Tonights episode "Pain is Good"...

Meet Craig, a proud Alaskan living in the woods of Fairbanks, fearing the collapse of the American economy. He's secretly built a bug-out dome, designed by friend and prepping partner Don. Accessible only by boat, the dome will serve as a refuge for his wife and two daughters. Then we follow David, a new age spiritual prepper from Hawaii, who fears a catastrophic tsunami will strike the island but has prepped with his girlfriend to bug out to the top of a mountain.

Hmmm...Somehow I get the feeling this featured person is going to make Hawaii look like a state that's full of fruitcakes.

I'm predicting 6 months survival.

Yup.

He's not entirely wrong in his approach and he's in one of the few places on earth where almost nothing is so poisonous it is going to kill him. But purposely bugging out with nothing - not even shoes - is stupid. I know some really hardcore folks who can walk into the wild with nothing and survive so I know it can be done that way... but "your body is an antenna" isn't their Plan A. Idiot. There are plenty of high quality edible foods and about 2 monhts of effort would give the 2 of them a good working knowledge.

Given that he and the other thousands that escape the wave are going to be competing for the same few berries left on the mountain top I'm guessing these 2 aren't really thinking this through from all angles.

Bug out to the top of a mountain? Ha ha ha ha..........he wasn't here a couple of years ago with our tsunami?

What happens when it gets cold at night.

What island?

He "asks" for a blanket from a higher power or just cuddles with his silicone girlfriend.

My son thought the same and blurted out: "Fah-ken HIPPIES!" I couldn't help but laugh and say "Eh, watch your mouth!"



I think the show is just entertainment at this point. The Alaskan guy in the first part was right...those practical prepper guys don't know shit. People with the right skills can (and do) spend a lifetime living in the wilderness, but they only got 17 months?? And then 3 months for the piss drinking barefoot idiot? Nope. Anyone who's been in Waimea valley knows he'd be lucky to survive 3 hours and that's IF he even makes to shore and up the trail before a tsunami hits.

Only 3 months survival

What a kook!   

LOL

Must be one of the guys who jumped in the harbor to stop the Superferry

shit and im working there this week.

Actually got to watch the episode last night.  My take on things;

The guys in Alaska, if they are for real subsistence people, they can last a pretty damn long time.  I agree with the guy on that.  The security issue though, unless they are willing to kill someone, they are toast.  I don't think they understand what it takes especially if they think their little dome is "bullet proof."

The Kauai hippy dude............what a moron.  He is going to get the shits from drinking that water.  He is going to get sick from eating the wrong berry, plant, root sooner or later.  He is going to get an infection and have to have something amputated.  That being said, I like the rack his gf has.

Just watched it!  Smh on the 2 Hippies!  No prepping skills at all!  No knive, shoes, proper clothing & shelter!  In his final assessment he decides to add a knive, rope & a lighter!  How u gonna kill a wil boar and make smoke meat!  Lmfao!

Don't have a TV at home, but by reading this, I was thinking WTF??

Everyone knows a knife, rope, and at least two Bic lighters are the first things in a survival kit!  Any rope is nice, but 550 works great since you can gut it and use the same lengths for multiple uses simultaneously.

unless of course he prays to mother earth and asks her to watch over him while he drinks and eats then of course he will live at least 3 1/2 months...easy!!

Yeah that wasn't working so well when he drank that water........just asking for some leptospirosis.

"da kahuna gon' take kea' us"

yeah I was thinking the same thing, just had to shake my head when he did that

Is it just me or did anyone else get the impression the Silicone MILF was not at his side when he decided to take his dog and bug out at the very end? She probably didn't like the idea of drinking his piss and left his candy ass. Did you notice also when they were climbing the mountain that she was not only keeping up with him but she didn't seem out of breath when he was having a hard time catching his?

Lmfao when she didn't want to drink his piss!
