One thing about the pioneer/survival individual precludes them from offering anyone their plans. They are individuals. They are not groupies. The single example that almost worked was in Kamiah, Idaho. Had Bo Gritz implemented a more complete plan, you would be covering "ALMOST HEAVEN". Had Bo targeted and attracted a higher quality of members, it would have worked.


"We want to show the prepper movement through the story of a group of people attempting to build their own self-sufficient community away from modern society."

Conceive a plan! Build it and they will come!

Sounds like a commune.

Or perhaps a convent. There's an idea for you, no charge.

Quite bizarre - families with no children under 18? - hardly typical or real life. I guess I am comfortable enough with modern society to only want to improve it, not reject it for some fantasy scenario.

By the time I was 13 my dad had me helping with carpentry, plumbing, welding, wiring and driving a tractor. Between infancy and 18 is when we learn our work ethic.

Many gated, senior communities such as Sun City are very plesant. Age, wisdom and a good letter of credit are far from a fantasy senario.

My impression of the TV series is that they are not exactly trying to replicate Sun City. I would agree with your statement about Sun City if by "pleasant," one means "bland" and "untroubled." It's not for me and not much of a thread to continue, either.
