Surviving in a post-apocalyptic environment | "Aftermath" - Short film by Jeremy Robbins 

i was gunna say the exact same thing, but why say it twice.

In the apocalypse, its kill or be killed. Food and resources will be scarce.I think this is exactly what it would be like.

@W Smith wow, what "news"! Never heard that before! Good thing he proved his fitness by killing some harmless dude who could've been an invaluable ally.

@@DadBodDrumming actually studies into disasters have shown that people are just as likely to all band together as to rampage & murder each other. Either way, my comment was about creating a good story with a message.

@@DadBodDrumming I take it you live in the city. Plenty of resources in the wilderness, no need for canned foods. 30 round of .308 and 300 of .22 is more than enough for a year. Most gun owners keep a hell of a lot more than that around.

Absolutely! I've told my friends that zombies are predictable and you always know exactly what they're after. Now people? Not so much...

its like in the Walking Dead where the people become the worse of the whole Apocalypse situation

The Road is a great example

i agree, but i would also like to add, that people are the scariest thing i can think of. hell just look at the epidemic we are in right now. theres a virus sweeping the globe and alot of countries are locking down, you know the definition of shtf. and most economies are crumbling, most are failing. yet its not the virus i am afraid of. not but maybe 2% the other 98% of my fears are the disgusting humans. whether its government, police, or lunatic civilians hoarding toilet paper. shit is about to get very very REAL as they say. and its gonna be the humans that cause the majority of the deaths before this is over, not the virus.

And it's happening now

Everybody needs community to survive. There are very few Mountain Men amongst us. The key is to only tell those you trust to be there for you when the time comes, and for you to be there for them when the time comes.

99.9% of everyone will be a zombie. If I get a chance I'll be the best zombie I can be.

Start with a small group. Then, it becomes a village. Then you have an army. Then you build your territory.

prime example of why the hell be a prepper, hopefully I'll be one of the first to go

@@thedevilsadvocate5210 LMFAO

Nope, these are the people who don't survive. The larger the group, and the more cooperation, the better your chance. Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it. And nowhere in history have small groups been the survivors.

Spurious Effect large groups require large resources look at all the largest armies on the world and throughout history Alexander the Great, the Roman Empire, the great khan armies all required heavy resources during times of prosperity. When there’s nothing to go around all you’ll have left is small groups and tribes

@@johnnyk617 Small tribes do not survive. They either join a larger collective, or they die out. Sorry, that's history.

Spurious Effect as long as there’s resources that’s the determinant factor that’s why these groups resort to cannibalism

@@johnnyk617 I see what you're saying. That's why you need to be friends with farmers. LOL They will be the kings, and we will all be their security guards and hired hands.

righties aren't bullet proof...

@@direwolf6234 you gonna love it. Love is everything.

Won’t be a lot left. Then they won’t tell you they are lefties.

it's just a movie.

@@jeffdaily9196 You're the little brother.

@Family Man well, i don't know your family but with my family if my dad gets hurt/killed then i might be a 16 year old 188cm 90kg defense league member(we carry and shoot guns reguraly) , but i can't replace my dad and his knowledge/wisdom to provide/protect/care for my family

@Family Man my point was that your family depends on you and there's only one of you and "one is none and two is one" so having a small group is reasonable cause something could happen to you and having someone close to you (who you really trust) is important

You're the kind of person I'd want on my team man. Cheers 🍻

"most"? Really? It wasn't bad but it certainly isn't better than most movies with proper budgets.

@@tropikal-1747 yes really and your missing the point..2 years late lol

Totally agree. I never understood the reasoning behind "oh, let me chamber this round in right before I assault [insert area/building/people/person]" here. It's loud, gives your position away, and just dumb. Always have one in chamber. Same goes for people that believe the sound of racking a pump action is a great way to scare off an intruder... You just gave your position away or lost a valuable time advantage. Cheers!

