Luckily you had stores to loot, though, right? So you could stay alive and all.
The nearest store was about 20 miles away. However, we had two refrigerators and a large freezer with lots of venison and pizza from the school band fund drive. Plus my mom canned several items. We could go for a couple of months on what we had in stock. All we had to do was jump on the snowmobile and run down to the nearest gas station where there was a milk vending machine. More than once I had to snowmobile about 25 miles to school. And once my dad and our neighbor had to come on snowmobiles to get us home from school.
