Prepapre for Doomsday with a bucket of Emergency Food!

[Trample the Elderly]

It would be better to make a few close friendships / aquiantences with people who grow their own food, own firearms, and keep their mouths shut.

All those servings of food are nice to have around, but next to worthless if you don't have clean water.

Me, I just squirrel away things people will want if the lights go out and don't come back on: batteries, booze, bullets, soap, food, water, razor blades, heirloom seeds, petrol, oil, hand tools, penicillin, condoms, aspirin, and a host of other things I don't care to list. I use these things anway, so they'll not go to waste just sitting in my cupboard.

An old Monacan told me. "In times of peace, prepare for war."

How big of a cache do you have of these items?

I'll never tell. let's just say, if I get laid off I'll not have to worry about where my next meal is coming from for awhile.

Honestly, nothing that I can't use up myself in a long period of time (a year). If things get tough I can make it last (two and a half). Except for the booze, which I don't drink. Everclear comes in handy down here since it's illegal.

Somethings I will just use for barter, IE: glass & stainless steel syringes, stainless steel surgical kits, strait razors, filtration kits, not to mention you can never have enough booze and condoms.

I don't expect the end of the world to come. If things get real effed up, I can step across the street into the White Oak Swamp and just chill. I used to do that anyway, but we've been having a rabies problem lately.
