Well, yes, in that case, you might want to consider getting a gun.

Edit to add: As mentioned above see if you have a LSD food pantry/food storage center nearby. That stuff is well packed, better than you can do at home.

You can buy 20 pound bags of pinto beans that will last indefinitely when stored in a cool, dry place. Dried black beans, too. Quite nutritious.

Cooking oil. Salt. Rice. Canned corn. Canned ham.

Peasant food will get you through and you don't have to have some pre-packaged, over-priced "survival food".

Last week my house had a slab leak (water leak under the house) and my water main was turned off for 6 days before the repair was made and the water main turned back on.
Have a river nearby and have backpacking water purification pump. Been usung them for decades.
I keep about 50 gallons of water on hand. Conventional advice is that you will need 1 gallon per day. Bull-puckey !!!! I drink a little over a gallon a day. I also had to wash my hands, brush my teeth, and my kitty needs water every day too.

Fortunately I have the keys to an empty family house nearby so I went there daily to shower. I really did not have to rough it, I just used this as a learning and teaching moment for me.

And not to be gross, but you need to consider water needed for toilet use, including santizing your hands and washing them. Fortunately I have an old camping toilet that worked well enough.

Water Water Water, if you don't have water within 3 days you will be DEAD.

Best wishes to you.
