Your smartphone goes off about a chemical accident that just happened in your neighborhood, whereas no one is allowed outside for the next week or so. (Unbeknownst to you, you are in the middle of a zombie outbreak.) How long do you have until food runs out?

A month. Two weeks if I have no means of cooking.

Well if I do 1000 calories a day then I have 61 days worth of olive oil alone, not to mention my canola oil and butter. Beyond that I have plenty of rice, canned goods, protein powder, multivitamin pills, etc. I'd give it 4 months

>> No.12399084

>>12399072
Can you survive on olive oil?

>> No.12399089

12 days good hydration with no activity and minimal sanitation. Low hydration and gross, much longer. Food is not a concern. Also, I have various waters to filter and sterilize water.

>allowed outside

It's a cover story to buy the government 24 hours to get VIPs to secure locations.

>> No.12399116

I have two fridges full of food, a minifridge full of homemade pickles, the two forementioned fridges have freezers which are also full of food, I have a chest freezer in the basement and, finally, I have a strongly stocked pantry about the size of a a small walk-in. The only issue is water. I only have enough for about 7 days comfortably, maybe up to 10 or 11 with rationing.
Would fruit juices be a good sub for at least some of the water? I have five 1,5l bottles of tomato juice, 2l of pineapple juice, 250ml of apple juice concentrate and 3l of cherry juice.

Depends on whether or not the power goes out. If the power goes out I'm fucked because most of my food is in the freezer. If it stays on I'll be fine as far as food goes. As for water, as soon as the alarm went off I'd start filling up the bathtub and all the plastic bottles, containers, etc I have lying around the house.

Most people are carrying enough fat to last a few weeks. If we assume a male needs 2500 calories a day, and 3500 calories = 1 lb of fat. Then for every 10lb overweight you are you have 14 days worth of calories.

The cats will make for a gamey but satisfying meal if you skin and roast them. Be sure to collect the grease for use as lip balm. The bones can be boiled with salt and any vegetable scraps to make a stock for future stews. The dog is your best friend, keeping him alive will net you more food in the long run than eating him will get you.

Months. I’m fat enough to fast 4 days a week without any real issues. Tons of canned food in my house that I neglect for fast food. A couple pets I can eat if I get desperate. I’ll just fill the tub and a few buckets with water in case utilities fail. Luckily I live on the fourth floor, so nothing can reach me easily and if things get sticky, I can kill myself.

Indefinite.

Got a stream in the back, forest for fuel, plenty of deer, and the garden is going strong.
