    First, more than likely in the initial outbreak of "Zombies" most of the food and supplies in and around the big cities was probably used up by what survivors were left. Most stores barely keep 3 days of food on there shelves.

    Second, these people are not "preppers" so therefore do not have that mentality. Therefore they prolly thought to head for the hills to pitch camp, but stay close enough to continue to scour the city for supplies, friends, relatives etc? Maybe.. But i agree that they should have hit the road.

    3rd if fuel was in an issue for them then run generators to keep an rv cool is apparantly not possible, i dont blame them. Tent would be cooler as they are in what appears to be in the Georgia Summer which is very hot and muggy.

    As you watch further episodes you will see what happens, and it aint all good by no means. I just hope they learn from there mistakes. It is an enjoyabole show, well done. But i KNOW for fact most of us this site, and others similiar, would do things differently.

    I guess that could be the case, but the show never said specifically that was what happened. This guy, for some unkown reason, was left in his hospital bed while all the zombie mayhem was going on. People had to have turned into zombies in a very short period of time because he lived long enough to wake up. The flowers by his bed were wilted, that means at least a week had passed, maybe 10 days. I don't think all of the food and supplies would have been wiped out everywhere. Maybe in the city the supplies would be low, so they shouldn't even consider going there to search for them. Plus, it's too dangerous with all the zombies everywhere. In real life, it would make a lot more sense to head out into vast, open country areas with little original population, scavaging along the way. I know I couldn't sleep in a tent knowing there were zombies walking around anywhere! And now they found one in the woods eating a dead deer. If they don't pack up and get far away then they are beyond stupid and deserve to get eaten by the zombies. Still, I'm attracted to watching it if nothing more than figuring out all of their mistakes!
