Damn, now the gov't is spending taxpayer money to fund emergency gear
kits for the gov't employees but not us. It figures. But 2-day kits
will only get them killed by rioters who don't have one. Those
employees don't have the mindset, gear, body strength, mental stamina,
or street/bush knowledge to be able to survive after the lights go
out.

So you need to buy LOTS of stuff -- especially American-made ammo. Buy
all you can carry.

Buy more American-made guns, too. Also, all you can carry. And
canteens -- American made only, please.

Generators -- one isn't enough. Repair parts for everything. Buy lots
of tools. And canvas. You can never have too much canvas.

There's all kinds of stuff you need for when TSHTF. Night-vision
scopes, ATVs...buy, buy, buy. Buy a mule. Make it two -- you need one
to carry your stuff. Take out a loan so you can buy more..and pay
cash, please.

#1 thing survival nuts need for TEOTWAWKI: a crew. So that they can
take shifts sleeping. Two main problems: being a survival nut tends to
mean a low supply of worthwhile friends. And most of them are too
paranoid to trust each other. So after they fulfill your list, they
should stock up on a further supply of paranoia about their friends
stealing their canvas etc.

The entire survivalist enterprise is the product of illogic and a
freakish paranoid fear. In the event of some kind of catastrophe, the
only "survivable" state will be one they haven't anticipated.

The ones they *have* anticipated are mostly scenes from old B-movies,
with the survivalists as protagonists and heroes. Meanwhile, it's much
more likely they would be road kill. Most likely of all, their ammo
will corrode and their canned food will turn to liquid mush waiting
for something to happen.
