Conducting Step Two Logistical Audit

April 13, 2025. rswfire is conducting a systematic audit while parked and using his Jeep's fuel for internet connectivity. He is living off-grid in his 24-foot RV without solar power, relying on alternator charging. He has established post office boxes in two Oregon coastal towns and is focused on assessing his preparedness across logistical domains.

[0:01]Okay, this is step two.

[0:03]Um, so step one is uploading right now.

[0:07]Um, because I'm using my Jeep's fuel, I

[0:09]want to try to be efficient about this.

[0:10]I'm just going to ask I'm going to

[0:11]answer all the questions, get them all

[0:13]uploaded, and we'll get the responses

[0:15]after. So, this is um step two of the

[0:18]audit, logistical domain. Food, water,

[0:20]energy, tools, material survival

[0:23]systems. Okay, food systems. Number one,

[0:26]how much non-p perishable food do you

[0:28]currently carry in days or weeks of

[0:30]survival time if you had no access to

[0:32]stores? I have nothing. What types of

[0:35]foods do you stock primarily? Canned,

[0:37]freeze-dried, rice, beans, protein

[0:38]heavy, etc. So, my diet sucks.

[0:42]Um, when I lived on campgrounds and I

[0:44]wasn't offrid, I was making hamburgers

[0:46]every night and I was making bagels in

[0:48]the morning. That was a pretty good

[0:49]routine for me. That was what I managed

[0:51]to integrate cuz I'm not a great cook

[0:53]and stuff like that.

[0:55]Um, I've been trying to get better at

[0:57]it. I'm going be honest, I really

[0:58]struggle at this part. So, um, I just

[1:02]got stuff to make salads out of using

[1:04]cabbage, onions, um, celery, cheese.

[1:08]Then I got some lunch meat, which, you

[1:10]know, I've been using that for dinner.

[1:12]Basically, it's just, um, ham and cheese

[1:13]and bread. Um, but I can also cut that

[1:16]ham up and um, put it in my salads. And

[1:21]um a friend of mine's been teaching me

[1:24]to like I need to start buying canned

[1:26]chicken or you know cooking chicken

[1:28]breast and I can put that into my

[1:29]salads. I want to make the salads a big

[1:31]part of my diet. So um that's kind of

[1:34]where I'm going with

[1:35]that. Not a good cook and this part I'm

[1:38]really not good

[1:39]at. Do you have any redundant sourcing

[1:42]strategies? Fishing gear, foraging

[1:44]skills, burable food goods? None. Want

[1:47]to learn to fish? I've been planning to

[1:49]learn. I want to learn to forge for m um

[1:52]mushrooms and stuff, but you know, I

[1:53]have no experience in any of that. Okay.

[1:56]Water systems. Number two, what is your

[1:58]current water storage capacity in

[1:59]gallons or liters? I'm not sure um about

[2:02]the

[2:04]capacity. That's something I know you

[2:06]could look up or just assume based on

[2:08]the size of my RV, 24T RV, and what the

[2:11]standard sizes are. Yeah, I am good at

[2:13]cleaning my tanks. Very good at that.

[2:15]Um, I can get fresh water easily enough.

[2:19]I think I use it in about a week cuz

[2:20]it's been about a week. I'm almost out

[2:22]of water. I need to go and refill

[2:24]that. All right. So, do you have

[2:26]filtration, purification systems,

[2:28]portable filters, boiling setups, water

[2:31]tablets? So, I have a filter. Um, no

[2:35]boiling setups, no water tablets. How

[2:38]often do you need to resupply under

[2:39]normal conditions? About once a week, I

[2:42]think. Maybe. I I don't know. I mean, I

[2:44]try to be efficient and everything, but

[2:47]um I only showered twice this week. I

[2:50]wish I was showering more, but offer

[2:51]that's harder and I just haven't

[2:53]integrated that as well yet. But I know

[2:55]that it would, you know, fill up my gray

[2:56]tank very quickly and I go through my

[2:58]fresh water very quickly. So, um you

[3:01]know, having showered twice and doing

[3:02]dishes and, you know, using my toilet

[3:04]and um you know, just normal normal

[3:08]everyday things, I went through my water

[3:10]in about a week. Number three, energy

[3:12]systems. What is your primary source of

[3:14]electrical energy? Solar panels,

[3:16]generators, alternator charging, battery

[3:18]banks. Yeah, battery banks. A couple of

[3:20]those. There's a few more I want to get.

