Well, here are some tricks you won't hear about on the internet. I hope some of my information can be disemenated to the people who can use it.
Everyone should of course have a crank radio with various lights etc..You should also take with you (when shit hits the fan) solar outdoor lighting. Those small outdoor lights you can pick-up at Walmart are AA BATTERY CHARGERS during the day and small lights at night or take off the three small screws on the bottom and take the AA battery out (fully charged) every evening. Be sure to pick-up re-chargable batteries when you shop. I like to keep good batteries in the solar lights in front of the house. These batteries last 6 months (easy) as accent lighting. This could be a great barter item in a pinch.
When you end-up in a rural area and have a chance to catch your breath, look around for the nearest goat. No this is not a dirty joke :o Goats eat poison ivy and poison oak and any damn thing else that can/will make your life misserable out in the sticks. Drinking goats milk over a small period of time will help your body block off any unwanted local medical emergency of the EXTREAM ITCHY KIND.
You always read about the weather proof matches and those things are a must but matches are a finite resource. In order to stretch your matches when on the move, bring with you a coals holder. The indians used leather pouches, I would use a tin box wraped in leather. Yes, bring flint with you but wow. What a pain in the ass in wet weather! With coals your good to go.
I'll be posting little things like this, things that I think can make a difference when shit hits the fan.
