7/ while I think that wood would lower the thermal mass, I think that this is the wrong explanation thermal mass isn't the same thing as mass theoretically a less dense substance can have more thermal masshttps://twitter.com/tketkr/status/1239918236487036929 …

18/ So, do you want to tell your folks "mom, dad, S may HTF, so you should dig a survival gave and learn to eat tree bark and build traps to catch rabbits" ? Or should you be sane and ask for something achievable?

19/ so telling someone who is open-minded, eager to learn, and asking for advice on getting a bit more resilient / anti-fragile "bro LOL when SHTF there's no power, there's no freezers, gotta learn to salt roadkill and hang it to dry" ... is that good?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qdi4msopIBw& …

20/ Yep. I've got a standard Honda generator, plus also a larger generator that I can drive from my tractor's PTO, plus also a bank of lead acid batteries and a whole-house inverter. Run the tractor ~ 8 hrs/day, keep the whole house running 24 hrs/day.https://twitter.com/lumiferrous/status/1239948855296364548 …

22/ I use it in my water treatment system. Lowes gives a pretty big discount for buying a full pallet (10%? more?), plus I also buy 10% Lowes coupons online. Plus, in a true SHTF, you can use salt to preserve meat (see earlier freezer discussion)https://twitter.com/HoodlumDoodlum/status/1239957205199306754 …

23/ Yep, it's sodium chloride, just like table salt. In 100% SHTF road warrior scenario (e.g. EMP), I'd pulverize the salt, pull all the meat from the freezers, then layer salt / meat / salt / meat / salt meat and open the defrost / drain taphttps://twitter.com/BuucketHe4d/status/1239957175281336321 …

24/ catch the brine discharge in buckets! dry it out in the sun voila free salt

25/ of course, if you pack meat in salt, the meat (a) lasts forever, (b) gets dry and SALTY AF you'll probably want to soak the meat in water overnight before cooking it

Yes, and some of the people you talk to may be working poor, so put your money where your mouth is. My husband just took a Gen Z relative and her husband shopping and bought them $400 worth of supplies, explaining to them the importance of being prepared rn.
