Great Outdoors has a bug-out bag thread that seems particularly relevant for people without utility service, even if it wasn't intended for that originally: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3933065

Putin’s getting crazy. Suppose, just for preparation’s sake, that nuclear weapons are used in some very limited fashion in Europe. This would disrupt transatlantic supply chains and spark general panic in the US, a run on grocery stores, fuel, etc. What supplies from page 1 would you prioritize for that scenario, assuming no further nuclear war (in which case I’m dead anyway)? It seems like we don’t import anything absolutely critical primarily from Europe, though. Just imagining plenty of shelf stable dried food and toilet paper, to start.

ASAPI posted:I would imagine a general slow down to get "basic things". Make sure you have plenty of food, water, meds, pet food, etc. I agree with your general sentiment but don't see how water supply would be affected in the hypothetical I posed?

I’m not sure what type of apocalypse you all are prepping for. But if it’s so bad that you personally need to provide reference material for basic science/engineering and society, then expecting cell phones and wifi and internet or even kindles to be available in ANY capacity seems like it would be a short-lived affair. Electronics break. Batteries die. Networks are not admin-effort free. Get some books.

It's fine. And in some short-lived emergency/crisis it could be more useful. But you mention it as a "supplement", and that's how it should be viewed. Not as a substitute for books in a longer-term emergency (how I viewed the discussion).

If there’s one thing I’ve learned from video games, it’s that in an apocalypse those libraries are either looted or occupied by hostiles. But yes, I love libraries and we use them regularly!
