I was driving with my wife yesterday and I asked her if she would rather run out of food or fuel for the vehicles.
Her response was certainly running out of food was her biggest concern by far. Makes sense to me.
When she asked me, I responded that I would certainly rather run out of food, as long as I had fuel for the truck I could get food, improvise and make things happen.
I wonder is this the same response in your house, is it just the difference between a man and a woman.
This was pertaining to just a few weeks of bad times not forever.

I mean at that point id have to know if we were combating full blow zombie apocalypse or if there was just a fuel or food shortage. Its so far off in la la land I don't think it deserves the thought to develop and honest answer.

I’d choose to run out of both before I ran out of ammo.

I think you would be one of the very few who would rather have fuel than food.

"as long as I had fuel for the truck I could get food, improvise and make things happen"

But why? If you had the food in the first place you wouldn't have to go get it or make anything happen. IF people run out of food and are starving, they will kill and steal to feed themselves and their families. IF people run out of fuel but have food then they just walk to where they need to go or stay home.

I can get fuel at work and hogs in the backyard. No worries.

Have both, but I would choose food first.

Rather run out of food first. I can go get food. If something happens (flood, fire, tornado, riot) I’d rather be able to bug out.... 2cents

After 3 days without water, neither food nor fuel will be needed.

Desperate people make very bad decisions. The goal is to avoid the desperation - but you must also be prepared for others who refuse to plan ahead.
