It might seem like all I do in the shower is list things, but after seeing numerous movies and TV shows where some event brings doom to society as we know it, it really got me thinking: What would I grab in a panicked rush at the supermarket before running off to my secret hideaway? This has to take into account a couple things. First of all, there is only so much I can fit into my 2003 Honda Accord, so the total volume of the items grabbed must be limited. Secondly, Items must be prioritized assuming that I can only drag two shopping carts around by myself, and that I could make two trips before the car would be reasonably full, and the gains of returning back to the store would be very dimished due to the mass of other people trying to accomplish the same thing.
To summarize the goals:
- Get as much nutritional value per unit volume as possible
- Grab items with the highest looter demand first
- Find those “hidden gem” items on the second trip that others might not think of right away
Without further adu, here is the list of items I came up with:
High Priority:
- Energy Bars
- Canned foods (soups, chili, all that)
- Canned fruits and vegetables
- Cereal
- Trail mixes/Granola
Non-Food:
- Vitamins
- Batteries
- Water Filters
- Medical Supplies
Second Trip (Assume most of the good stuff is gone):
- Dog food
- Chocolate/candy (Has a ton of calories, and happiness?)
- Rice
- Bulk food section (dried fruits, granola, whatever)
- Peanut butter and other high-calorie condiment type things
Non-Food (For barter use later):
- Coffee
- Cigarettes
- Matches and/or Lighters
I feel like I’m missing a bunch of options here, but that’s all for now!
