Many survival preppers talk about stashing their cache supplies and its content. But, not much is talked about other things to look for or have in their cache that doesn't fall under food and water. Here 10 that you may have overlooked.
1. Heirlooms Seeds - For the uninitiated, heirloom seeds are ones that are a true strain. Meaning, if you grow a watermelon from an heirloom seed, the seeds found in the ripe melon can be planted the next season and will, theoretically at least, grow just fine.
2. Greenhouse Supplies - Even a very basic hoop house covered in plastic will greatly extend the growing season. You can find plans online for several different types of DIY greenhouses.
3. Fire Extinguishers - When all fire-fighting duties fall on you and your family, you'll certainly appreciate the addition of at least a few decent fire extinguishers.
4. Wagons - Whether it is a robust model like you’d find at a garden center or just an old Radio Flyer, wagons are excellent back savers.
5. Feminine Hygiene and Health Products - Many if not most preppers will think to stock up on things like pads and tampons, especially if there's a female involved with the prepping.
6. Sewing Supplies - If traveling down to the local discount retailer to pick up new duds becomes no longer an option, having at least needles, thread, and some patches will extend the life of your clothes. Read the rest of the story here.
In that pic the girls look like they have a bad case of mange. =}
couple of cases of cheap Burbon in half pints.
I think there will be a market.
Ammo
#1 will be to find a conservative with a gun that will maybe protect your arse.
ping
Underwater masks to help us find all our lost firearms?
Why would that conservative with a gun want to protect your arse?
Better to BE the conservative with a gun.
A good water purifier.
Preppers’ PING!!
Note: No mater what you are looking for and what you have or what you find it isn’t yours unless you can protect it. Not even your life.
Yeah, but Laz would still hit it!
Dehydrated food with a long shelf life AND WATER and the ability to heat it!
Drones for recon intel about which homes have food, fuel, transportation.
True but the libs think we will all be friends when the SHFT. I have news for them.
And the skinny one has freakish skin discolorations up and down both arms.
She should see a doctor.
Beat me to it!
What is purified water? You need something to sterilize the water. Some filters can take out the dangerous pathogens but chemicals like the EPA’s Colorado spill had heavy metals also.
And more ammo.
They’re in for an ugly surprise.
Remember the old bumper sticker?
“Gas, Grass or Ass. Nobody Rides Free.”
Hope you don't mind I borrowed the list.
I can tell you what resource I have been running out of the most myself and that is WOOD of all things.
Building is insatiable.
