Post Apocalyptic Survival in Pictures

           
                           Post Apocalyptic Practicalities. 
                                 A brief guide in pictures

We, as a family, have been catching up on the latest season of "The Walking Dead". Apart from the entertainment value there are a number of lessons to be learned from the main characters who, frankly, are a bit dim. Let's face it; they always go into a dark, abandoned building with their heads down or dealing with their inter-group tensions with no apparent thought for the presence of "walkers" or post traumatic stress affected survivors, some of whom have some weird and warped agendas. 

I have therefore thought long and hard about how I would provide for my family and friends in a post-apocalyptic scenario. Here it is is a pictorial presentation;

                             

               Establish a mountain retreat. Excavate tunnels, chambers and burrows.

         Get a tight fitting cover to the entrance to exclude zombies, aliens, survivors. 

     Your supplies must be a varied range covering all nutritional needs and treats

        The absolute essentials should be suitably stored in a dry,secure atmosphere

      It is alright to stockpile a favourite tipple. Alcohol units will cease to be an issue

 Sanitary facilities should be as good as you can achieve with zero water pressure

 A luxurious retro-bathroom may distract you from the misery and horror generally

 Keep a suitable vehicle fuelled up at a separate secure location, practical, not flash

 A subtle barricade further in the valley could give precious seconds to repel raiders

            Gather your precious possessions. They could be legal tender one day

  Pass your spare time with, say, a creative art project using available resources

        It may be a good opportunity to write that novel that you always wanted to do.

 Keep treats and bonuses for special occasions-say, first 12 months underground

                     Never underestimate the value of reliable cooking equipment

   Music can be an essential form or relaxation. Avoid unhappy tunes

          Keep an ear out for any indications of salvation or return of atmosphere

                                            It does no harm to dream.

             Share it with the persons that you love the most in your brave new world

                 Above ground may have reverted to a strange hierarchy of beasts

                                       It won't hurt to just pray a bit either
