I posted on another thread ..
Beyond the Apocalypse; Surviving in the next Dark Age..
about "community" and how it will be necessary to survive. Others have stated the same thing.
So along that vein of thinking, what do
YOU believe would be necessary to create a sustainable community of people for before/during/after
TEOTWAWKI?
As I mentioned, this is something I've been giving alot of thought to over the past week or so. In my ponderings I've come up with a few
things/abilities that I feel will be an absolute must. Most of these things are "general" in scope. i.e. Tailor would be anyone able/willing to
spin/weave/sew.
Keeping that in mind, you also need to take into consideration the gathering of the raw materials needed. (i.e. Tailor will require raw matieral
(cotton, string, etc) in order to produce the end product.)
Leatherworker
Tailor
Blacksmith
Farmer (agri)
Animal Husbandry
Doctor/Nurse
Engineer (for building large things)
Electrician
Plumber
This is a short list, but is all I can come up with off the top of my head.
Another thing I think is crucial to community harmony is nothing to do with "religion" should be discussed during public meetings! And I also
believe, although not sure how this would work, that important decisions that effect the community should be discussed in public meetings and decided
on by everyone. No "King Of The Hill" crap.
Anyone else have any insights they would like to add?
