Are you kidding?
This is for reality TV, it's going to be as over-the-top as it possibly can be.

I predict it will portray us all as the tin foil hat brigade.

This looks like a series based on the so called documentary by the same title. Let's see if I can make my point of view clear.....

THIS SHOW IS CRAP!
IT DOES NOTHING OTHER THAN PORTRAY PREPPERS AS CRAZED, GUN TOTIN' BEAN EATIN' NUTJOBS WAITING FOR A GIANT COMMET TO CRASH TO THE EARTH AND KILL ANYONE WHO DOESN'T HAVE AN UNDERGROUND BUNKER TO HIDE OUT IN FOR A FEW YEARS!
DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME OR EFFORT OR EVEN THE ELECTRICITY TO RUN YOUR TELEVISION.
I HAVE BOYCOTTED THIS SHOW AND ACTIVELY DENOUNCE IT.

Did I come across to strong?

I looked it up online, another reality show for sure. Where are there heads anyways, how much do they get paid to look that paranoid or that ridiculous. I can look ridiculous, without prompting...:P

If you watch it from someone else's TV, then you can also say you boycotted it.

Oh! Oh! I can be paranoid and knife totin', ready to STRIKE... for a fee of course 😉 but, not too sure I want the world to know what is stashed in my house when all hell breaks loose. (Oh the paranoia is kicking in...with out payment... lol)

We watched the videos online the other night.
I loved the pool idea with the fish, veggies etc but in our reality, it just wouldn't work if the SHTF. He would be the first house on the street that would be a victim once looting stores was done.
The gun totin', cheese coatin' lady made us crack up. She was a riot. I want to make my own cheese and coat it in wax now, just in case. We giggled at the online stuff. I don't get that channel though so I won't be a weekly viewer unless there is a free preview sometime soon. I like to giggle at people on tv 🙂

I don't think you should just assume the populace is going to go crazy and begin to loot everything. If you're visibly well stocked you might just have people showing up, willing to trade work for a meal. This would be closer to the historical model than Mad Max.

My friend and I were talking about this the other night. She was curious and did some digging and found the cheese coatin', gun totin' Mama's blog. There is some decent info on there so I thought I would share it... http://preparednesspro.com/
It answered some of the questions I had about the eggs and cheese stuff.
Some of the people on that show I am sure were edited to look wonky for TV and some were probably too excited to be on TV that they actually came across as wonky, no editing needed but, I am sure for the most part they all meant well to an extent.
