i am still suspicious....anytime anyone says they are a film maker in anything remotely linked to survivalism....cos their all as bad as each other...even if it isnt the same Naomi!(bit of a coincidence..both being Naomi??)

no serious prepper would be filmed, too careful of their OPSEC, course there are plenty of armchair "preppers" only too happy to have their "15 minutes of fame"!

At least they're not posing with .22 rifles, wearing a comically serious face, like those other idiots with no OPSEC

Or wearing bloody ridiculous T shirts with PREPPER and their URL emblazoned for all to see

Well they are already keeping a running blog so a video would be a good commercial venture cos like it or not theres other preppers around with an eye on boats looking for useful tips and info.

No serious prepper would be a member of a forum like this, no serious prepper would post about their preps, weaps, foods, numbers, plans, location, views, identification tags, the list goes on, we are all guilty here, what should we do, not have a life and maybe hide under a rock waiting for something bad to happen as life passes by.


OPSEC now unless you all are adding misdirection to your posts then I say this forum does not allow you to OPSEC, the truth is we come here as a place to chat and talk about a hobby we share an interest in, it’s called prepping, anyone can read what we say and I am sure they do.

[bigpaul]

there is 1 thing coming on a forum having a chat with like minded people...but at the end its all a "Virtual" world...until we meet at a RV none of us knows what the others look like, its completely another thing putting your whole life on film for ALL to see!

[Hrusai]

amen to that BP

ditto to nemesis

personally alot of what i say is true, but not everything

and my views on prepping are that its good to be prepared, but not to the extent that it totally takes over your life, whats the point of preparing for the future if your missing out on today?...prepping is a hobby, albeit an exceptionally useful hobby with many bonus's, but a hobby nonetheless, and we are essentially a big hobby group!

[bigpaul]

aint that the truth? and a hobby is what it will stay, albeit a serious hobby-well in my case it is, until and unless TSHTF then it becomes real life!

anyway, back to the main thread, if you really were a survivalist, worried about the state of things would you really go to a rag like the Daily Mail or any newspaper come to that, and tell all...with photos..?
