OK lets say SHTF tomorrow...are any of you lot any where near prepared ? or are you just talking about it?
Anything less than the Yellowstone Caldura blowing up, and I'm in pretty good shape
I'm not a "prepper" per se, but I live a pretty self suffiecent lifestyle so it wouldn't make a huge difference to the way I normally live, except I probably wouldn't be posting on the internet about it
I already live a long way from population centers, so zombie riots are not an issue. Long way from the ocean, so tidal waves are no concern.
Don't get hurricanes or tornadoes here, and while we do get earthquakes, they usually aren't large.
Wildfires are a big concern here, but as long as you plan and have a defensable space built, that is managable.
If there's a EMP event, I also have a 1967 vehicle so it wouldn't even notice. I can make my own fuel, I have draft horses and oxen as well as old equipment for plowing and harvesting with them.
Plenty of wood for heat, lots of good water coming out of the mountains.
I blacksmith so I can repair or make just about anything I need.
I have all the archery tackle and trapping equipment I could need for hunting and fishing, and lots of empty spaces with large wildlife populations.

Cheeky Brit, ain't ya? Maybe you can start by telling us all how YOU are ready for whatever feces you envision dripping from the fan. I am only 42, but I have lived that long by what I know and can do. Tomorrow will be no different. I suspect that, in all reality, what finally gets me will not be zombies or EMP, but more likely cancer or a farm accident, or perhaps old age, if I am so lucky. Around here, we prepare for the most likely feces first, and move on to the rest once we have that covered.
So do tell this lot how you intend to get by, say if the Russians get ambitious and invade merry old England. Or that sizeable group of Moslems you folks have there get frisky and start lopping off heads. Or the Atlantic Conveyor Belt shuts off and leaves y'all in the freezer. Pick your poison, how will you handle it?

What makes you think that what constitutes poop flying all over Cornwall would constitute poop flying all over the US?
I'll start worrying when the Buffalo Bills win the Super Bowl, which would be a sure sign that Hell has frozen over. And then it won't matter because I'll die happy.
yeah, kinda replies I expected ranging from the "I'm all right" to "it'll never happen" brigade.
And what kind of replies did you expect? And if you were expecting them, you already had your answer so posting this thread was a moot point.
