End of the World system


So here's a question.   You and your loved ones are the last one's on earth. Your fully stocked with a cabin in the woods, renewable energy, and food for a life time.  The roads are out, and there's no place to get gas.

The remains of a high-end store are 20 miles away. What do you bring home, assuming you have to actually carry it back?

P.s.  if this is a silly thread and there are more important things for you to be doing, why respond to the thread?  In this time it’s nice to find an escape wherever you can.  Thanks Erik!
You have too much time on your hands


Yeah, since I'm not a first responder or essential worker, I don't really need an excuse for this right now.
OK guys, key part was : No roads, no gas.

Should have been explicit in saying, your log cabin has no music in it yet. :)
20 miles through uncleared path. 40 miles round trip. I’d have to clear a path on the way there, so I could get back, presumably with boxes in my hands or a cart I build. Now that I have all the facts, I think I won’t make the trip.
I already have a cabin on a lake. The only cabin on the lake, with the only access being two ruts that pass as a road. No electricity, propane for lighting and cooking, a wood burning stove for heat. Good fishing and hunting all around. No need for a stereo or music for that matter. Silence is golden.

I wouldn’t miss civilization ever. Well, not until I need stitches or to mend a broken bone. But even then, a sewing kit and splint would do fine, I just know it. I’ve seen it in the mooovies.

we might miss music, but we’d have a fiddle, spoons and a kettle bass. Rock on!
