What do you mean by “survive” an apocalypse? An apocalypse is a disclosure or a revelation.

When a major hurricane's barreling down the people in Home Depot are the people who have decided to survive. It'll be the same type.

We should have decided to specialize in a wide variety of non-interchangeable calibers.

6.5 Creedmoor has me stroking my chin as of late.

What’s an interstate? We just have FM roads, ‘round here ;-)

Um, add the media to that list. IF/WHEN the chaos ends, we don’t want to have to contend with the usual lies while we’re trying to rebuild.

I did say “eradicate all liberals”. The libs that have done the most damage to this nation are talking heads on TV and college professors.

They’ll also suffer heart attacks, comas, strokes when they can’t get their meds. It’s stunning that 70% are on prescription meds.

To answer the question, I don't and won't know until it happens, but I'm not all that interested in finding out.

Otoh, we live in both a dangerous world and a nation that is wholly dependent upon electrical power and almost solely dependent upon other people to do the basic things most of us are clueless about.

Ready or not, sooner or later, something will come along and tip our cow over, just to see what happens to such a dependent bunch such as US.

When that time comes, I think I'll vacation in place. It will be a surprise, but not an unexpected one.

I will need an acoustic guitar since I won't be able to plug my electric into anything. Should be a good time to write some country songs...

I’m sure every nation that developed the nukes or want them have the agenda worked out, Dr Falkin. I wonder if Iranians like to play chess?

Let us know where you are (state is okay) so we know where NOT to be. You are blessed, though. Like Elijah, have you heard the still, small voice?

The Patriot Nurse on You Tube has done a great video on who will die/be killed the first days and then on down the line as things degenerate during any sort of serious SHTF senario. Most find it harsh.

No one says life is fair. Those trying to artificially enforce “fairness” are those who are the least likely to survive.

More than 10 miles from the nearest interstate is good-keeps the transients away...

I Love it! I’ll be making one of those.

The next wave of deaths would come from those who find out their iphones won’t send selfies anymore.

I’ll stay put, tend the garden and pick off any wildlife that wanders by.

Forstchen's novel One Second After really lays out a potential scenario.

And another significant number would die from “lead poisoning” after they realized their EBT cards didn’t work.
