Just a suggestion for those interested. I've had my 72 hour kit for five years now, I rotate the food yearly, check everything else. "If ye are prepared, ye need not fear." I didn't portray this kit as anything else than a 72 hour kit. As a member of the LDS church, we are also counseled to have a year's supply of food and water. Would you like me to post that list? :)

"Cash in small bills, coins, camera, magic markers, paper/note cards. Booze." LOL. Don't forget outdoor cooking posibilities. We may lose gas/electricity?

I don't think guns will help during a chemical attack but we have ours ready......

Giggle. No women in your household, I presume...

In all seriousness - probably a couple pints of decent whiskey and maybe a couple cartons of cigarettes to use as trade goods. Some ballpoint pens and paper might be nice. A .22 cal rifle and ammunition might help. Coffee (freeze dried) and tea bags would be good. And, if you really think that matters will hit the fan, lockpicks. (Yes, you CAN buy them on the internet!)

Booze. If someone is addicted to that or tobacco, they ought to see if they can quit cold turkey RIGHT NOW. Better to get over it before the big one.

Do I really have to get feminine hygiene products? Checking out at the store is SO embarassing. One time I made a run into town (25 miles away) and my wife wanted me to pick up a few bras on sale at K-Mart. No biggie. Only a man who wasn't sure of his masculinity would be afraid to carry out that request.

I don't think guns will help during a chemical attack The guns are not for defending against the chemical attack. They are for defending against those who didn't prepare and will take your stuff by force.

As I read through the list, I noticed how much it looked like the one a Mormon co-worker forwarded me after The Eleventh - then I saw who had posted it. Several things you both left off your lists, though I can't imagine why:
;-)
coffee, coffee creamer, cigarettes, and whiskey

"Have you considerd buying a gun or ammo yet?" Nah. I'll use the old .22 rifle that my dad left me. It's held together with rubber bands and duct tape. (...and that's all I'll need.)

Correct. Think about it. What would it be like in urban areas, say, 36 hours after the store shelves were out of milk????

Would you like me to post that list? Might be a good idea. Most aren't taking the danger series, but for those who always intended to do that someday, this might be the day.

Post away...

All this stuff is getting way out of hand (Dark Winter, etc...). There will be no attack that would threaten civilization or anything else. Maybe a car bomb in Europe.
My greatest fear is that they'll detonate a bomb containing a small amount of radioactive waste. I'm not afraid of the waste since its basically harmless. I'm afraid the media will hype the story to the moon. The media is capable of terrorizing Americans far more than Al Qaeda.

LOL! Well, I did say the list was flexible, and to plan for your own needs. I'm sure that many Mormons have pretty much the same list, we've had several lessons over the years, urging us to get prepared.
To: Citizen Tom Paine
In your kit, how about a rifle and 1,000 rounds of ammo? Those are the only things in my kit.

Thanks for the post. A FEMA document, "Are You Ready? A Guide to Citizen Preparedness," can be found at
http://www.fema.com/areyouready/ . This can be read as Adobe PDF files or read directly into a word processing program. It covers many kinds of emergencies beyond terrorist attack, but the "Emergency Planning and Disaster Supply" section is very useful.
