Well, they're for gathering water, waterproofing things but yeah, they do have other uses too ;)

Depends on the nature of the shit.

Give me five minutes warning of a full nuclear exchange and I'll be out there in the garden sitting in a deck chair ready to watch the mushroom clouds. Will I survive long? No, but in those circumstances I wouldn't want to. As for the other stuff, there are more important things than electronics. It's an interesting exercise to sit down and think what can be abandoned in place whilst you make your escape, do you take tools and a multimeter or an extra bottle of water and a basic first aid kit? My money would be on the water and medical gear.

Eighteen years ago I relocated  to a different continent and faced some hard choices about what I took with me to my new home. In the end everything I owned fitted on to a single freight pallet with room to spare and I used the freight costs I saved to buy new stuff at the other end.

There is great regional variation in geography and the type of disasters that bring down the grid. But in general we have better reliability than the US with some caveats.

Thanks for the details, some countries do disaster preparedness well, Australia and US dont seem to be them and it sounds like Canada is similarly poor in co-ordinating its population to be prepared.

In Canada, the government expect people to be able to live all by themselves for 72 hours when a natural disaster stricks.

Also, when a major natural disaster occurs, the military forces usually get involve, but they need an order from the Minister, and this always take time.
