Fair enough. A horse system with horse stations set up every forty kilometers to change horses and get their faster. The Mongolian method.
90% has always been the expected die off this side of the pond, and forget about recovery, things will never get back to "business as usual" not with that amount of die off it wont.
not many, 85% of the population lives in cities and are scared of the countryside. and it isn't such a small island, sure its crowded in the big cities but Britain isn't just big cities any more than America is.
with that many dead we could be looking at a century or more, in 1750 the population of this country was 6 million or 10% approx. of todays population, with a 90% die off that's the kind of numbers we are talking about, and 1750 was what? 265 years ago if my arithmetic is correct, that what we would be looking at, not 10 or 20 years.
You're dead right on not trying to learn after shtf. My gardening skills are getting better each year, but I would have starved to death if I had to depend on them that first year, even the second. I'm still not what I would call good, but at least have a fighting chance of eating all year now.they might have better understanding but if they cant grow their own food they aren't going to last long, and post SHTF is too late to start learning. people have the wrong skills these days, knowing IT skills wont put food on the table.
That reminds me about growing fruits. I planted a lot of fruit trees here, but many didn't start to produce for three or four years, so starting after shtf is kind of a little late. You don't need to produce everything you eat, or go completely off grid, but we should all be taking baby steps to head in that direction.we grow a lot of our own fruit and veg, got at least 5 apple trees, in what is a small garden.
