Between the ages of 6-12 I had a fervant belief that I would be a rare survivor in some sort of post-apocolyptic scenario. The scenaro often changed- post-nuclear, post-disease, post-evacuation to remote area, post-whatever.
I had plans laid out for every imaginable scenario. I had itineries. I researched things likie edible plants, and home-made medicines, how to make traps and how to generate electricity.
I really felt it was my destiny.
On several occasions I was even convinced that the end was neigh and the world would change that night, next week, before my next birthday et cetera.
Even now I like to make sure I have bottled water, hypothermia blankets, and long-life dried food around.... just in case.
