Sometimes I'm amazed at how spoiled modern Americans are. And to be honest, I have to include myself.

I try to remind myself just how lucky I am, but sometimes I go days without thinking about it.

They take it all for granted. And because of this, they'll be that much more miserable when the grid goes down. Not only will they be unprepared physically (food storage, water purification, etc), they will be unprepared psychologically.

10. Baths / Showers
9. Makeup
8. Communication
7. Internet
6. Toilet Paper
5. Lighting
4. Medicine
3. Caffeine
2. Food
1. Running Water
