• Sources of Shock Proof Products designed to survive shocks. May be industrial strength products or meeting military specifications, etc. Assumed also to be appropriately padded during a massive earthquake, but nevertheless jolted.

• Sources for Maintainable Products - those that will also be durable enough to withstand earthquakes and dampness, but most importantly are easily repaired with parts that can be manufactured by the average person with materials at hand.

• Mold Control - a problem facing indoor gardeners in damp, gloomy weather will be mold and fungus, and commercial chemical controls will probably be unavailable.

• Exploration of Foxfire Solutions - the book series Foxfire, on the Troubled Times recommended reading list, contains explicit instructions on how our folks in Appalachia lived a century ago, during simpler times. Applicable solution-bits presented in the book could be packaged for the web, with proper credits given to the authors and publisher, of course. Some Foxfire solutions, i.e. soap making, spinning and weaving, and drying vegetables, have already been located and packaged for the Troubled Times pages.

• Troubled Times content available via ftp Download. This should be by major topic - food, energy, health, shelter, etc. The ftp material needs to be Troubled Times pages with the hypertext commands removed. Requires periodic maintenance, as the material keeps growing with the linking pages in particular under constant change. Should include instructions for users, and a note reminding them that they can just print pages off the screen with their browsers, and using this method they get the graphics too.

• Permaculture Tips in an abreviated list to add to the list already begun for the Food page. These tips should be appropriate for Aftertime living circumstances.
