Gold & Silver Forum - Survival List

OK, this list was made up TEN YEARS ago. It is WAY out of date. It's worth what you paid for it. For example, we have a 'camping' food box. Holds all that's listed and then some. When we are ready for a three day outing, grab that, our two burner stove and water and away we go.

There is definately some duplication on this list. You will see TP in several lists. It was the ONE ITEM my father said if he were to do it again as far as being in a war (WWII vet), he would DEFINATELY have more/better TP. Nothing worse than using local flora as a poor substitute. That has ALWAYS stuck with me. SO LOTS of TP.

The lists have been changed, modified, expanded, etc over the years.

Don't forget YOUR PAPERS! YOU MUST HAF YOUR PAPERS TO GO ANYWHERE. That should include all insurance and medical stuff. As well as id's etc.

And some form of timeline (the first 24 hours, the first 48 hours, the first week, the first month) AND some form of communications with someone NOT in the disaster zone that can communicate to other family members your status. This was all started because we lived in KALIFORNIA for several years. We have always had this type of preparedness since then.

Hope it helps.
