9 on food. Over a years supply of food & we could go indefinitely trapping, fishing, hunting & garden. Hundreds of canning jars & extra lids.

5 on self-defense

2 on medical - minor stuff we can fix, but we would need a doctor for anything serious

Ah, but when you are in the gutter there's no place to go but up!

Note to myself :
start checking places, suitable for "Saturday nights", according to Blast, in anticipation of his future passage in Paris ...

For better or worse, those days are long gone. I'm a respectible family man now, pure in thought and deed. No product fermented of wheat or grape passes my lips.

That's actually a good idea. Most of the canal passes through the industrial section of town. Since there is very little industry left, that means a lot of abandoned property. Trash wouldn't look out of the ordinary.

As for the sewer system. Our storm drains still open directly into the waterways, without treatment. Might be worthwhile taking a trip to the library to find schematics. Added bonus here. As a confirmed flashaholic, I could use my cool flashlights during the day.

7/5

I'd say 5 for sheltering in place. Plenty of food and water and stuff. However, I've never had to do actually do it and I imagine it would be way harder than I imagine.

For bugging out it is lower, but seriously, what's the point? This country is so small that anywhere I could travel to would either be as badly affected as home, or else completely unaffected in which case I'd just check into a hotel.
