- lukemit, on 06/08/2009, -0/+56I've seen Mad Max like 27 times. I'm good to go.
*goes back to making assless chaps and metal boomerangs* - V3n0M, on 06/08/2009, -1/+54The Amish will outlast us all.
- inactive, on 06/09/2009, -0/+53All modern cities are only two or three days away from complete anarchy and chaos. Populations are so high in big cities that if food is not shipped in constantly it will quickly run out and things go downhill quickly once people start feeling hungry. America has a "just in time" food production system that must not be disrupted. This is why the national guard is quick to swoop in after a hurricane with truck loads of food and water. People begin to panic once they see how quickly their meager kitchen supplies are exhausted and go to the grocery store to discover its empty.

Well, except for that one time... - eastwood24, on 06/08/2009, -2/+41While the rest of you are busy eating each other, I'll be in my underground bunker eating thousands of twinkies...We'll see who's crazy for spending everthing they have on snack cakes.
- CaptainNoPants, on 06/08/2009, -1/+33Always look on the bright side of life
- doodiepants, on 06/08/2009, -2/+28The most important thing will be to have guns and ammo. Everything else can be taken after that.
- satanherself, on 06/08/2009, -0/+23I plan on outfitting my dog in a steampunk mannor.
- AmyVernon, on 06/08/2009, -1/+23Habeus Corpus!
Nope, things are still OK he ----- OH GOD NO!!!! - Grova, on 06/08/2009, -0/+22Master Blaster runs bartertown.
- rheaume, on 06/08/2009, -0/+22Just throw on the chastity belt
- cmp1966, on 06/09/2009, -0/+20All the talk about hunting, guns, etc.-- I'm just wondering how many people there are that actually know how to cook anything from scratch.....
- Hetman, on 06/08/2009, -1/+20You will still die of coronary failure before those on the outside run out of people to eat.
- CaptCarrot, on 06/08/2009, -0/+19And now I'm whistling... Thanks.
- stonebear, on 06/09/2009, -1/+18Actually the social group you are affiliated with is the most important thing. If you think you are going to make it alone, or even with just your family unit, you are very much mistaken. It won't matter how much firepower you have when you can't afford to take any casualties at all, and have no collective bargaining power. One needs to join with a large-enough-to-be-intimidating group of people who embrace not only the values of survival, but the values of the new civilization. Best to do this before the emergency, as the dues will be a lot lower.
- DangerCollie, on 06/09/2009, -0/+17Or skin it without spoiling the meat. Or salt a hide.
City folk, they're not just for breakfast anymore. - Whiteknight117, on 06/09/2009, -0/+17Makes me want to play Fallout 3.
- Chicken2nite, on 06/09/2009, -0/+16People have been consistently shouting that the end is nigh for 500 years. I don't see why 2012 is so different from 1914, no offense to Mayans and Jehevoh's Witnesses alike.
- Twenty5, on 06/09/2009, -0/+15lol
- nkleffman, on 06/09/2009, -0/+14Storable food and the three precious metals: Gold, Silver and Lead.
- fadetoone, on 06/09/2009, -0/+14Use your PIP-BOY 3000.
- BeShirtHappy, on 06/08/2009, -3/+17I'm a Southern gal so I'm surrounded by hunters... at least I won't starve. ;-)
- NJSlacker, on 06/09/2009, -0/+14dugg for the terrible photoshops.
- torgo112, on 06/08/2009, -0/+14Spending money on snack cakes is never crazy.
- inactive, on 06/08/2009, -4/+17or get a metal cigarette case so Pa' doesn't crush your smokes
- thinkb4utype, on 06/09/2009, -1/+14Aren't Mormons suppose to keep a year's worth of food in case of emergencies.
You should make friends with one,
then kill'em for their food. - blackmesa, on 06/09/2009, -1/+14Being surrounded by hunters might actually be a disadvantage. The wild isn't as full of animals as it once was, and overhunting would be sure to occur. Soon the large numbers of hunters (who normally hunt seasonally and for hobby reasons) would extinguish all game in the region (as they would begin hunting for a larger % of their food, for meat to sell/trade, and to supply others). You would be better off somewhere that has national parks but where hunting is uncommon (if that exists in America).
- sodade, on 06/08/2009, -1/+14Don't buy gold, buy ammo - it'll actually be worth something. I recommend 9mm for currency purposes.
- Wakkyweed, on 06/09/2009, -0/+13Tank: "What do you need, besides a miracle?"
Neo: "Guns. Lots of guns." - JasonCox, on 06/09/2009, -0/+12Am I the only person in this damn country who keeps around a 30 day supply of food in the kitchen? And no, it's not because I'm some paranoid survival freak, it's because I'm a lazy fat-ass who hates having to go to the grocery store every other week.
