Tonight's episode:

A retired cop wanted an NBC protected bunker, yet had no idea what "NBC" meant

Also, she smashes a weak roadblock, yet any decent Mad Max era barrier would use boards w/ long nails to stop vehicles tongue

Then the boss' new brain bug is a floating anti-tsunami shelter

(hilariously lacking an anchor cable, so you die after being washed out to sea)

plus they failed to compensate for the weight of the door. Plus 2 seats isn't enough to protect a typical american 99er family

also, I've heard that Rhino Truck bed lining makes a good impact reinforcement for metal. That $8,000 door smashed in episode 1 would've fared better w/ a spray-on coating.

Also a 100 grand would be better spent on a diesel-electric hybrid amphib 4-wheel drive SUV (w/ amphib trailer, like this:

)that you can use to get away from danger, rather than be pinned down in one location

Actuaally, i have much experience in growing my own food. Even in winter, plastic sheeting can be used to make a "Hot Box"/ Greenhouse that can be built in a hurry & moved in a hurry. Plus game is very plentiful. as is wood for fire. a well made distillery can purify potable water.

Also, i nioticed on American Chopper...

you can make a biodiesel powered motorcycle.

so now your (as in MY) little nomad convoy has more fuel efficient scouts.

You'd be surprised how often people work with terms they don't know the meaning of. HTML comes to mind.

In a tsunami and anchor would just get you killed. Better you have radio, and EPIB, and extra food and water.

I've ridden in those BV's before, the Marine Corps uses them at their base in mammoth that I did training at two months ago, they are pieces of crap. They are slow, bumpy to ride in, the engine surges and jolts like an old chevy, and the chassis is made of magnesium, so if one of those overheats(which has happened there) there is no way to save the BV from death. They also have so much weight that they don't do the whole amphib thing that well.

Pieces of junk.

Yep, not shitting you. The Marines briefing us on what to keep in mind riding them said that they have had a few that have been pushed to hard burst into flames, and that it was a miracle nobody was hurt.

There were 3 fire extinguishers in the back of every BV that we used there.

At what point does that make sense? Was someone going for a galvanic corrosion protection mixed up the labels? The fucking fuck fuck?

I don't know, we all sort of thought the same thing.
