Sorry for the late response.

I wish I lived on a bay. I have a private well, drilled for Y2k, but if the power is out, I either make a lot of noise with a generator or haul water up a quart at the time.

.22 Ammo is a good thing to have in large quantities... for protection, game and trading. I don’t really want to give anyone 7.62 rounds in trade. If I could trade BB’s, I would.

If you haven’t read “One Second After”, I highly recommend it.

The author is a smart guy who carefully considered and laid out the initial stresses and deterioration of society in the first few days of a collapse of services that, while caused by EMP in the book, could be caused by any number of events... such as this financial situation.

Newt Gingrich wrote the forward. Newt also brought up the danger of an EMP strike in the last debate as being the greatest external threat that we faced.

Isn't he the one who said that the people with the antibiotics would be the survivors of such an event?

I've gotten my antibiotics (no prescription) from here for years. Stored in a cool dry place, they'll last for up to 15 years without diminished strength.
