BOATS - The ULTIMATE APOCALYPSE SURVIVAL PLAN? (nuclear? zombies?) | EE 160

[@sveoti]

I’m one of those people who cruised with my parents from the late 1960s through the early 1980s. The world has definitely changed, but let’s take a moment to discuss a thought-provoking topic, truly a bourbon or rum topic, the end of the world. One thing that often gets overlooked is how the global pandemic shifted the attitude of relatively friendly island nations toward cruisers. In places like Grenada, people were abruptly kicked out of anchorages, health visas became mandatory, and other regulations popped up overnight. Many of those restrictions have been slow to roll back. Now, about that “end of the world” scenario. As much as we tech enthusiasts love a good hockey stick graph, the depopulation events described in dystopian futures are terrifyingly steep. These scenarios often predict that 80% of the population could perish within weeks or months. From there, the remaining 20% would rapidly decline to just 3-5% within a year. That’s truly the end of the world. In such a collapse, the ability to organize and motivate at scale would evaporate quickly. Sails would become essential because, even in some Mad Max-like future, fuel supplies wouldn’t last long. The process of extracting, refining, and distributing fuel depends on a supply chain that would already be broken. Survival patterns would shift dramatically. Cities, dependent on complex supply chains, would empty out. Plains and forests would also become less viable due to their resource demands. Coastal and riverbound areas would likely become the new hubs of survival. However, even that would face challenges. In the U.S., for example, the river system relies heavily on powered flood control infrastructure. Without it, the system would degrade and potentially self-destruct within a few seasons. Looking back on those 1970s cruising days, survival at sea was simpler but demanding. All you really needed was a reliable chart, a solid compass, and an exceptional watch. Speaking of watches, do you have a mechanical timepiece with +/- one-second-per-month accuracy? Not a smartwatch, but a purely mechanical marvel? That’s the kind of tool you’d need, especially since GPS would fail within a year or less without human operators to maintain it. I’m not a prepper, but as a cruiser, these are the kinds of things that spark late-night conversations under the brilliance of the stars. Those moments-sharing thoughts, reflecting on what could be, and marveling at the universe-are truly unforgettable.

Seriously guys…………………..what’s happening with your build project for your hard dodger and spray hood?

[@rak3151]

I loved this video. Keep on posting a variety of videos. Your channel, Your content. Thanks for this episode.

[@BrianPetersen-l2w]

Another concern I would add is the loss of satellite navigation if space warfare is happening. Most sailors today have no experience with non electronic navigation tools or even charts.

[@BradHoward-o8g]

Learn to use paper charts!

[@notapplicable2636]

That is why now is the seemingly perfect time to start learning how to use a chart/"the stars" for navigation

[@ryanmacnail]

Your biggest reliance is on consumables and spare parts. As soon as your RO membranes are exhausted you are out of water. Test your theory by seeing how long you can last before bringing any replacement part, tool, or consumable onboard your boat.

[@roberthardy2013]

EIGHT YEARS ! My wife and myself got 51 years until she died. Still good as a couple and worked together well all those years. Go for it guys, you have a way to go yet, have a great journey.

[@DaveBrandt96]

Kids, you have no idea how much I enjoy your videos and this from an. almost 86-year-old fan. As Parlay Revival says, "You will not know what you have missed. etc. etc." You and several others have closed that window for me and I, am now able to experience the joy that you are privileged to experience, firsthand. My most sincere thanks.!

[@SeizeTomorrowToday]

I feel like you should show us how to survive on an abandoned island. That'll be the REAL test of your marriage.

[@jesuschrist-alphaomega]

I am a big time Prepper and ran a survival supply store. and approaching my life on a boat as a stand alone survival craft. Love this as I do not have your real time real time experience. Miss you guys. and we are Always A MARINE! once and forever!! Semper Fi

[@barroosa]

You guys are goofballs. This was fun.

