Yesterday, During my chill/cleaning day, I went through my parents DVR passing the hunting shows, the TLC shows, and Adventure Time I came across the winner of them all- Doomsday Preppers. Oh Imagine my surprise. Now it surpassed my wildest expectations, it had layers upon layers of crazy mixed with the obsessed with a hint of redneck. Let me sum this tragic, yet wildly entertaining show up for you. These people go around interviewing the different Hoarders/Preppers/ prophetic people who believe wholeheartedly in what they are preparing for. The Apocalypse.
Now the debate is not exactly when (Because obviously it's going to happen between now and the harrowing 2012) but it is How. Yes I know... How many ways can we die? A. Some believe there will be an economic collapse in which the streets will be corroded with evil police and raiders coming to steal, kill, and destroy. Those are the fans of the Kirk Cameron's Left Behind Series. B. Others yet believe that some catastrophic natural disaster will wipe the U.S. out and cause the A to happen all over again, and yet still others believe that C. A solar flare will cause all of the electricity to forever die and once again... A will happen. Basically A is inevitable.
Some of these people are definitely Redneck and yet some are average people that you would never guess to be this fanatic. One family is from Jacksonville and own their own restaurant and live in Surburbia Heaven. They own over 50,000 pounds of food-that my friends is an elephant. They have an elephant of food in their 4 bedroom home. Another man is selling Condo's built in a missile storage for over 1 million dollars, He is also a real estate agent in Kansas.While another family has built 21 century fortress out of steel cars from the railroad. This is also the man who has taught his livestock to "bug out". A woman has completely sterilized her whole home for the next big "Pandemic" and last but not least the next Crocodile Dundee has taken to the streets to prepare for life in the urban wilderness. Now all of these things are completely extreme, and yet if I am going to be completely honest... I am pretty sure there have been times where I have contemplated the idea of
What if?????
What if the unthinkable happens and the Crazies where right? I mean isn't that always the way??? In 2012 John Cusak meets Woody Harrelson and doesn't believe his nonsensical jabber about the end? In Left Behind no one listens to the black Preacher who looks kinda like Chris Rock?
What would I do?
Would I just take my fate and die like the millions?
Would I want to take the lot of being the only sane person on the island?
The good news is that from what the experts say on "Doomsday Preppers" we have about 6 months to ponder this everlooming disaster. So everyone pack your "bug out" bags and from what doomsday prepper Jason says: Remember to bring Salad Dressing.
