I know there have been some posts, but who is watching.
I'd have already been in a fight with the marauders. |
|
Just flipped it on. They are actually putting out useful information. Might have to keep it going.
|
|
Been trying to watch here at work. I'll give it another look when I get home (DVRing it). So far so good.
|
|
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.
|
|
ok for how long or how much water could be filtered through their filtration system before changing the sand and charcoal
also i see they will make a mistake. security..... there needs to be someone on patrol at all times... |
|
Didn't like the layout of the show. I realize it's the first episode but it's jumping around with no sence of direction. Swtiched over to "The Office" at the first commercial break.
|
|
oops they just touched on security
i would have a weapon for sure... but then again i lost it all in my boat accident... |
|
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. |

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

The handyman Mike = ARFCOM (attitude wise)
Its clearly obvious he's going to cause friction among the others |
|
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. |
|
Blond chick is kinda hot.
Good breeding stock for re-population |
|
My greeting of survivors would go like this: "F you Arock". If an appropriate response is given, I'd let them in for a bit. If they answer is "WTF", that means it's time for them to go away.
|
|
Did they really just use their batteries for a big ass light array?
What a waste |

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. |

The factory is way to big for the number of people they have. There is no way that it is in any way defendable
|
|
not only should they have left the city, but they also should be able to pillage.
Also, I would have told the visitors to FOAD. |

If you were to be stuck without your preps with a group of random people, this is what you would face. |

leave major cities.... first place they went wrong... For sure. If every one else is dead it should'nt be to hard to find a truck, hit a few stores to collect supplies and head for the hills. |
|
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.
|
|
Dang....I wanted to see this and didn't know it started tonight!...
I guess I'll catch the rest of the first episode later tonight.. |
|
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.

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... |

guys on motorcycle gets .223 bullet to head.
new motorcycles gained... oh shit their acting now.... kick the cigarettes, kick the booze,, what good would that have been if you would have gotten hurt.... that part sucked.. |
|
I would enjoy the setup if there was a paintball type aspect to the raider/defenders.
|
|
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.

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. |
|
Quoted: Blond chick is kinda hot. Good breeding stock for re-population I would prefer the marine biologist. Hotter in the sack. Plus ER nurses get that bubble butt by age 30 which means you would only have 2 years of fun. |
|
another point is where are their firearms? F that S... I'd volunteer as the sniper and pick people off from 600 yards all day long. Just keep me fed and I'll take care of the marauders.

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. |
|
Quoted: Saltpeter from sewage and ash? The ash provides potassium, most nitrate in waste is sodium nitrate. Well, they found charcoal... |
|
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!!!" |
|
Inverter fail. One battery with an internal short would bring down the entire.
|
|
are all of those batteries sitting directly on concrete? idiots....

Quoted: are all of those batteries sitting directly on concrete? idiots.... Do tell. |

I'm a half an hour or so behind. First night and they didn't bother to secure their perimeter. STUPID.

did he just say 144 gallons a day per american in water consumption?
we r pigs... |
