Our Vision of the Post-Apocalypse Is Wrong
-
Narrated by:

By:
What would it take to survive after "the end of the world?" A whole culture of prepping often focuses on a familiar fantasy: grab the gear, flee the city, defend the bunker, survive alone. Anthropologist and survival instructor Chris Begley thinks that’s probably the wrong movie. Ben walks through what history and math show people actually do when civilizations break down — and what they need, from dodging poisonous acorns to forming new communities. Also: luxury bunkers, survival sporks, and the unfortunate role of politics in a world of ruin.
Guest:
Chris Begley, author of The Emergency Playbook: A Bunker-Free Guide to Disaster Preparation.
