The Award Winning Bugout Post Apocalyptic Film 

It amazes me that there are grown men out there that still believe our government cares.

Having once had to bug out with two young sons in tow (fleeing for my life) through one of the hottest deserts on Earth (the Nullarbor, in Australia), I can tell you, this guy did almost everything wrong! Every desert dwelling tribe travels at night, and pitches their tents and sleeps during the day! The darkness protects you from the heat of the sun, but also from bandits. You choose an area with at least a little shade (even a shaded rock) and sleep through the hottest part of the day. At dusk you wake up, eat, drink, pack your kit while there is still some light and and prepare to move on, as soon as it is dark. If you come across a dry lake bed, don't think that you can shortcut across it safely! You can be seen for miles in every direction, there is no shade, and usually no water. In addition to this, dry lakebeds and salt pans sometimes have quicksands (or in salt beds, thin crust that hides deadly caustic reservoirs of super-concentrated saline). Keep to the foots of mountain ranges, there is usually water and shade there, and also often patches of forest or scrub that contain wildlife that you can hunt! Even in a desert, trees often have hollow trunks that fill with water during a rain, or they may store drinkable quantities of water in their trunks or just under their bark. It depends on your area, but in Australia, Paperbark trees and Baobab (Boab) trees are known water sources for Aboriginal tribes, also all opuntias (Prickly Pears) are fully edible (just watch out for the spines and also glaucids (almost microscopic irritating spines or hairs), and their fruit and pads are a good source of water. Opuntia pads and fruit can be de-prickled by either brushing them with a coarse broomy shrub or briefly roasting them on the coals of a fire. Some other cacti have poisonous leaves and stems (san pedro, peyote, saguaro especially), but all cactus and succulent fruit is edible, and most are quite juicy as well! The other cactus that is fully edible is Cholla, although it has a lot of spines and glaucids, which can be burnt and then scraped off. It is called the "Jumping Jack" or "Boxing Glove" cactus for a reason, though, so you will have to be very careful when harvesting it! I hope this information helps someone, if you ever have to bug out into a desert biome. God Bless!

Love these post apocalyptic movies! I watch them like there’s no tomorrow!😂

Do not, I repeat, DO NOT bug-out without a plan, provisions, protection and a safe place to go.

If this ever happens I am going to stay in the safety of my own home. Until there is nothing left.

2:09 If you don't want someone to kick your door down, "INSTALL IT SO IT OPENS OUTWARDS". Kicking against the entire perimeter of the door is impossible. When I lived in Finland, we had 3-inch-thick doors that opened outwards.

From the evening when I watched The Day After with a group of friends as a teen to this very day I swear I am staying put. I’m not traveling aimlessly. I’m hunkering down in my home. When I get robbed and killed I would rather it be in my home than exhausted, cold, tired and in great fear along the road. In my opinion it will happen either way.

Prepare for the worst and hope for the best

If this ever happens, every human being you encounter would have to be considered a deadly threat.

This short video was so surreal that I almost shed a tear. Just thinking about my 9 year old little boy who I cherish and love with all of my heart. I would totally lose it if anything were to happen too him. When I watch videos like this I try to put myself into their shoes, their mindset, dreaming.......I love all of you, be safe out there, very trying times.

I believe it will ring true, "The Government wont help you". Politicians only concern will be saving themselves.

If you wait until there is a problem to try and leave the city, , , you aren't leaving the city.

My neighbor says it best. They'll never take his guns, but they can have his bullets......, one at a time

Stay in your home until most of the first panic is over (about 30days) until you hit the road. It's too dangerous outside and you're home can offer a defendable area.

I've seen this film 4 times now and being a father of two beautiful boys it hits home harder every time I see it . I stay on my knees and ask God to protect us not just my family but all who are going to suffer WHEN this scenario plays out . God have mercy on us All . If you don't know Jesus Christ I would suggest you look for anything that would bring you to his love . He really is our only true hope .

Ammo ammo ammo...worth more than gold.....

NEVER take what you have for granted! Always be grateful for it. Nothing in life is a given and hope that or something similar to that tomorrow never becomes today.

This why u prepare/train survival and join or make a prepper group

This scenario is just around the corner. Have fun!

Your home is your castle, defend it.

Awesome I am a retired law enforcement officer I see this happening

And at long last...here we are.

