UK population does not have the skills to survive in post-apocalyptic world
A THIRD of the population of the UK has prepared itself for an apocalypse but the majority of people don’t have the skills to survive afterwards.Some 36 per cent of Britons keep a ‘grab bag’ full of essentials in case of a disaster, says a study led by the University of Leicester’s Dr Lewis Dartnell.
However, few of these bags are full of necessities, the report warns.
Some 61 per cent of these people have packed food, 53 per cent packed medical supplies, and the third most common packed item is a mobile phone, with 47 per cent planning on taking theirs.
The report – released in conjunction with science event The Big Bang Fair – advised that items such as a fire-starting kit, water bottle, small knife, rope and food should all be the top priorities.