[@johncowie7703]

Quite an interesting and comical conversation. I think an island would be good too as an unpredictable hurricane could be a little problem for a sailboat. But I enjoyed the free flow of ideas.

[@Darkbeers]

I really enjoyed your light hearted stroll through the apocalypse! People can be so serious at times and it's nice to take a break from the doom - even for a little bit. Don't let the keyboard warriors with their overly tight undergarments worry you. They are going to carp and find fault no matter what. Your videos are wonderfully edited, sound levels are even, and with the rare exception of when Brett was filming, video was not washed out. (Sorry Brett! - say, how about your recipe for your scones and bread? That would be marvelous! A perk for the patrons perhaps?) Keep doing what you do!

[@robert953]

If your close enough to see a nuclear blast, your boat wouldn't survive.

[@Arnaud58]

Yep, the instance you see it, it's a done deal.👴🤷‍♂

[@geraldhenrickson7472]

If a nuclear blast were 100 miles away on land and its downwind...all is likely good in the short term. As for all creatures on our little marble...the lack of water will be upon us way too soon.

[@simonforbes2453]

Zombies can't swim. But they can windsurf. Fact!

[@ExpeditionEvans]

noted. i wonder if our drone could successfully cut the lines?

[@MrFroglips69]

This is the most original, enlightening and fun episode I have seen on anyone's sailing channel in years. I'm thinking a Nuclear powered submarine for a small family, with a groovy movie theater, with deep sea diving pods when needing to fish for monster size fish that long live below 20,000 leagues beneath the sea. If you could find self generating sea shells that would also work to power for your submarine. Thus far, no one has ever found self generating sea shells except after eating magic mushrooms. Personally I'm building a large house at the bottom of the sea, complete with an octopus' garden. Best of luck with you Apocalypse.

[@PaulRoberts-e9o]

Sorry guys followed you for 2 years, but things aren’t very exciting, but have ❤ most of your stuff

[@Phil-hy8mz]

Love you guys. If the human race is devastated, make sure you two have some kids. Would be nice to have a new world populated by U2.

[@joshbeckett]

I’m glad I’m not the only one at peace about the apocalypse! Congratulations on the Anniversary, as a couple you’re a pleasure to watch. Thank you ❤

[@ExpeditionEvans]

Thank you

[@roberthardy2013]

For keeping others at bay you need a simple upholstery tack. They do say that attack is the best form of defence.

[@danfadden]

With all the fun I’ve had watching your videos over the years, apocalyptic sceneries have always been in the back of my mind. I think you two would do well. I’d rather be in a sailboat instead of a deep bunker somewhere. The possibilities are endless while at sea.

[@michiganengineer8621]

My preference would be for something like Delos 2.0 or an aluminum single hull with twin keels similar to what Odd Life Crafting is building (for beaching, or the oceans going dry). As long as you have surge suppressors on all electrical lines entering the hull, you would be pretty immune to your interior electronics getting fried by an EMP. Jade's last point is a good one, you could get started for less $$$ on a sailboat than you could with a land based compound. As a side note learn and PRACTICE celestial navigation, including the use of a sextant and paper charts!

[@ryanphillips97]

So I discovered you guys and have binged every episode. I am an airline pilot from Annapolis and San Diego. Brett, as a current airline pilot, it's awesome you made the move to do this over that amazing "career" We will be waiting if you decide to return to flying. Jade, you are hilarious and my fav scene was of you trying to jump over the aft life lines and flailing into the water. Lastly, it was so ironic you were having issues with You Tube demonetizing your account due to inappropriate content while their ads during your episode were about meds to keep men hard and lasting all night and it was far more graphic then that. Way to go KZbin. Watching you guys repair your boat was awesome. Keep up the quality posts.

[@benjaminspencer6507]

You 2 crack me up!! 8 years! Congrats! My wife and I have 53 years, will be 54 in JUNE!!

[@lentongrovetrust5201]

Congratulations on your 8th wedding anniversary, cheers to many more.

