I read a lot more here than I post. Until recently I hadn't experienced any thing that could be considered "survival" but then I was staying with friends in Birmingham (UK) when the Tornado hit taking half the house down. People there are still suffering and life won't be back to "normal" for a long while yet. As natural disasters increase over here people will have to support them selves for extended periods as the authorities over here are just not prepared for such. A section with advice and information on longer term survival would be very interesting.
