Are you Prep'd?

Just back to my boat readying her for the new season and going through my food lockers I guess I could have jumped onboard filled up the water tank and be gone for at least a month before running out of tinned food

So the question is, In the event of a zombie apocalypse how long could you put to sea for before you ran out of stuff? (You are allowed to fill your water tank but no shopping on the way to the boat. Just grab the loved ones and go!

3 months at a push may be longer

I may have some corned beef left, my family would starve before eating that thing again so I might just outlive them by a few days (?)

Doesn't the "Custom of the Sea" cut in at that point?

One might have to resort to desperate measures: cannibalism, or even opening the tins of Fray Bentos pies.

Have always taken food off every winter after finding some really old cereal ( opened) a few years ago. So how long would a jar of coffee keep one alive??

Just removed a load of out of date stuff (just) like green Thai curry kits etc. and used it at home.
Incredibly, I found some Adnams and Hobgoblin a year past their drink by date!!! how the hell did that happen…tasted ok though
Probably got about a weeks worth of pasta and noodles left onboard.

Steady. Eating Fray Bentos is beyond the pale!

Since the event that must not be mentioned, the Zombie Apocalypse will be restricted to the UK, so I only have to make it to Cherbourg. Got enough for that - Brittany at a pinch.

Plenty of gin in stock and we have a fishing rod, solar and a water maker. We should be ok!

Regretfully on examining the bilges I found number of tinned beer to be blown. Still in date as per the label but made smelly mess in the bilge. Glass bottles and cartons all ok though.
Restocked tins, and flour so all ok for a month or so.

My better half vittels the boat. She seems to live in permanent fear of us being stuck for months in the middle of the pacific, though the furthest we go is Brittany.
I reckon comfortably a month before the crisis comes when we run out of emergency custard.
Tea bag quantity will outlive our water supply which is just 100 gallons
