[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All of this assumes we keep electricity, which is a big assumption when talking about how long food would last in a dire situation. Even if you have a generator, it would depend on how much stored fuel you have. [/quote]

A fire and cast iron skillet works in a pinch.[/quote]

Those won’t help with the rotting food in the fridge and freezer.[/quote]

You can salt cure or smoke meats to preserve them, think lots of beef jerky. You can also hunt and gather and supplement with staples on hand like rice and beans. I’d be eating lots of soup. You definitely need shelf stable food, not just depend on what’s in the fridge or freezer. After 3 days that is pretty much out. You might be able to make some fruit leather or something if you’re creative and have lots of frozen fruit. But it would have to be summer time for that to work in large quantities. You’d be eating like a caveman, lots of meat soup, gathered mushrooms, wild berries, and would have to grow a garden to get some nutrients before winter hit again and you’re back to soup. Potatoes can last into the winter if stored properly. Buy some chickens, cows, hunt wild Turkey or deer, etc. It definitely wouldn’t be what most of us are used to. [/quote]
