I watch it for the humor factor, so melodramatic with the "experts" comments I laugh out loud!
The only thing that was worthwhile on this show was how to make "wood gas". That's a nice little tidbit I'll keep stored in the back of my mind.

Funny that the Colony has no firearms, but everyone they run into seems to. They had a traveling merchant pull up in one episode that had a M2 mounted on the back of flatbed truck. The merchant had a sidearm on.
You gotta love anything that goes BANG!!!
And one of the other "merchants" had an AK.Originally Posted by Moped
I can't imagine going into that situation having zero firearms.

Also showed you a simple way to filter water, dunno how well it actually works, haven't looked it up, but if it does, that was kind of a useful tidbit, and simple to pull off.
If you're outside LA after the apocalypse, your ass is dying of dehydration.
if there is an apoclypse and I survive the inititial bit of it, I will be very disappointed if no guns are needed
Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair or ****ing beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back. -Al Swearengen (Deadwood)
If there is a compound like this one that doesn't have any guns and people have food and are trying to make flamethrowers and bombs, I'm raiding the bitch...just on general principles.

It does work, I googled it. It will work using standard charcoal, but having activated charcoal (carbon, something or other) would be best.
In a "survival" type situation, they are spending WAY too much time worrying about things like electricity, showers, workout room, etc.
While guns would be a nice thing to have, they are not a necessity. Being smart is, and not too many of them are thinking of "survival" but rather "I want it to be like it was before, TV, workout, do nothing but live off the .gov"
I wonder how long those generators will work running on that wood gas? I mean that gas is nasty, filled with tar and other impurities that are going to muck up the internals of those engines.
Oh, and I just love it how they always seem to have just the right tools and supplies to make what they want.
I'll prolly watch it for some of the laughter, an occasional tidbit of useful information, but it has fast become just another "reality" show.
