 Zombie movies are finally catching on that gasoline and diesel go bad.

They still treat batteries like magic eternal storage. 

I think a lot about self discharge and cycle limits when thinking about my #hamradio equipment and emergency comms. Haven't thought of any great solution though. 
 In a scenario like that, it's using up what will last in the order that it will provide function and working to provide the softest landing while coming to grips with a pre, iron-age life. 
 For the LOLS 😂  
 I always laugh at the so-called "sovereign" LARPers that love oil/gasoline. You need *so* much infrastructure for that shit to even exist. True sovereignty is tossing some solar panels and batteries on your home. At least those will last a while.
