Basic rules of survival

[Blindswordmaster]

What are your most basic rules of survival? The bare essential laws that you go by?
Mine:
Accept current situation
Be aware of your environment
Don't do anything stupid
Food, water, and shelter above all else

 

[vento 231]

Stay alert, keep sane, best option a mate, next is a dog, because we need interaction of some sort, food, water, ammunition are my top three needs, and try to find a larger group to travel with, there is strength in numbers.

 

[Jackalb]

Eat everything until it's proven inedible.

 

[Total LOLige]

Dig a hole and hide inside it.

 

[eatenbyagrue]

Remain hydrated
Bring extra shirts


Because living in the tropics sucks.

 

[BlumiereBleck]

Burn everything in sight....rule 1!

 

[Quaxar]

The fattest guy is the first to get eaten... so sweat, chubby! No wait, that was my basic rule of diet.

Ah yes. Don't trust the squirrels!

 

[Snowalker]

I am the most important person to me. If it's me or someone else who has to die, they die. I am Number 1, I matter the most.

That could make for a heart warming movie where in the end you sacrifice yourself to save a pregnant woman. aww...

*runs off the write a screenplay*

 

[snowman6251]

Never run when you can walk.
Never walk when you can stand.
Never stand when you can sit.
Never sit when you can lie down.
Never lie down when you can sleep.
And never refuse food and water.

I'd kill them if they were slowing me down in an apocalypse. I really don't care for people. I'd get together a band of people, and if it were a Zombie Apocalypse, try to make sure Joss Whedon is still alive and make sure he stays that way.

I was joking, I'd probably do the same, except I know not who Joss Whedon is.... So... I guess.. I'd make sure... You know.. screw it.

I don't much plan for the Zombie Apocalypse cause it happens to be the one least likely to happen.

If it were nuclear apocalypse, I'd get together with my friends and go do some raiding and scavenging. Just keep moving, and make little friendships, cause the less friends, the less enemies.

Joss must be saved at all costs. ALL COSTS.

OT: Have a big knife. The bigger the better. Preferably a machete. Failing that, a rescue chopper. But I'd prefer the knife.

 

[Continuity]

What are your most basic rules of survival?

1) Don't get killed
2) Don't do anything dangerous if you can help it
3) If you have to do something dangerous then do it as safely as possible

Damn ninja. Stealing my thoughts before I can even click on the thread...

 

[Mannayz]

1) Take cover, take aim and fire.
2) Loot the bodies.
3) ????
4) PROFIT!

Demented minds think alike.

Very true. The only way I'd sacrifice myself for another, is if I valued that person so much, that to live without them would be meaningless. I think that's what many people do as well, selfish even in a supposedly selfless act...

1. --

3. --
4. When it comes to "survival", no rules apply, so no rules need be followed.

[edit] Wait, let me simplify this...

 

[Orwellian37]

1. Always have a knife and lighter on hand.
2. One gallon of water per day.
3. Eat when you can.
4. Sleep when you must.
5. Stay put as long as you can. If there is no hope at your location, move on.
6. I am my greatest ally, and no one will change that.
7. Anyone could be the difference between my life or death. Trust no one.
8. Murder, even in mercy, regardless of species, is only warranted by self-preservation.
9. Never give up.
10. Break one of these rules before doing anything to endanger myself.

 

[Mr.Mattress]

1: Make as many friends as possible. The more guns fighting for/with you the better
2: Eat and drink what you can (Unfortunatly I am picky, so it's more like Eat and Drink What I can and What I like)
3: Make sure your allies don't go insane. If they do quickly put down.
4: Attend to most if not all needs of your allies. The last thing you would want are grudges.
5: Try to establish Society with your allies. Build huts and little houses.
6: Everyone must do something.
7: Always carry a weapon just in case.
8: Try not to go insane yourself. Carry a Book to read and try to remain positive.
9: Kill everything that isn't your ally.

 

[finalguy]

always know where your towel is

 

[Not-here-anymore]

Rule #1: Cardio
Rule #2: Double Tap

Basically, everything in zombieland, but in a different order. Don't be a hero is a lot higher up my list, but not a rule I'm likely to actually follow.

Other than that, find a few books/human beings/a dog. Anything you can use to take your mind off things/generally converse with.
