My guess is many of us here would fare better than a lot of people who don't know how to hunt/fish, etc. At my house, we would be fine for a long time. My survival skills are pretty good. I can still cut firewood with an axe (no gasoline needed), but my problem would be getting water out of my deep well without electricity. Actually, I do want to install some kind of hand pump on my well that will pump water from over 100' depth. My well is 500' and water level is about 60' from top. With water, we could make it just about forever! When I think of being able to "make" it, I think of no electricity, no gasoline, etc. Right now, my only lack is hand pumped water. But - I am on 9 acres of land too! It would be totally different if I were in the city!
