Survival. Could you live off the land?

So. The world for what ever reason goes to hell in a wossits. All the looting possibilities have been used up so no more tinned food, Crispy Pancakes or Jelly Tots in the supermarkets. There is no petrol or electricity or 'Strictly' or Facebook around anymore. Board.ie is but a distant memory. Theres just you and your family and your dog, a poodle, and you have a knife.
Ask your self....... COULD YOU SURVIVE???:eek:

I have a copy of The SAS Survival book somewhere and am a close personal friend of Ray Mears and I firmly believe that Bear Grills is a frilly blouse. So obviously I would be fine.....

Yes, i could get my butler and maid to learn the art.

I'm a scout leader so of course I could survive!

Nope. I would trap you with some handy knotted rope and toasting marsh mallows and eat you

Richard Hillman · 18-06-2011 07:09PM

All i need is a knife, a water bottle, a flint and some string.

Ah. But for the likes of I the water and food supply never does run out. And when you emerge blinking into the sun you will hear the swish of my arrow as it enters your chest and then you will be round to my gaff for dinner.... In a manner of speaking.

Not a hope.

galwayrush · 18-06-2011 07:39PM

No, because we won't be allowed to live in the countryside in the future unless there's a mains sewage provided.

Standard Toaster · 18-06-2011 07:41PM

The Chinese will still be open....bag of chicken balls & chips there Wang.

Radharc na Sleibhte · 18-06-2011 07:43PM

Absolutely, of course, who couldnt these days.

Money grows on trees, right?

KeithAFC · 18-06-2011 07:49PM

Aye.

flutterflye · 18-06-2011 07:54PM

There's still internet though right??

Um.. I guess I could. I'd just batt my eyelids at a few guys when I needed food.

ejmaztec · 18-06-2011 07:55PM

*checks forums I help mod*

Mmmmmm.... that's a toughie

wild_cat · 18-06-2011 08:16PM

Yup. Grew up on a farm and have read many eating from the hedge row books to.

Wouldn't have a clue how to snare an animal for meat though (like what kind of trap to make). My parents are always going on about how nice rabbit was before mxyo came on the rounds big time.

**Timbuk2** · 18-06-2011 08:33PM

I played Minecraft so I'd feel thoroughly prepared for such an occurrence.

I have a Diploma in Agriculture and farming.

i reckon id be safe

Solnskaya · 18-06-2011 08:56PM

Don't think a diploma in getting the c.a.p grants and how to finance a massey ferguson would do you much good Snype, and daysul could be scarce for them big jeeps that are compulsory for farming nowadays. Personally I would just hide in the local Lidl and survive on pot noodle, the people round here are too lazy to loot anything, so it should be grand.
