[QUOTE="Beholder, post: 231679, member: 14640"] If my power goes out, I still have sweet soy drinks lasting a year without refrigeration and half of my freezer filled with pre-pandemic water for sponge baths and doing dishes. Have a large supply of canned food and an alcohol powered camping kitchen. I'm used to handle poo without a sewer system at our mountain cabin, so you just sprinkle a little cat sand on top of it and make compost of it with a shovel when there are more than 100 flies gathering. Feces are great fertilization, but urine is too concentrated, so it has to be dilluted with regular soil. Clothes can be cleaned using buckets of rain water from the roof. Just have to get rid of dirt floating at the top before use. If it happens to rain, take off your clothes and take out the shampoo for a free shower. If soap runs out, one can use animal fat and ashes to create non-synthetic soap with multiple chemical steps and dangerous explosions from mixing acids with bases. (Protection needed) Without electricity, one can build a fireplace and chop wood for cooking. Due to the extreme energy needed to cut down trees and time needed to dry firewood, it's good to have a stash of wood and old newspapers for making fires easily once food is scarce. Fishing or hunting equipment will be needed if food runs low, but by then it might be better to flee the country with an emergency bag, because others will have the same idea. Mushrooms in a nearby forest might last the first week of mass starvation, but there are often more berries than people can pick. High rubber boots are needed against snakes if going deep into a forest. Don't forget that snakes are food too. If all the conventional food sources are depleted, some common tree types have edible parts used to make tea, which I usually just eat directly as a sweet snack. One can also dive for edible types of weaweed, which is commonly used in Asian food. One can use a straw of grass, roll it over ants while playing a wounded insect, then crush, wash and eat them. Be careful with their strong acids. Some frogs don't fear humans at all, making them easy prey for French cousine. [/QUOTE]
