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.
Open cellar door, pick up box of emergency food. Done. It’s not going to be enjoyable, living on rice, emergency bars and vitamin pills for a month, but it’s preferable to starving.
Yeah, one lesson we all should’ve learned from the start of the pandemic is that you should have a cache of some basics in your home or apartment that can keep you stable for a few weeks at least. So you can avoid getting embroiled in the chaos of human stupidity that unfolds in public. It won’t sustain you forever but it will give you a chance to make rational decisions.
You won’t get a chance to do that stuff after whatever event is going to happen has started.
for best chances you should still actively pursue securing further rations, just less desperately.
