It's been educational reading the thoughtful posts above. Thanks to every one who contributed. Personally, my feelings run along the lines of Dunedan, but I'm not as prepared as I would like to be.
One poster said that he/she didn't expect any sort of apocalyptic event for 50 years or more. That surprised me a little. I'm thinking more like the next 5 years or so. What are others' thoughts on when such an event might occur and what might cause it? I'm inclined to think that a global financial meltdown sometime in the next 5 years might precipitate such an event. I have read that there is only a 10 day supply of food in the average town/city. Without transportation to replenish (never mind the source of the replenishment) there would be food riots leading to generalized anarchy. I kind of doubt a left/right split in a vein similar to the Civil War. I think most people are too politically complacent.
