These ideas may come in handy AFTER you've completely filled all your rooms, garage and basement with survival essentials such as dried beans, toilet paper, bottled water, matches, dog/cat food, camo clothing, guns, chain saws, cell phones, boat motors, and radio batteries. But you need to provide for them BEFORE the big one hits.
1. Marry a general practitioner/surgeon, or at least a paramedic, even if you have to support him/her.
2. Learn to sleep in the daytime, so you can stay up at night and watch for invaders.
3. Don't let your unprepared relatives know you're stockpiling. Better still, move to Boston or some place where you don't know anybody.
4. Collect recipes for dog, cat, squirrel, chipmunk, frog, lizard, crow, jaybird, etc. Raise mushrooms in the crawl space for side dishes.
5. Practice smoking indoors, so your neighbors won't see you smoking outside and know that you're holding tobacco or something.
6. Don't stress out by wondering what you'll do when you finally run out of everything. This is a real downer and takes the fun out of the whole disaster schtick.

Thank you so much for these helpful (and timely) suggestions. I would also like to add, Don't let your slack-brained relatives force the sale of your hard-to-reach wooded property which has a spring (water source) and lots of odd and semi-edible plants and animals, where you could have survived, possibly.
You crack me up! I love the tips, very useful! Oh, if you can get your hands on a Foxfire book, I remember they have recipes for squirrel. Not sure which Foxfire book it was in.
Hugs...
