Thank you AMC's Walking Dead

Watched The Book of Eli last night - this thread is quickly turning into my number one source for movie recommendations

Movie source?! These are guides to survive worst case scenarios...

28 Weeks Later is awesome too.

THANK YOU MOTHER NATURE!!!

An estimated 500 red-winged blackbirds were found lying dead or dying along a quarter-mile stretch of Louisiana highway yesterday!

The incident comes just three days after the deaths of 3,000 blackbirds in Arkansas and over 100,000 fish washing up on a 20-mile stretch of the Arkansas River.

So, with that seed planted in the wifes head....here is my wish list!

Clint... we're worried about you. I need to talk to your wife about an intervention.

Not sure if this would be perfect for a post apocolyptic world.

Though maybe a fuel can that looks like a toolbox might be even better.

Clint,
Don't listen to Tony. We all know it's not a matter of IF we will be dealing with zombies in the future, simply a question of WHEN.

Stay prepared and keep the Rover packed.

So I am watching AMC replay the first season, which makes me think of this thread. I ask myself, why didnt they use an old Landie? It would be PERFECT! The answer? They did! I just happen to look up and catch a glimps of it.

If you watch the episode where he wakes up in the hospital, you'll see it. Below are some crappy phone pics of my TV screen...its an 88" Series.

Cool thread... If we ever ever have an event that plunges even part of the country into total anarchy, real live people will be scary enough and I don't want to be trapped in an urban area. Unfortunately I will probably be on duty and neck deep in the crap.

Someone of you may be aware that there are thousands of threads in many BBS forums about this subject, which once was the exclusive territory of maladjusted rednecks and wanna-be tough guys, but now has a mainstream following- and continues to bloom an entire subculture, consumer market, and ever-growing lexicon... google "Bug-out bag", or "TEOTWAWKI" for example.

And "bug-out bags" are all the rage in yuppie survivalist circles. Fun, thought-provoking reading...

If you are at a bookstore, check out Make Magazine this month. They have a monthly challenge on situations and they have one on a zombie attack this month.

So maybe we can fuel our vehicles after 'the fall'.

Basically the thing is a still with a temperature control.

[stomper]

That is seriously a great invention! I would love to see it marketed for residential use. It would pay for itself in less than a year or two depending on the inital price. I assume it could be run as is out of the still just like vegetable oil conversions on desiel vehicles, or converted into biofuel.

There is a PDF you can download on the same page as the video. It looks like they have everything from home to commercial/industrial size models. Not saying you can buy it here but they are available somewhere.

Don't let California know, they'll try to tax it out of existence!

For you zombie peoples out there, go onto the iTunes and download the free podcast; "We're Alive". It is about zombies...and surviving all that crap. Overall, REALLY good podcast, right up there next to The Moth.

Oh and feel free to do like me and "liberate" the old iPod from one of the womenfolk.
