/ck/ - Food & Cooking

I wouldn't expect to survive over a year in an extended apocalypse scenario (medical issues - t1d) so I just keep a few months worth of MREs in the basement and try to keep the pantry stocked.

>>20158610
Circus peanuts, candy corn, and black licorice.

a single bullet. why would you want to drag things out.

>>20158610
canned meat and veg, dried pasta and lentils

>>20158622
based. i don't know why people here are so obsessed with surviving the apocalypse. everyone likes to larp as if they will be a post-apocalyptic warlord or some shit, but the reality is life for the majority of us would be incredibly miserable if things ever got that bad

>>20158622
>>20158635
because its the idea of testing your worth or potential. If you are so life-dead, might as well be dead-dead right now, ye who have lost your taste for adventure. Its about the "I feel so alive" feel when everything is on the line and its do or dine.
>>20158610
oats.

>>20158610

>>20158610
nothing im going to be eating people day one

>>20158622
you probably want a gun to shoot that bullet too.

jerky

enough wine to build up the courage to paint the wall with my brains.

You will not survive the apocalypse. I’m sorry, but your reserve of toilet paper will not last you 1 week.

>>20158700
Shouldn't have stocked up on taco bell.

>>20158678
nice

>>20158610
>What food are you stocking your apocalypse bunker
Nothing but salt and water
Anything else I'll want fresh

>>20158678
Why baking soda?

>>20158610
I have 200 dollars worth of expired ramen from covid.
That and whatever I have on hand.

>>20158746
Why oxygen tanks?
Why toilet paper? Nigga use a rag and wash it off in the nearby stream

>>20158610
shit i actually eat
this is the biggest mistake i see people making is buying shit that they don't normally eat or even know how to prepare or buying shit like 20lbs of dried beans but no means to filter water and no salt to make them palatable

>>20158678
>>20158721
i thought bottled water expires fairly quickly due to the plastic leaching into the water

>>20158721

>>20158761
yea but its still sterile and not irradiated plus its easily bartered

I have a 10/22 with 8 or 9 boxes
I can eat for a while with that, right?

>>20158746
oral hygiene, baking

>>20158733
You aren't going to find any fresh food about a week or so once the supply chain falls apart and large scale agriculture becomes impossible to keep going. Local wildlife is going to go fast and your pussy little granny garden won't last a second. You need canned and dehydrated stuff.

>>20158687
A real man would just slowly push it throw his skull.

>>20158610
what did he eat?

>>20158635
you really should just kill yourself now and save us all the trouble then

>>20158678
>calrose
Nice

>>20158610
Whatever I have my pantry stocked with, which is plenty of canned goods, rice and flour. We have about three months of food on hand at any given time just from buying in bulk and having a pantry.

depressed retard takes. life is worth living right now probably not as much when everything is glowing. lol@the adventure guy, you were born too late buddy you should have been storming a trench in wwi.

>>20158610

>>20158610
Milk, bread and fruits.

>>20158622
Because when you're the last one standing there will be time enough at last.

>>20158610
Wtf, I just posted a thread about this last week and I got banned for 3 days?
Anyways I think a realistic disaster preparedness measure to take is having stores of water. The problem is the water going stagnant, which means it's important to be going through it constantly.
My household just uses 5-gallon water bottles that we refill at the grocery store for $2.50 each, and keep them on tap for the water cooler, that way there's always at least 30 gallons of fresh water in the house.
We're mostly concerned with natural disasters cutting off water supply for more than 3 days, but you never know what else could possibly happen.

Alcohol and tobacco, everything else is free.

>>20159262
i saged you imbecile
go back

>>20159349
you have 24 hours to live

>>20159104
its just good practice
its fine to have you finger on the trigger if cocked locked and ready to rock but the rest of the time all you're doing is increasing you odd of a accident

>>20159350
I'm killing myself right now to prove you wrong. I win.

>>20159362
go back

>>20159371
never went in the first place unlike you obviously and even /k/ will laugh at you noguns

>>20159387
you are a child

The only gun you've fired is your cock into another man's asshole.

