cell phones wouldn’t be much use after an EMP -
flashlights, batteries, portable radios ???,
I’d say, stock liquor, toilet paper, salt (learned this from the book, Alas Babylon!), sugar, and lots of macaroni...good for trading...

Disposable lighters and box matches.

Yep, Shelter, Water, Food, Safety/guns ammo. Lots of stuff that doesn’t need EMP protection.
Fascinating. I have a stocked pantry for emergencies, but never did any emp planning. Never even thought about trading. Fear our wine cellar has turned to vinegar over the past decades. Husband just lost interest and I’m a tee-totaler. Was cleaning the bottles last week and discovered some ‘55 ports and other old varieties that are still good - some really old cabernets (’63 and such), but I fear a lot of the other bottles would only be salad dressing in an emergency. And who’d have lettuce?
