How to Survive 2012: End of the World. According to Nostradamus, the Hopi Indians, and others,
2012 marks the end of the world -- December 21, to be exact, if you believe some interpretations
of the Mayan calendar. Don't want to go down without a fight? Here's what to do. You will
need Doomsday community Apocalypse shelter Non-perishable food Water Clothing Medical
supplies Disaster protection Rebuilding supplies Physical fitness and survivalist skill (optional).
Step 1. Join a doomsday community to survive a 2012 end-of-the-world scenario -- an underground
bunker network built to keep people alive for a year. You'll need both the price of
admission -- at least $50,000 in some cases -- and approval by the bunker board. Increase
your chances of acceptance by developing a survival skill that will be useful in the
bunker. Step 2. If you prefer to go it alone, build your own apocalypse shelter, or buy
a prefabricated one. Camouflage it if you can: You don't want desperate neighbors trying
to break down the bunker door when all hell breaks loose. Step 3. Stock your 2012 end-of-the-world
shelter with the basics: non-perishable food that doesn't require cooking; water; clothing;
and medical supplies. Step 4. Be equipped to survive any apocalyptic scenario by stocking
hazmat suits, personal flotation devices, fireproofing spray, and potassium iodide tablets
to protect against radiation exposure. After all, we don't know exactly how the end will
come. Step 5. Include supplies that will help you make a new start once it's safe to leave
the bunker, like seeds to plant a crisis garden; water purification items; waterproof matches;
and hand tools for a world that may not have electricity. Step 6. Spend your time in the
bunker getting into top physical shape; now that you've survived 2012 and the end of the
world, you're going to need all the strength you can muster to re-establish a new one.
Did you know One 2012 end-of-the-world theory we don't have to worry about is Earth colliding
with so-called Planet X -- NASA scientists say that planet doesn't even exist.
