thankfully i dont believe in throwing anything away, if it can be repaired i will fix it, and that is also something i am teaching my 2 year old son, well will be as we go along, i believe the shtf situation will happen at some point no matter what it is, and i think its a good skill to have to be able to repair and maintain what we have already, the disposable world we live in today will not last forever
