    Ha! Here in Australia we don’t ‘prep’. But I reckon I could comfortably survive in the bush for a good year with what I could throw into my ute with 5 min warning.

      I’ve been thinking more and more about Australia as a safe haven, but I’ll have to learn to be an Australian to live there. Lots of things that will kill you there.

      I could do alright for a few months if I found a remote enough place with a nice stream. I’ve got a garden and my tackle box is already in the truck for reasons unrelated to the apocalypse. I’d be living off fish, a small variety of veggies, and garlic.

      If I could reach back far enough in my memory I could make a bow, fletch some arrows, and go hunting. I have the woodworking tools and with a bit of trial and error could probably remember how to make a string from animal gut or hide. Bonus, more fish hooks.

      I would really enjoy that until it stopped feeling like a vacation and started feeling like work. I love hunting and used to love making tools for it.

      Yeah i live in the Territory, plenty of empty space thousands of head of cattle no one would care about once global trade collapsed.

      Hell i think pur biggest problems would be other countries trying to take over.
