aw yeah, motherfucking Cheerwine! though Blenheim’s is a little more my speed.
Sadly can’t claim it, they’re South Carolinian.
This is how you died…
I’m… Not sure I get it.
This was probably produced some time before 2022 and was the attempt at a very short apocalyptic horror story.
I think it’s a reference to the Project Zomboid game.
Hmm, perhaps. Thank you.
- Everything went to shit anyway
- I have higher than average survival skills
- I am a cyclist in an area with alot of trails and not so many people
I’d say I would give an IRL Zomboid a try
Not me. I played “what if zombies” a few times in my head, and have come to the conclusion the best place to be is the factory I used to work at, and I fucking hate it there with every fibre of my being.
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.
Fuck guns - super dangerous iterms of attracting ALL kinds of attention at once. branch saws as spears ftw!
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…
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:)
Makes finding the generator and manual so much more important
Shelf life of gasoline is:
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)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)
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.
get 10 packs of filters from any store. The supply is now waaaay higher than the demand, remember?
Lasts how long?
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
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!
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.
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
