Would you really want to live in a post Apocolyptic World?

[pinshooter45]

Just Thought I'd start a deep thinking Poll on this subject. While in a SHTF senario as portrayed in the TV show Jericho, i would want to continue to live, because order would eventually be restored. I' not sure at 51 years old I'm not sure how long I'd want to stick around in a "Book Of Eli" situation. I know that my main concern in that instance would be to try to get all the Stuff I could to my son and my grand children to ensure their survival in the hope that things would begin anew some day. While the the thought of having to Kill an intrudrer trying to harm me or my wife, is not pleasant I would do it! But in an end of the world senario where I might have to kill on a regular basis to survive I'm not so sure. What would you do?

Being perfectly honest, I can't say until confronted with the situation.

However, I am a survivalist and have been one for as long as I can remember (at least age 11). Being a survivalist means that I can survive whatever is thrown at me and figure out how I can best manage given the situation. I believe that attitude is the number one key to survival. There are a lot of things that can destroy that attitude, but as long as it is intact, I believe I will try to survive.

I think the biggest motivator for me is insatiable curiousity. I want to see how it all turns out.

I have am not self-deluded enough to think that I will live forever. But, I also will not just lay down and die just because the bottom fell out of our society.

If toilets still flushed and took it away, maybe.

If you are truly talking about the END OF THE WORLD I don't think you will have much choice. As a Bible believing Christian I will say when the Good Lord pulls the final curtain you won't have to figure out how to survive. That is why it is called THE END OF THE WORLD! Me thinks people put too much stock in Hollywood instead of Holy Word. Now if you don't believe in God well I think you will wish you had. That time will not be a fantasy it will be the Real Deal. Just my .

realistically I'd be more apt to do a fanstasy camp for SHTF. no one in their right mind would hope for it.

In a zombie situation, you survive or you become one of them... and you can't become one of them on my watch. I can't shoot a fellow INGO'er.

 

[Armed & Christian]

Somebody has to be prepared to spread the Gospel of salvation, and be available to dispense mercy & other necessities.

 

[infidel]

What?! And miss my wet dream zombie killing?

As long as there is 5.56 to shoot and bacon to be had, if you guys need a place to stay come on over. The password is INGO and you must bring at least 1 weapon. Class 3 gets you a bed.

I don't see where I have a choice, the alternative seems a little worse

 

[Joe Williams]

I'd rather live in one than die in one.

Hey, let me know what it's like if you return.

 

[ThrottleJockey]

Yes. I think it would be a better world to live in to be honest. One where your assets and successes are directly proportionate to your labor. The harder and smarter you work to survive, the better you will live. Instead of the world we live in now where ignorance, stupidity and being a good consumer that does as told are rewarded while hard work and honesty are an almost certain recipe for failure.

 

[Bastispah]

Clarification

Just a point of clarification, I was thinking more of something in between, Jericoh, and the true Biblical End of the world. And I'm not talking about just laying down to die. By not wanting to live in a man made end of the world I would be more likely to go down fighting so my son and grand children would survive. In a Jericoh senario I would be more likely to use all survival skills including avoidance, and stealth to survive. Because as a Christian myself when the Lord pulls the Plug on the world it will be an entirely different situation.

I'm like ThrottleJockey in that I think the future could be better than the present in a lot of ways. It really does depend on exactly what form the apocalypse takes. If it's a disease, an EMP attack or food shortage that takes a big percentage of the population, while leaving the environment unchanged, it could be a better world to live in 10 years down the road.

Heck, I'd even volunteer to help repopulate the world because I'm just that much of a giver.

I'd rather live through it and survive. I'm sure I'd feel different if my family didn't make it though. However, I'd probably live the life that Kevin Costner did before getting caught in "The Postman". Under the radar, drifter, just surviving.

Like the ending scene in "A Boy and His Dog"?

I am alive and will stay that way as long as possible.
Sometimes life is easy, other times more challenging, but there will be plenty of time to be dead later.
Besides I want to stick around and see the return of Jesus.
