Advice for the zombie apocalypse

[Highlander 20026]

i got you all beat, i am using my tactical slingshot!

 

[evltcat]

I'm leaving the AR15 at home and taking my .22.

Strike that. I'm staying at home. I'll be in the attic or on the roof with more rounds of ammo than citizens in my town.

+1 on this... Ruger 10/22 with a nice 3 - 9x scope, and lots of mags... No need to advertise where ya are...

Never invite a guy named rick to stay with you. He won't leave without force and he'll get your people killed.

 

[nydude]

ha. I find old cans and bags of stuff in the back of the cupboard all the time and eat it years past the expiration date. It may not be Michelin rated meals, but it ain't gonna kill ya.

and crossbows are quiet.

Stock up on canned tuna. It's good to eat at least 3 years past expiration date.

I bought a case of this 10 or 15 years back:



I wonder whether it has an expiration date?

Just don't try it with Pringles. Trust me on this. There's not enough vomit in the world to wash that taste out of your mouth.

Anal only :thumbup:

Indeed.

What flavour was it just out of interest?

That stuff is like 8 to 10yr expiration so better than most

 

[JohnTheTexican]

Something with a red chili pepper on it. Maybe Xtra Spicy Chili Sauce? And I could tell by the smell that the salt and vinegar would have been just as bad.

Dear me, I strongly suggest steralising your throat using a bottle of whiskey!

 

[zombieassassin]

Whiskey! Another great item to stock up on. I just have a hard time keeping full bottles around the house.

 

[Cobalt]

I have stocked up on the only food that is known to be able to survive all disease, nuclear war and anything else. I suggest you do as well. Oh yeah, it is the TWINKIE

Good idea. Ardbeg, 10YO.

Isn't that true 😁
Tell you what,, whiskey, coffee,, would be hard to do without and easy to trade if things went South

 

[tinfoil hat timmy]

Whiskey, condoms, Twinkies... Oh yeah. Ammo.

Check,
Need,
Check,
Check

 

[xdayv]

Don't go to where the signs point to Terminus.

 

[Hindsight]

Send me your address so that I can help you protect those.

I've often wondered about the short expiration date on most canned goods. Seems puzzling to me since when I was in the Army in 1961-1964, we were eating C-rations left over from WWII that were canned in 1944! That's 17 to 20 years before we were eating them. Yet most canned goods in the stores today only have an expiration date of a year or two at most! Given advances in technology and everything else, I can't believe that the canning process isn't at least as good as it was back in the forty's. I wonder how much of the "expiration date" business is just to keep products turning over rather than actual food safety!

Expiration dates are not a health matter. They are more a general suggestion based on optimum taste/texture, and of course, as you stated, a way to "turn things over" on the shelves. Food waste in general is a massive problem in the developed world.... Not to delve into politics, which I've managed to avoid on this forum over the years, but John Oliver did a great 15 minute bit on the subject you can probably find on youtube.
