I caught part of a show on the Discovery Channel last night called "The Colony".  It is a controlled experiment with 10 people showing how to survive a post-disaster life.  They must find shelter, food, water filtration and more.  I thought it was interesting that Ramen Noodles and canned goods were the things they found.  Makes me appreciate them in my food storage even more.

Here is a link to their show: http://dsc.discovery.com/tv/colony/colony.html?campaign=dsc-int-hp-dl-cy
