  • I wish I had your engineering abilities - love that truck!!!

  • Adding the word doomsday would get N Geo more viewers, thats why they did it.I think

  • I missed it, my daughter was telling me about it today. Unfortunately, the showings so far are way too late for me. :( Hoping to find it on hulu or here on youtube. She was most impressed with the truck that runs on firewood! I want to see that!

  • just watched the show...i thought your setup was really impressive...very well thought out

  • I agree not the best title.....mountainman

  • Watched the videos on line and it was good, but they needed to give you guys the same amout of time as they gave the two in AZ.

  • holy shit i saw u guys on tv

  • No matter the title, you guys are always great. Nice work Pastor.

  • Hey engineer775,

    I know you weren't too thrilled with the final presentation of the show, but I think you and SouthernPrepper1 were by far the best prepared and portrayed as the most level-headed of the people presented. You two really are inspirational.

    While it may not have been the ideal presentation, the show has enabled me to use it as an ice breaker to introduce prepping to and spark conversations with non-preppers--one of the hardest things to do.

    Keep up the great work!

  • The takeaway from the show was that with foresight, planning, ingenuity and just plain work one cannot be caught completely unaware and empty-handed in case of a natural or man-made disaster, & that it will take all of our skills to succeed together. The most important words-to-the-wise were something to the effect that it will take days/weeks for the gubermints to respond vitally/fully to a large catastrophe and all of its ripples. Think Katrina, BP Spills, Japan, 9/11, Joplin...ppl, get ready!

  • We had a family "viewing" of the show Monday. You guys were, as expected, fantastic. I think we are educated enough to realize the slant they put on these things, although your segment was pretty darn good. The name was, I agree, disapointing, but you guys are a real inspiration!

  • I want to know who the "expert" is that was rating you guys?

  • I think it was a great show except for the so called experts knocking you guys when really you guys are the most prepped people I have ever seen. I don't think anyone would suspect anything just by walking up to your house that you would have lots of preps or all kinds of systems in place for protection.

    Thanks for what y'all are doing! When I first started watching you and SP1 I was like, 'look at all that shampoo and toilet paper! *looks at my husband* Do we have shampoo?' LOL

  • Thats TV for you

  • You guys should have ask some folks if it was a good idea. I have not seen it but I got some reviews sent to me. You might think about moving seeing how they gave your info out at the start of the show. Believe me every clown that has not prepared will remember your name and what you have! In my opinion you created a terrible situation for you and your family. I know its too late now to take it back but you need to find a way to mitigate the problem.

  • I really enjoyed the program, Southrenpepper1 and yourself did a great job, I do feel sorry for the preppers in the Southwest, they will not make it,.

  • I just watched the show and wanted to thank you for doing the show! It made me think of some things I need to prep on and also, hopefully it opened the eyes of many others!

  • Maybe this show will help get other people aware of the dangers that they should prepare for...though for me,I KNOW what dangers there are but it's hard to prep being an almost broke 15 year old and that my parents don't seem concerned(haven't brought it up with them).I am trying to get some chickens in the backyard though so that's a plus.

  • when you get on there - make sure to mention you are disappointed at the reference "doomsday" prepares - make it clear its nothing to do with the other superstitious doomsday crap out there and purely rational analysis of the disastrous economic situation (debt, unemployment etc)

  • I saw it and thought it wasn't half bad. So now you guys are famous TV stars.......LOL. Take Care :-))

  • Although They did Spin the Show a little You and SP1 came out looking ,well put together and credible just like you are in real life . This Show on Tv will change many peoples lives for the better

    Thank you Engineer775 And Southernprepper1 for taking the risk you took in agreeing to do this show . You may never know just how many people you have helped or inspired to start prepping .

  • Awwww man I just got a chance to view this video. I will have to catch a re-run.

  • Just got done watching the show. You guys did a good job. We're all proud of you. Keep it up.

  • I'm watching you on t v right now it's an awesome show!

  • Just watched it on TV. Y'all did a great job!

