Keep it simple - and cheap. Don’t try to stock up planning on big, fancy dinner parties. Depends on what your current living situation is as to what you need to stock. For instance, we have a well with prep for manual use, so we didn’t need to store up a lot of drinking water. Think it out and do what is right for you; and don’t stress. Make a start a step or two at a time, and keep on a day at a time.

I have huge amounts of ammo (I usually buy range ammo in lots of 500 to 1000 rounds at gun shows)and lots of components to load more.

I also have enough firearms to arm my neighborhood and extended family.

I live in the unincorporated part of a county, have a steam through my back yard for water and my neighbor across the steam has livestock in his pasture.

Things could collapse in inner cities until the national guard/army is called out, but I doubt that riots would last more than a couple weeks, before things were brought under control.

I also have a well, who did you get to made it also prep for manual...I have been thinking the same thing for my well. For me, when power goes out no water, when the grid went down for 3 weeks a few years back, water was the only thing I needed...used match to start gas stove and kerosene heater for the home. Did you do it yourself...my well is only about 35 foot deep. The pump has been replaced and the pipe and pump were pretty easy to bring up but I had a well man do it....