>>20159362
All those photos of PMC bro-cenaries with Le High-Slung M-4s have probably prevented a fair number of NDs among husky Black Rifle Coffee customers, but we were watching an episode of The Walking Dead (don't even start, I know) and the actors were making a point of showing off their l337 tacticool trigger discipline in the MIDDLE OF A GUNFIGHT lol. Though to be fair maybe they just had a hardass RSO, nobody wants to get Brandon Lee'd.

>>20159408
abloo bloo bloo

>>20159411
>Though to be fair maybe they just had a hardass RSO
props to him if they did, people that didn't grow up around guns don't have a built in understanding and respect for them so they get a little loose with sweeping people and even blanks are no fun at all.

>>20158610
Crab legs, sauerkraut, canned asparagus, and onion powder. Everything the body needs.

>>20158721
that Jiff pb had better be natural, else i get heart attack

>>20159411
>M-4s
with an armalite platform rifle and half decent training you shoulder your rifle, take it off safety, and put your finger on the trigger all in the same motion. you don't lose a single millisecond from safety protocols. on the flipside you lose your foot from not following it.
they're not showing it off, you're hyper fixating on it because you spend too much time in the reddit comments section.

>>20158610
the OP image is incorrect, it was quite a bit bigger (standing room). he also had 750k in cash in there. there are videos of the spider hole

>>20158906
i said it was the idea. same reason someone likes star wars or lord of the rings or any action thing really. You think everyone who liked those things actually wants to get shot by lasers and chopped by orcs?

or tragedies, you think a theater kid actually wants to be stabbed by lady mcbeth?

>>20158610
Other survivors that's the obvious answer

>>20158746
To sterilize shit I figure

>>20158635
yeah i don't get it either. it just seems like an escapism for depressed neurotic antisocial types that have over-politicized their lives like >>20158678 surely have been. like i get the appeal of planning out all this cool shit you're going to do without actually committing to it and spending resources building it, but that's it. the whole mental side is just completely ignored. the mental anguish of knowing that you're going through an apocalyptic event and will probably not survive. you now have to do everything yourself. if anything goes wrong, you break a bone, you get terribly sick, it's over, you can't rely on society anymore. the anguish is furthermore multiplied when you have a family to worry about.

>>20160381
No, none of that is ignored.

>>20158610
As Saddam was laying in that hole, do you think it ever occured to him that not being a stereotypical dictator might have been worth it?

>>20158761
Better to drink clean water with microplastics than dirty water that'll give you diarrhea

>>20159104
Huh?

My home is basically an apocalypse bunker. I live on a narrowboat, which is 10mm of steel basically all over (except windows, which I could plug with wood). 1KW of solar panels, big diesel tank, 200L water tank, LPG gas canisters, basically off-grid. In terms of food, at any one time we probably have a couple of months worth if we were to really stretch it, and with the canals being in the countryside, there's plenty of fruit trees, farmland to pillage (providing the entire farming system hasn't gone to shit), and other food that can be foraged.
That being said, I think the whole prepper thing is p retarded. in a SHTF scenario, you're going to want community rather than an individualist, standing on my own attitude. The bad guys are gonna be organised, you better be too.

>>20160642
Every military, marksmanship school, shooting range and responsible parent in the last 100 years teach you to keep you finger off the trigger unless you're puling it.
At first it was annoying to see movies where nobody had any trigger discipline but then somewhere along the line actors started doing it but in a almost comically stiff exaggerated way then a bunch of newguns zoomers started copying it.
Kinda seems like they lost the plot and don't even know why they're doing it other then mimicking the looks and actions of military

>>20160661
>>20159104
lmao this is 4chan contrarianism at its absolute finest
>keep your finger off the trigger unless you want to destroy what your gun's pointed iat
>NOOOOO NOT LIKE THAT

>>20160668
you've never been around a person that follows the rules a little too over zealously? like someone that won't drive 5mph over the limit just to maintain pace with traffic

>>20160661
As a matter of fact, trigger discipline as we know it was not widely taught until the 1980s.
Some people still used their common sense and kept the finger off the trigger, but it was definitely not standard part of weapons training everywhere for a century.

