You may listen to some of the following and wonder if these places really can help you during a crisis. For example, a movie theatre has snacks but is there really anything if the nutritional value in that place? When you are desperate, snacks can fill the belly and that sugar can get you going to your next scavenge. Besides, there may be some hot dogs in the freezer that have been overlooked!

We must remember that tools are always vital during a situation like this. You will have things at home, maybe a battery charger or generator that needs maintenance. And what about your car? Having the right tools and books can be a life-saver! If you have the room in your backpack, take them!

In the end, we will all probably need a bit of everything so we should never rule any store or place of business out.
