What will you do during the Die-Off? When oil and natural gas have depleted so much that agriculture must once again be done with hand tools and animal power, without artificial fertilizer, without pesticides, and there is no fuel for trucks to carry the produce to markets far from the farms, lots of people will starve. Experts are saying that 90% of the human race will die. How will you avoid being among the losers?

The Wolf at the Door
by Paul Thompson
http://wolf.readinglitho.co.uk/mainpages... I live in the desert. There really are precious few mushrooms around here, and almost no pine trees! I actually have a lot of plant identification books. Even books that identify plants in the winter, when they are just weedy sticks. Big library. Report Abuse I live in the West Virginia Allegheny mountains, about 4 miles from the nearest small town (Hillsboro, pop. 300). I%26#039;m a mile north and uphill from the nearest highway, tucked out of sight behind a deciduous forest. I%26#039;m fairly well armed, but I live alone and could conceivably be surprised. Report Abuse The population of Pocahontas County is fairly low, though. And most of the locals could sustain themselves if they used their land appropriately. Report Abuse I%26#039;ve a 4-year supply of stored grains (rice %26amp; wheat) and legumes (peas %26amp; beans), I%26#039;m growing an orchard (apples, walnuts, etc.). I%26#039;m growing new potatoes in what was my flower garden. And I%26#039;m learning how to forage wild stuff. Report Abuse I have around 1600 fantasy novels to read for entertainment. All the best stuff. I always was a reader. I don%26#039;t watch TV or go to movies. I have books on finding, identifying and harvesting wild plants. And more books on math, chemistry, physics, etc. Report Abuse I have goats, an oak grove (acorns), blackberries growing in patches on my land. There%26#039;s enough small game around that I don%26#039;t need to raise rabbits. Just shoot them. And I%26#039;m trying to get arrowhead (edible tuber) established in some nearby wet areas. Report Abuse I have clarinets (Eb and Bb) and play them fairly well. One of my %26quot;neighbors%26quot; (about 3/4 miles away) has a horse ranch, but I plan to backpack %26amp; camp. I already hike about 500 miles/year, sometimes into Hillsboro to buy groceries or check my mail. I could hike more if I had to. Report Abuse I agree with you that biological wealth is the truest form of wealth. Have you thought much about eugenics? If it makes horses and heirloom veggies better, then it would probably work on people, too. Report Abuse And wouldn%26#039;t it be nice if more people were born strong, smart, dexterous, agile, with much endurance, with acute senses, and naturally resistant to disease? I think it could be done, but the cost would be that people would need to marry for that purpose, and not on impulse. Report Abuse I%26#039;ve brewed mead before. I still have a small bit of my best melomel (added prune juice) from 1996. It%26#039;s in my refrigerator waiting for the right moment - though I couldn%26#039;t say what that might be. Report Abuse I leave you with one bit of advice. Don%26#039;t eat raccoon. The meat tastes nasty. Report Abuse I was raised with a pet raccoon. My baby pictures are either with a raccoon, or a baby cheeta. I couldn%26#039;t bring myself to eat a raccoon. Besides, with their diet, I%26#039;m fairly certain that leaves them open to carring a lot of diseases. Report Abuse In reguard to hunting rabbits, remember wild rabbits also carry disease. One that can kill humans. There%26#039;s a haemorrhagic disease, not yet effecting humans, but kills rabbits so fast they die with food in their mouth. Started in China in 1984, now found worldwide.
