We need to reduce the population not wipe it out.
‘With a massive Nuclear War it wouldn’t kill everyone - the preppers and hunters will survive.
City Slickers haven’t got a hope - they think Milk, Meat and Vegitable magically appear on supermarket shelves.
I would struggle myself these days - but if i was able to find a gun and ammunition i think i could do ok.
In Britain a few years ago they ran a test/study to see how long it would take for social order to break down if the food supply was cut.
The result was 4 days till lawlessness.
As for using firearms to survive, you need to stick with a common calibre so ammo is easier to source, and that varies from country to country.
So in Oz if using civilian firearms you're best sticking with .22, .243 and 12guage
If using a military or paramilitary weapon you best stick with .223 aka 5.56mm
in many other parts of the world where AK variants are common you'd stick with 7.62X39mm aka Ruski .308 (which the Chinese use in their 'Type10/SKS).
When the ammo runs out you'd be best with a compound bow, because while it takes time you can make your own arrows.
Of course the most useful tool of all is a large knife.
And it'd be worthwhile having binoculars or a field telescope in your kit too.
But the most important item to have is a water bottle.
If Donald Trump is so close to the Ruskis, why couldn't he get Vladimir Putin to put novichok in Xi Jjinping's lipstick?
