Addresses many of the issues you are talking about, but at that point there are still things to be looted and some other more pressing problems to deal with ;)<br /><br />I have done some canning - of jam at least- and I can sew and I have a basic knowledge of growing things. I'd need a survivalist type for the heavy lifting though!Jenyfer Matthewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10769550148821002722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3468322635677076272.post-81158782616050985602011-06-01T15:16:05.959-04:002011-06-01T15:16:05.959-04:00I believe if you are strong in mind and independan...I believe if you are strong in mind and independant of what others think you will survive anythingAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12012768592941285677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3468322635677076272.post-52148546564376086482011-06-01T14:54:26.025-04:002011-06-01T14:54:26.025-04:00Sometimes it is good to be a geek. :-) I can do th...Sometimes it is good to be a geek. :-) I can do the edible plants thing--taught that at camps & Nature Center. Know how to fish, purify water & build fires & shelter. Canning? Not so good. Sewing? Passable. Tanning? Only in theory. The rule is the brain of the animal usually provides enough chemicals to tan the hide. Sigh. Some things I know, I really HOPE I never have to use.Cindy Spencer Papehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01583236494759465431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3468322635677076272.post-58441422289070005012011-06-01T06:12:45.239-04:002011-06-01T06:12:45.239-04:00My parents never taught us any of those kinds of s...My parents never taught us any of those kinds of skills even though they had them. I think they wanted to get away from their childhoods. Very middle class. I've always said I'd probably be lost in the first wave of an appocalypse. If I survived I'd definitely want to be next to one of those "back to basics" folks. They have mad skills.N.J.Waltershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18099894498766052188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3468322635677076272.post-43591750022727511402011-06-01T00:04:24.100-04:002011-06-01T00:04:24.100-04:00Whole villages and towns disappeared during The Bl...Whole villages and towns disappeared during The Black Death in Europe - and that was about thirty percent of the population died (more in some areas but zero in others).
