SURVIVAL in a post-apocalyptic world.

No matter what the apocalyptic situation may be, there are certain necessities for survival.

1. Weapons- No matter what the situation, there will be struggle and war over obtaining the items needed for survival. In this case, weapons will be needed. No more law, no more mercy, everyone you don't trust will become an enemy for the most part.

2. Food and water- There is no way to survive without energy. Food becomes scarce and must be rationed along with water. A person can live only 3 days without water.

3. Shelter- A person must have either a semi-permanent shelter or become nomadic. This will depend on the particular apocalypse.

4. Common Sense- In todays world, most people can get by without it...haha...but in a post-apocalyptic world, common sense becomes the fourth need of survival.

Weapons- obviously the best weapon will be somthing small and powerful- a pistol or sub machine gun. But that doesnt mean an assult rifle or just your average rifle or shotgun would be a bad thing to have near by. Also its a good idea to have a good sized knife on your belt and maybe some type of explosive.

Food and water- Depending on the apocalypse, bottle water and purification tablets would be good to have in your shelter. Keeping a few tablets in your pack wouldnt hurt. Home made filters can be good to have to. As far as food goes, non parishable items....- canned food, and dried food...also anything with lots of calories and carbs. Carbs=Energy!

Shelter- if you are going for a more permanent shelter, somthing very strong is suggested. Something with strong doors walls a roof and locks. For a nomad, a simple tent will do but is certainly not the best choice. Campers make easy shelters but in a post-apocalyptic world, gas will be hard to find and in this case a camper must be pulled by a vehicle.
