A Q&A with Seth
Q: Are you suggesting now that we all equip toilet plungers to protect ourselves?
Seth: No no no. Of course not. I would never do that. Who told you that? Les Stroud? Survivoman? If so he’s lying. Nice guy but he couldn’t even survive a baby leprechaun fight let alone a…
Q: No, I mean because in this latest season, you Seth appear to defeat a headless zombie with a toilet plunger.
Seth: OH THAT. Well obviously nothing can replace a sharp katana or mace in skilled hand-to-hand supernatural combat but how many of us really have access to them in our daily lives? Me, obviously. I have so many of them it’s hard to know which one to choose. So the ability to improvise a weapon is vitally important. Who doesn’t have a toilet plunger lying around? With the correct training anything can be a weapon. That’s the point I’m trying to make this season.
Q: When did you first realize your mission was to save humanity from supernatural threats?
Seth: As a physics student in university, I began to notice a lot of supernatural badness going on. Vampires, werewolves, zombies, demons, leprechauns suddenly everywhere you go. Some of them are very bad ones. And so much misinformation about them. Everywhere you turn. Most of it perpetrated by the monsters with access to their supernatural PR machines: Hollywood, TV, candle parties, Twitter, school libraries, Facebook, the Internet, …
Q: But aren’t you on the Internet?
Seth: Am I?
Q: Yes.
Seth: Oh. Am I as popular as LOL Cats?
Q: Not even close.
Seth: Not even the mangey little gray one with the underbite?
Q: No.
Seth: So the deal with CNN?
Q: Dead.
Seth: Just because I implied Ted Turner might be a cannibal?
Q: I don’t think that helped. But they say they already have a supernatural survivalist on staff.
Seth: Oh well, maybe I should clarify just in case. I don’t actually think Ted Turner is a cannibal. Yet.
Q: How do you capture all of that footage for the show?
Seth: Survival HQ is fully equipped with motion tracking remote cameras in every room and of course Sam usually has a hand held just for back up.
Q: What exactly is Graham doing over there at the computer during the show?
Seth: I ask myself the very same question. He’s supposed to be managing and integrating the feeds from our diverse cameras. But sometimes I wonder too you know he hasn’t had a girlfriend in a while. Hey Graham what exactly are you doing over there at the computer?
Graham: Plotting your destruction.
Seth: He doesn’t mean that. We’ve been friends since Grade 3. First day of school Graham suffered a number of Atomic Wedgie burns. I showed him how to avoid them, having dealt with them for years myself. Right Graham?
Graham: Yeah.
Q: How do you deal with Atomic Wedgie burns?
Seth: Vaseline and breakaway underwear.
Q: Thanks.
Seth: Don’t mention it. Can I count you as a Life Saved now?
Q: Sure.
Seth: Yes! Okay so can you go back and click on the site again to register that?
Q: I suppose so.
Seth: Thanks.
Q: So what’s next for Seth on Survival?
Seth: Well we’re just going to keep on keeping on. Sure right now, I’m a little bummed out because Naya dumped me again. And my mom says I have to start looking for a job. But I just take it day by day, reading my email, all the inspiring survivor stories, they really keep me going. BTW if you are interested in funding future episodes of SOS then please email me!
How do I protect myself from vampires?
Hail Survivor Dakota. Thanks for writing in. Your vampire survival question is especially important right now. I’m sorry to say that when it comes to protecting yourself from vampires, it seems like there are no longer any easy answers. Back in the old days, you would just arm yourself with a simple wooden cross, a stake and a squirt gun full of holy water. And sometimes this still works, but only on old vampires. But these newer vampires? Oi! Trickier! Much trickier. With their glowing or even sparkly skin, their hypnotic love-struck eyes and perfect hair…It’s very tempting these days to just say, if you can’t beat them, why not join them? After all, they’re sooooooooooo cute. Then you too could live forever – right?
WRONG! Vampire propaganda! The average vampire wants to MARINATE you in your own blood NOT MARRY you for crying out loud! Once a week they feed on one to three humans! So to answer your question – how do you protect yourself? When they are all so different now and sooooooo hot?
