Have you seen this list titled 100 Items to Disappear First? It’s a collection of items that, in case of serious emergency, are likely to disappear first. Now, I don’t know who created this list* or how accurate it is, but it’s worth a look. If nothing else, just to make you think. I tend to be less “prepper” and more interested in living a more self-reliant lifestyle, so while I think some of these items are absolutely of value for emergency situations, others make me raise my eyebrows a bit. This topic came up on a local self-sufficient living list and I was impressed with what Sue Barnett had to say. It is a bit localized, but I think that no matter where you live you’ll find something to think about. Unless were are under siege of war, I don’t see a lot of items just disappearing. But they surely more and more expensive to buy or maintain. There will come a point where you find you cannot afford them, and thus cannot afford to live here. Sadly many people have already reached that point and moved to the mainland. But those people are only putting off...
