<snip> Derek is compiling a survival guide on how to cope after the total collapse of society. It is, as you can imagine, a big job.
<snip> Derek, 60, who moved from London to the countryside in the southeast of England four years ago, puts it another way.
"There's going to be absolute pandemonium when it does happen, so I just want to be prepared so that I'm not a burden on anyone," he says.
What this disaster might be is anyone's guess, says Derek, but he's got his hunches.
Climate change is high up on the list. Also up there is the fallout from a global economic collapse, possibly resulting from a state of peak oil -- the point where oil production reaches its peak and thereafter goes into freefall.

What?s the point in just surviving?
For me, I would like it so we can build up a society that?s better than the one we have today. That more than just surviving!

Can we build an Ark and fill it with telephone sanitisers, financial advisers, local government officials, quango staff, chavs and send it off to Russia or Liberia or somewhere else nice? The rest of us can then get the country sorted out.

I agree with the OP, but take it a step further.
A heck of a lot of folks will be showing up on
my doorstep, and I'm not Walmart. What then?
How can the average prepper/doomer handle
the load of family and friends that come asking for
sustenance?
