About this episode

The episode discusses managing relationships with individuals during a crisis, using the film Lifeboat as a reference point.

Beyond 'beans, bullets, and bandaids' is preparing to handle the people you could be cooped up with during a crisis event. Well-vetted survival groups are rare. Families or neighbors are far more common and will be a mixed-bag of stable individuals and those with potentially problematic personalities. Recognizing the issues early and dealing with them can prevent internal conflict from complicating your survival plan. Mic, Brian, and Jeff all watched the movie Lifeboat as a conversation starter about a mixed-bag of survivors. The IMDB listing for Alfred Hitchcock's Lifeboat, 1944.Streamable via Amazon Prime.
