Glad I am the 1%

[Champion_Standing]

less than 5% of the population has the skills, knowledge and level of fitness required to survive a life without modern conveniences.

[danceparty]

pull up a map of nuclear power plant locations. if you live near one, you're dead within weeks. diesel back ups will keep them going for a little while, but no one is coming to refill the tanks. cooling sheds melt down and spew radiation on all neckbeards and their apocalypse stash of pasta and whiskey. there is no back-up plan in america. if the lights go out, kiss it good bye.

[Rellapse35]

less than 5% of the population has the skills, knowledge and level of fitness required to survive a life without modern conveniences.

The only modern convenience I would miss would be running to the store to buy ice cold beer. I should stockpile some wine or something. The two weeks we were without power after a tornado came threw that is the only thing I lacked.

But hey not everyone grew up on a farm

HBB would last prolly 2 months he would then start ravaging dicks like tube steaks and end up choking on 1 and die.

people still lacking guns at this point in the game have already demonstrated they lack the mental capacity to survive such a scenario, and will become the victims of marauding gangs of cannibals

[Recycled Children]

Unlikely. I live in a densely populated urban area so food would become scarce pretty quickly. My only hope would be to get out of the city while everyone is scrambling for food.

I wouldn't mind having an excuse to finish A Storm of Swords though.

Actually, I can't legally own any guns due to have been being locked in the looney bin too many times.

That might just be a Virginia thing though.

People with no guns would be suddenly trying to make some "redneck" friends. Lol.

The whole survival thing is serious business for some people these days. The world is going to shit and if there was some kind of collapse eventually, it's probably a good idea to have some kind of backup plan, even if it's just extra food/water and something to defend yourself with. But of course, if you feel that way you get told to take off the tinfoil hat or get called a redneck. Those people would be first to die imo.

I keep an open mind without being crazy about it.

Well, since you brought it up.. why locked up so many times? God. That must have been awful.

The world is hardly going to shit.

The most threatening part of the whole idea is the amount of people with guns who are just waiting to use them for their own self interest instead of working together, or dying with a shred of dignity and integrity.

A. "Oh, when x happens I'm going to have my gun and I'm going to shoot people so that I can survive."

Should be:

B. "When x happens I'm going to remain civil like a human fucking being, and do what I can to get by without fucking everyone over."

How would I be "fucking everyone over" if I (or my family) were attacked with deadly force and I used my gun in self-defense?

Dying with dignity to me would mean I tried to fight for my life or the lives of others who are threatened. I think you assume the other side would be civil and fair. I don't.

don't Mormons require themselves to stock 6 months of food? They're hardly rednecks.

Regardless of any future blackout, it doesn't hurt to have at least a few weeks of food/water/(essential)meds stored up incase of natural disaster. I would say it's irresponsible to not do so if you have kids.

A means of self defense also isn't a bad idea if/when a natural disaster strikes and people turn to looting(this happens).

America definitely is going to shit. The largest debt in the entire history of human civilization isn't going to simply disappear because you bury your head in the sand. The illusion that this isn't a fake economy built on fiat currency will eventually shatter, China will stop lending us money, and then the dollar will crash. We're already in the terminal stages of decay and collapse.

And you're right, we are "human fucking beings". We are animals with instincts that are the opp of civility. In a panic, most people will kill you for food. That's why you have a gun, to kill them and eat them first.

Things that SHOULD be happening dont happen for the simple idea that they SHOULD or are the BEST for the whole. Guess what happened when reliefe was sent down to aid victims of hurricane katrina, people robbed and stole from those who were sent to aid them. Look what happens at a football game when someones team loses, people are mostly sheep and will panic at a moments notice when anything goes the wrong way. This type of person will need ot be controlled and the ultimate control is life and death, which can easily be controlled with by a firearm of sorts. There are people who live their entire lives based on the idea of getting by by fucking anyone and everyone over. Get your head out of the sand.

This is a society of people out for themselves. They do not trust each other. They do not respect the rule of law. Every family builds a castle and serves as a garrison, because it is a necessity, because they have an attitude like yours. When they have a disagreement, they spill blood. People are out for themselves to a greater extent than in many western countries.

