Thanks to the OP I need this BADLY! I suck at identifying plants and trees even if I planted them. lmao

Many times people do projects at a time of year and don’t look forward to weather changes and how they may affect the project. I’ve also noticed many people don’t take in to account what a building or shed or whatever may affect drainage or cause drainage issues.

That’s great!

That’s great. You got me on that one I don’t have any OTC stuff that I don’t already use. Yes I do have those stored but items I’ve never needed or used I don’t, again great idea.
I also agree with @Wilburs-Place about keeping meds and I do so but I also have the books and some seeds and plants.

You’re preaching to the quire! I have carried everyday for over 20 years. Once you or I or the guy next door has a 100 rounds or a 1000 rounds it’s time to move past it to other items you are much more likely to need and need bad. Once you have them then pick up another 10,000 or 100,000 or whatever suits your fancy.

Don’t forget drinking distilled water can strip needed minerals out of your body.

Books or hard copy knowledge is an ABSOLUTE must have in my opinion. Don’t forget places like Thrift books for good used books cheap. One I would suggest everyone get is a herbal PDR along with a regular PDR.

Great idea! Tools are a MUST have. But also please try and think of some of the small less expensive items that not having could really cause problems. These things will be different for many of us and many more will be the exact same for us all.

I’m not suggesting anyone got buy new shoes for the next ten years. Then again a few bucks for thrift store clothes or shoes that may never be worn might not be such a bad idea.
-
Not a bad idea at all. Only thing is that seems to be one of the things most preppers jump at first out of the gate. Even though the odds of needing guns and ammo before food & water is pretty slim. I’m not knocking what you’re saying just trying to get people to think about what they as individuals may have overlooked. Be it clothes for after SHTF weight loss or shoes for your child ten years from now when they are fifteen.

You are correct. I’m just trying to encourage people to think farther ahead and from more angles.
-
Excellent thought, point and post. One place it kind of falls down though is the very limited shelf life of most medications even when refrigerated or frozen. But lets take it a step further a herbal and mineral PDR and seeds to grow the plants and books to identify wild plants for use medicinally.
-
That’s great and thinking ahead. But how about more day to day items that will stop a repair or project cold if you don’t have it.
Fasteners is another good thing to have and as long as they stay dry nails, screws and staples never go bad.
Much like wiring connectors and wire itself.

Like I said I’m not sure how it works.

I know a fella from another site who works for the railroad. He says not to much to worry about since congress has the authority to force them back to work. Not sure how all that works.