And when he cocked his Bolt Action Rifle it sure sounded like a lever action cocking to me.

but, they weren't surviving - they were merely existing until it was their turn to die. the way basic human biology works is that neither your community nor your species can survive when you have only two related males living alone and killing anyone who comes in range. Had they not killed 'Anna' ... they may have had a chance. She might have been a spy, or she might have not. The guy at the end certainly wasn't a spy. He was just in the wrong place at the wrong time - and met one of the surviving dregs of humanity who had a gun and no brain.

@@ryancurtis386 everyone here seems to pointlessly kill each other, also everyone seems to be brainless I mean they saw two people knew one was alive and possibly armed and then left cover before the threat was eliminated, and they didn't even bother to search the place. The sniper shot the first guy in the head and somehow missed the other one. The guy inside had cover and could have started firing on the people outside since they were in the open and in the field behind the hey, he could have pinned them all down or shot them, meanwhile he is in the house and can move freely because they can't see trough walls. And finally they are obviously running low on supplies so why leave a perfectly edible human, a freshly killed one.

Have you ever eaten human? It stinks

@@thedevilsadvocate5210 if you're hungry enough you won't care.

@@ryancurtis386 quite a omnipresence you have... most likely she was bait. Can't trust anyone.

Brian Nylander 😂😂😂😂😂

Welcome to costco i love u

@@TheNecropolis20 the more time that passes the more the Idiocracy movie starts to become realistic 😆

@@anthonycoffey9412 agreed

how are you guys doing ? me and my parents we are alive

Seriously? You think this is good advice? ... Based on the camera angle of a film? .... haha. ... I'd say, if this was in any way based reality. One would not be acting in the ignorance of prey and walking through an open field. No matter the back pack. Good job at a short film though.

DayZ taught me this

Use it as a rest to get a better sight picture and better accuracy

Use said backpack as a rest and cover..

Kodama xD dude i was about to say the same thing

Dean Backer And, it would probably take as long if not less time for all the gas, food, medicine and, any shelves to empty from all applicable stores.

72 hours or 3 meals. Remember New Orleans? I don't even think it was that before all of society broke down.

Seventy two hours is somewhat of a myth. Stores and gas stations...sure. But there are weeks worth of food in the world and weeks more planted at any given time. There are huge amounts of fuel in storage facilities / refineries. So before this becomes contentious, consider that farmers and oil workers know more about their own businesses than preppers do. You have more than 3 days food in your house right now...and another 3 at the stores, etc. Also...72 hours is a world average...not Western standard. There's a weeks worth if calories in any vending machine...add some venison...

@@stevewithaphen New Orleans; Rule #1: As soon as the power goes off, its time to loot. Try 72 minutes or less.

@@chetisanhart3457 I agree, to an extent. 72 hours isnt so much a myth as it is a standard. Its a standard set by FEMA to have a "stay in place" supply of necessities. Typically, FEMA thinks they can rescue us all in 3 days. Do you trust FEMA? Or any other government agencies for that matter? If you do then youre relying on the very people who will most likely be the ones who turn off all our power, etc. So, if you dont trust them, whos advice do you rely on? Preppers? Most preppers are youtube educated. A few have real experience and military backgrounds. This is NOT a recommendation to join a militia. Most militias have been documented down to the individual members. There are multiple end world senerios which are percisely exacting to the very spot you are standing in with multiple variables based on where youre standing that particular minute during any given day. You simply cannot prepare for all of it. There are too many ways any preparation would be useless. What do you do then? Like anyone else...use common sense, be fully aware of your surroundings at all times, know how long it takes to get to your survival stash and compare it to the time you might have to get to it and get out. But what if you work some place where there isnt any news being broadcast all day long? If theres incoming nukes you only have 30 minutes. By the time anyone who might care about you gets a phone call through youll probably already be vapors. Any prep you did was useless. Prepping requires so much to be useful. It almost has to be a day and night obsession. Obsession in the sense where youll most likely be so obvious that everyone around you will know youre a prepper and think youre a total nut case. Fact is, you pretty much will be. 72 hours? Thats some government lackies idea of a "nice round number" to attempt to inspire calm among the pleebs so chaos doesnt break out at first "breaking news" telecast. Government IS GOING TO LIE TO YOU. The reason for this is is because something called "continuity of government" which is a far greater priority than there being anyone left for government to rule over. The pleebs are expendable, government is not (their perspective, not mine). If the pleebs go crazy, the roads and every other means to escape are immediately filled with these "non essential/undesirable" people. If the egresses are blocked the elites cannot get their families out of harms way. So simple solution: dont tell anyone until all the important people and their families are safe and fuck the average Jack and Jill and their families. Hopefully Jack and Jill have there homes outside the blast and fallout areas and work close to home and have enough supplies for a FEW MONTHS or even several years. The oil workers who know their industry and where all that extra oil WAS, before everything went up in smoke, are most likely dead. So are the others you mentioned.

