Nice thread!
Two things I would add is:
Have a woodpile. Even a small stack of split seasoned wood is handy - for cooking, heating, or barter.
Also, you should not throw away expired medicine -- save it away instead. The expiration dates on almost all solid tablets (except tetracycline -
which really does go dangerously bad!) is falsely premature, and solid tablets can be kept for decades, if needed, with only a mild weakening of
effect, if that. Liquid medicines do not last as long, but still should not be thrown away too fast. Injectable medicine is a different story, and
for that, the expiration date really DOES matter, but if kept in a refrigerator, it could still be usable in an absolute emergency, or for veterinary
purposes, longer than the actual expiration date. In a hyperinflation, you might not be able to afford new medicine, and others won't be able to
either; so, it would be handy also for use, or barter.
