Survival
The near future . There is a special category of people (almost a subculture) that are prepared for the end of the world - the so -called survivors. They are sure that in the near future something terrible will happen: the World Flood, Nuclear War, Pandemia, an invasion of aliens. But if you prepare properly, it is really possible to survive the global catastrophe. And then, when it is more or less, from the remnants of mankind-to make a marvelous new civilization.
On the wreckage of our world, survivors threaten to build their own civilization.

The most popular version of the end of the world is a worldwide flood, but there are a lot of alternative. Esoterics believe that in the area of 2012 a great transition will take place: after a series of global disasters, humanity will reach a new step - it will be reborn into superhumanism. Technogenic scenarios are provided for materialists (for example, nuclear disaster) and geophysical (due to global warming, the expansion of the earth's crust near Antarctica will expand, cold water will pour into the hot magma, and the whole world will envelop a poisonous cloud of smoke). There is even an option for ufologists - the myth of the deadly planet Nibiru, who supposedly flies to the ground every 3600 years, and the next “turnout” is no longer around the corner.
But specifically on December 21, 2012 you should not be afraid: all these stories about the Mayan calendar are for proofans. The true survivor understands: the world is too difficult to collapse overnight. Catastrophe factors will accumulate gradually. Some believe that the process has been launched almost since 1945 and the peak of global disasters will have to do not at all in 2012, but for 2013 or much later. And the term "apocalypse" for competent survivors is not in honor. Instead, the abbreviation of the PSU is used on thematic Internet forums. The interpretation of free - from “big changes” to the “big fucker”.
In America, a whole business is held in the paranoid moods of the Beschniks. Large and not very companies are ready to provide any their own bunker with all amenities. By the way, after the troubles at the Japanese Fukushima, sales of such companies in the United States have grown sharply. During the Cold War, scared by nuclear disasters, the Americans decided to use the shelters massively.
Domestic survivors have to do everything themselves. And there are several tactics of survival.
Sofa
No one wants to survive alone.

The administrator of the site " SUCCOUNT " Andrei came to the survivors of esoterics (in principle, he is close to the theory of the "Great Transition"). At some stage of spiritual searches, he realized: it is necessary to take care not only about the soul, but also to the mortal body. And in order to chat with experienced people and gain practical knowledge from them, he built a site.
Andrei does not take active actions and attributes himself to the survivors “sofa”, which is a little shy: “I pay more attention to theory than practice. Basically - reading, familiarization, analyst, at times discussing issues with other interested. In order to at least somehow rehabilitate before my conscience, I have a modest home-made name (wearable autonomous reserve), in the summer I try to cut out the time, go to the training ground and play strikbol. All the little things. "
In addition to the “little things”, Andrei also occupies psychological preparation for the BP: “For a successful solution to the issue, you need to measure a hundred times, cut it off once: that is, prepare the mind and brain for the possibility of an event such as PSU, conduct psychological configuration, or something. To imagine that bam, in the morning I woke up and the BP came, and we must think quickly and clearly, otherwise the end. ” In case of the BP itself, Andrei has no intelligible plan - it will act according to circumstances.
There are a majority who love the “sofa” survivors. They discuss in detail the methods of building shelters in case of BP and the safest place on the planet. They make up the manuals of the survivor with the rules for the provision of first aid. Give each other tips on configuration of NA. Compare the performance characteristics of vehicles in case of war. And, it seems, they sincerely rejoice in life on the eve of apocalyptic adventures. All of them simply do not have enough adrenaline, according to the survivor Alexander from Zaporozhye.
Prudent
According to one of the hypotheses after the PSU, people will rebell in the superman. The propagation mechanism of the latter is unclear.

Alexander himself from Zaporozhye cannot sit back. Seven years ago, he understood: something goes wrong, the climate changed dramatically. He became interested and convinced - the world on the verge of disaster. The decisive moment came for Alexander in 2010, when the weather began to behave completely ugly: “All these adventures with the weather, geological faults, earthquakes began. Even if you look at what is happening in Europe: at first it flooded for six months, and then dried for six months. Well, Russia, and Ukraine is the same. There is no balance, or something. ” And since there is no balance, it means that you need to act.
Alexander walked around sites and forums, gathered a team of nine like -minded people in Zaporozhye. Together, they began to prepare for the worst: to stock up on necessary for survival and even conduct practical exercises. “We have already chosen three times for fees - including in the mountains, once even for ten days. They built a house from Saman [from straw and dry soil], ”says Alexander.
If something out of the ordinary happens (and Alexander and his team believe in a series of strong natural disasters-from the flood to the eruption of the volcano or the strongest earthquake), then the combat group, grabbing their names, gets into the car and begins to move to the place of gathering outside the city, which is at a fairly high altitude. From there, she begins to move to one of the planned shelters (as an option - Alexander’s house in the Carpathians). Already there, having waited for some time, they will try to get in touch with other survivors. The benefit of such combat detachments in the post -Soviet space, according to Alexander, is a lot: “The closest from us is in Melitopol, but we have not yet established a connection with them. There is in Moscow and in Khabarovsk. And much more where. "
In addition to preventive measures, survivors-practitioners are actively developing skills that can be useful after the fall of civilization-they learn to sow, weed, hammer, weave, work with wood and stone. They comprehend all these sciences either on their own or in special courses.
Loners
Well, at this time, neither I nor you will have to live terrible.

