[mad cow]

A manual can opener,paper plates and bowls,plastic cups and utensils,tarps,bic lighters,books,board games if you got younguns,12V automobile chargers for cell phones and tablets and such,solar chargers are getting better and cheaper.Those individual antiseptic wipes in the pop-up plastic containers.Extention cords,lots of them.

 

[Henry Rogue]

Ammo.

 

[Keith and stuff]

Alcohol was listed 3 times. It seems like it's the most important. Go to a New Hampshire Liquor store and stalk up on the cheapest vodka, gin and whiskey you can find in 1.75 Liter glass bottles. Keep it in a cool, dark, dry place and it will last a long, long time.

Great for 1st aid, for forgetting problems, lighting fires, trade, networking, blinding people, killing bugs and much more.

Get those little headlamp thingies. They are awesome.

Ever tried to wash dishes in the dark with a flashlight? That's why.

 

[Henry Rogue]

A lot depends on conditions. In "08" we had some flooding. Could not find pumps or hose anywhere. Ice storms, no salt or sand. First big snow storm of the year, shovels and snow throwers/blowers.

There is natural yeast in flour--making sour dough is easy enough.

That is true--just make sure it's unbleached flour. There is also natural yeast on some fruits, like grapes, apples and I think, oranges. Potatoes too.
