Can you survive? Say all transportation which brings in food was disabled. Would you know what plants to eat? Could you make a still to gather water? Would you hunt and kill animals. Can you make weapons to protect your families? Is strategy something you think about?

I still have some of the knowledge but not the mobility necessary.

I've noted the locations of all of the Trumpanzees in my area. In the case of some sort of cataclysm or major breakdown in civil society, I'm not ashamed to say that ritual cannibalism is On The MENU!

I can sail. I'd just steal a boat.

Would start a pile to bring bugs we are squeamish about bugs in this country bugs are the best source of protein. Lots forget about roots most roost are edible take a potato it is a root yet it's plant is deadly nightshade. Even though wood is not the best form of nourishment it can sustain you until better food can be located. Even in the driest condition water can be pulled out of the air with a proper still.

I probably could pick out some wild plants to eat although when I've tried purslane it doesnt seem to agree with me so it would be hit and miss for a bit. As for the rest I know a bit. Unfortunately none of that does me much good against a jerk with a glock.

I have two fat cats and a six pack of beer, after that I'd be out of luck

Nah. I'd be dead within a week. C'est la vie.

I'm not wasting my life preparing for something that will never happen.
I'm pretty skinny though. Skinny people do better in famine situations and losing 1k of fat will statistically extend your life more than having a nuclear bunker.
I'm adaptable and optimistic too. I'll be fine.

Nope. I'm another one who'd end up useless sans meds and therefore dead.

I'd be dead meat. Unless I could write some software to do this.

I would be dead on 30 minutes from share panic.

Yes, I've been studying plants all my life & know the edible ones. I also have chickens & goats. Would they count? I don't eat meat so getting enough calories in the long run could be an issue. One thing I've never done is grind acorns into meal & soak the tannins out to make them edible...that was the staple of the Native Americans in my area.