In the United States, a large part of our stability is based on trust. We do not barricade our homes like castles (for the most part), because we do not seriously believe we share a zero-sum relationship with our neighbors. Those elements exist in our system, but they are more subdued.

You start talking about "Well some people do this bad thing....". What's next? You build a wall around your house and man it with your assault rifle? Tell everyone to fuck off so you can protect your family? How is that working for the Afghanis?

If, in general, we believe it is a good thing to look after our neighbors and our fellow man, help them in their time of need, and trust them, then we cultivate a more peaceful, stable, and prosperous society. Even if that means we suffer some bad individuals wreaking their havoc on a pussified society, I find that preferable.

Everything you do is out of fear of other people and it's disgusting.

A very very poor response but i THINK i see what you are trying to get out.

Funny thing is you should all be taking this question as serious as life and death because very very soon, you're going to be living it. Comet ison is the comet predicted by Nostradamus that will bring the 3rd and final anti Christ and the third and final world war. Every astronomer observing it is baffled by how it is acting, as it isn't acting like any comet ever observed before. Also convenient how NASA has shut down just as it is approaching. We will be directly in the debris field left behind the comet and it will bombard Earth with devastating effects much like the very recent meteor in Russia only x10 worse.

Lol. Safety from rape...I forgot for a minute that survival after society's collapse would include trying to evade roving bands of disgusting, uncivilized pigs looking for women to enslave.

Well, shit...

^Lol. To be honest, I did try red but was too lonely. Couldn't even speak in /ooc so I was sad. Might try again one of these days when I am just sick of everyone and wanna be alone.

[stonez138]

we all know the complete collapse of society is coming in our lifetimes

You do realise countless people have been saying this for thousands of years? It's no more truenow then it was then.

Having said that I must confess in 09 I was walking to the bar when I saw a massive meteor http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s1amG4oW9Vg as the night sky light up brighter then daytime for a split second I looked for cover and thought I might be witnessing a cataclysmic event. I have NEVER seen anything like it before or after and it was pretty amazing!

And if people are going to refer to Russian meteors in a post like this, you should really refer to the Tunguska event. Can you imagine the destruction an event like that would cause if it happened in a major urban area today? There would be more the a few thousand injured for sure

[Fame]

Lol. Safety from rape...I forgot for a minute that survival after society's collapse would include trying to evade roving bands of disgusting, uncivilized pigs looking for women to enslave.

Well, shit...

Would def let ya hang Sid, if only for the droves of other survivalist neckbeards that I am sure would be following you. Rest assured good people, we have a contingency plan. /thread?

i did fine. played a bunch of chess with my niece.

I would store HBB in a tub full of bleach, do you think that would do the trick?

[radditsu]

You guys are all aware that society was fine before the use of electricity? Some of the worlds greatest scientists and thinkers were born before the light bulb. There were peaceful Native American cultures that had cities larger than London with no discernible crime rate or energy sources outside of lumber?

Outside of a mass extinction event, society will not degrade enough to get rid of the use of pen and paper and knowledge. There is enough knowledgeable, scientific, resourceful people to never completely wipe out the use of power generation. Water Mills, biofuels, human /animal generated power will always exist in society in some form or another.

And if it is a mass extinction? Well you really won't have anything to worry about will you? Unless you are the 5% of the population that would survive some sort of viral outbreak.

And if its nuclear, we are all dead. There is no escape from it.

[myriverse]

You guys are all aware that society was fine before the use of electricity?
No. It wasn't. It persevered, but it was anything but fine.

[Vadd]

People with no guns would be suddenly trying to make some "redneck" friends. Lol. The whole survival thing is serious business for some people these days. The world is going to shit and if there was some kind of collapse eventually, it's probably a good idea to have some kind of backup plan, even if it's just extra food/water and something to defend yourself with. But of course, if you feel that way you get told to take off the tinfoil hat or get called a redneck. Those people would be first to die imo. I keep an open mind without being crazy about it.

