[Misc] In apocalyptic scenario... how long could your household survive without leaving the home?

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

You should be ok till survivors turn up having taken the choicest beasts from Drusilla's Zoo.
I think we already have threads on "Hardest Animals" by way of advice.

After a nuclear holocaust?
My money is on the cockroach.

 

[dejavuatbtn]

Yep, depends on when the wine runs out.

 

[MTSeagulls]

Telly Savalas?
He's dead.

Anyway, what will you feed all those animals with?

I feed them the corn and millet I grow along with any fruit that has fallen.
Pigs that have eaten cashew apples for a few months are delicious

I'm old enough to actually remember the last time an apocalypse happened, and I managed to survive it.

If I can remember the date correctly, it was around March/April 2020.

On the basis of that experience, am I really the only person on here whose first thought was "how much toilet paper have I got?" ??

Would twats bang saucepans once a week if we got nuked?

How would you cook the pasta?

It’d be pissta, judging by most of the replies so far.

I wonder why so many posters on this forum suffer from anxiety and depression..?

I do hope this cheerful thread helps them.

I've got five apple trees, several growing beds with spuds, carrots etc.
I've also got about 2000 litres of water in water butts around the garden.

I reckon I'd last until the biscuits run out

I always think, a loft is a great defensive position right?

Get up there early with your supplies and a radio and ride out the storm

If it's zombies they ain't getting up there any time soon. You can always screw the hatch down and/or barricade it with all the random shit up there. You're pretty much invulnerable. Maybe a battery powered angle grinder though in case you need to cut your way onto the rooftops in a dire emergency

The good news: a domestic swimming pool holds the best part of 80,000 litres of water
The bad news: it's full of chlorine

 

[The Clamp]

You’ll definitely need

Night vision goggles
Lots of steel plating
Soundproofing for the generator
Lots of guns.

 

[Lenny Rider]

To be fair to the OP, its all fairly clear cut apparently, with Portsmouth Naval Base, Shoreham Harbour and Gatwick Airports all alleged targets, it'll all be over for all of us pretty quickly

Those of you relying on rainwater or a nearby stream for your survival, need to have a read of this!

When the bombs start falling, I'll be running towards them. I have no wish to survive the apocalypse.
