just don't over react though...when it happens it happens...we can never be fully prepared.

Thanks

May i suggest most of the posts weren't
about Preparing for an End Of World scenario...
those posts mostly talked about REACTING to
some possible/eventual Dooms=Day?!?

scavanging their own little piece of a Mad Max world

theres an old time movement that revolved around
self-reliance & self-sufficiency...a back-to-earth lifestyle

rather than the Bunker/ Thunder Dome mentality

for enduring & thriving, you might want to begin now
by getting off-the-GRID, for example...

got milk?

the end of civilization is another story. you better be able to survive for yourself. that means actually working. then i would say i hope you have at least one skill so you can barter or something. maybe being a theif would be good. but based on most people in the world today who cant live without their cell phones, or ooo survivor on t.v. they would certainly not last that long. but dont feel bad for those people they will probably do it to themselfs.

'?maybe a theif would be good'?

no, being a theif would be risky, the rewards being
some easily carried/transported/traded trinket...the
negative side of this is: When caught, the penalty
would likely be Execution!!
**not a good Risk--Reward result**

The theivery trait also would not work because
when society is reduced to family, clan, or tribe units...
and the survival of the members is the paramount thing,
theft would be a capital? offense.

If you mean, stealing from other tribes, groups...
then your bringing the worst aspects of this corrupted
world into the aftermath world..
What about Negotiation? Trade? to attain or secure
the things you would steal for??

If you mean, you wouldn't actually steal, theive from others, but be cleaver enough to devise plots that
would gain a reward at anothers' expense, dismay....
then you have malfeasence in your core (soul-mind)
and would not be a 'trustworthy' person--->
therefore shunned, and only allowed to live on the
fringes, the perihiphery of the family/clan/tribe unit.

the theif is only a survivable lifestyle in groups larger
than villages or perhaps hamlets, but surely towns!

happy sunday morning to you.....

Well, the way i see it is, if the world as we know it ends (and i say "as we know it" because i dont meen the world itself, i meen the world we know such as civilization) then you better be a survivalist.
Know how to live off the land, fish & hunt.

Set traps. Traps to catch animals, thieves and eventually to kill people (cause they are definately going to kill you).

Build shelters and other things such as rain catchers (for water), wind mills (for a small percent of electricity for many different uses),

Know how to make all sorts of weapons and have the material already in your possession (it wont be easy getting the stuff once it all goes down). Bombs, guns, RPG's, trip wires, mines, napalm ,, all these things would be a GREAT thing to know how to make because you are going to have to defend yourself, loved ones & your possessions from desperate people. Homemade weapons are very effective in times like these.

It wouldn't hurt to have a VERY TRUSTWORTHY group of friends, eventually even those friends will get desperate and betray you because it will get to a point that u won't be able to find food anymore, thats when cannibalism will kick in and you would have to protect yourself from desperate people wanting to eat you, even your friends will get hungry enough and come after you (in the end NOBODY is your friend no matter how much you trust them right now, even your own family could betray you during this time, desperation will always win).

Living in the woods would be the best place to be. But if and when this happens, EVERYONE will be running for the woods because the cities will become hell on earth, people killing, raping, gang wars, wars against the police and army, the police and army will become your enemies to protect the cowardly/scared politicians who are only trying to protect themselves for bringing this apon us all. The cities will basically be war zones, and the woods will become over crowded with refugees, all the animals will eventually be hunted down to till there is no more. So you better have a damn good fortification set up and ready for the desperately hungry people coming to take what you have and possibly eat you.

Having things to trade wouldn't hurt neither, it could help in keeping a social order amongst you and your neighbors. Money wouldn't do you any good, its worthless paper, might aswell use it for toilet paper. Things such as tools and water and food will be GREAT trading things (but you don't want to trade your weapons). But this trading wouldn't last very long, people will run out of things to trade, food will be gone (eventually from all the hunting in one area and all moving to a new area, eventually there will be no area to go to from all the refugees running into the woods).

All in all, we will all eventually kill ourselves off in desperation, all civilization will come down to trading, then to "hunting and gathering" as our ancestors did, then to desperate cannibalism (which is where all hell breaks lose and everyone kills each other off). You may live for awhile, but your going to suffer to the end.

This may all seem crazy, but its how it will go, you can't survive, thats why its called THE END. As much as you don't like to hear it, this could happen over night or in a short sentence I DECLARE WAR. As you all know, the American economy is collapsing, but what you all probably don't know, is THE ENTIRE WORLDS ECONOMY IS COLLAPSING. THIS is the first stage of the end of civilization people. When the economy collapses, money is worthless, its just paper, GOLD will be the only valuable thing, but do any of you have that much gold? NO !!, that was taken from us and put in the BANKS and the Federal Reserve. Right before the economy collapses (and you won't be warned) the government will call for ALL gold and precious metals to be handed over. Go ahead & give it to them, it won't help you when the economy collapses anyways. Who would want it? The End is here, BLAME OUR GOVERNMENT !!!!!

Family is something I worry about when it all goes down. I don't know what to do about my family. I know that I could survive on my own in the wilderness (well a couple of friends and I all have the same mindset, so itll be us) but what to do about my family? I can't say stuff to them about it now cuz they'll think I've lost my mind, but I have so much family (close relatives) that it'll be hard for us to move around together and such.

Has anyone else given thought to this? Oh yeah, and what if it happens after I get married. That's double the worry.


I hear ya man. My family thinks I'm nuts. That includes my girlfriend, parents, step parents, 4/6 siblings, grandparents and I'm sure any others that I decide to try and persuade. Not to mention I have a baby, and that opens a whole new can of worms. It may sound cold, but when it all comes down, my only concern is my child. Let the naysayers (family or not) have their NWO. My dad always says things like "The only good part about banging your head against the wall, is it feels so good when you stop" and "you can lead a horse..." blah blah blah. Well, I tried, and am going to try more to enlighten them, but this is one time that I'm going to take his advice. My advice to you, as petty as it may be, is DO NOT HAVE A BABY. At least not until this whole mess blows over (if it does).
