D-Day, when with the SHTF ?

[Timelord]

You won't last 40 days without food in a PSHTF scenario and come out ok! In fact without external heating in a cold climate and at any time - using body energy reserves just to move around and survive, then it could be a lot less. Also the weaker you become, the faster the degredation. Even surviving for a certain number of days without food, does not mean you will recover due to internal organ damage. The body has 3 modes of energy reserves. By the time you get into the 3rd and your body starts to literally digest its own innards, then the process can quickly become irreversable. Cannibalism will not supply a balanced diet (hohoho) and even this will not on its own, suffice in the longer term. Any infections or diseases picked up , while not immediately critical, will only compound the rate of attrition.
On the brighter side - If we are aware of this already, then we can plan to mitigate the scenario. TL.
