“I don’t consider us a quote-unquote “prepper show.” I consider us a show to handle the “what-ifs” of life. And that could be everything from, yes, a global disaster or a simple bike crash, a car accident, or you fall on the ice. I mean, there are all sorts of things that come along that create a crisis, and I want to give people a way to prevent those and or handle them when they come along.” – John Rush
