I know there have been some posts, but who is watching.
I'd have already been in a fight with the marauders. |
| I don't like it. The first thing I would do is get as far away from cities as I could. And I would not only be looting grocery stores, but also sporting goods for guns as well as camping and survival gear. But I guess that city folk would probably not want to leave the places they are familiar with. |

Also they are putting out good information without freaking out the masses. |

Ok... it's already taking a dive... too much reality show behavior. This Michael guy is definitely playing a part. I thought it was going to be all about shit you can do to survive... not how to act like a bunch of bitches. You could catch the "reality show" vibe from the commercials. I realize it can only be "so real" but this just seems bad. As for relaying to the masses..I'm not sure how many of the "masses" would watch it in the first place. I've asked around the last couple days and I haven't heard of anyone planning to watch. |

If you were to be stuck without your preps with a group of random people, this is what you would face. |
| I'll give it a few episodes. The problem with this "show" is going to be how far they allow it to go. They can't allow people to murder, rape etc etc, but, it's also a sure fire thing in a situation like this. When the marauders show up, simply talking it out MAY work once, but not every time. |

Quoted: If it was real the blond chick would get a train run on her, and Michael would have been bludgeoned to death within the first 48 hours. Awesome!!! And so true... take the pushy alpha male out of the equation... he'll eventually turn on everyone. They should have dipped into the wealth of knowledge from all of the EOTWAWKI survivors on AR15.com.  This is looking more like Survivor: Warehouse Edition or Mtv's Real World in Jericho |

A looter is a dead man ...I don't care! There is a survival forum...Go check it out. You might learn ways to avoid becoming the enemy of those of us who prepare for TEOTWAWKI and SHTF events... |

Quoted: They need guns. That would take care of the maruaders taking their crap and also any other of these "security breaches" they're going to have. Nothing says GTFO like some well placed gun fire. Or better yet, archery. Or other improvised projectile launcher. Warm, fetid sewage if arms are not allowed. |

first thing i would do would be to take a steel pipe, some propane, a few nuts and bolts, and i could have made a big ass potatoe launcher / shotgun cannon. The producers would have been rethinking the game plan real quick after that. LOL! Classic ARFCOM mentality. I love it. |

There is some serious bad acting going on. So far this is coming off as if most of this is scripted.
Also a TEOTWAWKI situation with NO firearms of any kind gets  out of . Now obviously they couldnt use real ammo, but they could at least use paintball guns or something like that.

How long have they been here so far? The best weapons they can come up with are 3" x 8' metal pipes? This Michael guy needs to get voted out of the warehouse NOW. What a douche bag. And I agree, this definitely won't get taken to the highest level unless they let them pillage and loot, find some guns (airsoft or paint guns or blanks) and are allowed to at least simulate killing intruders and shit. Granted it would never come close to reality since they would be a lot less hesitant to kill someone if it was real, but still. It would make things more interesting. I hope they have them hunting, killing, and butchering some animals. And I hope someone gets a raging case of solanum... or at least crabs ETA: Wow... that many car batteries just to run a fluorescent light? How fucking retarded. They have plenty of light during the day. It's called sunlight. Light at night = "Hey everyone on the outside of the walls... come and try to kill us and take what we have!!!" |