- REV0R, on 06/09/2009, -0/+11I can't stop picturing a sweet, mobile steampunk dog manor.
- crgnetworks, on 06/09/2009, -0/+11George Bush hates black people.
- wolfing, on 06/09/2009, -0/+10we should just build vaults, numbered at that. I think I would like to be in Vault 13
- lorddazzer, on 06/09/2009, -1/+11You need to be Will Smith too.
- Terasiel, on 06/09/2009, -1/+11You only need three things to survive a post-apocalyptic world: Loaded guns, non-perishable foods, and a good dog.
- Jascol, on 06/09/2009, -0/+10I reckon all people should know this sort of stuff anyway, regardless of impending disaster. If only to know how food is actually produced.
People are so disconnected from what they get on their plates it's unbelievable, I swear half the people I know would be disgusted and horrified if they saw a cow being prepared for the butcher, but mouths watering when a big juicy steak is put in front of them. - covertbadger, on 06/09/2009, -2/+12Survivalists have to come up with this sort of ***** to justify to themselves the huge amounts of money they sink into guns, ammo, bunkers, and sister-seduction techniques. They'd look pretty damn silly up there in their concrete underground bomb shelters surrounded by web-footed offspring in anything OTHER than a post-apocalyptic landscape.
- YojanV, on 06/09/2009, -0/+10I like the way everyone assumes both that they will survive whatever impending apocalypse there might be, and also that so many other people will, there's going to be competition for food, land, water, etc.
I think if significant amounts of the population died, there'd be so much land out there that people could live on without really seeing anyone else. How much petrol do you really think you'll get when the ***** hits the fan? - Jektal, on 06/09/2009, -0/+9Makes me glad I just started playing Fallout 3 again last night.
- valkir, on 06/08/2009, -0/+9I wish I saved a similiar real life guide from Argentina.
Anyway, as a New Yorker I may just last 10 seconds! - Jektal, on 06/09/2009, -0/+8Depends. If it's a sudden virus or something, there will be lots and lots of undamaged cars lying about with gas in the tanks. Siphoning isn't that hard.
And of course everyone assumes they'll be a survivor. It's hard to make plans if you expect to be dead. Better to plan to be alive and be prepared if you are. If you die your problems are kind of taken care of.
/has an "oh ***** apocalypse" bag packed and ready to go - FireStalker3150, on 06/09/2009, -0/+8Hide under a desk?
- yocouchdigga, on 06/08/2009, -0/+8Shotguns.
- mwtapp, on 10/11/2009, -1/+9Just in case...
- passedoutghost, on 06/09/2009, -0/+8In a post apocalyptic world I don't think many people are going to place such high value on material goods. Better to have necessities like ammo, guns, and as above, food.
- inactive, on 06/09/2009, -0/+8From what I have seen in movies and games I am pretty sure all you will need is
1. Scary looking Australian muscle car
2. Sawed off shotgun
3. Cricket bat
4. Bruce Willis - zigardne, on 06/09/2009, -0/+8land owners would police their borders and shoot anyone who didn't have permission to hunt, or probably anyone they saw. A lot of the rural land in the foothills of the Appalachians, best place in the country for deer hunting, is owned in 200-600 acre allotments and all have been in the family for generations. Huge families would all congregate back to the family farm and each farm would have its own little army to protect against poachers.
Also deer land is farm land, and farmers aren't dumb when it comes to foresight in their diet and food supply. - mattdpeterson, on 06/09/2009, -0/+7this ones easy. Get a big sailboat with wind and solar power generators, water maker, single side band radio. 50k MP3 files. Load up the kindle with a few hundred books. A few cases of multivitamins, big bags of rice and flower, fishing poles with plenty of tackle. Small arms. Lots of beer & wine.. condoms.. grab a couple of scared for their lives hot chicks and head out for a vacation.
- Rogor, on 06/09/2009, -1/+8I disagree with all those points, there has never been as much personal wealth at any time in history, energy costs arent skyrocketing, theyre market controlled by what people can afford to pay and personal freedoms, get your hand off it, humans have never been so free at any time in their history. The problem with these end of world senarios is that they assume all the daily emergency workers, police, fire, ambulance, men and women who actually keep ***** running day to day anyway are going to crack each others skulls open and feast on the goo inside the minute theres some kind of hiccup. All these solo gun nuts will be the first to go same with crime gangs, the real survivors will probably be the big Christian churches if things get really hairy, people who can pull and work togeather as a team, that will be the funniest part of an apocolypse.
- mastercosby, on 06/09/2009, -0/+7I live near Atlanta and I swear I've never seen that windmill before.
