LOL I got 2-4 weeks like most most things were poor. I really need to get my act together. I think here in the UK the scenarios are a little different to across the pond. Our SHTF More likely to be economic breakdown or solar flares. I think I need to sort out a 72 hour bag for the car at least and dried food supplies. :shock:

Some of these questions also don't take into consideration that someone could be vegetarian :lol: So my score probably could've been better. As for water storage, you don't have to store it inside the house - think water tanks/butts and filtration.
I used my Air rifle's for this question. I have well over a 1000 round's for them, So my score was high for this.
My water score was very low. But I could collect rain water. There is also a River not too far away. I might have a hard time getting to it depending what It was like outside.
Likewise, air rifle and 2 crossbows.

2-4 months. Need more food. Longer tan I expected it to say, but I'm still going to expand my stores.

It said for me 1-2 months BUT being a coeliac vegetarian, I had to put nil down for meat and grains :lol: :lol:

Security is my main issue and no, I am not going to get a gun.

Well according to this survey I would survive for 2-4 weeks. Which is a total shocker. I was hoping for at least 2-4 months! :shock:

Security was my major weakness, but that's not surprising as this is a US-based survey!

As said by everyone else, security was an issue for me, and the fact that I'm veggie and have no meat stored lol. But because I tweaked it a little we came out at 2 - 4 months which I'm really pleased with - interesting little survey :)

score 91

24 months

low security , weapons are an excellent equalizer one gun is a start but two with 1000 rds per person is ideal, standardizing your weapons to one caliber simplifies ammo storage and reloading

typical American answer !

not in the UK where we can only store a limited amount of ammo legally and having more than one type of firearm is hard

I'm not convinced of any kind of accuracy with this survey. I just went through and basically said yes to everything on there, including storing the maximum of 200 gallons of water per person per year. And the survey still returned a 'your water score is low'!

Funnily enough, I have just come on here to do exactly the same thing and see what it says!

I put in the most advantageous answer for each question, to see what happened. The highest score you can possibly get is 100.
