Assuming me and my family survive the coming armageddon, what would I need to do in order to survive on the extra 25kg I have fortuitously stored aound my upper body and neck?.
I am assuming I would need basics like Water, Salt, vit c? Anything else?

Assuming the kids do not kill me and eat me first.

Thought thread was about looking at warships.

From extensive research conducted through playing Fallout games for a long time you’ll mainly need a really big bag. This is to ensure you don’t become over encumbered from all the random tat you’ll needlessly loot from old buildings, corpses and radioactive wildlife.

I’m very good with a real bow …. Dont go Full Recurve :-).

Plus its illegal to hunt in the UK with a bow…. but world events may change this.

Better make up some more arrows 😉

@5plusn8 you sound like a juicy target 😉

Killing two hours in McDonald’s while daughter is training – I am better prepared for armageddon, but can no longer see my navel. Or my feet.

Was expecting a thread about overweight warships – is disappoint.

Assuming the kids do not kill me and eat me first.

I have to say that’s the first thing that crossed my mind.

The length of your survival will depend on how quickly they get to vital organs.
You have to hope they can eat the excess flesh first

Dress up as a zombie, you’ll fit right in.

bloody spelling… Navel…
All good answers, but none them dealing with the meat of the subject.

Naval gazing

Okay?

would need basics like Water, Salt,…

Good start.

vit c?

‘No scurvy’ is the best type of scurvy.

Anything else?

Maritime telescope?

Some kind of vessel?

Assume perfect metabolism of fat to energy, at 9 calories per g, and 2000 calories expended, 25kg gives you roughly 112 days before it’s all gone. IANAD*

*dietician

There was one guy who massively overweight and didn’t eat for a year, just a vitamin pill salt and water. I done it for a week a few times and its been fine I have plenty to burn.

Butter is 700kcal/100g and lard is 900. So call it a round 800/100g and you have 25000g, so you’re currently stocked for 200,000 calories. Should see you good for about 100-150 days if you’re not too active.

Buy some multivitamins, some SIS tabs and bottled water and you’re good till the initial radiation dies down.

Well, perhaps the individual in question is already the size of a Nimitz-class aircraft carrier…

Hmm thats over egging it. I am more of a tug boat.
