It's all true 'little things please little minds!'. We were passing a camping shop and bought a wind-up lamp which was in the sale. Box said one minute winding will give 20 minutes of light. It broad daylight and yes, we wound it up for 1 minute and it's still on. Thats an hour and a half later, we are so impressed! And do you know what? we are going to do it all again when it gets dark! just because we can :rotfl: ....shaking head at small life and easy pleased!

In terms of human waste, in the short term bucket of wood shavings then the compost heap. In the long term - "humanure", tree bogs, back to the privy...

This particular guy had a tunnel some 20ft underground! It was a pretty sophisticated place to live if one had to but there didn't seem to be any provision for waste.

In a normal situation wood shavings, cat litter, even a soil toilet would do.

I'd say mine are pretty much the same tbh in the sense it is storage of necessary consumables - either way I am prepping to be stuck in the house for a length of time altho I would expect to be stuck in for less time in winter than in a SHFT scenario.

In fact my winter preps are nothing compared to my SHTF preps in terms of quantity.

Altho I doubt winter brings a necessity for barbed wire and weaponry :rotfl:

Most of it overlaps re storage of food, water, candles/lantern, extra bedding and warm clothes and some emergency cooking facilities. Also for medicine and a first aid kit.

The extra stuff for zombie attack is mostly about having provision for a toilet and some long term books and skills, also a plan for alternate living arrangements if needed and some secondary transport. None of this is particularly expensive or requires much effort on my part though, I've got a ton of camping gear, we've got bikes, a lot of survivalist skills are also hobby ones.
