Could you survive?

[Gunz]

If the government had a break down, leading to civilization going to shit, could you survive? No more public gas, electricity, markets, nothing. Would you, could you survive? How? What would your plan be? I would gather up all the survival things I could such as tools, weapons, canned food, blankets, and move north towards Colorado Montana area and do what I could to find shelter and hold down fort.

I keep my shed open for you

Yep. and part of me is ready for it. Not for my kids to suffer or anything...but complete bedlam would be kinda humorous.

Dont go to Montana, yellowstone will blow, and youll be barbequed. Im getting a boat on the mIssisippi, and calling it the "Vagina boat to freedom." You can get on only if you can clean a fish, and have a vagina. Then, me and my new fishing harem will head south to the gulf settling somewhere in mexico, restarting civilization.

im building an ark...and hefe...is...not..invited

[Peelz]

As soon as it happens, Im calling Phucker, and gettin some more guns.  One rifle wont cut it

[dragonz]

just as long as it doesn't happen till Sat morning, I will be sweet.
I have my own land, water supply, & can generate power if needed.
Flatmate has horses so transport is covered
Have guns, but would not want to rely on them too much, so good that I have bows & arrows too..........

Hmmm, might have to figure out a bio-fuel plant so I can still play on the raptor though!

Safety in numbers.  If you want to make it long term, you would have to form a small community and be able to spread the load around.  I'd gather my family and the friends that could contribute (life's rough, no room for dead weight) and head for my inlaws place.  They raise cattle and have a pretty big ranch with running water (not common around here).  I think that would be our best place to ride it out.  There is high ground at three points around their place where you could see anything coming for a long way and deliver some ordnance if necessary.

I feel better knowing that Im not the only one that thinks about this possibility regularly

I think all rednecks hope for world wide catastrophie constantly, so they can revert to total anarchy & re-live the caveman era

I'm gonna hoard toilet paper and girlie stuff.  Then I'll have my pick of all the hot chicks when the world comes to an end.  "Wanna shave those hairy legs, ladies?  See Disco Dan!  But it's gonna cost ya...."  

-edit to add "have"

every week i hope and pray it waits till the next payday, cause i am always finding more shit i need to buy. i only have about 30k rounds of ammo so i definitely need more of that. and the hot chick back home knows if anything ever happens to bline for my parents house lol. shes hot and one hell of a shot. dont have an exact bug out plan yet but still working on it, i am sure i would go to northern michigan, hard winters but easy to hide and lots of food. my brother has gone so far he is learning how to brain tan deer hides and goes out learnign what plants are edible and where to find them. oh and i also have a seed vault with all non hybrid seeds so they can be replanted.

still need water filtration stuff, not worrying about gas masks yet lol

I'll just go to work...

Actual movement would be difficult.  The roads would be a series of ambushes.  Whatever movement you made would have to be made pretty quick, before the traffic jams and the collapse.  When Hurricane Ike blew in, all the highways out of town were jammed solid.  People sat in their cars and idled them dry.  Read an account where a guy burned half a tank of gas and had traveled less than five miles.  He turned around and went home figuring he was going to either ride the storm out in his car or in his house.  A buddy went to Lufkin, about a two hour drive, and it took him twelve hours.  I'm sitting my butt and home and hunkering down.

Before the Ike hit, I went to Walmart and bought two of the large rubbermaid trashcans.  I washed and bleached them out then put them in the house and filled them with water and a splash of bleach.  I'm all electric with a water well so when the power goes out, I'm screwed.  And no generator.  A well armed neighborhood is a polite neighborhood so we didn't experience any problems there.

Houston is pretty big with lots of mouths to feed.  I live in the outskirts so I'll probably end up as cannon fodder.  All those people won't stay in the city for long.  I'll have looters to eat until I run out of ammo.   

History Channel:  After Armageddon (1 of 9, this should be a playlist), pretty interesting stuff played out here.
