Besides the lifestraw wouldn't you need to gather hundreds of gallons of water cause a readily available source of water isn't always guaranteed.

If you plan on staying in 1 location then yes, storing water is a good option. But if ish hits the fan, staying stationary wont be much of an option. Thats where things like lifestraw comes in handy.

First of all, why are you going to fight/struggle to live in a post apocalyptic world? This aint Fallout, its not going to be trill in the least.

**** that. If I'm out, I'm out. I know where I'm going.

Second, if its "Doomsday"....****** DOOMSDAY...that **** aint gonna help.

[rocman23]

These are pretty good suggestions

 

[rustlenomics]

my girlfriend thinks im crazy when i tell her we need to get strapped and soon.

im also going to get body armor, we have flashlights and leathermans (multitools) but as far as rations go i doubt we will get far on coke and hummus.

i live on the san andreas fault and we've been long overdue for "the big one" for about 20 years now.

these times are crazy, i always have my multitool on me no matter what.

I've been thinkin about this a lot lately.

I was thinking about getting a storage drum and storing drinking water in it as well as investing in some MREs

Amazon has a "bundle" w/ the magnesium fire starter u posted, 4 mylar blankets, and walter treatment tablets for just over $15 which isn't bad. The real cost is firearms and the gasmasks

I think the gas masks are pretty cheap ($25-$30).

Some that I've seen have been in the $100+ range and I need to purchase 3.

And [COLOR=#red]RustleNomics[/COLOR] my wife is the same way.I tell her we need to prepare and she has this whole "If we're meant to die, we will" mentality. I aint sayin we won't die but why it gotta be when ish hits the fan, I'm a fighter

Repped. I've seen em on websites but they were a lot pricier than on here, even better that the children's ones aren't that expensive either.

I've been doin some research and here's a few other things that could be used:

• Compass
• bandanas (multiple uses from a dusk mask to covering wounds
• waterproof backpacks
• a window punch (more discrete than throwing a brick through one)
• a first aid kit, obviously
• a multi purpose belt
