If everyone else was dead (eg if bird flu kills them all), then I'd be raiding their houses for their stored food. And supermarkets etc - that's where food comes from in these parts.


Something that many people don't consider is experience. How smart is it to rely on hunting if you've never hunted before even if you own a gun? I know I have the smarts to snare a rabbit but I'm sure there are others who would be much better at it than I would. I've never done so and would be winging it. Even if I caught a <insert fuzzy edible here> I wouldn't know what to do with it to properly prepare and cook it without wasting any of it.
