Survival Uses for Ordinary Office Supplies

Preparedness is not only about buying specialized gear. It is also about recognizing how everyday items can solve urgent problems when normal systems fail. In this episode, we look at ordinary office supplies and the practical survival uses hidden in desks, break rooms, mailrooms, and supply closets. From paper, tape, binder clips, and trash bags to furniture, cardboard, cleaning supplies, and electronics, this is a guide to improvisation where people actually spend much of their time. If an emergency happens at work, the most useful tools may already be around you, if you know how to see them differently.
