IRL zomboid is worse because there are less offline resources available now than the 90s, gun ownership and reliability depend greatly on where you are in the world and what laws restrict you, population is exponentially greater, the environment is much more toxic (UNICEF doesn’t even recommend you try to boil rainwater anymore), and extreme weather makes survival in the absence of modern technology extremely difficult.
Yes, I know there is some stuff which is already everywhere, I just meant that in The Scenario i wouldn’t have to worry much about local rainwater quality, even if I was picky like that:)
This is for the time before you will have a safehous with everything powered by readily available commercial solar cells.
(just in case, anything I comment about here would only work in “everyone is a Zed but you”, because otherwise survivors, and more importantly, surviving people in power, will fubar each others and everyone else’s lives, and no long-term idea will reliably work)
Sorry, heard too many real ‘preppers’ who fetishize about buying/hoarding til they imagine not needing a dociety because their only real skill is ingratitude for all the things tjat support them.
6 months is a normal period of time after which you would like to change them.
There’s a shitton of filter cartridges everywhere, and they won’t expire, so I believe I would have more problematic stuff to deal with
ITS FUCKING EASY TO START GARDENING EVEN WITH A RELATIVELY SMALL SPACE, AND BASIC FAMILIARITY WITH PLANTS IS BOTH A USEFUL SKILL IN THE EVENT OF CIVILIZATIONAL COLLAPSE, AND, SOME STUDIES SUGGEST; GOOD FOR YOUR MENTAL HEALTH! EVEN JUST ONE POTTED PLANT; A PRETTY FLOWER OR SOME FRESH HERBS, CAN START TO PROVIDE THIS BENEFIT
now comply. You can see im not bluffing. I have more of these.
uhhhh, okay, give me the trowel.
(I have some gardening skills actually: 30 years ago me and my dad each shat under one of two firs to the sides of his summerhouse driveway. You just look at them now, I’m so proud of myself!)
A home improvement box store (in a non-crowded area) is not far from me, and there are multiple bike lanes leading to it. So, tools, pickup trucks, generators, everything

and sorry, I’m living in Denmark, so only type of noticeable pollution here is from farming
Lucky… you only have a fraction of PFAS you need to test for…

Fuck guns - super dangerous iterms of attracting ALL kinds of attention at once. branch saws as spears ftw!
Makes finding the generator and manual so much more important
Shelf life of gasoline is:

You’re half right. Read ‘a paradise made in hell’, a study of actual disasters and response to them.
Yeah, and plumbing into a filtered sink from the rain collectors too
How to make new filters?
There’s not really any effective way a layman can construct them.
(Also this is a play about the generator magazine being a mechanic of the game, in Project Zomboid, plumbing into a sink automatically filters water)

get 10 packs of filters from any store. The supply is now waaaay higher than the demand, remember?
Lasts how long?

How dare you make me start thinking about how to best connect my two rain water tanks to my house.
This will consume at least 5 minutes of good pondering time! I hope you’re happy
Now get on your knees, bitch, or ill make you think about another good long term survivability/resiliency project!
ON YOUR FUCKING KNEES! I’LL FUCKING DO IT! I FUCKING SWEAR!
Look, it didn’t even happen yet, and we already have a Walking Dead level drama!