[@robertfreeman2322]

I think the most relevant thing about bugging out a boat is how much time do you have get ready to do it. If you had like 1 hour to get to your boat and cast your lines it might not be so great. If you had a few days it would be better. It would be a means to get somewhere else faster as the highways would be packed. Let's just hope it's not ever the situation and I think your video was great at pointing out the can and can't of it all. Too funny! 🤣🤣

[@Ucfguy]

I am not being a troll. I promise. Just furthering this fun conversation! I have yet to see any sailing channel where they weren’t needing to do major repairs at least once a year. If there were no suppliers for parts (or Amazon) it feels like boats would just be giant buoys? That being said… I would pick wherever Jade and Brett are. We might be the first to go… but we would be having fun!! Love the channel!!

[@tetraskele9621]

P.S. Good choice of topic. No KZbin cruiser's shows have ever covered this, as far as I know. : )

[@randompharmacist4850]

I love seeing young people actually want to survive an apocalypse. 👽

[@david-j1r9m]

Once, when I was working in the auto parts business I had a friend who wanted me to go in the boat repair business. I said "do boats need a lot of repairs" and he said "you wouldn't believe it." I'm just sayin.....

[@davidmontgomery1016]

For information on building bamboo huts on a deserted island make sure to watch all episodes of "Gilligan's Island." Very informative and filled with great survival skills.

[@ExpeditionEvans]

We better bring Jade's Mom along then.

[@henrymerritt6703]

Haven't finished, so maybe you get to this, but what about medical? When you need a doctor, hospital, pharmacy ... ?

[@linusa2996]

Nope your on your own there.

[@Brian-zi5wr]

If its an apocalypse there are no hospitals.... Those will be zombie havens!!

[@rosscuthbertson2679]

Dolphin assisted water birth lmao. Best light humour of the day!

[@allenshepherd5225]

Dolphin assisted waterbirth? Wow!! Jade is a thinker! Fun episode guys.

[@chrishendricks1079]

They have zero protection vs emps, and zero protection vs fallout clouds. Best bet would be head south, far south.

[@BrandonSchmit]

Yep, New Zealand, Australia, and south pacific islands are going to be radiation free areas of the earth. They are neutral countries and wouldn't be targeted for direct hits.

[@AnthonyJames-ew9nv]

As someone who was in the military and worked specifically in prepping for air and sea Warfare. You will have a lot less than 50% of the water. Also, there will be many more dangers in most of the water.

[@AnthonyJames-ew9nv]

Assuming this world war is with two super powers

[@andreasmeerkamp8627]

Pretty crazy episode. I also would appreciate info about your build project and where to go with the upcoming winter in mind

[@bigalon3wheels]

To survive a world wide catastrophe a sailboat could or could not be a good option. However, you need to keep in mind their will be others out there doing a similar thing. You also need self defense protection from that never ending bad guys that will try to take from you the things they want. It could be a good option to float around but you also need the food and water the rest of the survivors need as well. It could work out, but it would not be as easy as living off the land, though far less chance of the bad guys ganging up on you. Not all people will be bad, but enough of them to make life for the better prepared to be more difficult. Your mechanical items will work only as long as time and function last. However, it is good to give people information on what might be a good option.

[@rak3151]

I appreciate this episode and love your fun approach to everything you do. Thank you for the work Y’all put into this.

[@jashar97]

The humor and smartassery in this video are wonderful 😂

[@jimramm701]

Well, that was fun! Brett, thanks for the correction about 'ex-Marines'! ~ There's NO such thing! Jade, always remember: Once a Marine, Always a Marine! But, Seriously, this was a great, light hearted approach to a serious subject. Always remember - survival battles are won with the mind! It's the one survival tool you always have with you. Make sure you maintain it and keep it sharp! Keep up the great work! Love your vides!

[@linusa2996]

Your best bet on a boat would be in the south pacific. Not anywhere in Europe, America's, the middle east, Africa or Asia.

