Doomsday

[BryantTheSwordsman]

Considering we all survived the end of the world and all have
over active imaginations how do you envision your Post apocalyptic
Earth?

Ohhh it was gonna be really exciting. The earth got struck by a kilometer wide Asteroid and killed off 85% of the planet. I survived with my family, because I live on an island in the middle of nowhere. Luckily the tsunami's were far away so we all didn't drown here.

now that the ash particles from the strike are over head for 30 years +, we have a long haul of no sunlight and no way to grow crops. Again, luckily I stored away and endless supply of canned goods, kraft dinner etc. My generators will last forever as most of the mainland is dead and I'll just go and loot gas / diesel forever as there is nobody to stop me... if there is... I just kill em

It's gonna be ruff for awhile, but I'll survive as I'm a super smart individual and have had past training in these types of areas (arctic survival etc).

First plans are shelter, defense of base, food and a great uncontaminated water supply. Other shit after at

weeeee .. I'm all good

Actually, I just lived through a minor natural disaster - Hurricane Sandy - and it was surprising how quickly things broke down. Not that there was civil unrest/rioting/etc. where I was, but the National Guard was brought into the hardest hit neighborhoods and a curfew was imposed to prevent looting (I can't tell you how strange it was to see uniformed men with rifles guarding check points on Main Street), and a lot of the normal things that we take for granted were absent. There was no electricity for a week, which also meant no heat (in November). All the stores were closed, which meant no fresh food or other supplies. Fuel depots were disabled, so there was no way to bring fuel onto the island except in limited quantities, and very few gas stations had power, so gasoline was hard to come by, with lines over half a mile long in some places.

The upshot of all of this is that it is not hard to imagine how quickly things will really go downhill if there is a major catastrophe and no help is available.
