MystyMadness	Posted Sep 2nd, 2009 at 6:18PM I would carry on as usual, just let my husband provide for me while I do my nails. I do have an offer for knightshadow who wants some land. If he likes I will kick him between the legs and give him two acres! Rated: +2Vote for this!

Egoberd	Posted Sep 2nd, 2009 at 6:55PM I'd wander around aimlessly, full of diarrhea and eating all of the wrong berries until a real group of survivors slaughtered me for my juicy thigh meat. Rated: +2Vote for this!
stevengetseven	Posted Sep 2nd, 2009 at 6:26PM Guns, bullets and muscle. I will be just fine. Survival of the fittest and the planet would soon rid itself of all the weak kneed liberal free loaders. Rated: +2Vote for this!
ZombieKitty	Posted Sep 2nd, 2009 at 6:55PM LOL! When a big winter storm hits in the mountains where I live, you HAVE to have it together in order to survive. I MISS technology when these storms hit, but I don't need it. Good question hon! Rated: +2Vote for this!
coloco	Posted Sep 2nd, 2009 at 6:55PM If it kicked off all of a sudden, I would be screwed. We do not carry enough dry goods in the house to last over 30 to 40 days. The wife would be in serious shape, no medication. Over all, yes I would survive, just need to remember a few things from my childhood on storing meats and processing for long term storage without refrigeration. I might be better than most, I grew up on a farm. The hard part would be turning people away, especially if they had kids and enforcing it. Rated: +2Vote for this!

Jujalee	Posted Sep 2nd, 2009 at 6:02PM I actually thought about this the other day...and the answer is no. I think the 'third world' countries would rule the planet and us tech-dependent people would die off if we didn't have the skills needed Rated: +1Vote for this!

Faucon	Posted Sep 2nd, 2009 at 6:41PM I think, together with my family, we'd do very well. We all have skills that would carry us through. There's a new show on called "The Colony" that puts people into this scenario. It's interesting. Rated: +1Vote for this!
jophiel	Posted Sep 2nd, 2009 at 6:47PM The pastoral/golden age of beauty back to nature and simplicity life would become richer and more fulfilling. Rated: +1Vote for this!
