[quote:Soledad:MV85MTExMzVfMTQxMDU2NDBfN0I3MjY1OUE=] [quote:SouthernLight] Water filtering devises won't last long and most water sources will likely be poisoned... What to do? [/quote] I had the same reaction to Battlestar Gal. I also hated how the ordinary people never had any real input, while the military types made all the decisions. Also, the continued idea of a "press corps" was beyond stupid. Anyway, just wanted to say that while water sources will initially be polluted by lead from volcanic ash, the good news is that it will filter out over a few years. Meanwhile, there won't be factories polluting anymore so over time water should eventually be clean again. If you stay away from population centers, biological contamination should be low except maybe giardia. High quality filters like Katadyn makes are good for thousands of gallons. The trick is to silt the water first so that the filter doesn't get clogged with mud. Put the water in five gallon buckets and let it sit for 24 hours, then filter off the top 2/3 without disturbing the bucket and pour out the crap at the bottom. Soledad :wine: [/quote]

... and bypass all the controversy surrounding the topic.
I'd like some input on protective measures average people / communities can take as the effects (earth changes) intensify. I hate to think of myself as a 'useless eater', but let's face it, I don't have any shining qualifications that will warrant an invitation to the nearest super bunker.
What I Do have is rare enough... a surviver's attitude and experience in wilderness living. So, considering this (hypothetical) situation realistically, what steps can those of us awake, but without black-ops or bail-out funds, do to have a chance of survival? Are there any ideas or resources available that could help groups or small communities know how to prepare... what effects are most likely (any for specific areas beyond coastal or fault zones?), how to quickly construct safe, low dollar sheltering, foods to culture or grow in extreme or 'on the move' situations and whatever else that might apply when trying to save as many as possible under 'worst case' conditions.
I know some are considering this topic... Where do we start?
