So we can't be mad, if anything Prepping has been vindicated!

Weapons, disasters, pandemics, epidemics, human failures and evil deeds know no boundaries!?

hey jansman just sit back and enjoy for what it is a bit of entertainment that we can laugh at What am I saying the first one had me looking to see if we had any of those idiots in the uk
Its good to know that most peppers would make very very boaring tv. I wonder how long it took the tv company to find these preppers and how much editting they had to do to make it (as they see it) entertaining tv

I'll bet in a trice of the first prog. there are journalists poking round here to make US look like nutjobs. Will not give it kennel space.
I have a Very good friend who is a BBC journo. He knows my mindset, and size of logpile! He has often commented on SHTF I am round to you. Or will you do an interview? He had been told he will ruin our friendship if he pushes it. Thankfully, he has no idea of how far I am prepped.

I've nothing against America or Americans, so when I say there's more of them so it should come as no suprise that the ones who appear a little nutty to sy the least are probably easier to come by, we're more reserved, and of course we don't have the history of gun ownership on a mass scale, nor building ICBM bunkers on that scale nor the mentallity which their circumstances allowed to develop, which may have helped to keep much of the real conflict elswhere whether they got involved or not.

As for being interviewed, it's just not me, not for any reason, I have opinions, beliefs, and plenty to say and hopefully to contribute, just not to a camera, not on any subject, if stopped by a TV crew and asked to comment on the weather, I'd only mention sex and bad food

We are more reserved. Good job. We are British. Its the 'Keep calm and carry on' attitude. Last week the Yanks were evacuating 'cos of 80 mph wind and floods.
Today Eastern Scotland may get 70 mph winds. They are not running away.

Only in America. Bonkers.

To be fair though we’ve never seen anything on the scale of hurricane Katrina…mind you living in wooden houses can’t help much…
