I'm already lovin' this. I can't wait to learn.
Question: "The end of the world as we know it" seems to be a long term situation no matter how I currently look at it, feedback please. Please let me know how this could be short term. The 72 hour thing seems a little ill prepared. A month minimum seems more realistic depending on where you live. I'm already ready for this (at least I think I am). Could you really be prepared for anything? We should discuss different situations and real life possibilities.
As a Christian, my faith comforts me. I must be prepared for what I think can happen. God gave me a brain to use, not set idle. "Pray but row for the shore" is a good philosophy in my book.

I have never been in harms way for any length of time. Never been lost for more than a few hours (Colorado Elk hunt), never had to spend the night in the wilderness unless I wanted to and have never been hungry enough to care about it.

Let's get this goin'.
