Ben Fogle"new lives in the wild". - bigpaul - 18 August 2015
was watching the last in the present series last night, a couple with 2 teen age children crofting on the island of Rum. the wife was talking to Fogle and she said "When the S..t hits the fan(we will be ahead of everyone else)", Fogle either didn't pick up on it or he ignored it, but I was intrigued, its the first time I've heard a british person say it on TV.

Did you not see the UK version of Doomsday Preppers?

We don't have a TV, so I don't know if it's on freeview.
I was just surprised that you'd not heard the expression WTSHTF, on TV before. That's all. Didn't realise you'd not seen the UK Doomsday Preppers programme. NR used to talk about it and the American version too.

yes I saw the first episode on youtube ages ago, but like I said its the first time I've heard someone say "WTSHTF" on mainline TV.

Yes I noted it as well at the time, I would say they were clearly preppers.

I do think they picked the wrong location, the weather was too inclement most of the time and the ground was poor, but maybe that was all they could afford.

There's a reason the land is so cheap, because it is marginal land only fit for subsistence crofting.