Well one thing hasn’t changed. Sunlight. We can debate whether it causes vampires to go up in flames or just sparkle sexily but the fact remains – THEY DON’T LIKE IT. Think of anything that enables you to harness the UV power of sunlight. Graham and I are working with a photovoltaic expert as we speak to develop a number of these weapons and strategies including a so-called Tesla shield or fence. When they are ready we will of course test them in our videos. Until then, you may want to invest in a number of UV flashlights and light bulbs from your local hardware store. But really the best advice – just STAY AWAY from suspected vampires. Use your Monstrometer to detect new vampires. Like the one they call “DQ!” She’s a self-confessed vampire who lurks on this site. Whatever you do don’t fall for her! No matter how preternaturally hot she might be!
Uh Seth, not to be mean, but most vampires don’t actually sparkle.
Hey Seth all my comments are in m0d! Even this one I bet and all of them are not even rude or offensive and I haven’t given any personal details and when they do come out of m0d nobody sees them! It’s as if they haven’t been posted!! PH!!!!
They don’t sparkle or go up in flames! They start stinging and stinging and they sting some more. It hurts as if you just stung by a wasp all over your body, but vampires will steam, or smoke but they’ve never caught up into flames right on the spot! Thats old movies and myths. And they don’t sparkle that’s twilight
My husband and I are building a house and we have a lot of farm land. Our biggest fear is a full blown zombie outbreak. We have some ideas but how would YOU go about zombie-proofing your land?
Hail Survivor Summer!
Glad you wrote in. First off congrats on the new house. Secondly congrats on making the wise decision to zombie proof your new home!
I am very excited to hear your ideas on zombie-proofing. Please share them here and I may include them in my upcoming home improvement guide: SOS – Monsterproof Your Home: Zombie Edition – with all credit to you of course.
Some easy measures you will find there include moving away from traditional structures to the use of stilts and/or trees along with attention to detail that can make a difference, like round door knobs instead of the dangerous new lever type popularized by zombie lobbyists and the basic good strong doors.
More extravagant options include turrets on each corner of your house (hey they worked on castles and they say your home is your castle so…) and putting in solar and wind power generation technology as well as the ever popular helipad on the roof.
Outside your home keeping the land free of zombies is more challenging but you have a lot of options and some great opportunities here too. Installing an electric fence is a great as is putting up surveillance cameras and a laser grid perimeter as an early warning of potential zombies. To reduce the expense, consider this low-budget alternative – tie some empty tin cans to a string and run that around the perimeter of your land. When you hear clanking cans it means that zombies are coming. Or that it’s going to be a windy day. Either way, good to know.
If I use any of your tips in my book Survivor Summer I will send you a copy once it comes out along with a complimentary bottle of Spray Nine.
Seth
Help I live near an old cemetary I see shadows and hear voices what should I do plus my sisters are keep gettin possessed
Hail Mathew,
That is a conundrum. Thanks for writing in. Old cemeteries do not the best neighbors make. New cemeteries are even worse though so at least you’ve got that going for you. I would advise moving to a safer location say a skyscraper in Haiti, a cottage on the San Andreas Fault or a houseboat in Somalia…
But if moving to a safer location is not an option for you there may be a couple of things you can do and do not in this situation.
First salient point – salt. I personally haven’t tried this but corroborating reports exist of ghosts and demons not being able to cross a line of salt. Some say blessed salt. Now I’m not entirely sure who must do this blessing or if you can purchase pre-blessed salt or if you can just do it yourself like when somebody sneezes just like, “Bless you salt,” or if you need to research a specific invocation. I’m still looking into suppliers. But once you have this salt, if you make a line on the ground with it around the border of your property, this is said to repel demons and ghosts.
Salt lamps plugged into your electrical outlets at home may also be effective. This I also have not tested yet but since these lamps are readily available at specialty health stores, it probably can’t hurt to try and may be quite tasty too.
Lastly, you may be tempted to try and capture the fun on video for your You Tube channel. And that is certainly an option but if you do this, just be forewarned that nothing provokes a ghost or demon more than the presence of a video camera. Well except a Ouija Board. And baby powder. But these aside, nothing gets a grisly performance from them like a video camera. So don’t do it. But if you DO do it… can we have a link? Please?
Thanks again Mathew. Keep on keeping on. And please keep us posted.
Seth
if only you could see the irony in that seth…
Hail Brad,
Er what I miss here? Irony? Irony! The single most dangerous figure of speech. You miss irony, you step in an irony trap, you have to gnaw off your own foot to get out.
And then you’re left with your bloody disembodied foot in your mouth. I hate that.
Okay so why’m I gnawing my foot this time?
