The colony

a couple nights ago I watched this show called "the colony". It really reminded me of the Zombie survival guide because its a simulation of a global catastrophe, and gives you survival advice. The premise for the colony is that a lethal virus killed spread across the gobe leaving few survivors. The participants have to over come simulated challenges and build a shelter for themselves.
In the episode I watched, the participants chose to build a shower, instead of building up fortifications and security for the warehouse they live in. Later on in the show an attack is simulated on the colony and they lose alot of there supplies, because the warehouse is not secure. This show is very similar to the zombie survival guide. It gives you lots of survival advice and tells you how to live in a fallout situation.
one very interesting section is about traveling through water. you would think that traveling through water is very safe, but zombies don't require oxygen to breath so if you stuck your hand in murky water you could easily get bitten by a zombie floating below the surface. Brooks give advice like staying in deep water, so that zombies cant stand up. he also says to watch your anchor line because zombies are quite capable of climbing up at night when you least expect them. there is a stern warning against relying on the water below you for food and water. this reminds me of kayaking magazines that I've read. they always tell you that water is often not as clean as it looks and may contain disease like dysentery so they are not a reliable source of energy.
