Bottom Line: Rapidly Rising Fuel Prices Put Sluggish Economic Growth at Risk.
The lady in the corner house that bought $30k in freeze dried food because she believes martial law will kick in at any time. Then she moves into right next to a Capitol building to keep an eye on things.
Ok, pandemic lady takes the cake. She's the weirdest and most paranoid of the bunch imo. I think it's her hypochondria that went viral.
Anyone notice that 'the experts' on this show think all of the other scenarios are unlikely, with the exception of a pandemic? Thoughts?
same one's that did not think the housing bubble could burstwho in the hell are the experts and what makes them experts?
From the sounds of the program there are two experts. One assess the actual reason for preparing and the other assess their preparedness. Any clue who the other experts are?Practical Preppers LLC are the 'experts'. A retail establishment.
I agree. The show is idiotic with the not so subtle undertaking of making a laughing stock of the people they are highlighting. It 'dumbs down' the entire concept of prepping and in my opinion ties in a negative portrayal of gun ownership.One of the best comedies I have seen in a long time.
What's weird to me is that in the 60's had you walked into my grandmothers house. You would have found easily a months worth of food in the pantry and kitchen cupboards. She had hundreds of mason jars with everything from evergreen berry jelly to rubbarb and green beans. Granted they didn't have the meat that we store now. But still they kept a good pantry. Now days we know people who if they want to ake dinner they have to stop by the store.
I'd like to think the lack of foresightedness in preparing is a modern day phenomena. But I wonder if that is right. The previous generations in our family had well-stocked pantries, grew and canned food, etc., but they were mostly rural and small town families living here in the west. I'm curious what was done by folks living in the populated eastern cities? My guess is their mindset (and capabilities) were more in tune with the average unprepared American today. Right? Wrong? Anyone know?