[@hermes559]

Thank you very much for the information. The book "Hercolubus or Red Planet" by V.M. Rabolú, explains the causes of the proliferation of wars and catastrophes, and gives the keys to save us from the misfortunes that will come. You can read this book in PDF in several languages.

[@ExpeditionEvans]

Interesting

[@BrandonSchmit]

I've heard ciguatera is pretty common in fish around reef areas. You'd need to study up your local "safe" fish if you plan on surviving at sea. Larger oceanic species are usually okay if taken in deep water. Red Snapper are typically bad yet there are some areas like Tonga where it's apparently safe to eat. So surviving on fish around an island is a risky proposition unless you know the local "safe" species. I think mooring off an island would be the best bet for food variety and access to fresh water as others have mentioned, at some point your water maker will crap out.

[@RickJohnson-kb4wr]

Just food for thought…if you see the mushroom, the gamma rays will go through the fiberglass and you! The blast won’t get you but the gamma rays will! 😢 Love your channel! 😁🙌👍

[@gregreppas1952]

The reference to the water will burn, is referring to the natural gas vents that are on the ocean floor, leaking natural gas and reaching the surface, and then eventually reaching a city, where it could find a ignition source, or not necessarily a city, but reaching land, where it could find an ignition source, and that would be a mass explosion the water would burn

[@johnbreen5668]

Not necessarily. Could be something break the water apart. Wouldn't take long for the hydrogen to find an ignition source.

[@flatspin99]

Congrats on your 8th anniversary!!!! That is a milestone.

[@FranklinGray]

I lived for 6 years on a sailboat using only rainwater. It's a lot more dependable then a watermaker.

[@axelw273]

You all are awesome!

[@amyruschaupt1736]

OMG!! You two are soooooo adorable 🥰 🥰 This was such a fun video and I loved all of your scenarios!! I’m a child of the 70’s/80’s and we didn’t have any electronics but it was THE BEST TIME to grow up in❤️We basically lived outside(McLean & GreatFalls,Virginia), and were feral!! We made our own fun and mischief!! Great video🙌😎👍

[@Emb0341]

Thanks for that former marine comment Bret. Good looking out.

[@ChrisBrown-zq7ze]

I don’t know… that new stern cover might be worth stealing. Boat wind in my eye. Way fewer people on twice the surface area. And fish are way more plentiful than land animals. And way more appealing (rats and squirrels don’t do it for me). Awesome episode. I love the lightheartedness, especially considering how close we may actually be to one 😉

[@H2Dwoat]

Hi, read John Ringo’s Black Tide Rising series 😁 zombie apocalypse that a family rides out initially on a yacht and starts to rebuild society from there. As for mushrooms growing on the horizon I think fibreglass is fairly transparent to radiation 🤓. Just looking back to the COVID times, TP, TP, TP… not a lot of space on a boat.

[@rak3151]

“Dolphin assisted water birth”…BWAAAAAA HAAAAA HAAAA HAAAAA! OMG! OMG! Pure awesomeness!!!!! OMG😂

[@phildavis3105]

There is that whole impact thing with nuclear winter on the entire food chain and diminished solar cell output.

[@tezdejesus8384]

Okay, it may be silly, but it was fun. My husband and I were those hippies in the 70's who sold our house and went off in an Allied 39 to escape the masses. (By the way, the house was about 10 miles from the White House and less from the Pentagon. BIG mushroom cloud.) We never considered the zombie nor EMT scenario, but the idea of war loomed. We did exactly as you talk about: we caught water; we had a community that helped in so many ways; and we were well aware that we were always at home, and she would take care of us. We speared fish but vegetables were hard to come by. No computer aboard until this century, and it was for periphery things. Although the first time using a chart plotter on the first tablet and it put us exactly where we wanted - in the dark - we were sold on new technology. [Surprisingly, my husband's job was in the early computers, when they filled a room and were fed paper cards.] Your subject is relevant today and will be tomorrow. For myself, I worry about the emt, the nuclear, and hoping those old punch cards don't add to the trash in the oceans.

