Movie: Book of Eli vs. SHTF

[wolf223]

while the ending was ghay, i think the movie raised some interesting points. as in weaponry, having a cool pair of shades, and just "sticking to your guns"

up for discussion:

1. go bag
2. go guns
3. plan of action

i would have put this in the survival section, but i'm NOT an expert, just merely thinking of what i'd do in that situation....

You would have done what the script writer wrote. Just like Denzel did.

The answer to all life's questions begin and end with "NES open carry BBQ".

Seriously though,I would have just kidnapped Mila Kunis and camped out for a few years until she needed a bath,then traded her for something else.

He had an HK. All you need to know.

I saw it yesterday and thoroughly enjoyed it. Some random thoughts:

- Roasted kitty on a spit
- Using a LARGE edged weapon to conserve ammo
- Throwing away things (wasted food) that people would kill each other for
- Clean water is (almost) everything
- Learning Braille could come in handy some day
- Not much of a bug-out bag
- Better to just avoid people whenever possible
- Flint & steel firestarter vs. zippo lighter
- Small battery, solar charger, iPod
- Yes, an H&K pistol and a stubby pump shotgun
- Eating a meat-exclusive diet can give you the shakes
- The walls of an old house will protect you from large caliber fire if you stay low enough (OK, not so much)
- In the movies, you can cross large tracts of desert with just a WWII canteen of water
- What better use for Alcatraz than to restart civilization?
- The Book is finally back in printed form... and you just put it on the shelf?

I liked the movie, I went and saw it in the theaters.

I am probably not going to make it that far if the S really HTF, so my ideas are not that valuable.

as previously stated. ending was ghay. but i liked how he had his resources.

cross bow to shoot a perp through the ****

he felt "protected" by the book and therfore, protected the book.

the villains blind wife and daughter were interesting twists to the plot, as was the no. 1 henchmen who let him go early in the movie during the first shoot out scene.

otherwise, i liked the "movie" logical flow of events.

no cash:

scarf's, KFC wet wipes, water, shoes ect... "normal" bartering tools.

so i need to get more cats, and download more music onto my iPhone.


i LOVED the old couple with the Arsenal...

The old couple were pretty awesome, I wish I had an arsenal like that.

so as for the main topic:

1. go bag - has to be light. carry the bare essentials. a couple few mags worth, some extra ammo. a fire source, hygene items, entertainment... funny, i'd just commentated on Gadsden's slide show earlier. i think he did a pretty good job.
2. go guns - for me: glock and AR. i need to reach out and touch people.
3. plan of action - just keep walkin wolf223, keep on walkin!

i'd probably add booze to that mix though.

Screw the AR,the post nuclear holocaust looks really dry...AR needs oil,and the carrier key could get unstaked.

All I need is an AK74,HK45,3 bottles of Poland Springs water,a Zippo,3 boxes of Ritz crackers,12 cans of Spam,toilet paper and an internet connection.

I'll be all set.

i'd probably add booze to that mix though.

For... "medicinal" purposes only, I'm sure.

My wife and I just watched it the other day. At one point she looked at me and said "The scary thing is people would really act this way". I just looked at her and said "that is why we own firearms".
