One-Hour Special Premieres Sunday, August 28 at 10 PM ET/PT Previous Image 1 / 10 Next They have stock piles of canned goods, gas masks, bomb shelters and even a tilapia pond. They are the families featured on TLC's newest one-hour special LIVIN' FOR THE APOCALYPSE, premiering on Sunday, August 28 at 10 PM ET/PT.
Amid the world's latest natural disasters, cultural doomsday predictions and economic collapses, there are those who are convinced that this is the end of civilization, as we know it. LIVIN' FOR THE APOCALYPSE takes a behind-the-scenes look into the lives of families who have spent years preparing for the day that they believe will mark the end of mankind. From rabbit-raising to meat-canning, no measure is too over-the-top when it comes to preparing for one's post-apocalyptical survival. The fascinating special will document these extreme actions and personal survival guides as these unique families prepare for the future...or not.
LIVIN' FOR THE APOCALYPSE is produced for TLC by Good Clean Fun.
Ping.
Lots of preparation talk these days. Guns, ammo, food, gear.
The thing is, if you are not a follower of Jesus, the last days are designed to take away EVERY man’s safe haven. Something is going to get you, and if something doesn’t, the angels will harvest you in the end, wherever you are(see Mt. 13).
If you haven’t hidden your life in Christ, all the food and ammo in the world won’t help you.
I think this is the third title for the same show they have been running....
I am 68, my Brother is dead at 66 ,I have better things to do than worrying about dying in an apocolypse.
My apocolypse could come tomorrow if someone decides to run me over on my motorcycle.
I think I will just pass on this show, maybe the young ones can start storing away their nuts for the apocolypse winter.
I put my trust in Jesus but I also find it conceivable that this country could have a financial meltdown without the second coming of our Lord.
A serious disruption in either the power or transportation grid is possible without His return.
Best to be prepared for both in my opinion.
Is it the same one where the one family was doing a container garden in an empty swimming pool?
AMEN! I live my life on a day-to-day basis, relying on Jesus to preserve me. If the Apocalypse occurs and I am still around, so be it, Jesus will still be in control.

An apocalypse is not a disaster or a catastrophe. The word means disclosure or revelation.
Always prepare a little bit. My folks live in Florida and have hurricane preps. That can be pretty apocalyptic! (mostly, they get outta Dodge early if any storm is coming near to them)
My sentiments exactly.
Correct, but the original meaning has been lost.
I do the common sense things I keep extra water around and we have plenty of canned goods to last a week or more,Frozen food in the freezer, I have a Generator in case the electric goes out and a few gallons of gasoline lying around, but I am not into digging shelters and being frightened by a meteor or Yellowstone blowing up, or anything like that.
PS, I also have a few rounds of ammunition, although I lost all of my weapons in a hunting accident.
Don’t they mean the BARAK-O-LYPSE?

Amen. I have lots of insurance and I consider preparing for a bad day, week, month, or year, additional insurance. You can rotate your food storage with stuff you use anyways so consider it a hedge against inflation. Besides, you can never have too much toilet paper!
The title of this show is very melodramatic but unfortunately the prepper community online has too many people who seem to fantasize about shooting zombies and talk about their ammo collection like Wilt Chamberlain talked about one night stands. I mean come on.... a hundred thousand rounds should be sufficient and each family member can only hold two firearms at a time!
They are now the Fruitcake Channels.
My favorite mindless drivel is "Life after People."
If humanity is totally absent, who gives a flying flock?
This one ended up being far worse than the previous show of its type. They did have one of the families from the other show, the one in Phoenix with the pretty cool pool system, but their case, they only focused on the weirder aspects. The worst part that made me want to throw up was the last couple and their planning. They were canning meat, but apparently they don’t know what canning is as it looked as though it was rotting and not sealed. The couple (one transvestite) were concerned about his/her hormone pills. They seemed really creepy, like folks out of some horror film.
