WTH you need the ashtray for? To throw at the dog? I dont get it? Ashtray? Beer coozie for sure, Dale Earnhardt ball hat of course, but not an ashtray?...You can easily make one out of an empty beer can with no modifications required at all! You certainly aint gonna last very long in the SHTF!...

MUD!....Really?! That blew right over your head, or are you being facetious?
(In case you're serious, it's a movie reference to "The Jerk", starring Steve Martin.)
As an aside, an apocalypse scenario has far too many variables to really plan for it. Oh, you can do as preppers do, and stock up for about everything imaginable, but then you're expending funds and effort on something that's so far-fetched as to be fantasy/fiction.
I suggest the basics, shelf-stable foodstuffs for a month or two. Water, and/or purification means, heat producing items such as candles and waterproof matches, firearms and ammunition, and a decent shelter, hopefully somewhat remote. To be "trapped" in an urban setting with the rest of the panicked masses will not assist you in survival, and that is the whole point of this discussion......survival.
To those of you that have espoused your beliefs of no firearms; In a SHTF situation, you're going to discover the error of your ways. Don't take my words as insults, but as instructive criticism. You are free to believe as you wish, and you don't have to account to me for yourself, but, there are those who will have no such values as yours, and they will feel no remorse over taking your life, then taking anything of value you may have.
In a post-apocolypse scenario, the risk of communication being down is high, and relying on law enforcement will not have good results. Take a look at the history of Los Angeles, post Rodney King trial, and that should tell you everything you need to know.
Preparing is fine, just be careful of what you expend your resources on to do it.
Just my opinion.....Roger
