These people are NOT off grid survivalists, merely antisocial. They've made zero preparations for survival other than rusty guns and a shared post office box to receive their Fed Welfare and SSI checks. When TSHTF, and their government issued checks are cut off, they will starve to death in the desert. After they run out of ammo and coyote meat they'll be shot dead as soon as they step foot within the nearest town. This is a Zombie breeding ground. Failures in society, failures off grid.

what a bunch of hobo scumbags> thats not living off the grid! this is the type of people that would be among the first to go down if something broke out. this is the last type of person i would be worried about in marshall law because they would be among the easiest to eliminate. just trash by choice is all that is

"this is the type of people that would be among the first to go down if something broke out."

This shows your ignorance of these people. You'd be the first to underestimate them... and 2 seconds later they'd be staring you down with your own gun and leave you naked of food, fuel and shoes.

so is this private land or what?  or are people buying an acre or so?

True dat to the folks posting above, with a few exceptions from a former mesa rat myself. 1. the film crew never came to 3 peaks or the greater solar world where most of the future survivors of the zombie apocalypse built their castles. These people choose to live with none of the conveniences of modern life, but do it in a place that no one could survive without a town run. Robert C. Gordon III is one of the best human beings it has been my honor and pleasure to know.

Fallout anyone?

WHERE IS THIS AT???

Some of the comments I have read are making me quite sad I have many good friends that live on the mesa they are among the most honest hard working reliable humans I have ever had the good fortune to meet.

everyone helps there neighbors the food bank that you say they leach off of is ran by citizens of the mesa.

If you go to two peaks or three peaks and feel threatened by anyone you probably have it coming to you, Its all peace and love until you $&#@ up.

What a nice looking town. I would like to move there. I can hang out at the Barnes and Noble book store while drinking lattes and discussing recent developments in hiding dead bodies.

What I thought I was going to think: "Oh sweet. I wonder how others get by living off the grid"

Actual thoughts: "Fuck that shit"

@martybrasher

Are you serious?

For the record, it's MARTIAL LAW... I'd rather hang out with this "trash" than some judgemental asshole who can't even spell.
