The Colony is a new show that I believe will start tomorrow, 21 JUL at the 10PM slot on Discovery. I heard about it a few weeks ago, but actually read into it again recently. Its a reality-based show (ugh) that gets ten specialists together to see if they can survive and thrive in a post-apocalyptic scenario. What is interesting is that it'll be based in an urban environment type setting (apparently set up right outside of LA), and it isn't some show about drama (I hope not at least). The volunteers are all real-life specialists (ER nurse, doctor, engineers, mechanics, etc), and the scenario is set up by homeland security experts and others to make it as true-to-life as possible. I find that interesting because though it will ultimately be reality-based television, there might be some relevant and pertinent information that comes out of it (due to the fact that we NJ residents are in the most densely populated regions in the world).

 

There is more info on the official site, as well as the schedule:

Well. I tried. Ilasted 40 min till the asshat mike spouted off about getting off booze. Caffeine and cigarettes. Ummm. I think I woulda fed him a JHP first.

 

Lame lame lame.

 

But did make me consider one thing that I knew about my location.

 

Hydrate or die. I will not have to worry about that.

 

Will try again next week though.

 

It was on in the background as I was doing some Cad work. Meh. I would get more from a survival manual, but some good ideas none the less. I think if I was going to hole up in an abandoned warehouse, I'd try to make sure it was a Home Depot or Lowe's
