VP Prepping & Survival made a great video with 5 lessons people can learn from The Walking Dead. Some preppers complain that this show is unrealistic (of course it is, it’s a TV show about zombies!), but I don’t really care whether it’s realistic. It’s meant to be entertaining, not educational. And it has inspired many people to start preparing for a disaster, so for that it should be praised.
The first 4 lessons he mentions are great, but I only partially agree with number 5. Yes, if there’s an end-of-the-world type disaster, you’ll be safer in the country than in the city. But some of us aren’t able to move away from the city just yet, and all the most likely disasters can be ridden out in the city anyway.
If the apocalypse does happen, then as long as we stay alert and have a good bug out plan, we should be able to escape in time. What do you think? You can view the video below.

I think to some extent all apocalyptic-fiction based television portrays some level of accuracy in what we can expect in a Post SHTF world. Some people focus on specific bushcrafting skills and frankly all survival skills have merit but the biggest threat in a survival situation is dealing with enemies that want to kill you.
your worst enemy would either be yourself for not being prepared even when the signs pointed to big trouble on the horizon, or another survivor who will take what little you actually have.
Then of course you have the elements and any surviving wild life
