All sorts of different scenarios of disaster brought up in this forum. I tend to think a semi-short term (6 months- 2 yr) event is a pretty likely scenario. Maybe natural; maybe supply-chain; maybe regional, maybe not violent. Lots of preps ideas posted here for everything. And I agree with the thinking that we won't go back into the dark ages no matter what happens (short of extinction!).
Does rugged footwear, maybe socks, clothing become something deserving current consideration? Not talking about robbing from corpses - more like making it yourself. Is it a skill set that's learned when needed?
