It's never too late to start preparing to take care of yourself and those you care about. All the skill sets and knowledge you can acquire now will add to your chances. Think long term though, if society breaks down nationally or world wide due to man made or natural events, it won't be fixed in months...think years or decades and plan accordingly. Take care.

Don't forget physical fitness.  A lot of people train and lay in supplies, but let themselves go physically.  Being in good shape makes it that much easier to deal with the strain of a crisis.

Lemme know if you think I've lost it...
Naw, you haven't yet.  But if you haven't given One Second After or Patriots a read, you should - and then you'll be well on your way to losing it.  :laugh:

My plan requires a silenced .22lr pistol and friends with an adequate supply.
Note to David: I do NOT have adequate supplies.

I didn't catch the zombie book the first time I looked at the photo.  Nice touch.

I carry a gun because a cop is too heavy.  I carry a lot of ammo because I cant run very fast.

having grown up in the mountains on the east coast, I'm with BK and Dan.  the collapse of modern society will simply be viewed by me as another fun challenge.

Surely you don't really mean that? I'm going to guess you don't have a family with young children, own a business or have ever been to a 3rd world nation. Modern society 'collapsing' will be horrific to a degree we can't truly imagine. Robbing, raping, pillaging, looting and murder on massive scale. Grandma dying pretty quickly without her meds is bad enough, but having millions starving and savaging one another to eke out existence isn't fun or challenging. It's a horror movie plot- and I hope that's where it stays. Doesn't mean you shouldn't make reasonable preparations, that is common sense. But wanting it to happen strikes me as poorly reasoned.

Not to be a downer- I fantasize about mowing down zombies with a belt-fed as much as the next gun nut....but I am confident that any societal collapse will be much more grim then anyone can accurately project.
