1. take only what you need, leave what you dont for others who do unless the material is in danger of being lost
2. if you do take extra material, share freely when possible, and especially for those who cannot easily go out and scavenge traditionally
3. computational power can be shared. friendship is power.
4. competition over the "best" materials: if disputes arise over a bit of material they should be settled peacefully if possible. propose your uses and see who would benefit more, or share the material between the both of you.
5. scavenge equipmemt may require a bit of love and care to become resiliant. be prepared to make repairs.
6. share the knowledge of repair with others if they show interest. keep the line of technicians going.
7. if gear is destroyed due to failed repair or other unseen catastrophe, not all is lost. make backups, and often. data is more fragile than hardware, and in many cases, more valueable
8. use power wisely, rechargable cells don't last forever.
9. handle rechargable cells with care. if a punctured cell is found, try to not carry it over great distance. clear an area to prevent any potential fire from spreading, or better yet, contain and prevent. id you see a burning cell, stay away from the fumes, they are dangerous to your health. try to contain the fire. sand is your friend, do not use water on lithium cells.
