Can you survive off the land, post apocalypse?

 Yes, you could survive indefinitely off the land before or after the apocalypse.

But if you haven’t got your food plot up and running already, there might be a few things you’ll want to do in pretty short order.

Right, you’re a lone survivor. There might be other people around, but there won’t be many, so make the most of your ‘home alone’ time. Get as many veggie seeds planted as you can, then go to your nearest deserted supermarket, and pick up literally as many tins of food as you can carry.

Once your veggies have grown, you’re good, but you’ll need some stopgaps until then, so maybe make a few trips to the deserted supermarket. Don’t worry, you want have to pay for anything.

You can also do foraging tips into any nearby forests. If you’re lucky, an apple grower is, or was nearby.

If you’re really lucky, a post apocalyptic potato farm will also be on your doorstep.

Make your home as secure as possible. Sure, you’re on your own, but are you? And the animals will probably see you as their next meal as well.

Hunting? I’d say unless you know what you’re doing, avoid it and stay a vegetarian. The thing is, hunting, killing animals, and then butchering and cooking them and eating them is a whole bunch of learning, and if you don’t know what you’re doing, a wounded animal might well kill you, and food poisoning from badly prepared fresh-kill will also do the same.

Hey, it worked for Ghandi, and he ran a whole sub-continent.

So plant your food, do plenty of foraging, and have tins as backup, and you’ll do fine.
