I thought I'd post this, it may seem silly to some people but here goes:
The changes which have been spoken of and UNDER-estimated because people have not been in those particular global sectors are gradually escalating, the Tsunami in South East Asia in 2005, New Orleans, Japan and even the current tornado which hit the Philipines, current economic meltdown are all SMALL warnings of what is coming.
A simple recommendation is to get a back-pack together / rucksack, add warm clothing, good walking boots, torch and spare batteries, simple light foods, knife, rope/string, matches, fire-starters, water, bandages, small light weight tent, (chocolate) and other basic essentials.
As things gradually heighten, you may find that a simple idea like this could easily save your butt.
Peace and good thoughts always

Good suggestion Tony, me and mine have our individual packs ready to take out the door, we have done since 23 Feb. Only problem that I am having here in Christchurch is where to go lol, as you know we are an island, a small island and from all the reports that I have read on this and other websites about the world changes, New Zealand falls into the sea :-o. However if anything does happen and we do have to leave the coast fast, we are prepared and will be heading for the Southern Alps and hoping like heck that the Alpine Fault doesn't blow :-)
Thing is.. one thing to survive for a little while, but you better know what plants you are able to eat.
Koa Windsong has been teaching people how to live in the bush, for years now as he has been saying the economy is going to collapse. If you live in Australia, you can google him on facebook and make contact with him to find out his courses.
Also google him on YouTube and listen to what he has to say.
This is a wonderful suggestion. I was an avid camper before I took ill and loved to go off the beaten path and just be away living simply sometimes. When I first moved to Florida my roommate and I used to pack up a pup tent, pack up some basic food and beverage and survival stuff and camp out under the stars where ever we could find a place to set ourself up and just stay a couple of days totally roughing it. It was wonderful and so humbling to get away from all the trappings of civilization and so grounding to get back in touch with the earth.
My suggestions to those that heed the call and do set out camping is to NOT set up your tent on an ant hill however, as one time we found out, now that was an experience with nature I just had soon skipped. Never set up your tent in the semidarkness, you jkust never know what is under you and may find out too soon that where you are is not a good idea as we found out in the middle of the night when we woke up covered with crawling ants...they can come through zippers we found out. Persistent little buggers and hunger too.
The Florida furry red crazy ants are just vicious....and do not like to have their home invaded....and be sure you have good misquito netting and some skin so soft to repel them from your body....
