Untill now I saw only Verity mention the personal and physical thing.
I've seen guns mentioned but that requiers aming skills and the knowledge how to clean the weapon.
A dirty weapon is more dangerous to you as to the opponent so we'll have to learn those skills as well.
How to shoot a bow. I would not suggest compoundbows. They may have more power but also need more maintenance and once it's broken it's very hard to fix.
Give a compound bow to an unskilled archer and you may find it in pieces within a minute.
1000 rounds for each weapon is nice but heavy.
Once the amo is gone the gun is useless but arrows can always be made/reused.
So train yourself to hit a remote target, be it with a gun, a bow, a slingshot, a stone or a boomerang.
Be sure you can handle a sharp knive and learn how to sharpen it.
Once you killed a rabbit, can you skin it and prepare it?
Clean it, cook it, eat it, use the skin for clothing by cleaning and preparing it.
Learn how to use a stick to defend yourself so take aikido lessons.
Good for your skills, for your mind, for your physical condition.
These are things you can already learn now. if you have to learn them when the heat is on you are too late and the people who know it are too busy surviving to teach you.
They say hunger is a good teacher but what if you are a slow learner?
Spend your next holiday to learn how to survive in the outdoors instead of going to Hawaii or Turkey because there is still time.
Learn to shoot and maintain a bow. Learn how to make bowstrings and their several knots and splicetechnics. Learn how to make wooden arrows.
Learn how to recognize several birds by their feathers, shapes and calls, animals and their footprints.
Learn how to run like hell if you find a bears footprint .
Learn how to fish, make rods, lines, hooks etc.
Realize that if we loose our civilization as we know it now and if we have to live in the open and if we will have to learn how to hunt again that that will not be for a certain amount of time.
Realize that there will not be a certain day that a message will come from headquarters telling us the good news that it's all over and that we can return to our happy homes again.
Realize that you have to build a new community, new city's, new schools.
Your iPod will not work anymore.
Music will be homemade and laws will no longer exist so new rules have to be made.
Realize that we will be in such a situation for at least a few generations and that you will not survive it, at least not see the new civilization and that you must trust the children that they will.

That's all for now
