Real life survival

[borka]

You're absolute right in your first point. And i think you don't want me to define the posted conception of normal...

Currently living in a city, a good thing to do is find out lesser known traffic routes/escape routes. The highways will be clogged in time of disaster, so you'll need alternate methods. Practice climbing fences, walls, gates, etc, never know when it will come in handy.

Find alternate routes to cross rivers and things of that nature. Bridges aren't your friend when it comes to survival. Easy to destroy during quarantines.

Cardio. Cardio. Cardio. Walk, run, jog, skip, hike. Whatever, doesn't matter how you get it, do it, and often.

See i ate both - but the gorilla wasn't from bushmeat trade and it died not by getting killed

one of the very important rules on true survival is that you never eat meat from the animals that died not by getting killed, though. (or you could get sick or desease from the meat, unless you are sure of how it died)

im not fussing over normal and strange, but someone used to insist "not strange, but different" as a motto
when i first saw americans having a great time at BBQ, with a semi-whole roasted beef hanging at the site, i almost fainted. but they still blamed me for showing them a picture of a whole cooked fish with its head on a plate and asked me how i could eat it while seeing its head.

well, that was decades ago, now many have changed and got more flexible mind, they now even love eating sushi!
back then, lots of them even hated the idea of eating raw fish and went "ewwww".

who knows, maybe after another decade, someone may find how healthy "worms" can be and may start a new boom?

I have friends from the UK (I am American) who are absolutely appalled by the thought of mixing peanut butter and jelly, a staple food for many American Children at lunchtime. There are food customs the world 'round that shock and appall other cultures, I find it fascinating.
Tartare is a good example, a dish where you take raw meat garnished with a raw egg on top, and eat it just like that. Almost all Americans I speak with find it disgusting, I myself think it sounds quite appetizing; I would only eat this dish if I knew exactly where the meat came from and if the butcher was close.

On that note, here is how to avoid becoming Human Tartare to a Bear.

i love peanut butter and jelly too bad i cant buy good peanut butter in my town.

Sibberchai, i dont know where you got the pic from, but be careful when you actually recommend something survival.
nope, lying down on the ground, prentending to be asleep or dead does not always let bears go.
not everyone concious can stay still when a bear starts attacking with its teeth or nails, no way.
that method has been proven wrong and stupid for quite a while now, i believe.
*edit* actually there was one recent case one was alive, but she managed to stay still after being bitten...

it all depends on how, when, and where you meet a bear, and also depends on the bear's conditions and surroundings,
and i would not like to list what to do, to avoid confusions or misinterpretations.
the best way is always to avoid bears, just like this game (unless you can kill it easily somehow)

Try fishing for rats, put cat food on hook. Find a nice rat hole in a dark alley somewhere (preferably inner city rats), and lure those bitches in. If you thought cat fish put up fight, try a NYC alley rat!
