Shelter
Dust Sealing Tape
Seals gaps around doors and windows against fine airborne dust.
Scenario
Interstellar
Corn is the last crop. Then it will not be.
The blight took wheat, then okra, and it is working through corn on a schedule. There is no war and no invasion — only a planet quietly becoming unable to feed the people on it, and dust where the topsoil used to be.
What kills you
Dust, and the harvest after next.
Rules
- 01Seal the house against dust, every day.

The kit
5 itemsDust indoors is a lung disease with a ten-year fuse.
One clean room in the house is worth more than a clean house occasionally.
Medical
HEPA Air Purifier
Moves room air through a fine filter. Rated by clean-air delivery rate — match it to the room size.
Grain that stays sealed is grain that is still there next year.
Water & food
Vacuum Seal Storage
Removes air so dry goods keep years rather than months. Bags are the recurring cost.
Nobody is making replacement machinery. Everything gets repaired now.
Tools
Mechanics Tool Set
Sockets, spanners and drivers covering the fasteners on a vehicle or machine.
Worn daily, indoors, for years. Buy accordingly.
Medical
