For me it's hunting and long range shooting. Being able to hunt, accurately shoot 1000 yards, having 1000 ammo pieces and handloading set, 150 lbs of frozen and/or dried meet (a small deer weights that much). Hunting gear is a great survival gear as well.
Besides that fireplace, solar panels, heat pump, well insulated house, something for water, maybe add some knowledge about local flora and you can survive many years on that.
- hollerith 5y agoYou can survive by hunting as long as not too many others are doing the same thing.

- kozikow 5y agoOne bullet can last you very long time. I have been eating the same deer as a single source of meat since January and I'm not even half there yet. Add some means of meat conservation and you could easily last a year on less than 10 bullets. I don't have a prepper ways to conservate meat though (sausage drying, vacuum sealing and solar panels powered freezer probably wouldn't work).
- throwaway6532 5y agoDamn. That's incredible.
- kozikow 5y agoBig deer or boar can weight over 300 pounds. About 2/3 is edible. Let's say one pound of lean meat is 800 kcal. And daily intake is 2000 kcal. Assuming eating only meat that's 80 days of calories.
