I watched this mainly to see how the subjects of the program would be treated, and was pleasantly surprised. I was dismayed that all but one of the subjects rejected the changes that the experts suggested. The two families from South Carolina had the best set-up for long term, but the experts were dead on about the visibility.

How often do they have this on??? I just happened to find it on and hit the start over button on the tv.. Thought the people in arizona with the converted pool was neat.. Plus have the goats.. I wonder just how big their back yard is..
We live in town.. they say we can have live stock but there is now a 300 ft rule.. Hardly anyone quailfies for that now days...
wish hubby was here to watch it... I've been trying to convince him we need to get some land with water/ and or be able to dig wells etc.. and work on fixing it up as a place to go..

Any way of seeing this without a TV? The preview is tantalizing!

Greetings folks,
I found this summary of the National Geographic show you mentioned on another site. It seems to give a good synopsis.
It might be useful to compare their impression to your own.

Doomsday Preppers and the Story of the Three Little Pigs
National Geographic channel showed a documentary last night about
families preparing for various interpretations of what they saw to be a
'doomsday' coming within the next 18 months. For one it was a nuclear
holocaust. For another a gigantic plasma pulse from the sun. For others
it was nameless premonitions about something about to occur with both
the economy and the environment. It was interesting from the standpoint
of how many people are silently taking notice of what's going on, not
blinded by the lack of media coverage or the lies of the politicians.

Some of the families had built up supplies and self-preservation methods
in their suburban homes. Some had joined with other families in the
countryside to prepare. One had built a subterranean 'cabin' out on a
friend's farm an hour and a half's drive from the Utah city he lived in.
Each of the families shared their particular preparations and then
'experts' critiqued the preparations. All had vast supplies of food
stored, survival equipment including weapons, water storage or proven
supplies available, and all had 'bug out' backpacks ready in case of
quick exits needed from their residences. Many also had prepared for
growing their own food stuffs, or livestock and chickens or fish ponds
for raising more meat. Everyone of them got A grades from the experts
with certain caveats depending on their personal situations.

One family were warned to include more of their neighbors so they would
not be such a target for those who wanted to take their stocks from
them. Another group were warned they were too high profile with the
preparations as well. One family living in the heart of Phoenix were
warned they had no escape plans made or available due to the situation
of their home.

The man with the subterranean 'cabin' was told a) he
worked too far from his family, always being on the road as he was, and
thus unprepared for the unknown timing of an event to happen.
All the families had done weapons training, even with their kids, and of
course the ex-military man was most prepared to kill anyone who
threatened the stash he and his family had made.

None of the families had thought about going beyond their own fail/families to create an even
wider support system in the event of something happening.
Lots of good ideas came from each and every one of the families and
their particular preparations. Like the story of the three pigs and the
wolf who blew their houses down, however, the only thing none of the
families had planned was the most likely beginning event of what is
really to occur -- the intense and unexpected winds of 2 - 300 mph that
would blow away all their preparations as well as them, except of course
for the man who built underground an hour and a half away from his home,
preparing for a nuclear holocaust. He is like the little pig who built
his house from brick. Unfortunately he doesn't live in his little brick
house so the big bad wolf will have a field day with him. And since
he's waiting for the wrong catastrophic event to happen he won't be
focused on what's really to occur and won't be looking in the right
direction when it eventually comes.

Take a look at the videos and news footage of Joplin, MO and Alabama and
know that a 200 mph wind strips the bark off the trees and flattens
everything in sight. 300 mph, all that is left is toothpicks and things
that have been stored or hid out deep underground. Nostradamus has an
image in his Hidden texts of wealthy appearing men gathering the bark
from trees to eat as a sign of how these times will soon be.

Most of us are even too dumb to learn from such childish fairy tales and
will soon pay the price for our adult overthinking. Most of us don't
even pay attention to the Native American stories about surviving the
shifts between worlds by being underground and 'emerging' into the new
4th world. It's good that so many people will be leaving soon, people
who don't understand the meaning of the word 'village' nor the concept
of 'greater good'. As one older man said to me the other day in an
e-mail, he's ready to leave. He knows these aren't his people down here
and he's ready to go home.

For me home is here for the work is not yet done. Decide where your home
is or better still ask your Higher Guidance where you home is in these
coming days and prepare accordingly

I have been trying to grow duckweed for years....not for me, but for the ducks. 18% protein is high in a plant and it is easy to grow. The problem I have been having is Shelley, my troublemaker duck, has escaped the pen and gobbled it all up on several occasions. NOW I have an upper pond she can't get to even if she escapes the run. So of course the fish are eating it almost as fast as it grows

That little snippet gave me the incentive to keep trying since it is people edible as well. I haven't been brave enough to taste it yet though

Oh this reminds me, we have it recorded on our DVR. I haven't watched it yet, but I caught a few minutes of it the other night.

Thanks so much for posting the link!

Absolutely amazing what the couple did with their swimming pool. Except for a nuclear event, I'd place my bet on the people in South Carolina. What a set up!

Oh how I love YouTube- thanks for posting that! That is a really cool use for a swimming pool- regardless of what you think of the future! I was kind of disappointed they were eating Ramen noodles...