Thanks for your hypothetical keeping on,
Seth
My life is pretty much nothing but irony. You get used to it after so long.
and seth, your “gnawing your foot off this time” because you just sat there telling him not to record it then your begging for a video.
Why couldn’t you just let me be happy? You just had to make me ANGRY!
Do you know what happens when I’m ANGRY?! You don’t want to know.
(kisses)
So just leave me be and I won’t get ANGRY anymore.
Will drinking more blood, stop my anger issues?
Hail Lucien,
I solemnly regret overlooking your reply for 18 long days. If you are still keeping on the answer to your question is: yes and NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Well yes, it will temporarily put your issues at bay. Vampires report fleeting temporary feelings of peace and well-being – followed by looooong hours of self-loathing and rage. Ask yourself, is it really worth it?
So tell me what’s the story here Survivor? Are you an abstinent vamp who fell off the wagon? Or a noob with an uncontrollable thirst?
In either case please consider the simulated blood replacement trials described here. They are making it from skin cells now and I understand it tastes pretty good, depending on whose skin is involved of course. Will you try it and let us know?
(Researchers have yet to determine if it leads to eventual skin cravings among vampires.)
Seth
How do I know if I’ve got Werewolves by my house? I’ve suspected myself of being a werewolf,
because my eyes changed and I have dog canines.
Do you know how i can tell? Also I have a few more questions
•what are the signs of a werewolf
•how to tell if monsters live nearby
•making a werewolf crib/crate
??,
Sorry!
I forgot about the most importat one, as usual.
But I am very fascinated with werewolves.
I was super annoyed at my brother and in one kick I almost broke his leg! Now I need to control my anger. 
I am super agitated at times people had better wztch out. I want to get rid of my anger by becoming a werewolf. I know it probably isn’t a good idea…
So do you know any superstitions/legends/spells that would make me a werewolf?
Thanks!
Im not seth but hopefully i can help. Becoming a werewolf wont solve anger problems, and could even make it worse. you could try meditation, relaxing music, astral projection, or simply finding something that makes you happy.
Thanks Jaffassassin for helping out this survivor. It’s true what he says here. Becoming a WW is far from a cure for anger. In fact the cycle of repeated, painful transformations results in surges of adrenal hormones that mimic and enhance anger. So-called were-rage is a big issue here on the site.
Given that LIttle Devil, how can you be sure you’re NOT a WW? Got any strange ancestors who liked the full moonlight?
Keep on keeping on,
Seth
Okay, thanks. I’ve heard just after I sent that comment being a werewolf is worse than it seems. On my tests I’ve done I’m mostly werewolf and a little leprauchan.
I’ve got two questions now…
•Can drinking water from a werewolf’s pawprint make me a werewolf?
•Should I Become a werewolf for the full full moon period?
Also thanks for the answers. I guess I don’t exactly need Seth, although I would like him to answer some of the time! Thanks again.
Hail Little Devil,
Thanks for keeping on. Sometimes it takes me a day or two or even longer to get to a question because I am on a mission like the Ghost Convention in San Diego or finding Louis Pine. That’s why I really appreciate it when survivors help each other and why there’s a Survivor of the Month prize every full moon.
Now to your excellent question. I have never heard of anyone wolfing out after drinking WW Paw-water. It sounds like a clever marketing scheme for a new energy drink though. “Pawater Power.” Something like that. If it doesn’t exist we should invent it! Anyone who makes that commercial let me know. I want to invest.
Now about your Monstrometer results. Werewolf-leprechaun is an unusual mix but not unheard of. It usually means a leprechaun who has been bitten though. Have you recently been bitten that you can recall? If you can’t recall, I recommend doing a full-body inspection – there may be a bite mark you can’t recall!
Seth
While waiting for the bus this morning I heard a werewolf! It sounded like a whiny howl with changes in the tone a little bit. Not a coyote, not a wolf. Does anybody else think this howl was from a werewolf?
This morning it was dark and foggy and quiet and a little wet. Was it a werewolf howl?
Hail Little Devil,
I can’t be 100% sure if the howl you heard was a werewolf or not but it IS the month of the Singing Moon! So-called Singing Werewolves, who have their first transformations under the Singing Moon are known for their powerful howls. I have never met one in person – that I know of anyway – so I’m not exactly sure how this works or what this sounds like but did this howl make you feel weird in any way? Also were you waiting for somebody to meet you at the bus stop? Or do you normally wait alone?
