“Lots of ammunition” — but no weapons?
Since I am well prepared including for winter outdoor work and sleeping without heat and keeping my liquids and canned goods from freezing in blackouts, I recently prepared for a new winter blackout angle, being comfortable in an unheated house while sitting and reading or playing cards.
Any prepper has his jackets and gloves, but what about comfortable gear for around the house, things such as wool socks and comfortable snow boots, one of those wearable sherpa blankets, long johns and warm pants etc. but not for outdoors, but for lounging around the house in pretty sedentary activities.
Invest in a couple thousand Bic lighters. They will trade better than gold.
The author is a “dooms day” opportunist.
I have most all what he recommends as I live
in Hawaii, one of the most hazardous places in the world
SOMETIMES.
Most city people can’t possibly do what he recommends.
My list would be much shorter;
don’t live in Democrat run cities.
Work there, make your money there,
but don’t live there.
And bourbon.
Lots of bourbon.
I have enough ammo, food, and medical supplies to make it to at least one dust-up. I have zero illusions that I will survive that encounter so I am not worried.
And if I do... I’ll worry about it then.
Its disappointing to not see any mention of Antibiotics and anti-viral medications. IMHO Cipro, Doxy, Augmentin and Ivermectin in large quantities and expiration dates that are minimum 3 years out should always be on hand.
Pretty good list and it’s good to see him add emergency medical kits and vitamins.
However, OTC meds and any prescription meds you can stock pile could be critical. Also, get any dental work done that’s needed, any elective surgery that you consider important (like cataracts, carpal tunnel, trigger finger), and get as recent a new script for glasses.
Also, shoes and boots. Good winter gear for the north. Books and games, and sewing supplies to mend clothes.

I remember one thing Selco told of.
He had a 20 pound (BBQ Grill size) and He used it to refill Bic type lighters and trade for things He needed.
You can buy antibiotics (e.g., amoxicillin, Keflex, Cipro) on the Internet from fish aquarium suppliers. I have a bottle (100 caps) of each in my safe.

for californians, come the zombie apocalypse, the entire state is likely to be a death trap.
the escape routes are to the north (canada), to the south (mexico), and to the east (tennessee or further southeast).
without dependable gasoline, survivors will bicycle or walk. if wwii refugees are any precedent, most will walk.
from san francisco there are 20+ major bridges to canada, and 20+ major bridges to mexico. so, just in case, be prepared to avoid conflict by swimming your way across, at night, in darkness. every major bridge.
don’t bring more than you can carry on your back comfortably.
a good pair of boots, a handgun and ammo, gold, silver, firestarter, us atlas, flashlight, first aid kit, swiss army knife.
(maybe plus some seeds. and a crossbow.)
the best survival environment would be a small island with a small population of like minded and well-armed people.
(and to be realistic, i do not rate my chances of survival as over 25%, even with the best preparation)
a shelf life of—prepare yourself for this—25 long years
So the emergency rations I bought in 1999 are just about expired now?
Shot guns ,pump and semi auto, semi auto pistols ,9mm,.45 ,10mm, 22lr ,bolt action rifles, couple of S&W Revolvers .38/.357 , 44mag,matching hand gun and rifle caliber. Bug out ammo and hand gun bag.
Lots and lots of ammo. Ammo will be worth as much as silver and gold. always carry a gun or two on your person. Keep your head on a swivel and don’t trust anyone but immediate family. Practice, Practice ,Practice Without at least some of these you are doomed.
