Is Mike Mester on Doomsday Preppers Right?

By Terrance Franklin


Mike Mester is a logistician having an uncanny capability to store food efficiently (pun INTENDED). Apart from training his spouse and children he is the very first person on Doomsday Preppers to display interspecies preparation, having an army of dogs that would make Cesar Millan blush.

1. Rioting and Unrest

Mike is preparing for civil turmoil caused by a worldwide financial collapse. While I have discussed the likelihood of a total economic collapse in the past, the notion of preparing for civil turmoil is a form of prepping which catches lots of different scenarios within it. The human aspect is probably the most unstable facets of an emergency condition. It doesn't matter what happens, if the infrastructure goes we will have 3 days worth of food items in the food stores.

2. 'Five minutes before the prom is not the time for you to learn how to dance?

This is most impressive quotes from the show and some thing that Mike has summarized in over ten years of prepping. Slow and steady is best route to take for many preppers, it's easier on the budget to prep over time and regularity can produce good habits. Mike has utilized his information about warehousing logisitics to arrange three rooms of items, sufficient for two years for ten individuals.

One problem regarding the setup transpiring is that Mester is expressing very little regard for the shelf-life of his foods. Although there exists a distinction between expiration dates and what might support life, there is absolutely no reason to tempt destiny and let one's meatloaf rot away in containers. Food reaching the end of its life may be rotated, retaining the freshness. Kellene Bishop had an incredible technique of doing this and if applied it could avert a big surprise. If food considered to be steady wasn't in edible condition, it would be a bad day

3. Keeping the home safe

It was fantastic to see how prepared the Mester family was when it came to self-defense. Getting each and every loved one armed and all set to defend themselves is a long way ahead of a few of the other preppers we've seen who rely on one or perhaps a couple of members to secure the group. With downtown Atlanta only forty-five miles away, looters could be on their home in weeks if not days.

The addition of attack dogs is yet another good line of security against both equipped and unarmed prospective raiders. The violence factor of dogs is an intangible way of getting looters to stay clear. Also in a team of people, no one wants to be the first person to have their arm chewed up. If things got violent, it is certainly preferable to lose a dog when compared to a loved one if the most unfortunate were to happen. At the end of the day it is a great kind of safety, and the inclusion of 10 pups can make it even better.

4. Fuel Briquettes

Mike has a great concept in the type of newspaper/foliage briquettes that can be used as a fuel resource for fire. As someone living in Canada I can't understand why he would be concerned with keeping the house warm in Georgia but it's an awesome idea nonetheless. The reality that the idea came from third world countries is interesting. The ways many individuals in those circumstances use materials do not require infrastructure thereby the techniques can be extremely useful to preppers.
