SHTF – #SurvivalMonths Challenge

SurvivalMonths

October 14th – December 14th

Some people have asked about my #SurvivalMonths challenge, so here’s an explanation. No I’m not doing a wilderness survival series quite yet, but I probably will sometime in the near future. That will take some preparation to get cameras etc.. in order.

Survival months this time is based on #SurvivalWeek from MDA. I don’t drink and I’m already well below the carb limitations of the MDA challenge. I think my highest has been 25 (and it really wasn’t since my Kombucha is probably zero carb, as it’s fermented to almost vinegar). I don’t eat sweets and except for my 6WC shakes & taste sampling while making cheese, I’m dairy free. I also already fast 18-26 hours most every day.

So the “Shit Hits The Fan” – Stock market crashes, Russians invade, whatever! Grocery stores are not available. Maybe Grok is just having a very cold winter and food is extremely scarce. He has to survive on what little he already had…. This is the inspiration.

Details:

  • I did no pre-shopping except some eggs & butter. 
  • In a real SHTF situation it’s unlikely you’d get to pre-shop.
  • It had been roughly 3 weeks since I’d shopped before that.
  • No groceries may be purchased except Raw Milk to keep my kefir alive.
  • I wont be consuming this milk. I’ll be making cheese for later instead.
  • I can aquire food.
  • Acquired food is from hunting, gathering or talk someone out of it for free.
  • Other than that… I’m living off of what I already have. Which isn’t very much!

The only thing that sucks is… I really want raw eggs during my dieting on The 6WC! I guess I’ll steal them from my parents? I can easily talk them out of food. Is that allowed? Ha-ha!

    Update:
    It’s been 5 weeks and 2 days. Since I bought groceries.

    I ran out of coconut oil last night. Coconut oil is a vital part of my 6 Week Cure Diet right now, so I broke down and bought coconut oil today.

    Update:
    Purchased one avocado from a roadside stand. What? It was perfectly ripe, 75 cents, and I had a buck in my wallet!

    I ate it right away like a treat. No rationing :)

    Going to make it no problem. Thanksgiving bought me a few days.
