Of course by "these" I mean these:

“You left out a low maintenance woman who “cleans up” nicely.”

Where do you get those?

Good article, Kartographer! Lisa’s blog has a good readership in the preparedness community, too.

Didn’t see tobacco on that list...good for morale, and after initial retail sources are looted, probably a premium barter item as well.

“Packs of dogs, which folks turned loose when they couldn’t feed them, quickly went wild and were almost as big a problem as rampant crime.”

Maybe you can’t feed your dogs, but you can eat them.

That's a great idea. When I saw the writing on the wall that tobacco prices would quadruple, I bought out the Navy exchanges full stock of canned (6oz) Bugler/Top and two other brands, nearly eighty cans in all...

Believe I paid around eight dollars per can. I checked out the exchange last week and they were going for twenty nine dollars!

Opened up one yesterday and the product is fresh as can be... WTSHTF we are going to have quite a bartering chip!

There’s also a Libby’s 4/$1 canned vegetable coupon out there in a printed ad insert. If your Dollar General doesn’t take coupons, HEB has buy Libby’s canned pumpkin ($1.68) and get Carnation ($1.08) evaporated milk free. Yes, the Libby’s pumpkin is more expensive than the store brand but with the free milk and coupon, it comes to $1.43 for pumpkin and milk. Pumpkin does last a long time.

Thanks for the ping Kart. Flashy threads.

Entertainment will be mostly for kids and women. I will be busy with security issues and won’t have extra time.

Remember, odds of survival increase if you have a small, trusted group of well armed and TRAINED men. Lone wolves will not survive.

The group of folks I plan to hunker down with are very entertaining just being themselves.

About two hours is what is recommended watch time that a person can stay at the needed state of alert for. If you are planning to stand guard more than that you need to rethink it.