[@ExpeditionEvans]

That's a great perspective!

[@craig1lengyel]

What in your marriage changed after your 7th anniversary? Interesting vlog. Be nice to see the arch done and you both sailing.

[@CDio1]

By definition, an apocalypse would wipe everything off the board. What you’re inferring is a mass extinction event.( Nuclear war would qualify) Great video though. Well thought out 😅

[@tetraskele9621]

FYI, aside from the hypothetical 1,000' + heights (no one survives these), most tsunamis pass through the deeper ocean areas only a foot or two feet of height. Comet impacts in the ocean are a different issues, and even in such a case the initial height of the impact splash, as tall as it might be, will rapidly be attenuated over distance. Additionally, A huge percentage of the world's populations are located in the deltas of rivers and along the coasts of the world's continents (and islands). I am a serious student of impact-related scenarios, and produced a show on this, after interviewing some of the most brilliant scientists in the field, THIS is my 'take-away." Hence, when it comes to most tsunamis, OFFSHORE (deep water, especially beyond continental shelves) cruisers are among the safest people in such a scenario. You might want to correct comments to the contrary? : )

[@stephenduncan4380]

Silly and enjoyable.😎👍😊

[@kevinh891]

There is a guy on YT that sailed around Africa with his wife for years. He did some videos on how to "harden" a sailboat. Specifically to repel boarders and prevent break ins at anchor. He detailed motion alarms on the deck. Had custom hatches and doors installed that were stainless steel. And he had clever ways to carry firearms on board and avoid detection. But keep in mind. Sailboats are slower than every other craft. So you will never outrun pirates. And sails can be seen very far off...

[@zerodayknowledge]

Navy ships have a system to wash the decks off with seawater so radioactive fallout doesn't linger on the decks emitting radiation into the crew compartments.

[@ExpeditionEvans]

Smart!

[@Beachwriter]

You, too, tell a funny story. That story was better than AI.

[@caseywagnor404]

LOL at “dolphin-assisted water birth.”

[@walterlundby3286]

Skeeters... Skeeters are interesting... There is a long expired Johnson Wax patent of a friend's dad (who also invented DEET and OFF) and did lots of research on how it works. What DEET does is cause a resonance in their little brains that is like an epileptic fit in the skeeters and they fall to the ground (not hurt). So he experimented with all sorts of stimulus to the skeeters brain. Just about anything works but it bothers people or dogs or something... but near IR doesn't bother people. So, if you covered your boat with Christmas Tree LED light chains with the visible LEDs replaced with near IR ones like in you TV remote and drove the LED chain off of a variable frequency power you could drop all the skeeters right out of the sky around your boat. They tested it in the Minnesota Boundary Waters. The frequency for each species of skeeter is different usually between 550Hz to 1500Hz with more of a dark than light cycle. So, you could have a narrow on pulse and just vary the off time so the full cycle varies in frequency. In the boundary water they were both muskie fishers so caught their limit every time they turned it on in their canoe. The skeeters fell and the fish started feasting... It would really improve your fishing. One could well imagine the rim or top deck of a boat having IR LEDs embedded in it.

[@rboston33]

Truly a different epsode

[@cuznjo1]

i watched your whole video. INTERESTING about being on a boat during a attack. they say the most dangerous location to be in, is 50 miles from a nuclear explosion. i am guessing that even outside of that area, you could still have problems. now as far as boats go. i would think a duel hull or a tri hull boat, would be more stable than a single hull boat. there is so much that can be said, but i will drop it now

[@Kelly-er8cg]

I loved this! We absolutely would want to be on our boat! And we are totally in for the compound community. Thank you for making us laugh!

