There are many survival preparedness items that you can store now, and “forget” about, which you may need later during varying degrees of an emergency. The following are 55 suggested items that you can store and have ready.

Got em all. I’m ready...
Apocalypse? Let’s rock..
My beloved grandfather taught me to cut *upwards* when using a knife to sharpen a pencil. Never seemed to work for me....
Ping for later
Dumb. They would take more space than the soap to wash dishes. More likely you would be conserving water.
LEFT OFF...BLEACH, which is in my top 5.
I prefer Calcium hypochlorite much much longer shelf life than liquid bleach and a small amount goes a very long way.

actually better than lamps that use oil and smoke like a blaze, I’d recommend lanterns that are hand cranked.
Absolutely. Calcium hypochlorite is the first thing any prepper should acquire in my book.
Also, I recommend Googling 'bleach +"white vinegar" '
(For the newbie, you can make your own bleach by adding a tiny amount of calcium hypochlorite to water)
CAUTION: Calcium hypochlorite should be stored and handled with care. Anyone obtaining it should research it thoroughly.
If you haven’t already it’s time to prepare. You needed to be stocking up on food guns, ammo, basic household supplies like soap, papergoods, cleaning supplies, good sturdy clothes including extra socks, underwear and extra shoes and boots, a extra couple changes of oil and filters for your car, tools, things you buy everyday start buying two and put one up.
If you are just starting or an old hand at prepping I like to recomend that you look over my Preparedness Manual which you can down load at:

I think that we are at the very least in for a collapse much like that of Argentina’s ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7yerKMQc7-w&feature=grec_index), but as a armed society with a very large entitlement minded population our collapse will be much more violent and I see many many small business wiped out by flash mob looting, and large scale violence (look at what happened just this past Memorial Day weekend)and then there is this is going on in Chicago:”Emanuel said he spoke with McCarthy over the weekend and again this morning about the situation. The mayor said the city’s reputation as a safe place to work and shop downtown is being endangered by the thuggery. Many of the attacks are happening near the biggest tourist and shopping attractions in the city.
But, CBS 2’s Jim Williams reports, the problem of mob attacks downtown is much bigger than the weekend beatings, according to beat cops who wanted to remain anonymous.”
And it’s not just Chicago most major big ‘Blue’ cities are increasingly reporting such flash mobs and gang muggings.
I see what I call ‘Pocket Pogroms’ taking place in many big ‘Blue’ cities and if you aren’t a “0bamamites’ yute” it’s going to get Reginald Denny bad for you very quickly.
As the LDS say “When the emergency is upon us the time for preparedness has past.”
Or as the bible says: A prudent man sees danger and takes refuge, but the simple keep going and suffer for it.
NIV Proverbs 22:3
And a little something for those who do not believe:
“Chance favors the prepared mind.”-Louis Pasteur
I don’t worry about shelf life, because I use it. I just keep extra on hand, and it’s only a dollar a gallon anyway. And at 1-2 drops per pint you can purify a lot of water with a gallon.
