As a gun owner who has no objections to eating people in survival situations, I'm not worried that all the food in my house is fresh and quickly perishable. But thanks for saving some food for me when I'm done with you.

Instead of trying to survive the death squads, have you considered not being the sort of person that people want to be rid of?

I bought a pallet of expired sardines from a restaurant supply auction site for about $40. This should last me until the sun burns out.

City of Tampa posted: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 I Freaked out a little at y2k and spend all my savings (like $1200) on a cheap Bulgarian pistol, 100 tabs of lsd, and like maybe a 1/4 ounce of blow. While everyone else was hungover and scared, I was going to be hyperaware and ready to take over. Then the lights didn't go out, so we just had a rad as gently caress party in the sandunes.

I watched one of those nat geo prepper shows, and stole one of the ideas. I have two Home Depot orange 5 gallon buckets with lids, each filled with 35 lbs of dehydrated and canned food. I'd like to do a third with basic backpacking stove, hand-pump/filter, matches, knives, etc. There's just about 14,000 calories in each one, so at least seven days each for one person. Cost was ~ $45 each. The food does need to be cycled out ever 3-4 years. I actually wrote it all into a spreadsheet cause I'm a huge nerd.

I think most people don't consider how difficult starting a fire is. Extra fuel and matches are seriously the way to go.

The U.S. military is super fond of labeling everything really really clearly as if future America is going to unseal a thousand year old crypt and be able to identify and use the clearly marked FOOD: EAT, MOUTH, GOOD YUM and HAT: WOOL, FACE WEARING, GREEN, FOR MAKE WARMTH WITH ON HEAD IF COLD SN22528-10x23 madeinchina

please dont do this, my girlfriends uncle recently passed away and he got big into the whole "prepper" thing before he did which made 0 sense because he had stage 4 cancer but holy gently caress is it a pain in the rear end to throw everything away he had just buckets and buckets of rice and beans from God knows when and cans of food that were like 4 years expired and probably close to 100 bottles of ocean spray cranberry juice that had been emptied out and filled with water, dont place this burden on your loved ones just die like a normal person

This is assuming your place did not fall down and is safe

Buy an expandable rubber sewer plug that fits your main. If there's a serious disaster, sewer pumps power down and everything goes to gravity feed which means that everybody's poo poo uphill from you is going to backflow into your house.

Your place might fall down and not be safe SO: Make a backpack kit, imagine you are going to camp overnight for three nights in bad weather: Per person: -One change clothes -several pairs socks -long underwear top/bottom -full body hooded rain poncho (military ones work well if you don't mind looking stupid) -tarp and rope to improvise tent (takes up little space) -those disposable tinfoil space blanket things -water bottle and way to purify water -two ways to start fire (don't start a fire though probably) -flashlight/batteries -notebook of personal info like banking etc -a whole bunch of granola bars -some cash in $5 and $10's -have a place to go, plan with loved ones For like $50 bucks you now won't immediately die of thirst or exposure as you grab this backpack and jump out of bed and run outside in your jammies Fun fact, 11 crumpled $1 bills kept in your front pocket and handed to a mugger looks like a lot of cash Another fun fact, a metal medical cane is not legally a weapon and yet can wonk someone over the head pretty good if you had too

I've got a couple buckets of Moutain House food bags that are supposed to last 10+ years and a bunch of bottled water. Probably enough for a week's worth of food and water. Just have them in case of a huge snowstorm or natural disaster or emergency strands me in my apartment for a while so I don't have to wander out and start looting stuff or freezing to death trying to get to a grocery store. I figure if anything is bad enough that I need more then that, then I am just going to resign myself to being a skull on some raider's car hood. edit: Not gonna lie, I put together my disaster stuff after hearing KRS-One's Disaster Kit song. a_gelatinous_cube fucked around with this message at 08:39 on Apr 5, 2016 |

I want to prepare for the end. I always thought preppers were crazy but when my crazy friend showed me all his stuff, I realized I'm going to die like a bitch while he's also probably dying like a bitch but has a much better chance at living than I do, and he definitely won't die hungry.

When poo poo goes down, you better have some dehydrated food, fill your bathtub to the brim with water, lock your house and load your gun. e: My grandfather also left me a WW2 bolt action rifle and a bunch of ammo. So if poo poo goes down I'll reenact myself some Private Ryan poo poo.

Wife works for the CDC so at the bottom of a closet somewhere in a big airtight box we have a CDC-recommended reserve of: Foods that last for six months: boxed potatoes dried fruit crackers powdered milk Foods that last for about 1 year: canned soup/fruits/vegetables/juice/nuts peanut butter and jelly cereal, oatmeal Foods that last many years: bouillon cubes, seasoning packets dried corn dry pasta rice tea/cocoa packets along with a lot of bottled water and tools like can opener, camping stove, fuel, chlorine tablets, etc. As for the why, take your pick really. Natural disaster, infrastructural disaster, social collapse (any number of things can cause this), thermonuclear exchange, a few inches of ice on Atlanta roadways, whatever. The exact mechanism for why you might not have electricity or running water for a long while is less important at the citizens' end than getting them to prepare meaningfully for anything at all instead of just buying more guns and freaking out. edit: my call for "most likely apocalyptic scenario" is a pandemic-triggered social collapse, like in The Division. Society breaks down pretty rapidly if just half of everyone stays home. You don't need half of them to die (although bioweapons could get that done too), just to be sick enough for long enough, or obliged to care for a loved one who is.

Although my mom lives pretty close and has bought close to $10,000 of buckets filled with dehydrated food from Jim Bakker (approximately twenty-one years worth of food for four people) along with gas masks, guns, and a replica of the horn of David from the Bible so who knows. Maybe I'll be alright. I'm not sure if there will actually be raider gangs or not. Has the media twisted my perception of the apocalypse? Will humanity lend a helping hand to its neighbor?
