The most depressing thing about the apocalypse is that when it happens, we'll have very little time to appreciate it. I don't just mean in the sense that we'll all be dead. I think that many people will likely survive the apocalypse; they will therefore be living in the post-apocalypse and this is a state that will last much longer than its cause. The apocalypse will be much like an orgasm, in that a lot of effort and planning is put into its pursuit, and while it may be powerful, its fallout, both literally and figuratively, will stay with you much longer.
I can't begin to detail my plans for Post-Apocalypse survival. I've already been published in Whitman College's newspaper on the subject and have engaged in several multi-hour conversations with compatriots on the subject. That is why this post is a little different. I am opening the subject up to you all, the readers. I want people to reply to this post with their own favorite post-apocalypse strategies.
An example: Trade off electronic equipment of all sorts. In the first days of the post-apocalypse, fools will think that getting your TV for a wheelbarrow full of canned food is a steal, but a couple weeks down the road once the power has been turned off and generators are running low on gas, you'll be outlasting a rainstorm under your wheelbarrow, chowing down on cold spam while that jerk-off up the road is wet and pissed because he's never gonna know how Lost turns out. Dumb sunovabitch doesn't realize that they've just been making that shit up as they go.
