Hygiene

Being Commander Zero is not all sunshine and stun grenades…there are a zillion mundane things to work on as well as the more exciting stuff. You never say Mad Max worrying about toilet paper or toothpaste, didja? Well, there ya go. But someone has to take these things into consideration…bad hygiene can lead to some serious problems in TEOTWAWKI, including but not limited to cholera, typhoid, and dysentary.

SO, one of the things we’re working on today is toiletries. The PACE plan calls for four levels of redundancy. (Primary, Auxiallary, Contingency, Extra) If things get ugly, the plan is to have enough gear and equipment to completely accomodate at least one extra LMI. To this end, one of the things being put together is a toiletry kit to make life a bit easier (and better smelling) for all concerened. Each kit contains: toothbrush, toothpaste, mouthwash, soap, washcloth, shampoo, razors, shaving cream, comb, deoderant, toilet paper, tissues and ac ouple other sundry items. Each kit fits in a 6×6 cardboard carton and there are five cartons packed away in the bunker.

When things get ugly, it is hoped that brother will manage to make it to the relative safety of out here and I need to be able to accomodate him and his family. Hence, these extra goodies. Of course, he’ll bring some of his own gear along as well, but you have to be prepared in case all he can get away with is the clothes on his back.
