Interesting. There must be some research detailing how much energy a human body minimally needs to sustain the rest state. Every activity needs some energy, beating the heart, breathing, metabolizing nutrients, fats. Turning from side to side (no avoid the bed sores).

This would yield the required the degree of preparations before embarking on such a long stretch of lockdown. Gaining enough fat, stocking wood/coal/water/bread, well, farming what's needed through the rest of the year.

I think this may be a survival stretch for some bad years, not a sustainable practice.
