Would You Survive A Disaster Movie? Answer These Questions To Find Out
Let's be real: almost everyone secretly has a plan for if the zombie apocalypse comes along. Whether it's locking down inside an abandoned Costco or finding a spot deep in the woods to build a new life, almost everyone believes that they'd be able to turn into a post-apocalyptic hero simply by growing their hair out, putting on a bandana and heading out into the wilderness.
However, whether the threat is something supernatural like zombies, terrifying like a natural disaster or just downright silly like a tornado carrying sharks, the skills you need to survive are pretty much the same. If you can make a meal without using a microwave or consulting a Nigella Lawson cookbook, can find your way around without Google Maps and know how to tell the difference between blackberries and ivy berries, then you're going to have a higher chance of survival than someone who lives off meal delivery services and only goes outside to play Pokemon Go.
The good news is, this quiz will test your survival instincts in all sorts of varied scenarios, so you can test your skill level in response to everything from shambling undead to a plain old earthquake. If you survive? Great! You can stop watching episodes of Doomsday Preppers and stay safe in the knowledge that you'd be okay. If you don't? It might be time to break out the Bear Grylls videos and remind yourself how to tie the right knots, make a fire from scratch, and how to tell the tasty leaves from the poisonous ones.

Founded in 2016, Eighties Kids started small. Beginning as a blog posting on 80s and 90s life as well as the movies, music and television of the era, Eighties Kids has in a short space of time exploded in scope and ambition. Operating out of Eighties Kids HQ in sunny Ilkley, in the North of England, today a growing team of writers produces original content day in and day out for one of the best new nostalgia sites on the web.
With the site also growing beyond its original remit, the Eighties Kids team now covers not just trivia from the 80s and 90s, but pop culture of all decades that's of interest to children of the 80s, 90s and beyond. From shocking and obscure fact posts on your favourite movies and bands, to quizzes on classic TV shows and film franchises, to picture galleries on celebrities from past and present, Eighties Kids is here to take you down memory lane, test your knowledge of classic pop culture and maybe even occasionally blow your mind.