  • I'm watching it now. The preppers aren't coming off too well in my opinion. I am uncertain why a prepper would do a nationally televised program. To me that is putting a gigantic bullseye on their homes and family. Bad people won't wait until something happens to steal the supplies. Society would be less forgiving if the preppers shot somone on their property tomorrow opposed to if all heck broke loose. Prep in secret, underground, in a cave and tell noone. Don't give your names and location. :(

  • I missed it!!!AHH!I hope it airs again or I can watch it on the internet

    

  • Awesome god bless, brother

  • Congrats! I don't have tv. Hopefully they will upload it on their website at some point. I would love to see it.

  • Hey CONGRATS! I heard about you from Cody and Sooch. Went to Nat Geo and saw the trailer. Looks great. I know the name sucks but what the heck. We are kind of prepping for a doomsday type scenario even if the rest of the world doesn't want to admit it.

    I'm telling my husband about your channel and the show. I'm going to get him to watch it with me tonight. He is an engineer too and currently working in commercial construction. He could do the things you are doing. I want to motivate him. Subbed!

  • "The Self Sufficient" is much better than "Doomsday Preppers", but wouldn't draw the same number of viewers. Just read an article which talked about "doomsday fatigue" seems most people are growing tired of hearing about all the world's problems. Rather than seeing warning signs, they would rather focus on American Idol, Casey Anthony and the NFL strike. The Future Zombies of America Club.

  • doomsday. haha marketing I guess

  • Hey Cody, Thanks for the video response. Sorry I missed the Blog TV tonight but I will go see if it is archived. The Nat Geo experience has been fun minus a few errors , and slants. Overall, from what I have seen, they are sticking to what was filmed back in February. We asked if we could preview it and they said no. Their lack of fact checking makes them look bad. Take care and may God keep you safe as you process all that awesome timber!

  • @engineer775

    Some of us are ex-felons and can 'never' own, possess, or use a firearm. Any suggestions on how we can defend ourselves?

  • @engineer775 My wife and I watched it last night and really enjoyed it. I agree with you on the title, which I thought wa disappointing. I currnetly serve as an assistant pastor in the midwest and I appreciate your leadership. Thanks for all of your work.

  • What channel

  • Really like the preview. The Title, not so much.

  • Looks good Scott, hope you like the final edit. Fingers crossed!!

  • Awesome job Scott... as I told David I'm proud to be a fellow South Carolinian and to be subscribed to your channel

  • Congrats, Engineer775! I agree with you about the title but hopefully it'll pave the way for other people to prep.

  • Kewl.......clip looks well done...wow David is prepped #LOL

  • Just watched the snipit and I think they did a better job than I would have exspected from a big network...Thanks for all that you and Dav do for us...God bless...

  • you'll be lucky if they don't all-out slam you guys portray you as looneys. that's typically what media does, during filming they make you feel like they are genuinely interested in you, then when it airs on tv they make you out to be a complete joke.

    i hope they don't do that, you and SP1 are good guys, and have taught me alot.

  • Looking forward to watching. It's great that you and Southernprepper1 have put yourselves on the line to help wake up more people.

  • same happen with me on the cbc they called us the doomers

  • Thanks, I already got the dvr set

  • I will be watching but that title is terrible.

  • I just saw the videos. YOU WILL BECOME one of the premier preppers out there bro.

    By the way could you recommend any engineering books to me that could get me on the path to understanding machines as well as you do?

  • @TruthResearchChannel. Well said!

  • congratulations.

  • Well we all know the truth! Hopefully it will wake some people up to the real world

  • don't freak out. it's all marketing and "doomsday preppers" is more impressive = more views. so you can bring the message to more people

  • Got it set to record on the dvr so I won't miss it.

  • At least they didn't title it "Domestic Terrorist Preppers".

  • Very happy for You guy's, watching the clips made me really wish I had cable.

    Hope it makes it's way over to Net flicks soon.

