If You Must Watch TV...

Ideally you would be spending your time in activities that will make you more likely to survive the next disaster such as exercising, working in your garden, reading, taking a class, etc. But if you must watch TV, you might as well watch something useful. Here's some ideas:

• Mega Disasters
• Man Versus Wild
• How It's Made
• It Takes a Thief
• Mythbusters
• The Dave Ramsey Show
• Survivorman
• Ninja Warrior
• Unbeatable Bansuke
• This Old House
• Nova
• Forensic Files

I guess you can tell that I mostly watch the Discovery and the History channels. Of course this is TV so you really can't believe everything you see here but at least these shows will give you some preparedness/survival tips and ideas. Happy viewing.
p.s. If you do watch TV and use an antenna on your roof or rabbit ears to acquire your TV signal, you will need to buy a set top converter box prior to February of next year when televisions in the US stop broadcasting in analog and begin broadcasting in digital. Go to http://www.dtv.gov/ for more information and a coupon to purchase the converter.