South Louisiana FTW

[Rellapse35]

the south will rise again

[radditsu]

Electricity and modern communication is a culmination of thousands upon thousands of years of progression. It is not the end all be all of human existence. I admit, people were bastards in the past, but people are bastards now. The world is CONVENIENT now(look at population charts post air conditioning). But society was not a cesspool of awful humanity you seem to think it was. Music, Art, Science, all still happened in pre industrial society, hell it happened pre LITERATE society. Outside of the dark ages(plague), and pockets of repressive(aka religious) societies, we have ALWAYS progressed. Humanity in itself has the capacity to always get better.

Every story you hear about the past is usually a calculated lie. We continually make up arc typical stories to make it seem like things are "better" or "terrible" back then. The truth is ALWAYS in between. Example: That Roanoke colony that went missing? They moved in with the native american's. Which is abhorrent to most euro centrist individuals.
Also as I said Cahokia had 40k individuals living in a society when England was still living in their own shit. They planted/cut trees, built an agrarian society(stockades!), had art, had culture. All without a written language that we can discern! Vikings had a cut off colony in America for 500 years! Rough and tumble asshole Vikings!

Anyone who thinks that society is due to collapse , just because something silly like power, are stupid millennial trolling fucks who have no concept on true reality.

Yes people will die, Evil will STILL HAPPEN, but it's not going to be some sort of Walking Dead end of everything bullshit. Humanity has the capacity for good and evil, but they always strive to get better in the end.

[Hasbinbad]

that may be true radditsu, but everyone will die of amoebic dysentery (the bloody flux), if nothing else, if they don't know how to disinfect their water

[Hasbinbad]

there are superbugs around now that weren't around 100 years ago .. shit that will kill you without modern medicine..

GOOD LUCK LOL

[Rellapse35]

disinfect water is ez > add fire

[Cecily]

But the water puts out the fire, dummy. ^ confirmed dead.

I love in a cottage in the woods by a backwater creek that feeds into the chesapeake bay. In the winter, 95% of our heat is by firewood. as long as I have a fishing rod and some hooks - I'll survive.

[Hasbinbad]

boiling water for disinfection purposes is extremely inefficient.

[Hasbinbad]

also some shit isn't killed at boiling temperature. bleach kills everything, is most efficient, and totally safe.

[Hasbinbad]

probably the most useful skill for survival in california is trapping squirrels

[Hasbinbad]

once wolves make their comeback tho, all bets are off, and it's whoever can build walls.

[Rellapse35]

trapping small game is fun

[Hasbinbad]

i give it five years before howls equate to fear again.

[Hasbinbad]

trapping small game is fun
i know some fundamental stuff, and physics and things, but i definitely want to get more practice.

i can do birds with a shotty and larger stuff with a rifle/sidearm all day, but your day to day is all fish if you can't trap squirrels and possums and shit.

no joke i give you rednecks the "practice" part .. but i'm not making friends with some bigots bro, give me 2 weeks without food and i'll be the master trapper.

[Hasbinbad]

i do know how to fish ocean, lake, river, and stream tho.. i'll be aiight where the air is thin

[Rellapse35]

train you a couple dogs and coon hunt

[Hasbinbad]

now if shit starts coming out of the ground after it's dead... i dunno man, i might not be able to stand on principles so much. but if we're talking garden-variety apocalypse, then yeah, still fuck you.

[radditsu]

train you a couple dogs and coon hunt

Every time I have ever went those fucking dogs get lost and takes more time to find them then killing a more efficient animal.

[kotton05]

howls wont = fear unless alone and wounded maybe...

[Hasbinbad]

train you a couple dogs and coon hunt
i do know how to train a pointer to phaesant hunt (train, lol, as if) and train a retriever to be still until you shoot something before it goes buckwild into the frozen lake, but i've never trained a dog for any kind of small game.. i imagine you'd want a hound? totally foreign concept to me.

as an aside, you ever seen a poodle hunt?

[Rellapse35]

Every time I have ever went those fucking dogs get lost and takes more time to find them then killing a more efficient animal.

Right now my uncle just has GPS collars on his dogs makes it super ez

[Rellapse35]

only on TV Duck Dynasty uncle SI had a poodle for some duck hunting was funny

[radditsu]

this was during the 90s, so the people i went with had radio collars.

Fishing is my fav thing to do but probably just b/c anytime I am around water I got a cooler packed with beer.

