I have been following a website http://www.generationaldynamics.com/ww2010.htm
which seems to point towards a couple of very nasty possible outcomes.
As most of us are preparing for a variety of unknown cases;natural and man made, knowing the range of possible outcomes is quite useful.
It would be interesting to seem how many forum members consider the most probable "class" of survival event;
1) unexpected isolation in wilderness.
2) Natural disaster (Earth Quake,Hurricane etc).
3) Biological (non-terrorist,pandemic)
4) Energy related or economic breakdown.
5) War or Terrorist Act.

I personally can't seem to narrow it down, they all seem equally likely.

1) Energy related or economic breakdown.

I have been doing a lot of research on Peak oil. Here in the states I cant imagine we would do real well if/when oil hits $200 a barrel.

I am not so concerned. Once again, I have to point out we are not in an energy crisis, only an economic one. If peak oil disappeared, there would still be plenty of competitive options at our disposal right now that we could utilize. It might set back individuals for the initial costs of conversion, but the "bump" is relatively small.

I am more worried about either a natural pandemic, or a dirty WMD event. Once unleashed there is little that can be done to stop it from spreading and it would be devastating.
