Scenario: All over by dawn.

[Barrabas]

Here's the scenario:

You've gone camping on a Friday night in a familiar place, just yourself..you brought plenty of food & drinks, and all the gear you would need/want to use or play with.
It's a clear fall evening, but you have shelter if you want it, and there is no real presence of predators where you are..so basically you're fed, safe & the fire is going strong.
You turn on your radio to enjoy some tunes, and there's an emergency message..basically saying the nukes are inbound, and you're in the impact zone.
The good news is, you're really glad the rest of the family had gone out of state that morning for a wedding (you couldn't go because of work), and that you talked to them and told them you loved them before you lost cell service (and before you found out). By what you heard on the radio, they are out of harms way.
The bad news is, you have an undeniable, and irrefutable understanding within yourself that it's going to be over before dawn..you can't run, because there's nowhere to run from where you are.

So, it's just you, the woods, and what time you have left, and there's nothing you can do about it.
What would you spend your last hours doing?

Btw..you wanted to detox this weekend, so you left all the party favors behind..you'll be stone sober till' the end.

Well if I didn't have a few bottles of Steel Reserve High Gravity Steel 211 8.3% with me, I'd search for the nearest mind altering plant nearby and kiss my ass good bye.

 

[not2sharp]

I would select a nice high scenic location where I can view the fireworks in comfort, and where I would most likely be instantaneously vaporized.

[NightMare Silverado]

Drink some whiskey and take a nap.

 

[KuRUpTD]

I'd try like heck to finally get that bowdrill ember that's been kickin' my butt

 

[RescueRiley]

I'd stick a razor sharp mora in the air and cut the nuke in half before it could detonate......

john 1...Nuke 0

 

[CapitalizedLiving]

I'd do whatever I was doing before I turned on the radio.

 

[baldtaco-II]

Pondering at the irony of how they missed Bradford.

 

[sicily02]

Sit back and watch them come in no big deal, Make sure my camp is set up for the night. As soon as my fire is going i would be having a cup of coco or hot cider.

You know I have been really working out this year. I think I am just tough enough to survive this Since I practice survival skills I know I am

No offense, but I fail to see the relevance of the scenario. In less than an hour you're going to be camped in the middle of a furnace. What possible difference does it make what you do? How exactly is the last thirty-five minutes of your life worth any more than the thirty-five you spent before reading this, and what possible benefit is there in pondering such an unrealistic and unsurvivable scenario? Why not ponder what you'll think about in the fifty seconds it takes a person pinned under water to drown? Sorry if I sound sarcastic, but really, what's the point?

You can tell alot about a person by how they face dying.

We've already detonated well more than two thousand nukes and life goes on. I believe I would turn in early and watch for falling stars.

 

[imaginefj]

I'm not sure why they would be nuking the middle of no where. But, I would pray.

 

[Translash]

I'd sit in a place with a great scenic view and recollect all the best memories from childhood to present.

 

[Over Kill]

I wouls survive. Some how, some way or die trying.

 

[stewey1]

what would I spend my last hours doing? shit Im fit I reckon I could cover a lot of ground in a few hours? but if If running aint an option I would carry on with my night

 

[RWT]

I would find Cher. She would know what to do. Either that or learn to speak cockroach. My understanding is they are most certain to survive.

 

[pitdog]

I'm on my own....where the heck are my dogs ?????

What a depressing scenario, how would I spend my final hours......no woman......no alcohol.......do I have that magazine with Pamela Anderson in from under my bed ?

 

[Barrabas]

Yeah guys, about as depressing a scenario as I could think of..I know it's a weird thread, but what drove me to ask was we spend so much time here talking about how to survive, that
I was really curious to see your perspectives if all our tricks were no longer of any use.

One day, we'll have our last day, for some of us that's sooner than later.. I hope that with all of our prep to survive this life (and whatever curves it throws at us), that we don't forget that facing Eternity, and the God who made us, is just a heartbeat away.

You can tell alot about a person by how they face dying.

Pitt..sorry, forgot about your dogs, of course they are with you!!

 

[Bufford]

In a scenario like that, there wouldn't be much to do other than drink, sit back and enjoy the fireworks since it was the taxes I paid that went into them, and have no control over how it was spent and where they will detonate. It will boil down to luck whether I'm home, or on this camping trip when SHTF.
