[smokingman]

I do not agree with the order things will disappear,however great post.

 

[MACHINEGUN]

I have all of that in my bug out bag.



























I wish.

 

[scooter75]

Great list....This may sound stupid. I went to Wally World the other day to get some Blue Kitchen Strike anywhere matches and they did not sell them. Where can I get them. (Don't forget to make a special batch of matches dipped in wax to keep them water proof....at least that is what my scout master told me a long time ago!)

You are not going to believe where I found matches. GFS in greenwood,in bulk.Was june or so when I got mine,I would assume they still have them.

just to be clear, i did not write that list

[scooter75]

Thanks!

Hardware stores and you have to ask for them.

Do not just leave these matches laying out. There is a good reason why these matches were kept in tin match boxes in the days when they were in every day use. A mouse chewing on them will strike them.

I hope there isn't a run on whisks before I get one for my BOB.

Think I found something missing. Alcohol...and I do not mean the rubbing kind(maybe rubbing of tummies). I drink maybe 10 times a year in moderation 99.9 percent of the time. But I would be rather sad if I never had a nice scotch,or even a captain and coke again

[9rows]

and seriously, is a fella really gonna buy clothes pins before he buys batteries or a first aid kit?

i am thinking that after #1 (generators), the list gets pretty random pretty quickly.

 

[smokingman]

I missed it lol.Thanks guys.

 

[csaws]

I would eat the dog when he ran out of dog food rather than keep dog food.

 

[SirRealism]

I guess that would depend on whether you have the type of dog that'd try defend you. I have dog food in my SHTF supplies. My dogs are definitely worth it.

He's right, you know. I know my dog would tear some people up need be.

 

[jeremy]

I don't keep dog food on my list of things to have post SHTF. I am counting on my dogs as hunters of food. Amazing at how good they get when they are hungry.

They aren't called "man's best friend" for nothing. A fine addition to most any home, they're an easily maintained home or vehicle security system, an aid to a hunter if trained properly, and they're good companionship to boot. I wasn't much of a dog person until I married one. My wife is really into dogs and she's really helped me understand them. They can be a hassle at times, but I'm glad to have one around the house.