Dude this is a live action Rust adaptation... those people didn't die they rage quit a really toxic server.

Awesome game

Hunter Jenkins that’s what I was thinking about the whole time XD. At least the cannibals didn’t get em

And then there were none. By your thinking.

Mark Pope they do that in movies for effect

Perhaps cleaning his guns or naw

Why do you think I'm here lol

Voo Doo1 🤣

How about the fact that they quit selling 80% lowers? They aren't for us bub.

@@jonross377 not sure why they stopped selling 80% lowers, but I do know they have the lowest prices for AR's

Though bolt action has longer range

@@frankmontez6853 5.56 has a maximum effective range of 200/250 meters, which is more than adequate, plus is auto loading and holds 29 more rounds than a bolt action. In a SHTF scenario you can have your single shot, I WILL ALWAYS HAVE MY AR15'S...5.56 AND 300 BLKOUT. Good day Sir

I agree. Realistically they would probably only do that once. Somebody learning the hard way that's how you end up with a gaping leg wound from "friendly fire". 🤔 I was wondering roughly how many times they would get away with door entries before they were reverse ambushed through the door. 🤷‍♂️ A better short film than I could pull off though.

Depends on how well they were trained. Any SOF could pull that off, though they wouldn't have set up a breach that way in the first place.

@@ericj6636 Possible?....Sure. I agree as I've seen up close anti-terrorism exercise sweep the inside of an old plane. Impressive and better than I can do. It apparently takes serious dedication to training to pull off that kind of control though. (🙋‍♂️ I was the immobile guy for the exercise ... you know ...to drag out to safety... It's better to use a live dummy than a stuffed one. 😆) But probable? .... I doubt it. We've all seen "that guy" at the range. SHTF were to happen IRL firearms will account for tons of "Darwin Awards" Already precedents for it historically. As while sickness took a bunch the number of people killed by accidental discharges on the wagon trail west (1800s U.S.A.) was really high too. It's all hypothetical though. 🤷‍♂️

@@black_jackledemon6298 Yeah. And here's the thing no matter how good you are in that kind of scenario your teammates have to be that good to or you're f*cked. If you're skilled and they're not they're safer than you are. I'd rather breach a cabin solo than with 2 untrained dudes. I also wouldn't breach a cabin and do CQC during SHTF unless it was absolutely unavoidable. And definitely wouldn't do it with folks using full auto...

@@ericj6636 I agree. It's hypothetical...closest to reality so far is probably hurricane "Katrina". (Excluding Africa... human intestine check point "ropes" That's just average daily life there.) Personally I would just avoid people and try to be invisible. If I lived long enough to reach the point of equilibrium. Decide by observation if whoever is left is worth getting to know personally. We are a social species but being a sociable introvert does have it's survival advantages. Not that it would help me much. I'm in excellent shape for my age but at almost 50 now. That's *really* old for Dark Ages+ modern weaponry.

it broke my heart in a whole new way

very good point! I didn't notice that. just assumed he had one in the chamber.

More likely empty.

Lol...just seen that movie the other day. Classic!

WOLVERINE'SSSSSSS

onion...that might be part 2

@@mikha007 I hope so...or something else besides nothing. These shorts are great, but it would be awesome to see some closure or follow-up on some of them.

Like, why wasn't a round already chambered?

Bruh his pistol sounds like a pump action shotgun at 10:00
