Are Doomsday Preppers Paul Range and Gloria Haswell Right?
by Terrance Franklin
After rewatching the very first episode of doomsday preppers it became obvious to me there is a lot of video content to do a blog post on each and every episode. Instead, I will be breaking it down by all the survivalists listed and going through point by point. And so we'll begin with Paul Range and Gloria Haswell - among the most detailed preppers highlighted on the program.
Prepping full time
Paul and Gloria have the specific benefit of being retired, allowing them to prep full time. Obviously, this has resulted in one of the most extensive preparation plans I have ever observed. The ability to cook 8 meals a day makes the stockpiling alternative very practical, however regrettably it is a plan that can not be carried out by a lot of people with work, kids as well as a life. Their technique shows a very labor intensive strategy, something comparable may be accomplished without the work if there was a lot of cash to be spent however it's not realistic to the vast majority of people around.
Prepping and hunting
Really liked the footage of Paul butchering a deer and transforming it into rations. It was just on the screen for a couple of seconds but with time this could be the best way to get meat cheaply and understand some abilities for a post-apocalyptic world. While it is meant for the stockpiling form of prepping it additionally develops the potential for Paul and Gloria to survive when they bug out.
Magnetic polar shift- realistic?
I wasn't sold on Paul and Gloria's cause for prepping of the polar shift causing a sequence of earthquakes as well as continental shift. Going through the geological report there has just been one speed for continents moving, and that is slow. If polar shifts triggered enormous geological activity we might be able to view it in the record 400,000 years back when it is proven to have happened. Compasses would point in another direction but we probably would not be witnessing snowfall in Texas if it happens. Regardless, they are well prepared for nearly anything with their set up.
The fort
The castle like fort (showcased above) is among the coolest bug out places I've ever seen. Seems as if it came from Road Warrior (can you believe?). With the low-priced, sturdy material of shipping containers it appears like something that could be replicated. There are homes made out of shipping containers in Amsterdam and they have been believed to be an inexpensive strategy to build homes in Haiti too. They make an excellent foundation for survival locations.
Electricity sources
Truly impressed by the completely off the grid power supply, which includes methane from livestock along with other waste products. The idea of lighting up a gas stove appears like a luxury in a post apocalpytic world and the reality that it could be made out of waste is extremely intriguing. This would as well prepare them for any type of energy related crisis and while pricey up front, keeps the running charges down over time.
Getting out of dodge
The military schooling of Paul and Gloria's team truly excels through in their bug out convoy plan. The concept of rounding the wagons is extremely interesting. The idea of trying to find the drop on 22 fortified marines doesn't sound quite interesting to any would be raiders. This even signifies that bugging out with a group may have its benefits, generally quick is much better but with coaching a team can get to that level of speed.
