I liked how the original trilogy was three different snapshots of an evolving situation which was meant to be a plausible prediction of the future, not just a surreal heavy-metal fantasy world

The Spice Must Flow ™ will be my company slogan. While fools fight over gold, I’ll accumulate all the cumin and coriander you’d ever need to make a delicious roadkill weasel. “Silence, child! Do you hear the bells? The Spice-Aisle Caravan comes!”

I’m lucky in that I’m a mutant who can’t enjoy the flavor of coriander, so I’ll use my own salt after I extract the water from it. /s

I’ve read enough SF over many years to know that probably the most important things to stockpile, and in as large quantities as possible, are drugs, especially painkillers, and antiseptic treatments. They will become worth far more than their weight in gold.
I’d like to ask one of these prepped, exactly how they’re gonna to deal with a serious leg injury that’s become infected, and likely to turn gangrenous.
How prepared are they to have someone, or even themselves, hack their own leg off to save their worthless lives?

They always seem to assume that they are going to be the only ones with guns.
This is also the mistake they make when assuming their armed insurrection will occur with no resistance.
Besides, you can’t eat gold. And you might have 1000 rounds of ammo, but when that 1001st Zombie shows up, you are hosed.
Jewelry might be useful for barter, but that’s about it.
That kinda leaves out whole swaths of the population, then. Not sure how much ‘trust’ exists in the mind of the typical MAGAt…
True, and thinking outside the box will go far.
Better start now, so you can hit the ground running. Methinks supplies will be short if TSHTF.
Their only way out is to make sure there are no angry mobs in the first place, so they won’t need guards.
Knowing how to make toilet paper [or alternatives] would be more valuable in the long run, I think.
The Firefox Books are a valuable resource, for instance.

Because even if you have the entire bibliography of Tom Clancy available to suit those purposes, one bout of dysentery could wipe you out.
