So the premise of Colony is that there has been an alien invasion. This one (to the point that I have watched) is definitely suitable for families. Of the 10 people the one to last the longest on their own wins the season. They are completely alone and must survive on their own with a certain amount of gear that is allowed for each person. The premise is that 10 people are dropped off on an island, and they must each stay within a certain area of the island. I’ve watched the first several seasons of this show. I would definitely classify this as ‘family friendly.’ 3.) Alone (Netflix) Do you remember those choose your own adventure books? Well this is a choose your own adventure TV show! Bear sets up a scenario and you get to choose which option he should take and see if that would lead to your salvation or your demise. HOWEVER, if you like the idea of something like that, but don’t want to pay for it, Netflix has You vs. I feel like I learn a lot from shows like this, but at the same time, it’s not likely that I’ll find myself on a glacier and have to survive. You learn survival lessons for different environments from how he survives. Each episode, he is dropped off in a new place. Wild (Amazon – Discovery Channel) is one of the survival shows that I’ve watched and enjoyed over the years. As of the time I’m writing this, it is on Amazon Prime video – and free for those who subscribe to their Paramount channel. If you watch nothing else on this list purely for the entertainment value, you have to watch this show. It’s got good acting, you’ll see many actors that you’ve seen in other shows. It’s about them surviving, and learning how to live in this new world while figuring out what and who caused the attack. This one little town of Jericho, located just east of Denver, survives the attack. The premise is that there has been a coordinated nuclear attack on most major cities in the United States. I can’t believe they only made two seasons of it, and of all the prepper-minded people I’ve spoken with on this topic Jericho is usually mentioned as being one of their favorites too. This is probably my FAVORITE preparedness show of all time. Unfortunately, not all of them are free today, but they are still among my favorite preparedness shows. Some of the movies and shows will not be appropriate for kids, and some of them will.Īll of these shows at one point or another were free on Netflix or Amazon Prime video.

On the other hand, since by Christmas break, we’ve usually watched through all our Christmas movies, having a stash of prepper movies or shows that my kids can watch too is a fun way for us to spend some time together. And what better kind of show to sit down with and watch than an action/adventure show from which I can learn preparedness lessons. Sometimes, the most relaxing thing is to shoo them off to bed (which is much later than it used to be) and sit down with a good movie or show. As a homeschooling mom, I’m surrounded by little (and some not-so-little) people ALL DAY LONG. As an extrovert, I am energized by people to a point. But I really love the ambiance in our living room after our kids have gone to bed.
