I’m thinking either Bic lighters or cigarettes, just to trade
clean water
We can clean up the entire Capital Wasteland!
Aqua-pura for sale!
I was thinking Fallout 4 when I said it. The cans of pure water.
This really is it. Sure, a high water ratio soup would provide both nourishment and fluids for living, but basic clean water allows for cleaning and the ability to grow food or trade for other stuff.
Plus truly unlimited means you can start your own river to help society recover!
We’re putting Gatorade on the crops and they don’t grow. Ground is broken!
I would never have imagined I would witness this becoming our reality but it looks more and more like it.
But it’s got what plants crave!
No silly that’s brawndo! Gatorade just isn’t there yet you see.
Came here to say just that.
If you are going that route: Rule of 3
3 minutes without oxygen. 3 days without water. 3 weeks without food (I think it is also “3 hours without shelter” but that is a much more environmental factor and feels shoehorned in). And, depending on the apocalypse, clean air can be hard to come by.
I’ve heard it phrased “3 hours without shelter in inclement weather”.
Yeah, obviously need the first that that will kill you. We take breathable air for granted. But if you need an infinite supply of clean air, you are probably dead anyway. An infinite supply of water has many uses beyond drinking and hygine – irrigation, power, and cooling come to mind as very useful post-apocalypse.
