Mike glad to hear from you.Yes the producers of the show are trying to show us as lunitics.I did like the part of the show this week where the man had buried his camper.As for farming after an event i personaly think stealth planting over a wide area in small plots is best.Think root crops and greens.As for storage very long term cost and space limits us all.

I ...I missed the show but normally try to watch it. I feel the shows have gone off the edge and teach little about normal prepping but now go overboard with extreme attitudes and money. The producers appear to want to show only the extreme wacko’s and grossly incompetent people thereby tainting the name ‘prepper’.<br /><br />Gary I like your approach to storing food, it makes a lot of sense.<br /><br />As for the number of months of food storage that is a hard question to answer and be comfortable with. Small local disasters (hurricanes, earthquakes, weak global growing season etc) are pretty easy to handle with 6-12 months of supplies. Since we just don’t know what the size and type the global or country wide disaster will be I feel that storing grains, beans and dry pasta in large quantities are the only way to handle that along with growing your veggies and raising chickens for eggs and meat. The only problem with this is protecting them and yourself 24/7 from starving marauders. <br />Mike Yukonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07615350717597229013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1073353010463155346.post-57477463789366664242013-08-13T19:53:57.340-07:002013-08-13T19:53:57.340-07:00I recorded it myself because it conflicts with a s...I recorded it myself because it conflicts with a show the wife watches.Sometime good telivision and good scence are totaly differant.Gary in Bamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00095999376990912465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1073353010463155346.post-7105461570514725622013-08-13T19:25:16.578-07:002013-08-13T19:25:16.578-07:00I'm too tired to watch tonight, but I have the...I'm too tired to watch tonight, but I have the satellite receiver set up to record the show. After the Doomsday Preppers show the premier of their spin off is on.<br /><br />Sometimes I see things on Doomsday Preppers that are worth knowing, and other times it's like fingernails going down a black board. I watch it, though. Harry Flashmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05071021900005041592noreply@blogger.com
