just buy a lot of fucking bottled water, you retahd

>>16130836
ayyy, I'm walkin' heah!

Get a lifestraw if you can. You need water to live.

>>16130833
I smoke a lot of meat. Lots of ways to do this. Watch American BBQ Showdown on Netflix. Like the Hawaiins. You can gook stuff in the ground by digging and using leaves to form a makeshift oven. You can also just use a bonfire pit with a cast iron skillet and do pretty much anything you can get your hands on with it. Get some of those high heat bbq gloves or even a campfire style tray. Make sure you have metal skewers around for desparat measures.

water filtration system if you can afford it, or some small filter to at least drink water. you can cook all sorts of ways with gas and fire, but it's all worthless if you get sick. you need clean water

Binchotan.

But you need a special charcoal to grill indoors.

>>16130833
Rain barrel. And a bucket of rinse crushed up charcoal.
Then boil the water for ten minutes.

>>16130833
You need clean water, there's no getting around that. You can cook without it but you should really keep some on hand. I fill up my old liquor bottles and label them and stick them in a closet, I had enough that I was giving water away during that ice storm that fucked Texas. You might want to look into boxed or canned broths for stuff like rice or soups so you don't dip into your drinking water to make food.

As for methods, alcohol is a great fuel and you can make a mini stove out of a couple soda cans if you have scissors and a push pin or needle or something. Sterno is gelled so you can't spill it and it comes in a can of its own but IDK if it's economical or even available wherever you are. Sterno should be damn cheap but like everything else it's been climbing in price thanks to C19. It also might not hurt to keep a charcoal grill around, I have a small one that I never use but can fall back on if my gas ever goes out or whatever.

Costa Rica?

Stock up on canned beans, lentils, tomatoes, etc, since they contain liquid.

>spending a fortune autistically prepping for fantasy scenarios like a LARPing schizo
The number one rule of happenings is that they don't happen.

>>16131640
> autistically missing the point

Gasoline can be gotten at any one of a bazillion gas stations (prior to the shit hitting the fan) whereas alcohol has to be gotten from a hardware store.

>Throwing buzzwords at me as if I'm telling OP to build a bunker instead of just buying some canned goods and common camping supplies
>Coming into a thread by an OP whose shit apparently gets occasionally rocked by hurricanes to say that nothing ever happens
Yeah the happening isn't going to happen until long after I'm dead and no amount of beans will save anyone but your dumb ass is the only one talking about that.

>>16131860
Looks like I struck a nerve, LARPer. Don't worry, your mommy told me she thinks you look really cool decked out in all your pretend gear, so it's not all a waste.

>>16131876
Dude I just bottle water using bottles I was otherwise going to recycle and buy pasta to put in my pantry. Chill out.

>>16131857
And it didn't occur to you that maybe I thought it'd be redundant to bring up what's arguably the most well known and widely available substance on Earth? Maybe except for kerosene.

lifestraws are meme garbage, get a sawyer. You can set it up to gravity filter, and then all you need are two containers and some patience.

>>16131775
>for fantasy scenarios
Nigger do you even understand how many countries have collapsed in the past century?

>>16131923
No one cares about distant shitholes. They are not relevant to normal planning or decision making.

>>16131932
Nigger do you understand how many natural disasters have occurred completely knocking out all utilities and stopping all deliveries for weeks?

>>16131940
Just shit they put on TV. Never happened to me, never happened to anyone I know. Not relevant, not real. Simple as.

>>16131901
>most well known and widely available substance
*widely available flammable substance

>>16131857
Just so you know that thing is a total piece of garbage, and very expensive.

>>16131876
Shut the fuck up retarded fatty, go bait somewhere else.

>>16130833
I collect 5 gallon buckets of rainwater and use a carbon filter. I cant stand the taste of tap water here.

No electricity means use a wood cook stove, fat is your friend, salt is your friend, dry sunny days are your friend, air tight jars are your friend.
