    A pet peeve of mine is how most post-apocalyptical fiction is full of cool automobiles, even years after the calamity. Cars would stop working pretty soon after the disappearance of modern supply chains and infrastructure maintenance.

      You could probably get a motorcycle to run on alcohol, which should be pretty easy for one person to ferment and distill right?

        They would need a lot of fermentable sugars as well as energy for distilling and I reckon both things would be in short supply after the apocalypse.

          If guess if we're talking mad max but I was thinking more along the lines of "breakdown of supply chain" You could always use solar to distill.

          I'm not a weird prepper I just think it's fun to think about.
