I think John had it right - it must be intended to be a parody - I'm sure there will be a punchline in the main film

I think so too. Or maybe it's like the old Army or Navy training films that always featured some soldier comedically doing it a bit off to make the point. http://youtu.be/1wnGEPXshmM

I may have to watch it again. I thought he was using commercial cammo face paint like hunters use.
Hi Whiskeyfox,
I think you'll enjoy making the series and a lot of people will enjoy watching it!
I'm interested in what kit people carry and have watched a few videos on peoples' bug out bags.
It's sad when you can tell the knife they're carrying has barely been used, their firesteels still have the coating on and their bags look brand new. Yet still the videos get thousands of views!
I think your series will get a lot of views and subscribers, and I think that showing how to use the kit, and making it into a bit of a drama is quite an original & cool approach instead of just making another video showing the contents of a bag!

(Can't get the trailer to work on my work network, will check at home)
I think that the idea that you articulated is a great one - show the contents of your bug-out kit in use rather than treating it like a shopping list. It's fine to say that you want to carry a small petrol-driven chainsaw, but why should your viewers sacrifice the weight and space for it? (that was a facetious example). The contentiousness has arisen from the scenario element. Once you move beyond the 'I need x to do y, here's me doing some y' idea to depicting more complex scenarios, you move into themes and ideas which are naturally coloured by the wider politics and social ideas of prepping, that you may or may not subscribe to. But depicting those themes tends to imply that you want to lend credibility to them. Some people think that the typical modern day prepper scenarios of sudden social collapse (as opposed to the old nuclear holocaust tropes which were a lot more plausible in their times) are kind of a product of some pretty fruity politics and cultural tendencies. In fact I'd go as far as to say that many preppers seem torn between a desire to be free of the constraints of government authority and a fear of the consequences of government authority failing. So if this comes across it probably does freak some people out, or appear comical, if they don't share that pretty specific set of views or expectations. That's more a general comment of how prepping appears rather than a criticism, generally or specifically of what you're doing (since I haven't seen it). But there is lots that you could do with the idea that doesn't necessarily go down the "OMG generic poop struck the propeller and now ravening hordes of OTHER PEOPLE are going to kill us and steal our food!!!"
Also, I've heard that if you switch the light off and whisper '.45 ACP' 3 times whilst looking into a mirror, santaman2000 appears and hands you a Glock.

I'd never give anybody a Glock. A Colt or a Beretta maybe. Or even a Ruger or a Springfield Armory. But never Glock. And I can't be around mirrors

I know I can't prove it, but when I hit 'post', I knew that the mention of the pistol-shaped hand grenade would get a response like this! I didn't expect it so soon, since it must be about quarter to 10 in Florida.
Nowt wrong with a Glock - you use it to get back to your 686
I have no idea whether you're talking about the EEC directive on standards harmonisation of personal protective equipment, or the UN resolution on suspension of hostilities with Iraq.

LOL. I can't reallt find any practical reason to fault Glocks. I even shot well with the one I was issued. Just never really liked the feel or the look of them. Nothing wrong with the 686 either, in fact I like it! But I'd rather have a Trooper or Python.
Well it certainly should be part of the EEC standardized PPE!
Pythons are pretty - no doubt about it - one of the prettiest wheel guns made in 357 in fact. Stainless rules for practicality though
Shambling Shaman
Bushcrafter (boy, I've got a lot to say!)
Back in 1999 I was out in the USA and was lucky enough to shoot one, lovely feel and weight to it. (8" version)
