Let’s assume no zombies or other supernatural occurrences, but could be plenty of people being shitty, consequences thereof, or natural disasters
Edit: to expand on this, presumably if society has temporarily or permanently collapsed there would be issues with things like deliveries, security, digital transactions, utility service etc. Feel free to use whichever scenario seems most likely to you, I’m asking more because I was thinking how screwed I’d be if I was just out of food after say, seven days.
I already have a month’s worth of food in my cupboards and freezer and at least a month in vegetables in my garden. I’m not a prepper or anything I just don’t like running out of food, and I also like fresh veggies.
Plenty of neighbours to eat. Just saying…
My answer was going to be invite a 5th and 6th person over 😅
Stupid
sexytasty neighbors
I already have that.
The trick, on the first day of the emergency, is water. Get as much as you fucking can.
I’d use the mystical conjuration spells to fabricate 10 trillion snickers
You eat 37, 037, 037, 037 Snickers everyday?
I’m covered for a couple of weeks. After that, I can either leave the city, forage for food, or steal some, depending on what the state of the world is.
I load up on a basement’s worth of soylent, taters, and edible algae, and then I’d invite my two closest friends and BF.
Joke’s on all you skinny folks. I carry a month of calories on me 24/7.
Lol but what about the three hot people counting on you to secure food?
They could just eat him.
You’ll die of thirst way before hunger.
That’s called using EBT.
Living in a fixed income.The disaster hit us a long time ago.
Well if some disaster hit society presumably there won’t be orderly collection of food stamps, and also maybe grocery stores won’t be open or stocked.
Also: thinking about food security doesn’t have to be a gun prepper’s wet dream, it could be a thought experiment about mutual aid, sustainable farming or otherwise improving the world we’ve got.
Will we have access to tap water, electricity, a stove? Or do we have to eat without those things?
Open to interpretation. If society isn’t gone per se but temporarily lapsed it would be reasonable to guess some utilities might be out.
If I have access to flour and fresh water that could go a long way. I could make a sourdough loaf with just that.
Once the disaster has happened it’s already too late.
I have way over a month worth of food and water saved up so I’m good. I was already unprepaired when covid hit. Now I’m a little less unprepaired but I’m still not serious enough about prepping that I would be 100% comfortable had I actually need to rely on my stockpiles.
Giant bags of rice and beans + all the water I can carry.
Are you trying to hit the store before it’s out/closed, or are you liberating this stuff from somewhere?
Hit the store, nobody looks at the giant bags of beans and rice.
That’s one of the first things id look for in a disaster scenario.
I’m fucked. I live in a relatively dense area so I expect the grocery stores will get depleted rather quickly. Potable water will probably also be an issue, even though there is a stream within walking distance.
Kill three more people and eat for 4 months. Maybe longer if I’m not picky about what I eat.
Canned food lasts forever. Stock up. Be prepared.
