You need something like a Berkey especially if you are needing water for more than one or two people. Agreed. They are the best.

Number 9 is something I'm dealing with now. I would suggest coconut oil and storage in a cold, dry and dark location. Mine are in a basement that stays at or below 60 degrees.

I have been testing mine and found the oldest (four years past expiration) are just fine with no discoloration, odor or signs of rancidity.

I have been removing industrial oils from my diet for the past few years.

Number 10 is another one I have doubts about. Who the heck is going to have time in a SHTF situation. It is going to be a very busy and brutal life. Sleeping aids will be more appropriate. You are going to want to sleep in what little time you have.

An old woman who lived through WWI & WWII in Germany spoke about how cooking oil was like gold. Highly sought after.

A former boss was telling me about his uncle who lived through the Great Depression. They caught and ate fish for most of their meals but at some point were not able to buy cooking oil so most of the time the fish was boiled. The uncle said he got tired of boiled fish so one day he put the fish in a pan to fry it and added a little water to keep it from burning and sticking to the pan. My boss asked him what it tasted like. He said, boiled fish.

I’m disappointed in my basement. It’s at 60 now, but was up to 65 in the summer. Potatoes and onions sprouted and it’s much too warm to ripen cheese. I’m going to have to dig a deep dairy (cave/root cellar).

We can eat lard now as well as butter but the lard keeps a long time.
