A quiz by UsvsTh3m figures out how well you are prepared for the apocalypse. With just a little knowledge and hubris, I managed to live to the age of 105 (if the apocalypse happens soon).

Although to be fair, I'm not sure how knowing which side of a tree the moss grows on in the Northern Hemisphere will help me down here in Australia.
Also, from my extensive TV & movie viewing, I'm not sure that surviving the apocalypse is all it's cracked up to be.

Guess I should start working on the pee machine. Maybe Mio will help with that...

Anyone that has spent any longer time in the forest actually looking at trees knows that where moth grows is seriously randomized. You need a quite large (and random) sample to spot the predominance of moss to grow on the north side. Don't ever try to use it for navigation.
Use your wristwatch and the sun instead.
But fun fact: There's a correlation between dogs uhm direction and north. Maybe you should bring a dog.
