I watched this show and found it to be pretty good, worth watching.
The guy in the third clip has his sh*t together, alright. Wish I was his neighbor.

Yeah I kinda liked that clip best too.  Was he the one the "experts" though was too vulnerable because it looks like he was advertising survival?  Looks like he has plenty of good sight lines to take care of any zombies entering the kill zone to me.  Who are these "experts" anyway?  Are they identified?

 Not that I saw.I think that whole group ano the farm had it all put together and were willing to stand and fight rather than bug out. But they had some good ideas on every one of the clips.The guy trying it with the pool in town is dead meat.

The "experts"? Notice how "they" never appear on camera? How expert can one be if they're not willing to stand behinds what they say? Some of the insights offered were fair and accurate, but others missed. The pool guy had a good set-up, but wrong location. He needs a tribe. And I think all I saw for firearms was a box of what appeared to be pistol ammo. Better thatn nothing, but he didn't strike me as the type who could act w/out getting stuck on the horns of a moral dilemma about shooting somebody. He'll have it used against him is my guess.

Yeah, he had a good set up. His place didn't look any different from his neighbors what I could see. He had plenty of folks training on firearms and back-up plans and caches...he was just about perfect in his approach and execution.

That's the kind of knowledge that could make one very valuable in these situations, yeah.
It's on my list of things to research. I'll pass on what ever I can, If I actually get one of those round 'tuits!

Yeah, I agree about pool guy and I thought the farm had their poop in a tight group.

Ditto on the mechanical stuff, I need to get better on that side of things.  Right now my BIL has the most knowledge on that score, he buys the farm and were taking a step back.

I might have to look into local vo-tech classes.  Would like to learn welding too.

That round 'tuit list just keeps getting longer!

VO-tech classes?!?!?! What an excellent idea! Duh!
Probably never occurred to me since I can't even drive by a school w/out shuddering. A student I ain't, but this maturity thing might make a difference.
