Oh, you want clothes and blankets once all the Walmarts have been looted? You need sewing, weaving, spinning, dyeing, knitting. Want to keep clean to fend off basic ailments? You need soapmakers. Want the next generation to build? You need teachers, artisans, academics.

But sure, if all you want is to play Immortan Joe in the badlands of your limited imagination, then by all means stock up only on ammo and tinned food. Maybe crafter communes will chuck you a lime or three when you all get scurvy.

I know how to crochet (I've just started a mandala-shaped bedspread), but that has less stretch than knit... and post the apocalypse that's not just a matter of comfort, right?

Some chick who knows how to make artisanal soaps and her plumber boyfriend are going to be the queen and king of the one community that didn't lose seventy percent of its people to cholera.

The same folk who bragged about having ammo and buckets of "survival soup" for 8 months in their bunkers couldn't go 2 weeks without hot wings and haircuts last year. This was not the apocalypse they ordered and they're still trying to speak to the manager.

I am dead. You are 100% right.

I remember seeing an 'emergency preparedness' list that had gold bullion but nothing in the way of menstrual supplies, things to keep kids entertained, or even a damn sewing kit. Still rolling my eyes.

Gonna be that guy and say "not all preppers." I spend time on the preppers subreddit, and most of the folks are pretty sane. A lot of them have guns, but it's in addition to growing their own food & being self-sufficient. It's the "doomsday preppers" that give others a bad name.

My wife is … prepper-curious?… and as a result, last year, we bought lots of toilet paper before buying lots of toilet paper was cool. She is also of the philosophy that surviving an apocalypse will require good relations with the neighbors, not hiding out in a bunker.
