More supplies means more time to find new food sources. If you have two weeks supply then you start acting on desperation after the first week. If you know you have a year’s supply you are less likely to take unnecessary risks.
- Dylan16807 5y agoIn an area so big that no help is coming any time soon (because if it was, just wait a week), what new food sources? Spreading everyone out over the land and trying to set up subsistence farms is already a nightmare scenario and a year of canned food isn't enough resources to get there either. Other than that, what's going to feed everyone? And why couldn't we have gotten it set up within the first couple weeks?
- onionisafruit 5y agoIt doesn’t need to be a big area. In war, a single town can be cut off from supplies for months or years.
- Dylan16807 5y ago> months or years Where, again, for most durations in that range it doesn't matter if you have 3 weeks of food or 60 weeks of food, you're going to run out. And it's not a good situation to start setting up tons of farms either. You'd need evacuation preparedness, not more cans. Other emergency supplies would be better, and if you already have enough supplies just keeping the money around for an emergency is more likely to have a bigger impact on your life.
