Hunger is something most people won't consider as a strongly possible threat. However, there are thousands of people dying of famine every year. In another words at least based on that you may consider getting yourself prepared to such an unfortunate scenario. Furthermore, even the most informed political scientist can't really predict further development of current situation on Middle East during next years. Meaning that as of today with our society possessing enough nuclear power to destroy the entire planet and global warming chasing our shadow any post-apocalyptic chain of events needs to be considered at least relatively possible.
Storing
The most important thing to do while surviving hunger is planing in advance. During a disaster always carefully ration your supplies even if it seems that you have enough of them for quite a long term. However, starting your preparations in advance will certainly bring you on a whole new level of survival. There is a separate section on page... giving you the most important principles of food storage. It has become a separate section of this guide for it's equally needed not only for hunger survival but shelter preparation and general disaster plan's development as well.
Growing
- During a mass-starvation stored supplies will most likely be the main part f your ration. However, even if it seems that you have enough supplies for a relatively long period it's a good idea to produce an additional amount for no one can really see the future.
- First of all you should know things about growing. Unfortunately such complex matter lies beyond main subject of this guide. Depending on your concern you will obviously decide your own level of involvement during an additional research if you find it necessary.
Hunting
- Considering area you're living in hunting may become an important source of food supplies in times of mass-starvation even if such difficult way of survival won't probably always go as planed.
- Make sure that your hunting tools are authorized by local authorities for even during a global social collapse it is important to maintain a civilian order. However, there are some hunting accessories which generally can be used without any kind of license. Such as fishing pole, rabbit trap, crabbing gear and others.
- Making natural survival one of your hobbies may become useful in context of any global disaster. For instance if famine appeared as a consequent of nuclear catastrophe you may consider a possibility to avoid social chaos and nuclear radiation by over-waiting it as far as possible from civilization.
Other important actions
- It is extremely important to have a certain amount of cash in case of emergency as credit cards may not be available for a long term after disaster.
It won't be unnecessary precaution to also consider a possibility of self-defense. History carries many examples when a global social collapse easily makes people capable of cruel acts of violence.
