When the end really begins to come down do you think you are gonna be a survivor? Do you imagine yourself still making it to being 80-100 years old?
I just dont know, im pretty confident ill be one of the ones to die off in the massive die offs.

In my currrent location, there will certainly be food and water. It never gets below 10C (50F) here, so I won't freeze either. But global nuclear war, smallpox, bird flu, etc., are wild cards.

None of us knows how long we have. So cherish your loved ones, your pets, your hobbies, the sun, moon, and stars.

Same situation for me as for Microhydro. I live in a city (around 500k ppl) but I have the posibility to reach a safe/permanent location in a village (in about 2 hours drive, to a house which my family owns, old style, Easter Europe, no gas, no electricity, no sewage, but perfectly sustainable in the old ways). There I'm certain I can resist a bit longer than the average citizen. But, ... a nuclear war, a pandemic or some E.L.E. will likely reduce everybody's chance to around 10% (I presume).

By attitude I consider myself informed and a survivor, but there's plenty of work to do.

I hope for 75 age . My hope.

I am totally confidant that I will survive, as long as I survive bird-flu and isn't killed by other people. Food will be no problem. 80-100, I don't think so, but you never know.

Who can say. I'm just going to do my best and hope that it's enough.

[Windmills]

I certainly hope so. However, timing is everything. If I have enough time to prepare, I think I have a good chance. I'm working on preparations, but there's still a lot to do. If I had a spare $100,000, I'd probably be much more certain.

I am going to die at some point - thats for sure. But maybe the "die-off" won't happen until I'm 80? I don't think we can be sure its so near. Everyday on this site I see "here it is", "here it comes"...and I'm not so sure anyone will know until its passed. In the early 1900's folks were worried about oil shortages and not being able to find enough oil (which was valid bc they were worried about becoming an oil dependant society). Its been over 80 yrs and we are still debating it!

Yes alot of you are right maybe we might not even see a die off in our time humans might just start going to more polluted ways to keep us going for a long while to come. Trust me we will use ever resource the earth has as long as possible to keep our society going so we could last for another 100 years but unlikely. and im sure i will die when the die offs come if im around because i have no survival skills. I rely on grocery stores, i have never cooked for myself. Im a sissy that could not fight anyo;ne or anything. I have bad skills im just a bad person all around. Im not sure if i can change this im trying to but its hard.

I don't know if I'll live to 80 or 100, but I know I won't go out with a wimper. I intend to go out fighting, kicking and screaming all the way.

If it goes down hard like the doomers say then in all likelyhood I will be commiting suicide. Whats the point in living a life of misery and suffering, when you have been used to so much more?

Sorry but I have been spoiled by the oil age and the future we are talking about on here is not one in which I want to live.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'W')hat is it specifically that concerns you the most?

[PrairieMule]

Suffering, violence, Police state, cannibalism. All are possible outcomes, but lets focus on eating the elephant one bite at a time and discuss the possibility of a Police state.

As far as the police state or goverment control, whenever I worry about that I remind myself this is the same goverment that tries to do a census every 10 years. A collective effort to to put a boot to necks of the the american people will trip over it's own bureuacracy. Also I know this sounds strange but If the police state comes I have faith in Local Law enforcement vs the national level. The Police state will come from a national level and not local which will involve federalization of National guardsman, DEA, ATF, FBI, etc and they are grossly outnumbered.I do have concern about the Patriot act I and II and the new "things" put in play. In fact I am watching the filibustering by the Dems on the Patriot act. Local Law enforcement has a different focus than than the groups mentioned before. They have a much better awareness of civil rights due to accountability and training. Although their may be bad apples in local law enforcement who will take advantage of the loosening of civil rights, I believe the average beat cop will not draw his Gloc on his neighbor or someone he goes to church with.
