Thread: Doomsday Preppers unite...or segregate, whichever is safer.

After an afternoon of watching Nat Geo's Doomsday Preppers show, I got to wondering. How many of these SR guys are prepping for a world changing event? Now just having 140 razors, and 65 soaps doesn't mean you're prepping fellahs! SO be honest..You got anything layed by in case of disaster?

On a different note, how many of you are irritated that the science fiction channel changed their name to syfy, and the national geographic channel changed their name to natgeo? I swear we're getting dumber by the day...And I'm not even sure dumber is a word. Which totally proves my point.

Other than a good selection of wines, beer and the odd vintage cheese, I guess I'm pretty much unprepared for that kind of stuff

It depends what you mean by a "world changing" event. I downloaded the Kindle App onto my Android phone the other day in preparation for the day when the Kindle app is no longer available on the android market....

No, I am not preparing for any doomsday event. I am completely banking on the government recognising my genius and giving me one of the 500 invites to the specially built arc currently sitting in dry dock somewhere in the Himalayas.

While not prepping for "doomsday", I've always got a survival pack ready, mainly for when I go hiking and such. It has rain gear, two different fire starters and light kindling, a pocket knife, a boot knife, 500 ft of paracord, water purification tablets, first aid kit, etc... I've had one packed ever since my boy scout days. Might not ever need anything in it, but it is good to have just in case.

Actually, that is a good point Theseus. We always have an emergency kit (bush fire mainly) sitting ready and updated downstairs to be grabbed at a moment's notice. We also have an emergency list telling us what documents to grab and where they are located around the house if we have time.

My wife is the National Advisor for Emergencies, so we are always organised on that score.

I've got my MacGyver Limited Edition Swiss Army Knife, a roll of duct tape, and a case of Kokanee. BRING IT ON!

I was born ready. I don't need anything other than my own, hard as nails, wiry bushmans body and my trusty knife. All I need to do is find where I last had that knife and the body I mentioned. I seem to have hidden the body under a layer or to of excess weight...And the knife...Damn it I know I have one around here somewhere!

Go Bags or Bug out Bags are pretty common for those of us that live far out of town,, In fact most of us that live in the boonies tend to be a bit better "Prepped" then most city dwellers.. Also most hunters tend to have a kit with 3 days of survival rations and gear always ready..

A bad Snow or Rain storm can easily trap us for days, so we always have food, water and supplies..

That show is rather good EXCEPT the reasons they give for being prepared those are just for ratings I hope

You are a man I wouldn't want to come across if "Doomsday" happens.
