Just double down on ammo. It's not like it's going to get any cheaper.
Back in the '90s, I bought enough .22 plinking ammo to last the rest of my life, and I'm glad I did. I paid less than 1/3 of what they want for it today.

OK who leaked the plans for my bunker to you?
That's my solution to lots of problems.

How often do you inventory it, check flashlight batteries, expiration dates on meds?
I inventory mine on the 1st of every month.
But I think the topic deserves a thread of it's own, so we can hear what people put in theirs, and how they manage it.

So from your sarcasm I take it you think ‘prepping’ is a waste of time. good for you
history proves you wrong but each to their own
No serious “Prepper” would allow their preparations to be known by the whole world.

Have you ever really tested your food? I did and was very surprised at how fast it disappears.
Just set mythtv to record this. The first episode is named "Bullets, lots of Bullets".
There might be times when bug out is the only option and you have no other choice.
But in general, I tend to think bug out is a bad choice.
You and 3 million other people will be out there on the roads, probably not moving very fast if at all, each and every one in bug-out zombie mode.
EGGSactly Batman.
Myself my only "preparing" is the Tater Salad System.
1. Buy a Helmet.
2. Put on the Damn Helmet.
I’m not a DOOMSDAY preppar. I do take prudent preparations for a possible breakdown of societal institutions. Do you want to put your family’s existance totally in the hands of the Government? Especially this Government? If there was a breakdown the low life in the cities would be looking to take what the Government could no longer provide to them...
If there is really a preppers’ ping, please add me to it! Thanks!
But if any structure on the property is sound, I'll shelter in place.
Oh, btw, roads and shelters are for targets. I can be camped in the woods less than 10 minutes of walking from my place.
It helps to have grown up in the area and know every nook and cranny of it. ;)

This alone suggests to me that "Doomsday Preppers" is going to be off-base (and probably deliberately so).

At Last, our 5 seconds of fame!
Tell me about it. I just bought some more .22 ammo. I have the same box of 525 bullets I bought 5 years ago, and it was $10.00 cheaper. I got 10,000 rounds plus or minus 1,000. Looking to stock up to 25,000. I have most of my weapons at .22 and it makes it easier to buy ammo since they all take the same.
Too bad about the others I lost in that tragic boat mishap.
