And there we have it.
The DDP / RT public face of UK prepping.

Annie from London (Axe and Aggressive Teddy Bear )
and the lethal Swiss army knife on the bed.

Malcolm Bowler from Buckinghamshire (2 airguns, a xbow, and misc. stick bows )

Simon Dillon from Greater Manchester (Lethal Gas generating baked beans and vicious looking chicken )
Like his storeroom though, hate the hat.

I had stopped crying with laughter as my sides were hurting too much.
No, no good, I'm laughing again. Gawd that hurts!

Somehow I don't think the UK prepping world has anything to worry about. They might have though, especially Anne.
Someone may report her to the Cruelty to Teddy Bears Commission. Poor little mite looks terrified.

On a serious note, though, what on earth did those folks from the UK go on that channel for???
They have made peppers look even more weird - not that I mind too much but we do not need the attention.
I am sure they would have known that they would end up on the radar and later on become a target of the sheeple...or worse...

Good luck to them...

I cannot think of anything positive to say about what these attention seeking people have done, so I wont say any more about it, except I'm soooooo glad I dont know them.

Wow, it looks like UK Preppers suck when compared to those in the US.

[BDG]

Oh, I think it is more like those that are serious do not want it known about and do not see themselves as preparing for some American version of doomsday, but rather prep without reason for that is what they have done.

A lot would not call themselves preppers or even recognise the term. Perhaps small holder, barterer, hunter, farmer and so on. Probably having same dis interest or scorn as other for those that call themselves preppers and advertise who they are, what they have and where they are.

As I say time and time again, prepping is not having years worth of stuff stored up on shelves, buried in the ground, having loads of gold and silver or anything of the sort. It is having the skills and knowledge. Having some things to hand is good, but I see no reason to go mental and have years worth at a time.

Who is going to watch the show anyway? Preppers and survivalists. Who will read the RT article - not many.

[bigpaul]

cant say i'm the slightest bit surprised, the "media"..whether its film,TV or newspapers...will always slant it in their favour to get a good story, if that means making the subjects look like complete idiots then thats what they will do, best to keep out of it and not get involved but it seems you cant tell some people!

[Mandlaka]

Folks will be raiding them when TSHTF!!!

Since they chose to make themselves targets for both the sheeple and TPTB, they will be in the spotlight worse than in anyway they could have thought!

Good luck to them 'cos they will need it!
