Okay guys. Lets talk doomsday hypotheticals. For the purpose of humor and entertainment, let's assume the world has succumbed to Zombie Invasion (in reality, this could be invasion by a foreign power, social collapse, or a post-apocalyptic scenario) The main focus of this thread will be non-weapon oriented, as I already have a good idea, and a relatively well stocked set-up where that is concerned. If you want to add any thoughts along that line though, thats fine. Just follow the sample post below.
The main focus of this thread will be food and water supply and storage ideas. Requirements for food and hydration needs for a group of people. The secondary focus will be miscellaneous supplies such as medicine, equipment, etc. The optional focus are weapons. Firearms, hand weapons, traps, caliber discussions, etc. TO keep it organized lets give an introduction with any facts or theories that you have concerning the discussion, then list out categories and supply lists.
SAMPLE:
My research indicates that a person can survive on x amount of food a day, and x amount of water, but to remain in good health, they should have x amount of food, and x amount of water.
My lists assume you live in a moderate climate, of reasonably navigable terrain.
Food: (per person, or per group)
list items and any particular reasons here.
Equipment/Misc Supplies:
list any items, reasons here, think camping equipment, navigation aids, vehicles, first aid, medical suuplies, etc.
Weaponry:
list any ideas, suggestions and the reasons behind such here.
Again, the focus of this thread is the storage of how much and what types of food for a short term or long term survival/seige situation. I want a reasonably realistic interaction here. I think most people are familiar with the basics such as MRE's but don't leave these out of your lists. What type of food? how long will it keep on a shelf? these are the things I am looking for.
