Doomsday ‘Preppers’ Warn of Hard Times Ahead As Preparedness Goes Mainstream

[Ninurta]

That'll only last for a month or two if there's a total breakdown.  Most people will have just starved by then.

You wanna live?  It won't take much.  Get yourself a really good tent.  Get yourself a really good sleeping bag.  Get yourself some fishing gear.  Bag up everything you need to live away from your home for a week.

Got that?  Pick it all up and tote it as far as you can.  Keep doing that every day until you're double what you did your first day.  That's good enough.

Look on maps around the place where you live.  Find running water.  Figure out how you're gonna get your kit there.  Can't walk there from your house?  Find a place and stash it all there before SHTF.

Next lesson: making snares that work.

If you're going the opposite direction described above ... handcuffs are cheap right now.

You want to live? 

There are two things that will be in great supply, after TSHTF. They are both edible. I think your sensibilities will come in line when you get hungry enough.

Yum!

Most Americans have a psychological aversion to eating rats, but when I really think about it, they're not all that different from squirrels, and I've eaten squirrels all my life. As a matter of fact, I've called squirrels "Tree Rats" for years.

In a lot of places, especially in the US South, kudzu was introduced as a means of soil retention, and it kinda took over, choking out a lot of native growth. Kudzu can be eaten, and it can be found in great abundance in some places.
