Stupid decisions people made in post apocalyptic type media.

So, I am currently watching I am Legend for the first time, one thing that annoyed me instantly, when he fed Sam his real, human food. Now personally I have no problem with feeding animals human food IRL, but here it's different. Eventually that delicious human food would run out. Me personally, I would've just fed him dog food, because no matter how much you love a pet, if it's post apocalypse, yourself should be your #1 priority. I know this sounds mean, but that's just how it is.
 
Dunno, dude....unlike the boy in" A Boy And His Dog", I didn't get a feeling Will Smith loved Sam all that much....I suspect he'd have gotten his food back in the end.

D-did you even pay attention?, The dog is all he had left to remember his dead family. And when he was forced to kill him due to him getting infected he cried, then went to bury him. So of course he loved him
 
Human food. There was plenty of deer running around to worry to much about running out. He was just a shitty huntsmen.

Keep in mind that flicks like that are made for one purpose: To get asses planted in theatre seats at $14 (if not more) a ticket. The *HUGE* majority of folks who saw that flick (I was one of them, but only after it came out on home video - screw theatre prices) are there purely for the fun-n-games of it, with no concept whatsoever of what to do if and when SHTF - 90% of them, maybe more, will just plain DIE, of starvation, and/or being preyed upon, within a few weeks after TEOTWAWKI hits. The film is entertainment, not instructional video. Take it for what it's meant to be.

Good thing I don’t pay to get in.
however surviver man was a good show and was much better then the chopper jumping show made by Bear Grills.

Can't say I've seen either. I've heard the title Survivorman, but know nothing beyond that about it. As for Bear Gryllis (or however he spells it to seem cooler than what he actually is, I'd give him 10 days of *REALLY* having to survive (as opposed to having a production crew around to film him eating bugs that they've planted for him to "find") before he drops dead. From what I've seen of him and his schtick, there's a shitload of "hat", with only a lone weanling calf to that boy.

Personally, if SHTF were tomorrow, I have little doubt I'd be good for at least several months, assuming it didn't come as a nearby ultra-bright flashes - you know - the kind that flash-fry the entire countryside extra crispy in the time it takes to say "Aw, shit..."

Ya I know what you mean. Les the one that dose survivorman does all his own filming with no crew near by. There out there but not up with him doing the show. Bear eats with the crew off camera. Les would walk right over him without a doubt.

If you really wanna know stupid survivor decisions look at walking dead.

Or just about *ANY* "post-apocalypse" flick ever made. I could count the ones I've seen that have any realistic basis in actual "survive the end of the world for more than the next 90 minutes" skills/decisions/actions by chopping off a finger for each one, and not need to worry about having any difficulty rolling my next cigarette.

22s are BARELY enough to destroy brain matter. Look at John F Kennedy the 22 sniper shot didnt kill him right away.

It wasn’t really a .22 and if you do some research.22s kill more people year round then other calibers BECAUSE there underestimate.

There was some famous person who got shot by a low caliber i forgot who exactly if not him.

JFK was actually killed by a 6.5 which is now a leading caliber for long distance competition.
Believe me .22s are most definitely deadly. If you have ever seen nail guns that take shells and a powder charge it’s mostly in .22. You can pop 4in nails straight through a stack of 2/4s.

I'm gonna go ahead and agree with you here. Being a gun lover who goes to firing ranges quite a bit, 22's are vastly underrated. With 22's, the bullet is so light that once it enters a target it starts to bounce around and cause way more damage inside than out. It's like somehow turning on a blender inside the target. So yea... Stock up on that 22 ammo boys

Yeah....which is why with all the damn fuss over AR 15s, the anti crowd focusses on a junk rifle and never notices the .223 caliber. Such sub-calibers all ought to be illegal at higher velocities. When it tumbles and keyholes, it is purely a weapon of war, regardless of the platform. The round is cheap, and usually readily available, and it tears up meat like a grinder. At 55-60 gr, it is useless for any hunting I ever heard of. Militarily, you can teach them to shoot, or you can give them a hose. Unfortunately, we opted for the hose.
The Italian 6.5 wasnt a small slug....what it lacked in caliber was made up in bulk and length, since it was an older military cartridge, created with a more Military sensiblity; it was 162 gr., about 3 x the weight of a .223.That sensibility is that it takes 3-4 soldiers to deal with a wounded comrade, but none to deal with a dead one. Enemies down are better than enemies dead.