[@jimgarvin9159]

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY. 8yrs Awesome. ❤😊❤😊. Speaking of Rain Catch when do think or Know the Dodger be done??? Also back on the water.

[@GaryEichler]

Once a Marine, always a Marine

[@andrewsimpson7332]

I literally got a test notification for our provinces Emergency Alert system while watching this.

[@ExpeditionEvans]

Oh jeez!

[@israfelmarkpafford8049]

War zones is a real time issue for sure if you consider cruising in the south and eastern Mediterranean. Loss of satellites, meaning loss of electronic navigation; Pirates again a real time issue. How about rogue waves or any manner of environmental disasters that might devastate marine life where you are sailing thus limiting your food supply. Interesting stuff to consider for sure….

[@walterlundby3286]

EMP - one thing I am not sure about is your carbon fiber epoxy. It might shield a bit. If it does... grounding it would be needed. If the whole boat was carbon fiber you could EMP the whole boat depending on the type of EMP. If it's a microwave EMP bomb.. not likely as the microwaves will get through small holes. If it's EMP from a nuke bomb on the edge of the atmosphere or a pulse from the sun or elsewhere in space...that is long wave pulse. Then a carbon fiber boat would protect you. Actually a carbon fiber boat should be like being in a Faraday cage. The bad part of that is with normal usage. It would make it tough for cellular and wifi from outside the boat. A Faraday cage type boat would protect you inside from lightening but wires going in and out are a problem. If you had time to move your solar cells inside your boat you could protect them. Circuit breakers work well with EMP. NPN type transistors or PNP are mid-survivor but CMOS or MOS is a NO unless shielded. (Gold foil best but aluminum foil would work in a quick need)

[@JagLite]

Funny video! Thanks for the laughs. I think you are correct, keep your boat ready to go at all times. Just to leave a dangerous area. If things all fall apart there will be a lot of people on boats trying to survive and it will be the "strong" (pirates) who take from the week (the rest of us) to survive. They will not be alone, they will have many people, large boats that they killed the owners of and took, and they will be heavily armed. Of course things will be the same on land so...

[@linusa2996]

Re biblical apocalypse, the land based compound would be under water and everyone drowns.

[@joeanco1993]

If it was that easy. You'll need to learn to navigate without all your electronic toys. The people who own the internet, gps, etc, own the nukes. As fare as food, diesel, etc, that do supplies the islands are the same warmongering. Then, you will have to worry about piracy on the open seas. You can live on your boat until things start breaking down, like your solar panels or the membranes in your water maker, your sails, ropes, and any parts are made of plastic. What are you going to do if you need to pull your boat out of the water to fix or reseal it. Think of it this way: you're living on a floating island that can and will sooner or later will sink!

[@johnbreen5668]

Your assuming the people that own all that what to go back to caveman days. The Sun going nova got a better chance of happening.

[@FranklinGray]

keep in mind that most islands have way too many people on them that the land can support. About the only Islands I know of that can totally sustain themselves is Tonga. Most of the land can be farmed and they do a lot of farming. Even Islands like the Philippines import a lot of their food and I doubt they can sustain themselves. The smaller volcanic Islands definitely can't sustain themselves.

[@badcat4707]

You guys are always such a Happy channel 😸 if I want doom and gloom I only need to read the daily news 😿 😾

[@runningthrurain]

So much to think about. Great.

[@johnbreen5668]

Depends on the disaster. At the rate boats fall apart. They are not for the long term. If the crust moves or a wave pushes you ashore or 3 miles inland boats will do you more harm then good. Zombies could just walk to your island garden.

[@danielberman2773]

here the important question: would flipper stay flipper or will he turn zombie?

[@GavinJohnston-z9z]

It looked a really interesting video, unfortunately I hardly understood what you guys where talking about. I rely on subtitles as my hearing is very bad. I really enjoy your video😊

[@RandomPrecisionMotors]

Hey it would probably pay off in the long-run to maybe store vital electronics in an old Lead-lined Fridge in the event of an EMP, or some kind of Faraday Cage...and in a Global Exchange a boat may buy you a little time...if you were like in the middle of the Southern Ocean when it happened...no targets down there...edit: and don't get me wrong, I don't dwell on that sort of thing, but it's worth being aware of at least...

