Thinking LOOOONG Term!

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I'm planning on surviving this if it happens and because of that I looked at what things I've been putting off doing that might be hard to do in the aftermath or what things will be hard to get in the aftermath that could last for many years.  I ordered the solar stuff installed and am now looking at  other improvements that if speeded up might be useful.  
I'm also trying to get my head around what would be slow in coming back and to stock some of those things where I can.  Simple for instance is oil filters air filters and other parts for that I change regularly any way, just moving the expense forward and putting them on my shelf.  
If the FLU hits I foresee a long grind back after it quits, what things can you do now that you'd do later anyway?

	Corky, you're thinking ahead. We hope that once the economy shuts down that it will be fairly quick to start up again, but there's really no telling... it could conceivably be a long time in bouncing back. Even if that's not an issue, at least you're ready for Peak Oil.

	After the Black Death books became popular and prevalent. Many of the changes to come are those we can't even imagine. But on the topic of books... One might want to stow away a few classics or other literature for information and enjoyment.
	For generations we have lived not wisely but too well. Now we must pay.

	I'm thinking about post-pandemic employment opportunities. Myself, figuring on becoming a tail-gunner on a bread truck.

	It's not so much the apocalypse... but the credit card bills ;-)

	How about a video of you dancing to your theme song on the way to the bread truck?
