"I am an archaeologist and a wilderness survival instructor. Because I
study societies that have collapsed, and since I teach basic outdoor
skills, people ask me about what to do in a natural disaster, social
upheaval, or some apocalyptic event. Right now, much of that concern
relates to climate change. What I would do, where I would go, and what
equipment I would take?
I understand the preoccupation with things falling apart. We face
serious problems, like climate change. Perhaps because we worry, we
envision the post-apocalyptic world. However, the great number of zombie
fantasies and natural disaster movies suggests more than just a concern
for the future. We seem to enjoy the fantasy. We like imaging life after
civilization collapses. Like wiggling a loose tooth, it hurts in a good
way."
