Doomsday Preppers most recent episode

[dville_gt]

not sure how it compares, but i had a .40 s&w fired right next to my fucking head with no warning and no protection and had no desire to cry/vomit/etc.

If I remember correctly he just got grazed or something. I might be wrong. I just fundamentally do not understand how you accidentally shoot yourself in the hand, why would your hand ever be in front of a loaded gun when your other hand is on the trigger?

He's missing part of his thumb almost down the the first knuckle.

Improvised is pretty all inclusive. It's not a bad idea, probably didn't have the brains to disassemble a cell phone to use as a trigger. That would probably definitely get you a visit from the feds.

Claim you're practicing religious freedom

[Jimbo]

LOL. While I enjoy the show, some of it is just difficult to watch because of nonsense like that.
That said, I did fire my 44mag redhawk inside a very large tin building (without hearing protection) once, over 15yrs ago. That was the last time, heck of a lesson.

[slowyellow]

LOL, WTF is about all that I have to say about that.

[Slowhand]

So you're advocating for irresponsibility? I think anyone that doesn't have preparations to sustain their life for even a short period of time (a few months) is ignorant and a fool. Common sense my friend, being prepared doesn't make you an idiot. Dedicating your life to it is pretty crazy though.

Having some shit handy is one thing, going nuts is another. You're going to fucking die at some point anyway, and it won't be a particularly pleasant existence until you do.

[phaux]

Can you imagine him as your dentist, could never look at him the same again. Just goes to show, a degree doesn't make ya smart.

[Forever_frost]

He's going to get a visit from the FBI. Making an IED on TV? Idiots.

I've done it with a .45. Know what I didn't do? Blame the pistol or cry. I went and checked on my fridge that the slug punched into

[HarrisonTX]

Well, looks my my doomsday plan is not prep anything, and drive to this doc's ranch, and waste him from 350 yards, and just use all his hoarded stuff.

What a total fucking bitch.

[GhostTX]

These guys are doomed IRL. Both of them struck me as being complete idiots. The thing about this show is anyone who is a serious level headed "prepper" isn't going to be on a national network's hit TV show.

From what I've seen, every now and then there's a nugget but by and large it's a show of what not to do.

No doubt. People are just advertising for trouble. The one episode that the family basically had a small working farm and stock pond in the middle of a packed subdivision. I'm thinking...ya, they're going to get overrun in the first 10 minutes.

That kinda shit would be absolutely impossible to defend. Middle of a subdivision?

At the least the doc on his 700 acres would see him flying down his dirt road in my duramax from a couple 1000's yards away.

And there was one with hippies showing off their.....get this...unarmed commune that was staffed by very old hippies who had a couple of teens. Their solution if someone comes to mess with them? "We're going to offer them food and water and hope they go away."

[Downs]

They were in the North East somewhere weren't they?

They had a semi-similar group in the mid east somewhere in an old Nike Missile bunker. Bunch of old burnt out hippies sitting around in the a circle playing instruments. His only defense was rusty old SMLE it looked like.

[SS Junk]

Believing the fact that no reality show is 100% real, this falls into that category. I can't believe for a second hearing loss was sustained when the rifle was fired. Seems like nothing more than scripted drama. 140dB with hearing protection isn't anything to cry about.
