Necessary equp't for survival scenario

[Brain]

in adition to the civil engineer that bucc mentioned, you would also want a mech. eng. as well. someone is going to need to figure out how to adapt the current technology that you would posess into somethingthat you need. besides, if worse comes to worse, the ME could simply play mechanic

oh yes, and you would want a former boyscout as well. you would be very suprised at the number of people who cant make a fire with out half a book of matches and a gallon of gas

What about somethin like Athens had only on a smaller scale. like 6 representatives, and many issues decided by an open debate. You need some sort of detainment area fro those that go against the laws constructed. You need seperate people to find water not just farmers. People that manage water distribution. Cossak what good is an electrician without electricity? Ya need a way to make power. Macman you wouldnt need a copy of a different constitution, you make one according to your needs and the needs of those under you.

Bah I forgot about that. Well maybe this electrician can make a small powerplant.  After all, outside our valley there will be plenty of boies to burn.

i call bill gates' house, oh and we would need a astrailian to make gr.

Weapons, lots of weapons. All kinds, rifles, pistols, machine guns, whatever can be found. And LOTS of ammo. And a way to build more weapons and ammo. You need to protect your group from the roving bands of marauders that will no doubt result after a world wide catastrope.

You will also need water purification equipment, ways to grow food too. I would also recommend moving the group to rural North Dakota, there are minute-man missle silos there that are designed to be self-suffcient in case of nuclear war. It's also in the middle of fuck-nowhere and you're not likely to be bothered. Also it's close to the red river valley of the north which has the richest and most productive soil anywhere in the world (it's at the bottom of what used to be glacial lake aggassi).

North Dakota is also one of the most windy places on earth making wind power a very real possibility. Also, if you have electricity you can produce hydrogen, which you can burn like gasoline (which will surely be hard to get ahold of).

Anyway, that's what I would do.

Lots of guns will result in power struggles and inner corruption. In my opinion just pick natural defenses, like a valey or river protecting you with a barricade or something like that. North Dakota the middle of no where? If its a world wide catastrophe everywhere will be the middle of no where. A water purification device i wouldn't put on the top of my list I would just have my water boiled to kill all bacteria.
