Survivalist Tip: Burlap bags are a good means for the minimalist survivor to carry his or her belongings. They’re sturdy and long-lasting. You can place them on the back of a mule, on the roof of your vehicle, or a shopping cart. (Just make sure the apocalypse has hit before you run around outside with a shopping cart; otherwise people will think you’re a homeless bum.) Burlap sacks are made of densely woven coarse fabric. Indians used them to carry such valuable as corn, clay pots and the butts of White people who pissed them off. You, of course, can utilize them in the same fashion. Large and stretchable, all of your survival gear can be stuffed into a burlap bag: food rations, bottles of water, firearms, flashlights and dandruff shampoo. They’ll be extremely valuable if you have to evacuate your home amidst the chaos and flee into the woods or a relative’s house. And, once things settle down, you can use them to bury the bodies of those you killed when they threatened to steal your shampoo.