When I go fishing I know I will always catch something a buzz> or trophy fish, I still win

Wine will be worth more than gold if the world went to shit.

[Hasbinbad]

poodles basically need to be worked at least once a day in order to maintain their discipline, seasonally most of the time, but they can course a field, retrieve, track, and will engage larger prey fearlessly. no other dog can do all those things nearly as well as the poodle. airdale comes close, but they fail at coursing a field.. pointers can retrieve and course and point, but are nervous and wont engage a boar, for instance.. hounds just do hound shit, which is basically everything but retrieving, but you have to do it the hound-dog way ... which is weird because i don't know much about it and therefore i'm scared of it. but poodles do all that shit. no joke. :P

[Hasbinbad]

they probably made a mockery of it on the duck show, but then, i don't put much stock in duck shows.

[Rellapse35]

Duck Dynasty is a p funny show...not all rednecky just wholesome entertainment imo

[runlvlzero]

No. It wasn't. It persevered, but it was anything but fine.

I don't see any monolithic structures that will last 10,000+ years being built with computers and electricity.

Society was just fine b4 the advent of technology. People did more than just "persevere".

Great works of art and literature and humanity were created. People explored the planet and we got along just fine. We even exploited eachother pretty well back than aswell.

P.S. If this is the P99 survival thread and people come back here for survival advice AFTER the fact LOLS... oh wait can't even read peoples shitty advice on how to purify water.

[runlvlzero]

OMG this is the very definition of hasbinbads retardation.

You do understand the definition of a "Superbug" is one that is resistant to modern antibiotic medication?

You are less likely to die from a superbug if your immune system is strong and you have a strong healthy ecology of gut bacteria and flora living in your body than you are living in a modern sterile environment.

You are absolutely clueless.

[Rellapse35]

If the world goes to shit and you got no where to go remember can always come down to AL my grandparents owns and operates a 3700 acre farm we have much room to do some Larping

80 acres with a river/ spring fed swamp stocked with fish good ol' bream and is almost entirely wooded with tons of turkey, rabbits, and nuisance deer. One Neighbor has Llamas, goats and sheep. Could make a reasonable pilgrimage to the coast to sun dry sea water for salt and coarse sand. The other neighbor has a full cattle ranch with plenty of unused (he's getting old) but cleared farmland. It would just be the matter of getting enough seed/plants to get a real farm started.

It's like the start of a goddamn community.

i never posed that dichotomy .. you're defeating an argument I didn't make.

and no im not just talking about antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria, tho those will have their day. i'm also referring to all of the viruses which we're vaccinated against. when those vaccines go byebye, do you not understand that the modern influenza will just wipe out most of everyone? pox and polio alone (definitely not eradicated) will take 2/3 of the non-starved-to-death global population - or more - of the first generation without any vaccines. one generation in with no modern sanitation, the rot of modern society will encompass everything, and fecal-to-oral transmission will start to take its toll. we'll go back to calling it "the flux" coz basically everyone will start shitting blood all the time. Good luck bro.

Also, I'm tearing out the bathroom and rebuilding it - the flooring had 2 layers of some strange plywood and then a layer of newspaper from 1950. Even sillier than that, in a couple spots they used logs as support beams off of the main floor joist (which was also rotted out)

Indeed, but we don't even need to do half of that to survive comfortably. It's the doing without motivation from others, the will do do because we want to.

Than again I know quite a few people who cannot cook a "tasty meal". Not sure if human or not.

[radditsu]

The point is to strive to be a well developed individual.

I grew up self sufficient as possible, we were poor but had the luxury of land. I hate hunting, but I can do it. Ive picked and grown crops. I have raised children. And I am an excellent cook. I have a job that requires thinking. I work hard.

I strive to be better. Maybe I should stop flaming you fucks and take up carpentry. But whatevs man children

Even those who have prepared for years, have decades worth of food, large wooded areas with wildlife to hunt, etc wouldn't last long if it got really bad. That is, unless they were so remote that they'd never see another human again. The more you have stored, the more you'll just get raided and raped by roaming gangs. Eventually, you'll run out of ammunition or arrows when they come for you.

Best bet is to get into a small community you can trust where everyone works together. If for nothing else than to barter.
