This is a MUCH better program than things like Doomsday Preppers. While the show does not have the 'Hoarders-Effect' of a show like DP (which really shows the nuts side of preppers) this show has good advice, reasonable guys who have real training in the kind of environment people are most likely to face. For example, (spoiler alert) when a customer comes to the team with the oft-half-baked idea of making an international shipping container into an underground bunker, they debunk the plan by actually having them experience staying in a shipping container for half a day. They have practical information about real scenarios, real needs, and the tactical reality of going it alone versus working with your community. A common sense show for a common sense issue. P.S. (spoiler alert) they make fun of zombie-nuts.

Excellent Show
lennyfrombrooklyn18 January 2015
This show is very good for the beginner. Its full of common sense information and gives you a very good approach to staying alive in a dangerous world. Unlike most of these 'reality' prep shows you see, this is full of sensible information.
What you have are military trained men who have been in combat situations. They show you that you don't need to spend a ton of money on gear but can use common sporting good store equipment to get yourself started. The most important thing is to have the right mindset and come out with a well thought out plan, then execute it.
This is a show for the novice to help get them into the right mindset to explore and eventually get into the more advanced stages of being prepared.
I really hope more episodes come out.
