You'd die of dehydration in around 5 -10 days.

ArbitraryC posted:Out of curiosity what are the drums made of, I pretty much immediately pictured a regular old oil drum when you said 55 gallons but I'm guessing it's probably not that. That's what they are. You can buy them new. I have one with the lid that can be completely removed for the dry goods, and one with regular tap openings for water.

Four cans of Tuna, and a spool of fishing line. I may have a couple of good spark plugs too, but I better need a hemorrhoid pillow afterwards.

Keep an eye on them. My folks kept animal feed in those metal ones because they are great for keeping rodents out, but they rusted through surprisingly quickly when kept outside.

Mandator posted:Seems like one of those straws that turns stagnant poo poo water into drinkable water would be a good addition to every emergency kit ever. I bought a big ol family size lifestraw thing when Groupon had a promotion to send a 2nd one to a African village. So, like, even if I never use mine, at least someone got to use the other one to make their life better or w/e.

I quietly believe those filter straws are actually a more cruel version of hot pepper gag gum. They give you one and are like "Ohhh yeaaah, go ahead and suck up the sludge in that mud puddle there" then they stand back and giggle while you take a long draw on an E Coli cocktail.

I was taking the garbage out last fall and noticed someone had thrown two cases of MREs in the dumster. I pulled them out and stuck them in my pantry. Sure they are a couple of years expired but I've seen people eat MRE's from the early 90's on YouTube and survive. I'm good to go.

I have a rock that is chipped to be used to smash bones and I can break rocks into flakes to embed in a point stick turning my pointy stick into a pointy sharp rock stick. I will hunt man and beast alike with these and feast on their flesh like a cannibal caveman, I will have no need for dehydrated food.

I already have guns and when I'm less broke I plan to get myself some shelf-stable food (stuff's surprisingly expensive) and water and stuff. I want them because my neck of the woods is overdue for a massive earthquake that'd undoubtedly gently caress a lot of things up and it could happen any day now (part of our waterfront is projected to collapse into the water entirely). I'd rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it. I just want to protect myself and my friends, and anyone else I can reasonably help out.

I live near an REI store and sometimes go there to look at the rock wall and wide selection of camping food. Then it's fun to leave without purchasing anything.

Mandator posted:having an emergency supply of food really doesn't seem like a bad idea If you were raised in an earthquake area it is pretty much drilled into you in primary school. Also Costco sells prepackaged survival stuff. REI too for camping and such but at a much higher markup because REI. Most socalifornians try to have survival equipment (medical kit, heat trapping blanket, cliff bars or whatever, batteries and cash) in their car as well.

Honestly the firearm and ammunition is higher priority than food and water. Because of the obvious.

Helical Nightmares posted:Honestly the firearm and ammunition is higher priority than food and water. Because of the obvious. I purchased them when I had more money and was not living off of a pretty small amount of it. At the time I hadn't done any disaster preparedness planning, I just liked target shooting. When I do have more money, I will get it. I mean, I do have a get-my-rear end-to-another-city bag ready, just not stuff for sheltering in place yet. And yeah I was figuring worst case scenario is I can trade protection for food until the national guard shows up or something. Big-rear end earthquakes are serious business. Hopefully I'll never have to!

you'd probably be a lot better off storing large amounts of alcohol because you can trade it for whatever you need. if you get vodka in glass bottles it should last pretty much forever, and having a large stockpile of it will make you a post-apocalypse millionaire
