If you're in an apocalyptic environment and you have an often-sympathetic teddy bear child you need to take care of, it's best to plan before you go.
One, it is indeed the most important thing to maintain a vigorous idea of ​​survival from beginning to end. In the film, the father and son do this very well. If they give up on themselves, they will not be able to survive even in a prosperous environment, not to mention in the end times, it is easier to give up on themselves.
Second, keep a vigilant vigilance at all times. The last world is a cannibalistic environment, and the first priority before doing anything is safety first. For example, when choosing a campsite, you cannot choose an open place, and the bonfire should be hidden as much as possible, so that the probability of being discovered by cannibals is greatly reduced, and it is not easy to attract beasts to attack. It is best to choose a high place with a good view, dry and hidden, and set up some simple alarm devices near the campground to avoid danger.
In the film, the father and son did not do well enough in this regard, and their minds were paralyzed. He also lacked vigilance when entering an unfamiliar environment. He broke into the cannibal's den several times and nearly died.
Third, the choice of weapons, if the ammunition is sufficient, the pistol rifle is indeed a good life-saving weapon, but in the case of a serious lack of ammunition, a gun is not as good as a machete or a pair of bows and arrows.
In the film, the father always relied on a pistol with only two bullets for self-defense. Why didn't he get a machete or dagger in time? A good knife is an important guarantee for survival. On the way, you can definitely find a large number of knives in a large number of houses.
Fourth, food problems, try not to eat expired food, eating diarrhea will lead to a lot of dehydration, physical decline, and serious life-threatening.
Fifth, the problem of medicines, medicines are as important as food. In the film, the father should still have pneumonia and cough up blood. Why don't you take medicine? It is possible to run out of food in the dwellings, but it is unlikely to run out of medicines. After a careful search, you can always find some.
Sixth, the problem of means of transportation. You can spend some time accumulating some strategic materials such as gasoline. Driving a car is much faster than walking on two legs. You can invest some time to collect these materials. If you can't find gasoline, bicycle tricycles are excellent means of transportation. You must know that saving a bit of energy in the last days will give you an extra chance of survival.
Seventh, the team problem, the survival rate of a reliable team is greatly improved. It is difficult to fight alone. If you have enough food, you might as well recruit some partners to survive together. The chances of obtaining materials and your own safety are guaranteed, which is really not good. You can also loot other survivors' supplies.

The Road quotes

  • The Man: The clocks stopped at one seventeen. There was a long shear of bright light, then a series of low concussions. I think it's October but I can't be sure. I haven't kept a calender for years. Each day is more gray than the one before. It is cold and growing colder as the world slowly dies. No animals have survived, and all the crops are long gone. Someday all the trees in the world will fall. The roads are peopled by refugees towing carts, and gangs carrying weapons, looking for fuel and food.

    The Man: Within a year there were fires on the ridges and deranged chanting. There has been cannibalism. Cannibalism is the great fear. Mostly I worry about food, always food. Food and the cold and our shoes. Sometimes I tell the boy old stories of courage and justice, difficult as they are to remember. All I know is the child is my warrant, and if he is not the word of God, then God never spoke.

  • Wife: My heart was ripped out of me the night he was born.
