Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Doomsday preppers!

EE....dude you got serious issues. Get a life.

EE is working on his 2013 24hourcampfire crumedgeon of the year nomination.

You didn't even spell it right, but whether a play on words or a mistake the wonders of the internet never cease as it took me right to the definition.

I don't have a link for Commie of the year for you. Penguin is ahead of you though.

Like I give a schit what you think or post. Laughing, I do know a liberal or two who have much better manners than you and are more pleasant to be around.

Could it be that the latent intent is to subliminally convey the thought that those who believe our country is heading toward the new world order or believe economic collapse is more probable than not are stupid people?

If you two morons really didn't care you wouldn't spend so much time responding. Your actions betray you. Both of you are pseudo intellectual fops pretending to be conservatives but in actuality, pretty freaking liberal.

As far as pleasant to be around, why would you not love your own?

Sounds like you've done some preppin' plannin'

It could be. There is a certain element of comedy to a lot of these shows, but people love the characters on Swamp People and Moonshiners. These folks aren't ongoing characters though.

I think most folks see the crazy ones for what they are and take some pointers from the ones who are actually sane and preparing for realistic challenges to their lives and lifestyles.

I tune in when I think about it, but I'm not glued to the TV.

Almost everybody with any sense is a prepper to some degree or another.

well, yeah, that is true. the whole thingy revolves around the trajectory of the fall-off in the population after the collapse. or, said in another way, how soon order of one kind or another is restored.

in the worst case scenarios, those who die soonest will be much luckier than those who die later.

Not a huge fan of the show but after watching last nights show I am thinking these people are just nuts. The guy with the truck who is burring pvc pipes all over the place with Glock pistols in them is just asking to be disapointed when he arrives back at the location and findes them missing. And the people who were "lead" to the house in the smokey mountains by the previous owner who is dead? And the woman is now "channeling" the dead chick and carrying on her preping so when a commet hits the earth people will have a place to go? Yikes, that was a bit much for me.

Agreed.

Mannlicher nailed why it's getting a bad wrap - our liberal elite need helpless subjects so they can be in power and can't stand it when folks actually try to not be totally dependent on somebody or some entity for their safety/security.

I don't prepare for "the end of times" or any crap like that - I prepare for likely interuptions to vital services that could put me or my family in a bad spot or worse, in danger. Nothing more, nothing less. The folks that really get torked about "preppers" (i.e. people with foresight and common sense) are the ones that either can't prepare for anything because they're living check to check - one step away from misery if a disaster hits - or the ones that don't think there will be a need. Either one is a fool.....

that would suck - to have your Bug out shelter cleaned out when you show up.

I haven't watched this show but I did watch a show about a guy that builds the shelters. He was supposed to be an expert builder and during the course of the show he had one couple call him up to let him know their shelter filled up with rain water and another guy called him up to let him know that his "super secret" location that they couldn't even tell you the county it was in had the generator stolen because it was sitting out in broad daylight above the shelter.

Can you imagine the hunter or teenager stumbling upon a 3500 watt high $$$ generator out in the middle of nowhere and not a soul around for 20 miles? if he'd only known what was below him he could have eaten on potted meat and MRE's for 2 months.

Will - you don't need a pill to eat cheeseburgers but might consider something to help ya relax. Maybe Bristoe could head out to da still and hook ya up wid a leedle hooch.....

Not a bad idea. If I don't get back to the hills soon I might be forced to buy some from a legitimate store.

Running a still? Now that is a skill set that might actually be of use in a long term emergency situation.

"Luck favors the prepared".

Exactly. If you want to know the kind of things you might reasonably need to be prepared for, just look back through the last 100-150 years of history. Or even the last 75 years worth in "civilized" countries. There is enough right there to cause plenty of concern to anyone with a rational mind. History does repeat itself, and usually throws in a couple new twists each time it does. Just knowing bad things can happen, and having a reasonable plan in case they do, can make things alot less painful.

Alot of those folks on Doomsday Prepper are just batchit crazy though, or the show at least makes them out to be anyways.

This has been my thought the whole time. Furthermore, there was a producer or some hollyweird type that works for NatGeo on another forum and admitted that they coax them into saying and doing weird [bleep] to make the show interesting. They tried to talk the fat girl in Houston to killing her cat. It was suggested that the dumbass that shot himself was paid to do it.

They go after the lowest common denominator and try to pass it off as your average "prepared" person. They want them to see crazy and demonize them. Kind of like what they do with gun owners.

I am convinced that after a couple of days in a bug-out bunker with the likes of an EthanEdwards I would gladly run, empty-handed, for fresh daylight and to whatever the outside apocalypse held...

And I'm convinced he'd let ya.....more room and food for him and his.....
