how to prepare for the end of the world

producing food

after some time passes and provided you're not eaten by deranged mutants or severely maimed by soulless machines traveling through space in search of new planets to conquer, all sources of canned food will eventually run out. whether you like it or not, you will have to start producing your own.

start simple: don't aim right from the start for champagne and caviar, truffles or white chocolate ganache with wild berries.

instead, stock up on fishing rods and hooks. get tools to be used in farming the land, as well as plenty of seeds; tomatoes, potatoes and cinnamon-flavored apple compotes will not grow or make themselves. make plans to convert your living room into a small farm for poultry and pigs (the smaller breeds will fit best). you will need your regularly intake of protein (and any pets you keep around the house won't last for long). don't take for granted the fact that your farming skills are somehow encoded in your dna - after years of web surfing and office jobs, growing your own bananas might prove to be a challenge at first.
