My favorite part of the show was when the L.A. Chick said "I'm eating the fish raw because cooking it reduces the nutrients" while the lower-third said "Cooking fish does NOT reduce the nutrients, however it does kill the parasites"

What I thought was goofy was all the preppers seemed to have one specific scenario in mind as the motive for their prepping (or it least it was presented that way). One guy was convinced the magnetic poles were going to shift, someone else thought there was going to be a massive rupture along the New Madrid fault line. It just sort of made everybody look a little crazy.
It might have been cool just to see some folks who prepare for whatever - earthquakes, economic collapse/ upheaval, hurricanes. There's many reasons to be prepared. Hell I can't believe everyone has to run out and buy TP every time it snows. (really!?!?! you don't have a week's worth of TP on hand?!!?! WTF)
One thing that did resonate with me is the guy who mentioned that the supplies he is storing today are like an investment. The way food prices are rising it's almost like putting money in a tax free savings account.
I assure you that what they were preparing for was totally scripted by Nat Geo writers....
You think growing your own food and raising animals is crazy?
Exactly. Anyone remember Victory Gardens?
There is nothing wrong with being as self sufficient as possible. Our current culture has bred folks to rely on someone else to take care of them in a crisis. People need to take some personal responsibility and stand on their own two feet.
This show is nothing more than the usual "reality" TV garbage. It is not meant to educate; only to entertain the masses.

Did you see the episode where the guy who invented to Crovel (I want one btw) shot his left thumb off. I'm not sure how he was able to get his thumb in front of the barrel.
He said "I had one of those malfunctions where your thumb ends up in front of the barrel".
I wanted a Crovel as well...until I saw it was a few hundred dollars
The reality is this: Unless you can reproduce and raise and protect your family, you are disposable when it goes to hell. I will be expendable, and that's just fine with me.
The Amish will have it made...
There maybe short term unrest like say Katrina where things get "iffy" but in a full blown it's coming to an end situation I agree...99% of us arent making it no matter what you have stock piled.
Your absolutely right the Amish will survive because they have been doing it all along and their since community if an awesome thing. They help each other out which is something we have lost sight of.
