Survival

[Unbreakable Will]

I'd survive the trout out of the apocalypse...

...if cheat codes are provided for me.

I once bought a book by Ray Mears called Essential Bushcraft with the tagline "A handbook of survival skills from around the world." I haven't read it, but I keep it handy for just such an eventuality.

I'm slim, which I'm never sure is a help or hindrance? Advantage: I can run; disadvantage: can't survive off my own fat reserves for months.

I'd claim my spot on the Throne of Bhaal as planned.

[Shiny]

My heart is black and fearless, but I would still die as would everyone else. Only insects would survive most likely.

I know how to fish, shoot (would probably be rubbish at hunting though), start a fire, reinforce my house (in the case of zombies), as well as basic first aid stuffs. I could probably survive for a while.

I'm also slightly disappointed by the lack of can do attitude in this thread. We're gamers! We can do anything*!




*That the developers allow us to.

The game's code is just a suggestion of how to play.

[Shlup]

I'm not really interested in surviving any kind of apocalypse. I don't do cold showers.

Laddy knows how to survive.

He's gonna win Survivor someday.

One day. One day.

I have enough of a will to live that I'd last as long as I could and go down swingin'. If the apocalypse starts while I'm at home, I'm good to go because we have military food stores and water and all of the guns and knives and ammo you could ever hope for. Thank god for conservative mormons. Do not come knocking, you will be turned away or turned into food.

If it started anywhere else, I'm certain the only chance I'd have is if I stayed out of sight during the day and came out to rob houses/stores/cars/whatever at night. I've had some survival training thanks to classes in school and been camping, but other than that I'd have to wing it!

I thought that I would have been pretty well prepared because I was raised to be prepared. However, after watching "The Road" with Viggo Mortensen I now think differently. There are just too many crazies out there who love an unpoliced countryside. You'll need a lot of guns and know how to shoot them, which I don't. However, zombies would be no problem.

The Road is so great, but it definitely made me more afraid of people than I would be of zombies or whatever D:

Well, I know who my new apocalypse survival buddy is.

I live in Australia.

Judging from the size of your bugs and how many of them will try and kill you I'd say you're already living in the apocalypse.

In terms of man vs wild I know how to fish and I know some edible plants/animals and how to trap and prepare them. However big game hunting might be beyond me unless I got some good practice in with some form of ranged weapon. Though the biggest issue with this is unless 99.9% of humanity is wiped out in the initial onslaught I'm not the biggest or strongest of men and whilst I'm resourceful and social enough that I could probably make things work for me in a post apocalyptic society I would be pretty far down the pile which whilst change-able is going to be a lot of hard work of adapting, learning and if necessary fighting my way up the ranks of whatever society raises itself up out of the ashes.

Weapon wise? I live pretty close to a hunting/survival/outdoors store what sells various firearms (I'm not sure if it's anything more dangerous than a pellet/bb gun but they'd be good for practice and with some thought as to where you're aiming you certainly can hunt smaller game with one) and knives along with equipment such as camping/survival supplies and fishing equipment. That would be my first port of call. Whilst some people might suggest using a sword as a weapon frankly you'd be better off with a good knife bound to a strong pole to make a spear of sorts and a hatchet. Axes were often used in medieval times by peasant militias and infantry as an alternative to the sword since they take less skill to use (and steel to make)

If we're talking zombie apocalypse? Depends I live in one of the worlds largest cities... it'd end very badly for me if I didn't get out VERY fast.

We'll be painting "Donner" on our mailbox for good measure.
