    no biggie. but i'd definately get my butt out of dodge before the fat fisted idiots start beating each other over the head. i gots me 'mergency pack an i'd put 'er on me back and walk. and yah i know where i'd head and what directions to go to get there. like the back of my effing hand. and yup. i've still got a few friends up that way too.

    blackberry and miner's lettice salad and ooti grits.

    just depends on how long it looks like conditions staying that way though. if it's just for a week or two i would worry about going anywhere. it's only if the stores start running out and people start to panic and all, then i'd quietly slip on out of town on my two perfectly good shank's mares on up the back roads and trails i know so well.

    I wrote an essay in my Honors class in college arguing that colleges HAVE to teach students basic survival skills as a mandatory class. It wouldn't be a hard class to teach, finance, or participate in... and it would work.

    I would not survive by myself, honestly... but people rather like me, so someone will make sure to take care of me.

    bikes don't require electricity, fire doesn't require electricity, slope + H20 = running water, not all animals live in stores, you don't need $$ if there are no stores, bartering will suffice.

    It would be bliss as long as I could make sure one person could get to me. :)

    I think some of you are forgetting that the world will be full of people just like you... some less equipped... There will be no communication and therefore police, no government really... Do you think your average city dweller / suburbanite will be as calm and collected as your average hipforum fan?
