'I’m at the point where I tell people “Go to the store. Buy as much as you can fit in your trunk. After you unload it at home, do it again”'

I have been invested in Ammunition for a good many years, I have recently endeavored to diversify my investments these past few months.

I have put a largish sum into Ramen Noodles, Coffee, Canned Hash and Spam, Beans, Rice, Spices, Tea, Canned Fruits and Vegetables, Several Water Purifiers, a small portable single butane burner with several cases of Butane canisters, and bags of Salt and Sugar all stored in water proof containers and all the dry goods sealed in vacuum packs.

Also several battery operated lanterns and flashlights and a system to charge those batteries using our SUV. Plus a couple of Kerosene heaters and we recently installed a natural gas wall heater that can run without electricity.

Several of my friends thought I was off my rocker till the power was off several days in my county. We were eating and cooking and reading by lantern and staying warm. They were moving to hotels and relatives homes and those who still had power were driving many miles to buy food since our grocery stores were without power.

Two of those friends came by after the power was on and asked for my shopping list for self sufficiency.
