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.

These list are never one hundred precent, but they all have a few things different so are worth a once over. This one I not list dental needs and paper, pens and pencils. And like the lowly can opener don't for get the pencil sharpener. ;-)

Heavens to Betsy. Thank God we won't need spellcheck or auto-correct.

Just kidding. Just having a little fun.

Ping for later. Curious to see how "complete" FReepers find the list.

They left off a host of must needs. Starting with .22 and ending with the most you can handle. Not to mention cold weather gear etc. Looks like a list for apt dwellers.

29. Bathroom towels. All sizes from hand to bath. You will be very grateful to be able to dry yourself off with something you are use to.

"A towel, it says, is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have. Partly it has great practical value - you can wrap it around you for warmth as you bound across the cold moons of Jaglan Beta; you can lie on it on the brilliant marble-sanded beaches of Santraginus V, inhaling the heady sea vapours; you can sleep under it beneath the stars which shine so redly on the desert world of Kakrafoon; use it to sail a mini raft down the slow heavy river Moth; wet it for use in hand-to- hand-combat; wrap it round your head to ward off noxious fumes or to avoid the gaze of the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal (a mindboggingly stupid animal, it assumes that if you can't see it, it can't see you - daft as a bush, but very ravenous); you can wave your towel in emergencies as a distress signal, and of course dry yourself off with it if it still seems to be clean enough."

Lot of uses.... Lot of uses... Lot of uses.

Seems like Common Sense should be at the top of the list to figure out the uses part.

Land for the sheep to graze on and shears for the wool.

Don’t need a pencil sharpener if you have a knife.

[Kartographer]

I waste more pencil than I sharpen when I use a knife. ;-)

In lieu of candles, I would recommend oil lamps/lanterns and stocking up on lamp oil.

Right now I could survive for over a year and I’m adding things every so often. The most important thing is spiritual preparation, especially in these times. Don’t be caught scrambling when tshtf, be in a position where you can lead.
