Same here. If you live in the valleys it could be interesting. You live in the south?MrGseff said:
Well since I live in Ireland it won't make a bit of difference here. This place is as sunny as the dark side of the moon. I'll just continue on as normal.
I don't have anything against necessary cannibalism. Salt's normally packaged fairly well where I live so I should find a few jars while scavenging to preserve the meat. Knowing where the secluded communities and people of less vitality are is a plus.Jowe said:
Honestly, there is no plan anyone in the United States could have to survive this scenario. Most of the central north US would die within days if not hours of the eruption from the firestorms, ash and toxic gases. The US as a nation would collapse, and, depending on the severity of the eruption, the rest of the world is looking at anywhere from several months to a few years of ash blocking the sun. This would make agricultural yields marginal at best. And then the Ice Age would worsen (many Geologists still consider us to be in an Ice Age, people).
My survival plan: be on Mars in a self sufficient colony before this happens.

Sorry, I had heard from the History Channel Recently that it's suppose to be due for another eruption. Sorry...Old Trailmix said:
I live in Illinois so my immediate concern would be the nearby gigantic fault line that is also overdue for release. Last time it quaked the Mississippi river (damn big river) flowed backwards. My guess is that an explosion of Yellowstone's magnitude would cause it to go off. Other than that, monitor the wind patterns and plan accordingly. Probably would head up to Michigan due to the abundance of people who are used to the cold, have close bonds, and can hunt as well as the wildlife that would make great food sources. Not to mention the fact that anyone else traveling would head south due to the whole Ice age thing. Also I would definitely would be hitting the shooting range more often if I got some forewarning.
Apology accepted, and never trust the history channel hahaMr.Mattress said:
Also, it wouldn't be too terrible if you edited that link into your OP....
Die horribly, as I live close enough to Yellowstone to be instantly buried in freshly extradited lava.
(Then again, maybe Robert Brockway needs to be less sensationalistic, and I'm wrong.)
If I'm wrong, and I survive the flying ash and lava, I use my Edmontonian powers (+50% Cold Resistance), body and metabolism type (+20% Cold Resistance) and decent endurance (+10% Cold Resistance) to not die.

Well, shoot, I'll probably have to cancel my 21st December 2012 apocalypse plans. I hate it when a catastrophic event screws up your calendar.
I sometimes wish a catastrophic event does take place, just so that all the doomsayers can get it out of their system. Oh wait, they won't have any system left. They'll be dead!

We should have a competition, who dies first. You'll probably win, but it's worth a shot.senordesol said:
I remember hearing we'd get about a millimeter of ash were Yellowstone to erupt. Not good, but better than several tons of ash, and rock, and super heated debris.Ordinaryundone said:
North Carolina for the win!
