I know that we've had several threads about zombie invasions and 2012, but I figured that, in light of the fact that some investors are predicting that Peak Oil will effectively hit quite soon, even though the actual conditions won't occur nearly as soon, we should start planning for a post-apocalyptic world.

 

So, let's say that while there are no nearly-invincible zombies, there are: extremely limited mobility (due to reduced fuel), reduced energy for heating, manufacturing, and agriculture, swarms of angry starving people in most countries, regional wars (mostly between smaller countries - some may be proxy wars between former great powers), record-high gang violence and murder rates throughout most of the world, and - to top it all off - widespread environmental disaster and landscape poisoning (think the USSR - some parts still pristine, some totally fatal due to radiation, some just contaminated, etc).

 

Under those conditions, how would you plan to survive? assume that you could see the crisis coming (again, distinguishing it from the zombie scenario) for at least several months, even if it would not be immediately evident how bad things would get. And since I've got such a big ego, I'll demand that you at least include the following things in your generalized survival plan:

 

Food / water source

Location

Methods for surviving in your chosen climate

Partner / no partner, save random people / don't save random people

Technologies you'd use - generate electricity, or get back to basics?

 

I'm anticipating that most of these guidelines will be ignored, so don't panic.. just think about it. After all, you might use the ideas someday. smile.gif
