what should I stock up on??

I know a lot of us guys like to think food guns and ammo. but what about shoes or boots i bet a good pair of boot will fitch a high price if things get as shitty as i think they might. dont forget about clothes too you can get a lot at a local thrift store (i use cheap clothes for work around the house) you can get about a weeks worth for about $60 to $70 bucks.

Black Blade Dude you need a room mate??? I like the cut in you jib nevr thought much about a crossbow good one

lol on roommate idea.... +1 on crossbow. I think its a must have. good call on extra shoes and boots too.... first person to mention it, and its a GREAT idea.

[ARMO]

also I have done some googling, and its pretty easy to make an allright bow yourself, I think it would be fun to do and a good skill to have.

seeds another great idea.

Be sure to choose ones that are not hybrids. They don't breed true.

Get the duel fuel type colemans that can run on gas and spare generators and mantles. extra globes wouldn't hurt either. Take a 3" section of a small/medium coffee can with holes cut in the top and sides to allow the heat out. Set it on top of your coleman lantern making a flat surface to set a small pot or pan on. This will allow you to use the lantern to heat up your food, or cook on it if you're not in a hurry. I've used my coleman 295 duel fuel lantern many times hunting up in the mountains when the wind was blowing the snow sideways. Works great to heat up a can of chille or a single serving of food. You'll already have the lantern going anyway.

I have the dual fuel. I just think the white gas smells better.

I'm going to gather a good rope assortment. Can't have too much rope. I don't have one of those fire sparkers either.
I bought a case of " strike anywhere" kitchen matches.

Has anyone thought of keeping a couple pair of handcuffs in the house? in case of home invasion where you don't just kill them?

[Bradrock]

For trade bait; how about cans of Bugler or Tops tobacco? I know what it's like to try quitting. I bet people would give their left nut for a smoke after about two days without.
