>>22653871Yeah I used to have a vape that used them and I have some 18650 flashlights so I have a bunch of decent ones. Every year or so I will throw some in the charger to make sure they have at least some charge if I need them.
>>22653885My main prep is not for SHTF, it is to get through a 3-7 day emergency in relative comfort. In a major emergency I plan to stay in place and resist any evacuation attempts. I have a lot of animals here and I can't take them with me. I live near a gas station with thousands of gallons of gasoline and diesel and a mega supermarket that will have enough pallets of canned fish, canned beans, and sacks of rice for me to stockpile a year's food and fuel in just a day or two.
If the nukes fly, or a virus breaks out, or we're invaded by the Chinese or Americans then I just want to stay here with my animals and hide and fight on until we are dead. We all do eventually anyway.
>>22653884First aid and trauma kit is a big underrated one. Skin stapler and wound closures will be worth more than their weight in gold. A scalpel, hemostatic clamps, and chitosan clotting powder and learn how to use them. Without a doctor or a hospital, small wounds and infections can be fatal. A stab or GSW to the belly will be fatal. Find "the ark" from /t/, it has that FM and lots of others, and lots of other info about treating wounds, preserving, etc. I have it on an external drive with a USB-C cable I can access from my phone if power goes out.
