No electricity, no fridge - only a cool gardi safe hung from a tree with damped hessian bag for keeping stuff cool. No running water and an outside john. print paper on a nail served to educate too.

Both have medical uses as well as disinfectant and preservative uses.<br /><br />The salt can help lower your food and water consumption but not like you would thin.

In some condos (especially for the young, single) - there could be hardly any food (let alone other survival items). I would say - forget a major disaster.
