This can be found on YouTube as well... it's in like 6 parts. I don't have a link, but it's easy to find.Charles L. Cotton wrote:History Channel (H2) has run an interesting "what-if" program titled "After Armageddon." It originally aired in 2010 and it recently ran again. It's premise is based upon a pandemic and the resultant breakdown of society and infrastructure simply because people cannot get to work for fear of disease. It goes into the near impossibility to restart basic systems like railroads, power generation, and mechanized farming once they are truly shut down. It's impact on modern society is devastating and likely permanent.
Much of the supposition in the program is based upon New Orleans during Katrina. If you live in an urban area, the idea of being able to stockpile food and water for any long period of time is comforting, but someone else is likely to be living off your supplies. So unless you have a trailer large enough to hold all of your supplies, and unless you leave early enough (very unlikely), then escape from urban areas after society has crumbled would be a very difficult task.
If you are truly interested in this subject, then watch the program, it's though-provoking.

Re: Survivalism
I think many people on here take some level of preparation. It's not about 'zombies' or 'Armageddon' as much as it is about just being smart. Most of us on the coast remember Rita and Ike... it would be kind of crazy to not have some sort of storage of water, food, gasoline, and/or ammo. :)
People on this forum are preparing to protect themselves in the very unlikely event we need our firearm, so preparing for the rather likely scenario (relatively speaking) of a weather disaster or even some form of social unrest regarding politics or a court decision, etc, isn't much of a stretch.
Me personally, food, water, gasoline, first aid, and ammo...
