1. Buy a Cat. It can catch rats and pigeons. If you can't feed it in the famine, then eat it. A pigeon or rat a day, can keep starvation away! But, you might not need a cat if you do the second option.
2. Invest $1000 into buying some pet domesticated rats and farming them.
3. Learn how to eat your rats. I assume baked rat would be the best way to prepare rat if you want to do it according to Western tradition. However, you can skewer it like a marshmallow and then let it cook on an open fire.
4. Buy lighters. If there's no electricity or power for cooking, you need a way to burn twigs, clothing, books, and anything that can be burned so you can cook your rat.
Rat is actually much healthier and nutritional than people might think!
