Well I suppose you should know the truth.
3 days or 9 meals away from anarchy.
15 days from cannibalism.
1st wave of deaths at 7 days. Lack of water.
2nd wave of deaths from water borne parasites at 27 days
3rd wave at 45-60 days from starvation.

I totally agree with all this, and have it all (minus the solar), but the bigger question I'm asking is: HOW MUCH? How many years/months/decades supply of propane do I need to make it through, or should I be planning on something much more sustainable in the long-term? Are we talking about getting through 2-5 years of hardship, or are we talking about 30 years of boiling water for baths?

Totally! You are correct. Now, for those who survive that initial scourge of death, do you see "things" getting back to normal in 10 years, 30 years, 100 years? What will be the new normal for the first decade?

Absolutely---that's just good survivalism. But, for example, when you say "clothing" what do you mean----clothes for the next few years, or fabric supplies for the next generation, or a loom because the textile industry will be 100 years in coming back?
