Here's something I read on the BBC news site
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-34637377
Ok using the phrase "the end of the world" is a bit sensationalist, and let's face it, in the face of a truly major disaster like an asteroid strike, or nuclear war (God forbid), we are all likely good as dead.
But it's probably true that the food supply chain is fairly fragile, and in the event of something major like a worldwide pandemic, basic food stores, and even utilities like water/electricity might be disrupted.
The possibility of an uncontrollable worldwide virus outbreak still scares the hell out of me, and I think is the most immediate threat to the human race.
It's also probably true that Governments would not be able to cope, and you would not be able to rely on them to provide adequate services.
So how would you cope in this situation? Or do you think this survivalist/prepping stuff is pointless?
