Answer 1

Thanks for bringing up this topic and stating what is needed. It is a very good list.  I am not prepared with  most of these items. I will prepare better.

Thanks again

Answer 2

I am working on it friend. While I agree with angelhunter to a degree, one can never be too prepared. I have many of the items listed but, not in enough numbers yet. I am also well armed.

Answer 3

"WOLVERINES!!!"

Answer 4

Thank you for reminding us.  Winter is coming already and we have most of what we need except water.  The last 2 winters here in Nebr., hubby and I were stranded just a few miles from town and just 2 days, and were not prepared. I'm ready for it this year...almost!  Was horrible nothing hot to drink or eat, let alone keeping us warm.  Now have a wood-burner stove, crank flashlights and radio; food in the freezer, so let nature bring it on!  No, not really; don't like living through it!  My heart sure goes out for those with the devastating natural disasters and heaven help us if terrorists strike!

Answer 5

haha you silly americans

Answer 6

Man survived natural and man-made disasters since the beginning of time without natural gas detectors and toiletries. How much junk one can accumulate is not an indication of preparedness. A little knowledge (creating shelter, ability to recognize edible plants, insects and animals, water location and collection, basic hunting and trapping, fishing, etc.) are far more valuable, even in a major city, than anything you'll find on a store shelf.
