Then we might have a revolution, chop of the Evil Squire's head and invade Ireland for a bit.

Perhaps someone will comes up with the notion of some kind of asset that can be used in place of chickens. A piece of paper or something that is really difficult to copy so that nobody can make their own. Then I'll probably see if that can be used to obtain goods and services. Pehaps I'll start accepting them to take people around on my cart.
Of an evening we might find a witch or two to burn. There might even be a plague! That would cheer everyone up.

Not a whiff of light hearted exaggeration in that post.

I guess it depends on your age, how much you have saved and whether you're prepared to live in a bunker and eat your kids.
How are you planning for armageddon?
working your socks off in the hope that you can save enough money to buy a yatch and slip anchor as each port becomes more terrifying?
Or are you spending all your money while you can before the banks collapse and hyper-inflation reduces your life savings to the cost of a terry's chocolate orange?
Are you paying off your mortgage, so you'll be able to board yourself up with some shotgun cartridges, bottled water and corned beef?
Or are you selling your house so you can buy a souped up chevvy and roam the world mad max style? Doing more and more push ups to get in shape for the inevitable fights to the death with feral street gangs who will terrorise neighbourhoods after even martial law breaks down?
What's the best way to plan for the coming "escape from new york" scenario?
