Little twist to the usual apocalypse threads. If an event happened that forced everyone to live “off grid”, how long could you make it? In this scenario other people are not a threat. This is strictly you surviving by your own sheer will.
What kind of stuff do I get to start out with? Like, is everyone else gone and I can rummage through houses and stores? Because if so, I could live a very, very long time. However, if I'm only starting the game with like a hatchet and fishing line, I'd probably just use the hatched to kill myself because there's no way I'm making it more than a few weeks.

Where's the twist?
A twist would be "how long could you survive if you had lasagna noodles attached to your fingers."

I keep a ninety day supply of dry beans and rice, cheap easily stored
I have a crossman BB gun good for shooting pelicans and seagulls for protein . 30,000 bbs fits in a shoe box
Fish including hardheads are plentiful
Security backed up with 2nd amendment.
A couple solar array panels for charging hand tools and chainsaw
motorcycle for fuel limited transportation
Perry's chemical engineers handbook for how things work
Atlas Shrugged book for how people think
Bible for moral standards

I’m going to rant. Please forgive me. I don’t think you would last a day. I get typos. I get errors in a post. I really do. It happens. frick, I might have a typo in this post. But how in the everfricking hell can you frick up the thread title?

I could last a good while if I don’t off myself from boredom. I would have power to run my fridge/freezer for 5-7 years, access to fish from Lake P, and citrus from my garden. Between rain and my 1 gallon distiller, I’d have drinking water.

So you’d have nothing from that for the last 6 months.

How Long Could Survive
On his stored body fat

Why are the deer and squirrels going away? They wouldn’t be my food source anyway, but just wondering why they are gone. What about pigs? Wild and domestic.

I’m surrounded by a few thousand acres of farmland and about a half a mile from the Tennessee River so I would have all the resources I need to survive a while. Just don’t know how long I would want to do it.

My biggest takeaway from Alone is that you can’t survive long term with regular game and foraging. You need the fats and nutrients from fish to at least maintain your current weight.
Why do you need to maintain your current weight? I didn’t see the show, but you can survive on game and foraging. Any argument to the contrary is provably nonsense.

The game will be gone in 2 weeks. And in a month there won’t be squirrels, birds, fish nor insects left to eat.
Well, this is BS. China does this right now (eating everything in sight) and the birds, rats, fish, etc. Still exist over there.

If no other humans were around, then okay. But as long as there were humans you’d want to live.

My neighbor down the road has one of those doom day bunkers so we should be ok. Would be miserable though.

Indefinitely ... having prepared for my immediate family totalling around a dozen ... probably picking up a couple of arrivals eventually. Given the remote location where I live most of the time .... literally Indefinitely.
Location is everything though and there will always be people problems.

Right? All of the sudden everyone will become proficient hunters and fishermen? This is the part I don’t get.
Posted on 9/28/23 at 10:41 pm to GAFF
I have a farm. There is plenty of water and firewood. Hunting, fishing, and gardening will produce enough food for survival. Having no electricity would suck though.

Other people aren’t coming after me? Don’t have to pay taxes? Don’t have to work? I’m assuming no water, no gas, no power?
10-12 days max.

Nvm. I’m retarded. I’d live for a long time until the mosquitos ate me to death
