"Apocalypse Man: Giving your survival secrets away to the clueless masses"

I like these shows because they have the potential for the public to have a wake up call and start preparing. The other side is with most people in most situations, they will only learn as little as they need to know to get something done, and not fully understand the entire situation. I'm everyone of us has an example of something like that during our working career. Not to say I haven't done the same thing, but I can see people going "Library == Sewer Map". They won't stop to think. "Oh wait, since the city cannot protect the distributed sewer system from terrorists, all of the maps have been removed from public inspection. Let's go over to the water department instead".

I did learn one thing: If I want real survival supplies I need to stake out footpaths and railroad lines. These are where the "educated" people will go, not freeways.
