You should have seen the ‘horror show’ I had down there before I spent 6 weeks cleaning it out, scrubbing it clean, and organizing it. 45yrs of ‘stuff’, 3 cats and litter boxes, etc.
Here’s the other side (more ammo than I can count, and computer stuff, personal/business files etc):

And my workbench (old office desk):

These are old pics; I’ve moved and am still setting-up the new basement in a similar way.
If there’s an EMP event, you can throw out the computer stuff.