At any rate we can expect this full moon to hear a lot more howls. The Singing Moon rises on September 30. BTW – I learned about singing wolves from the werewolves at Lupine Life here… They are long-time WW friends of survival.
Thanks for keeping on with survival!
Seth
I was waiting alone. I live out in the country and my drive-way is really long so the end is a “bus stop.” Thanks for the help. I felt very curious, slightly happy, and barely any fear came to me. Is this a sign?
Also I reset my test results as I accidentaly did ‘self’ for one of my friends. The total for now is:
Werewolf:2 85%
Cyborg: 1 93%
Is this a odd mix? Sorry for all the questions! I’m new so I’m REALLY curious.
Please help me!!!
I haven’t made a crib yet! I can only transform in my room! OH NOOO! I’m 11 and a singing werewolf! What do I do! How will I prevent the transformation/make it so I can do it!? Please help me! ASAP!
You need wolfsbane all around where your planning to transform. And you need to weigh yourself down with Silver. It may keep you from wolfing out.
Lol, sorry for all the comments. Seth, I remember you asking ‘How Can You Be Sure You’re NOT A WW?’ Well, I’ve seen to that. For starters, I’ve never transformed. I can’t find any bitemarks.
But, in Louis Pine’s videos his dad left him, right? Well, my dad left me as a baby. I’ve never thought of it before, but could he have left me as so to not hurt me? As a baby I grew up in the city- how could he have built a crib? Anyways, when my mom met Dad, my stepdad, we moved to the country. Think I’m a genetic werewolf?
Seth, I also really need your (or a experienced werewolf’s) help. I found out I was a werewolf a few months ago. Now I think I am a Singing Werewolf. I feel this full moon will be my “time”. But I haven’t built a crib! Should I try to transform outside? Or do young werewolves not kill(-age edited out by Seth-). Please help! I need suggestions on
•Where to transform
•How to withstand it /survive it
•How to do it without being seen
For a little info- I have two dogs. Also I have a door in the basement, where I sleep. Any suggestions?
Have you hit puberty? If yes you’re a werewolf with the rest of the facts. NEVER STAY OUTSIDE AND ALL WEREWOLVES KILL AND SLASH AND DESTROY TRANSFORM IN A CRIB OR SHED YPU MAY BE A GENETIC WEREWOLF AND YOU MAY NOT TRANSFORM UNTIL YOU ARE 12 AND NEV WEAR SEILVER AT ALL IT’S EXETREMLY PAINFUL AS A VAMPIRE IN THE SUN SILVER WILL NOT HELP ICE IT WILL NOT HELP IT WILL CAUSE YOU EXETREME PAIN AND DISCOMFORT
Thanks Ice. Where does Wolfsbane grow? Wait, nevermind, I’ll search it up. I have a Silver necklace and bracelet for now, but I think I’ll need to transform.
I’ll try your suggestion.
By next full moon I should have a crib. There’s a shack in my dad’s field that I can clean out, fix up, and use. But I don’t think anyone would be my keeper…. Oh well, I’ll find a way.
Thanks for the help Ice. Ignore that last ^ comment, I didn’t see Ice’s reply.
^^
I wouldn’t wear silver, you can seriously harm yourself in mid transformation, or even get stuck in 1 form or a mix of two. Not fun.
Seth in the days that I havent be on me and my best mate Sam were looking into the supposed werewolf attaks and tutns out that quite alot of hikers were bitten my the lycanthrope and have wolfed out and chased us throu the woods and know me and Sam are traped in a shed when they break in I’ve hot my gun and well SAm had a pocket knife I’ll keep you up to date
I mean now not know I damn well hate the iPhone auto corection
YOU CAN: Turn auto-correction of in settings!
Also Alex, good point. But at full moon nights I go outside ans take it off- that’s my plan.
However, the silver would prevent myself from transforming.
It is enough to stop the transformation, but not enough to cause a allergic reaction.
After all, it’s only a bracelet and necklace.
But good point!
Also anyone I need to get a explanation of what a transformation is like so I can prepare for it.
Well, on your first transformation, it feels like you die….. Then come back to life. Well that’s how it felt to me anyway………
Even if its a braclet and necklace, it’s still silver. If your worried about hurting someone, leave your house and go far, far away. At your stage there isn’t really control over your form.
