Serial Prompt: Part Two - The Apocalypse

The September 30, 2013 prompt for "30-Day Blogging Challenge ON HIATUS"  is
Serial Prompt! Part Two: It's the apocalypse! On the first day (yesterday) tell us about how you predict the world will end (aliens, mass flooding, nuclear war, etc) and what both your initial reaction and the initial reaction of the governments of the world would be. On the second day (today) give us a run-down of how you plan to survive the apocalypse for the long term. "Must Have" lists, "To Do" lists, etc. Where will you take refuge? Have fun with this.

My Must Have Apocalypse Survival List

My Prayer Book
A Solar Oven
My Medication
Friends & Family

I am not sure I would survive the apocalypse, at least not if I were by myself. I know I could not survive without my medication. I do not think I could survive by myself and I am not sure I would want to survive alone. I need human interaction. I need to feel the huge of a friend or family member to help me keep what little of my sanity is left. If I had to survive by myself I would be a basket case.

My Apocalypse Survival To Do List

Find another human being

I am not sure where I would take refuge. Since I live in Las Vegas, I would probably attempt to go into the mountains. The problem is finding food to eat and water to drink. I am cannot tell the difference between poison oak or poison ivy berries and wild editable berries. I would have difficulty catching and dressing my own meat. If the meat is a bird of some type, dressing it (all though I still cannot figure out why removing feathers from a bird is called dressing it) would be no problem. I can easily pluck feathers from a dead bird and singe the pinfeathers off. I might have problems removing its guts, especially if it were a small bird.

The question I would really like answered is "Is it worth surviving if I am by myself?" Solitude is all right for short periods of time, but a person cannot remain along a long time without going stark raving mad. I am not sure I would want to survive if I were along, I would attempt surviving because I am just too damn suborn to give up and admit the survival is impossible. I am not sure I could do it along, but I would make an attempt.
