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 i 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
