What about sunburn?

Now, I'm obsessing over CHOCOLATE!!! I eat 2 squares of dark chocolate, every morning (anti toxin & caffeine). But...but...1 bar is 1 item...! And chocolate melts!

What about sunburn? Stay in the shade...you do most of your work at dusk and dawn...and when you got the full moon - at night.

All right, you reeled me in. I'm going to ask. Why do you need a 5 gallon bucket?

IamwhoIam1 Joined Sun 01/01/12 Posts: 6400	Wed 05/27/15 05:29 AM
Vegetable seeds. Brilliant. This way, you will always have food.

Hold your fish and crabs til you're ready to cook em. Move sand and dirt for shelter or other construction projects. Need more reasons? seeds!

Sorry sun cream I meant sun block. I don't want to go by myself. Can I jump in with you guys. Please?

Sounds like Annie has been there before What does this say about US, or the East Coast mentality....? that we don't have a list yet? It also says that we have no survival skills. I do have a copy of "Social Chaos Survival Guide". That will come in quite handy. It has all sorts of tips about edible vs. poisonous plants, potable water, etc. I am just not sure I want to survive in a post-apocalyptic world.
