Cities exist because of agriculture. Anyone who has read the first three chapters of a human history textbook should know that, if they decide to go hunter-gatherer, then they also need to go nomadic. It's not romantic, it's not easy, you'll probably die...but "hunting & gathering off the land" and "city full of people" aren't two phrases that generally go together.Welp, Bosnia was an eye opener, there was little in the way of animals left to eat after a few months of starving, and those that were left were too useful for other needs, until they weren't, then they got ate! Your chances of finding edibles was rather interesting, as most folks simply didn't know what was what, or where to look, and worse, how to handle and prepare what was there! As an example, we would find fields long abandoned, and while all the larders had been pilfered, there would still be edibles remaining in the ground, and some times not too spoiled to feed you if/when you were hungry! You would be surprised how far onions will go, even if the outside is rotting, the inner bits can still be good, and potatoes were actually in abundance if you took the time to dig for them! We would find winter wheat still good, and barley from time to time, and those were highly sought after targets for us, as we could grind it and then barter/trade for intel in the villages and small towns we visited, You wouldn't believe what a fresh loaf of bread was worth to hungry folks! Short of Birds, Bugs, and small vermin, there was NO animals in and around the area period!

Incorrect on .22 killing more people than every other caliber every year. 9mm is #1 followed by .380. Then .357. Where did you get that data?Nobody said anything about not being armed for 2 legged predators and you can still shoot those with a .22, it kills more people than all other calibers combined every year....In fact I'd rather put down some fire to get everyone to hit the ground then escape. The people who think they are going to fight it out with dozens of marauders by themselves with their AR and AK are in for a dose of reality....I certainly have no delusions about fighting that many people or patching myself up while I fight after I got shot....I'd rather keep everyone's head down by dumping a mag and bolting. By the time they get back up I'm gone....
I'm talking about just gathering food. Winter time is a great example. Not a ton of edible plants available that time of year. So meat is your best bet...and you can carry 7.4 lbs of .22 for 1K rounds vs 100 ish round of say AK or AR ammo for the same weight. And I wouldn't want to be shooting rabbits and squirrels with a rifle that makes the meal explode into a fine red mist....
Instead try to find some deep safe place where you can just disappear for the aforementioned 1-3 years. On the way grab enough high quality dry chunk type dog food for the aforementioned 1-3 years. Yumm yumm.
Stubb's Pork marinade is great on most anything, just sayin'Just make sure you harvest vegans. They smell funny but the meat will be better and there's a sense of satisfaction you get.
