I have a 3500W and an 1800W, both in good condition.

Something else should be mentioned, though, is that basic skills are at least as important.
Do you know how to fix a leaky pipe?
Hell, do you even know where your main water shutoff is?
Can you fix or cover a broken window if you need to?

Those sorts of things.

I can’t this list seriously when they put an egg beater as number 8. Is this a joke?

Most earthquake kits are geared towards like three days.. although I think they recently raised the specs to have enough stuff to last a week or ten days.

Like I said, basic skills! Even being able to do something like make a hot cup of coffee can help hugely in the mental stress - coping arena.

I have guns and ammo, figure there will be alot of expendable liberals that have these items already.

So you think acting like Mohammed is a good idea??? Brigandage tends to make you permanently unpopular with the neighbors.

I remember hurricane Beulah back in the '60s.
People were lined-up around the block for egg beaters.

Dehydrated, dried whole eggs have a shelf life of like 15 years as long as they are unopened and not exposed to Oxygen.

If you don’t have any, I guess you won’t need an egg beater!

21. hair clippers and razors.
In a Mad Max world gone wild, it will be important to maintain morale and be able to distinguish normal people, (such as freepers) from the wild-haired, bearded untermenschen: leftiess, zombies and such.
So what do you say? While we battle the forces of darkness let’s keep that brain pan `high and tight’ & strictly strak.
