Top 30 Salvage Priorities
1. Copper electrical wire – Essential for electrical repairs, power distribution, motors, and generators.
2. Deep-cycle batteries – Energy storage for solar, wind, and backup systems.
3. Solar panels – Long-term renewable electricity with few moving parts.
4. Charge controllers – Protect batteries and manage solar charging systems.
5. Power inverters – Convert DC battery power into AC power for many appliances.
6. Electric motors – Can be repurposed for pumps, machine tools, fans, and small generators.
7. Alternators – Useful for building charging systems and small-scale power generation.
8. Transformers – Important for adapting voltages in electrical systems.
9. Circuit breakers and fuse panels – Protect electrical installations and simplify repairs.
10. Electrical switches, relays, and contactors – Core control components for automation and power distribution.
11. Generators – Valuable for emergency and backup power when fuel is available.
12. Fuel storage tanks and fuel cans – Support operation of generators, vehicles, and machinery.
13. Hand tools – Screwdrivers, wrenches, pliers, hammers, files, chisels, and saws remain indispensable.
14. Multimeters and electrical test equipment – Essential for diagnosing and repairing electrical systems.
15. Power tools (with batteries and chargers) – Greatly increase repair and construction efficiency.
16. Fasteners – Screws, bolts, nuts, washers, anchors, hose clamps, and rivets are consumed constantly.
17. PVC and metal piping with fittings – Useful for water, drainage, compressed air, and conduit.
18. Water pumps – Critical for wells, irrigation, and moving water.
19. Pressure tanks – Improve water system performance and reduce pump cycling.
20. Bearings – Common wear items in motors, pumps, fans, bicycles, and machinery.
21. Belts, chains, pulleys, and sprockets – Key mechanical power transmission components.
22. Industrial wiring connectors and terminal blocks – Speed up repairs and make systems safer.
23. LED lighting and fixtures – Highly efficient illumination with low power consumption.
24. HVAC fans and blower assemblies – Useful for ventilation, drying, and cooling equipment.
25. Stainless steel and aluminum sheet/stock – Versatile materials for fabrication and repairs.
26. Machine shop equipment – Lathes, drill presses, milling machines, vises, and grinders enable local manufacturing.
27. Welding equipment – Makes it possible to repair and fabricate structural and mechanical components.
28. Technical manuals, service manuals, engineering references, and printed books – Preserve knowledge needed to repair and rebuild systems without internet access.
29. Radio communications equipment – Enables coordination across communities when conventional networks fail.
30. Storage containers and shelving – Protect salvaged parts from moisture, corrosion, pests, and loss while keeping inventories organized.

Some of this is review, but most is new knowledge for you all.
Being able to re-salvage and repurpose old electrical systems ensures that you and your tribe are able to survive.
This wont guarantee success, as all situations are complex and play out differently, but it ensures that you have some basic knowledge of what to do in SHTF situations.