Awwww the children in the apocalypse storyline is always gut wrenching.😭

welcome to the apocalypse kids....good luck

The dropping of the teddy bear as symbolic end of childhood signifying the death of the child was very powerful illustration of cinematic imagery.

AWESOME! Can’t wait to see more. Well done.

Could've just use live footage of Seattle and saved on the fires and explosion effects.

We‘re so close to a scenario like this. Be prepared…

Prepare but do it quietly. Tell no one you have supplies stockpiled. Especially those who live around you. So many measures to take.

Prepare to say goodbye to what was, and get ready for what’s coming 🤔

give them the diversity and equity award for such a crazy mix of people at the end

The first caller in this film must live in Portland, Minneapolis or Seattle.

My daughter has two, almost three little ones. It breaks my heart to think about them making their way across the country home to a better safety than where they are now. It's terrifying.

who coming in on this video with corona pandemic going round?

Ill be honest i came expecting a mediocre storyline and set, but when i watched it i was blown away and i couldnt have been more wrong, major props to you and everyone who helped make this

How ironic that I come across this at a time like this w/Covid 19! 3up

Crying. I have a son named Alex who is around the same age as the boy in this film. It made me want to cuddle both him and his little brother. Such a sad film.

Omg I'm watching this with my 2 year old son sleeping next to me and I started crying when his son said he couldn't feel his legs, I know my fiancee thinks I'm just one of those "crazy peppers" because I spend a lot of time watching learning and practicing survival skills and reloading ammo for all my guns and I pray that we don't see something like this come to pass it scares the living fuck out of me to think about it. I hope to god my son and I don't have to go through this I don't sleep much and this definitely didn't help that at all

I hope that you will be doing more on this series.

4:18...Salt Lake City, my home. Very eerie given the current climate.

That's all there is me and my son and I will do anything ANYTHING to keep him safe

Blessings to you! Very well done I hope that this reaches many and that it awakens them.

This is beautifully made and deserves a full movie. And a game. And a franchise.

What an awesome short film, can't wait to see more. Great cliffhanger ending.

I walked in during the news report and thought it was really happening...

Just went and hugged my son. He is two and is sick right now. Temp got up to 105 the other night and I panicked so badly. Chemical weapons are the worse. There is a reason they’re banned

I bugged out once in front of a wildfire. Remembered son, pets, computers, a few irreplaceable items... and forgot pants. Pants.

Man its scary as hell thinking about something like this could actually happen

The four at the end brought it all to a screeching halt- equally matched stilted acting.

We're probably pretty close to this

Next time just stay in your house instead of wondering the desert.

Hell with the critics , this is well done ,better than some Netflix stuff I've seen , keep up fantastic work

Here in San Diego CA, our choices are the Desert, Mexico and LA. All of which are Death Traps in their own way. Ergo, I have resolved to survive in place. Bring it on !

Cinematography is second to none. Great work guys.

My journey into prepping started much less dramatically much more realistically 1993. The No Name Storm hit. With absolutely no warning. We didn't know we were in it until we were in it deep Got caught completely flat footed with no power, food, phone, or water and half a tank of gas for two weeks Never again I've survived within any real inconvenience and actually thrived through several hurricanes so far. And when the shortages of the pandemic hit i didn't even notice. I'm currently putting this training and education into a bugout/INCH truck with enough resources to stay off grid completely for at least a month and to defend it

You don't put a hunting knife in the pack, it goes on your belt. We attended an MRT rescue, to a man who had strangled himself with his own rope, He had a sharp hunting knife in his backpack!

looking forward to the next short. This one was great.

This scared the hell out of me .I'm going to watch Japanese bikini models.

Taken today out of my 4 years of preparedness to always make sure I take an afternoon to take notes and see what I need to work on? It's May 26th and for the past year I can report at least in the south in the Massachusetts there what is a very small pocket of Americans left? There's absolutely no industry at the southern Massachusetts anymore we haven't seen our fishing and our wailing and our cod fishing industries up and running in 2 years, it's open and the lights are on but there's no boats out in the water, as a matter of fact one of them blew up not too long ago because they're sitting there rotting away, more teachers are pretty much at my son's school making it very clear how f****** high on heroin they're getting, and I'm just continuing to prep. This video was great work. Absolutely great work I've already gotten three notes taken in the beginning, also I don't know why there's people that still think the government cares they're just going to run into Cheyenne mountain, and their new space force Raven Rock, and they're going to be laughing at all the footage that they see because that's what they do we're just peasants disposable income to them and they are our enemy, again God isn't you know.

