I was a newbe to the Walking Dead and just happened to stumble onto it on as re-runs on regular TV.

I never have had Cable TV but I remember seeing some of the Ads on regular TV and it did not impress me as being interesting.

So within the last couple of Months I have watched it on TV and I was overall very impressed. Great Drama.
Not much interested in the Zombies but the dynamics and the problems of a group of People trying to survive for me is excellent.

I got on the internet and found the City Library had 2 complete sets Seasons 1-4. Spent the best part of 2 Days watching the whole thing.

Unfortunately I could not share it with My Wife who could not separate the Zombie violence from real life and is too empathetic to watch.

It does a bit if a job showing the psychological cost on the Survivors.

The complete Season 5 is supposed to be available some time in Aug 2015.

Fictional and real survival Books and Films have always interested Me.

In the first Season they catch some Fish and are having a good time eating. No Sentries Posted?
And of course that goes bad and People die.
So you can lean from the Series that if you are in a hazardous situation you can never relax and never stop doing what is needed to survive.

Here is a real life example. A Man is in a Raft out in the Ocean. He had some supplies that came in the Raft. He ate some food and drank some Water but left part the Supplies sitting out in the open in the Raft.
A single big Wave came along and capsized the Raft dumping out a lot of his Supplies; ones that he should have put away when he was done.
Note; He ended up surviving anyway.
