What things that you regularly use would be hard or impossible to get?

For me computer parts and pieces.

I'm not on any drugs and will eat most anything. Mary takes one drug that is made Europe and Canada, looking into other sources just in case.

Clothes and shoes would be hard to come by as they are nearly 100% imports, doesn't bother me but might bother Mary.

I've seen estimates of from 6 months to 18 months of slowed or stopped trade. Most companies don't keep more than a weeks parts on hand, guess there would be lots of unemployment.

On Edit: The lack of COFFEE may kill me, anybody know how long coffee in a can will keep?

Chrissy,
Thanks!

I think I'll buy a couple of cases and rotate the cans through, life without coffee wouldn't be worth living.

Have to agree with you Corky 100 percent and strong coffee at that, none of this stuff that tastes like tea water. :fryingpan: :fryingpan: :fryingpan:

A good drink is also a necessity, never drank when I was young, but I certainly enjoy it now. Did they have anything in their about how long Vodka lasts? :floorrollin: :floorrollin: :floorrollin:

Leaving next week for N.C........hopefully coming home with some nice pumpkins, maybe a few plants. I wonder how much large bottles of scotch weighs? :whistle:
Weight police will be pitching a fit. :pistols: :pistols: :pistols:

Chrissy,
Water and booze weigh about the same, just drain some water from the tank and promise not to use the john till you get home.
