Apparently there are a group of atheists who will do pet care, for a fee (in advance), in the event of the rapture.

Not unlike the group who, in the 70's, apparently looked around for a safe haven and moved to Falkland Islands.

Where do you suppose they get their machetes?

Unless you are going to use bone tools.

You people scare me, time to go rent Waterworld and take some notes. I'm sure Hollywood has trhe correct vision of the furture, except that is for the belief that after the FALL of the world everyone wears football shoulder pads (American football for you kickball people).

Here we are and it has happened.

I got mine from Cold Steel Cold Steel Knives A great little now out of production bowie knife machete that will both husk and hole a coconut. I also scored some great killing spikes for spearfishing. The company sells heaps of high quality weaponry, some of which is actually prohibited in Australia.