  • They called it Doomsday because the MSM want to portray anyone with independence of food, energy, water & mind, as some undesirable extremist kooks so that the idea of prepping does NOT become popular. However, Nat Geo are usually pretty good.

    The last thing the government wants are millions of prepared and confident people who can look after themselves. The more DEpendent the population are, the more excuse there is for a big brother government to step in and run people's lives.

  • Grats, looking forward to watching it.

  • thanks scott for doing this...just hope they dont make you all to look like nut jobs....i dont think they will you guys are solid!

  • Hey! Scott, Congrats man!!!!!, as I just told David I am sure you guys will represent the prepper community in a good light. Thanks!!!

  • Im looking forward to it too! Despite the bad title, I bet the show will be great. Lets hope they don't pass you and David off as "nut jobs" like the media would...I think the show will help people open their eyes.

  • The best of the best is what you guys are; glad they picked you to feature. Modern intelligent prepping. Imagine the shock some folks will have as they WAKE UP after seeing what you have accomplished through science and hard work. Nat Geo should make a weekly program for prepping topics!

  • Sounds like it will be a mock-u-mentary rather than a documentary.

    Preppers do not necessarily prepare for "doomsday" but rather for the chronic shortages, civil unrest, looting and government sponsored theft (especially via inflation) that have plagued societies repeatedly for centuries.

    Recent riots and looting in europe and the middle east are very similar to the LA riots and the looting during Katrina.

  • @penguinistas That's what I'm worried about.

  • i already have the reminder set on my tv

  • I assume like most media outlets. they are hoping to use the word "Doomsday" to attract more viewers. Too bad they think like that. Great to see you guys doing so good, thanks for sharing.

  • I am guessing the title was made that because they wanted to be edgy to get a few more people intersted. I hope it does not become a theme of the documentry.

  • lets hope they dont make you guys out to be horders or wack jobs . if they do i will be very disapointed with nat geo. keep up the good work .

  • THAT'S SO COOL!!!

  • Just sent Dave my best wishes,now its your turn. Love it!! Getting the message out there. Might make it easier on those of us talking to family and friends. Hey,forewarned is fair warned. Right? Congrats!!!!!

  • DOOMSDAY PREPPERS? How about Common Sense Prepping or Prepping for tough times :)

  • May God bless you fellas and your families for all that you do!

  • Awesome!  Way to go and congrats.

  • Title, description, and words like "compound"....all neural linguistic for what many call "sheeple".....

    you can only do what you can, and much information for those who are not completely retarded at this point, that may use it to benefit their family's and friends.

  • Are you going to move to LA now?? J/K hope I can catch that!

  • Good job guys

  • Good job..... You can change the way someone acts and thinks by proving them the needed information to become informed and make good changes in their life and the way they live. You did it for some with this TV series. Again good job.

  • @NRAshawn Me neither ! : ( We tried to get them to change it to no avail.

  • Awesome... Im proud of you guys!

  • i cant wait to see that

  • I cant wait to see that. Congrats you two. Keep up the GREAT work.

  • That is great..I will be watching for shure.. I have not forgot about your filter. I will try to get it in the male this week. Cheers Brother..

  • @OBXSOLWIND Appreciate the feedback and I do look forward to checking out the filter. God a friend bringing over a centrifuge this week.  Between a good centrifuge and a good filter I should be able to keep the diesels running good round here. I do hope the nat geo thing turns out well! Stay in touch!

  • @engineer775 nice is that for engine oil and stuff to keep it fresh?great work thanks for helping people learn, really like the community structure, thats a huge upgrade in being prepared.i hated they called your work a compound, its media subliminal shit they do to down grade brilliant people,like the ruby ridge and waco shit, they always got to add the 2 cents. i dont know if you guys ever checked out like solar dishes made with the huge 12 ft or bigger satellite dishes,they make alot of power

  • regardless what they call it as long as the message gets out.

  • I just went on nat geo and watched the video previews pretty awesome stuff looking forward to it. Thx for the heads up

  • Looking forward to seeing you both! Hopefully it shows preppers in a good light!

