<If you have plenty of guns and ammo... food & water is easy to get !!!

I generally agree, but there is planning for Armageddon and planning for Snowmageddon. If weather prohibits you from getting out of the house or food delivery trucks from getting into town (as happened this past winter in the DC area), those boxes of bullets won’t help you as much as canned food will.

Food storage is good for folks in extreme weather locations, for the elderly who may not be able to get get as much as they’d like, for singles who may not have networks of friends who can help them in an emergency, and for when times get tight. Imagine being unemployed, but knowing that you have 6 months to a year of food saved. How much would that ease your mind?

/rant. No hard feelings intended. I just wanted to offer another perspective. Weapons are good too!

Reality here is water is easy to find. Food if you have a gun you can hunt, you could always pillage and plunder but the comment was made as a sarcastic remark but it appears to have set a lot of those on the edge.. over the edge.

For those folks.. get a life and calm down.

For you radiohead, I appreciate the honest input and feedback.