[@delaray7]

Very much enjoyed your chat. Keep positive cos half this scaremonger crap isn't going to happen any time soon. Enjoy who you are and what you do. These negative ninnies are just jealous of you. Look after our Jade, that is most important, the rest will follow. Hang in there Brett.

[@cncmilitaryemblems]

That last question sounds like something you could collaborate with Jake and Nicole on.

[@udrtydog1]

Every one of those lithium batteries have a "board" on/in them! Just saying.. lead acid would be better for an Armageddon type event..

[@ssvlaunch]

Do you have a Faraday cage large enough for your cameras and starlink so we can continue to see how you survive the emp apocalypse. Wouldn’t want to lose touch!

[@mmacas7411]

Just returned from the Azores and your mural in Horta is still going strong ❤

[@douglassmith7034]

Hey guys...all you really need to do is go to Komorebi and hunker down with Jake and Nicolle and their 3 kids again. What say...eh? Like you did before. I had a great time watching you two with them (my other most-favorite You Tubbers). So though you have nothing to steal it just means your plans are all super relevant and if not you can just fly away anyway with pilot Brett. Maybe to their latest bug-out spot in the tropics to hug those darling little twin girls and Foxy-Fox. Have fuuun...

[@dougmart4305]

Being on a boat is NOT a option ! Ya don't know what you don't know...

[@TheJenna52]

Funny thing about this vid. I always thought for apocalypse survival a boat was a great escape plan. And run away was my first choice from pirates ect.

[@Pierobon]

Fish+Lasagna sounds yummy! Should I call it Fishagna? Fisagna? I wonder if Jade´s Fisagna new recipe will taste as good as her Pizza recipe, from another episode! =9 You ask what we think... I think we all think we know who we are, until we are faced with situations and decisions we never seen before. Airplane pilots have a better than average idea, scenarios that were never created in a simulator or in real live (CACTUS 1549, AF447, or so many others) split-second decisions that may doom or bless you and many others together on board. Knowing that you are a group, and every individual's decision is as good or bad to yourself as well as much as to every other group individuals. If one is sad, the others might not necessarily become sad as well, but will at least have to work more, to fill in the gaps, or something. Personally, I have thought once or twice in my life if I would take a bullet for someone else. And although I have the will, right now, in the safety and comfort of my family's home, I could never be 100% sure if I would be fast enough, would such a trial ever present itself. Also, it´s a huge battle of logics - either you take the bullet to save someone you care, become instantly the bravest and cowardest one for sacrificing your own life and sparring yourself from living such a difficult/sad/lonely... or, you hide yourself and let the problem at hand take away your loved ones from you, becoming instantly the cowardest for not taking the bullet and strongest for enduring such a difficult/sad/lonely aftermath. Maybe this is what they meant when they wrote "between the cross and the sword"? Either way, it´s so easy to enter a flat-spin downwards, and loose your holds very fast. But hey, don´t worry so much! "Random chance seems to have operated in our favor," cuz (at least for now) we have internet and we can get so much better help whenever we want! I´ll leave it up to every one of you reading the comment, to find all the homages and puns... ; )

[@kb3byu]

An EMP would fry all of your fancy electronics leaving you with celestial navigation and lodestones

[@B0M0A0K]

OK, so that was different. What's got you two worried about this sort of thing?

[@linusa2996]

Well if you pay attention to the right wing in the US it's because Biden is not letting the Russians win and gave the Ukrainians authorization to use US supplied weapons to attack targets inside Russia.

[@B0M0A0K]

Actually, I don't have much doubt that you two would survive as you have learnt to be self sufficient. Your greatest enemy would be illness.
