The Test

Imagine that the world as we know it comes to an end. Whether it's due to major geological events, or the aftermath of a catastrophic political decision to launch some nukes.
Everything that you take for granted is gone. No electricity, no telecommunications, no mechanised transport.
Want food and water? You must hunt/find it.
Want shelter? You must build it.
Want security? You are it.
In that situation, what are your chances given your current physical situation? Would you be able to run away if required, fight if necessary and search for food?
That's the test.
You'll probably never be in that situation, but if you train to be ready for even such an extreme situation then the much smaller obstacles that life throws at you will be much easier to deal with.
Train for the worst, hope for the best, deal with whatever actually happens.
