100 items to disappear first in war

This is a good list. However, whatever army is in the area and roving gangs will steal all of this, rape your wimmin, and kill you. Even in a rural area. I was in Bosnia, people get desperate and very mean. Also, the American home is indefensible, it’s made of sticks and plywood.

Which war when and where?

Found two big black labs on my property yesterday morning. They could feed me and the wife for a month.

Speaking of this list ... can anyone recommend a great can opener that will last for years?

I've tried about half a dozen different kinds of manual can-openers and they all break after 2-3 months of moderate use.

Awesome that was for wars using 20th century tech. We are well into a digital simulated war. What's missing are basic characteristics that used to define humanity.

YEP P-38. Tried and True!

Most have basements, but yeah a lot of people are going to fafo how defenseless they really are.

Which war when and where?

How fast will 21st century tech be removed if this becomes a hot war?
Satellites are vulnerable. Drones are a game changer, but they do rely on GPS. If the war expands and it’s nato vs Russia/China/Iran I expect that Americans will experience the same privations that our mid 20th century predecessors did. If NATO does not hold, it could be an existential crisis.
