    What would happen if civilisation collapsed? What could I do for myself? Who would be on my post-apocalyptic survival team? ... A single average-sized supermarket should be able to sustain [a single person] for around 55 years – 63 if you eat the canned cat and dog food as well

    Apparently We are NOT to panic! Survival specialist Lewis Dartnell has written a handy guide to surviving the end of the world as we know it and ‘rebooting’ the planet. It’ll be grand!

    Read more here :)
    As part of the UK Space Agency, does he know something we don’t? “There’s nothing in particular on the horizon you’d want to be concerned about,” he says, before pausing to reflect. “Although we are running out of oil, and we’re damaging our climate in a global sense. But it’s not like there’s an asteroid coming.” There’s silence over the phone for a moment. “As far as we know.”

    He even mentions that all knowledge could well disappear. Now, can anyone tell me what measures are people taking in here to Preserve our Knowledge; to Preserve our History; to ensure that after the strongest survive, that they are not re-creating their own History?!

    Thanks,

    how would all Knowledge disappear? will all books be burnt, all experts killed? I doubt the world would ever get knocked back beyond 18th century technology, hopefully we realise that that was a fairly crappy time to live in and don't replicate it fully.

    no matter what happens unless humanity is wiped out all knowledge would not disappear

    Was reading about Lewis Dartnell yesterday and the book he is promoting .
    His video clips of his how to guides are worth watching.

    Can see it happen

    alot of industry moving to the middle east. Things like electronics and mass manufacture of fabrics like cotton is probably lost to people living in Ireland.

    WE could probably manage to grow some flax for linen and some hemp and wool

    most food production? we would be fine I'd say
