And stock up on alcoholic beverages so you have something to trade with all of the folks who have been prepping for years ;)
Good minds think alike....
I keep hearing how efficient LED flashlights are. My only experience is a headlamp for working on household and workshop projects where I need strong light on a dark subject. The headlamp is powered by 3 x AA batteries and sure gobbles them up. I get the red warning blink after maybe one to two hours of use. I’m NOT impressed w battery life so far. But I DO love the high-intensity focused light.
What compact LED flashlights do you all like? There are so many to choose from.
Think I read this tip here;
Don’t forget your garden solar lights - bring ‘em indoors at night and save your batteries. Some are bright and last for hours - some aren’t. Check ‘em out.

@ss, Gas or Grass. NOBODY rides for free! :)
Alcohol and cigarettes were absolutely essential barter commodities shortly after Tropical Storms Irene and Sand left my home on an island for a tide cycle and without power for a week each time, as well as a monster blizzard that shut the place down for abut 48 hours. .
It’s amazing home much people will pay for a pack of smokes after a couple days without any.
My Lady Jean told me she wasn’t going into the Apocalypse without Vodka.
I purchased a 5 gallon still and have learned how to distill some kickass ethanol. 196Proof / 88% EtOH...
I cut it down to 42% with some nice Colorado spring water and VOILA!, ready for some mixer and slice.
It also burns nicely in a lamp!
