[Best Post-apocalypse Movie]

I watched Mad Max Fury Road the other night and found it to be very enjoyable. Possibly sacrilege, but I found it as awesome as Mad Max and Road Warrior, and better than Beyond Thunderdome.

Book of Eli was good, but it was unbelievable due to the major plot point openly revealed at the end.

That means that realistic has to go to The Road for me. Or possibly Mad Max if you wanted more action.

that's cool.

 

Hey, how did you embed the video?  I didn't see the option

[Survival Cordage - DIY]

nah, cmon. You're over thinking it. You could just get stranded in the woods for a short time and find trash to use to get through.

 

Besides, deciding to welcome death might be a bit easier with some 2-liter cordage to hang yourself on  :cool:

Cool concept.  What say you?

[One Year in Hell]

Truer words were never spoken.  Our collapse will be worse than any other country. 

 

 

Surely you haven't forgotten about ancient Rome. The people were yelling to the officials to sell them the corpses from the arena as meat.

[Binoculars]

Post some pictures!  I'd love to see those

[I have a question for everyone.]

Food. We had a bunch saved up in the basement. Then my wife and I both unexpectedly lost our jobs and, well I am so thankful we had the food then. We just no longer do. 

 

Money is coming back slowly, so time to slowly start filling the pantry back up.

 

 

Our water storage is pretty sad too. Only about 100 Gallons at best.

 

 

 

We have guns and ammo for days though!

So I see a lot of posts on best shtf fiction books, but what about movies?  What's your favorite shtf movie, OR which movie do you find the most realistic?

 

 

Personally, my favorite is Road Warrior

 

But one of the most realistic would be The Road

Thank you so much, OP!

 

That's cool

[Apparently I'm a "racist ammosexual."]

Much like the word 'cracker', I don't find anything offensive about ammosexual. 

 

But, if they are going to discriminate us for being ammosexuals, then we should point out how small-minded they are for being ammophobics. Ammophobia is a disease spread by ignorance.  We're here, with gear.  Get use to it!

OP, great read.  Thanks for that

I don't typically Amazon so I can't compare, but an awesome USA made brand is Atwood: http://www.blackriveroutpost.com/Atwood-Paracord_c_119.html

 

The colors are always bright and don't fade.  It's never snapped on me either.  Good stuff

[EMP has the Government Worried]

Wouldn't the emp fry those?

 

That's actually a good question.  Mentally preparing for a possible EMP has led me to accept the loss of standard electronics, but I hadn't given thought to personal defense electronics.

 

It seems though, only circuit boards and sensitive electronics would be in danger of an EMP.  Not basic battery powered electrical devices, yea?

 

(someone offer me some comfort here)

[Two New Paracord Projects...]

Very cool.  Definitely like the double monkey fist (I refuse to refer to them as monkey nuts while showing interest in them ;) ).

 

A 'how-to' would be greatly appreciated
