Hell, even where I’m at, we prepare to lose electric for a week every year during the winter. That’s subzero temps for a week with feet of snow on the ground. And we’re not even remote (think Montana, Canada, Alaska, etc). There’s already a sense of community and living close to the land (and etiquette of sharing resources). I’m not saying there wouldn’t be a breakdown there, but certainly not the magnitude of urban population centers.

1998 Ice Storm?
Also, not every place in Canada is remote, we have cities
But yeah, if you wanna survive, go North, way North. The Tundra is your best bet, no one else wants to live there, elk, bears, deer, etc to hunt.
Id install a desalination kit on my boat, grab my guns and ammo, lots of rods and tackle, my favorite lady friend gaggles of dried fruit and head offshore, making occassional pirate raids as necessary on a stowed zodiac boat.

Wow. I never thought of that. Definitely the truth.[/quote]
Those folks will be called “food” or “fertilizer”.[/quote]

F@ck a Zombie. I have seen crackheads walk the streets of NYC in shorts an a tank top in Dec and 2 years later seen the same crackheads chasing down cars wearing coats in the summer living on wise potato chips and little debby snack cakes…
If you want to live a long time on very little, load up on crack.
The fact that even our law of physics may be flawed, is another example of how clueless we really may be.
Just because we live by a certain set of ‘rules’, doesn’t mean that they are correct. Much like we have lost touch with a huge amount of knowledge of the past, which we’re only starting to recover, their set of laws of nature may have varied hugely in contrast to ours. That’s why it’s plausible they had a much better understanding of the universe.
Imagine something like The Bible, as far fetched as a lot of it may be, actually contains some documented events that actually occurred way back when.[/quote]
I wouldn’t put a whole of of stock in that article. I remember a time when a few scientists at Texas A&M “discovered” cold fusion. We can see how well that went over with all the cold fusion reactors we have today.

In retrospect I should have gone with booty but I suppose you can hop on. You will need to tie some fishing string to that tail though, no free rides and I’m not sure what else to do with it.
I don’t understand this response. This isn’t about the “end of days” (A concept the non-religious seem to have an issue with). It is about what the fuck would YOU do if all of the lights went out and how long do you think you could make it?
I guess I just can’t understand blowing this off completely as if it isn’t a risk when scientists are now saying it is.

It’s the reason why the lights go out, that I have issues with. Most of them being hype and sensationalism used to generate ratings for the Discovery channel. Life has managed to survive on this planet for 3.4-3.5 billion years. Since the Cambrian explosion we have been able to track extinction events every 25-30 million years. And yet life continues. I think it’s futile to plan for the next extinction event, especially if we don’t even know which way it’s going to come at us from.
Look, I’ve been thru plenty of hurricanes and tornadoes. Going two weeks without power isn’t a major issue for me. Food, fuel, guns, and ammo are all squared away. Water is easy enough to come by. Completely loosing my home would put a kink in my emergency plans. A tidal wave or major flooding would also really screw over any and all preparations I’ve made.
What I don’t get is how serious a discussion this is supposed to be?

No way, dude. Zombies don’t drown. They just sort of wander around the ocean waiting for dumbass fishermen to catch 'em.

Yeah but we can just cut the line. Very anti-climatic.

You wanna cut off my tail!
Fuck that. I’ll eat your brain, I will.[/quote] Assuming that wasn’t a rap culture pseudonym, you are now left hooked to a zombie and can choose your tail or eternal, aquatic damnation. What will it be christine?

IDK. I like to scuba dive so it would be pretty cool to hang out with the fish and not run out of air.
