From the Field Guide to the Apocalypse: Movie Survival Skills for the End of the World under the Neo-Medieval World, about How to Choose an Intimidating Vehicle:
The Tank
If you can get a tank, get a freaking tank!
Pros: It's a tank! It can go, like, sixty-five miles an hour over open ground and still hit targets a mile away with a cannon that fires depleted uranium bullets.
Cons: You'd have to get a tank from someone who has a tank. Good luck.
This book is hilarious. I'm finally reading after borrowing it from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sarcastic_elf uh about two working on three? years ago. It basically covers three different types of apocalyptic futures: the false utopia (think soylent green), neo-medievalism (Mad Max), and advanced technological dystopia (Bladerunner, Matrix, Fifth Element). About what you have to do to survive, to be intimidating (see the tank above, and how to dress), and ways not be turned into soylent green, etc. I'm halfway through and currently in the Neo-Medieval section, but I definitely can see the movies this was based off of. It also does cover some serious issues like what can cause an apocalypse. The chapter on creating your own diesel fuel was interesting. But the humor that follows is awesome. So far a very, very amusing read.
Tip: Remember, knives and swords don't need ammo, and they don't need to be reloaded.
