Where was the author when his fellow media colleagues were denigrating survivalists and preppers?

They need to attend Tom Brown’s school in New Jersey.

One of the best experiences of my life.

It’s not a Zombie apocalypse thats the problem. It’s dealing with the stress of everyday life. The unexpected bill. The Illness. The President they don’t want but were too lazy to vote either way. No sympathy here. But, the really frightening thing is that the first born millennials will be 38 in 2020 and eligible age wise to run for President.

This guy is a survivor and probably a prepper.

Those who cannot out-run zombies are destined to become zombies.

Isn’t texting their mom from down in the basement to please bring down more pizza rolls a basic survival skill?

I’m too busy trying to climb the corporate ladder so that I can buy a bigger boat, so I don’t have time to waste teaching my kids survival skills. But they do know where the nearest 3 Sam’s Clubs are, so they always have access to food and supplies.

The good news is they’ll die off quickly reducing the overall strain on society.

One doesn’t necessarily need to outrun the Zombies, they only need to outrun the people surrounding them.

I know you’ve got some mad skills.

The Foxfire books preserved a lot of this knowledge for ‘Boomers- that, and the Whole Earth Catalog and ‘boomers were prepared for the apocalypse.

It’s going to be bad for millenials who are running from zombies and who mistekenly pick a car with a stick shift to escape in.

It’s called Natural Selection. That’s a good thing.

I’ll have to read this. I made up backpacks for the kids to keep in their cars that have some emergency supplies. Lighters, flint, candles, plastic, twine, water, water filter, a can, energy bars, knife, etc. Enough to keep them comfortable for a few days if they get stuck somewhere, or primarily in case of an earthquake.
