56 - no weapons and I don't do canned meals !!! Oh and I've no bug-out place as I'm actually living in it! And I've no bug-out vehicle - sigh! However, I think my chances are quite good as I don't agree with their premises on what's needed for survivial. And anyway, i call it living :lmao:

Surely you get mucho bonus points for having pre-bugged out so far ahead of time?

Hmmm 48, but apparently I NEED to buy a gun - I did have a catapult [from last years secret santa] - but the kids have nicked that:(

I did feel justified in putting down night vision and fortification surveillance because I have 4 dogs.

I got a 15 :(

Prepping is expensive.

Ideologically at least I believe in being prepared. Financially however we just don't have the money at the moment.

A while back we had the beginnings of a halfway decent survival stash in the house with 2 months worth of food stored. Then we went through a financially really rough patch and ate it all ;)

Still I suppose we had prepped to see us through problems, and that is what it achieved.

These days we usually try to keep a few weeks worth of food in the house, but are not actively prepping.

If and when we have the money, I wouldn't be surprised if we had fallout shelters and NBC suits galore :D

Exactly that - bad weather, tough times, rough economy, sick and can't go out..........these are the things that being self reliant get you over.

With running our own business, having a load of fireweood, the lpg tank and freezers full and the garden planted is a great feeling..no work? No problem!

The only reason I scored as high as I have is due to living near a spring, having means to heat the house and cook while off the grid and having a limitless supply of wood:)

That's what the inhabitants of Easter Island thought too.

No they didn't. They knew fine well what they were doing.

One day someone went out and cut down the very last tree so they could build one last giant statue. They probably thought they shouldn't do it, but the construction of those monuments was a national obsession that had completely overtaken their culture.
