Lucifer's Hammer (novel)

[Hestia]

8. Another good book series is Dies the Fire - about people banding together after an EMF

What always struck me about LH (I read years ago) was the plan put into action by the Hollywood producer or director who took Boy Scout troops for a week of rough camping - very few outside supplies - in case they became stuck in the woods somehow and needed to know how to eat and clean drinking water, etc.

Of course, we could not do what he did - went and wrote *checks* for massive trade supplies - spices like pepper, bottles of liquor, massive amounts of meats that he then made into jerky and pemmican. That was when checks took a week or more to clear your account.
