Survivalist Tip: Buy several pairs of sturdy work boots – the kind with thick soles that reach up above your ankle and have alloy-enforced toe fronts. You might have to hike long distances across rough terrain after the apocalypse, so you need decent, stable footwear that’s comfortable, yet water and soil-resistant. Forget your designer cowboy boots and running shoes! I don’t care how much money you spent on them. They’re too wimpy compared to good old fashioned construction and military-type work boots. Besides, with that alloy toe, you can easily disable an uncooperative member of your flock with a swift kick to the crotch or the butt. And, the heavy material means none of their nasty body fluids will seep through to your skin. I can vouch for this. I can’t tell you the number of times I had to incapacitate some drunkard who made a pass at me at a bar. Well, I could by counting the police reports, but I don’t have time right now. I have to polish off my boots.
