Nothing would really change if most of the world died huh?Lucy in the sky said:i had a funny idea that if, like in the Stand something wiped out most of the world, what would you do? Then i thought what if only people on the hype were left? I'm not sure if this has been done before, but i figured most people on the internet are recluses so nothing would really change. What do you think?
I was speaking for myself....I am a country boy too (fishing and bow hunting is no problem)...I also was a water treatment operator for over 20 years (so I know about making safe drinking water)....the original poster made it sound like there would be no interruption to his life if an event like the Stand happened...I was trying to point out to him that it would.Alpha and Omega said:

Yep....I grew up without having a cell phone to my ear all day long. Didn't get a computer until 4 years ago. As a kid, I had to walk or ride my bike if I wanted to go anywhere (there was no public transportation, and my parents didn't chaufeur me everywhere). I grew up in rural Kentucky....every time the wind blew hard the electricity went out. There were many times, that what I caught fishing or shot while hunting, was what we had for dinner later.Alpha and Omega said:

Other than that, I'd take some of my novels for some kind of ent., and attempt to survive w/ little or no incident.
but for how long :/ the medicine can only last for so long :/ that would be my only concern.. medicines... vitamins and such that I take.Alpha and Omega said:If that's how you were raised, the initial transition would seem difficult, but you would adapt quickly. Like you said, I don't think that would happen for most of my generation.
A lot of my friends are confused when it comes to simple things like changing tires, oil matinence, checking tire pressure, etc. . . simple things. Most are looking for the nearest Midas or Service Center.
This is just an example, but I couldn't see them and a lot of other people (under 30 like myself) functioning w/out grocery stores(any other major food resource center), benefits derived from tech(like electricity, things that use electricity), and covering(home, hotel, etc. . .).
If it was me, I'd probably take around 50-75lbs of canned goods(if I had access to them), an extensive medical kit w/ a few antibiotics, pain relievers, bandages, etc. . ., matches, can-opener, my hunting knife, my bow, and my katana.
I'm not sure if I'd take a gun of some sort w/ me. A lot of my extended family is in to hunting w/ live ammo, but I always preferred a bow and arrow. I've only taken out small game w/ that instrument though. On second thought, I might actually need a rifle to eat frequently.

I pity the fool that mess with me. If something like the Stand happen I would move to kentucky and go back to farming,after finding any survivors(especially if Elisha one of them 
) and I do know something about medicine, my sister was a paramedic and used to read her those books of hers as for drugs if you know the old remedys(go to a good library) you can find alot plants that can also help you

But instead of the world dying, it's more like every hype poster is stalked by the hype illumanti, captured by them, and forced to fight in tournaments while they all bet on us like roosters in cock fights 
That and them playing the Running Man game with us all \C. Lee said:Yep...already got the essentials stockpiled on the old homestead...I'll be out looking for the fun stuff.
