There's an old survival store on Washington St.? How did I miss that?

 

[2ADMNLOVER]

Wish it aired earlier.

 

[The Professor]

Is this during the news or a special, stand-alone?

Survival store gone thanks to low traffic and the surplus store across the street.
It's supposed to be a part of the newscast.

They ran a preview in the 7 o'clock hour this morning. I bet they'll put it up on their website after they run it tonight.

We were wondering what event sparked them to look at this topic now?

 

[flatlander]

Economy or a slow news day?

No one on INGO would even admit they have a bunker, let alone show it off on TV.

+1 for jagee. Who in the world would want to expose their bunker to the general public????

The Walking Dead returned to TV last night. Lots of folks thinking about survival/prepping after that show.

Sadly I lost mine along with my guns in a terrible boating accident.

+2 for jagee!!! I enjoyed watching "Doomsday Preppers", but I always thought to myself, "why would I want to expose what I have?"

You have to look closely at the mindset of some of these "Doomsday Preppers." First, many of them WANT TEOTWAWKI (The End Of The World As We Know It) to happen, for whatever reason. Many of them want to then show how "right" they are. Just like the guy who goes out and fixes up a classic car (or Classic CAR (see what I did there?)), they want to show off their hard work so that others will be jealous.

The show Doomsday Preppers made craptons of money off of that very idea. About four years ago, I attended a Survival Expo in Denver, Co where Doomsday Preppers had a booth looking for people for the show. There was a pack of idiots six-deep around that table of jackwagons BEGGING to be on the show and show off their preps.

Never underestimate the desire of an idiot to display his idiocy to the world.

That's what made YouTube such a success.

I don't want to take away from your point but there are also those who believe it's inevitable and they'd like to share their skills with like-minded folks and/or do what they can to stave off the disaster. Some people even believe we can avoid it entirely through education.

There are many who just want to show off but there are also many who want to help. Be careful you don't mix them.

It's not that I want to show off my stuff after SHTF, and I don't care to make people jealous.

But, it would be sweet to not have to go back to work...........ever.

 

[flatlander]

You'd end working harder than you probably EVER worked every single day

Well I just watched the segment. They mentioned climate change three times ... I really don't prepare for climate change.

Decent segment with only a dash of crazy. I am a bit shocked that the people used their possible real names and allowed the news folks in but to each their own. FOX did give some good info and did not bend it too bad.

I hate when I take my bunker fishing with me and it falls overboard. If I only had a nickel for every time that has happened to me...

That's why I always attach one of those floaty boat key chains to mine...........just in case.
