Oh, c'mon admit it: it is about the rum. We both know a coco can be opened with a sharp piece of a shell. Carmelized sugar you sayin'? And how the heck do you make the sugar after the End? You do not make it by buying it in a shop, do ya? b.

Most of the places we seek to go now anyway will be less affected by the fall of our culture.

Coconut sugar is actually one of the premier sugars around. They're using it for diabetics, since it's essentially a naturally super-sweet sugar, containing tons of sweetness for very few calories.

Collection is the same as for coconut wine. You climb the tree and chop the end off of the young, unopened coconut pods (spadix?). You have to climb the tree to scrape the end 2-3 times per day to keep the sap flowing, but they'll yield for quite awhile, and you just collect into a big piece of bamboo section or a plastic bottle.

You can either make wine with the sap, or you can reduce it a bunch and end up with coconut sugar.

Speaking of pets, in event of a real "End Times" event, you should be prepared for their well being. Any caring person would look to insure their future.

Well is you can not get hold of the processed commercial "pet food" they will probably end up on a much better diet.

However, you might have problems finding a minister of the cloth, but should be plenty of bankers around, they always seem to survive, just like cockroaches.

Unfortunately, this is an urban legend. Unless a Captain is a priest or a JP or holds a licence to conduct weddings then he cannot legally marry anyone.

The Straight Dope: Are ships' captains allowed to marry people at sea?

If you think the end of the world may turn into a temporary situation then I would suggest a very large ark with a male and female of each specie.

I think the only thing needed to bring along is your imagination. After all it is the end of the world and you are going to have to start all over again.

A few recommendations though:

While re-creating the world, rest on the 3rd, 5th and 7th day… since we want a better balance!

Do not covet thy neighbors sheep, …since there will probably already be an overabundance of antipodean survivors because of geographical luck and again…. we want a better balance!

Let’s just outlaw Magnetic North, since it confuses everybody and who cares if true virgins can dance twice at elections?

Protect at all costs…your sense of humor…. Otherwise you might as well be dead!
