If society as we know it ceased to exist tomorrow, could you survive?
The world as we know it ending is a scary concept, but one that features heavily in popular culture. Books, TV shows, films and video games regularly depict the apocalypse in one way or another – more often than not featuring a band of weary survivors fighting off the undead.

But if you woke up tomorrow greeted by the end of the world, would you have the skills to survive? Modern society has given us countless positives, but it has also made us forget many of the invaluable skills that allowed to reach this stage of civilisation in the first place. These are your tips to getting by in the post-society world.
If the world ended tomorrow would you have the skills to rebuild civilisation?
