Surviving the Apocalypse with Bill Bailey & Richard Ayoade | Gadget Man

[Music] I've come to a nuclear bunker very deep in an Essex hillside to give apocalyptic survival a long-overdue reboot back in the 1980s the last decade to make any sense to anyone the British government issued this pamphlet telling the public how to survive a nuclear blast it suggested we live under the stairs eat tinned food and do button time in a bucket but not this canary when the final drop comes and it will come I'm going to want to be somewhere like this and I'm going to want an arsenal of GAD fortunately everything you need to survive a global disaster is now available to buy online most of it designed to mitigate against the multiple perils of camping holidays or the unholy hazards of pop music festivals don't need me to assess said gadgets it's a comedian musician and bunker lover hello Bill Bailey hello Richard thank you for joining me no welcome but this is a regular haunt if yours isn't it we often bring the family here kids parties and fun in the woods well today's not about fun it's about survival right so it's gonna get real I'm gonna have to keep up bill we need to safeguard our domes this things are falling mm-hmm it's the nuclear aftermath I don't know girders whatever winter the nuclear winter whatever it is we need the full act safety helmet hood okay looks like an attractive wallet something that you just keep your jumbo cards in inside a first-aid kit gloves porch and whistle everything you'll need in the event of global emergency or if you need to restock the rucksack of someone inexplicably stuck in 90s rave culture but as well as that you can now put it on your head for that no way away oh this versatile gadget hell's from Japan where because of the threat of earthquakes many children have a similar safety hood at school I feel immediately 100% safer and I like that this dangles because it provides a bit of movement and a bit of interest it's kind of like an anglerfish I feel a little bit like you know that's the bait you walk it along you think I forgot my socks wait a minute nope they're in South Australia the dogs run off whips out whistle now bill your head is safeguarded okay just gonna have to interlock my fingers let's leave you know the situation we're in you know it's the big mushroom cheese has gone down yes we need comms but how are we going to communicate talk we need to fire a chat this is an app that you can download hopefully pre-apocalypse yeah which will allow us to communicate without resorting to Wi-Fi I've tried to write hi Richard but it's come out as rinpoche ok fire chat uses Bluetooth to connect to friends who also have the app up to a distance of around 70 meters it can also use other Mobile's as stepping-stones to extend the range ideal for staying in touch post-apocalypse or at one of the UK's many tip-top pop festivals bill we've been fire chatting throughout the eve yes our batteries depletes it yep what are we gonna do I don't know get a new battery the bio light thermo electric charge the bio light is a kettle with a built-in thermoelectric generator a crucial piece of forward planning for the wilderness camper who cannot bring him or herself to cease tweeting I'm going to hook this into the phone oh look at that gosh we're literally charging with gas but what about the equally important matter of perhaps eating mm-hmm Soylent bill that names ringing a very very loud alarm bill Soylent has been developed for the time-poor to take the faff out of buying and cooking with max nutrition form in effort it's the perfect meal to consume only as an absolute emergency it has vitamin A C calcium iron vitamin D vitamin E vitamin K what is there only in terms of outdated bourgeois notions of taste the Soylent have any shortcomings as a foodstuff to repopulation to the New World Order mm that's oiling for you that really does hit a spot that's a chalky drink even though it's post fallout we still need to bunk down yes with Dignity course and a quorum betting yep these will come forgiving bill you know this cuz you're on the cusp as ever this is the wind catcher air pad to and ever the air pad washer for the whistles the air pad - has nailed it if you're outside for more than two hours it's likely you'll want a nap but how do you prepare for this necessity in a crisis situation check the wind catcher no pump required when you blow into the valve your breath is high ten times pulling in more of the surrounding air for speedy inflation so hang on you've got the airpo - what have I got then you've got wearable futon bill really what let's unsheath it together yes let's do that let me let me take it this Japanese design is aimed at workers looking to keep productive right up until they lose consciousness just slip it on to move effortlessly from work to power nap -

Richard to conclude our highly plausible post-apocalyptic scenario we need only ask what gadgets would require if the security of the bunker was suddenly compromised a lot of boats scramble scramble leave the futon behind it's a rental scramble scramble scramble [Music] in emergencies I always pop an OD oh Claire safer and longer-lasting than traditional pyrotechnics and visible support well we've survived yeah the world of light entertainment is safe to fight another day but what's about the Rose bill it's gonna be gridlock out there how are we gonna get out of here as part of any decent post-apocalyptic contingency plan you need transport standing by and ready for action have we got a chopper we don't have air wolf what we do have is this crate Wow check the Mantis this unique all-terrain transport was built by SFX Wizard Matt Denton who has just finished working on a much-anticipated new sci-fi film which we can't mention it weighs 1900 kilograms is 2.8 meters high and has a diesel engine to power its hydraulic legs but it only has one seat so my survival depends on jettisoning deadweight like Bill I'm gonna leave you with a spot gen3 is it an emergency GPS satellite tracker okay and that's what this does what just tells people yes if you press it the emergency services may well come all the best thanks Bill no no and you might survive this yeah so it's just the one seat in there is it just the one seat belt okay well I'll be fine and remember you're a guest not the pilot right yeah thanks yeah I've got tracking skills and trapping skills the political want to talk about insects taking over the world I made something like this been at the vanguard a giant mechanized mantis with plans for world domination as we have seen the world is a place of unrelenting savagery in danger you need a plow you need to prepare and you need to go John [Music]
