“Next to go in is bulk cut tobacco and rolling papers.”

That’s what I’m doing. Thinking of things people will want a week, two weeks, ten weeks after a collapse.

I had a friend from post WWII Italy. His family in the US gave up on sending them stuff and would travel to his family with gifts. He said one of the most valuable things his family would bring him from the US were sewing needles. They were not manufactured, not imported and stolen quickly as everyone was desperate to repair the clothes they had.

It’s little cheap things like that I try to think of.

If you want to stock something that folks WILL kill for, get some anti depressants. The withdrawal from that stuff is going to make folks go crazy. Literally.

Good tip! and thanks for the reminder, I need to stock up on both hand- and machine-sewing needles.
