Your Doomsday Strategy; Heaven Forbid But What If?

Iran has gone ballistic, North Korea has gone nuclear.

The USA is being driven by an egomaniac.

With no idea if, when or where the missiles will hit, is there anything which is 100% nutter proof?

Bitcoin? OK unless there is a cyber attack or a breakdown of the net caused by an EMP or aforementioned nuclear missile attack. Electronic currency needs electricty (they really didn't think that one through did they).

Houses? OK if your house isn’t hit by one of the chosen ones missiles.

Gold? If you manage to avoid the bombs and find yourself in the middle of the bush with nothing to eat, you can’t eat gold. (But, you never bought gold to eat anyway and if you did buy gold, you probably have a few other tricks up your sleeve).

Baked Beans? Good choice. You can eat baked beans whilst everyone around you starves to death. 500 grams of baked beans weighs around 600 grams when you include the tin and the label and will keep you alive for a day a can. You can live for a month by carrying 19kgs of baked beans around on your back.

My own strategy? A weeks worth of baked beans to feed on while the world goes through a week long shitstorm. A lump of very rare metal to barter with when the world gets back on its feet after a year or two.

Anyone else got an end of the world strategy they'd like to share?

Would put you in a 50/50 situation against someone who wants what you have.

But what do you have?

You need more food than that Jimbo.

You've got to keep your head down for a month while the vast majority try to make for farms in the country, but then prey upon each other.

Most won't make it 20km.

If there is a nuclear exchange, you definitely need to stay undercover for a month.

If you can keep away from fallout that long, you can survive a very long life amongst the radiation that remains after you emerge.

In a post apocalyptic world sodium nitrite will be worth more than gold.

Other preservatives such as sugar, vinegar, salt etc will also be valuable and highly tradable.

If it gets that bad, I'll be checking out with a bit too much Golden Brown.

LOL I always said you were a prepper nutjob

What you need if the world goes to shit is ALLIES. The rest can be acquired from dummies like jimbo and golly as you slowly pick them off. Dragon has the right idea, he'd be a likely ally.

The most successful strategy is going to be building a large alliance prior to taking any kind of permanent base, but when you do that base needs water. A fresh water/sea interface would be best.

After we eat the perishables, then useless pets like untrained cats and dogs, your type becomes the next course.

Allies. You need something to offer. Parasitism is not something you can trade in life or death scenarios.

Yum yum.
I can think of a dozen ways to enjoy you.

Maybe even as prosciutto.

Intelligence is going to be in far higher demand, once you've been plundered a few times you won't have anything to offer, but my genius will continue to provide for my allies.

Australian Property Forum is an economics and finance forum dedicated to discussion of Australian and global real estate markets and macroeconomics, including house prices, housing affordability, and the likelihood of a property crash. Is there an Australian housing bubble? Will house prices crash, boom or stagnate? Is the Australian property market a pyramid scheme or Ponzi scheme? Can house prices really rise forever? These are the questions we address on Australian Property Forum, the premier real estate site for property bears, bulls, investors, and speculators. Members may also discuss matters related to finance, modern monetary theory (MMT), debt deflation, cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin Ethereum and Ripple, property investing, landlords, tenants, debt consolidation, reverse home equity loans, the housing shortage, negative gearing, capital gains tax, land tax and macro prudential regulation.

Forum Rules: The main forum may be used to discuss property, politics, economics and finance, precious metals, crypto currency, debt management, generational divides, climate change, sustainability, alternative energy, environmental topics, human rights or social justice issues, and other topics on a case by case basis. Topics unsuitable for the main forum may be discussed in the lounge.

No spamming or advertising in the main forum. Spamming includes repeating the same message over and over again within a short period of time. Don't post ALL CAPS thread titles. The Advertising and Promotion Subforum may be used to promote your Australian property related business or service. Active members of the forum who contribute regularly to main forum discussions may also include a link to their product or service in their signature block.
