How prepared are you?

We've all seen the apocalypse movies, from zombies to environmental hazards if the shit hits the fan you've got to be ready. Are you? Do you have a bug-out bag put together? Do you have any skills that would help sustain you in the event of a power grid failure? Can you fish or hunt? Do you know your edibles? Can you build a fire with very little supplies?


Cool, because there's a 99% chance you'll never NEED those skills. Realistically, I just dig camping and find that working on "survival" skills is both fun and helps to balance things out a bit. I wish I had more time to go but I have been putting together a bag that I can just grab and go camping with for a few days without having to pack up every time I want to head out. I guess the skills I really need to work on are hunting (which I'll probably never do, I'm not against it in any way but I won't do it unless it's a real necessity) and identifying what's safe to eat as far as berries, roots, and mushrooms go (I've never been good at that).
