Movies - Your favourite Prep/Survival/Apocolypse flicks

A depressing look at post TEOTWAWKI

It's all about how you look at it.  To think an apocalypse such as described certainly wouldn't be about unicorns and rainbows is delusional, nor would any such a situation and thinking so would lead to problems.  I teach my clients that being peaceful in sadness is just fine.  Avoidance leads to further issues and avoidance is really meant to be used mostly for emergencies, aka in the moment, the problem is people do that over extended periods.  So, basically it's a crappy situation, no point in deny or making things up that aren't true.  From that, looking at the positives within that, are a pathway to dealing with it as it would be horrific. 

Also, I look at the people giving up in the movie, with a kind of disdain, that people just gave up instead of fighting to the very end.  That's an insult to the gift of genes and nature of our being and millions of years of evolution, yet I also think that there's a certain validity to many people indeed giving in, evidenced by how easily they have given in, in their pursuit of doing the best they can in life, in their giving in to their emotional challenges and so on right now.  Huge amounts of stress would push many people beyond their ability to cope, [having not even coped with their own inner turmoils] so I also think that there's a good chance that a number of people would indeed do themselves in.   This has happened in different situations.  

Ha, ha. I'm unlimited $60/month in regional areas, decent connection , clubtelco.

Ahh... yeah should have thought about that with your situation.

I think it's more unrealistic than depressing! In times of extreme hardship (such as war, or the great depression) suicide rates actually drop dramatically. It seems as a species we actually do better mentally if we have to fight for survival than if we have it easy like now. Also I challenge the idea that food stores will run out within a week (or whatever time frame was in this particular video). Yes, processed foods would run out, but everyone is forgetting about our grain receival points that have millions of tonnes of grain in them. They are emptied gradually throughout the year so for the most part they have grain in them. Humans have lived on mostly grain based diets since we discovered how to farm it and have survived.

Not a favourite, more like a B grade disaster movie, even the prepper is a psycho!!!

1:15:30 - "I may not be a survivalist, but at least I'm prepared"

I've never had much time for economists. If they're such experts why aren't they all millionaires?

I was once advised by an economist to buy an investment property in Baldivis (south of Perth, at the time it was the fastest growing suburb in Australia). I was concerned that the high number of FIFO workers would lead to prices crashing when the mining boom ended (which they did). Values are now so low that banks aren't allowing people to sell their homes as there's insufficient equity to cover existing mortgages. There are now hundreds upon hundreds of vacant houses there and it's now got the highest rate of personal bankruptcies in Australia.

Baldivis is basically a swamp isn't it?

I'd describe it as scrub land they bulldozed and filled with bricks... The other side of the freeway where there is much less development is the 'swamp'. Nice properties that side lol
