. Interesting concept. Hard to find out much about Syed Karim who is the Founder & Project Leader http://www.linkedin.com/in/syedkarim1 I am more concerned about who controls the information than the technology to transmit it. I love the technology but once everything is electronic .... I mean everything .... we would be screwed if the switch was turned off. Scary Gary would survive .... Red Baron has his cabin .... but what about the rest of us ?? |

I intend to work on getting over my aversion to cannibalism. There will be a lot of free protein running around. |

Thankfully human flesh actually tastes pretty good. It wont be hard to choke it down once you taste it. I have a sauce recipe if anyone wants it. |

Sounds like we have a plan... We have tech folks to keep us informed, we have hunters, we have farmers, and since I am too old to do those things... I will tend the storehouse and manage/prepare the stock. Now whoever is doing the hunting/gathering... we are picky eaters... NO liberal flesh... ![]() ![]() ![]() I think we will be fine... ![]() |

List of needed skills for end of the world survival groups. either develop one of these skills and prove useful, or be eaten. 1.medical/health and fitness with herbal and primitive resources. 2.firearms/explosives repair and manufacture from crude resources. As well as Tactical employment of each. 3.Food preparation/hunting and storage, to include meats and vegetables and fruits. How to grow and stow. 4.Water purification and transport in differing areas. (most important if water becomes difficult to acquire) 5.Distillation and brewing of spirits, to include ethanol for fuel usage. 6. off the grid power and electric wiring and storage skills, be able to make power from scavenged items. Wind/Solar and battery. 7.historian/teachers/musician/linguist to keep the knowledge already obtained from dying out. ( a hard sell when people are hungry) 8.Blacksmithing skills 9.Candle maker. 10.Fabric maker/seamstress/stich bitch. 11. primitive machinery engineer and builder. (artesian wells and fortressing design , look up Vauban) That should do it.....If you look at this list and don't have ANY of these skills, after the grid goes down.....please continue to eat right and stay in shape. We don't like eating sickly people. |

. I like RedBaron's plan.... and if we run out of protein we could have Henry Bowman over for dinner , he is a bit tough and reeks of gunpowder but a bit of Specters special sauce will overcome that ![]() |

We don't like eating sickly people. I can do the things underlined... so I guess I will not be food... OTOH: I probably taste bad. I think all us gyronauts would be good at #11 |
