I am still amazing that anyone that is prepping would allow themselves to be put into the public spotlight by doing a show like Doomsday Preppers??!! In my opinion this show loves to exploit preppers as whacky and maybe borderline dangerous. I talked my wife into watching it a couple of times and now she actually feels like she would be embarrassed if people we know thought we were preppers and maybe like most of those that are portrayed on this show. Maybe they pay them a butt load of money??

I would never do it, and I think there are a lot of inherent dangers (that no fly list is growing by leaps and bounds), but I can understand why some might. There is something to be said for "legitimizing" personal responsibility and getting people to think about what they would do in a disaster scenario. I suspect the shows have contributed to many brand spanking new preppers. The way I see it, if my neighbors are prepared, it means they won't be beating down my door and I won't have to shoot them some day. That would be a tough one. How do you harm someone who is just hungry? ::shakes head:: I hope it never comes to that.

It is a running joke around here about keeping a list of where your mormons neighbors live just in case of SHTF since it is well known that most true mormons maintain at least a year's food stock for their families. While it might be a joke to some people it will turn into life or death when their own families are starving for food or water. I say fly under the radar, stay well armed and well stocked and hope and pray that you never have to use either.

I have to disagree with just about all of you. I think most of the people who participate on the shows are genuinely trying to help others become more aware and prepare. Guys like Southernprepper1 arn't wacko's and are well skilled in survival and prepping. The show or network itself is the reason these people are portrayed the way they are.
Watching "Doomsday Preppers" on NatGeo is the reason I've gotten into prepping. Therefore, I'm sure I'm not alone when I say that the show and experienced preppers really do provide inspiration for other Americans to become more aware and prepare.
I think it would be a good thing for people to come forward and help educate Americans on how IT is done. Think youtube tutorial and information videos but on a larger scale.

I would never give anyone my information unless I could honestly trust you. To earn my trust you would have to show me a series of things. Unmentioned things of course. And also everyone be careful of these types of posts for the simple fact that if you was on a tv show and they told millions of people or the filming crew knows how your whole operation works they could wait until SHTF and your plan could soon be interrupted and taken over by them. So be VERY CAREFUL WHO YOU GIVE YOUR INFORMATION TOO!!!
No time to be a star. Life is too busy.
Besides, I know how it would end. One thing would lead to another and I'd become a huge celebrity. Next thing you'd know, they would find me dead, in a pool of my own vomit, heroin needle stuck in my arm, in a swanky hotel room surrounded by a bunch of high priced call girls.
Charlie Sheen would be a bad influence.

I think SoutherPrepper1 is the only prepper from the NatGeo series that I connected with and actually find really useful. I watch his videos all the time and find them really thought provoking. Sometimes his stuff does cross that line, but with him I think he just takes prepping very seriously.
Honestly, I would NEVER do a show on my life as a prepper because it would totally blow my cover and all my leechy distant relatives will come knocking when the SHTF. LOL. Thanks, but no thanks. I prefer to keep things on the down low.
