      I would be a barber and a barman. And a drunk, bald bitch. Surrounded by other drunk, bald bitches.

      My gang and I would travel the country trying to uproot left behind stock of good ales and wines… We'd of course visit Gosport, armed, to plunder the IH stock... And bring flowers for Paula, whom we'd rename to The Rose of Gosport... Of course married to The Fishing Beast of Gosport...

          Given the skills and knowledge I've acquired through my hobbies, work history and years of formal education, I feel comfortable saying that in the above scenario, I would die a quick, painful death due to ignorance and general ineptitude.

            😉 😉 😉 Unfortunately brother, unless death comes at someone else's hands, it's gonna be slow in this scenario.

              I'm pretty sure that Chris' fate would be my own.  Even though I was born a country-girl, I've been a city-slicker for too long.  I would try my best to find a source of fresh water, stockpile food, and hope that I didn't have to try and fend off any violence.

                  Why does everyone think that's a great option in a situation like this? The fact I have heard numerous mentions of this in hypothetical apocalyptic scenarios, means it is likely the worst idea. Places like that are targets that can't be defended indefinitely.

                        In this situation we should all:
                        #1. Be very afraid
                        #2. Be very afraid
                        #3. Be very afraid
                        #4. Be very afraid
                        #5. Be very afraid
                        #6. Buy one pair of boots, one pair of 25oz jeans, one shirt, and one jacket (made by Iron Heart) because of coarse they will all last a lifetime anyways. (Oh, and no underwear)
                        #7. Be distrustful of everyone and only look after yourself
                        #8. Buy more guns than you could ever use in 100 lifetimes
                        #9. Store a minimum of 20+ years worth of food (mainly corn and questionable meat-like slime in a can) made by Wise Company ("Be wise, be ready")
                        #10. Listen to Glen Beck: He'll know what to do…

                        Why wait for this to happen and be unprepared? The end is coming, get ready!

                          That would been my alternative answer, but I like to avoid the truth sometimes. 😃

                              Great game plan, I prefer Alex Jones over Beck though. Just not enough paranoia on Glenn's broadcast for my taste. ::)

                                  Yeah, Iv'e been trying to come up with a serious answer all day. I can grow 'stuff' and farm, but that requires stable conditions to get starting. I'll join you both in a mass-grave-party 😃

                                    I know it seems pretty grim because most of our species was just taken out by a meteor, but the planet is still in pretty good shape (probably better now because there are so few humans to destroy it), and resources seem to be pretty plentiful. There's really no need to treat this like a zombie apocalypse. We can never go back to our office jobs, the internet is down, electricity is scarce, but the world is our oyster.

                                      I like your optimistic view of things. I'm of the opinion that with out power, and the ability to regulate society, you'd get a zombie apocalypse pretty quickly. Zombies are just a metaphor for unhinged masses….

                                        Here's something that is always good to know, for the most extreme just in case scenarios. What grows locally to you that's edible? I don't simply mean veggies or wild fruits either, roots, grubs, foliage all need to be considered. Even in a winter climate, 2 out of 4 would be available and keep you from starving. If you don't know these things, invest in a old field guide, preferably one from your area. It doesn't take the apocalypse for this kind of knowledge to be handy.

                                          I'd be interested in living on a commune. We can regulate ourselves, pool resources, and barter with each other. Who's in?
