IrelandGreenhorn Grove wants a grandmother on the apocalypse squad
Matthew's zombie-preparedness Short turns six years of homesteading into a lesson in respecting practical experience.

Story of Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.
Are you ready for the horde??
Who would Matthew want beside him when the zombies arrive? An experienced country grandmother, rather than the gym bro. His most-watched new upload, "Are you ready for the horde??", makes its survival advice a joke at his own expense.
He once watched The Walking Dead imagining he would handle the apocalypse brilliantly. Six years of homesteading have revised that assessment. Neighbors who can repair things and preserve food have given him a different measure of readiness: "What I call survival skills, they call Saturday."
The Short has drawn about 27,000 views, the largest audience among Greenhorn Grove's three uploads this week. "Apocalypse Squad Part I" followed, and now has the busiest daily viewing of the channel's videos, narrowly above the original. "Stocking the freezer" supplied a more everyday counterpart, while October's "Five things our grandparents looked for in land " remains another active draw.
Viewers have carried the grandmother argument into a discussion of community: several emphasize having people with different practical skills, while another asks for book recommendations. The joke about fitness also gets a qualification from a viewer who thinks staying in shape deserves a place in the plan.
The subscriber count held steady, and daily views are currently below half their usual level. Among nearby outdoors and homesteading channels, Family Farm Life and SilverFarms had much larger viewing weeks. Matthew's distinctive contribution is the admission behind the apocalypse talk: moving to the country taught him how much he had yet to learn.

I seen a good comment yesterday that said, "The zombie apocalypse could be anything- weather, power outage, health problems, etc. It's just a good idea to be stocked up on needs."
