wooden matches. .. good idea. I wonder how long a stash of lighters would last.
A long time ago, I read “Lucifer’s Hammer”.. fiction... albiet about survival after an event. I would think that the first thing people would want to do is to get OUT of the cities asap! The looting as more people get desperate will be over the top.
We’re way out in the country. .. the city family members (mom, son & sister’s family) are directed to come up here. It would probably be a good idea to get sis to start contributing to our stash.
We’ve got horses for transportation if no gas is available. .. the neighbor raises beef. .. guess we could eat horse meat if it gets to that.
When I was a little boy (in the 1950’s), ‘fall-out’ shelters were the rage. To excape deadly nuclear radiation.
Then as we got older, they became ‘fruit cellars’, where jarred and canned goods were stored.
Now...it’s time to make sure the storage area is weather proof and adequately hidden away.
