Anyone see it last night I think they aired episode #1 early because my DVR caught it? I know they are only highlighting the extreme side of the issue, but did anyone take away anything from the show?

Started watching it, then switched over to a Finding Bigfoot rerun. The producers sure found themselves another crop of nutjobs to make preppers look bad.

ETA - to answer your question, no I did not take anything away from it.

I tried to find any episodes on On-Demand last night and couldn't. I just watched The Men Who Built America instead. Awesome series.

I hear ya. They haven't exactly identified who the "experts, Practical Preppers" were either.

I know it is a dumb way of sensationalizing the extreme "nutjobs" out there, but I keep an open mind, and maybe I can learn something from it. If anything, on not how to be a "nutjob" while being a prepper?

They had to drag the bottom of the barrel to find this season's crowd. Better the show goes away.

Episode 1 was pretty bad. The 12 year old prepper who starts a fire and nearly burns down an abandon building? Another 400 pound guy with a bunker?

Where do they find these people.

"Big Al" needs to worry more about his health than an attack from Russia. Prepping is probably just his escape from the real world.

Media likes to paint preppers as nut jobs. These people were hand chosen. I would not want to advertise what I have or where I have it.

^yep, makes good TV. Most preppers in my community are some of the most normal boring folks. They won't make a good show.
