Excellant list. I would like to add a compass , currency in small bill amounts yet in quantity ( $1.00-5.00 bills and a lot of them. Also , save the change. I spent a couple of” all nighters” in Wally World a couple of times, fascinated in the fishing/hunting/camping area. I couldn’t sleep and it is close by. For approximately $2.96 you can buy an Emergency Blanket ( 52in x82.5in )- not bad for the price. The look like aluminum foil but soft. The package is about 3in across x 4.5in long and hanging on hook. I, also found a mulit purpose compass , whistle, therometer for under $3.00. Also, don’t forget the children. Bring lightweight books, word finds, puzzles, games for the whole family. I found a travel size Monopoly very inexpensive ( sorry I don’t remember where ). Most of my shopping is between Dollar Tree , Dollar General anf Walmart or on line. I , do, plan on checking out some of the online food sources. Also, check Walgreens, CVS and Rite Aid. Week before last Walgreens had 24 packs of water for $1.99. I bought 8 at diffent times. a couple of months ago I bought 4 and used 1. I bought dollar tree storage bags and have food stored under my bed , plus , my boots and important keepsakes of my son. Anywho, that’s my imput. Mary

A nice looking list, but far from realistic. There’s a lot more to survival than having a bunch of food socked away. Survival is a mindset as much (or more) than stocking up on STUFF. Been their done that, don’t want to go back, but I know I could if I had to.

All you really need to survive is… food, water, fire and something to protect yourself from those that didn’t think ahead. I hear ya Jimmy Carter. ðŸ˜€
