Another Emergency Survival Preparedness List
Modern Survival Blog ^ | 12/1/12 | Be informed

Posted on 12/09/2012 1:00:31 PM PST by Kartographer

Lists are often helpful in that often times you will find a gem within, something you may not have thought of. Here is a list in no particular order of items worth considering in your overall emergency survival preparedness plans. As with most lists of this type, they are seldom all inclusive. So long as the list provokes thought, then it’s a good thing.

Wow, except for the rabbits, chickens, and goats, Mr. Mercat keeps this stuff around all the time and always had. Weird. And we do have chickens and goats to rescue/buy within two miles of our farm. Lots. Rabbits are very annoying animals. I don’t think I want rabbits.

You’d need a rather large vehicle to carry all that equipment.
I assume a cache system for much of the equipment is to be used.

rabbits are good for food and clothing. They do have their uses, even if they are pain in the butt.

Either you have it before SHTF or you will do without or pay dear for it after.

Yes I know. I have been properly chastized.

I have most of that list, no farm animals though, I’ve got nowhere to keep them.

I’d add propane to that list. Camping cylinders, standard grill sized tanks, a big tank if you have space on your property and vendors to fill.

I'm getting a PA system for the property. More for an authoritative "Get off my lawn!" than for disaster prep, but it might come in handy for disaster prep.

I’ve got a PA system. I went with the one manufactured by Mossberg. The Model 500 has sufficient volume to get the message across.

I have a lot of the same Certifications and education as this woman. Even got myself a fancy Degree (associates in Applied Science, Emergency Management) and one thing I learned from those courses is that this type of person is the one who will need to be dealt with first if/when the SHTF.

She will quite happily order confiscation of your resources under her Emergency Powers or some other clap trap. And he or she will do it because your “selfish” and “unfair”. So let them play their little games right up until the wheels come off. Then do what needs to be done quickly, quietly, and without mercy or remorse.

No problem. I figured that was the case, or that you had been into the cooking sherry. ;)

I'd add large sheets of cardboard to the list. It makes for good insulation, a temporary cover for holes, use for making candle/cookers, make a solar oven, temporary shelter, or use as a blanket.

In the comments, someone said they were stocking Dr. Pepper. Remember, there is an expiration date. The carbonation will go flat and after a while it tastes like can.

It looks like I may be putting up a few jars of salsa. The freeze is going to hit tomorrow night and there are lots of green tomatoes in the garden. Will also have to pick the mustard, spinach and lettuce for the freezer. Old Man Frost can have the RIDICULOUSLY HOT jalapenos.

Me Neither I like Chickens. I had rabbits once they are a pain.

I’m researching propane generators. I’d appreciate any comments from people who know about them or have experience with them. I’m leaning toward kohler 14kw.
