Great to hear the voice of common sense. Anyone with the smallest bit of life experience knows that you plan for the worst and hope for the best.
Nonperishable groceries, fuel, bottled water, rifle, ammo, your prescription drugs and maybe a small generator are great insurance in case of disaster.
Love these know-it-alls who believe everything the government tells us.

For the last 15 years I have always kept a 12-15 month supply of my heart meds in the closest. The last for at least 3 years and I properly rotate them.
A few years ago my family doctor gave me a script for antibiotic ointment for treating MERSA. He said keep it unopened in the refrigerator for 20 years. Ditto for several months supply of cipro of which he said the same. For all the bad press, cipro is a very effective broad spectrum AB and first choice for anthrax. I'll take my chances with it in a SHTF situation if the alternative is dying of an infection.
Here's a suggestion for everyone, keep 4 or 5 of the large size bottles of 90% isopropyl alcohol on the shelf. It's cheap & lasts forever. And you can burn it in a chafing dish in a pinch!
