Disrespectful article on why people should make basic preparations. I realize it was meant to be funny -- but the author wasted valuable space to tell people practical reasons why each step would make people better prepared. You also wasted the time of the readership.

This list of items is minimal, and insufficient for real preparations (for any real disaster). You forgot the obvious, like heating, clothing, ability to cook without electricity and so on.

7) Build a greenhouse

This ties in nicely with growing a garden. A greenhouse allows you to get a jump on spring and start seedlings ahead of the last frost, assuming the nuclear winters don't freeze us all to death first. Greenhouses can be built with simple supplies and designs or constructed as master-built houses incorporated into $20 million estates. A greenhouse gives you more control over the environment your plants are grown in, and it's a nice backup in the event of resurrected dinosaurs taking out your outside garden. Greenhouses are also easier to defend, which is good when you have to repel the sun-hating, virus-carrying monster-human hybrids.
