One thing people forget is toilet paper...you can also buy in a camping store a toilet seat stand and you use blue bags (they use to be blue when we camped in the national forests) that attached to the seat...it folds away like a folding chair...There are more modern ones, but they use chemicals that might not be available in an emergency....I too have a cupboard of foodstuff in the basement...duct tape and those plastic drop cloths are also useful....I have my own well and have wondering about getting a hand pump added to it if necessary for clean water. Don't know if that is possible or not...On my grandmothers old farm we had to hand pump water...

There was another black walnut tree across from the farm house and close to the ditch...every year someone would come to the door and ask to pick up the walnuts...it wasn't my property so I didn't care as our black walnut tree was huge. They are much tastier than the walnuts you buy in the store...

Hand pumps for well as available somewhere. Some wise FReeper mentioned some time ago about procuring one, so they are out there.

We’re all set for toilet paper.... :)
