Some of the people on there are great people but are made to look like nuts. The first show had the woman receiving a truck load of supplies in the middle of the night to show her paranoia but it was their idea to do this not hers.
It is getting people talking. I think my friend said there are 4000 AR15 rifles being sold every month in the US. People are starting to doubt the gov will save them.
There is a fine balance tho. The gov doesn't want independent people preparing and will eventually seek to stop or limit this.
