That will surely go first... after that, I think things like seeds, cloth, metal implements and hand tools and shoes will all be in high demand. I don't know if my wife even owns a pair of shoes that would last a year working outside. <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Anyone able to generate electricity via solar/wind will be a king! <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> (especially since diesel/gas generatorss will run out). In the past 5 years we've seen just how sensitive and fragile our infrastructure is (hurricanes, blackout, terrorist attack, bio weapons). If Mother Nature doesn't get us first, we'll do ourselves in, I'm sure.

Those with old-school skills and the ability to fashion tools and clothes will be at a distinct advantage... makes me want to take that blacksmithing course.
