Ah heat. A tent in the house can help retain alot of heat. Add a candle and your good to go. A hot water bottle in the bottom of sleeping bag will get you through half the night. Wake up drink/dump cold water and pee in your bottle(don't repeat) gets you through the other half.

Well, for a while at least that would give you both heat and lighting. I suppose it's all a matter of perspective; eh?!you can always burn the neibors house

So, would you then use the hot water bottle in the same manner the next night? Ewwww!

I've already planned to disassemble the wooden gate surrounding all the dumpsters in my complex if I ever needed heat that badly. Well, assuming everyone is dead and no one is going to care about the missing gate.

I see you running, tell me what your running from
Nobody's coming, what ya do that was so wrong.
buffer zone BABY!!!
I have yet to see mentioned aluminum foil being packed in the SHTF bags. It works great for cooking meat/veggies, is very lightweight to pack, reusable, can be used for signaling, made into a spear/hooks for fishing, and worst case scenario it can be made into a nifty little hat so BIG BROTHER can't track your brainwaves (not to mention stylish). Any thoughts?
I carry a 3" x 5" glass signal mirror for signaling and usually buy another one to keep around every year or two so I have a bunch lying around. In my experience the plastic versions or smaller versions do not work quite as well and I don't think you can beat the quality of the glass ones. The bigger the better I suppose.
I haven't ever had much luck signaling with aluminum foil. I supposed if you had enough of it it would work in the same fashion as an emergency blanket (in the manner that it is reflective). But I do agree that it is a very important tool. I cook all the time using it while camping. Through a steak, potatoes, and a chopped onion and some salt and pepper, wrap in the foil and set on the fire coals and you got a pretty good meal.
It is also important for hat making...
I'm having a hard time imagining an aluminum foil hook, or spear being very useful. Can you elaborate?
