I suppose, if civilization falls for longer than a decade. Most people have enough clothes in their closets to last for at least a decade.

The only disasters that I see lasting longer than a decade is an asteroid strike... or a socialist Amerika.

I have one, know how to use it, also know how to weave, knit, sew, and quilt.

Shoes are beyond my housewifery skills, but I figure I could barter for those.

Last time I was over at my neighbor’s house.

There are lots of books on my shelf from when I taught myself to build a cabin from scratch (w/o benefit of electric tools, electricity, running water, or phones) 25 miles from the nearest paved road... and live off the land for 7 years.
