There is alot there, and may take several readings.

:-> No, only one. The best comment to his article is "What a freakin geek." I was thinking the same thing as I looked at his pictures and read about him having his wool vest custom made for him and that he wears it year-round. What a freaking geek.

By the way, I notice he says, 'With the home improvement store right next door to my worksite, I think it is likely that should we have to construct temporary shelter we could “source” tarps, lumber, rope and tools, but having a small highly effective set of these tools is one of my kit requirements.'

What is it you think he means by "sourcing" tarps?

The complete freakin geek quote is,

Planning on anything that can be later viewed as looting is not really planning. The point, I think, is to plan to avoid that necessity.

So far, the best idea seems to be storing stuff in a car outside. Which you thoughtfully repost.

Just my thoughts.

Yeah, thanks.
