A resident neighbor of Albemarle Street, who will only give his name as “John”, is appearing on the National Geographic cable channel show ‘Doomsday Preppers”. From the show description:

“Doomsday Preppers explores the lives of otherwise ordinary Americans who are preparing for the end of the world as we know it. Unique in their beliefs, motivations, and strategies, preppers will go to whatever lengths they can to make sure they are prepared for any of life’s uncertainties. And with our expert’s assessment, they will find out their chances of survival if their worst fears become a reality.”

Although “John” says he does not want to give away more information beyond what the show reveals for security reasons, he started ‘prepping’ after George W. Bush was appointed President by the Supreme Court in 2000. Due to his renewed concerns about a nuclear accident, “John” has created a bunker within his large basement. In addition to food, water, anti-radiation suits, and guns, he has added at least one comfort snack- many, many bags of pork rinds, bought one bag at a time from local convenience stores. “John” is currently single, though he is searching for a like-minded mate on the dating site, Survivalist Singles. There is no confirmed date when “John”‘s episode will be aired, though he suspects his neighbors will be be asking him more questions when it does. He said he received an “excellent” rating from the show’s experts on his preparations. In the meantime, he may start doing some writing for SurvivalBlog.com.
