1. Guns! Shotgun most commonly a simple 12-gauge pump (20-gauge if weaker-statured people will be using it.) Pistol If you live in a state where its legal to own/carry a pistol for self defense, then you should be doing it. Battle Rifle Were talking those mean, state-of-the art, misnamed assault rifles. Mines in .223 caliber, and I make no excuses for it. Its accurate out to long distances, accepts a 30-round magazine, and puts out a high rate of suppressive fire. And make sure you have plenty of ammo. (Were talking thousands of rounds. No one ever came out of a firefight saying Darn, I wish Id had fewer bullets!) 2. Water 3. Heat 4. Food 5. Medical supplies 6. Power and Lights 7. Communications 8. Transportation 9. Entertainment 10. God

***I also HAD a .22 Mossberg from the 40s and it is a VERY reliable and well sighted gun. I would prefer a scoped Marlin****
I lost a nice 42-mb Mossburg. The best rifle in .22 is the Remmington Nylon 66.
It may be better to die early than to die later for many...
I would agree on that its always a good idea to have some emergency cash as well as using it as much possible to purchase your supplies.
Always assume that if there is paperwork involved, certain parties will know about it.
You are probably correct. I'm guessing in places like Chicago, NY and MA only the government's own thugs are allowed to have them. Of course without registration who's to know?
TOOLS!
If there is a bread line, GET IN IT. If you don't, everyone knows you have supplies and you then become a target.
Realize that you can't stock everything, learn everything, and plan for everything. If at all possible, get to know those people around your homestead who are of a similar mindset.

Or a diesel?
Great for clearing brush too.
Compass and local maps.
Hard to get ahold of - one of the items that’s still missing from my list.
CZ52 - usually less than $100, bullets @ 10 cents a round.
8 bullet clip, penetrates body armor, so loud that it will scare away people
I’m good with the self defense, good with the medical, good with the radios, coldweather gear,need more food, but have a few weeks worth, good with the batteries, flashlights knives, books, manuals, etc.
There is just that sick feeling I always get that there is something i’m missing.
Better keep him fat, then...
Yes - go with metal. Plastic is permeable, and on long term storage it occasionally splits. Back in the bad old Carter shortage days, some people in a nearby subdivision to where I was living then stored gas in plastic milk jugs in their garage. Their water heater was in the garage. Either one of the jugs split or enough vapor oozed out due to the permeability to set the whole mess on fire - goodbye house.
There is always a gap. As long as you keep thinking, there will always be a gap that must be filled.
And you just keep hoping that someday never comes, so you have more time to prepare.
What pisses me off more than anything is hat i try warning people arond me and they think I’m nuts.