Sasha does not have a storm detachment from Perm - he does not believe at all “theoretical layouts of morons from the forums” and in the case of BP will save only himself and his wife. The big fan of Fallout, Half-Life and-later-Stalker, he realized that he had to learn to survive in the world after a nuclear disaster. I looked at the bunker from the abandoned Soviet ones, figured out how many food supplies would be needed for 20 years and even began to experimentally check the storage periods of products: “I bought five liters of water in the stall, scored another five from under the tap. Closed and set. A month later I tried one and the other. It is unrealistic to drink tapenger - it will go out. These are the experiments I am leading. I know that Lyubatovo cookies easily in the heat of about 30 degrees will lie for six months. And then you will open - but it is like fresh. I don’t know about the stew, I have not kept yet. In principle, you can store or not, I will find out in the summer when I will reveal the porridge. ”
Sasha does not disclose the location of his bunker and does not share detailed plans: like many survivors, he is afraid of competitors in the post -apocalyptic world. But in general, asylum in the forest, according to Sasha, is not the best option. In a situation of emergency, Alexander argues, “it is best to capture a small supermarket like Vivat from the circus.” Because “there is everything, there are supplies !!!! Food, water, cosmetics, alcohol, probably a generator. ” In general, as soon as it rushes - you need to dart into Vivat, capture and hold.
In principle, Sasha is ready to live for some time, if necessary, barricaded in his own house. On those reserves that are available for this case, he and his wife can last ten days.
Wives for survivors are a special question. It is noteworthy that mostly salvation after a global catastrophe are preoccupied with men. Women among the survivors also come across, but much less. And often on the forums, male survivors are sincerely interested in: how, in which case, to be with their weak and unprepared halves. The forums are advised to accustom wives to extreme conditions: “It is worth it to take it a couple of times as a camp. If the wife does not withstand, it is better to start educating her in advance. ” Well, or just think about whether such a wife is needed on the eve of a full BP.
Impatient
A special group is formed by those who are not ready to humbly wait until the reservoir closest from them leaves the shores and flood everything that is expensive for them. They are already moving into safe places now: they redeem areas and begin to build their farm, which is not dependent on modern civilization. The list of “safe places” for survivors has long been approved: special, based on the prophecies of the card. For some reason, Mountain Altai is especially popular.
It is there that Elena and her husband, businessmen from Omsk, want to move there. They constantly “monitor seismicactivity on many specialized sites” and conclusions make disappointing ones: “The negative events that have been happening recently with the failures of the soil, the death of the fauna (poultry, fish, bees, and so on), the change in the magnetic pole of the Earth by more than five hundred percent and much more confirm certain changes in a negative nature. And against the background of all these events and forecasts of specialists, it is difficult not to take into account the predictions of Mayan, Casey and others respected sources, although we treat them with a reasonable share of skepticism. ”
Having seen enough films like “Unstensed War”, “George Malinetsky: a report on the situation of Russia and its future” and “Pandemia of Lies”, “Russia from the Hammer”, Elena and her husband were convinced - there is also a human, or rather political, factor in the BP: “Against the backdrop of the alleged natural cataclysms, the powerful of this world are afraid to lose power over the irreparable masses of distraught from tragedy people. To continue to control the situation, they need to reduce the population to an optimal minimum. ”
Elena and her husband did not wait until the global genocide begins - they began to withdraw the money invested in the business and at the same time looked at the place in the Altai - Belokurikha. They do not want to break away from humanity even by the benefits of civilization, so far there is still an opportunity, will be used. However, in the event of disasters, the place was chosen according to all the rules of survival: far from the main roads (so as not to fall the victim of a frightened BP population) and high - to protect against floods.
The case of Elena and her husband is not the most radical. Among the survivors there are legends about people who fled to Siberian forests, about those who build underground shelters alone. All these mysterious, outside the party, the heroes are already leading their natural economy in deserted areas and are waiting for the end of the world, after which it will be possible to build a new world - without money, computers and the president.