[3:22]And um like I said, I use my inverter

[3:26]for charging, which I guess that's

[3:27]alternator charging. Very cool. Would

[3:29]love to get a new solar system at some

[3:31]point. Do you have backup energy options

[3:34]if your main system fails? So, the

[3:36]inverter was my backup system. If I if I

[3:38]wasn't if I didn't have power at a

[3:39]campground and I didn't have solar, then

[3:41]I was going to go to my inverter. I

[3:42]don't have my solar anymore and I'm not

[3:43]on a campground that has power. So, I'm

[3:46]using my backup

[3:47]option. What devices are essential for

[3:49]your operations that rely on

[3:51]electricity, communications,

[3:52]refrigeration tools? Definitely my

[3:54]refrigerator cuz I thought I was going

[3:55]to lose that, but I'm able to keep my

[3:57]batteries going, which I'm very happy

[3:58]about that. So, my

[4:00]fridge, satellite internet, my phone, uh

[4:03]my

[4:05]laptop. That's probably the main ones.

[4:08]Number four, tools and equipment

[4:10]systems. What core tools do you carry

[4:12]for self-sufficiency? Mechanical tools,

[4:14]cutting tools, fire making tools, repair

[4:15]kits,

[4:16]etc. Okay, so I I have got all kinds of

[4:19]tools.

[4:20][Music]

[4:22]Um, you know, sockets and screwdrivers

[4:25]and I even got some power tools.

[4:28][Music]

[4:30]Um, those things that nail really hard

[4:33]into a wall. I don't know what those are

[4:35]called, you know, and a drill. and um

[4:40]things like that. Like this, this was

[4:42]stuff I bought before I started my

[4:43]journey. I feel like I did really well

[4:44]on that part. I've got plenty of

[4:47]tools. Um I don't think I have any

[4:51]cutting tools. Fire making tools. I do

[4:53]have things for that. So, I've got

[4:54]lighters, I've got matches, I got

[4:55]waterproof matches. I've even got one of

[4:57]those um things that you strike. Uh

[5:01]repair kits. I mentioned the the one for

[5:04]the

[5:04]tires. That's probably get there. Do you

[5:08]have redundancy for critical tools,

[5:09]multiple cutting tools, backup battery,

[5:11]etc. I'm going to say no. Any high skill

[5:13]equipment you use regularly? Welding,

[5:15]fabrication, electronic repair? I know

[5:17]nothing about that. This is not the life

[5:18]I lived. I was a programmer. Number

[5:20]five, supply chains. Where do you

[5:22]currently resupply most often? Towns,

[5:24]markets, online shipments? Mostly in

[5:27]town. Um, I've been getting post office

[5:29]boxes as I explore the coast. I actually

[5:31]have two right now. I have one in Port

[5:32]Orford and I have one in Lakeside. about

[5:34]every 2 hours away. I'm trying to get a

[5:36]post office so I can get stuff from

[5:38]Amazon if I had

[5:40]to. How vulnerable is your supply line

[5:43]to disruptions? Would a shipping delay,

[5:45]fuel shortage, or supply collapse

[5:46]immediately impact your survivor? Yes,

[5:47]it would. I assume it would. Optional

[5:50]field reflection. How would you describe

[5:52]your relationship with material needs

[5:54]right now? Minimalist, abundant but

[5:56]fragile, balanced, but stretched.

[6:00]uh material

[6:02]needs probably pretty minimalist like

[6:04]I'm

[6:05]not you

[6:07]know I live a pretty basic life now very

[6:10]happy with it um and my phone's very

[6:13]important I guess I don't watch a lot of

[6:16]TV I don't watch any TV I listen to

[6:18]music all the time and

[6:21][Music]

[6:23]um I don't have a lot of material things

[6:26]not not since living this way I got rid

[6:27]of everything

[6:29]What material stress points do you

[6:31]intuitively feel are close to critical,

[6:33]even if not yet

[6:34]urgent? Material stress

[6:39]points. I can't think of any. Okay, I

[6:43]guess that's part two. That one wasn't

[6:45]so hard, I guess, because all the

[6:46]answers are low. I'm not ready.

Summary

rswfire conducts step two of a systematic audit focused on logistical domains while using his Jeep's fuel for internet connectivity. He methodically answers questions about **food systems**, revealing he carries no non-perishable food reserves and struggles with cooking, currently relying on salads, ham and cheese sandwiches, with plans to incorporate canned chicken. For **water systems**, he operates a 24-foot RV with standard tank capacity, requiring weekly refills, and maintains good tank cleaning practices but limited purification options.

His **energy systems** rely on battery banks and alternator charging through an inverter, having lost his solar setup and currently operating without campground power connections. Essential electrical devices include refrigerator, satellite internet, phone, and laptop. For **tools and equipment**, he carries comprehensive mechanical tools, power tools, and fire-making supplies acquired before starting his journey, though lacks cutting tools and high-skill equipment knowledge.

His **supply chain** depends on town resupply with post office boxes in Port Orford and Lakeside for Amazon deliveries. He acknowledges vulnerability to supply disruptions and describes his material relationship as minimalist, having disposed of most possessions when transitioning to RV life. He identifies no immediate material stress points despite acknowledging low preparedness levels across most categories.
