One of the main reasons why I love watching people like Primitive Technology on the 'toob.
Chap goes through the process of building shelter from nothing but the shorts keeping you decent, and access to a bit of yard with a creek that has some good clay and sometimes grows iron eating bacteria.
Yeah, and over a very long crisis, some of that could become relevant. (The general concept of bootstrapping technology from nothing is kind of an obsession of mine)
Before equipment starts to wear out, anything that can run off a solar panel will continue to work (if you can afford it), though, and it’s hard to picture no leftover metal any time in our natural lifespans.
In a short-term disaster, just how to survive your local climate and navigate without help until things go back to normal is the main concern. And you can pretty much rely on other people being helpful. In the medium term, the way people live in the third world or remote areas right now is the best source.
