The last man on earth is sitting in his room watching ‘snow’ on his TV …. Then, there’s a knock at his door!

I don’t want to be a stick in the mud. I really like your website,but I just want to clarify your point. While watching television, news or otherwise isn’t the best use of time, I don’t think your suggestion of switching tv viewing with reading survival blogs to be an adequate solution. Of course, mindlessly watching television is always a terrible idea, but there’s nothing wrong with enjoying something in moderation.
In regard to the specific reference to the news, there are of course better ways to learn what’s going on in the news. Maybe I’m just not familiar with survival blogs, but that doesn’t seem to address the lack of information if one were to stop watching the news in favor of reading a survival blog.
I believe moderation in all things is key. I’ll still enjoy watching a show or two once a week, but it couldn’t hurt to read something like this when one would normally stare at the television for several hours at a time. I think I’ll bookmark this site as a go to site for information, and one day I’ll put this information to use. :)

I agree but disagree. Shows like survivor man and doomsday preppers are informative. I’m not saying that after watching an episode of dual survivors your reads to head out with a slingshot and take ver the world but maybe something will stick and come in useful

Watching the news is the worst thing to do and it is a waste of valuable time and the information you get is what THEY want you to hear.
When the SHTF don’t turn on the news watch for the military, the first military vehicle you see, is when you should grab your BOB and run.

good advise
I spend a lot of time watching crap on tv when I could be learning things that I haven’t before I already go to the gym so I’m good there.

I no longer watch television news because it is opinion making vs. real news (backed by documentation) found only on the internet.

TV is the ultimate Weapon of Mass Distraction lol! I agree with the above. However, the internet can be just as bad sometimes. You can trawl up some amount of crap looking for alternative news and the time seems to fly by in the process! Hours wasted. Get out into the wilderness and get connected:)

I think that you are on the money with the idea of watching too much TV. But…keeping your eyes on the current events may be what one will need to give him/her the insight as to what may hit the fan. So maybe 30 min a day with the news isn’t such a bad idea.
