The idea is not to try to continue the same of life has before in a pre or post apocalypse scenarios the more you carry more weight you have to carry around and more likely you will be more vulnerable for predators especially humans that will want your stuff. You freaky Americans, while people are all twisted up carbonized or zombiefied you will take a sip of wine and make a dollar more on stuff to survive the end of the world. Capitalists to the very end More is less and less is more. My prepping is mostly complete and all fits in a rock sack and covers just about all scenarios I could think of including the walking dead scenario as horrifying this may sound. I have two copies of the Holy Scriptures and this covers my higher needs. You will run out of food and will need to hunt or scavenge what ever dry food you can come across and some freak will want to get your food, your stash, your survival gear, and your throat if it comes to that So you will sleep with one eye open if you are alone or take shifts if you are with trustworthy people. You will need to move around a lot so carrying too much you might have to leave some stuff behind especially the wine cellar You Renaissance Europeans have hid behind the Geneva Conventions, NATO, the UN, the NWO and the EU. Very soon will be fighting off Muslims and to prevent the scenario you describe above in Europe you will once again, expect American troops to save you. There are far worse things than death. Surviving under apocalypse scenarios is one of them. Thank you! Glad to see someone on my page. Death is nothing to fear. We are more than flesh and blood and I think thats what scares people the most; the unknown. I dont want to be hunted like a dog for the remainder of my days or live as a slave. So, I will go out fighting for my rights. At least I leave this world on my terms. Cheers, friend. All salient points especially the wine kit makes sense to me, must have wine to get thought the zombie apocalypse. Call me a freaky American. Entertaining, tounge-in cheek article.except the solar oven IS legit. Look you preppers, I dont want to judge you guys, we are all in this together. However, spending your days sleeping with one eye open and forever running is no way to live. If they dont get you the anxiety will. Maybe just me but, I would rather face my enemy and fight. Death is nothing to fear if you face it on your terms. I know its going to be hard for us all but, you can run, but you cant hide. I think every creature on earth has this understanding. Except human beings. Cheers, friends
