Thanks for the post. Great info.

Item # 94 needs to be a bit more closer to the # 1 position!

[AKarl_12]

You forgot funnels of assorted sizes, you could tie it into # 74.
You ever try to pour from a large water can into a drink bottle?
Hard to do with out a funnel.

And Dust mask or nuisance mask, in the event of a major disaster with dead body’s stinking up the place they help cut the odor.
Work it in with #88

[deth502]

this is an old list. iirc it waqs for y2k preparedness, so yes, it could use a few updates.

one thing i didnt see mentioned was extra prescription meds, and ASPRIN!! possibly intended to be included in "first aid kit" or "vitamins", but i think its important enough to be mentioned seperatley.

No, they really don't. Gas masks hardly cut it, been there. Change your filters afterward or get a reminder next time you put it on.

[ERock45]

50lb bag of rice @ Sam's Club or Costco is now $25.95 per bag...

[BigDdy31]

Not the most recommended solution but a dustmask dampened w/ a little gas will help de-sensitize one to the odour somewhat.

Everybody is thinking of what is to come.

We all know it is in bound.

Get ready.

Regular roadside flares are excellent to have as well. Also, plastic(like in rain slickers, panchos or painting drop cloths).
Did I miss radio(handcrank), batteries and guns?
