What To Grab In The Initial Panic

When the apocalypse first strikes, you may find yourself looting a supermarket or green grocers with about fifty other furious, panicking people. You're going to need to keep your wits about you, and retrieve enough goods to last you for the weeks and months ahead.

But while the obvious essentials – rice, canned goods and bottled water – are important, Will says you should also think about the long term.

"Everyone's going to be going for the tins of beef, baby food and dried milk. But if you want an edge, make sure to grab some vinegar or lye, which you'll be able to use to preserve your fresh goods and make them last much longer."

Salt is also very important. You'll need loads of it for preserving food and making stuff tasty. So make sure to grab as much as you can when you're looting the stores around town. We're talking 20 kg sacks, not little shakers of table salt.

Being able to preserve food is vital, since there won't be much fresh food for long. But that's good for you, since the fresh fruit and veg are going to be largely ignored in the store. Pulses and beans in particular will be good finds. So don't waste time fighting to the death over some peaches in syrup. Go for the salt my friend.

Also keep your eye out for fatty foodstuffs like oil and lard.

"These things are also vital parts of the human diet, and can be helpful for preserving and storing goods," Will says.

Dried food – particularly meats and fruit – are also good finds. Finally, if there are any multi-vitamins left on the shelf, make sure to grab them.

"Fizzy vitamin C will help you stay healthy," says Will. "As well as providing entertainment during those long nuclear winter nights."

Of course, there are some benefits to the End Times, as these zombie babes show:
