Survivalists Take Note...

Many survivalists plan on the end of civilization: they have food stores, seeds, shelter, generators... and weapons. But I'll wager they lack what will be needed if those weapons are used: a lime pit.

When you kill the marauder that seeks your food store, you gotta do something about the corpse. Burial is too much work and burning uses up too much precious firewood. No, just have an open pit where you can dump the body and then cover it in lime - sodium hydroxide, not the fruit - which will both disinfect and dissolve the corpse.

If you'd rather not want to consider a future where considerations such as this are important, then do what you can to reduce your consumerism, that you might have a more sustainable sort of lifestyle.

There really is hope for the world, but it involves abandoning the temptation of riches.
