Buy a few banannas and practise your stitching techniques.

Don’t forget educating yourselves in amputating and cauterizing. There are probably some great old books on those important methods. Barbers once used leeches and bloodletting for great cures, too. [Little irony and humor there.]

I have my EMT textbook and large EMT box with wound treatment items and have leg and arm splints.

For badly bleeding wounds, I have Celox to stop the bleeding and Steri-Strips to close large wounds after they are cleaned and antibiotic ointment is applied.

Have oxygen tank and masks. Have antibiotics, plus over the counter meds for various ailments.

If someone doesn’t have Celox and Steri-Strips, those are the two items I would recommend as very important along with the antibiotic ointment.

Training, training, training.

Red Cross first aid course at a minimum; better yet, take a course for EMT.

All those medical supplies you’re laying by won’t do a bit of good if you don’t know how to use them.

And you’ve obtained your carry permit and picked up a weapon or two; but do you know how to disassemble them, clean, maintain, and repair them?

Excellent to be prepared, but don’t neglect the knowledge aspect while you’re laying in supplies “just in case.”

I am in favor of self-sufficiency, BTW, and only wanted to introduce a little humor. And stock up on food to save money against inflation ahead. Find ways to lower your energy costs (heating, cooling, etc.—very important). Get out of debt any way that you can. Do those things by being frugal and becoming more technically educated. Looks like some rougher times ahead.
