At this site, we try to take anything we can from whatever we view on Doomsday Preppers. However in due course we should move back and understand that there truly isn't a lot of material to utilize. In the instance of 15 yr old Jason Beacham, we might be in above our heads.
Responsibilities and Prepping
In person I feel the decision of National Geographic to represent Beacham like a prepper is both exploitative and derogatory to the local community. Jason, like numerous Fifteen year old children who wear black, loves talking about anarchy and gathering knives. For food, he enjoys commandeering refined goods from his mother's kitchen and for drills he loves to set fires on discarded properties with his close friends.
I don't have to go into why this won't appear like prepping in any sense of the word. This part showed almost everything the neighborhood hates regarding the show. I have noticed some backlash online directed towards Jason which I feel is really undeserved. We were all kids at one point in time and if we had movie crews following all of us about we possibly wouldn't look smart either. Guys will be guys.
The obligation is upon National Geographic for both bringing this to light for cheap rankings and allowing some very dangerous activity to go on. During the show, Jason and his close friends reached out into the wild without any safety gear, broke into an abandoned residence and lit an uncontrollable fire which could easily have threatened their lives. A film team of grown adults helped all of them to achieve this regardless of their evident shortage of skills all due to 'good television'.
Suppose that Jason and his friends had passed on from the smoke or perhaps caught on fire themselves. I don't even need to think of the lawful ramifications of entering a property on video in the event that it might have been owned by someone.
Lessons learnt?
By the end of the day, perhaps there's a message to be learned in the guidance of young adults in the goal of prepping. Jason's mother had also been supportive regarding the most dangerous of activities such as shooting, but roughing it naturally is one thing that really needs guidance. The boy scouts exist for a reason. At the age of fifteen, Jason and his good friends are kids and it doesn't matter how independent they think they may be- they might be at serious risk if they aren't treated in this manner.
