Survivalist Tip: Whether or not you live near a coastline, river, large lake or a sewage plant, it would be prudent to possess some heavy-duty rain wear. I don’t mean fashionable raincoats (remember, we’re talking survival here!) but sturdy attire made of firm yet malleable rubber. Heavy precipitation is expected when the apocalypse hits, and since it’ll be winter in the Northern Hemisphere this December, that means snow and ice. If you live in Texas like me, snow and ice is also a possibility, but it’s more likely the Red River and the Rio Grande will overflow. If you live along the banks of a major river, such as the Mississippi or Colorado, you’re just as vulnerable. If you live along the Jersey shore, you’re probably not going to make it anyway, so just light a candle now and get your affairs in order. Heavy rain gear, including hip waders, boots, ponchos and jackets will help to keep out water and snow; there’s nothing worse than trying to save your loved ones or your batch of chocolate while sopping wet. If you’ve ever wondered why bikers and construction workers are able to keep going even in the most inclement of weather, now you know! It’s because they have their treasured rain gear – and a beer keg!
