Lets say wherever you live, the economy collapses. Food, water, medicine, gasoline ect prices have all skyrocketed. How would you survive and make due? I personally have a stockpile of food that should last me about a 2 years. (what a miserable 2 years that would be lol) + lots of tools and handyman skills. What would you do to survive? This is based on a realistic scenario so it could very well happen.

I would be gathering food, water, other supplies etc... I would rob a car store, get the strongest and fastest car, go to a gun store, get everything in the car, continue gathering more supplies.

*Sigh* I don't know what I would do. It's terrible as it is.

If anything I hope to become a zombie and have all the flesh I can eat.

You live in the same part of town I lived in a few months back so it would definitely suck. Worst case you could always go to OBT and make some cash lol

Hell No! I am not gonna have *** for cash! LMAO!

I'd move out to christmas if I still lived there. No one would really bother you. Luckily I live in the middle of no where out in CO.

a large majority of the population would die

I think a lot of riots would happen but not a large majority.

Unbiased is a prepper :eek:

Heck ya bro, I already have a condition where I can't gain weight I don't want to look like a holocaust victim anymore then I already do.

I'm just going into survival mode. Live underground, ya know? Not literally of course, but, just try to live. Try to find a peaceful place. Mountain next to a lake. And hopefully not get brain f@#$ed by rioters.

I'm gonna buy a 12 gauge and stock up on ammo. At my local walmart here they sell AR's so I'm gonna buy one of those and when I turn 21 next year a handgun since we can open carry in my state.

well i have enough gas in my tank to go at least 50 miles to the smoky mountains, and im a eagle scout, and i know how to trap, make rope make fires, fish etc......i would simply in a year or so of work would have a nice house and just be chilling in the mountains not getting involved in the chaos.....i have enough tools and gear that i would be fine......but i would try to stop at a homedepot or some outdoors place to get a bit more gear.....im fit and can probably outrun all the people on this base.....no im not super fast but i have run more than 8miles nonstop at less than a 8 minute per mile pace, and i didnt even feel a thing.....if i push myself i can probably run 20 miles at a 7 minute per mile pace......and i can run 5 miles at a 6 minute pace



so im all set....i can walk more than 30 miles in a day easily


just saying though if the economy crashes there will be a lot of crime that will be unstopable....so it would be wise to get out of populated areas.....and for those of you who are not so prepared, the easiest thing you could do is become a amish....

I live in a small town full of rednecks so when push comes to shove people are gonna start being shot. That's why I'm gonna get a bunch of Ammo, some vitamins, and more tools and wait it out with my food supply and water.
