It’s likely to be a joke. Made to reinforce the stereotype of preppers as nutjobs. I saw some clips with an insane so called apartment dwelling survivalist, a fat woman who seems to think that post apocalypse she will be the only woman in the country still struggling to lose 100lb, and this guy seems to be part of the cast.

Maybe I am wrong and this will be something useful, but I doubt. My first impression that its purpose is to throw a bone to hillbillies while at the same time to discourage “normal” people from preparing. I sure hope to be wrong and to see something along the lines of The Best Defense on Outdoor channel.
Saw the one with the girl in Houston. Claimed to work out 4hours a day (not likely, unless she was benching twinkies). Halfway through her segment I realized that she was the female equivalent of a mall ninja. I don't know if was because of the bf or she just wanted to be on TV. Her supplies consisted of 12 bottles of water and some dried pasta. She also felt she could barter before she was forced so sell herself.
I couldn't believe it at the end when she said she had joined the military. I would hope that their standards would be higher. She seemed like a nutjob. It also seemed really weird how she talked about her boyfriend, but he didn't seem to be part of her bug out plan (except for shooting her cats and helping her use up her 140 condoms).
The preppers in this episode definitely came across as nuttier than the first one I watched.
Did you notice that the people who were prepping for a major earthquake were storing all of their food in glass jars? D'oh!

For anyone who "is" a prepper, one thing is for sure, if anything catastrophic should ever happen the longest line at your front door will be comprised of your worst critics prior to the event. You know, those very same people who rolled their eyes at every sentence about your prepping yet the very next words out of their mouth were "If anything happens I'm just coming to your house". These are the people you'll need the guns for to protect yourself against.
I know people that part of thier prep plan is to have the ability to take out other preppers,which bugs me becuase he knows where I live.
I watched the first episode. For the most part, it is a show that is going to cause nothing but mockery. The bit with Southern Prepper 1 was good. The rest is not doing the prepper community any favors.
