I have a creek by my house and 2 filtration systems , And I keep 50 gals of bottled water at the house .
Are you operating under the assumption that you will have access to power, fuel, or some sort of heating mechanism?
not op but i think he could scrounge up a cooking fire and a pot
It just depends on if he is planning on using wood for a fire. You can't actually just chop down a tree into logs and burn it efficiently, fresh wood is pretty wet, that is why it needs to be seasoned by storing it in as dry a place as you can for a long period of time. Fall wood burns well because it has been dead for a prolonged period of time, so long that it as actually fallen of the tree, so it is somewhat dessicated already.
If you don't think your gonna have a bunch of cooking fuel, Oats are the move because you can just rehydrate them and eat them without cooking. Rice would be better if you are confident in your supply of cooking fuel.
500 gal LP tank that runs a stove and a wood burning stove that I can exhaust to a window .
Don't buy branded "survival" food. Shit is a waste of money.
But rice and oats and keep them as dry as possible. Dehydrated meat is usually pretty disgusting, so if you need to add protein to your diet, I'd recommend canned fish, specifically sardines and anchovies. Some people find that disgusting, but they usually come packed in oil, which you can save and use to other dishes.
Dried cheese powder is another good thing to have, it is pretty shelf stable.
Just don't buy things branded as survival food.
That stove exhaust sounds like a terrible idea, it'd be backdraft hell with the added risk of burning your house down.
