The person with 2 years of food storage and no relationships is less resilient than the person with 2 months of storage and a neighborhood that gives a shit about each other.

@k3ym0 More people need to realize this.
@k3ym0 *The* lesson from Covid. The people who were killed in the greatest numbers were those away from community and society. An old age person in their own home, with their neighbours doing the shop run, were far more likely to survive than a counterpart on a farm or in a residential home.

@k3ym0 What about the person with half a day of food storage and no relationships?

... asking for a frie... uhh, errm.. a person I know.

@k3ym0 from asking around, approximately nobody has two months of food storage though. Yes, relationships are far more valuable in the long term, but they won't help if everyone you love starves or dies of thirst after two weeks. Please still have a bare minimum of disaster preparedness.

@k3ym0

tell that to Manousos Oviedo.

@k3ym0

no, but seriously, I agree witchoo 100%.

love thy neighbor and live longer.

@k3ym0 Still tryin' to learn my neighbors' names.
@k3ym0 @davep realistically, a person could survive a couple months without food, but will perish from dehydration in a few days without water. But I agree, it takes a village of people to survive for much longer. So go find a village or build one; preferably a village with diversified skill sets. And always have a means to acquire drinkable water!

I've got a British Berkefeld gravity filter, but there's also a spring about 10 metres from our house (which is handy!).

@Bytesnagger
Finding a very of such a kind is difficult. How can such a village be created?

@k3ym0
My dad panic buys everything Alex Jones hawks. It's been awhile, but last time I saw his place, it was packed with boxes and boxes of shit. Most of them didn't even look opened and I'm positive he didn't keep any kind of inventory, yet he's convinced he'll be well-prepared when the apocalypse hits (which has been just around the corner for decades).

I told him that it's always communities that survive disasters, not individuals, and asked him how many of his neighbors he knows. None. Not a single one. Again, that was years ago, but I'm positive nothing has changed.

@k3ym0 I plan to die right away to not burden anyone.
