Make sure the tin foil hat is firmly in place and start diggin that bunker the end is near!
Anything we do to prepare is a step in the right direction..
The government is quickly buying up ammo for a reason..
Add to your list as much medicine products you can stock pile as well...Most have a one year life expenditure and if kept unopened and in cool temps out of the sun-light you can extend them somewhat...Canned goods even tho I don't use them now will become invaluable later~~
So much to plan for, just "do it".Every little bit helps..Have a friend, who I thought was a little out there, tell me and show me his underground "bunker, so to speak..I don't think he's "out there" anymore...He has it set up with furniture, short wave radio, canned goods galore, candles, bedding, clothes, weapons, books, magazines, medicine etc...Everything we live with now and may not have later, in other words..
Most important thing is Water,without it your dead ,best get
Life Straws from a company called Earth Easy 19.95 last for about 1200 gallons of toxic free water take care of that asap

Unless you're used to power outages even when the sun is shining brightly, you live in the country where power lines are easy targets for wind sheers, infrequent tornadoes and hurricanes, and in the winter, ice storms....it's easy to feel caught a little flat footed. We've been caught a time or two and we're used to it....now. Horrible snow/ice storm the winter after Hurricane Isobel hit us dead on, 2 feet of snow, ice a good 1/2" - 3/4" thick that came first, and then wind sheers that night that roared through, a good 60 mph, at least, no electricity for a week with temps around 0 - 10F above. Generator malfunctioned, we couldn't get out because we had difficulty maneuvering the tractor without going off into the woods....and it was a cold, cold winter and we hadn't planned as well as we should have with regard to firewood for our wood burning stove. I learned a thousand things to do with snow and about day three? I started looking at furniture, hoping it was rickety, because I started looking at it as potential firewood!! When the first wind sheer roared through that night without warning, I was sitting at my computer on the second floor. In total darkness, I sat myself down the flight of stairs, wondering where was that trusty flashlight and did we have any candles left, after Hurricane Isobel....
