In case the apocalypse happens, how prepared do you think you'll be?

A new study has found that two-thirds of Americans are confident in their abilities to one day "live off the land" in case life necessitates it.


According to The New York Post, one-third of folks even believe they could last up to a YEAR using their foraging skills alone to survive.

The survey interviewed over 1,000 US rural residents and another thousand from cities and suburbs, and found that two-thirds from both walks of life say they "wouldn't have any problem" growing their own produce in case grocery stores closed nationwide.

And funny enough, it's the city-folks that appear to be most confident in their farming skills.

72% of urban and suburbanites told the survey they would be veggie sufficient, whereas just 62% of rural residents feel the same.
