I really need to capitalize on eating dandelions, I would never go hungry again....

And when the other 600,000 citizens are going for that last dandelion and last stray cat...... then what ?
That will take about a week and a half.

Between the Pigeons, rats, cats, opossums, raccoons, carp, catfish, crawdads plus the Vegimite at the bottom of the brewers vats, grain in the silos and freighters, not to mention the freighters hauling the frozen meat a small group could survive if it had good security assets. Might be worth while to keep an eye on the shipping news to see what's in port.

The future here in the cities would not be far off from that.
Sad to say............

As told....Strays (including people) were what was for dinner.

Residents burned books and furniture to stay warm and searched for food to supplement their scarce rations. Animals from the city zoo were consumed early in the siege, followed before long by household pets. Wallpaper paste made from potatoes was scraped off the wall, and leather was boiled to produce an edible jelly. Grass and weeds were cooked, and scientists worked to extract vitamins from pine needles and tobacco dust. Hundreds, perhaps thousands, resorted to cannibalizing the dead, and in a few cases people were murdered for their flesh. The Leningrad police struggled to keep order and formed a special division to combat cannibalism.

grab a freighter and moor it mid-Columbia R.
I'm not advocating piracy, just armed custodianship.
Pretty much every thing you need: Power plant, lots of fuel, drinking water, walk in freezer, comms, stowage, transport
