I watch videos everyday on survival skills and have eaten some wild edibles like dandalion and pine needle tea. picked wild rasberrys. identified other plants that are edible and participated in the gutting of a rabbit. I would not just give up and die. but some people i've talked to claim they would do just that. what would you do if garbage hit the fan.

governments wont let it happen. history always repeats itself. unless they really want to bring a "game changer" to the equation. |

I have actually thought about buying 20 acres of land with a simple cabin in northern MN. Still not ready to pull the trigger.
I'd need some help with wild edibles and planting/harvesting my own food, but the other part would not be a problem.
Spend 10 days in the boundary waters in northern MN and you'll figure out what you are made of. |

I like Hutches Chances with his Arsenal...
myself on the other hand...Id be F#$#*d. I have a flat screen, nice set of golf clubs, 6 month supply of ProV1's and a boat.
I could just drive to out to the middle of the lake and start yelling "come and get me" then start hitting stinger 3 irons at those on the beach that want to hurt me...
my odds are improving ...
but i forgot to grab my spikes in the hurry to get to my boat and safety...and I am a guy that plays a cut and the wind would be from my left ...
hard to get it close to the mean people
I am F$%##d
