  1. 1. Have more than one gun.
    2. Have ammo for the gun
    3. Have more than 1 gallon of fuel for your genset
    4. Teach wife how to use gun and other weapons.
    5. Have good standby blunt force weapons
    6. Don’t be afraid to turn daughter over your knee even when she’s 16.

    If they’re worried about avian flu, why are they letting the windows and doors stay open to the outside.

    Good, I like the water source, the hottub is good.
    The use of the cooker is not bad either. Having a dual fuel stove is a good idea.

  2. You aren’t going to electrocute someone with a 12vdc cable.

    None of the windows or doors were breakin-proof. And no matter how many guns you have, how much ammo or food or water, the bad guys can always get pissed and burn you out unless your whole house is totally fireproof.

  6. Pfffttt!
    Go in the bunker. Examine the copious quantities of food, ammo, fuel, medical stuff, emergency lighting, water, clothes, etc. and then feel damn good.

  7. I agree with you pretty much completely.

    I’d add 1(a): carry one of your guns on you at all times, in a proper holster.

    If they’re worried about avian flu, why are they letting the windows and doors stay open to the outside.

    Probably because it’s unbearably hot outside and shutting everything would cause everyone inside to die of heat exhaustion. Window screens sure would be nice though, to keep infected birds from flying in.

  8. In addition to what’s already been said by others, my opinion is that 99% of the people who watch this movie will go “Aw, that will never happen!” and completely fail to learn such lessons as it contains.

  11. Yeah…definately need to raid the Valentine chocolate stash now after watching that video! It did give me a bit more of a jolt to support the hub in his efforts….as well as seeing the need to make sure I (and my daughters) know how to defend ourselves.
    I was on board for y2k, but after that, I allowed myself to fall into disinterest and pretty much focused on child raising and homeschooling. But yeah…I need to not only support his efforts, but do my part too. Reading your journal these last many months has really given me a good poke to get busy.

    This video reminds me to keep things on the down low regarding taking care of our family. ~Deb

    if such a killer flu hit, those having the common cold might be shot by others thinking it is the flu. besides there are several other flu types that make bird flu look like a common cold. good to keep up a healthy body immune system and use antibiotics only in a serious situation. in any event antivirals work against flu virus, antibiotics are for bacteria infections. screen material and duct tape are available now, good to store a few rolls away in your supply chest. as for the daughter, typical 16 year old bitch. have fun with your parinoia.

  13. As a movie, a good amateur effort, but relies on a few cheap shortcuts for dramatic effect, which actually end up diminishing the power of the film. The friends you’ve kept for a long time suddenly turn into rapists? Unlikely. Simple desperation is so much more believable and effective. What happens if we change the two to a man and a wife, with a kid of their own? Now we’ve gone from a pair of menacing but disposable scumbags to villains we might actually sympathize with. And they don’t have to be any less violent or threatening.

    As for the rest, yeah. Have a gun. Maintain NBC measures. Don’t waste your reserves.

  14. Bunkers

    Bunkers. Ideally these would be offsite from your main residence, have more than one well-concealed ventilation supply and be fireproof. In addition, they will need to have some sort of waste disposal system so you don’t get sick from human waste and garbage in a siege situation.

    Anyone have plans for something that is not a basement? Where I live the soil is too sandy, and basements are nonexistent. I need to figure out an aboveground structure that can resist fire, and still allow me to go on the offensive if need be. I am picturing something like the old-style one-room frontier houses with firing slots and hard mud roofs that resist burning. Anyone else have a better structure in mind?

  15. I pretty much agree with everyone else, but will add one thing.
    Keep your big mouth shut!
    In the first encounter with the mutants, one mentions they knew the guy had plenty of food cause he always bragged about how well prepared he was.
    He made himself a target by doing so.

    Oh, and pick better friends.

  18. Re: Bunkers

    consider a steel shipping container? dig a trench, and bury it, could be used as a survival shelter.3-4 ft diameter steel tubes can be added before burial to provide access, 6″ pvc pipe for ventallation, and your choice of heavy wood or metal hatch to keep out the pests. Wildflower 07

  19. Bluntforce trauma beats drowning in your drinking water.

    What kind of moron would fail to have ammo for what appears to be his only gun?

  21. Watched the movie today… got a lot out of it.
    1) Make sure the entire family is involved in survival plans (and trained!)
    2) Make sure you have ammo and extra magazines for your guns.
    3) Always keep your guns on your person in a holster!
    4) Keep the kids in line – No means NO!
    5) Dispense charity at a distance.
