Well done. Regarding number 5 I would add that many of the hand crank radios now come with a charging USB port for just that purpose. They take a while. I know because I’ve tested ours.
But they do work. And the cranking supports number 2, keeping busy. The games are a great idea, too. Every one of our emergency backpacks in our vehicles has a deck of cards in there. Something to pass the time can really help.
We’ve laid in a good supply of those baby wipes, too. When water is in short supply they do a fine job of washing off the worst of the stink. LOL
Thanks.

Good article, Kart - well worth clicking-through to read in its entirety...
Since you won’t, I will point out the unspoken (technically, ‘unwritten’, I guess..) common sine qua non for all of your excellent points —
To wit - “company”... We’re ‘social animals’, and rely on others of our kind for our emotional and spiritual needs...
The ‘solitary strong man’ fantasy is a sure path to insanity or worse, IMO....

You left out a low maintenance woman who “cleans up” nicely.

I posted on an earlier thread the Dollar General has Libby brand canned veggies on sale through Wednesday for $.40/can. If it’s time for anybody to rotate stock or add to, this would be a great time to do it. It is a better deal than Aldi’s and store brands.

Didn’t see tobacco on that list...good for morale, and after initial retail sources are looted, probably a premium barter item as well.
