Um, yeah this is the part where anyone who ever wondered if I was nuts will quit wondering.

*4 people x 2 gals water/day x 15 days + 12,000 gallon swimming pool and plenty of water purifaction options for 6 months.

*Enough MRE's for a week, Mountain House stuff for 60 days, lots of canned foods and other long shelf life foods

*A significant amount of first aid supplies and some basic medical stuff

*Months worth of toiletries

*Camping supplies

*Candles and more than a few windup flashlights

*a number of ways to cook without power

*2 way radios + 1 crank radio

*Firearms designed for different duties, plenty of ammunition for any situation

Each car and office have go bags with checklists and 3 day supplies and equipment.

Yeah, I probably am nuts but I doubt I'll ever regret having the stuff.

Tools, some lumber, a shitton of paracord, several pair of comfy boots and plenty of durable clothing, detailed maps, propane, plenty of alcohol, coffee + percolator, camelbaks, knives, hiking sticks, ... the list grows when I see something I think might be useful.

I don't think you're nuts. i forgot to mention the frst aid stuff. And the radios and walkie talkies. And batteries. We don't have shitloads of kleenex and bogroll,though -well we do, but they're stored upstairs. but we do have a huge stack of old towels. In the car we just have water, small medical supplies, several changes of clothes and blankets. this is nothing to do with armageddon, though, it's necessary for our overly-scheduled family survival

Maybe ...only when you see the refugee line outside your door?

At least you'll have plenty of toilet paper to share.:p
