:laffo: One family on this show actually believes there is a literal ghost in their house telling them through vibrations to be preppers because a comet is going to hit the Earth.

The racist chuds aren’t fun to watch, but every episode seems to have some kind of insane wild card who believes in a science fiction scenario.

My favorite is still the Lou Ferigno looking rear end in a top hat and his ten kids who built a literal castle in the woods but didn’t bother to finish it or even give it a roof. Just a giant pile of concrete with no doors and standing water everywhere.

Don't go down the fallout shelter rabbit hole, i was watching videos of a guy running septic systems with an excavator, nek minute i'm 2 videos in to a fallout shelter company beef with some redneck dude wearing a trump t-shirt and a maga hat, having beef with some other guy selling steel coffins to people.

Took me hours to get them out of my suggested videos.

Its been years since I watched it but I seem to recall the Doomsday Prepper episode format being like 1 crazy racist gun guy, 1 overly anxious person in society, and 1 totally out of their mind person turning their backyard into a post apocalyptic system before the super volcano explodes.

The only Doomsday Prepper episode I remember was one where some guy's fallout shelter in the middle of the woods was broken into and looted because his security system was poo poo.

Okay, my new favorite rear end in a top hat on this show is the guy convinced he can cause a rockslide to block the local road. And of course he tests this by rolling a giant boulder down the hill onto an active road.

I have a guilty pleasure of listening to apocalypse books when i'm in a bad mood at work. If you only knew how many doomsday preppers try and write zombie fiction. i have a pile of audiobooks i've stopped listening too because some Steven King wannabe hits you with the old "Liberal snowflakes" in the first chapter. Then the next chapter is a laundry list of stuff in their dream zombie shelter. It's terrifying.

My favorite thing about Preppers was always that smarmy thing the show did where they'd get a "survival expert" to analyze the prepper and point out where they were gently caress ups and how to fix it it and then the prepper always goes all petulant and rejects it.

Preppers: We're diabetic and will die without a shitload of insulin.
Experts: You don't have enough supplies and insulin. If you get more we give you 10 months.
Preppers: I disagree.

But... you said...

Update:
Prepper: Me and my husband are going through a messy divorce and I won the prepping stuff, but I have to go get it and they're out there with guns.

:stonk:

I kind of hate myself for continuing to watch this.


edit: God drat, that guy building a post apocalypse smokehouse out of beer bottles jumped REAL quick to "I'll make human jerky."

It’s worth it for the hidden gems, like the guy I’m watching now who just started eating wild berries without knowing what they were while he insisted the universe would tell him what not to eat because his body is like an antenna.

I loved it in World War Z when the author takes a moment to call out all the preppers as either idiots who had giant holes in their plans and ended up stockpiling useful resources that got wasted when they died, or even when everything went great then they just became little pockets of armed psycho whackjobs that impeded the recovery as much as the zombies did.

LOL I forgot the grading thing in Doomsday Preppers, what's even the goddamn point if you only last at best another year or two more than everyone else? Living in a glorified basement eating MREs and making GBS threads in a hole, good times.

E: the WWIII Boston guy getting a mail-order bride and turning her life upside-down with his insane bullshit is legit depressing, this watch isn't fun anymore. :smith:

I'll never be comfortable around gossip like that. Maybe it's a function of growing up in the South, and having to hear those old church women with, as Burroughs said, "their pinched mean bitter faces". I just don't see how it's ever useful or interesting to do that. I think I'm allowed to have that opinion. I would hope so anyway. :shrug:
