Well, here's some of my ideas and extra information to add for this page. First, the extra info.Peanut Butter: It was used during the world wars as a form of food aid. High in protein and very good for the average immune system. In a survivor group there would at least be one knife set aside for culinary use. Using the knife to eat and washing the knife in between people's share would take a small while but increase hygiene drastically. The lone survivor could just use his/her hands to eat - assuming they're sanitized correctly. Onwards to food suggestion: Meat: Fresh meat would be a hassle once on the run, however if you do somehow manage to bring a small herd of sheep or cattle with you you definitely wont be sorry. Meat will be a rarity once the jerky runs out and some people will trade a lot to have a piece. (This makes it a possible bargaining item) Feeding some to your own group (non vegetarian) members would come as a great psychological benefit. Lets face it, wouldn't it be a wonder to have it after a few months of peanut butter? With most female animals, with meat comes milk, which is a great source of calcium, and a base ingredient to make complex foods. (as on Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs) The major drawback is the need for it to be eaten immediately, unless freezing / refrigeration is available. Tofu: Not much of a shelf life, and unavailable in the long term for most people (as most tofu requires refrigeration) . Tofu is filling, and high in proteins. It can substitute for meat in all but taste. Oats: Not that practical on the go, unless stored. Boiling water may be a problem, though you may eat them raw with the same nutrition. Both ways, it is filling and is one of the main food aid items Canada sends to countries in need. It is an essential famine food and is readily available for those who live in fortresses. (seasons permitting) 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you?

Fish:Assuming that you find a river with some fish life that isn't all dead from the virus, this will supplement your diet significantly. My recommended method would be to drag a net along a river. It may take a while, and certainly you will get a lot of junk, but with luck you may get multiple fish per catch. The major drawback to this would be that the fish would have to be cooked. (or at least somewhat if you or one of your group members are a sushi chef with all of the materials needed) I may add a section on gathering which I am much more knowledgeable on. My parents signed me up for a course where your dumped in the woods with a survival expert and taught everything you need to know to survive, primarily gathering. I am also an air cadet and we go out and do field exercises about once monthly. Out there we learn a lot, more of it useful than not. 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |
