Plastic Apocalypse I (The Original): Hedge Base

This is very first entry in the Plastic Apocalypse Saga, which most people are familiar with from my personal channel: / @theakker3b
It was filmed in 2011, originally as a random project on the side of my house to do over the summer, but it turned into an epic that millions of viewers have thoroughly enjoyed. I am so happy that I was able to create something inspirational and entertaining, and that it has generated a series that I will continue for years to come.

[@plasticapocalypseseries7591]

Announcement: A prequel is in the works, " Sabre Tooth". Click the link below to get an idea of the time-line of events of what has happened so far. Sabre-Tooth will most likely premier sometime between June 18th and June 24th. Stay tuned for more update pics this weekend. plus.google.com/u/1/photos/photo/100076968734395544323/6380917979128628866?icm=false&sqid=108348184635042700053&ssid=cec6fe41-f66d-428f-8227-f78465d8a77b
