I would definitely vomit.
I can grow vegetables just about anywhere. Even a city has soil, and seeds are easy to acquire.
Though I would rather eat a farm animal if it came to it I would eat my cats. However I do know where some cows are, they are not my cows but perhaps I would be a bad person and go slay one, drag it back to my house and spend a few days processing it. Of course I would need help, they are heavy.
I do have 40 kg of dried beans in my garage though so I think it might take a while to get to that. Of course I might not choose to use so much clean water cooking them if water was scarce. Still it rains all the time here so let's just pretend water isn't too scarce, though no bathing except for standing in the rain naked.
I would immediately start planting stuff, traveling far and wide to obtain canned food and stripping the forest bare of bush food. I would probably do the cans first, plant at night and only do the forest if I had no can runs for the day as there are only so many ferns you can eat.
Ah right, got ya. So you're thinking of some form of global catastrophic event?
Watch this film then to find out what would happen.
...Snap their necks quickly...
But don't you want to get ahead? You don't want at week 4 to be competing with all the other desperate people who ran out of cans, you want to be eating protein every day you can and saving your cans for emergencies.
Now actual disaster where you expect the government to show up in a week and give you food, sure I would live off what's in the house. I wouldn't kill anything. I don't need to eat meat. But enormous catastrophe where you think no one is ever going to come, I would have zero problem snapping a pigeon's neck on day one. Every day I could bring in food for my family and not eat what I had stored would be a good day.
As to how to snap their necks, well you break chicken wings when you're eating them. It's probably easier than that.
Could you really just catch a pigeon and snap its neck, a day or 2 after the catastrophe? Remember, this is something you've never done before.
I wouldn't even know how to snap their necks quickly, let alone stomach the idea of doing it in the first place.
Then, grow a pair and do it yourself.I would just go to a farm and buy it there.
Or it would be like before supermarkets and we'd have butchers, bakers and candle stick makers!
Yes, but those things take time to come about. These are the initial weeks, after supermarkets have been destroyed. I guess this is a Katrina level event, we're talking about here, which would mean no farms either. No one's going to be hunting for you.
I can grow vegetables just about anywhere. Even a city has soil, and seeds are easy to acquire.
But you wouldn't be able to, in this scenario. Crops take time to grow. This is 1 day to 1 month after the catastrophe. Where are you getting these seeds, anyway?
Squirrels is tasty!. . . Eating stray pets, squirrels and pigeons is not the only alternative! There are ... other ... options.
I am just regular folk but I would eat my cats and cut off a limb.
Really. Most people will. You don't know how strong the survival instinct is until you actually have to survive.
Squirrels is tasty!
