I have to say though, when they cooked a rat and distilled their own pee to drink...they lost me. I'm not stupid, you could find yourself in an extreme catastrophic aftermath. You could possibly have no choices left other than the very unthinkable ones. However, I'm more a believer in the being prepared way of thinking.
As a "Prepper" you need to arm yourself with all the information that you can attain pertaining to water, food and protection. I have notebooks with instructions and tips on all of those subjects, from medical to growing and preserving food. The basics of that collection as well as the basic survival supplies are in my vehicle and in every location that I know I will be, such as this summer cabin. I am better supplied at my primary home, but not UN-prepared anywhere.
My point is, an average person over a time can accumulate a lot of survival supplies without spending a lot of money. The most important thing is that you allow your mind to consider possibilities and how you would cope with those events. If you don't know, find out. Just as you were taught and taught your children, to have a plan to escape your home in a fire. You need to think ahead, not wait and think you will figure it out, IF it happens. Pick a day in your life and mentally walk through it. How would you accomplish each thing you do in a day without power, running water, transportation? How would you take care of and protect you and your family for even one week without those conveniences?
It's fine and well to believe that you could be tough, that you could think outside the box if it was a necessity. You have to possess a box, in order to have that option...step one, I need a box. I've learned in my more than just a few years, you can never say never...but I promise you I will eat a ton of rice and beans and it won't be boiled in my own pee, before I'll be roasting up Mr. Rat for supper.
