How are my fellow Americans preparing for the upcoming apocalypse? (infosec.pub)

I've got quite a lot of rice and beans saved up, and some canned goods and I'm a mechanic by trade, 2nd least likely to die in an Apocalypse scenario, 1st being Doctors, of course.

I'm rural and have running water just a short walk from the property if the well stops pumping and I've got an old revolver with a few rounds in case I feel like checking-out early.

You guys?

Not preparing at all, just living my life like normal. When things get really bad here I'll sell my car and move to Europe with my girlfriend (I have dual citizenship and can sponsor her).

How many planes will fly to Europe when things get really bad, to bring home everybody with dual citizenship and their loved ones?

Probably a lot more than you'd think. Especially if you take indirect flights. Especially given the large borders, getting put won't be especially hard

Good question, but we pay close attention to the news and hopefully we'll get out before that's a problem. If we're unable to leave the country then I guess I'd contact the Swedish embassy to see if they can help.
