I don't prep for doomsday (besides being right with God), I prep for tornados and severe weather events. I would hope that folks along the Mississippi prep for floods, and folks in California prep for earthquakes, fire, mudslides and Gov Brown.

It just turns out that my preps for tornados work pretty well for just about any kind of disaster, including mutant biker zombies.

Saw ads for this.
Can't help but expect it to be a paint-them-crazies piece, given the political leanings of National Geographic.

Don't plan to watch it.

I hope so, but JRandomFreeper tirade about the term Doomsday has me a bit worried! ;-)

Years before household "buying in bulk" became mainstream, I recall reading an Andrew Tobias tome praising how a penny unspent is two pennies earned, avoiding income tax.

Buying on sale, and rotating a 3 month store of staples is economically smart, not to mention a great backup in case of a disaster.

Tobias even mentioned the fabulously wealthy founder of Revlon (Charles Revson?) buying his mouthwash by the case so he'd always have minty fresh breath.

Still waiting on a bug-out-bag prep thread.

The last one was OK. I think the rating they give at the end of each Prepper’s segment was far from fair though. Like I said tivo it and zap through the bad parts.

I prep for Obama and the government. Correction, I’m trying to as there’s no 100% or even 10% safe guard against them.

I'm in trouble. I've only been prepping for biker zombies. I don't have anything for if they're mutants too.

Just watched several of the videos online and I think it will be just the opposite. Very informative.

Saw previews being advertised but I don’t get the Nat Geo channel. Maybe I can come here and see what FReepers have to say about it.

I’m prepping for doomsday if Obama wins a 2nd term. Withdrew all my money from stocks already, had it converted to cash which I stored in my underground bunker, which is buried 50 feet underground and reinforced with 5 feet of concrete and steel. I have it loaded with 4 years of food and water. It is IRS resistant, EPA resistant and all around general government intervention resistant simply because they do not know it exists. If the Obama ghouls discover it and try to break it up and divide it so everyone gets a fair share, it will then self destruct in 30 seconds.

Bug out bag?

Simple.

Have a pack ready to go on a 3 day backpacking trip at a moment’s notice. Tailor to geography, region, season, and hostility.
