Doomsday Preppers, season 4, episode 5: Shepherds and Wolves

release year: 2014
genre: TV documentary
viewing setting: home streaming 4/21/23

synopsis: This episode takes a look at the preparations of three different families.

impressions: The first prepper (who fears a massive cyberattack that will take down the grid) is a grandfather who built an underground bunker for his entire family; it seemed a bit crowded but otherwise well-thought-out. The second prepper (who fears world overpopulation) has 10 children and 35 grandchildren, and is training them all in the use of weapons. They've also got farm animals and fish to supply food. The third preppers (who fear another Great Depression) are a couple who live in a tiny house where their living space is shared with the chickens and worms they breed, and where they plan to make clothes out of animal hair.

acting: n/a but it's fun to see different personalities and how they approach challenges

final word: This one had some pretty good preparations - the underground bunker which they tested with everyone present, the massive family all learning to fight, the renewable food sources provided by animals and fish..
