The Walking Dead, Survival Rule Of The Week: Dealing with the chaos
By Liam O'Leary
3) Learn to grow/raise/hunt/catch/make your own food.
Something we saw earlier this year when a certain disease came along and kind of sent everyone into a tailspin was that, in certain situations, supply chains have a tendency to get disrupted. A zombie apocalypse will be one such situation.
When you think about it, it makes perfect sense, I mean…why would any trucker go to a place where they’re not sure they’ll get out alive from either being swarmed by zombies, or attacked by hostiles? Frankly…they wouldn’t.
Where does that leave you? Well, after maybe a few weeks, it leaves you hungry. After a little while of that, it leaves you dead.
Luckily, that doesn’t need to be your fate, not if you’re thoroughly prepared, that is.
In this case, being prepared means knowing how to grow or raise your own food, it means knowing how to catch, hunt down, gut, and clean that food, and it means knowing how to take the edible things around you and making them in other edible things.
You see, I’ve learned that, once you get past the repugnant cesspool parts of the internet, it is actually a wonderful source of information! A couple of weeks ago, I found a video on how to harvest and prepare chocolate, for example. I never would have known where to even look for that information before the internet.
And, to you, I propose looking up videos on how to properly grow crops and vegetables, how to raise things like rabbits and fowl, and how to gut and clean animals you might hunt or any fish you might catch, this way, once the apocalypse causes the supply chain to grind to a halt, you, your family, your group, etc. don’t go hungry in a few weeks.
