Preparing for the apocalypse
Post-apocalyptic worlds may exist on the big screen and in sci-fi novels, but that’s where the similarities between a disaster-ravaged planet and daily life in America end.
Or so you may think.
A new TLC show introduces us to the families who live in fear of the apocalypse, convinced by the inevitability of the end of the world as they know it.
Organised by nature: Post-apocalypse life will still involve washing the dishes and taking rubbish out, according to Peggy Layton’s hoarded supplies
But far from admitting defeat, the programme instead focuses on their preparations for life after destruction. And, as TLC shows, survival tactics take on many forms.
Livin’ for the Apocalypse follows four families who are not only predicting the apocalypse but preparing for its arrival. The measures that they are taking now, are they believe, the key to their survival if economic collapse, doomsday predictions, natural disasters, alien invasion, meteor strikes or zombie viruses ever take grip of planet earth.
Meet Peggy and Scott Layton. The parents of seven children, the Laytons believe they are ‘ready for anything.’
