I found it Bear-y amusing.

So, where do all the people go in these shows? Frankly, I don't see survival in a depopulated city as that much of a challenge. I see stressed out and desperate people as the biggest post-apocalypse danger to a lone person on the move.

How does a hospital-sized genny run for hours and hours on one gallon of diesel? Does he know just how dangerously unhealthy an abandoned hospital can be? That's the last place I'd want to go.

I've actually been in looted and abandoned hospitals, stores and private homes, post-disaster. Usually, only the obvious is gone, and lots of useful stuff is left behind for the imaginative and resourceful survivalist, especially in the stores, but not so much in homes. Why do these shows encourage looting of private homes in a resource-rich urban/suburban environment, anyway? That seems like the best way to get into a confrontation.
