100 Things You Will Wish You had Stored

100 Things You Will Wish You had Stored:http://prepare4emergency.blogspot.com/

How To Be Prepared:

In order to get through any major catastrophe you need to think in terms of survival, protection, food, water, clothing and shelter. Now I'm not Ewell Gibbons but, I don't need to be. Here is one person's opinion on what you will need in the event of a "financial collapse" or other disaster.


1. WATER:

Don't try and store a water supply that's too big to take with you. Buy water filters instead. Portable ones. Also Bleach (chlorine Bleach can "sterilize" water: 1 teaspoon for every 50 gallons.)


2. FOOD:

Think about "high value" and compact nutrition. You can buy from my A-Store if you want. See the set of links on the right to find out how much you need per person.


3. SHELTER :

RV's Are great, but I doubt you will get very far without any available fuel. Think in terms of a high quality tent: again see my links.


4. PROTECTION:

Pepper Spray is good to start with I will explain personal protection on another blog. Sorry, I can't sell guns or ammo but I can help you find what you need. This is an accessories store. We are not going to take on the "gubernment", or any local police. The goal is to protect ourselves from hungry and thirsty criminals that are tired of sleeping on the cold, cold ground.


The dollar is heading towards worthless...

I will blog on other reasons for preparation after I get this done. This is a work of love, not greed. Those that know me know that I have great love for my family and friends.

Those that know me also know that I am right when I tell you something. I was right about stocks, gold, real-estate, the dollar and a host of other things I won't go in to. I am well-educated; well versed, and know money better than any other man on the planet. I don't raise false alarms. This post is dated March 18, 2008. In a matter of weeks for some, months for others, your life is going to change in some very drastic ways. Please follow my advice for your benefit and the benefit of your families.

Tough to argue with that!

Thanks

A good cross-bow could come in handy

http://barnettcrossbows.com/compound...dator_avi.html

Along with a good sling-shot

http://barnettcrossbows.com/slingshots/cobra.html

Anyone ever calculate what it would cost to buy all this stuff and be stocked up for 2 years?
Also a couple questions/

How do you stock up on batteries? These things die after awhile and in normal everyday life I dont use batteries. Well maybe 4 a year for my mouse.. Wouldnt it be better to just get a battery charger and rechargeable batteries? If you really need em you can charge them when you run your generator.

Portable toilet? Why? Do I really need to carry a toilet around with me?

Feminine products? Again why? I guess thats for the married guys?

Backpacks, duffel bags? Again why? If I have to backpack out someplace what do I do with the rest of this crap i just bought?

Carbon monoxide alarm? Really?

Seems like many things on this list can be eliminated pretty easy. If I have to backpack anyplace then whats the point of prepping my home for an emergency. Also if things are so bad that you have to backpack out someplace then I'm not so sure I want to be out backpacking. I mean, if theres a nuke attack and your car doesnt run then what.. your gonna go backpacking? I think not.. I just cant imagine a scenario where backpacking is going to be my only option for survival.. If it is then I'm in the wrong spot to begin with.

It's kind of like the BOB threads where they indicate all the shit you should have in your BOB. You couldn't carry that in a full sized truck. And then where the F are you going to put the 100 kilos of gold.

Mostly good stuff if you are already in your location and plan to sit.

As for the porta-john: I have one and I got to put it to practical use recently. It's nice to take a crap in the garage while they are digging up a septic line in the front yard while reading my handyman magazine :)

A really wise investment should you find one at a yard sale cheap. I also have an antique one that we usually plant pots in. Its a nice wooden chair and you open the lid and there is a chamber pot. It beats the hell out of a 5 gallong bucket.

The last prep items I picked up were survival books and edible wild plants books.

Then I started reading the survival books . . . and I have a whole lot more stuff to buy.

Um...ok. I take exception to number forty six:

46. Flashlights/LIGHTSTICKS & torches, "No. 76 Dietz" Lanterns

---

A headlamp with solar-rechargeable AA batteries makes so much more sense to me than a flashlight or lightstick. It gives you hands-free light wherever you turn your head and has adjustable brightness to match the task at hand. Walking on a trail or preparing dinner...hands free.

I didn't even know that they make wild plant books that are edible. I could see how this could come in handy in a SHTF scenario.

You got me. . . . books about edible wild plants. So there.

Perhaps a link? Father's Day is coming up! Last year we got him a headlamp, but alas it wasn't solar batteries. (More than 1 in the house is good too). TIA.

A good portion, if not all of stored batteries should be rechargable, and make sure you have a solar battery charger or two as well.

