Yes, some interesting characters on that show...Not all preppers take it to those extremes however many need to do something rather than rely upon the largesse of a government also ill-prepared to cope.
It boggles my mind why anyone would travel to the South Coast for holidays given all the warnings. It's carnage from the media coverage and fuel and food is just disappearing. Not a pretty situation to be in.
Some have though, before the roads closed. @riverflows knows people that went there, her parents friends, who are now stranded in the danger zone. Idiots.
It's a bad situation for sure.
