Have you thought about what you’d do if a catastrophic breakdown in essential institutions, and mass civil unrest.
Can you cram in few hours all the survival essentials you would need to save your family for several months?
Have you thought about what you’d do if a catastrophic breakdown in essential institutions, and mass civil unrest. Food supplies, electricity and transport infrastructures would all collapse.
In short, the world would get medieval on America’s ass. And the same thing would happen all over the globe.
These days we’re spoiled for choice in terms of potential catastrophes. Natural and ecological disasters, nuclear weapons, terrorism, experimental technological accidents. In 2008 a group of experts met at an Oxford University conference and suggested that there was a 19% chance of a global catastrophic event before 2100 (with super intelligent AI and molecular nanotechnology weapons at the top of the threat list). It was just a bit of fun, and they added plenty of caveats to that figure, but still, something to think about, eh?

Damn no i never thought of that but it is something to think about ! I never even learned to swim that would be first on my survival list ✅
Thank you @newyorkfever ! Yeah, learning to swim would be a good place to start.
I've thought about it a few times. Prepared a little, not much. I'd probably last a week or two. lol
That would be the most important is just something to give you a little time. It may not be enough but it give you time to think of a late plan rather than just go into panic mode.
I think about it all the time! Ever since Y2K when people were in a panic because the electricity might go out. :-/ If we lose all municipal services, I think the things I would miss the most are central air (though I have read you get acclimated to a new temperature after a couple of weeks) and flushing toilets. Communication is what I would miss the least, though I would want to know how my family was doing. My biggest worry is if the catastrophe involves people being imprisoned or harmed. Bands of marauders. That kind of thing. Living like a wild person? That doesn't worry me. I'll just revert to my childhood. LOL
Thank You @cassandra-h I just noticed that I forgot to follow you. I am now . I really can live without anything that electricity provides. I did it for years. The band of marauders will be a problem and that is why you want to be where everyone else is not.
