Go for a bike that will get you far on little fuel and is easy to repair. And, for the love of Tetsuo, wear a helmet.

I think a helmet will be the least of my worries after the apocalypse.

Hopefully IT will only last a month.

The conclusion: Make sure you're in a good spot, because after the SHTF you aren't going to be going anywhere.

I'm in a tiny town with good neighbors more than 10 miles off the highway.

You won’t have to round them up ..... they’ll be hanging around your house with their hand out or scrounging in the garbage for something to eat.

Cool! I’ll just stay home and watch Satellite TV and surf the net. Pizza is only a cellphone call away and my Obamabucks will be credited directly to my bank account.

Why would I WANT to go anywhere?

Besides, the police/military will keep me safe. And if I want to go anywhere, I just unplug my Volt and drive. No gas or diesel needed.

You people are really making a mountain out of a molehill...

You will need something reliable, that you can fix with the tools and parts at your disposal and a continuing fuel supply that does not rely on infrastructure.

I think a bicycle fits the bill best.

Rules for setting up a new society after the apocalypse.

The person who suggests that all resources are pooled, shoot him first. He’s the communist.

The person who reluctantly agrees to be the leader, shoot him also. He’s the dictator.

The first committee that is formed kill them all. They will be the people making the life and death decisions. and the are communists.

Find out everyone’s politics up front. We know we have to come together to make things work. I just don’t want to do it with people who have opposite beliefs than I. The ones who refuse to divulge their beliefs, shoot them. You cannot trust someone without conviction in the post apocalyptic world.

If no one owns the land y’all wind up on, it is ok to distribute it evenly. Over the course of time, people will lose land and acquire land based on their ingenuity and work ethic.

Well ... it would be nice to be on vacation in someplace innocuous and far away (like Tahiti) when the apocalypse occurs. I suppose that I can’t count on being that lucky though.

You are right about not going on vavcation.
However, trade and commerce is what can hold a civilization together. Hopefully it won’t be as bad as setting some goods out on the ground and backing into the bushes to see what is offered. A society with a strong Judeo/Christian backbone can accomplish miracles. But then again some a$$hole said we were no longer a Christain nation.

“Zombies?” That fictitious scenario would be easy to live in, because it’s fictitious.

EMP strikes followed by other nuclear strikes from Iran, other Islamic states, North Korea, then China and Russia would be far more likely. Voila: nearly no vehicles running or fuel pumping.

Have fun. Enjoy the slide.

PS My wagon will probably be drawn by yaks. Yaks aren’t very friendly with strangers, but not much else can survive the cold, winds and slim pickins up here.
