I received some money recently. I have decided to put a portion of it aside to spend on retrofitting the house and packing in some supplies for 6 for a year.
I want to be able to rotate the supplies through our regular pantry. I also will be retrofitting our well to pump into a holding tank...and I am looking for a good wood cookstove, I have a big jotol in the living room.
Candles, oil lamps whatever. Your input and links would be appreciated.

One thing to consider - long before year is up you will likely have to deal with defending against people who did not stockpile.

Keep a few thousand dollars of cash on hand. Small bills and rolls of change.
Several guns and a good supply of ammo. A shotgun too with various round; buckshot, slugs and birdshot.
A water purifier and some pre-packed food that keeps a long time. Freeze-dried or nitrogen-packed food.
A barrel of gasoline with fuel stabilizer added should keep for two years. Rotate your supply.

To start out with you need to categorize your potential threats. basicly start with power outage and work up to the end of the world as we know it. Spend your money preparing for those things tha are most likely to happen.
What is your situation? Family? Home ownership? Is a shtf situation most likely to make you bug in or bug out?

Check out what the Mormon Church recommends. They have one of the most comprehensive programs out there.

For starters,get some high quality LED flashlights,rechargeable batteries and a solar panel to power the battery charger.If you don't already own any weapons,now is the time to buy.A 12 gauge shotgun,a .30 semi-auto rifle,and .45 handgun are good choices.Get water purification tablets at a minimum,check out the water filters on the survival sites.And buy a generator,5kw minimum.

Get an AR-15 for self defense.

A good quality generator would ease a few bad situations.

I have looked through the Mormon church websites and have not found one that was comprehensive and down to earth.

Nice, but this isnt going to rotate through my regular pantry. I am looking for things I can purchase locally at distributors.

Ready.gov has a good starter list of disaster supplies.
Remember to plan for a 72 hour period minimum.

Been to Google. Too much hype and not enough good down to earth information.

Yep, the shotgun is a sometimes overlooked home defense weapon.