BEST RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES + AC CHARGER

AAA for headlamps

Product Description
Worldwide voltage (110-240V)Charges up to 4 AA or 4 AAA cellstery, the next evolutionary step for batteries into the 21st century. eneloop is a totally new type of battery, which satisfies in a unique way the needs and expectations of the consumers


Sanyo Eneloop rechargeable batteries are the leading edge now. I stockpiled mostly AA and some AAA for my headlamps and portable radios. Best bang for the buck. Best to research the solar battery chargers and select one that charges both AA and AAA size batteries. Maybe let him decide on the best solar charger for his needs.

:)

My latest purchase . . . black-out window covering. 50% off at Jo-Ann Fabrics. I can do a whole window-filled room for $22 with the material I purchased today (8 yards).

How to Prepare for the Economic Collapse

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well, along the lines of "100 things", here's more food for thought. I got this back in April.

Survivalism: How to Prepare for the Economic Collapse

by John Paul Mitchell


If this forecast holds true, and a major portion of our states file bankruptcy, there will be widespread panic, our state funded services and programs will be closed down immediately, and confusion amongst political leadership and the citizenry.

Not long after the states file bankruptcy, could we see martial law declared by the President of the United States, as a means to bring order and peace. Those who are not willing to comply with the mandates of the martial law will be hauled off to FEMA camps and military bases throughout the United States.

How can you prepare for this economic collapse now?

Food

• Begin stocking up your cabinets, pantries, and closets with non-perishable food items.
• Purchase a portable camping stove in case your home's electricity is shut off.
• Start consuming a healthier diet so your body isn't dependent on the processed and junk foods we've grown accustom to.
• If you have the space in your yard, plant and grow a garden.
• Stock up on vitamins and necessary supplements to ensure you stay healthy in the next Great Depression.

Household

• Discuss emergency plans with your family, roommates, friends, and/or loved ones.
• Store a stockpile of hygiene items including deodorant, toothpaste, towels, washcloths, and toilet paper.
• Make sure you have a hefty reserve of bottled water on hand, stored in a safe place.
• Keep extra pillows, sheets, and blankets in your closets.
• Have at least one shotgun, rifle, or handgun, if not more.
• Ensure you have enough ammunition to defend yourself, your household, and your loved ones in emergency situations. Ammo can be used for bartering, too.

Community

• Get to know your neighbors.
• Know who you can and cannot trust in your local community.
• Gather together with like-minded individuals in your community, choose designated methods of contact, and choose a few leaders.
• Pick a safe house, where your community coalition will go in emergency situations.
• Pick two alternative safe houses, in case the primary safe house becomes compromised.
• In times of peace, continue to make your community aware of political, social, and economic dangers.

Money

• Save paper and coin money in a safe place in your house.
• Invest in a small or medium size safe to store your money and other valuables.
• Slowly begin withdrawing from your savings and investment accounts on a regular basis. Store this money in a safe location.
• If you can purchase gold, buy it. Gold retains the same value no matter how low or high the currency markets go. Silver coins are also a good investment, as they are more easily used as money.
• Stop paying taxes to save money and force government leaders to listen to the citizenry, the people who put them in office.

Further Reading

Read the survival documents at: http://www.textfiles.com/survival/

It's better to prepare for the worse, and hope for the best.

Take Action

Remember the government belongs to the people and it's our duty to ensure our rights and freedom.

Any small electrical product I have in my BOB is wind up (radio,lanterns,flashlights). That way I don't rely on batteries or sunshine. Wind up and go. Lights/lanterns are all LED, so they require very little wind up time to supply sufficient light. I have a army stove picked up from a co-op in a box ready to go (will burn anything in it). Bow/crossbow is a must. Bullets run out, or to heavy to pack all around. You can have a hundred guns and ammo, but, you aren't packing that stuff around without a trailer. Good bow with reusable arrows (as long as you shoot straight and can find them afterwards). Nobody's gonna match the firepower the authorities have, so, buy for survival only. Defense will be against desperate people only (unfortunate but, unavoidable), so a good crossbow "should" discourage them.

Great list. Thanks MnEagle!

I don't have all of the items of course but hopefully we will be able to stay in our home. We have our own propane tank for heat and we also have a gas stove. We have well water too so the only thing I did was buy a Berkey filter in case we lose power and can't get water. In which case, we have a lake nearby. There is still so much I need to do though. My biggest concern is being able to grow food when our supplies run out. I need to get a bunch of seeds and figure out the best way to store them.

I bought several lanterns that require batteries ( but I also bought a lot of batteries):). I also bought a bunch of candles but should probably get more.

Also canned butter. I think that may come in handy.

Extra vacuum cleaner bags.

