Larry is the first normal prepper in this series. In my opinion most of the other preppers are crackpots. I think some of them are addicted to prepping just like shopaholics are addicted to spending because it gives them a high. These people probably have mental illness issues. These extreme preppers will probably have severe withdrawal pains if there is no way to keep buying stuff during a societal breakdown. (I'm bipolar but fortunately have never gone on big spending sprees, but some people with this disorder do.) I believe in being prepared, but I'm not OCD about it.

[@gomphe]

While I respect anyone who actively prepares for the worst case scenario, I feel the motives for two of these individuals are heavily influenced by emotions (fear) rather than rational and logical analysis. While fear oftentimes serves as a great motivator, making any decisions in fear or in any emotional state is not the best course of action. In my opinion, if an individual is to prep for a "Doomsday" event, they need to determine/identify the following criteria before doing the actual prep: 1.) What event they are preparing to occur? 2.) How likely will the event occur? 3.) Will that event occur during your lifetime? 4.) What's the duration of the event should it occur? In my analysis, two of these preppers did not consider points 2 and/or 3. In the case of Michael, his overwhelming fear of overpopulation has taken a huge social cost to himself and possibility his family. While the skills he possesses and teaches are extremely invaluable, the time and effort taken to learn the skillsets are more likely to be used for personal/individual survival rather than as a response to a world ending event. Can overpopulation occur? Yes, it is a possibility. However, it is an event that occurs overtime, not overnight, and the odds of him or his children of actually employing those skills during their lifetimes for an unlikely event is very low. An analogy of this point is an individual who is so afraid of drowning while vacationing in a cruise ship that he/she keeps her life preserver and scuba gear on during her entire cruise. In the case of Becky, she has the overwhelming fear of martial law or a government takeover. Like in the case of Michael, Becky's fear motivated her to stock up on food, water, and to take gun lessons. However, while Becky's motivations has made her more prepared and incentivized her to made some impressive investments in dehydrated food and water, the likelihood of a government takeover and/or martial law occurring within a conservative state/city like Utah is pretty low (even during the current political climate). Although I agree that civil unrest and martial law is more likely to occur in certain large cities (i.e.: Washington DC, New York, etc.) during her lifetime, Becky needs to focus less on what may happen and more on what is happening in her life.

[@pilarboutte392]

Such a lucid and well said comment. Wish I could give it more thumbs up. "Overwhelming fear of..." The intense emotion of fear, is an honest motivator and surely serves an enormous purpose. But I agree with you, that when it overwhelms us, it may no longer serve us quite as well.

[@brandonshofner5806]

Michael is perfect for this show. "They" put this stuff on the air to "teach" people how to survive. I hope that Michael and his family make it but because of his hippie mindset its doubtful. Humans are predators who's favorite prey is other humans.

[@rangereview4590]

That's what they like to show on this show, it's making fun of anyone with a prepping mindset, that's why they call them "doomsday" preppers,to say "laugh at what he does to fight a threat that is improbable.if he had his stuff in order, they would call him dangerous and a threat to society instead of "funny guy who lives in the woods "

[@ant-1382]

Being prepped is a really good idea. Not buying into the paranoia.

[@toddamtmann3528]

The "first threat" isn't a solar flare... It's other humans.

[@iliketowatch.]

I know that people live in all different conditions, elevations, population levels, weather, etc but it seems like if prepping is one of your biggest concerns, moving to more temperate conditions would be a good idea. When everything else is going wrong, why have a fight with the elements (extreme cold, heat, lack of natural resources like food & water) on your plate? This guy up in Maine and the other guy in Colorado (shelter builder from different episode) seem like they have some real challenges ahead if ever they had to bug out. If I ever get serious about prepping, N. California is where I'd look for a place. There is abundant open land, mild weather and plenty of good resources (clean water, good arable land, fish and game to eat, etc.) available. Another vote for my choice of N. California is that I have plenty of relatives there. Of course, if ever the time comes, family will be an extremely important resource.

[@DareToBeDeviant]

Sometimes they're too settled in to pack it all up and migrate to a more hospitable area. California may have ideal weather but do does Nevada, Texas, Georgia, and Arizona. The 'rules' are a lot less harsh, too. In California the people in charge like to pretend human rights don't exist and everyday people who want to get ahead in life need permits for this, permits for that, and excessive wait times on those just to be told 'no'.

@Steve If only the bullet could reach the far...

