Do any of you remember the movie " Hatchet " where that kid goes to see his dad in like alaska or canada and the small plane he is in goes down after the pilot has a hart attack and all he has is his hatchet to survive? Oh yeah! The book was better than the movie. The book was written by Gary Paulsen, one of my favorite writers. There was also a part 2 and 3 to the book. It’s a good book for younger kids to interest them in survival and the outdoors. It was also a Newberry award winner. Yea i remember reading the book in school when i was a kid. But the book that realy got me into camping and survival stuff was " My Side Of The Mountain " I could read that book over and over again. Yep, I read that one too. I think there was a part two to that also.

Just rediscovered what's now my favorite . . "Panic in Year Zero".
Even though it's an old B&W 60's film, there's just something about this story of a man's attempts to keep his family safe after a nuke attack on L.A.
Locating & obtaining food, weapons, & tools; locating & attempting to conceal a retreat, hiding cashes of food in case their main location is discovered or for trade if captured; bartering ammo for medical services; etc.
Yeah, there's lots of good ideas represented in this oldie.

Thanks for the welcome, ksjumpmd.
Been peeking in off & on for a while, but decided to jump in on this one since this survival movie was so fresh in my mind. Kind of odd finding that old movie, hadn't seen anything about it or even thought aboubt it in years. Just happened to be on the back side of the "Last Man on Earth" DVD that I just bought for my son (he's into zombie movies right now). I think that thing that I liked most about it was Ray Milland's role as the Dad.
He reminded me of my Dad & other men of that era, normal everyday guys but they were all vets of WWII. Having lived through actual combat gave them something & Milland, in real life reputed to one of the finest marksmen the British Army ever produced, managed to bring this something to his role. His character starts out as a normal middle class Joe taking his family on a fishing trip, but when the hammer falls, he slips into a very military mindset with what seems to be ease & familarity.
