How would you survive?

I'm no pale face. I'm half black. That might get me some sympathy, but you're right. I would get friendly first.

I live in the "former" Indian Territory of Oklahoma. That's what I was referring to...the state of Oklahoma. No, please, just leave the redman and his land alone. It probably wouldn't work out good for you...pale-face.

former Indian Terrority? No, Oklahoma is Indian Terrority. Not anymore thanks to the wonderful promise of the United States government.

Makes you wonder why cities are so popular,I see a lot of helpless,interdependent people there,who think they actually have some kind of control over their lives,until the power is out,then what?,chaos.

Looks like a perfect way to control a large population to me,and I am sure the government noticed this long ago.

Yes, Illmatic...we have finally found something we agree on. That is why I call the place I live, out of respect, Indian Territory.

You and I could have a bitch-fest on the treatment of the American Indians...believe me.

You are my sister!!!

Have one g-grandmother who was full-blood Cherokee and one g-grandmother who was half-blood Cherokee.

From my experience,the indians of north america are a very good hearted generous people,they would have little problem with you taking from their land as long as you weren't white about it and taking more than you need.

Us greedy white folk destroyed almost the entire world with our bull&hit societies and civilised ways,I am just as guilty of this as anyone.

Hopefully this coming catastrophe does happen,in my lifetime while I watch,so I can participate in undoing the damage.

That nuclear silo converted into a house is sounding better and better.

Install a huge tank of natural gas and redundant genearators

Install an even larger tank of water filled with the five wells already onsite

Install grey water recycling system

Install air recycler

Build hydroponic gardens

Store wind turbines for later installation

And yes arm yourself to the teeth.

You are my sister!!!

I guess we think alot alike!

During the times of the "wild west"(parden the pun) my great-great grandfather met her, fell in love, when it was not the status qou to do this. He was accepted into their tribe, and treated like on of thier own. This is the story that has been passed down.

It'd be so funny if you two are distant relatives or something

Better have lots of guns to defend it!!

...remember low tech is more reliable,a bag of crude tools is right by my back door,no silos nearby,no tanks of fuel.
All of those things you want are the same things everyone else would want,you would make yourself a target of the robbers,and there will be robbers

I agree....

Low tech is the way to go!

www.webpal.org...

There is a lot of information for survival in any event on the CD.

I think it was 760 meg worth.

because I'm low income,all I have is my house,and the robbers (banks), are trying to take that already.

I'm not really prepared, but if something did happen, I have my...ways of survival...

Question: If a major catastrophe struck the planet earth, and everything was in chaos, what would you do? How would you prepare?

I am sooo glad you asked. First off I am a paranoid nut who plans to (in the very near future) build myself a large underground bunker inside of a mountain. My base will have two main entrances (either side of the mountain) and one emergency exit. Each of the two main entrances will be protected by three sets of blast doors. In between each set will be decontamination centers. Also in between each of these will be independently targeting twin linked miniguns (in case of intruders). My base will be coated in at least 8 feet thick steal and then the solid rock and dirt of the mountain (Should be enough to weather the apocalypse). My base will be equipped with highly complex air filtering systems to insure no air born viruses get in. I will have a large lab full of hamsters. I will use these hamsters as my main source of food (and for genetic experiments). Although I will have TONS of caned food one can never substitute good old meat even if it is off a hamster. I will also take with me a small group of vigilantes to guard my facility (which I am now calling Isis). My vigilantes will be equipped with the works M16s, Flak Jackets, gas masks, night vision, you name it they will have it. Of course you can never be to trusting so before entering my facility they will all have explosives implanted in their skulls by a team of doctors I will kidnap. My guards will have clear face masks to insure that no one can wear their suits and pretend to be them (this was Darth Vader's down fall). I will have a network of pipes bringing water to Isis. I will have a very large water purification system to insure that my facility stays uncontaminated. Please inform me if I have missed anything.

How do I plan to afford all this? I am glad you asked (I know you didn't but just play along anyway) I intend to swindle the elderly out of their money with telemarketing scams and fake timeshares. I mean come on think about it they wouldn't survive the apocalypse anyway they are too fragile.

Unfortunately this will take time so if the world ends before I can complete Isis I will be forced to go down in a blaze of glory. I'm thinking two 9 mm Pistols, running full speed at the nearest enemy. Not a bad way to go.

NOTE: I did not mean the vast majority of what I just said. It was simply a joke and if I offended anyone with anything I said please know that that was never my intent. Have a nice day!

You were going to end it with saying it was named weather mountain,and you were going to pay for it by swindling.........

If something horrible would happen.. i would most likely to be called to service with Finnish Defence Force to maintain order and help other people.. i am a NCO..

So.. i would just do what im ordered to do.. But i would not panic or fall in desperation, i am fighting spirit.. death comes when it is time.. i cant change the fact that some day i am going to die.. but as long as im alive there is allways hope.. and im going to fight to last breaht..
