Was the show any good?

Yes, especially the part about the underground bunker/condo built for millionaires to survive just about anything!

And there are 3 vacancies available!

It seemed to be a Public service piece to change the image of "prepping" and get more people thinking that its not for loonies expecting the zombie hordes

Interesting piece, and glad that "prepping" is becoming more mainstream with the population, at least according to this 60 Minutes segment. The whole Doomsday Preppers show seemed to go for the oddball types to make this seem for fringe than reality (of course). However, I tend to go with what the local community Emergency Response Team (CERT) recommends radio wise, begin with a cheap FRS/GMRs radio instead of a Baofeng, unless you like to fiddle with USB drivers and program radios via computer, which also requires computer skills. My own neighbors were able to figure out Motorola TalkAbout series radios, tune on and place onto the same channel, then push the side button to talk. A Baofeng with a full keypad would have been too much for many of them. These are "Walkie Talkies" to them, and many non-radio geeks. Keep it simple. To OP, thank you for sharing, it is always great to see this prepping situation becoming more normal. the government at every level may not be there to help, and people need to take some personal responsibility in life.
