A lot of shite that has gone bad by now.

Not kidding, I knew a guy who ordered some huge arse containers of rice in 2009 directly from some Asian import company. He even had buried one container to hide it.

alcohol, tobacco and porn. As well as plenty to defend it with. Oh and toilet paper, and feminine hygiene products.

Twelve drummers drumming
Eleven pipers piping
Ten lords a-leaping
Nine ladies dancing
Eight maids a-milking
Seven swans a-swimming
Six geese a-laying
Five golden rings
Four calling birds
Three french hens
Two turtle doves
and a partridge in a pear tree

#1. Water.
Can't make it only 3 maybe 4 days w/out H2O.

I keep several cases of bottled water, continually rotating it out. Bottled H2O will keep for 2 years.

I have a several Aqua-tainer for water storage(those big bulky square containers at Wall-marks).

I have a gallon of unscented liquid bleach to kill a lot of the nasties in water BUT liquid bleach begins to degrade after about 6 mths.

Go to a pool shop and get some pool-shock(calcium hypochlorite). A 5 lb bucket of that stuff will last many years to kill virues and bacteria in water.

A few vial of idodine would be good too have or water purification tablets. You can easily carry them in your pocket or BOB if you have to go mobile.
I have a ton of coffee filters but I also have several soft polishing clothes or 'cheese cloth'. That will filter out a lot the larger particles in water.

Get a good MANUAL water filtration system. Power or electricity may not be restored for weeks or months or maybe never(Mad-Max scenorio).

Sawyer is about the top of the line system you can buy. Other good systems are Big Berkey, Katadyn and Monolithic

A person can get extremely ill by drinking contaminated water so that is why is so important to.

Other things, lots of guns and ammo.

Food like Mountain House freeze dried food, canned tuna & salmon, corned-beef hash(lots of protein, carbs, and fats), Dinty Moore soups, salt & pepper...

Rice and lintile beans(easier to cook) stored in food-grade buckets. A Coleman stove and lots of propane cylinders.

Medical supplies and several 1st Aid reference books. Also reference books of medical procedures

Toilet paper, soap, toothpaste & toothbrushes, axes & hatchets. Lots of hand tools like saws, screw drivers, pliers...

Gardening tools like shovels, rakes and hoes...and yes, Legacy seeds. Seeds from hybrids will grow food, legacy seeds are a must...

Bow & arrows for hunting. No need to give your position away or waste bullets.

Flint for starting fires.

A still and oaken barrels for spirits!

If it gets so bad in this country that I need all of these things just to survive, frick it. I'd rather just be dead than live under such shitty conditions.

you have to hace plenty of bullets so that when ppl try to steal your food you shoot them. Then make jerky out of them and bam you have more food.

I've thought about learning how to distill as a hobby. That skill would be useful.