You might have already transformed and you can NEVER CONTROL YOURSELF, LYCANTHROPY IS ALL ABOUT THE KILLING CLAWING SLASHING RIPPING TEARING AND PAIN DON’T FORGET THE PAIN
But…. I’m only young teen, not allowed to go far far away! (Exact age will NOT be revealed)
I really am scared….
I’m not scared of hurtig somebody,
just of the transformation pains and what it’s like. That’s why I asked anybody who wanted to explain it.
All your bones dislocating and being put together in the wrong places. It’s definitly……. Interesting.
Then your head will start to get light as your lungs cannot work anymore! Hee hee! Imagine the feeling of being underwater without being able to take a breath! Imagine that for the entirety of the transformation. I hope you’re a speed shifter… Hee hee!
Or to explain it in one word……… PAIN
I don’t think I said this by the way, hi wolfy, haven’t seen you here in a while
Hi Alex, good to see ya
I know your age, you’re a preteen -.-
Uh okay… I’m scared for the pain of the transformation that’s all.
It does sound painful. Is it like Louis Pine’s transformation in his video?
Also what is it like and what do you do while you are a werewolf?
You’ll need to sneak out. Get as far away as possible.
(Also, wolfy, I’m thinking about starting a YouTube channel, should I?
Go for it!
Pain, that’s what it is. Feels like you were thrown off a cliff into a ocean of sharp rocks
Okay! Thanks
Also any other werewolves almost gotten kidnapped?
I almost got kidnapped today.
That would probably be our “friendly” neighbor Area 51. Many of us have had problems with kidnapping
Most likely
Ya, this guy stopped and looked for me while I was witing for the bus. I hid, but when I’m a werewolf I’m sooo going to attack him. Lol. Well, it was super creepy.
So I guess I am going to be careful of Area 51 then?
There’s a bright idea, attack a government agent who’s been trained to take down supernatural creatures and who may have back up. Your not immortal kid, that’s a myth. You die just like everyone else, my advice: keep your head down, act like a human and he’ll eventually move on.
Hail Little Devil,
Good point here from Ice. Thanks for making it. Werewolves are not immortal, an important thing to remember. And even among immortal beings there is significant variation in healing times. Immortal and fast healing would be awesome but immortal and slow-healing, festering wounds is the definition of hell.
Also in addition to A-51 you should be aware there have been reports of a private paranormal police force here on the site. Some say they are work with supernaturals objectively but others think they may be a Draconian force ie: funded and maintained by the draconians.
Until you know for sure who is watching, you best to not leave any clues.
Seth
Okay, sorry… I was kidding about attacking him. I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it to come out sp stupid lol. Well, you guys have been so nice to me thank yooo! I’ll find a way to repay you!
Because, if you think about it, your only a werewolf for like once a month! All the other days your a HUMAN. Humans are not inmortel. Just stay to the shadows and keep a look out for any guy wearing a black suit, covered in silver jewelry, and holding a big gun on his back. His name is Jonson I think. Any way, hide your face if you see the same guy you saw or Jonson….
OMG! I had like, almost a transformation. I can’t wait till the next Friday the thirteenth, as I celebrate it. Yum! I’m eating muffins right now lol. Soooo good.
Hail Little Devil,
Ah congrats on the grouse hunt. You might want to limit your transformation time for two reasons.
1. you appear to be under observation right now and
2. Pink eye can be very dangerous for werewolves. In most WWs the eyes are one of the first things to change in either direction and you can’t risk clawing out your human eyes. They won’t grow back!
Do you have sunglasses?
Seth
There is one more reason. If some Radom villager found out there was a giant mutant wolf-kid running around in the woods, they could set up a lot of hidden bear traps. Got my tail stuck in a small one before. Wasn’t the greatest night ever
Yes, I have dark sunglasses.
Lol. Anyways, good point I guess. Thanks. Oh and guys sorry that I’ve been so ignorant lately. I just am super busy.
Turns out Pink Eye doesn’t stop me from hunting.
I’m having kinda of a problem because I have had out of control shifting one mintiue I’m a dog then a cat then a bird
Seth, do you know how to bust a cyborg? I think this waiter we always have at a resteront is one, but I’m not sure.
ok i have a pure silver neckalace and it has moutian gold and pure gold on it to with a wolf howling on it if i am a werewolf would it effect me when i transform?
and it is my favorite necklace
Hi Seth I’m a werewolf do you know how I can change whenever I want and control it?
I don’t really think you can, but if you have a friend or fiend that is a shape shifter that Is willing to help you, then go for it!
