I love this show . . . raises the concept of self-reliance to a whole new level.
The End Of The World As We Know It: TEOTWAWaKI
That’s what I hear, anyhow ;-)
Yeah, but...Last night they had a guy with a deuce and a half that runs on used motor oil. He had thee four hundred gallon tanks to store the stuff, and the truck could haul 5,000 lbs off road, or 10,000 lbs on round. And he and the Mrs. figured they could get halfway accross the country with their stored fuel. BUT water itself weighs 8 lbs. per gallon. Using that as a base, hauling his fuel [if he brings it all] adds something like 9600 lbs to the truck’s load.
Another guy has tons of food stored at his house because he fears bird flu pandemics. BUT his saf house is an old gem mine 2 1/2 hours away, which leaves behind the food. And the plexiglass sliding door window may stop a 9 mm, but what about a rifle?
Froim what I’ve seen, some of these folks are REALLY good, but a lot of them aren’t.
