I say keep a bottle of your favorite wiskey handy and a spare bullet. If it gets so bad that the wiskey doesn't calm you - take the bullet.[/QUOTE]
Good plan.
I would add a couple of more bottles of whiskey (just to make sure:biggrin
Makes me think of the Twilight Zone episode about the guy with the bomb shelter.

Holy crap. Maybe it's the alcohol and weed speaking but this man is talking some serious gospel. Seriously, in no less than 100 words, but this guy just described humanity better than anybody else I've heard.
Exactly... exactly as he said.
Good point. Most people agree the people on that show are crazy.
Given that, not looking at the extremes, people should prepare to be without services for a few weeks. Assuming for the next 70 years that everything is going to be 100% peachy seems unrealistic to me.

The unprepared are referred to as "Zombies" by the Prepper community, This is because they are people who would consume your stocks or even (gasp) your person once they are hungry enough that society is completely broken down. And yes, the most fervent of preppers will tell you they are preparing to defend their stockpile in the event of "the zombie apocalypse"- in other words they are prepared to defend against marauders and scavengers.
This is why a lot of preppers have aquired rural land to store their stockpile, and they build odd sorts of shelter- everything from simple storm cellars to entire complexes assembled out of a fleet buried school buses. The logic is in an us-or-them scenario, they will defend themselves.
I'm not saying I buy into all that, I'm just saying that's the logic.

Here it is:http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/the-road-2009/
This is the movie every doomsday prepper should watch.
This is probably as close to how it will really be come DD.
When the end is here, I'd prefer to die with my loved ones than
to survive without them like this.

love it!
The Road is an excellent movie for just this thread. Deals with what happens when all the bullets, food and hope are gone. Just surviving.
It's a good book too. Survival leaves all the fun out of living.
someone has to carry the fire.

The Road is a good example to watch but you guys need to play the game called " fallout 3 " and "Fall Out New Vegas"
if you play in hardcore mode your running around doing the missions but you get hungry and thirsty if you dont get them you die.
so your running around half the time looking for food.

I'll do it. It just doesn't sound like very much fun.
Sun's out, think I'll go for a drive :smile:.
Watched 'The Road' last night because of this thread. Awesome movie.
Netflix?
We all think about what we would do if the world got that bad but the cannibalism part, hmm, I don't know if I could resort to that. Then again, many would.
That's the real question in the back of every man's mind. "How far would I go". Until you're pushed to that "moment of truth", where depending on what you do, you or someone you love, either lives or dies, none of us will really ever know what we're capable of. Past the humanity, there's an animal in all of us.
Tell me those preppers/survivors weren't a scary lot.
The group that kept "reserves" in the basement were pretty disturbing.
What did you all think of "The book of Eli?" While it had a religious theme, it still was based in a post apocalyptic setting with a good description of what I would use to describe that time period. I also was a good fan of "The Road" although it was pretty depressing.
Book of Eli is more like "The Beginning of the Road".
