Prepper’s Ping!

Booze. The hard stuff.

Agricultural antibiotics. You can get five ounce bags of terramycin and others, intended for bees and pigs, but work just fine on people with infections.

And one of those little pocket scales, or a reloading balance.

Major meltdown means no FDA.

How long does Coleman fuel last?

BFLR

[DBrow]

“Booze. The hard stuff.”

Distillation gear.

A ton of sulfur, any grade.

Look for “Blackpowder and Alcohol” by Leslie Fish, she got it when she wrote the song.

[ExtremeUnction]

I think liquor will be more valuable than gold.

[DBrow]

“I think liquor will be more valuable than gold.”

Well, you can make liquor. It will take lead to keep gold.

[DBrow]

Bullet molds, in various calibers, accept tire weights and food as input, output cast lead bullets.

Obviously if you are reading this article you already have a modicum of common sense..

Obviously they overestimate the average internet reader (sorry, I couldn't resist, frankly it is a pretty good list..)

[mnehring]

[JRandomFreeper]

Mountain men over 50 won't need 14, 20, 26, 41, 44, 61 or 81.

And what was 62? It seems to be missing. Are we out already?

[Styria]

What are the contraindications to terramycin?

[mnehring]

ping if you haven’t been pinged yet

[JRandomFreeper]

Booze. The hard stuff.

While frowned upon without paying the $11/gallon tax... the skillsets and materials are not that complicated.

[Kartographer]

I checked the list (I even checked it twice!) the author seem to have skipped #62.

[JRandomFreeper]

So we are out....

I just figured it out. WE'RE OUT OF CHOCOLATE!!! OMG!!!

[Ghost of Philip Marlowe]

How long do they last, remain usable?
