Whether you were locked in or it was your home base in a zombie apocalypse, how long would you be able to SURVIVE with that as your only source of sustenance? Today, I'm going to settle in and find out!

    At least the initial stages would vary a lot based on climate. Like in warm climates things would spoil really fast and even things that normally last a while could become infested with bugs but in colder climates you could essentially use the rooftop as a refrigerator/freezer.

    Thinking about this as well
    lots of grocery stores have coolers in the hunting supplies section and sell bagged ice
    If Evan can use those,put as much food as he can inside them,and then seal them inside the freezer,he can maximize the time before those foods spoil because the walk in freezers are pretty airtight
