  • The goal of such recommendations is not to ensure people can survive 72 hours without access to additional supplies, but to ensure that the society as a whole can function at such a situation - that requires a lot more than just a drop of water and barely enough calories to stay alive. If the enemy can collapse your society just by destroying a couple of power plants and water treatment facilities, you’ve already lost the war. Or climate change, or blizzard or what ever it is you are facing.

    That being said, I do agree that the food you store doesn’t need to be anything special or tasty - just something to keep you working your job and taking care of those that depend on you.


  • Strangely enough, this works in Finnish too:

    Uida - to swim

    Uittaa - to make someone or something swim

    Uitattaa - to make someone make someone swim

    Uitattattattattattattattattattaa - to make someone make someone make someone … make someone swim

    It’s almost as if they are related languages or something.
