What does charcoal do?

He means activated carbon, I think that's what it is called in english. It's an excellent filter but very slow. A UV filter is also very nice, ultra-violet rays destroys the structure of organism(this is why get skin cancer, it's another form of radiation). You can create a UV filter by bottling water in PET(transparent plastic) bottles and leaving them out in the sun. You still have to filter garbage out of them, but you do that first of course. This is the method that makes Africa die less because they were drinking bad water from a bog and it originally came from MIT I think?

I really do think this is underplayed when it comes to famine type scenarios, a small town going hunting at once could wipe out their local forest for wildlife so most places would be completely wiped out within a weekend. At that point you'd have diminishing gains and people desperately trying to find 'the last rabbit' and getting more furious and desperate as time goes on.

Best just to have your own meat. For urbanfags, rabbits and quail are highly recommended.

I thought of another tip. Canned sardines. If you can stomach them (they really aren't that bad unless you're particularly opposed to eating seafood I like to put mustard on them) they are the best combination of nutrition, cost, and shelf life for meat. One of the few foods that has naturally occurring vitamin D!

Actually underrated, fish oils are ridiculously good for you and will give you an additional advantage against the malnourished masses trying to steal yo shit

On a side note is it worth looking into aquaculture to have a renewable meat supply thats low upkeep without having massive cows around?

Nah, charcoal tablets are for food poisoning and diarrhea

Simple solution is to hunt humans periodically. Keeps you fed, cuts down on competition, and allows time for the deer population to recover.

Humans are usually bad for eating, the faggots usually have their own ecosystems of viruses bacteria and parasites that can make you sick. Not to mention that any disease they had you can also catch since you are the same species. Case in point do you really wanna roll the dice about whether that nigga had AIDS, hepatitis or god knows what else that can potentially harm your survival odds?

water, canned fruit and veggies ( as much as you like ) and dry beans ( good in soups ) not related but pick up a gas can from your auto store since the price of fuel is getting high

In all honesty. buying and installing a large fuel storage tank when Gas was below $2 seems like it might have been a good investment at this point.

As far as something that could be useful in an apocalyptic scenario, kudzu! The leaves are perfectly edible for humans and are actually about as nutritious as common lettuces. The shit grows like crazy, so if you have some nearby, you will essentially never run out of free salad.

Have to have reliable power for the pumps and fish/plants that will thrive in your environment. I could only keep cold water trout, but someone in Florida could keep warm water tilapia. It is a substantial autistic startup cost and the time to build and manage. Nothing is free, bro. There are plenty of YT vids to get you started if you are interested though.

I have made a great stride towards my apocalypse by acquiring 4 months worth of food for myself. (I want at least a year, and preferably more for my parents too).

But, I just bought what was available (1 of each, no more) so it's not exactly a nutritious blend, it's like 30% grains, 16% just regular sugar, 42% beans, and 10% milk by calories.

I don't.
First, I never log out.
Second, if I do get logged out somehow, I have to just find a thread I know I posted in, look for my post, copy paste. I've been through this rodeo several times.

1. That's really autistic

2. Buy some wood and build a chicken coop and section off a portion of your garden to grow feed. Raising chickens is nasty but I don't see any reason against it in a post-apocalyptic scenario

I live in an apartment and nobody is surviving off a chicken coop.
I WOULD keep chickens, and berry bushes and some other things, if I did own my own propety.
