The world ended yesterday, will you survive?

I just finished watch History Channel "After Armageddon" and I realized that, I have no hunting skills nor the equipment necessary to survive if the world ended. So my question is:

Lets say that you somehow survived a global epidemic that wiped out much of the worlds population. There is looting, killing, and violence all around you. The streets are crowded with cars and corpses forcing you to walk. In one year, there is hope that a new medical break through will cure the epidemic and stabilize the economy again. So you basically need to survive 1 year.

1) Where would you go?
2) What 3 items would you carry with you?
3) Who would you take with you?
4) Would you be willing to steal and kill in order to survive?
5) If one of the people in your party is severely injured would you leave them behind?
6) What skills do you posses that would help you survive the chaos?

I got a few choices for #1

B.Super market that carries items in bulks until it runs out
C.Military Bunker(food and water are always inside,as well as weapons)

2.entertainment/cell phone/swiss army knife

pic of a good swiss army knife

3.Anyone who listens to me and are in the right state of mind/no smokers-drunkies

4.Survival is top priority obviously,so yes,anyone else who says no is lying.As TS said
you need to steal/kill to survive,not if you had the option.I'd most like shoot to injure.

5.No

6.6 years of military training,weapons expert,computer expert,
semi chemistric knowledge(know how to make bombs etc.)
Logical,quick thinking as well as quick reflexes,higher accuracy then most
very high hand/eye cordnation

#1 and 2 go hand in hand,if your gonna be stationed anywhere,
its gonna have food and water,as well as electricity,so putting
food/water etc for #2,so unless your traveling,it isn' needed and can be used for better things.

@AllieEcstasy: you'd be surprised on how many people share before thinking of themselves first.

[quote=AllieEcstasy]What do you expect people to do then? I highly doubt people are gonna run around punching, kicking, or trying to reason with the infected.
And second... Not everyone would be sharing stuff. Not everyone is nice enough to share, greedy people would kill you right on the spot for your goods. [/quote]

i still believe that the thousand of people that believe in sharing stuff will overwhelm the one that is greedy. Look at those popular revolution in the middle east

Lol at people bringing "guns and katanas " as items. Seriously, that is plain stupid. You will just end up making the same society that brought that epidemy to you.

And stealing doesn't really exist if everyone is sharing stuff.

1) Try to find people I can trust and constantly be on the move, heading north to Canada. Maybe find and join some alliance with those who wish to survive like I do
2) Sub machine gun with enough ammo to kill several people, Light backpack with food and supplies, First aid kit
3) Two trustworthy and reliable friends, we will cooperate to stock up on supplies, or make escape plans, find shelter, etc
4) I will try to avoid combat all costs, but If I have no choice or I need to, I will
5) If we were in safe territory, me or a friend would carry him. If it's very severe and he's near the point of death, then I will leave him in a safe place, there's nothing else I could do, unless there was a friendly hospital nearby, then I'd try my best to get them there to seek help, but I will check just in case it's unsafe
6) No skills in particular, willing to cooperate and make sacrifices for a greater good, as long as it's not sacrificing my life.

1) Where would you go? Near fresh water.
2) What 3 items would you carry with you? A swiss knife, bag, first aid kit (if I find one) or a rope.
3) Who would you take with you? People that want to survive.
4) Would you be willing to steal and kill in order to survive? I'd rather share than trying to make the world back to what it was before. And also, why would I kill people that want to survive too ? The only person that would do that are the stupid people who believe really hard that capitalism is the best thing ever.
5) If one of the people in your party is severely injured would you leave them behind? No. Help him.
6) What skills do you posses that would help you survive the chaos? I can make lot's of thing with some random piece of wood. Cooking skill, i know how to survive in area where there isn't much thing to survive with .

Sry, i tried to make the list shorter, i corrected it! =_=

Something that made me lol is that many said they would be carrying katana's. Is this for cutting firewood, or are you guys so brave and honorable that you would actually confront gun-wielding killers in close combat. Also for me:

1) Underground
2) Vitamins/Medicine, Water, Food
3) My GF (to repopulate the earth and junk).
4) Pretty much anyone I see carry something valuable is getting clubbed.
5) =_=...um jeez I would feel pretty guilty but ya.
6) I can grovel and beg like no other.
