New movie THE SURVIVALIST 2016

[CharlesHarris]

Watching the trailer on YouTube, his hovel is not well hidden or fortified enough, no perimeter alarms, living alone without a supporting community for security, defence and division of labour and to care for each other, would gravely reduce chances for long term survival. A secure hide, concealed gardens some distance away, dogs, geese or Guinea fowl for alerting to intruders are basic. It appears to me from this short clip that the screen writers didn't adequately research the subject matter and merely created a fantasy survival tale for uneducated sheeple.

If the concept of a lone survivor who has been out there successfully, already for 7 years, he would be the invisible gray man, skilled evader and bushcraft expert as well as resourceful subsistence farmer and "hippy".

A more believeable premise would be a European version of Lt. Hiro Onoda, maybe a downed Russian pilot surviving in Britain after a limited nuclear war and being unable to get home. He finds the ruins of an old Auxiliary Units bunker, builds his hide, and roams to forage and survive, hoping to pass for a homeless legal immigrant rather than an enemy combatant....

They could do lots better. Once somebody has seen the entire film, I'd like to hear more, but the trailer seems hollow.