You have to be careful about light that reflects off of that. A beacon of hope (for criminals). :-\

If you have poor soil in the yard like I do,
now is the time to get a few yards delivered and amended.
Those non-hybrid seeds are not going to do much good if you can't grow 'em.

Assuming there's still electricity:

Light bulbs
Furnace/AC filters

I have TP at the top of the list.

Try and go a few days without and youll see what I mean.

;)

I just realized there's a gapping hole:


cash
coins



(Save your PMs for the rebuild.)

And if there's electricity/gas:

anything related to your vehicle:

Tires,
Oil
Wipers, etc.

If you don't have a baby, or smoke, or don't need a portable toilet, I estimate the initial investment including the first year of consumables would cost somewhere in the $12,000-$15,000 range. A second year of consumables would be about $5,000 for a family of four.

I agree with your other comments; although there are many good items on this list, I don't think it's well thought out in terms of either priority or self-consistency. For example, would I really need a large supply of Coleman fuel, AND propane tanks, AND charcoal and lighter fluid?

1xx. A case of Everclear. Not for drinking (but yes, you could add it to various things like o.j.), this would be used for sterilizing instruments, disinfecting, and is a good deodorant (does anyone remember seeing the barber's instruments soaking in the plaid Everclear jars when they were a kid?) No denaturants and completely compatible with body chemistry. Also flammable, so can be used as last-resort fuel, or for barter possibilities.

R.

I've been looking at a lot of these lists, my goal is to have 1,000,000 calories and at least 1,000 ounces of silver. Thanks for sharing the list

might be hard to do then when you are giving it away! http://gold-silver.us/forum/showthre...ds-May-25th%29

i wonder how this is affected by new technologies like 3D printing & robotics.

will male-modelled robots be able to belch convincingly after drinking Robot Beer ?

will female-modelled robots be able to fabricate their own feminine hygiene products, using 3D printers ?

if the Survivalist community has an outreach program to the high-tech community, some of these ridiculous ideas could become real.

i think that's one of the charters of Burning Man - they build ridiculous sculpture, whilst living in the desert.


some year we'll go to to Burning Man, and some Japanese sponsored robot will be handing out Hitachi Zig-zag's. :)

now THAT'S something to put on your "100 things" list.

I think Burning Man has been overrun by LGBT's.

You can do all ten steps at once or divide each into a separate week and shopping trip. But you need to get it done as soon as possible. Keep in mind that this is only a starting point and isn’t presented here as a completed list.
1. Head to the nearest Wal-Mart, Kmart, Costco or whatever and pick-up 20 lbs. of white or brown rice and 20 lbs. of pinto beans. White rice has a better storage life while brown rice has more nutritional benefits – your choice.
2. While you’re there grab 5 lbs. mixed beans, 5 lbs. of white sugar, 5 lbs. of iodized salt, one gallon of olive oil (can be frozen to extend shelf-life), 5 lbs. oats, 10 lbs. each of white or wheat flour and cornmeal.
3. Now head over to the canned foods and pick-up 20 cans of canned fruits and 20 cans of canned vegetables. Be sure to buy only those brands and contents you normally eat and nothing exotic. No need to shock the senses.
4. Now over to the canned meats. Pick-up 20 cans of various meats, salmon, stews, spam and tuna. Again buy only those brands with contents you normally eat and nothing exotic.
5. Okay. Now to the to the peanut butter shelf and toss two 40-ounce jars in the cart. The listed shelf life is just over two years and each jar has over 6,000 calories. Peanut butter is an excellent instant survival food.
6. Over to the powdered drink mix – go on I’ll wait…Okay, pick up two 72 Ounce Tang Orange drink canisters (provides 100% of the US RDA vitamin C requirement per 8 oz. glass). Also grab six 19-Ounce Containers of Kool-Aid Drink Mix.
7. Off to the vitamin and supplement aisle, pick up 400 tablets “one a day” multivitamin and mineral supplements. I buy this brand at the local Wal-Mart – comes in 200 count bottle for $8 each.
8. Now to the department we all love – sporting goods. Go to the camping aisle and pick up 4 five gallon water containers. Fill with tap water as soon as you get back home.
9. While you’re there buy 250 rounds of ammunition for your primary defensive weapon. More if you can, but this will be a good start. Also a good universal cleaning kit.
10. And lastly pick up the best LED flashlight you can afford, extra batteries and bulb. Also grab two boxes of wooden matches and several multi-purpose lighters. Don’t forget to date, use and rotate – remember first in first out. Let’s get started. What would you add to the list?

Thanks Mick, that's a good list of preps. A good reminder for us, I added a bit more preps today because of your post.
