sort of a poll into members SitX fears

basically I'm just curious as to what's at the forefront of your mind whilst planning your survival.

What situation are you planning around / expecting to happen and when ?

for me its a cross of a few things.

a nuke exchange in the middle east. Israel wipes out iran. Russia ( although not one of Russia's official allies as per they're treaties etc they are close in trading and getting closer all the time) retaliate, NATO responds and all hell breaks loose. Its probably not the most viable of threats, but combined with multiple dirty bomb / bio agent attacks and the current level of tensions between the British and the muslim immigrants. (I emphasise muslims there, as they were the group who started the race riots over here and tensions are still very high) it's bound to kick off sooner rather than later. Plus add to it the economic state of things now!

and its been a good chance for me to do what I love best. Get a nice semi permanent camp site sorted out and buy some new gear!!

Worst case no place to live, no food to buy, need hunting gear and warm clothes cause it may just get really cold and a survival pamphlet I was issued in the military might come in handy. Maybe brush up on water purification methods.

My main concern is the US will trigger a global chaotic multiarea warzone as it tries to bully its way into securing cheap oil supplies and to divert its peoples minds from the growing domestic problems back home in the US.
Second I am seriously worried about the effects of Islam on the west and its total incompatability with our culture and value system.
Thirdly the threat of socialism within the EU gives me nightmares, Socialism in every form has been shown to be far more evil and nefarious that any other political system ever devised.
Fourth Mass migration from the every deteriating parts of earth like Africa and asia minor, tens of millions of ill educated, often militant people with long term health problems such as aids and untreatable TB heading north cause me great concern. For example much wiser and better educated people than me point out that the British Isles can sustain a population of betwen 47 and 55 million people without causing permemant and irrepairable damge to the environment and quality of life of the people already living here. We now have 62 million people with another 8 million due to force theirway here in the next 11 years.

I think it more likely we'll simply have a total collapse of the system.

We're sort of seeing the start of that now...what with people losing their jobs and kicked out of their homes...tent cities have started to pop up in unlikely places...

Now when you think about it any city can deal with a few dozen homeless families. things get tough when that turns into a few hundred....Make it a few thousand and even the biggest and best funded cities start to suffer real problems...

Right now in the US we have an estimated 305 million people living here... if the experts are right about a worse case where 40% of them will lose their jobs and homes that would put just over 100 million folks out on the streets. 100 million hungry desperate willing to do anything people...

A nuke strike by comparison would be merciful...
your best laid plans might come to knot when faced with hundres of displaced in your front yard...

I'm expecting either a natural disaster, or a pandemic.
I'm not falling for the Alien invasion,planet X, or global nuclear war scenarios.

That new movie blindness is really a scary scenario, if everyone went blind all over the world it would be absolutely terrifying..