  • Awesome! Congrats guys!

  • Congrats you guys.... looks good, don't forget your old You Tube friends when you become famous... ;-)

  • Comment removed

  • I sure hope they you guys do not REGRET doing this. I know that you guys are only trying to get the word out about preparing and being self sufficient. I do not think that is the intention of the super liberal National Geographic. To Government dependent people we are just a bunch of nutjobs that cling to guns and religion, even if we are more educated than they are (my case at least). Anyhow, I will watch it, and I will still support your channel. Good luck.

  • @alfamax4562 Did you see that Dennis McClung segment? He claims that he is preparing for the end of the world.

  • @alfamax4562 I also hope they are not portrayed in a negative light.

  • Can I have yours and SP's autographs? You're the first preppers I know that have been on tv! I hope you straightened them out and told them were are not militia men wanting to attack Washington. Great video. Thats for the info.

  • Awesome!  Got it scheduled for the DVR

  • just like the media to put a negitive spin on it... BrooklynPrepper and i were also approached but declined for frear of them making us look like nut cases. Hopefully you guys are shown in the positve light, congratz!

  • its amazing how the media can blow up an idea to outragious story.

  • can i have your autograf...........

  • I sure hope they don't spin but that's what I'm expecting. It will still be great to see you both on the tube. Blessings!

  • @BexarPrepper If you watch the trailer ( link above) . They did a pretty good job not spinning it. It was our greatest fear as well. thanks

  • @engineer775 Just watched you both did an amazing job! It's all about getting the word out it will reach some and then the ball starts rolling. Can't wait to watch the whole thing!

  • It sucks they messed you over with the title. Goodluck!

  • @MrDeathstyle Thanks! Once we signed the non-disclosure we were doomed. : )

  • Your cool headed approach will impress listeners and embarass the producer.

  • @InTheSticks0001 Nicely put! Thanks!

  • @InTheSticks0001 yeah, I'm looking forward to it.

  • hope you made a lot of bling bling.

    and they don't make you guys out to look like cooks.

    -TEW

  • @theeastwatch No bling! No compensation. Just a cool opportunity to get the word out!

  • I'll be watching. Thanks for the heads up!

  • LOL,  just like the media to sensationalize.

  • Um, Congrats?

  • actually i dont have natgeo. is there any other way ill be able to watch?

  • @SuperGhillie1 There are 2 trailers you can watch. on the nat geo channel.

    I imagine it will be able to be viewed online after it airs.

  • Hmmm maybe I didnt hit enter...or YT is still mesed up for me...I am excited to see you Movie Stars!!!

    Is it on cable or on line...no cable here, by that I mean we dont have not that its not available....you know what I mean.

  • @Iam1uglyguy There are 2 trailers you can watch. on the nat geo channel. just search for doomsday preppers and go to the nat geo channel and click on the video tab.

    I imagine it will be able to be viewed online after it airs.

  • @engineer775 Cool, I will check it out....if I can ever stop listening to "One Second After"

  • really cool. ill definitely watch

  • glad your going to be on tv hope the doomsday part doesn't cause negative outcome and thanks for speaking at preppers confrence really enjoyed your take on water and backups

  • I think "media" production people must share some of the same DNA with attorneys & used car salespeople; they'll tell you what they have to in order to get what they want from you. Booooooo. I'm sure the info that you & SP1 have will be good, I hope you two didn't get edited to the point of being marginalized. I've already set the DVR.

  • Looking forward to seeing it. Sunday I have a post going up on my blog.

    Awesome!!!!

    Rourke

  • @ModernSurvivalOnline Thanks Rourke! - There are 2 trailers you can watch. on the nat geo channel. I imagine it will be able to be viewed online after it airs. I am not sure what you are posting but the trailer on the Nat Geo channel could be embedded. Just a thought.

  • @engineer775 You got it - already have the video embedded in the post.

    Take care - Rourke

  • Looking forward to seeing you "Movie Stars" on film!!!! :-)

    Is it on the web or just cable. We dont have cable.
