[Mission 003] Audio
Mar. 14th, 2014 09:09 pmAlright... Let's get this started.
First of all, hi to all the new people who've been arriving. Hope you manage to get settled in soon!
But mainly, well, I know everything here seems fairly safe for the most part, drafts and shifts aside. We've got plenty of food and clean water and electricity. But trust me when I say that I've seen how quickly that can all go to hell and leave a place, a world in chaos.
[And the human race on the verge of extinction.]
So I thought I'd start giving some survival tips? Yeah, survival tips. Things to prepare just in case the worst does happen. [He gives a slightly nervous laugh.] Because even if things seem safe now... let's just say if people had been prepared before the apocalypse, then my parents- then a lot of people would be alive now.
[Oh god, that's morbid isn't it? Well, he's started now so he might as well finish.]
So, supplies. It's easy enough to get them now so that's a good place to start, I guess. Water, food and fuel, in that order of importance.
You want a decent supply of water, ways of getting more and cleaning it. If you don't have proper filters, clean t-shirts will do. And then you can boil the water, or leave it in direct sunlight for six hours or so in a clear bottle.
Food, you want to make sure you've got stuff that will last. Tinned goods are great, but make sure to check the expiry date. We don't want a repeat of the 'spam incident' that happened a few months ago. At home. Not in Luceti I mean...
You need fruit and vegetables, protein, carbohydrates. Anything to avoid living off nettle and acorn ragu basically. Flour is good to have while you can get it, and sugar.
Oh my god... you really miss sugar when you can't get it anymore. And ice-cream.
[Okay, off-topic there a bit.]
Right, yeah, sorry. But yeah, you need to keep it in a cool, dry place which is secure and away from rats and other pests.
[He pauses for a few moments and this is more difficult than he'd thought. God, Janine had done a better job than he had although admittedly she was a committed survivalist speaking to people who really needed those skills.]
I hope that's helpful. If you've got any questions then feel free to ask me. Sorry if it seems paranoid but... paranoia keeps you alive.
Stay safe out there, guys.
