Disagree on the glo sticks. I used to stock those but their shelf life is so short the darn things were useless everytime I pulled them out.

Something we’ve decided to use rather than candles: AA battery-powered wax candles.

We live in an area with violent earthquakes and an open flame is dangerous. We use these LED-lit candles once the sun goes down.

We’re now looking into solar panel-charged battery systems as a way to keep from buying batteries. So far I haven’t been able to find batteries that will hold a charge longer than four hours.

The candles themselves are expensive but we really like them. They do not contribute to the ambient heat during summer but still provide the illusion of warmth at night during winter.

#9 for me would be Frank’s Red Hot and/or Tabasco green.

Agree.

I think bic lighters, duct tape, and to a lesser extent, ziplock bags are prepping essentials.

3. Bullion Cubes

i) Bullion comes in cuboids, not cubes

<.center>

ii) Bullion coins are generally more convenient for trading

iii) rather than trade, why not store actual soup fixings?

Anyone know the shelf life of a Bic lighter?

This stuff is the greatest

Granted it's not the best PBJ by far but

It last forever

It has lots of calories

It's good for excursions as making sandwiches with it makes the bread last many days longer and they can get smushed in your pack and still be edible.

And in a pinch, the peanut portion is flammable and can be used to get a fire going

I've gone on long hiking/camping trips and only eating Goober Grape sandwiches. It would be my 1st choice for the coming zombie apocalypse.

Duct tape is #10?

What’s wrong with them? It should be number one.

Duct tape would be ideal for taping plastic to your windows in case you had to “shelter-in-place.” Then you guzzle the tabasco sauce so that the fire in your mouth and throat distracts you from the misery of being cooped up inside your house because a trainload of sarin gas derailed two blocks away. Of course, if that actually happened, you’d need to close your air vents and turn off the air conditioner, too.

Twist-it flashlights are good, too. However, the one I have doesn’t really give an impressive amount of light.

Got ‘em all. Recommend black, brown or OD duct tape, though. You can’t have too much Tabasco sauce, either.

Tabasco Sauce? I can make all I want from a cupboard of home canned hot peppers, but without an endless supply of canning lids (to use and barter) the Tabasco runs out. If shtf long term, canning lids will be worth more to the right people (i.e. other preppers and me) than baggies, Paper Plates or disposable Bic lighters (that’s what flint fire starters are for don’cha know). Baby wipes are nice but, without a stockpile of toilet paper, the prepper who made this list is out of luck when the baby wipes run out. Plastic baggies and paper plates don’t work so well for that. Just sayin’ ...
