If there's one thing I've learned from years of research into this topic, it's that very little of what we need is all that difficult once you wrap your head around it. You may be stuck ordering a few key parts off the internet, or getting something particularly sophisticated done professionally, but most of what a human being needs is pretty easy to meet with goods that are abundant and cheap or free. Honestly, if you want to stock up for peak oil, you're far better off collecting buckets, scrap wood, dirt or tools - not shotguns and canned beans.

What I have that's more important than anything else is a stack of old textbooks, readers digest DIY guides and other basic knowledge. I've learned how to carve wood with a knife, reshape plastic in an oven and change the cut of a pair of jeans. Not glamorous, but someone's going to have to do this stuff, and every skill that every person learns puts us all ahead.