Episode 2 is all flashback about how Clive is a legit badass. Episode 3 is clive getting his knife back Episode 4 has the ballistic priest coming to the camp and only clive is living.

a good movie for being a low budget it is amazing on how good people can turn out good movies with out hollywoods backing. good movie keep em coming !!!

I just bought a couple hundred rounds of more ammo after watching this

I had goosebumps! Great little film!

That sound travels fast from those explosions. Probably the best shtf short I've seen. Can't wait for more.

It appears that washing machines will still work during the apocalypse. Everyone's so neat and tidy! :-)

It's so amazing how man doesn't see this all coming love this film it's a masterpiece

Love the magic tv. we are so used to being able to see the idiot box it's available during the most desperate of times. Comcast is our God. God save Comcast.

Very well done!!! I cried for Alex at the end. Keep up the good work!

This was very well done. ENjoyed it a lot. Thanks

Top shelf production keep up the good work.

Wow! Nice work! Drew me in and kept me there. Funny dialogue, Dave:) but it works. Sad and want to see more. Thanks for posting!

I don’t know what people are complaining about. After watching this video I went to Amazon Prime video looking for the movie!.... not kidding. Nice work.... you’ve got me hooked!

Unarmed Clay, puts his son in a paint/particulate mask. Pitches a tent outdoors, with no friends/allies. Illustrative perhaps of one of the many ways urbanized naifs will meet their end.

If I made a short film like this I would title as "award winning" as well...

The government will be in bunker, bunkers are for continuation of government only. Any government employee that has the badge to get in a bunker, that badge is for ONE person only, family is not included.

If you want a great place to film a post apocalypse film, the island of Ebeye in the Marshall islands would be perfect

You this was great! Part 2 with the Corona virus

Just abit of information for preppers, those dust masks have practical drawbacks. I've worked at lead smelters & I can tell you after wearing those types for 12 hours a day for several weeks they really start to hurt. Must be clean shaven to seal the masks effectively & the cartridges do get blocked up in dusty conditions so spares are necessary. Full face masks are the go for long term usage.

Should we be worried that so many short story makers are able to find areas of America that resemble Post Apocalyptic wastelands so easily.

Its almost like a prequel to The Road.

I watch a lot of these short films. This one stuck with me, probably because I have a son. Good job on this film!

First time on here First time subscriber Great movie Thank you

That was awesomeness!

Why did this end?? Dude this is so amazing. Make a full movie with this material cause I guarantee you that this will make the big screen! Amazing detail and it left me hanging with so many ideas as to what will come when they arrive in town

I want the manufacturer of that fireproof tent! The forest is gone, but that tent is untouched!(?) That's just any ol summer in Arizona!🤭

A lot of work went into making this film. Well done. Thumbs up and subbed.

There is 💯 proof and facts in what you say. The irony is it falls on deaf ears and it will take after reality sets in for realizations to set in.

2024 and this aged well! Get your house in order!

It's crazy how I lived in the city for 44 years and talked about stuff like shtf to buddies now I'm in the country and feel much safer

Very good (but sad) shortfilm.

Nicely done. Subscribed and hit the bell. So I'm standing by for the next WROL.

My heck it's like a mirror image of 2023

The road 'lite'. On a side note. It's not possible to tell who was the goody and who was the baddy. I like that.

Very few Hollywood films can even replicate this oh shit everything has gone to shit vibe. Hats off to the makers of this awesome short film.

one of the very best & I REALLY MEAN IT !!!!!

Saw the first one about a year ago and loved it so I am glad to see this on the air(sorta)!

Why aren't the episodes numbered? Or does it even mater in which order they're watched? I want to watch, but don't want to end up starting in the middle or end.

Great movie short. I just pray this (apocalypse) thing never happens. At least you folk in the USA have a constitutional 2nd amendment, the Castle doctrine, Stand Your Ground laws etc. Therefore, you have access to guns and you can defend yourselves. Here in Canada, we don't have such statutes, so we are basically toast. Since our citizens are not allowed to own firearms for self defence and only for sporting/hunting purposes. Unless you own a firearm for those reasons, the rest of us would be at the mercy of the thousands of criminals here who own guns illegally. Usually they are smuggled in from the US. For you see, here we depend too much on our police forces and the government to protect us.

This is the g version, the reality will be much much worse.

Loved it !!
