Mini Prepper Test.

[Buckaroobonsai]

The power just came on after being off in my neighborhood for about an hour. When it first went out, I waited about 5 minutes to see if it was coming right back on, and then went out to the garage to crank up the "small" generator. It provided us with some lighting and powered the entertainment center, just in time to watch, "Doomsday Prepper Bug Out" on NGCHD.

Had it stayed out for longer, I would have cranked up the "big" generator to get the fridge and microwave going as well, as I like to enjoy a cold beer and popcorn with my prepper shows.

So you used gasoline to watch that?

No, methane from the pig poop on my urban farm. Of course, gasoline! It got us through the outage in style, as I didn't see any of my neighbor's enjoying themselves! What should I have done, just sit there with a candle listening to my hand crank radio?!

my dad has his house hooked up to batteries and a generator to recharge the batteries, the generator is hooked up to a propane tank that is 500+ gallons. He looks forward to the power going out.

Not questioning your use of the generator, just your choice in television programs.

Sorry about that. Gas fumes make me edgy. It is fun to watch the extreme side though. I'm more of a survive a natural disaster guy. Maybe a week at the most. After that I'd have to "rough it".

Can't argue with you there, but it is fun to watch the extreme side. I'm more of a survive a natural disaster guy. Maybe a week at the most. After that I'd have to "rough it".

Honestly, Doomsday preppers (the families portrayed) are a little extreme... but being preppers, we can all probably take something out of each episode. I know I got a couple ideas, and I am thankful. There are worse programs out there to watch and rot your brain with.
