Oh dear, if you think you are going to make it surviving in the urban sprawl you are mistaken unless you live in a missile silo.
Id love to make it but I will be doing some deployment preps for the rest of the month. I was fortunate to go to Warrior Expo last year and its nice to look on the cutting edge.
couldn't agree more if i lived in a major city but i don't.
i live in the country where i don't have to deal with 1000's of people,(i friggn' hate people as a mass) my town has a population of 2K far from urban but still plenty of materials for structures,weapons,whatever you need,as well as resources and land for crops.
all i'm saying is a vast majority of people will be heading for the woods, and a vast majority of people cannot and will not survive there, if you see another person chances they will be hostile to some extent, in the woods your only protection is natural land features and what you can chop and carry with you. in a rural population/community your chances are much high imo, as in a small town as mine is, where everyone knows everyone the chances of some sort of society and/or social structure surviving is much higher, and places like this will most likely be the center of trade and migration routes.
i like how most people think that lone wolf is the way to go, good luck with that one, that chances of making it that way are very very slim, you'd have a better chance at being a pro-athlete in todays world, and much like a pro athletes everyone thinks that they are good enough to be one.
i just used mc gyver as a way of saying making things from items that where not intended for that use.
if your in the military you can surely appreciate the improvisation and adaption from such a mind set, i mean isn't that what they teach you in basic, how is mc gyver'ing wind power,welders and electric fences any different then most of the things you guys do in the teamwork development course, yeah sure you learn teamwork but you also learn ingenuity...
meh, like i was saying i haven't been able to find any good information on this sort of thing as everyone is either thinking the only thing that will save them is guns and supplies, when the fact is supplies run out and guns fire bullets which also run out,
someone needs to write a book called,
so you've survived the fallout, now what?
how to make surviving after the holocaust livable.
or something to that extent.
i agree any city will be a waste land, nothing good will come from it,diseases from the dead, tainted water, no land, and who knows what else environmental and societal..... i'd almost say any town or city over 5-10k would be a bad place to be depending on density.
i guess my question should have been, so what's after survival?
