I watched them struggle to build a generator and make wood gas for fuel, completely overlooking steam power or the bicycles that were sitting around. Funny how people look for to apply a specific solution from their own experience set and spend way too much energy on it rather than considering alternatives.
The handyman may be useful, but he is an opinionated asshole who would quickly grow tiresome. Several others are friction points with attitudes as well.
I also disagree with looting other people's property who are still in the area trying to survive themselves, it is only one step beyond that to killing all competitors in your AO.
Made me think, though. I would watch it again.

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat." - President Theodore Roosevelt, 1910
