Met a man and his wife at the FW gun show today that were on the show "Doomsday Preppers". I think he said they were on the first episode. They had a bunch of shipping containers and buses.
Didn't seem as nutty in person as they did on TV. They were selling freeze dried food (Thrive). Also pushing a two day bug out training at their compound in San Antonio. Cost was $90. Not for me but you guys closer to SA might get a kick out of seeing the "Compound".

Re: Survivalism
I have a long ways to go to come even close to being ready for a major event. I have the firearm/ammo aspect covered but have just started on most everything else.
I have purchased enough life straws and other devices to filter around 10,000 gallons of water and we keep about a six week supply (family of 4) of bottle water on hand. I plan on expanding the bottle water supply to 3 months.
Where I am really behind (I think) is in food supplies. What we have in the pantry would probably go pretty quickly. This week we plan on taking inventory to see exactly where we are. Then it is a matter of seeing with what and when we can start to fill in the gaps.
The other thing I need to think about is where we would go if we had to leave assuming that travel was even possible. In most cases I think I would try to stay put. If we had to leave I think I would head WNW and look for a sparsely populated area. Once we get everything in place here I will start looking at bug out locations.
