    People talk about stockpiling food. How about stockpiling used cars, pre-whatever year remote controls were built in? And gasoline, oil and anti-freeze? And mechanic’s tools? Several of the same make, model and year would provide interchangeable parts. Or maybe just raise oxen, horses, donkeys.
