Jun 4, 2016 at 6:01 comment added JDługosz @Xen2050 I don't see anything about getting those seeds to grow, or your quote, from your wikipedia reference or the abstract it cites.
Nov 3, 2015 at 15:22 comment added Xen2050 @user2428118 I read about that one, along with the 31,800 year old flower seeds from the Arctic, probably buried by Arctic Ground Squirrels in Siberia but they didn't sprout - the squirrels chewed them up (?) or somehow stopped them from growing, so they "extracted the embryos and successfully germinated plants in vitro" (whole story sounds pretty crazy) And I wasn't positive of the spelling or plural usage of "Millennia" ;-)

Nov 3, 2015 at 14:22 comment added Xen2050 Why would seeds "become useless soon"? I've heard of lots of seeds can be happily used years, decades later. Or do you mean seeds for immediate food, like sunflower seeds or other nuts going stale?
Nov 3, 2015 at 13:30 comment added Whelkaholism Surprised how few answers mention saws. A stock of a few all purpose hand saws (sharpening them is going to be difficult, so grab a few) would be a godsend. Add a couple of chisels and a mallet and you could make a shelter far more sturdy than if you tried to do it with no tools.
