I'll be the first to admit, those survivalists have always struck me as kooks, but maybe they're going to have the last laugh someday with today's political climate and ever-present potential for natural disasters.
I haven't filled up the water bottles or thought about canned goods or other non-perishables for some time now. 2001 was the last time it came to mind.
1990 and Iben Browning before that.
In a worst-case scenario, say a 7.5 earthquake or worse from the New Madrid fault...or other major disaster.
If we survive the quake or bomb or whatever else, it's extremely likely that we'll face similar challenges for survival.
What's your Top 10? I doubt I'll really follow up on any of this stuff, but it got me to thinking.
1. Water
2. Extensive first aid kit, including toiletries
3. Matches
4. Canned goods
5. Weber grill, pots, pans, charcoal
6. Heavy clothing, blankets
7. Rifle, revolver, ammo, small animal traps, knives
8. Firewood
9. Bicycle or other mode of non-fuel transport
10. Batteries, radio
10a. Liquor (we're going to need it)
