Why an American feels safe holding an instrument of death, (guns), is beyond me. The more people with a gun in their possession advocates and promotes violence itself. They feel that because of a rule, (written 220 years ago when the world was a much more uncivilized place), they are entitled to point and shoot anyone who they feel is a threat to them. Like it or not, the 2nd Amendment needs to be eliminated. America has gun violence that rivals places like Somalia. Think about that.
Some of you commenting seem to dislike these survivalist people?
Why? They simply want to be left alone. It is not like they are groping toddlers and old people at airports while letting Abdulah Akbar in robes and a turban get on without any problem.
@ThoughtTraveler They basically promote the culture of fear, which is what they say the New World Order supposedly wants. Personally, that is my problem with it.
Ignoring the whole armageddon guff underlying their ethos, I do rather like the idea of a self-sufficient community like this. I really don't these folk are mad at all, it's quite a romantic image.
I think these guys are brilliant and they are not harming anyone by choosing to live as they do. They have the same right to defend their way of life as anyone else does.

HA ha ha listen to you guys....this is why the reast of the world laughs at america...he has a right to be a snob top them coz they are thick and stupid and believe in something that does not exist u bunch of inbred white trash american thick twats....
@Hugman77: Those survivalists might be paranoid, but at least every man interviewed on this documentary so far is actually a MAN. The interviewer is an ineffectual pussy. He should show some respect. In some places he'd get his ass kicked for acting that snobby.
I agree! Why the hell give this mini doc. such a silly air about it . Using this belittling asshole of a brit and the down right silly music and his stupid fucking questions. I would punch him in the mouth for mockery. Hats off to the interviewees for putting up with his dumb ass!
I don't think he's cocky or rude, his politeness and affablity is why they open up to him. The humour he injects is gentle and affectionate, it's the viewer's choice to laugh at these people.
I'm sure most people in mainstream American society would probably find these people about as odd as we do, it's just it's probably easier for us to laugh because it's another country to us and there's more of a cultural difference.
There has indeed been a benevolent dictator. His name was Marcus Aurelius. He proved that even a total dictator can be empathetic and just. He was a rare but very real philosopher king.
RFID would be great! i could duplicate someone's with microcontroller based device in my pocket and spoof anyone elses rfid. i could be anyone i want!
He makes these "dangeours people" out to look like terrorist but they Are just storing amo just in case senario. WHichi is getting highly likely considering the way things are going. They arent planning to drive to the white house(get real) its called a last stand senario.
really? i think he is doing a service the people he is interviewing in that he is showing that they are pretty normal and sane people. i know that sounds insulting, but to people who don't share the beliefs and only here the stereotype of people who live like this, that is the image: a crazy psycho terrorist. no matter how "fruity" or "unprepared for combat" the host is, i think he is helping their image and doing a good service to both them and people who don't understand them.
@adamrosio08 In 1997 when this was filmed they would have been labelled that because of Christopher McVeigh and the WTO bombing. Hence in media Extremist Right Wing Survivalists=Terrorists back in the 90s as Extremist Muslims=Terrorists now. Them out in the woods talking about Armageddon and the other group out in some caves talking about Jihad. It's only been just over 10 years but people forgot the 90s already. It's a recasting job of the Boogeyman. Not my opinion.Media is just lazy like that
@AptivaXL It was just a little joke. Yes, Britain hasn't been innocent in the past but then neither have most powerful nations, it's probably just human nature.
@AptivaXL Also a program like this can give off a certain impression about Americans, you know, the guns and all that (Yes, I know these people are a tiny minority)
I would love to join your community, how can I find out more? I do believe and feel certain that all americans are under threat of our government and am willing to take up my arms to defend against our wicked government at any costs. You all have it right, right down to the T!!!
'For an American to live without a gun would be like, you guys living without tea.'
