Apocalypse 101
Apocalypse 101
Apocalypse 101 is a new show on National Geographic. It features 4 prior service Marines that have a shop in Colorado. They sell gear and weapons to survive the coming collapse. In each episode of the Apocalypse 101, they teach preppers and survivalist tactics to increase their chances of making it through whatever the future may throw at us. The tips and tricks that the guys of Apocalypse 101 offer up come from a vast reservoir of knowledge that they have taken from their time serving in the Marine Corps.
Apocalypse 101 is not just another Doomsday Prepper reduex, it is a fresh opportunity to learn from men who have proven they have the skills to survive. Doomsday preppers had a lot of good examples of the different methods of prepping. It is a great show to get the creative juices flowing. On the down side, Doomsday Preppers has more examples of what not to do than helpful information. Another bright spot of Apocalypse 101 is that it really seems geared toward education whereas Doomsday Preppers found some less than well adjusted individuals to represent prepper folks. That poor representation served as material that the left could easily use to demonize our ranks.
Apocalypse 101 Episode 1
Here is the first episode of Apocalypse 101. In this episode they help a young prepper take his preps to the next level. They show him how to improve his bug out bag and teach him a few hand to hand combat techniques. The guys also go to another preppers 40 acre lot to help him plan strategic defense tactics. They show him how to use the things he already has laying around to fortify his position and harden his perimeter. They test out the new improvements with a mock paintball assault on him and his wife. The couple fights well, but they see how much they still have to learn if they want to be truly prepared.
I appreciate this new production and encourage you to check it out if you are not already a fan. Each week, new customers bring the guys of Apocalypse 101 new challenges. They assess the customers preparedness and help them develop skills and strategies to be better prepared.
Happy Prepping!
Thanks a lot for this. It’s really great to finally have some “representatives” who don’t seem like outcasts. I hope this helps at least a few people realize that survivalists are normal people just like everyone else.
Do you happen to know by any chance how often new episodes will be released?
Watched it! Loved it!
Thanks for posting this Mark! This is definitely a more helpful show than doomsday preppers. Like the husband and wife I would have a hard time relying on other neighbors, but it may be necessary to band together in a teotwawki scenario.
