Spotted this on DU, but I thought the Lounge might enjoy it.

30 days. I don't get it though. The only thing I don't have is a generator. I have tons of food, blankets, water, wood, blah blah blah.... I could make it forever.

Did you enter the right amount of food? I was missing a few things, so I think it must be the food quantities which make the difference.

I have already spent 10 days for real stuck in this place and I'm certain that going longer wouldn't have been to much of an issue. Its just a matter of how much longer.

Well that's two mods now, so looks like CC will withstand some pretty drastic events. Last one standing gets to be Admin. :lmao:

We could add a week or so onto that if we eat our kids. :-)

Wasn't that why you had them? :-)

hmmm...would my kids have to survive, too??? "Cause I don't think we could all survive trapped in here for more than say, 4 hours tops without someone killing someone else!!

yeah, we've done stints of between 4 and 7 days before, but not in this house. we actually rather liked not having the phone ringing :-)
i'll have to take the test and see how we do...

I am a moron!!!!! I didn't even see the thing to put in how many pounds of food you have. :thatsright:

I think it's largely determined by the amount of non-perishable food in the house and number of occupants.
I have circa 200 lbs of "non-perishable" food at any one time (I rotate stuff through the stockpile) , have everything on the list except the leather furniture and the antibiotics, and there's only one person living here. I also have well in of 100lbs of frozen dead animals in my freezers.
Leaves me a result of 493 days.
They forget the most important factor of all though.
Toilet Paper.
I only have a month of so supply of THAT stuff, and once it runs out : I'm making a run for the store :-)
-
Well don't forget to count family members as a food source because Ted Turner said we'll eat each other. :-)

Oh, should have posted my results, though I just went by what my family back in Atlanta has.
We could survive about 130 days.

You should check out if LCEFA or asdf need a roommate or lodger. Otherwise you will be the first CC casualty of the impending catastrophe :-)

This little questionaire leaves out a very important item. How much potable water do you have in gallons. Or does it assume that an unending water supply is a given?

The municipal water treatment system is supposed to magically stay online. :whatever:
'The Stand' has a pretty good treatment of a TEOTWAWKI scenario. I especially love the chapter on "naturally occuring" deaths.

Exactly my point. I guess the same goes for electricity for those that have 100s of pound of food in the freezer.
For those with generators on hand... How many gallons of gas to you have stored for it?
