10 Skills To Help You Survive The Apocalypse

Congratulations, you have survived the end of the world.

The zombies are all gone, the aliens got back in their ships, the nuclear fallout dissipated - roll credits and hint at a sequel.

All things must come to an end, even the apocalypse, and if you find yourself on the other side then you're going to have to begin the process of putting the world back together.

There may well still be something of a government in place to try and regain control over the planet. There might be disparate safe zones or military bases for survivors. This kind of society is very vulnerable to becoming something of an oppressive police state, so you could also always take your chances as a bandit if you don't fancy it.

Although, depending on how much of the planet has been flattened, you might even have to start from scratch with no electricity, no infrastructure, no technology, no nothing.

Let us be optimists for a second and imagine that you've fallen into a peaceful community of survivors. On top of the survival skills that kept you alive during the apocalypse, you'll need to learn how to become self-sufficient so that you're able to thrive rather than just survive. 

You have a couple of options here: You could move back to whatever is left of civilisation, live in the existing buildings, scrape together all of your resources and build from there. Alternatively you could embrace your inner hippy, learn to grow your own food and keep bees or something.

Either way, you're inheriting the Earth, so don't screw this up. 

If you've got any hints and tips for the end of the world, be a pal and share them in the comments, they might come in handy.