>>20160661
I got shit on for saying this a few posts up, probably my own fault, so trying again: there is a particular military trope that has contributed to Le Trigger Discipline becoming a meme (of course it is also a GOOD THING that EVERYONE should do but still became a MEME as you explain).... and that is the image of post-Afghanistan "operators" and PMCs who get photographed at rest with a very specific pose with high-slung carbines and bent wrists that draw more attention to the finger. Everyone reading this can immediately picture it, it goes hand-in-hand with Oakleys and ballcaps and Mechanix gloves and shemaghs. It became iconic only in the past couple decades, and that is what Hollywood is copying in an exaggerated manner. Which is not to say that soldiers did not practice trigger discipline before (pic fucking related) but the media has glamorized a particular image that EMPHASIZES it as being something "experts" do.

>>20160685
>you've never been around a person that follows the rules a little too over zealously?
do you want to find out what it's like being around a person that doesn't follow the rules?

I have prepped for 3 months. If shit isn't fixed by then it is over anyway.
Also prepping means shit if you can't defend your position

>>20160707
the M-16 was designed around it in the 1950s
to quote >>20159504 regarding the AR platform
>you shoulder your rifle, take it off safety, and put your finger on the trigger all in the same motion.

>>20160770
you're talking about a person that doesn't know or understand why the rules are there so when they break them its bound to fail. Like cutting towards yourself is something you teach kids so as long as they follow it they can't fuckup and hurt themselves.
But as long as you understand why and have self control you can forgo that "rule" safely

>>20160820
you can't liken an action in a controlled environment (cutting open a box) to an action in an uncontrolled environment (operating any gun in action let alone training). one trip with your finger on the trigger and that 6 year old child spectating is gone just because you were self-conscious about looking too "reddit" to all the honeys and dudebros who barely even know who this "reddit" even is

>>20160831
in that context i fully agree but you don't need to strain you finger in hard point position to keep your finger off the trigger

>>20160901
did you see a sign on the front of my house?

>>20158635
maybe some of us want to be able to witness what happens afterwards

>>20160381
its not about some fictional zombie scenario but there are many well documented times in recent times where if you weren't prepared it might as well have been a apocalypse

>>20158994
Enjoy one week of survival I guess

>>20159463
Yeah all those people dying of peanut butter intoxication

>>20158610
It needs to last a long time, while also being nutritious. It also needs to be something you're willing to eat BEFORE the apocalypse, as you don't know when it will happen so you need to regularly rotate old stock out of your bunker and eat it.
I'm therefore thinking mostly whole grains, pickled vegetables and hard cheeses. Wrap the dry foods first in paper, then in plastic vacuum seal bags to prevent fungal spores reaching them. I'd also keep a few jars of flavoured protein powder and vitamin tablets to supplement with.
Spread the water over lots of different kegs and drums rather than keeping it in one big tank. That way if a seal fails to remain airtight you only have one bad batch of water rather than losing the whole supply.
I'd also connect a small diesel generator to the surface so I can run it underground. As long as both the intake and exhaust are isolated from the bunker's air supply it should be fine. Connect it to a hotplate and kettle and you can cook. Heating isn't so much of a problem underground as the soil will trap your body heat quite well.
Air filtration should be your top priority as there may be radioactive fallout. Fallout from conventional nuclear weapons remains lethal for around two weeks, so you need about 14-20 days worth of dust filters for your air vents. The filters will become clogged with radioactive dust particles, so you need a way of changing them without exposing your living space to that dust.

anyone have the screencap?

This has been widely debunked as bullshit, most notably by Bosnians who were there.

>>20165856
You've not used the term "strawman" correctly. I've not misrepresented zuckerberg's ideas or simplified them to the point of absurdity.
The tech world was genuinely so sickenly optimistic and willfully ignorant back then. Nobody had a problem with it. They thought they were watching visionary geniuses that would lead us to a better world.