[@wesman7837]

@Steve he's not going to be anywhere near a city when SHTF, and you shouldn't be either if you want to live!

[@FarmerDrew]

My best friends are plants and animals. Even we betray each other sometimes, the nettle stings and the dog bites. I chop the plant down and I tell the dog he's out of my will. Circle of life!

Literally kills plants and animals with pesticide and farm equipment as a farmer….Yea ooook

Crazy how this series seems more important than ever. Even if some are a lil cooky, the information is good. WW3 and a long-term pandemic is here.

the gas/water thing makes sense until you remember we dont live on Titan and it doesn't rain gasoline.

[@mtc9683]

A life lived under the grip of fear is not a life at all, and the thing is that absolutely and I emphasize the absolute nobody will ever escape death and once that knowing becomes and intrinsic part of your consciousness you actually can enjoy the present and life!

[@b_uppy]

Is this that kind of fear? Ants prepare for winter. Nations prepare for disasters. Disaster preparedness has certainly been recorded in the Bible. It's part of maturity to accept that things happen. Children live solely for the day. Adults can live for the day while setting aside for tomorrow.

9:05 perfect chance to demonstrate the throwing stick by knocking the kid off the bike

[@KhmerShadow]

If you can dodge a throwing stick you can dodge a buckshot, supposedly.

Merci beaucoup from Paris France 👍 👍 👍

Poor Becky. The very first thing that would happen would be her preps would be confiscated or stolen. it would not be the worst thing to happen to her.

[@jacoberwin4412]

By one of her friends too at that. Leeched off of at the very least.

can you throw a tomahawk 100 meters? nope. BiG BrAiN" New Toys will rust." bro i have a couple hand me down firearms that were built 100+ years ago and still hold zero.

[@zplusacademy5718]

So nice 👍

[@liveyourlife7367]

I love the preppers who train their children!

[@Murdoc2080]

Why do most preppers only seem to prepare and focus on just one disaster scenario 😕 It would be intelligent to prep for all and any scenario.

[@diannamc367]

That's what I thought the first time I watched these. I've seen interviews with some of these people later and they were told they could only give one answer to that question. The show put alot of effort into making them look like idiots.

[@jimmywibbles6026]

they only prepare for what they are most afraid of

[@rictrician]

Peoples hearts failing them for tear of what is coming upon the land

[@thevarietyshow7777]

Sorry, but mountain man's logic is flawed and naiive. Guns are a must to survive. Don't bring a knife (or tomahawk) to a gunfight. Going down the hierarchy to the more primitive as your resources run out would be the smarter way to do it. Harmonize modern technology with old world knowledge. Having both is best.

[@BOOMER-rs5qn]

I agree, the native Americans used his defensive tactics against men with guns. Look how well that worked out for them!

[@Prolific_Gaming]

“Let me live right next to the capital in case when Marshall law comes I’m gonna be one of the first doors they knock on” Great idea Becky😂

[@United4Games]

When the kid said he will get water from the sink,then just eat pizza for food it seems to me that Michael didn't even explain to him what he believes it will happen,I think he just keeps saying It hitting the fan etc, and expecting that his son will just know what is talking about without even explaining it to him what will food shortages or overpopulation means smh..

[@MaxW-er1hm]

The Arc of history and civilization itself is very long and while real upheaval happens it is rare and short in duration, on the one hand it's best to prepare against a natural disaster while on the other hand it probably won't happen in his life that he won't have a sink to drink out of...

[@Geist1]

The bird alarms..so you’re assuming the birds won’t be dead from whatever ends the world and you’re assuming they will never use that call until the perfect moment. I’m so sad for that family.

[@KS-PNW]

Not to mention migration. He said it can get down to 30 below where he lives. I guarantee you most (if not all) of those birds don't live there year round.

They're still wackos, the pandemic didn't change anything but your perspective

[@viciousonthetrack]

@@tylerofearth2296 they are still very much wackos, but they are right to an extent

[@b_uppy]

@@tylerofearth2296 That wasn't a pandemic. Initially COVID-19 killed 1% of those that got it and that was among the old and sick. A real pandemic would affect the young able bodied people, like the Spanish Flu a century ago. Or consider the if even something treatable like the bubonic plague broke out. Even with treatment 10% still die. We are still heavily dependent on China for most medical supplies. The Biden admin is ignoring the supply chain issues, inflation, etc. Those 'wackos' already had 'perspective'.
