It was on 4chan. ergo, it ended up just about everywhere.

No idea what Facepunch is. The template is pretty generic so it's probably filtered around the tubes.

I read a lot of James Burke. He's a historian who focuses on science, and more particularly, how unrelated events, political climates and discoveries lead to modern day technologies. This doesn't sound handy at first, but not only does he explain how a lot of old technology works or was discovered, it gives me ground work for various tasks.

I also read a lot of farming guides. Not the modern stuff, either. Like, pre-electricity stuff. You'd be surprised just how much useful stuff is in there. It helps that the town I live in has a Ye Olde Times farming convention. It makes finding stuff like that rather useful. (And I've used it to learn a lot about steam engines.)

I actually have a few books on meatball military medicine. Though they're usually just "beat your chest military pride" books, a few of them have some really useful information in them -- ways to keep people alive when you're out of supplies.

I have a few books on sustainable living. I focus on stuff like "turn a washer motor into a power generator" and the like instead of things such as biodiesel.

All of this stuff is being copied into my own personal guide. I print out revised copies every six months, though I feel like I should come up with a major one and laminate it or something.

There is one more book, a copy of which is nestled down in the very bottom of both my BOBs. It may sound strange, but it's a copy of Mistwalker by Denise Lopez Heald inside a ziplock baggie. It's my favorite book, and I don't think I'll ever get tired of reading it. If I'm going to be out for the long term, I want something to help keep my spirits up.

> considering i neve rleave my computer i prob wouldn't even notice lol

You will notice when you can no longer connect to the internet. When your laptop battery dies and you can't recharge it because there is no power. When you turn on the bathroom tap and realize, I have to save this for drinking water, and so you fill up the tub before it runs dry.

Trust me, you will notice.

>Implying i have friends IRL

also i'd be cool chilling in some bunker a mile underground with some anon or something, i've never met an anon that wasn't a pretty cool guy so far, and i went to all 3 Otakon panels so thats saying something

Okay, sorry to shoot you down but we're not seeking to achieve sovereignty. If we tried something like that on US land we'd undoubtedly get shut down in an instant.

Furthermore, while we'd definitely have a doomsday bunker, we certainly wouldn't be living in it 24/7.

It features quite a lot of natural instruments like drums and flutes, and has ambient sounds in the background to create the feel of a crowded wasteland bazaar.

I do sort of wonder what kind of music people would make in a P-A situation considering how divorced most are from folk traditions. Would we, for example, end up with troubadors wandering around playing acoustic versions of Nelly and Rihanna?! Are we in for a hipster P-A...

But yea, harmonica and acoustic instruments seem likely. Also I wouldn't discount the usefulness of a guitar so quickly. Once you have a stable enough group, an instrument might go a long way to keeping up morale and keeping the group cohesive. Triumph of the human spirit and all that...

Look up the music from the Stalker games. Lots of sad harmonica, yeah, actually, but it's usually quite good.

There is plenty of music ABOUT the post-apocalypse but what about music FROM the post-apocalypse? I guess it would depend on the nature of the apocalypse and what materials are left.

I picture lots of sad harmonica playing for some reason. But I can think of 101 more useful things to do with guitar strings in a survival situation than leave them on my guitars so those might be sacrificed soon, depending on how well prepared I was beforehand. Maybe there will be lots of solo, unaccompanied singing of tales of Earth past or the beating of makeshift drums or something.

Purty much.

I mean what makes something post-apocalyptic music in the first place is a question you gotta ask too. I mean, I say this over in /cy/, but at least there's the argument of electronic music emerging in the same decade as the literature.
The post-apocalypse has been represented well by all sorts of music - rock 'n' roll to echo a once great America, Americana folk to show a return to roots, even Cole Porter... but I don't think there is such a thing as definitively post-apoc music.
