cooper Show will be talking about people prepping for end times..

I wonder if she has ever been to this site? She was from Utah and had a large family and is probably a mormon. Doesn't their church encourage them to rotate a stockpile large enough for several years. She probably did not want to show her food to the world.

I missed it last night, I had a meeting I needed to be at.

If you have cable I get the re-runs on demand. You might get to see what you want if you have that service.

I'll catch it this Tuesday. It seems as though they show the previous weeks show after the new show. Of course, the week I missed it they won't do that . 

Who looks nuts, hehehe. There was one lady prepping for the flu. I think it's interesting to see what others are doing/how they are preparing even if it is something different. How self-sustaining they really are food wise, as far as growing their own and supplies on hand, self-protection. Even if they are a little out there we might get some good ideas or there might be something we haven't thought of that comes to our attention.

I think that whatever starts you prepping probably does define you to some extent, but if you then fixate on that one perceived threat it definitely limits what you're prepared for. It's almost like taking off the blinkers that most people wear just a little, but not all the way. That said, from reading everybody's posts over the months and years I'd guess most of us on AFT have tweaked our preps to some degree to cover more than just one emergency. Maybe I'm getting paranoid in my old age, but I see a lot more threats to our way of life that I did before I began to prep for a pandemic, but I guess pulling your head out of the sand makes it easier to see what might be on the horizon. Just got to get your head above ground first

I guess it goes with the territory - we think outside the box so it's inevitable that we're going to be labeled as nuts. By choosing not to be one of the sheeple living in a cozy little dream world where nothing bad could ever happen makes us card carrying members of a pretty exclusive club, and minorities like preppers scare people because of what we dare to believe. Start talking about really catastrophic things happening and you'll inevitably be labeled as one of those crazy doomsday people. Just yesterday, someone at work was talking about the Nat Geo show and poking fun at the people featured. I just smiled, rolled my eyes as if I agreed they must be nuts, and walked away because there's nothing to be gained by advertising the fact you're prepping to someone who probably will never get it

HA... Same here jacksdad! Co-worker asked me if i seen the doomsday preppers..He said that they were all nuts...I had to bite my tongue!

I am going to put seeds away but ones that I can really use. My question is has this guy ever farmed? I am going to increase my growing area this year with some new containers to grow more vegies.

I really want to make a potato cage but don't know where I want one so that is for next year...if we are still here ...LOL!
