    use this to calculate how long your toilet paper stash will last lol.

    https://www.vcalc.com/wiki/how-long-toilet-paper-lasts

    156 days - no way.

    40 maybe.

    Might need to adjust your parameters. Seems pretty accurate for my calculation.

    Default is assuming 1.2 poops per person per day. You may need to up that for women who use half a roll every time they pee. ��

    There is one variable that is missing in the calculator, and is critical to the end value. It is:

    On a scale of 1 to 10... how big of an "A"hole are you? :D

    Local kosher supermarket (Moti's) was pretty well-stocked, but it ain't cheap.

    I went to Safeway (Shady Grove) yesterday on a lark, and it was also stocked relatively well. Missing the usual stuff (TP, white albacore tuna, and sanitizer) veggies were mostly gone, and the fruit looked a little iffy, but it was otherwise alright. Canned veggies were limited to a dozen per customer. IIRC, still had some organic milk and eggs left. I am not 100% sure why the hell people are bulk buying perishables instead of non-perishables, but whatever, more for me. Keeping that pantry at full stock shape since I don't really know when the supply chain will finally fail.

    At some point, I am going to have to brave Costco again to restock on a few non-high-demand items. Ugh.

    I'm all for gender equality - they can use the tree-line just like us.
    Funny story...was hiking the other day. Came around a corner and saw a gal about 50m up the trail. She had a funny look on her face. From the distance and because of the terrain, you couldn’t tell if she was sitting, standing or kneeling. Soon as she saw me she starts screaming...get back, get back. Turns out she decided to cop a squat in a wide and very open spot a couple feet off the trail and placed her hiking buddy down hill (and around the corner) as a look out. She was quite indignant once finished and reclothed. Huge stand of rhododendron not 20m from where her lazy arse decided to answer a nature’s call. Sheesh.

    So, I'm not sure if I just shorted myself, or gave myself more for next time

    Liquor store is still well stocked. Need to go pick out a couple bottles of bourbon.

    Today was about basics such as Zatarain's rice, mac and cheese and of course the all important soda.

    No shortage of food including dairy but not TP where I am. Meat is a little cleaned out.

    Which solar USB charger did you go with? I’ve been eyeballing those hard.
    This is my fourth one. I have one from Goal Zero, one from Anker, and two from RavPower. They all work well. One of my biggest fears is losing the power grid from an EMP, CME, or hackers so I have a lot of solar and USB rechargeable stuff stored away. One of these chargers, some Enloop rechargeable batteries, and a USB battery charger for AA and AAA will keep you going for a while.

    I also have a HF 100w solar panel system with regulator tucked away. In an EMP event when the cars stop working I can go harvest the batteries from them and charge them with the solar panel. While you are out getting car batteries, don't forget to grab the wheel weights from the tires. You did put away some bullet molds, didn't you?
