Honestly, I like news for current events, but could live without it otherwise. Even the news is better on line as you pick what interests you vs letting the network. Why am I paying 100 bucks a month for this crap? Oh, because that's better than hearing my wife if I cancel it....

I scrapped my Sky ( fox) Satellite subscription which was £40 a month ($55) All it is is 35 minutes of trailers, adverts, repeats of part of the previous section of the show, or repeating the same news every 15 minutes. I now use BT which is sadly very similar but only £7 ($10) a month but I do need the news channels.
 
Don't sweat it, the show has really gone down hill recently. It was the highest rated series for a long time,but now with the storyline changing its ratings plummeted. They killed off two main characters and changed the dynamics of it. It was about the only show I really tried to watch consistently. Damned sorry writers.......

This season's premiere pissed me off. I haven't watched since.
 
Mother Nature always has the upper hand, no matter how much you prep! While I plan to stay in place no matter what, I do have a bug out plan in case it is required. Also, in a SHTF situation, there may be people with all their cool guy gadgets trying to get a fire started and not knowing what to do.

While living in Alaska I took a trip to the North Slope and was well prepared, I just didn't expect to have to use it all! I went through 2 spare tires, my tire repair kit, half my first aid kit, spent 2 more nights out then my plan, 2 of my Bic lighters bit the dust, my fire striker broke, and used more duct tape then I thought possible! And I never even left the road in my truck!

As far as where this thread shifted to, Negan is a bully in charge of those who use the bully's strength as their own, Take out Negan and they will fall apart, but what do I know.

Agreed on taking out neagan. It will happen, but the writers will drag it out for a couple seasons. Just don't know if the ratings will survive long enough.
 
I posted, but I don't see it. The Walking Dead is different this year , but it is more pertinent as far as prepping goes. it's not the initial "disaster" that is going to be the worst part, it going to be later when man turn against man. (which is happening more on TWD this season). As far as the show tanking..... any other show on cable would give their left (insert body part) for their worst ratings. The Walking Dead is an excellent show for preppers. these people have no communication and have to forage for everything. watching it may give you some new ideas on survival .

The zombies have been easily dispatched for some time now. The show has been about the man vs man for several seasons. I agree there's stuff you can learn from it for use in a real survival situation, but for me it's mostly just entertainment. You're right about even with its drop in ratings, it still makes a ton of money for the network. From the beginning on this show no character has been off limits to being killed, so change is part of what has kept it interesting. Still, for me, seeing Rick turn into a submissive is just too much. Add the loss of Glenn and the hope of him and Maggie starting to repopulate the world and it changed the dynamics from optimism to dispair.

Oh, Rick will come back to being a bad ###. I agree on the man vs man has been going on for a while, but Negan has definitely kicked it up a notch. He is showing more of the limitations of man when it comes to the welfare of those in his charge.
 
I really tried to w
I hate the FEAR THE WALKING DEAD I nearly died of boredom watching it, None of that family deserved to survive they were 100% accredited losers.[/QUOT

I really tried to give it a chance, but none of the characters stood out to me. I gave up after 4 episodes.
 
I watched the show for a short time,,,,,but I just can not buy the walking dead,I just can't see this ever happening so I have tuned out,,,,,,,,,,,,,Jericho was a much more believable show and more on the order of what I would expect after a nuclear war

I know the walking dead has nothing to do with a nuclear war

I managed to make it through a few episodes without puking. My daughter recorded them for me. That whole messed up family is a waste of skin. They all deserve to be zombie food. And the Dad, what a weiner! The wife had more balls than him. What were they thinking when they made that show?

"" FTWD is set in LA"" Theres our answer CALIFORNIANS ! Their GHB's only includes TOFU, Knitted Sandles and the phone number of their analists.
 
I knew the old Rick would show up. The writer said he had to make him loose it all with the deaths of Glenn and Abraham before he could work his way back up.

I was so happy to see Daryl back. Now all we need is kick ### Carol.
 
I haven't had TV for over a year now but I do miss the Mountain Man series. I'm very familiar with where a couple of the characters are. I used to live and trap in the same areas.
I plan to get satellite TV up here as soon as I can get the roads open enough to get their truck in.
We have to have satellite for tv and computers because we live on the "wrong" side of the lake. I love my Directv though. we have Hughes Net for our internet

This last episode was better. Rick looks like he is just about pushed to his limit. There's still hope.
