It sounds like you’re ahead of most of the rest of the world. Don’t forget water/water purification. Pick up some more ammo, and spend an afternoon or two at a range (or a gravel pit) to get reaquainted with your guns.

You’re right... the new money will be guns and ammunition, booze, soap, and toilet paper.

Where would one find water purification stuff...I have my own well and talked with another freeper about getting a hand pump for it in case of no electricity...they said it could be done, but haven't researched it yet...that would take care of water if I can do that, but having a purification set up would be a good back up plan..

I would never barter away my booze, but might ammo and toilet paper....:O)

Booze and soap are easier to make than those other 3. Although I'm looking for a good gunsmithing book or class.

People tend to feed their addictions more when under stress. It's not prudent, but it's true. So: alcohol, tobacco, and junk food. I'm developing the means to make all three. Still haven't found a local source for salt, but there are substitutes I can make.
