I think i have almost all items mentioned here for 2012. I need to gather more for 2012 and these items are very important to survive in case 2012 is real
Cigarettes hahaha. Well at the end of the world, it's nothing like a cig. Guess what? dont expect to find cigs in Y2K. So do us a favor and quit.
the best thing that one can carry is a good head on there sholders
How on earth is one expected to carry all that stuff around if we are evacuated. Be real, study the army survival kits and skills and have the appropriate survival items at hand like tents, survival blankets, nutritious hiking foods, warm clothing decent waterproof hiking boots and wetproof clothing, torches, camp burners. All this can be packed in a reasonably sized rucksack. More importantly have a plan as to where you are going to go. Have small tinned fishing tackle avialable n swiss knives. Then pray.
im guessing the goats n chickens will carry the luggage? haha
this is a great list although you left out one important item the most important one actually,a bible
I am so afraid. My family does not take this seriously and I don't know if I have the cash to purchase all of this. So if it happens I guess we are done.
I dont no wat to say considering that no one knows if this is real or not i dont no wat to think or do we need to find a way to figure out if this is real or not
ur guna still die, sorry to say
Levi jeans are a bad choice as are any cotton wear. They retain moisture, cumbersome when wet etc. rips top nylon bdu with a solid base layer. Basic outdoorsmanship. Anyone experienced in survival and the outdoors will tell you this is basic and anyone who has gone on a simple winter walk knows the feeling of wet frozen denim. Definitely a rookie mistake on this list
If you have not been a hunter, hiker or adventurer, then you will probably not survive this disaster scenario anyway. Your best hope is to purchase a Bible, and a couple of books on survival, along with a few basic hand tools. Purchase one book on general bush craft, and one on editable plant recognition. Don't worry too much about meat, regardless of what you might have been told, all animals and birds are eatable. Catching them is the problem. Try to find books with waterproof pages, and in color. Black and white sketches of plants will not help much in real life. Go out every time you can, and practice basic skills. Reading about or watching someone make a fire without matches for instance, is not like actually making one yourself. It takes practice, patience, and most of all perseverance. Come to think of it, the most important thing you can take with you other than faith in God is perseverance.
AirPlane, helicopter (so u can take to the air) ground verticals.
The world may not end but our way of life is due for radical changes. An emergency kit is vital for any disaster. Stock up anything you can it's a good investment. Learn basic skills such as cooking from scratch, simple household repairs, mending clothes and so on. Think of all the things you can make with flour. Pies, bread, pasta, cakes and cookies. Back to basics is the name of the game
