"After Armageddon" on History Channel

Anybody else watching this? It seems like it would be right up our alley in terms of survival in a post-apocalypical state. It's showing how a family would deal with a complete and vast breakdown of society due to a flu pandemic.

They haven't gotten to the part where the family leaves their home (read bugs out) but it's getting there. I think it'll be a great show, and look forward to seeing the rest of it.

Post your comments, and let everyone know what you think!

This is seriously making me want to readdress my bug-out plans. They've just mentioned the need to have not 3 or 4 days worth of supplies, but 90 days worth.

I'm fairly certain that I have 90 days worth of ammunition, but my food supply as it currently stands would run out in about 14 days. They're doing a scarily good job of depicting exactly the hardships and hurdles people would face should the unthinkable occur.

Thanks for posting this. I just turned it on and hopefully set my DVR to record this. I say hopefully cause the FiOS guide is all screwed up.

Figures. It's not on again 'til Midnight. Hopefully it will be On-Demand.

90 days is a good start, but you should, in an ideal situation, have at least 6-months on hand.

Beans, bullets, and Band-Aids.

Good program.

Get OUT of the major cities... Now, preferably.

just watched the last half, it comes back on at 11 central time. makes me feel pretty good that the items they brought up are a lot the items that I have made sure are part of my survival kit, especially antibiotics, apsarin, antihistamins and multi vitamins. Little things that you don't really think about in the larger scope of things...hammers, saw,NAILS...you don't think about that stuff, but when you need it,,,you need it.
