Heres an idea. Who Owns a wheelbarrow?
I use mine in the garden, for taking water to the animals,carting logs,moving horse muck.
It would be good for shifting all sorts come shtf. What do you think?

If you’re seriously into your garden or anything else manual for that matter, they're a hard thing to live without.

A good old sack barrow is also worth it's weight in gold,

once lived in a place with no central heating, had one of those fires that ran on calor gas, used to dred it running out, having to lugging the empty bottle down to the petrol station then a full one home.

Found a barrow in the garden among the weeds and was away

I have one - think its an absolute necessity if you have a garden of any size.

Just as a thought - what about puncture repair kits? Might need to fix the wheel and find that it is not possible to have someone else do it. That and a pump would help to keep bicycles operational too. I will have to invest in one - now that I have thought of it.

Yes indeed, in the forthcoming hyperinflationary economic dislocation it might be useful in order to cart your wallet to the shops in order to purchase a bottle of milk. Make sure to lock it though - in the German Wiemar hyperinflation there were reports of people tipping the money out and nicking the wheelbarrow.

any decent garage or tyre depot will repair a wheelbarrow tyre for you.

I fill my tyre with slime- the stuff in bike tyres that makes a minor puncture" self-healing".To fix a puncture you will need a repair kit and motorcycle tyre levers. Easy.

True, but will they be able to do it post SHTF? That's what concerns me.

buy and store a few spare tyres, you could even buy some of the solid type..should save on punctures, failing that get yourself a few tubes of Tyreweld.

I read a tip once that suggested using builders expanding pu foam in a wheelbarrow tyre to make it solid & puncture proof. I haven't done it myself but I guess it would be an option post collapse

Or have a wooden wheel with a metal rim
