Would you want to survive an apocalypse or similar?

I’d give it a real effort to see if I could. Can’t promise I’ll stick around, though.

No way. I've seen the walking dead. I would not make it a day. I've already told my husband one bullet to the head is the kindest way to deal with me.

A few years ago someone posted a website so that you can see if you are in a kill zone vs. radiation/fallout zone for a nuclear war. I discovered that my house in VA is not close enough to be in the automatic kill zone. That is a problem. Still made at the person who posted that website.

I saw that too. You could move to MD where the fallout blows over and kills you pretty quickly. If you make it to your basement in VA then you're likely to go on until starvation.

People underestimate the will to survive. I'd do my very, very best. As a lawyer, I have no actual skills that would help me, but I'll keep fighting to live until the bitter end.

You could mediate treaty talks between the biker gangs and the cannibals.

Rationally no. I am not sure it is worth living. But do think a survival instinct will kick in? Especially when it comes to my son? Yes.

No way

I am so nearsighted and need special contacts/solution to see.
I'm a fresh and easy kill.

I'm afraid that even the slow versions of zombies would be able to get me. I've watched the shows. I've tried running across an open field. Yeah, I'm not making it long.

As horrible as it would be, my instinct to survive would be strong, especially if my kids were around.

The reality is lots of people would start dropping like flies 1-2 months into any sort of apocalyptic situation due to lack of modern medicines. Our population is so old. We wouldn't be able to keep up with all the heart attack and stroke deaths.

Nope. I read that thread also, and all I could think was that I wouldn't want to survive that situation. Living in a bunker, in the dark, storing my seeds and weapons? Nah, I'm out.

My kids are teens. They only have to outrun me to get away from the zombies.

Same, girl.

I pass. After the first few days I’d be looking for a way to go out as peacefully as possible.

I wouldn’t want to survive either.
