a bit better than that
that stuff is useful if you expect "it"to be over in a short while, and you expect it to be a single issue such as a transport strike etc
i am planning on eating the less than pleasant "visitors" while charging the coms by sunlight etc
water purification for 2000L small and light, assorted methods and uses
food mummified pig, carbs, tins, etc
i can hunt and forage (well direct other folk to do it as im too old and decrepit)
it would take days to get a brewery and still organised, etc
universal currency
capable of extreme violence, could teach a 95% win rate in a few days
preppers are mostly idiots with little strategic nous, ie pop the generator on, advertise you have a genny and fuel and probably have loads of other useful things
"i have farm animals" and the local town is starving
"i have a shotgun" can you make propellant? (dont ask, i have a bow and can make string)
etc

oh i missed a huge subject, just in case medical stuff
at the mo i have gaffer tape and whatever is around(loads of stuff)
my idea of a farm first aid kit surprised a few folk
a 45 min response time is at least 3/4 of the golden hour, so tourniquet, chest valves, field dressings celox etc seemed reasonable along with some less extreme kit and supplies that was more than a plaster and a bit of out of date savlon
chainsaw , accidental discharge , deliberate moo charge etc are all normal rural perils along with part eaten by a machine or fallen off a quad bike into rebar
eyewash bottles are good wherever you are
ditto 6 fire extinguishers of 3 types(here i just have a dry powder and intend to never use it, too messy to tidy up)
off grid first aid has included rescue stuff, serious drugs and tools etc at times, they have varied depending on the place and risks
i know enough about plants and a bit about nursing with little to make a difference etc |

for a shed of easement, wood ashes and sawdust or similar is hygienic, low impact, etc, and once composted for a year makes good compost
dried earth will work, especially attractive to petermen who moistened and fermented it
etc
it really is not a problem in a rural setting
urban a bit more organization might be needed, chances are it would not be a problem 28 days later, most folk would have died by then
ps i would last until a little after my meds ran out, i would be looting for different meds to most folk so have a fairly high chance of success
pps if it is longish term, either recruit (and rapidly train) henchfolk or hide quietly til the violence is over
after 4 missed meals it gets messy |
